Rachel did a fabulous job taking care of our dog while we were at my daughter's graduation. We didn't have to worry about a thing while we were gone. Thanks, Rachel!

Eric cares or our pups like they are his own. Our younger one can be skittish with new people but took to him right away. And Eric cheerfully puts up with our old fellow's senility and the challenges yhat brings. We feel very fortunate to have found him!

Holly is great! She’s so kind, caring, and understanding. I had the opportunity to puppy sit for Milton. Milton is wild and crazy and she was nothing but calm and amazing energy. Holly will definitely be my go-to sitter/ walker. Thank you, Holly!

This was our first time leaving Ellie, our family dog, overnight since we adopted her about 10 months ago. Tristan was truly incredible with her--totally understood her from the start, adored her, and gave her all the love and walks she could want (and more). Ellie can be reactive towards other dogs while on leash but it truly is all bark. Tristan had no trouble navigating neighborhood walks, rewarding her good behavior, and gently refocusing her to him when needed. She zoomed so hard with him in the backyard it was like our 8 year old coonhound became a puppy again! Could not recommend a dog sitter more.

About: Hi! I’m Linh - your pet’s favorite aunt. I know how stressful it can feel leaving your pets behind, so my goal is simple: keep their routine consistent, keep them happy, and give you peace of mind while you’re away. I’ve grown up around both dogs and cats and have always loved caring for animals. As a cat owner myself, I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy, patient, and attentive caring for your pets. I also volunteered at an animal shelter when I was younger, which helped me become comfortable with animals of all ages, personalities, and temperaments. You can expect plenty of updates, photos, and communication throughout your booking because I know you’re trusting me with family, not just a pet. I offer flexible weekday and weekend availability for dog walks and drop-in visits and currently service the MetroWest area, including Framingham, Wayland, Natick, and nearby towns. Pet parents looking for weekly walks are always welcome as consistent schedules really help pets feel comfortable and at ease. For housesitting, availability may be more limited depending on the pet’s schedule and care needs. I’m best suited for pets that can be left alone for a few hours at a time. If a date appears unavailable on my calendar, feel free to reach out anyway, as I may still be able to accommodate depending on the time and location. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow owner instructions closely, maintain consistent routines, and adjust activities based on weather, age, health, and energy level. During hot weather, walks may be shortened when needed to prevent overheating, with the remaining time spent on indoor play.

Salina is the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. She takes the best care of our elderly dog and quickly built a close bond with our shy girl. Salina is quick to respond and send photo updates often. We couldn’t be happier with her services. Look no further then Salina when considering a dog walker/sitter.

Paulina R. was great! My partner and I have never left our cats alone with someone who wasn't family before, and while we were very nervous about doing this for the first time, we needn't have worried with Paulina taking care of our babies. She made sure our 3 cats had meals on time, fresh water, got to play, and received lots of cuddles. She even somehow managed to make our really shy and anxious boy, Chompirras, feel safe enough to come out (he literally never comes out of hiding when strangers are at the house) and actually eat (he often goes on hunger strike for a day or two when we're not at home). Next time we're out of town, we'll be booking with Paulina :)

I wish I could give more than 5 stars! Robert went above and beyond in every way. He took our dog on multiple walks a day, sent pictures and updates, and kept in great communication the entire time. He’s incredibly easy to work with and clearly cares about animals. Our dog had the best time with him—and to top it off, Robert left our home even cleaner than when we left!

About: I’ve grown up with animals my entire life. I worked my first job as a dog groomer and daycare manager for anxious and hard to train dogs. I’m certified in animal CPR and first aid and have experience giving all types of medication. You can trust that I’ll care for your furry friend just as well as you do! I currently work part time in the mornings, so I have all afternoon to spend with your pets! I have less flexibility on weekends, but will try my best to make times work with enough advance notice. I am a respectful guest of the environment I’m in and make sure to give every animal exactly what they need, as well. You can trust that I will take good care of your pet and your space!

About: I grew up surrounded by 3 dogs all throughout my childhood. I have experience with cats and dogs of all ages as well as rabbits. I have experience in elderly dog care as I had taken care of my elderly dog, helping him stand and ensuring medications were given on time. I have two adoring kittens who I’ve raised from 4weeks old, i’ve had cats all while growing up. I can do deep litter box cleanings if asked. I strive to not only meet your needs and make you happy but also ensure your pet is happy and feels loved under my care. I work early mornings and get out at 2pm at the latest, meaning I have the majority of the day to be able to walk, play, and spend time with your pet(s). We can soak up the sunshine and they’ll always get dinner on time. I love to play with your pets, ensuring they get their energy out and have a good time. I love to go on walks with your dog or play with them in a yard.

Jackie takes excellent care of our sweet needy dogs and sends multiple updates per day when we travel. They are used to being with people since my husband works from a home office. I’m so glad to have found her!

Sam has been a reliable dog sitter for us for about 2 years now. He seems very caring to our dogs and they are happy and healthy when we get home. He’s been very understanding as we always seem to have some random, unplanned big thing happening at the house when he’s here (like a roof replacement that stranded him inside the house and an unscheduled mulch drop that we didn’t even know about). He leaves the house spotless too.

Michelle is wonderful. Our dog was happy and well cared for, in our home, while we were away. It was reassuring to receive all of the photos and check-ins to know things were good. We will absolutely ask her to watch Clementine again.

I am a CEO with high standards. I can not say enough good things about Carlos. I met him because my 15 year old Cav is on his last road and I travel a lot. Carlos was meticulous about prep and our dog's issues, meds, needs, situation, etc. He took detailed notes of our conversations and came over to meet in person before either of us committed. I just returned from Asia. Carlos texted every day I was away - with photos!! He is extraordinarily skilled at vet medicine because of his job. The dog's issues were fewer when I returned -and - Carlos had weaned him down on his meds as well. It was amazing. In addition, Carlos truly loves my dog. When I got home he had left a portrait of my dog he had taken and framed - a gift to me. Lucky to have found him!

Kelly is one of those very special people with a real passion for dogs! What a treat for our toy poodle to get to hang with her for the holiday weekend. We were totally comfortable traveling out of state knowing she was in charge. We look forward to engaging Kelly again for future travel plans. She is awesome.
