About: Lifelong pet owner. Current vet student (CPR and Fear Free certified, trained in all routes of medication administration). I started petsitting when I was 10, and have held animal care positions for the last 10 years. I'm currently on summer break from vet school, so I am available full-time for pet sitting. I can do drop-ins or overnights and currently have no other commitments. I am very detail-oriented so I will be sure to follow any instructions provided for me! Having an initial walkthrough visit is ideal for me to meet your pet, talk through care details, and see your care area's layout. I am a big snuggler and will update as often as you'd like!
“Ann did a great job taking care of my dog and house while we were away for 7 days! The house is cleaner than we left it, she gave daily updates and kept my pup fed, walked and happy.”
“Sammy did a wonderful job caring for our pets: Zeiss, Freya, Reggie and the chickens! She was excellent about communicating daily by reaching out with questions or concerns, and providing a daily summary of how things went. In addition, she left a final day's report to let us know if we were running low on any supplies. I found Sammy to be respectful, communicative, responsible and she left the house neat and clean. The ONLY room for improvement would be if Freya was walked on her leash; - she is a puller and strong willed though, so I understand why! Sammy was wonderfully patient with Freya and her escapades of escaping our yard, and we worked together to find the right solution for keeping her safe and getting outdoor time. I can tell our cat loved the attention he got and I think he misses Sammy!”
“Eko and Sarah were great! They responded right away to my request and during their house-sitting they communicated any questions clearly. Got lots of pictures of our pup from their walks and overnight. It brought us such peace of mind that such lovely and attentive people were caring for our dog while we were away! Will definitely book with them again!”
“Caitlin was awesome! She was very detail oriented and provided great updates throughout the day with pictures. We would highly recommend her!”
“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.”
“Paulina is one of the best dog sitters we have had the pleasure to work with. We received lots of updates and pictures which we love when we are away from our dog. In addition Paulina takes great care of the house and leaves everything just as we left it. We will definitely request her to sit our pup again and would recommend to anyone to work with Paulina.”
“Dana was great with my two Rotties. I will definitely be using her again in the future and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.”
“Logan pet sat for our cat Bella for a week while we away. Bella is a senior with special needs. Logan came by to meet with Bella a few times before we went away. Logan then stayed at our home caring for Bella while attending college classes. We called every few days so Bella could hear our voice. Having Logan with Bella allowed us to be away knowing she was being well cared for and not alone for long periods of time. We will be in touch with Logan again to sit for Bella.”
“Danielle was amazing! Our pets didn’t want us to come home! We have a doggy who needs extra attention and Danielle was so good with her. She gave amazing updates along the trip. Highly recommend!”
“Jared was great, attentive and communicated well. Was glad to have someone caring for my dog while he was in cone head mode and had to stay behind on Thanksgiving! Would definitely re-book”
“Edith took such good, thoughtful care of our older, deaf cat. He got his medicine, his treats, and his cuddles. We will 💯% contact Edith the next time we need a house and cat sitter. She's the best!”
“James & Reichel did a fantastic job with our furbaby, Oscar. They were always responsive and prompt, and we would definitely hire them again!”
“Clara did a phenomenal job caring for our dog! She sent lots of updates and photos. She went over more than asked. Our dog was very happy! We will definitely use Clara again in the future!”
“Erin is amazing!!! Book her now! She took such good care of my dog Peter and provided daily updates and photos. When she came to meet us prior to her stay, Peter fell in love right away. My mind was completely at ease with her here. I am so happy I found her and you will be too.”
About: I've had dogs my entire life and I have taken care of dogs and pets since I was 10. I walked dogs full time during high school. Friends and neighbors have trusted me and continue to ask me to walk/sit their pets. I am available to walk weekdays and weekends. I am a full time student at WPI, however, my schedule is fairly flexible so I can generally work around your dogs' needs. My schedule does change every 7 weeks as WPI is a quarter-based school and I go home to New York during most breaks (major holidays, fall break in October, winter break from December to January, and spring break in March). I house sit, but I do not stay overnight. I have pet sit for dogs of all ages and all sizes, ranging from chihuahuas to mastiffs. I make sure your pets get all of my attention and feel loved when in your home alone while you aren't able to do so yourself.
“Nhi was amazing as always. Lots of fun pics of our kitties having a great time, and the house looks just like we left it! It's so nice being able to go out of town and have peace of mind about everything!”
About: I have lifelong experience caring for pets, having raised two dogs from two months old and growing up with three cats. Now, I have a senior miniature schnauzer, so I understand the unique needs of pets at every life stage. I provide patient, loving care for puppies, seniors, and dogs of all temperaments. Whether your pet needs exercise, companionship, or a cozy home while you’re away, I ensure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I currently have an open schedule, allowing me plenty of time to care for and play with your furry family member. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure they get the attention and love they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Whether in my home or yours, I provide a clean, pet-friendly environment where they feel secure and loved. I follow any special instructions, maintain a consistent routine, and ensure plenty of supervision, playtime, and care. With patience and attention to detail, I create a stress-free experience so both pets and owners can feel at ease.
“I was very pleased with Asia’s time with Quincy. I was kind of nervous since he can get anxious when not around his family, but she sent me tons of pictures and updates throughout the 3 days and night. I never felt like I was wondering how he was. I would definitely recommend her and will keep in mind for future needs.”
“Corinne took care of our silver lab for almost a week and was very flexible with the time, and also the change to our reservation after the recent loss of our other dog. Corinne took great care of Leia and left our house the same way we found it, would totally recommend Corinne to anyone.”

