Highly-rated overnight sitters - Somerville
“Meaghan and Johnny took great care of our english bulldog and he looked so happy in the pictures they sent. They were also flexible with us on our drop off/pick up times due to us traveling.”
“I cannot express how great Donna is and how grateful we are with her for taking such good care of our fur baby. She made sure Chuchu had his medication when he had to, and she treated him as part of his family. Thanks Donna! See you next time!”
“I cannot express my gratitude for Kelly, adequately!! I would absolutely book with her and her family a million times over! She was very accommodating and patient from start to finish! My family and I were away for 6 days, and unfortunately, KoKo started exhibiting signs of illness on day 2 into day 3! Kelly alerted me immediately but had already made calls and received pet Med advice and comforted me as well as informed me of diagnosis! She never pressured me to return and even prepared special meals for my KoKo to ease his discomfort!!!! Turns out that he had a horrible case of separation anxiety that was literally making him sick. But Kelly and her family acted quickly and within 36 hours, helped KoKo settle and return to his normal playful healthy state! I told Kelly and I will tell the world… she’s not just a sitter… she’s a BLESSING for people that love their fur babies and want the best home away from home for them! Kelly and Brian (and precious little ones…), THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!🙏🏽”
“Brett is an amazing dog sitter! He has always taken great care of our dog when we are away. Brett goes above and beyond taking our dog on walks and sending pictures, and he is very undestanding. Highly recommend!”
“We had a great experience with Melanie! Max was taken well care of for the two nights he stayed with her! She took care of all his needs and treated him just like her own! She was good about texting me through out his stay to tell me how he was doing and also sent lots of pictures! He seemed happy and loved while we were gone! We look forward to using her again soon!!”
“Amber was a great dog sitter. She sent pictures and updates of Wrigley everyday and he came home happy and smelling fresh. I know he had a great time with Amber and loved playing with her dogs. I will definitely use her again in the future.”
“My Achilles has become a repeat client. We love the care and attention Dalis shows him while in her care. The picture updates of him playing and having fun gives me such relief to know he is in great hands.”
“Once again, Deborah was fantastic taking care of my fur-baby. She’s very attentive, caring, and flexible. She sends several updates during the stay and is quick to respond. Highly recommend! 5⭐️”
“I was very nervous on leaving my dog with a sitter but Kira was sooo kind and patiently explain all the things cap would do and sent me photos of him. 10/10 will book again”
“Kelsey and her family provided safe and loving home for my two cats during my travel. She sent frequent updates with pictures. Her kids are wonderful with animals. One of the pictures shows Kelsey's little daughter gently petting and kissing my cat. It is so beautiful that I'm going to frame it.”
“Hailie has boarded our dog Cooper several times and has been very attentive and personable to work with. It's more like a close friend watching our dog rather than "boarding" him. He gets excited to go to her house and she has been flexible and understanding with unpredictable booking conflicts. We will continue to call on Hailie for our Cooper's "babysitting" needs😁”
“James & Emily were great with our Honey Jo! They sent us pictures, had great communication, and walked Honey during her stay with them. We were traveling by plane so our trip timing was up in the air, but James & Emily were flexible with our drop off & pick up times. Would love to use them again!”
“I highly recommend Mollie! She was absolutely phenomenal with Hazel and regularly provided updates and photos. Knowing my dog was in such good hands gave me so much peace of mind while I was on vacation. She will be perfect for any of your pup’s needs!”
“I highly recommend Sean and Dianna! I left 2 dogs with them for 7 days. I was updated daily with pictures and videos. I was confident leaving my pups with them for the entire week. I will be referring everyone looking for dog sitting to them 😊”
“Brittany is fantastic! She kept both of our pups. One has really bad anxiety and warmed right up. Brittany also sent pictures and videos while we were gone. We are so thankful we found her, because we know our fur babies are very well taken care of in her hands.”
“Juyne and her family took such great care of our fur babies. Our fur babies were happy to stay with there. They received lots of love and attention. We definitely will use her in the future! I highly recommend you book with Juyne. Thanks again for taking such great care of our babies.”

“Meagan is amazing. Our fur-babies felt loved and comfortable with her staying at our home and enjoyed the comforting cuddles and playtime. So much that the cats wanted more of our attention to play cause they were in such a happy and playful mood when we returned! I highly recommend and am grateful Meagan could care for our kitties.”

