“She’s great and my pups loved her.”
“Joiee recent sitter for my 2 year old German Shepherd. The word AMAZING isn’t enough to describe her. Before the actual dates, she took time to come to my house to meet my dog then while I was gone, she kept me updated on their activities and sent me some great pictures of the 2 of them together. After I got home, he was actually crying (which he only does when my daughter leaves the house) and I am pretty sure he missed his new friend. If you are looking for a sitter for your dog, I recommend Joiee to the absolute highest degree. Not only did my dog find a new friend but I will 100% be booking with her in the future. Thank you Joiee for treating my dog like he was your own.”
“Cam did a great job with my anxious 3 year old pup! I’ve never seen my dog be so comfortable and at ease with a new person during a first meeting as he was with Cam. That made me feel at ease with my travel plans. Also Cam left my home nice and clean after dog sitting here for several days. I will be a return customer!”
“Julie-Ann was so great with our dogs, so communicative with us, and so thoughtful that it's hard to express our gratitude. Both dogs are rescues and they obviously fell in love with Julie-Ann. We came home to two relaxed and happy pups. The house was well cared for and we are very very happy customers.”
“Wonderful caretaker! Went above and beyond.”
“When we met prior to the booking our two dogs took to her immediately. Jen stayed with them for a week. She sent photos and videos which we truly appreciated as we knew our girls were given the best attention while we were away. This was our first time away and leaving the dogs with a stranger. Turns out Jen was more like a family member. We would definitely contact Jen again for any future sitting needs. Thanks Jen. We and the girls loved your time with them. Lou and Nancy.”
“Jill did a great job She had to fill in at the last minute do to an illness of our original sitter She had to meet and greet on her own The house was left in great shape and she did a great job taking care of our dog I would highly recommend her”
About: I was raised on a farm where we took care of dogs, cattle, goats and chicken. I grew up always in contact with animals, specially with my dogs that we rescued from the local shelter in Argentina. We rescued more than 8 dogs throughout my life on the farm and we still take care of them as one more on the family. I currently have a reactive catahoula pittie mix that has made incredible progress with her reactivity to other dogs with training. I love all dogs big and small and can handle anxiety reactivity or anything else they might throw at me! Im currently working part time but my schedule is very flexible, so I can accommodate my hours to walk your critter or dog at anytime. I currently do not take dogs into my own home because of my dog but am happy to walk your critter or dog sit in the comfort of their own home!
“Jaqueline is always amazing with our pups. Between the elderly dog, the one with IBS and a house that seemingly always has something go wrong, Jacqueline navigates every situation with grace and understanding.”
“Tricia was fantastic! Took such good care of our dogs and house and was so responsive to messages and sent some many cute photos while we were away.”
“Safe to say Sam and our dog become close friends really quick. My dog is very energetic and can be a lot sometimes so we definitely needed someone with the same energy level who can handle her. He was with Zoey for 2 weeks in the meantime housesitting and I cant say anything bad. He was sending us update almosy everyday, pictures attached and I couldnt be happier with the friendship they had. Everything was in order when we got back, Zoey was well fed, happy pup. Apartment was just the way we left. We appreciate your work Sam.”
“This is the second time Dalal house sat for us and we are always happy when she is available. Our cat really likes her and we know our home is in good hands.”
About: I have had cats for about 12 years and just fell in love with them. One of my cats currently has kidney disease and I make her own food for her and carefully watch her. Both my cats are elderly now and cared for them since I rescued them as kittens. I have also owned dogs and taken care of them as well since they were puppies til they were elderly. I am just an animal lover all around. I find animals truly a gift to humans! I own two businesses and make my own schedule, so my schedule is flexible. I am able to work from home and stop in the morning, afternoon and evening and also weekends. Or whenever you need me to be honest. I have an extra room that I have made into a cat room with toys and obstacle courses and tons of stuff to do for the cat with litter box, food and water, I live alone but two cats do live here but would not enter the room. I can also go to clients homes and stay with the pet and play with them or stay over. I am respectful, quiet and fun.
About: I've raised & trained 4 dogs and have taken care of neighbors pets along with my adult children's dogs. You have to live it and experience it in order to receive the rewards, handle the challenges & overall personalities of different breeds to be a successful care giver. My young adult children call me the Dog Whisperer. I'm retired in great shape and constantly do 2-3 mile hikes with dogs and they receive my undivided attention. Looking to bring some happiness and comfort to dogs, while allowing their owners the freedom & peace of mind knowing they have the best care possible. I've rescued several dogs in distress that weren't in my care, but came upon situations where the dog was in trouble and the owner didn't know how to respond. I'm retired and don't travel often. My wife is an RN in the local school district and we really only do occasional trips through out New England. She also works the school summer programs, so I have a lot of free time and open to all hours of the day and night. Prefer to take care of pets at owners home, but can make an occasional exception. I spend a lot of time at different parks like Hopkinton State, Veterans Freedom in Westboro, and other natural conservation sites.
“Julia was fantastic!! Came out to meet us beforehand, she was great with our dog and very professional. Kept in touch with us throughout the weekend and took wonderful care of our dog. She left the house immaculate too! I would recommend her to all of my dog friends.”
“As always, Emily did an amazing job watching our house and our pets while we were away. We always have peace of mind knowing that our fur babies are in such good hands!”
“Olivia went above and beyond taking care of our two dogs and the house! She communicates clearly, made me feel comfortable that our fur babies were being taken care of, and left the house even cleaner that how she received it.”
“Stella was great talking care of our 11 week old puppy. She was friendly, communicated effectively, and was interested in understanding our dogs routine. Seeing Stella interact with our pup really showed her care and happiness around dogs. We'll definitely consider Stella in the future.”
“Amazing dog sitter. She communicated well, took great care of our puppies and shared lots of nice photos. Daisy has been looking around for her all day. I would highly recommend her.”
About: What sets me apart is my reliability, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals. I treat every pet like my own- making sure they're not just safe, but also happy, and well cared for. I follow instructions closely and communicate clearly with pet owners. Pet care is an important part of my daily and waekly routine. I currently care for my own dog, Boston Terrier, who is 15. Her name is Lola. I make sure she is fed, walked and taken care of. Since she's a senior dog, I make sure I stay alert to her health and behavior. I make sure my dog has a clean, safe space, fresh food, and water, regular exercise as she permits, and lots of hugs and kisses. I make sure they are comfortable and well-monitored throughout the day.