Emma K.Star Sitter
“I’ve known Emma since we were both in 7th grade, and I can’t think of anyone better suited to take care of pets. Not only does she take great care of her own fur babies (ensuring they stick to routines, giving them medications, etc.), but she brings this same level of care to other people’s pets as well. I’ve been able to see first-hand just how attentive and caring she is, and even how far she’ll go to ensure a pet’s safety and comfort. I know anyone would be lucky to have Emma pet sit for their babies.”

He loves going out for her and listens for her car door to close before running to the door to greet her. Gracie M makes sure he follows the same leash etiquette I ask of him. I highly recommend Grace M. Your dog will love her.”

Cara was great when watching Pepper. She showed up early so we could give her all the instructions for Pepper. She communicated often to let us know how Pepper was doing and sent regular updates. We'll definitely request Cara's services again in the future.
We had booked for overnight sitting to care for our cats, Tofu and Miso, while we were away, and we are very happy with the experience. During the meet and greet they took detailed notes, and asked questions I hadn’t thought of. While we were gone, we received daily updates and photos like we asked. They were very patient with Tofu as she takes more time to warm up to other people. When we got back, everything was in perfect order and our cats were in good spirits. We would absolutely book with them again!
Clara did a phenomenal job caring for our dog! She sent lots of updates and photos. She went over more than asked. Our dog was very happy! We will definitely use Clara again in the future!
James was fantastic even before the sitting began. Was extremely communicative about my guys' needs and what I needed. He sent pics and vids throughout the day of thwir various activities, and my pets felt extremely comfortable around him. Was immediately responsive whenever I texted him to check in. Will absolutely be hiring again next time I need to.
Reichel was great! Offered to come over before the actual booked weekend so she could meet my dog and get a better idea of her care. She followed up with me throughout the weekend and sent pics of my dog. I felt comfortable knowing she was in good hands. I will reach out to Reichel in the future!
Cassie was great. She communicated often and well. She went above and beyond and made sure my fur babies were rarely alone. She administered insulin shots and oral steroids professionally.
Edith took such good, thoughtful care of our older, deaf cat. He got his medicine, his treats, and his cuddles. We will 💯% contact Edith the next time we need a house and cat sitter. She's the best!
Sam took care of our kitty for 2 weeks and helped us feel at ease while we were gone! She sent us updates, left the apartment clean, and we came back to a very happy cat. She was also very flexible with multiple changes in schedule.
Amy was great with our 3 pups and 1 cat. We don’t have an easy sitting situation, between pups sleeping and eating in separate rooms but Amy was more than willing to accommodate. Our pups are on a raw diet so we typically portion their food and freeze it so our sitter doesn’t have to deal with the raw food, however we weren’t able to ahead of time and Amy had no problem getting messy and portioning out our dog food for them. Highly recommend Amy and her services !!
Rylee was awesome! She spent the weekend with my VERY crazy puppy and took great care of him. She kept me updated all weekend and sent lots of pictures! I cannot express how thankful I am that we found her and I would have her back any time!
Very good care provided for my pets and Asia was well equipped to handle their needs. There were some minor delays in communication and tardiness due to unforeseen circumstances. Overall very satisfied and would use Asia as a sitter again.
Kenzie was super flexible for our weekend away - adjusting to our schedule so we didn't have to rush back and keeping me updated after I mentioned my anxiety about leaving my pets with a sitter for the first time. She was great for my high-anxiety dog - being very understanding about his behaviors and messaging me to find a solution when she ran into an issue. Happy to have gotten pics showing how comfortable my babies were and coming home to them being well takem care of.
