“I couldn’t be more grateful for the amazing care our Tasha provided for my two dogs, Miss Tucker and Dobby. From the start, communication was excellent, and I received daily photos and updates that showed how comfortable and happy they were. Miss Tucker and Dobby are full of energy, but Tasha was able to match their personalities and energy perfectly. They even took them on regular walks, which they absolutely love! It meant so much knowing they were getting exercise, attention, and lots of love while I was away. Coming home to two calm, happy pups said everything. It’s never easy leaving your dogs, but I had complete peace of mind knowing they were in such caring hands. I will definitely be booking again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!”

About: I’m reliable, communicative, and great with dogs of all temperaments. I’ll learn their quirks, respect their routine, and yes, probably talk to them like they’re tiny, furry humans. I will make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and entertained—expect plenty of playtime, patience, and the occasional “who’s a good dog?” conversation. I’m a stay-at-home Dad with a friendly standard poodle who loves meeting new friends, and we stay active with three walks a day plus plenty of playtime and attention. I focus on safety, consistency, and trust by maintaining a clean, pet-friendly space and closely monitoring all interactions. I follow feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any specific care instructions you provide. In my home, dogs enjoy regular walks, playtime, and a secure environment alongside my well-socialized poodle. I aim to keep your pet’s routine as normal, fun and stress-free as possible.
“Amber was amazing! Made my dog feel more comfortable being babysat than he has by anyone else & I've tried a lot of people. My doodle has separation anxiety pretty severely, & with Amber & her doodle Jasper, he wasn't anxious at all & ate really well while he was at their house (which wasn't expected). Definitely would recommend.”
“Concetta is great, she very nice and sweet with my pup. I book a last minute care with her and she accommodate us. She adjusted her schedule to care for my pup. She very reliable, I will definitely be booking her again in the future. Thank you!”
“My family and I were visiting from out of state and wanted to go to the zoo so we needed last minute doggy daycare. DeHanna was so responsive when messaging. She was kind and understanding with my girls needs. When I picked my girl she showed no signs of stress and was super happy. I would book with her again! Highly recommend and thank you!”
About: 🐾 About Me Hi there! I’m Kayla, a lifelong animal lover with a big heart for animals. From energetic puppies to mellow seniors, I’ve cared for pets of all personalities and needs — and I treat every one of them like my own. I know how important it is to feel confident that your pets are happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feedings, medication, or just a little extra TLC, I tailor my care to each pet’s unique routine and personality. You can count on me for: ✨ Reliable, on-time visits 🐶 Lots of love, attention & play 🐾 Updates with photos and messages 🐕 Experience with dogs, cats, and small animals Your pets deserve more than just basic care — they deserve comfort, companionship, and someone who genuinely enjoys being with them. That’s exactly what I provide. Let’s make sure your best friend gets the care (and cuddles) they deserve while you’re away! 💛 I currently work from home during the week and part time at a spa on the weekends. I have tons of free time and flexibility with my schedule. I have a full chain link fenced yard with doggy door access to the house. I also have the space to be able to accommodate crates if necessary.
About: I grew up on a ranch and raised baby animals which gave me lots of experience with raising animals of all ages. I'm currently home schooling my 4 year old so my schedule is pretty flexible! I'm homeschooling my 4 year old son so my schedule is pretty flexible and I'll have plenty of extra time to take care of your pets while you're away I have a large backyard that is fenced. I have 2 dogs to keep your pup company or I can keep them separated if needed. I can also aid in crate training
“Lilly Had such a great time with Michael & Wendy and family! They have a very loving home and will always treat your sweet pup like their own. They are also very knowledgeable about dogs and you can have peace of mind knowing yours is in their hands. We definitely can't wait to come see you guys again in the future. Many thanks to you !”
About: I've had dogs all of my life and have spent the past 6 years volunteering in animal welfare as well as fostering and pet sitting. I have a true passion for animals, specifically dogs and have cared for senior dogs, medical rehabilitation cases, and those with medical needs. I work a full-time job from home and am able to care for the right pets in my home or come to your home or vacation rental to care for your pet(s). I love all animals and know how difficult it can be to leave your fur kids behind when traveling or a long day away from home. I am passionate about offering a "just like home" environment for your dog(s) so you can take comfort knowing that they are safe and loved. It is my intention to establish relationships with my clients and their fur kids to take the stress out of finding pet care. I live in a townhome and am able to care for your small dog(s) in my home. I have two small, very friendly pups who get regular walks throughout the day. Over night boarding in my home will require that your dog(s) are able to sleep in a crate as well as stay in a crate if I need to leave the house. This is for the safety of your pets and mine. At your home, I am cautious to ensure the safety and security of your pet especially when on a leash outside of the home.
“My puppy Zapp had a great time at her house! He had a nice yard to play in, and was welcomed in the home to hang out on the couches and play with her kids. I am so relieved to know he was treated like one of the family! Another person I tried booking with was planning on just kenneling him for hours- which to me sounds awful and I could just do on my own if I really wanted to. I 100% recommend Annabel and will be happy to leave Zapp in her home again when needed!”