About: Since I was a child, I've been raising and taking care of animals of all shapes and sizes. I've nursed plenty of bottle babies- kittens, puppies and even rodents and farm animals. I've worked at the Chattanooga Zoo and volunteered at shelters across the country, so there's nothing you can throw at me that I haven't seen before! I currently work full-time 5 days a week, 8-10 hour shifts, so I have to schedule around that. The rest of my day will be dedicated to your pet(s)!

“Meaghan and her family did such a great job with Kylo! He had the best day playing with the kids and their pets. It was so good to know he was having a blast and being taken care of while we were gone for a long day at the ball field!”
“Shume is the BEST. My girl Lulu took to her almost right away. Also, we had a change to her care plan on the fly, and was able to work with our schedule change! Would definitely send Lulu there again!”
“Juyne was so kind and loving to my puppy. It was my first time trying someone watching my puppy in their home so I was nervous.

About: I have owned and cared for dogs since I was a young child. Dogs are a joy and I love having them around. Each and every dog I’ve cared for gets plenty of attention within my household. Special care requests will be accommodated as much as possible. I am retired and a stay at home dad. This allows me to be home with your fur baby throughout the day and night. Your pup will have constant and consistent supervision throughout the day. If I need to leave the house for any reason, all dogs will be put in their safe place. I have a fenced yard and three small friendly dogs. I can crate your pup if requested or easily separate any dogs when needed. I do have plenty of dog toys for your pup to enjoy. During feeding time, all dogs are separated and watched closely.

“Erin is truly amazing! When we moved here we didn’t have any family or friends in the area and were worried about where to leave our dogs when travelled somewhere that we couldn’t bring them. That fear quickly went away after Buddy and Lila stayed with her the first time. They absolutely adore her family and it gave us peace of mind to know they were taken care of with the same level of love as when they’re at home. She quickly became the only person we felt comfortable leaving our two babies with and we’re sad that we’re moving away, Buddy and Lila would get so excited to go to her place. We highly recommend Erin to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter!”
About: I have 3 years of experience caring for my own Border Collie, so I’m very comfortable with active, energetic dogs and understand the importance of regular exercise, attention, and playtime. I also regularly care for a friend’s dog when their family travels to Korea, sometimes for about two months at a time. During these extended stays, I provide daily feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of love and attention. I personally provide all pet care for my Rover bookings and will be the sole caregiver for the pets in my care. I treat every dog like part of the family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care is already part of my daily routine because I have my own Border Collie. I’m used to planning my day around feeding, walks, playtime, and exercise. My schedule is flexible, so I can give your dog plenty of attention and make sure they get the care and activity they need throughout the day. I have a spacious, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and get plenty of exercise. My home also has a friendly Border Collie who is comfortable being around other dogs. Three children live in the home—one in high school, one in middle school, and one in 5th grade—and they are used to being around dogs and love animals. I understand that every dog has a different personality and routine, so I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully. I personally make sure each dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, potty breaks, fresh water, and a safe and comfortable place to relax. I’ll treat your dog like family while they’re staying in my home.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my background in healthcare and my natural attention to detail. As a nursing student and soon-to-be hospital worker, I’m very experienced in providing attentive, compassionate care — which easily carries over to how I care for pets. I’m patient, reliable, and comfortable following detailed care instructions, including administering medications if needed. I also have experience with both young, energetic pets and senior pets who may need a little extra gentleness and support. I genuinely love building a bond with every animal I care for, treating them like family while keeping their safety, happiness, and well-being my top priority. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I am a nursing student who will be starting a hospital job on May 12, working from 3 PM to 11:30 PM. Until then, I have open availability to care for pets. Even after I begin work, I’ll be available during mornings, early afternoons, and late nights for check-ins, walks, and pet sitting. I start classes on May 27, but I only have one in-person class from 12–1 PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays, leaving plenty of time to dedicate to caring for pets. I’m responsible, nurturing, and attentive—qualities that come naturally from my healthcare background—and I will treat your pets like they are my own. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make sure to follow any specific instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walk times, medication administration, and any special routines or preferences. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior to make sure they are happy, comfortable, and safe. I also love giving pets plenty of playtime, affection, and exercise based on their energy level. Cleanliness and safety are important to me, so I always make sure their space stays clean, and I update owners regularly with messages and photos for peace of mind. With my nursing background, I’m very detail-oriented and comfortable providing extra care if needed.
About: I’m an animal person through and through. I’ve been around dogs since I was a little boy at the age of 5. I’ve taken care of family, neighbor, and even stray pets/animals and take pride in my ability to get on the good side of any creature. Firm believer that there is no such thing in a bad dog, only misunderstood ones. I have one dog (the handsome black lab), but sometimes have my mother in law’s two dogs over. They’re all well behaved and sociable. I work from home and typically have a lot of spare time in my day to take care of pets. I make sure to take my dog to the park everyday and see to it that he gets proper exercise and will be sure to make sure your dogs get the same. I don’t go anywhere most weekends so I’m available for boarding and anything else more or less all the time. I live in a 4 bedroom house with a big yard and sunroom so plenty of space for play. I have several parks located within ten minutes of me and walking trails nearby too so your pup will never be bored.
“Ashley was the best sitter imaginable for our GSD puppy. She sent tons of photos and most importantly, she knew exactly how to care for our pup. GSD’s are special, and Ashley was well-versed of his natural tendencies especially prey drive and protection. We are so grateful for the wonderful time for our sweet pup and she gave us total peace of mind knowing he was in very capable hands. Will re-book with Ashley next time we come to Huntsville!”

