“Jillian is fantastic! She give great updates and adorable pictures and my pup loves her. She even hangs out with my cat a bit which I appreciate.”


About: Hello! I will give your pet the same attention and care that I give my own pets which includes constant walks, play time, and attention. I have experience with both cats and dogs so you can trust that I can effectively care for both types of pets. I will accommodate any unique needs that your dog or cat requires and will go above and beyond to ensure that your buddy is content. Whether it means letting your dog out or taking the dog for long walks totaling more than 30 minutes— I ran cross country in high school so I’m happy to tire your dog out making them ideal company for when you return! Since I have had multiple dogs and cats at one time I know how to handle a confrontation between two pets. If a dangerous situation arises I will always keep the pet safe! I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies! I will offer flexibility with scheduling along with the quality care. This included walks whenever needed as I have the ability to work fully remote. I lack space within my apartment to keep dogs but I'm accommodating to any of the owner's preferences within their home including crating whenever is needed.

About: I’ve taken care of pets for my co-workers and friends for the past several years while they traveled out of town for an extended amount of time. I make sure to check-in every day, feed them, and make sure they get enough attention. I am raising money for marathons I have signed up for over the next year. I’m preparing to run the Marine Corps Marathon and aim to run the Boston Marathon. I usually work evenings from 3-11pm Wednesdays through Sundays and I will have time to take care of your pet in the mornings before I get ready for work. When I am in charge of your pet, I make sure sure they have the food the need to remain healthy, give them a walk when they need it, and provide them with enough attention.

“Marissa took such great care of my Daisy girl! She sent lots of pictures and took her on a nice long walk. Marissa is very punctual, flexible, and communicative. I would highly recommend her!”


“Vanessa has been great for our high-energy puppy, Ladybird! With enthusiasm and patience, she tackles walks like a pro, clearly adoring dogs and taking time to connect with them. Vanessa goes above and beyond, keeping us updated with photos and continuous communication giving us total peace of mind. If you need top-notch dog care, look no further than Vanessa!”


About: After many years of asking, I finally received the opportunity to raise my puppy, Shadow and take care of him until his last years. I’m an all around animal lover, and that experience helped enlighten me to the amazing connection between people and their pets! I’ve also worked for a pet supply company where I spent 3 years there, with one of them being a pet care associate. There I was trained on taking care of a wide variety of animals such as kittens / cats, reptiles, aquatics, and small animals like guinea pigs and chinchillas. I’d feed these animals daily, clean up their habitats, and provide them with their medication whenever necessary. I’m a recent graduate and just received my Bachelors degree, but I’m looking to do a bit more work doing something I truly enjoy 😊 I’m currently working Monday- Friday 7-4, but will soon be available Fridays. I’m free weekends, early mornings before I head into work, and later evenings. As long as enough information and resources are provided, I’m completely open to caring for pets with medical conditions, specific dietary guidelines, and other animals besides dogs and cats. Puppies, kittens, small animals, large animals, and elderly animals are all welcomed. When bringing pets outside for their walks or to dog parks I do bring my doggy bags, a small first aid kit, as well as a small air horn specifically meant for stopping animal attacks. Potty time can be limited to specific nearby areas if necessary, or simply walks and can be done every 2 hours. Please make note of any physical limitations to ensure safety during play time 😊

“Carla is very good with my shy golden retriever. I am very appreciative that she is walking with my dog. She is very friendly and easy to talk. Also she can control big dog well, too. I am definitely recommend her to take care dog.”



About: I grew up in a household with many pets of all kinds, I’ve volunteered at an animal shelter, worked in a pet store, and even worked with some exotic animals too. I’m comfortable around animals and I work hard to insure they feel safe and active with me. I am able to read a pet’s body language and communicate well both verbally and nonverbally. Every animal is different and has their own unique personality, and it’s a joy and reward to get to know each one. I have a flexible schedule and have experience long term housesitting (up to a month at a time). I work for myself so I can be really flexible with availability. I am happy to be able to tailor my care to your pet and their usual routines. I follow all instructions given to me on pet/home care. I treat the animals and home as if they were my own. I am a neat & tidy person, generally a homebody in the evenings, and I am a respectful sitter of both my clients and their lovely pets.

About: I am super patient and would love to help you out! I also have experience with basic obedient puppy training :)! Have had cats all of my life and my puppy the past year. I am pretty flexible, my current job schedule is always consistent. I don’t work too many hours so I always have more than enough time for my own furr babies. I am always cleaning and made sure to have my pets fed morning and night. Litter box is always cleaned and refilled. I also make sure there’s nothing out that could be harmful for the babies.

About: I’ve grew up with dogs since I was 2 years old and I’ve always been attached to them. Any family member who had a dog, I’d always be over and take them on walks, feed and bathe them..it was always just an automatic reaction for me. In middle school, my cousin and I raised money by coming up with a dog walking job. We use to make signs after school and post them and/or walk with them. We got about 2 pet owners. Just recently, I was heading to work and found an oversized bull dog walking in the middle street and people trying to make her get out of it. I immediately stopped my car and wouldn’t leave until I got her in my car and my spouse and I went and got her food. My manager ended up taking her to the animal rescue. So, dogs have always been apart of my life! I currently work part time so I’ll be available majority of the time to care for your pet needs with no problem! I also have a 16 month old son so certain hours will be his nap time but I will give details when booked. I have two small fur babies and a toddler that will keep your pet company, we have a yard where exercise and fresh air will be guaranteed. If needed your pet can be crated at ur proposal.

I would hire her again in a minute!”
