“Eric is super reliable. He shows up on time and he is very gentle with my anxious dog, Boo. She takes time to become comfortable with new people, and she is off to a good start with Eric.”


“Julia was very great with our pets! She was available to watch them on short notice and took very good care of them. She was especially good with our dog who can be anxious with new people, would definitely recommend her services to others!”


“Nikki was amazing!! She kept us updated with photos and vids of our dog all weekend. This was our first time leaving her home since her puppy buddy passed away but we had nothing to worry about with Nikki. I could tell she loved our girl like we did. And I love another Bulldog fanatic!! Would give her 10 stars if I could!!”


“Julie-Anne was great with our mini labradoodle! She took good care of him over the weekend and he was his happy and usual self when we got back. They got lots of walks in, she texted frequent updates and photos, and he had a great time. We're already looking forward to them staying together again!”


“Cam did a great job caring for my 2 dogs. This was the second time Cam had taken care of them while I was out of town for a week each. I recommend Cam to watch your animals as Cam is certainly an animal lover! Thanks, Cam for your help.”


“Traci did an AMAZING job with our elderly girl. She left the house neat and our girl was happy. My family feels much more comfortable going away knowing Traci will be there to watch our girl.”


“Clara was amazing with our two dogs. She took great care of them and sent lots of cute pictures during the stay. One can be very anxious in kennels so we were thrilled to have Clara in our house, and both dogs loved her. She even watered our plants - she takes great care with the location and the pets. I would highly recommend her and we would happily welcome her back!”


“Jamie did a great job sitting for our dog for a week. She was very responsible about checking in daily and sending pictures. She also took great care of the house and made sure that we were informed of anything that was going on. We will definitely use her again.”


“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.”



“Ellen did a great job taking care of our 3 1/2 year old Labrador and our house. She was flexible on arrival and departure times, and maintained great communication with us while we were away. She clearly loves dogs and our dog clearly loved her. Highly recommend her.”


“Hannah was available last minute for an overnight stay when our original plans changed. She was able to squeeze in a meet and greet beforehand and put a lot of effort into helping our anxious dog feel comfortable. She sent updates throughout the stay and left our home clean and just how we left it. We would definitely use Hannah’s walking and pet-sitting services again!”


“Elizabeth took wonderful care of our dog, Oscar overnight. She went above and beyond our expectations. Oscar was happy, calm and comfortable after her care. Our house was neat, actually a bit neater than when we left it. I highly recommend her.”


“Megan did an awesome job taking care of our cat and dog for the weekend. She was a great communicator with us and home and pets looked perfect when we came home! Will love to use her again in the future.”


“Jackie house sat for us for a week and our dog couldn’t be happier. Having her there gave us tremendous peace of mind and really let us enjoy our vacation. Would highly recommend!”


“We couldn’t be more grateful for Rachel’s care and dedication while watching our senior dog, Kaia, during our weekend trip. What truly stood out was her flexibility and commitment to ensuring Kaia was well taken care of, no matter the circumstances. Originally, we planned to return Sunday night, but a strong winter storm changed our plans. When we reached out to Rachel last-minute to ask if she could stay an extra night, she didn’t hesitate to help. With road conditions still dangerous Monday morning, we ended up extending our stay another night, knowing Kaia was in great hands. Despite the storm hitting Acton hard and making walks difficult, Rachel made sure Kaia could get outside safely and kept our home well cared for. Her reliability and willingness to adapt to unexpected challenges gave us peace of mind throughout the trip. We highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a responsible, caring, and dependable dog sitter!”


About: Adopting Benny, our now 6-year-old Australian Shepherd mix, has been one of the most meaningful and rewarding experiences of our lives. He came to us as a rescue, full of potential but also in need of patience, consistency, and care. Australian Shepherds are known for their intelligence, energy, and sensitivity—and Benny is no exception. From daily walks and mental stimulation to routine training and lots of affection, caring for him has been a constant, joyful commitment. He thrives on structure and attention, and it’s been incredibly rewarding to watch him grow more confident and connected as the years go by. Benny has taught us so much about resilience, communication, and the powerful bond that forms between a pet and their family. He’s not just a pet—he’s truly part of our family. Pet care is a daily routine for me. I'm the one who feeds, brushes, spends time with Benny and walks him on a daily basis. I provide nothing but the best for Benny. He gets toppers on his food, supplements, daily attention and walks. I'am trustworthy, reliable and will treat your animals as if they were my own.

“Jessica stayed with our dog over the July 4th weekend. She was great. She followed our directions, asked good questions, and was an excellent communicator throughout the stay. Our dog has anxiety, and Jessica was outstanding in managing him. We would hire her again in an instant.”



“Elana filled in last-minute for our regular sitter. She was very responsive and flexible. Penny and the house were well taken care of and Elana did a great job keeping us updated! She sent us a lot of photos and Penny seemed to have a great time! I would definitely use her again.”