About: I am a CMA, and have worked in 4 vets offices over the years. I can give medication (oral, topicals or shots). I have been a groomer for 9ish years (traveling to homes and in grooming shops). I also come packing a huge heart ready to love whatever babies you have. I have cared for them all and really to care for yours!💜 I recently had surgery in March but have been cleared for work. I am a mobile groomer for myself so my schedule is very flexible. Working with vets/in hospitals, I have learned the best way to keep your animals safe and happy is to stay in their own home. Cars and new environments can cause a lot of stress or anxiety. Drop in visits and house sitting keeps your pet in a safe and comfortable place without the exposure to others or their pets.

About: Enthusiastic dog and cat lover. Exotic pets welcome! Perfectly capable of handling any cleanup necessary. No experience with "extremely" disabled pets but I'd love to gain some!

Milo orange male, George orange male, Cashew orange male, Prim tabby female. Olive black lab, Sabrina chocolate lab. I'm able and eager to care for big & small animals of all breeds.

I'm unemployed at the moment (8/6/26) so I've endless time for pet play and care! I somewhat frequently have to administer medication to my older pets for various reasons. If your pet needs that I can provide with proper teaching from you, just to make sure I don't make a mistake. I cannot currently care for your pets at my home, not with 6 of my own. However I can play with, exercise with, feed, water, walk, and give lots of love to your fur baby.

“Oh sweet Annalyse! I’m so grateful that she was so prompt in all of her communication with me as we worked out the best timing for her to walk Wylie. She was kind natured and accommodating and gave Wylie a great walk around our neighborhood. I’m excited to have found a backup plan when my schedule is to busy.”
About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals pretty much since I could walk. My family has had chickens, quail, pigs, horses, goats, guinea pigs, and of course dogs and cats! I’ve also worked as a ranch hand at a goat farm for 2+ years. Currently the only doggie I can call my own is my sweet Nala. She is a mini schnauzer who loves people and is quick to play with other pups. I currently work part time and attend college on Mondays and Wednesdays. So I can almost always sit or board Thursday-Saturday. I love walking and jogging so I’m always up for that. I’m currently in the midst of moving into an apartment with my best friend who also owns a friendly collie named Josie. And I have my sweet Nala. I will be able to board in the future but it will probably not be till September-October.
About: I have always had pets growing up and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from owning my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. My husband works nights and I work days so there is always someone home to make sure your fur baby is taken care of and loved on! Our residence features ample space in the garage, and a spacious fenced-in backyard. As pet owners ourselves, with two golden doodles and a cat, we understand the stress associated with leaving them behind. Consequently, we would provide a nurturing environment, treating boarded pets like our own, with generous playtime outside of their kennels and the attention and affection they are accustomed to receiving at home. ❤️

I currently own a spoiled pomeranian and 2 very needy cockatiels so I REALLY understand that every pet has their own routine, and I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, give fresh water, take dogs on walks, play with them, administer basic medications if needed, and make sure they get plenty of love and attention. I’ll care for your pet like they’re my own and always keep you updated so you can have peace of mind while you’re away!! Pet care fits naturally into my routine! I’m currently a barista at Dutch Bros, so my work schedule changes from week to week. Because of that, I keep my availability updated and communicate clearly with pet parents to make sure I can give every pet the time and attention they deserve.