“German was amazing with my dog reactive pittie! He just gets it! He was so organized and responsive and did so well introducing himself to my dog and managing my dog’s behavior. It’s very clear he has been around animals his entire life! I have recommended him to friends to watch and walk their dogs as well. I don’t have the easiest dog and I was so impressed how easily the 2 got along!”

He is always constantly playing with her and making sure she is well taken care of. There is no one I would trust more than Mike to take care of my dog and it is so nice to not have to worry about her when I can’t be around. I would HIGHLY recommend Mike if you are looking for someone to help out with your pet, you will definitely not have to worry about your dog when he is around!”

“Jen has been absolutely amazing with our dog! From the very first walk, it was clear they truly care about animals and take the time to build a real connection. She's always punctual, communicative, and give thoughtful updates after each walk—which we really appreciate. Our dog comes home happy, well-exercised, and relaxed. We've noticed a positive change in behavior since starting regular walks. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and kind dog walker!”

Dalal did an excellent job taking care of Luna. Communication was very easy and Dalal sent us a few update videos while we were away.
Kel is wonderful! Our sweet dog Bernie is always so happy and well cared for when we are away. Kel has stayed in our home twice while we have been away and we always return to a happy boy and a well cared for home. We highly recommend Kel for all your pet needs!
Carlos was an awesome house / pet sitter! He took great care of the cats- he sent pictures and videos from each visit, administered medication twice a day, brought in the mail, and even did some light cleaning around the litter boxes. I will definitely be booking him again soon!
As always, Emily did an amazing job watching our house and our pets while we were away. We always have peace of mind knowing that our fur babies are in such good hands!
Kelly was amazing!! She left us with a full record of everything like dogs bathroom use and quality. She sent tons of video and pics. We felt so comfortable with her taking care of our dogs. I swear my house was cleaner when I got home...too sweet. I would definitely recommend her. My Ruby has a hard time with new people. We figured out that it's all about the confidence of the sitter. Something Kelly totally has. That alone set us at ease. Couldn't ask for a better sitter. She clearly loves pets!!
Madison has watched my boys more than once and she has been outstanding every time. I have a cocker spaniel and a great Dane and she's amazing with both and they love when she visits. 👍🏻 Thank you again!
Jessica did a great job watching my pup over the weekend and was very attentive to letting him out when needed, and sending lots of updates.
Julius stayed with my big dog and cat for a couple of nights and took such good care of them! He was also very communicative with me which I so appreciated. It means so much to have a peace of mind while we are away, and I felt that with Julius.
Shana was wonderful with our doggo and checked in regularly with updates and questions! We'd absolutely hire her again.
Goji loved Serena from the second he met her! Serena was amazing with Goji’s energy, demands for snuggles and walk requests. She followed all instructions and added lots of extra pets! She was communicating the right amount, and took care of my home and my dog as her own! Would 1000% recommend her, and I will personally be requesting her again soon!
