“Grace was wonderful with my cat, Misha. She gave me regular updates and followed my cat’s super particular schedule. My cat was acting well loved when I got home. Everything went great; and I would not hesitate to have Grace housesit my cat again.”

About: I love dogs and I have dog sat 4 dogs in the past and and I am very kind to dogs and I will walk them as long as needed. I have a dog and he is 8 years old and I have learned many tricks to cheer up dogs and I have a lot experience with our furry four legged friends. I am only available after school on weekdays. The app wouldn’t let me put my real age but I am 13 years old not 19. Even though I am young I know how to take care of dogs and I enjoy it very much. I should always be available on weekends only not if there is a problem in my schedule on weekends. I’m currently working part-time from home with a flexible schedule. I have plenty of time to make sure your pets get the care they require! I am a responsible caretaker and have experience with small and large sized dogs and can follow any directions you provide or need for your animals

“Liz was absolutely fabulous with our (very large!) golden, Cutiepie! While I was initially nervous with our very first petsitter/housesitter, I ended up ecstatic that we had such a lovely person to play with and care for Cutie and look after our home while we were out of town. We received regular photo and text updates, and I was quickly notified about any questions she might have about Cutie's needs. Liz herself has such a wonderful, friendly, and easy going manner about her as well; I felt immediately comfortable with her in my home and with my dog (who has now adopted Liz as her BFF and already misses her!). House was tidy when we returned and Cutie was happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. I'll definitely be booking Liz again next time we need to leave Cutie at home alone! Thank you Liz for being the perfect companion to Cutie while we were away! Couldn't have asked for a better petsitter! <3”


“Annie was awesome!! She took great care of our golden, he had his own vacation while we were gone. Annie kept us up to date and sent some great pictures. She is a natural and our dog absolutely loves her!”

“Sophia was truly amazing. She communicated every step of the way and always reached out with any questions. I appreciated how consistently she kept me informed with updates and photos, and how she let me know when she arrived and left each day. She also gave me helpful summaries of their daily activities so I always knew how Kharma was doing. I came home to a neat and tidy house, the trash taken out, and a very happy dog. It was clear Kharma was well cared for. I’d absolutely trust her again.”


About: I grew up with a black Lab and now have a cat, so I have plenty of hands-on experience caring for both animals! I truly love both animals. I work in office three days a week from 7:30 AM–4:00 PM and have availability both before and after work for pet care. On my two remote workdays, I have even greater flexibility to provide care, and I’m especially flexible on weekends. Dogs will always be kept on a leash unless there is a securely fenced backyard. I closely follow all owner instructions and prioritize each pet’s specific needs. I ensure indoor cats are never let outside, and I maintain their overall care and hygiene by providing fresh food and water, cleaning up as needed, and making sure they are able to go to the bathroom whenever necessary.
“Renee was excellent with our girl. We felt so comfortable with her from the first meet and greet. Very responsive and stayed in touch with pictures and videos each day. She was on top of everything! We will definitely have Renee back to watch Angel again.”

About: Pets are my life, and I give them my full care and attention when in their presence. In previous experiences, I have cleaned litter boxes, administered medications, taken long walks (I'm an avid runner and can even take your dog for a run if they like it!), fed both wet and dry food, and dealt with anxious pets. I am a fairly free agent during breaks from college and can schedule my day around when your pet needs a walk or food! I can come as early as 7am and as late as 9pm! I am very respectful when it comes to coming over and caring for your pets. If you give me clear instructions where food and leash and/or medicine is I will do my duties, hang out with your pet for a while (and send you a cute pic), and leave everything else the way it was. I do not offer to have pets stay at my house.
“Rebecca helped us with our dog for our wedding and she was amazing!! She was so incredibly thoughtful and thorough with the questions she asked when we did a meet and greet. Immediately I knew we were in good hands. She was so good at communicating with us and updating us to let us know how she and our pup were doing. On the day of she brought our dog to the ceremony so we could take pictures with him and then brought him home for us. We were so happy to know our baby was in good hands!”

