“Karissa is the best. Trusted her with my kitties and my home and she went above and beyond. Asked lots of questions. Was diligent and came twice a day. Felt very comfortable reaching out to her, and her pictures were great.”

“This is our second time booking Yvette. She was punctual, patient with my shy cats, and thorough with daily tasks. Our experience was great and we will continue to use Yvette!”

“Megan was a great sitter. She took wonderful care of my cat. 🐈 she was always there when she was supposed to be and always sent plenty of pictures and videos. I could tell my cat was happy and being loved. 🥰 I will definitely be using Megan as my go to person and I will definitely recommend her.”

“Mike was communicative, adherent to our schedule, and followed all instructions requested of him. He also sent a ton of pictures, which I really appreciated. It was refreshing to just be able to enjoy my trip knowing that my dog was taken care of. I would absolutely recommend him to others (just not during the times I’m away 😉)”

About: I have always felt a special bond with all kinds of animals and have been trusted to take care of my friends and family's loved ones since 2017. I have experience with dogs, reptiles and birds. I am currently available any day of the week so your loved ones will have all the attention they want or need. Also available on short notice and emergencies. I will keep your loved one company in the safety and comfort of your own home. No need to stress about them being in a new environment.
“We have used Adriane on a previous occasion and we're so pleased with the excellent care Jesse got that we felt super comfortable leaving Jesse in her care for an extended time. Adrienne sends pictures and videos every day and it is obvious that Jesse adores Adriane. Highly recommended!”

“Jessica was a great sitter! She dropped in on Pepper twice while I was away for a day and fed her and cuddled with her and provided exceptional care, following my directions well and sending pictures of Pepper enjoying her food and cuddles. I really appreciate it, thank you!”

About: I have had a dog for ten years and I am very familiar with dog body language and signals. I have taken care of dogs in Egypt and fed strays. I am a college student from Monday to-Thurs, so I have all the time on the weekend for pet care. During the weekdays I am free almost always after 4pm, except for thursdays. I can crate dogs if needed. For walks I will keep them on leash away from other dogs, unless given permission from you and other dog owner.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for family, neighbors and friends for 16+ years. Always knew they were special. I’m the happiest around my furry friends. Started when i was about 10 years young when my neighbor would ask me to walk her puppy, buddy but would give specific instructions such as how far i could walk him which was just around the corner and back home. Since then I’ve been dog-sitting here and there. Now, working remotely I’ve decided it’s time to get started again. I work remote, I’m always home. My little bear and i go on a morning walks everyday at 11/1130. And in the evening. Sometimes if it’s a rainy day i drive him over by petsmart where it’s an enclosed area. Have breaks in between calls where we can enjoy playtime. I’m very careful when it comes to dropping food on the floor if i do it gets picked up within seconds my little guy is always ready to vacuum the floor, i’m always cautious. I don’t leave food out in the open. Always provide fresh water. Bottled water that is unless they prefer tap. Make sure they get the exercise they need. I love having little training sessions. It’s good for their little brains. Will follow feeding instructions. Will spend time with the dog. Give them space as well by allowing them to sniff around before anything. Being aware of their needs.

About: I have 11 year old 6 pound Maltese girl that had a separation anxiety. So i completely understand how nerve breaking it could be to leave your fur babies at home unattended. I have gone fully remote for my work so i can stay home with my fur baby! I thought i'd offer my help to the fellow fur parents whose pets may also be suffering from separation anxiety. Mimi loves to sleep throughout the day so she'd love a cuddle buddy! Mimi has 4 potty breaks throughout the day. In the morning, at 12pm and another around 5pm and before sleep. If your puppy needs more frequent potty breaks I can certainly accomodate! I will do minimum or 2 walks (@12pm and 5pm) and my house shares a fence with county park! Leash is strictly enforced, so please bring me your leash! I have more than 8 dog beds throughout the house. Basically each room has a dog bed as Mimi follows me around everywhere. Your fur baby's welcome to use the dog beds or couch! It's wooden floor throughout and we have a bell on the patio door so if your fur baby wants to go potty, he/she can simply ring the bell!
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for over 10 years, and I truly see them as family. I currently work as a Pet Care Specialist at an animal daycare, where I care for pets daily by supervising playtime, ensuring safety, feeding, monitoring behavior, and giving lots of love and attention. I’m comfortable working with dogs of all sizes and personalities, including shy or energetic pups. I love spending time playing with them, taking them outside, giving cuddles, and making sure they always feel safe and happy. Pets bring me emotional strength, comfort, and joy, and I’m grateful for every moment I get to care for them. I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets throughout the week. I’m available seven days a week and can usually accommodate walks, drop-ins, and sitting as needed. I’m also happy to travel within about 40 miles, and I’m often in the Worcester or Acton area. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel calm, loved, and secure at all times. I carefully follow feeding schedules, walking routines, and any special instructions you provide. I also pay close attention to behavior and body language so I can respond to their needs right away. Whether we’re playing, walking, or relaxing, your pet will always be safe, supervised, and well-cared for with me.

About: I've been dog walking, sitting, boarding for over 10 years now! I had my German Shepherd Rony for 10 years and my life changed the day we brought him home. Because of him I have a super active lifestyle. I live to go on walks, hikes, runs, and love to explore new places and go on adventures! I've taken care of puppies that need basic training all the way to senior dogs that need extra care. From the smallest pups all the way to giants - I adore them all!! I am working from home, so your pet will always get endless love, belly rubs, walks, and anything and everything else they love! Having had my German shepherd that I trusted only a handful of people to take care of him, I understand the level of trust a pet owner must have for their pet sitter / walker, and I know I can be that temporary companion for them! :) hope to meet your pup soon!! I'm currently working from home so I am very flexible on walks, daily care, and pup sitting! I do request for dog sitting to get an early heads up as we love adventuring during the weekend. But if pet owner is ok with it, I would love to bring your pup along for the adventures!! :) I have a big fenced yard for plenty running and playing fetch, but I never leave your pup unattended! If needed, and your pup is crate trained I have different sized playpens and crates. I understand it takes every pup a different amount of time to get used to a new environment and I work with every pup individually. Just like humans, everyone has their own personality :)

“Kellie is great. We were nervous to leave our anxious yorkiepoo for the weekend, but Kellie was very understanding and patient with her. She provided a handful of photos each drop-in visit and very thorough summaries. She was also flexible with us requesting additional visits only a few days in advance. We would absolutely book Kellie again!!!”

“Ana took great care of my two cats, taking the time to love on them and play with them even though I told her those were optional for the relatively short time she was visiting them.”