“Once again, Deborah was fantastic taking care of my fur-baby. She’s very attentive, caring, and flexible. She sends several updates during the stay and is quick to respond. Highly recommend! 5⭐️”
“I was very nervous on leaving my dog with a sitter but Kira was sooo kind and patiently explain all the things cap would do and sent me photos of him. 10/10 will book again”
“Kelsey and her family provided safe and loving home for my two cats during my travel. She sent frequent updates with pictures. Her kids are wonderful with animals. One of the pictures shows Kelsey's little daughter gently petting and kissing my cat. It is so beautiful that I'm going to frame it.”
“Hailie has boarded our dog Cooper several times and has been very attentive and personable to work with. It's more like a close friend watching our dog rather than "boarding" him. He gets excited to go to her house and she has been flexible and understanding with unpredictable booking conflicts. We will continue to call on Hailie for our Cooper's "babysitting" needs😁”
“James & Emily were great with our Honey Jo! They sent us pictures, had great communication, and walked Honey during her stay with them. We were traveling by plane so our trip timing was up in the air, but James & Emily were flexible with our drop off & pick up times. Would love to use them again!”
“I highly recommend Sean and Dianna! I left 2 dogs with them for 7 days. I was updated daily with pictures and videos. I was confident leaving my pups with them for the entire week. I will be referring everyone looking for dog sitting to them 😊”
“Haley was so accommodating to our dog. She sent frequent updates with pictures and videos. It was our dogs first time getting boarded so I was a little nervous , but my anxiety went away with Haley.”
“Aram kept my dog for a full day and overnight stay, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! She took such great care of my boy and kept me updated throughout his stay with photos, videos, and frequent messages. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was happy and well taken care of. Aram has a beautiful home with a huge backyard that my dog absolutely loved. He clearly had an amazing time! If you’re looking for a dog sitter, Aram is the best there is! You will not be disappointed. She is officially my go-to dog sitter from now on! Thank you so much, Aram, for taking such wonderful care of my boy! ❤️🐾”
“Erin really saved our bacon this time. We had a death in the family and needed to go out of town over a weekend in three days. Erin was able to take not one but both of our dogs on very short notice. We felt very relieved. As usual Erin provided photos and updates throughout the stay. Her communication is nothing short of excellent. When we picked the dogs up they were happy to see us but I am sure they would have been happy staying longer. Erin us our go to care giver for our pups which is especially important given that we can now spend more time traveling. We have complete confidence in Erin providing a safe and fun environment for our two pugs.”
“Highly recommended! I received updates with pictures and videos during my dog’s stay which made me feel at ease while I was away. This is a very pet friendly environment and I’d recommend to anyone as a great place to board your pet while you’re away!”
About: I’m an animal person through and through. I’ve been around dogs since I was a little boy at the age of 5. I’ve taken care of family, neighbor, and even stray pets/animals and take pride in my ability to get on the good side of any creature. Firm believer that there is no such thing in a bad dog, only misunderstood ones. I have one dog (the handsome black lab), but sometimes have my mother in law’s two dogs over. They’re all well behaved and sociable. I work from home and typically have a lot of spare time in my day to take care of pets. I make sure to take my dog to the park everyday and see to it that he gets proper exercise and will be sure to make sure your dogs get the same. I don’t go anywhere most weekends so I’m available for boarding and anything else more or less all the time. I live in a 4 bedroom house with a big yard and sunroom so plenty of space for play. I have several parks located within ten minutes of me and walking trails nearby too so your pup will never be bored.
“Becky has kept our dog in her home several times over the last few years and she is always wonderful with her. She always checks in, is great with communication, and works with our schedule for drop off and pickup. It is a relief to feel like we don’t have to worry when we take a trip- we know our dog is safe, happy, and well taken care of!”