“Nikki was terrific with my kitties as I was out of town for 8 days. She delivers and additionally left my home in tip-top shape. My cats were very well taken care of and calm upon my return. I could not ask for more.”

“Katrin in awesome! Our shy/nervous dog always has a great time when she watches him. She is also super flexible and has helped watch Max on multiple holidays and last minute for us. We absolutely recommend her!!”


“Elizabeth did a great job watching our two labs (one is a puppy!) at our home. She was very easy going and easy to work with. When we got home the dogs were happy and quite tired! I would definitely use Elizabeth again!”

“Carol is simply the best sitter I’ve ever used! She is so caring, kind and accommodating and provides sweet updates for my girl. I know that Harper is in excellent hands with her and will be so well taken care of. She loves the dogs like her own and will be SO missed after her move!!! Thank you 🥰”


“Once again, Allie has done an incredible job watching our pups. She took such good care of our dogs and our home while we were out of the country for 10 days. She's the absolute best sitter and is so communicative and thoughtful. And most importantly, our dogs love her! Allie went above and beyond, and we will absolutely reach out to her again. This was our second time having Allie watch the pups, and it won’t be the last!”

“Michelle stayed at our house for two nights to watch our dogs and was absolutely fantastic. She kept us up-to-date with pictures and videos and followed our instructions perfectly. Would recommend Michelle to anyone!”

“Emily house-sit our dog Amber for 4 days. I cannot recommend her enough and cannot wait to work with her again. First of all, she was able to stop by earlier in the day than I initially set the sitting for, and let Amber out midday and come back later to start the actual sitting. I hugely appreciated this since I made a mistake in the reservation start time. She was great with photo and text updates. From all the photos I could tell how happy Amber was. Her food and medication schedule was kept the same and she had lots of fun with Emily. And I have to say that the house was left immaculate. She went the extra mile to unload the dishwasher that I accidentally left in full, and took out all the trash. None of which were her responsibility but she truly went above and beyond and we appreciated all of it. We cannot wait to have her take care of Amber agan.”

“It felt so good going away and leaving our dog and cat and house in janette’s care. We booked her super last minute for Thanksgiving week and she came and did a meet and greet next day and was very sweet with our pets and sent pictures and updates. Highly recommend and will definitely connect with her again for care.”

“Eleni was great and super responsive. She was able to accommodate a last-minute request, and was great with our two large pups and their differing needs. She was communicative throughout and they were in high spirits when we returned!”


About: Hi I am Nora- a reliable student who loves spending time with animals of all sizes and personalities! I grew up in town with a Golden Retriever and a Bengal cat, but since their passings I have been occasionally watching other’s dogs! Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to take care of their furry loved ones (mostly large dogs) while going away for a weekend or a longer vacation. I am young, ambitious, and thoughtful, but new to this platform! I am currently working part time as a cashier while completing my online masters program at UMass. My flexible spring/summer schedule M-F can accommodate your needs, while also making time for myself and my education. I am available for drop ins, walks, or house sitting and can accept last minute bookings if convenient. Only available until September! I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I always prioritize safety and communication with each client and I expect the same from you. I will be sure to keep you updated and send pics/vids to let you know your pet is being taken care of! Looking forward to establishing a connection with you and your pet, while also making them feel comfortable. Open to short or weekly commitments during the summer based off your needs.

We had to go out of town - leaving our 5 pets one of whom was a new adoptee with some trust issues and one of whom needed some medication and tlc. Sherri came over to meet us all and I was quickly assured that the pets would all be in great hands with her. I was able to enjoy my trip without worrying about our cats and dogs. The animals all warmed up to her quickly and she sent me lots of photos and reached out with any questions. We came home to happy pets and a well cared for house. I highly recommend her!
It was our first time having an inhouse pet sitter and Brien was wonderful. He was willing to meet with us a couple of weeks before hand which reassured us about having a stranger in our house. When a last minute health issue threw our plans up in the air, he was very empathetic and willing to work with us. We did get away as planned and Brien sent us a daily update and photos. Our dog is 15 years old, so a health issue can always develop unexpectedly, but Brien was confident he could hand anything that comes along. Highly recommend.