About: I grew up with dogs and have always been around them! My dad does rover and I have helped him take them on walks, and fed them. I have a pretty flexible schedule and I am home most days with the occasional errand run. I love to workout as well so walking or running with the dogs would be great! I will give the pups plenty of attention and care that they need. I will also be flexible with the owners needs for their pet.
“Very easy to work with and she did everything to make our little one comfortable being at the sitters the first time. Truly wish she was in our area (we were traveling for this event) because we would absolutely use her again.”
“My dog truly knows every day when I walk downstairs and grab the leash exactly where she’s going and it’s her favorite place in the whole entire world. She gets all of her energy out with all of our little fur friends and patients at Doggy Day Care can make any bad day good thank you Sam & Geena, you guys are truly the best”
“Amber did a wonderful job taking care of Millie. Millie was fixed less than a week ago and needed a low stimulus day, which Amber provided. Very happy with Amber, and didn’t have to worry when I was away!”

“I was so worried about transitioning from Daycare to leaving my pup home all day and having Laramie has been so great. She made it super easy to set up the visits and always sends a photo or two so I know how he is doing during the day. She’s gives him his treat before he goes so he has something to do to keep him busy for a little longer which helps me feel better about the day alone. He’s been doing great with the transition and seems happy being home which is great!”
“Elise is a wonderful person. She did a great job with Rocky. She is very punctual and responsible. I love that she kept me up-to-date and sent pictures throughout! Would definitely recommend her! Thank you Elise!”
“Our dog,Buster, loved Jolynne! She was very patient with him when he wasn’t sure about going out in the rain. Today he was waiting at the door for her even though I home ! I will definitely use her again!”
“Hatcher did a great job with my Alfie! He walked him around the neighborhood while I was at work, and he sent me several pictures of him, which really made my day! He was highly communicative throughout the whole process, which I really appreciated.”
“Thank you, Tatum for coming over with little notice to take our two Goldens for a quick walk, even in this warmer weather. Just to get out of the house for a bit, makes a big difference! We appreciate your thoughtful care. 🥰”
“So far good communication, and the dogs liked her. (Dog initial opinion is real - I believe in it). Punctual and arrived on the agreed upon time - not flakey. Elise will be repeat for us.”
“Rachel is so awesome! She is reliable, communicative, and best of all she loves my dog! I don’t have to worry at all going to work every day because I know my pup is in good hands :)”
About: I have always loved playing with and taking care of animals of all shapes and sizes since I was a young girl. It has been a dream of mine to become a veterinarian since before I can remember and kickstarting my career with taking care or your fur babies would be a great experience! I am currently working as a dog bather and need another source of income to support my life while also doing what I love. Overnight dog/cat and house sitting will fit into my schedule nicely. I will not be able to care for your pets between 10am-7pm roughly. I will make sure your dog or cat is safely inside, fed and watered (medications if necessary), and thoroughly exercised with walks and playtime. If your pup has anxiety, I will gladly give all the cuddles and hugs to keep them happy.
About: I believe a house isn't a home without a dog! I grew up around dogs of all breeds and temperaments, and lovingly cared for my own best dog friend Hobbes for 11 years. I'm ready to be a stand-in best friend for your canine companions whenever work, travel, or life keep you too busy to dote on them. I'm reliable, trustworthy, and a great communicator. Looking forward to meeting your furry friends! I work part-time as a healthcare professional. I often have multi-day stretches of time off, and am happy to take time out of my day to give your pets the love and attention they need. I'm flexible, reliable, and adaptable. My goal is to keep your pet's routine and environment as familiar and comfortable as possible. I'm happy to stick to the schedule your pet knows and provide plenty of snuggles in between.
About: My first job was a dog walker and then kennel attendant at an animal hospital. I learned to administer medicine and have always loved dogs. I am currently an engineering student at BSU, I am not working full-time. I will be able to keep your dogs well taken care of. I will stay overnight if needed and provide walks as desired. Your dog’s routine will be upheld and maintained. They will get to stay in the comfort of their own home. I send pictures as often as I would want them when away from my dog…as often as possible (: I like things to be tidy, so your home will look the same as it did when you left, if not better. I have a friendly dog who loves to join me if and when it is possible and make new puppy friends.
About: I have over a decade of animal care experience from working as a pet sitter, dog trainer at Petco and Karma Dog Training, and also a Vet tech at Saugus Animal Hospital. Dogs especially are my passion and I will take care of your fur babies like my own :) I am flexible as I only work part time in the evenings and am usually free anytime in the day between 9 am and 4 pm. I am also available weekends and holidays! I have a secure, fenced yard equipped with Ring cameras. I have extra crates as well if needed, and plenty of cozy dog beds, furniture.
About: I’ve taken care of my own dog for 9 years. I have also pet sat for friends and family for about 8 years which has included walking, bathing, house sitting, and general care. Typically I am free whenever you need me! I usually do 1-2 drop in’s per day if my clients are out of town, but I can always do more if requested! I do not have my own place at the moment so I am not able to board pets but I will be respectful of clients homes and am willing to do whatever it is that you need!
