About: I have grown up around all kinds of animals, most notably my two dogs (15 + 16 years old) who have taught me how to take care of animals. I have also taken care of cats and family/friends dogs. I have a background in healthcare which can help me care for animals with medical conditions. I love all animals and will make sure all animals i take care of will be given plenty of love and care. Currently I am finishing up my spring semester, but i will be free during the summer most day, except for when i go to work (maximum 4 hours a day). After finals my week days will be pretty open and flexible. Dogs are welcome in my home because my three roommates and i all have dogs at home and are able to take care of the dogs when one of us is unable. the dog will be taken on walks and be surrounded by love and attention. The dogs will be fed per their schedule and be active during the day accompanying me on my daily activities.

Huge thanks to Julie would definitely love to have her watch willow again!”

About: I’ve been a cat person my whole life—I grew up with three cats and have been caring for family and friends’ cats since I was about 8 years old. I currently have two young, active cats of my own, so I’m very used to keeping up with playful energy as well as giving plenty of attention and care. I have experience with cats of all ages, including administering medication to senior cats. Whether your cat is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and right at home.
“Jenna is an excellent sitter! I feel confident knowing Sam is in good hands with her. She’s communicative, friendly, and really tries to get him to be active (even when he only wants pets 🤣). Highly recommend!”
“Sarah is the sweetest, most compassionate, most professional pet sitter I have ever had. She always goes above and beyond for my cat even though she is quite shy and is not always the easiest customer. I would hire her every single time I go away if I could. She is so fantastic.”
“Madeleine is wonderful! I was so nervous to use a new cat sitter after moving, but she was exactly what I was seeking. I am so grateful, she took great care of my cat for a few weekends. She’s prompt, responsive, and gave me awesome updates :)”
“Alexa was an amazing sitter and so easy to work with! She was always on time and provided great updates and lots of pics of my cat. Would definitely recommend her!”
“Nick was great and provided us with lots of updates & pics! Had a delay on a littler shipment and he picked some up for us which was much appreciated!! Will use again.”
“Julie was fantastic! She was communicative and sent pictures and updates at every visit. Most importantly, she took amazing care of our sweet girl ? Julie understood that our cat is shy and would be nervous, and was so patient with her and gave her space. And our cat warmed up to her! I couldn't have asked for a better sitter, I wasn't worried about our girl at all this weekend.”
“This was our second time booking with Gabi and just like last time, she took such great care of our girls! She was so mindful about making them as comfortable as possible that when one of my cats was feeling a bit shy, Gabi gave her a treat to reintroduce herself. Love the thoughtful and carefulness that Gabi has when checking in on my cats. Will be my go-to sitter from now on!!”
“Kira was absolutely amazing! I was going away for a week, and I was worried about leaving my kitten alone, as he needs medication. She was great at giving him his doses, and also updating me on him and my other two cats. I was reassured with her watching after them, and she updated me regularly! I'd love to book with her again!”
“Elise took excellent care of our two cats. One of them is afraid of almost everyone and warmed up to her in just 3 visits - he doesn’t do that to just anyone! We got great updates and photos throughout. Thank you so much!!”
“Sarah was fantastic! She took great care of my cat and was super reliable. I loved her updates and she left really detailed notes, which gave me peace of mind. Would absolutely boom again!”
“Kathryn did an amazing job taking care of my cats. She followed all my instructions carefully and was incredibly thoughtful throughout the entire stay. She stayed in touch regularly and kept me updated on everything, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. Very responsible and clearly cares about the pets. I would definitely consider her again the next time I need a sitter!”
“Robbie was great to have as a sitter for our two cats! She’s friendly to talk to and the cats were big fans of her. She is very communicative and accommodating. Her check-ins were timely and she always sent many pictures. Will definitely book her again!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience with cats and my attention to detail. I’ve cared for cats of all ages—from energetic kittens to senior cats needing medication and extra TLC. I’m comfortable administering oral medications and sticking to specific feeding or care routines. I take pride in keeping litter boxes clean and tidy because I know how important a fresh, sanitary space is for a cat’s comfort. Most importantly, I respect each cat’s unique personality and pace—whether they’re shy, playful, or a little bit of both.
“Marisa cared for our cats recently and we had a great experience with her. She played with them and cuddled with our most affectionate cat who loves attention. We highly recommend her!”
“Veronica was a wonderful sitter for my cat! Very communicative and respectful, and flexible when unexpected things came up! Would recommend 100% and would definitely book again!”
“Mary Kate was prompt with her arrival and I really felt that my cat was well taken care of during her visits. The pictures she provided were great. I would rebook with her again.”
“This was Thomas’s second time dropping in on our precious Peanut, and he truly saved us on short notice. He was super communicative, flexible, and made everything feel easy. We could tell Peanut was happy to see him again! Highly recommend Thomas—he’s wonderful.”

“Emma was a lifesaver! We needed to book hour of and Emma responded right away. We were not aware our Airbnb did not permit pets to stay unsupervised, we were only in Boston for the day and needed to find daycare in a hurry. Emma was responsive, kind and took great care of our dog. Super appreciative and highly recommend if in the area:)”
“Tiffany and Steve were awesome! They were incredibly communicative and patient with us as we navigated getting our first dog and starting daycare for the first time. Their attention to detail and care for each pup they watch is so nice to see, our Bear is usually quite shy but warmed up to them so quickly! We look forward to working with them again. :)”
“Jacqueline was great. She watched our dog while we went to a show in town and even though it was only a few hours she sent us photos and took him outside twice! She definitely made him feel comfortable enough to quiet down and snuggle. Would recommend her if you need a dog sitter in the Boston area!”
“Cora was friendly, responsible, and did an awesome job taking care of my dog. She sent me very cute pictures of him throughout the day, and he had a great time :) Thanks Cora!”
About: Hi, I’m Kelsey! I grew up in a house full of pets (plus a rotating cast of foster animals), so I’ve seen it all- energetic puppies, sweet seniors, and pups needing a little extra patience. I previously thought I’d pursue veterinary medicine so I’ve spent many many hours volunteering at shelters and clinics, and even though I ended up pursuing a career in biotech I’ve never been able to shake that love for animals. Since full-time pet ownership isn’t possible for me right now, I get my “dog fix” by giving other people’s pets all the belly rubs, walks, and care they deserve. During the week, I have the option to work from home a few days, so I can be flexible if your pup needs someone there throughout the day. For long-term boarding, I can’t promise to work from home forever, but we can make a plan together on how to best care for your animal. On weekends, I’m very available! I live in an animal-free home, so your pup will have all the attention to themselves. While I don’t have a backyard, I’m just a short walk from public parks and outdoor spaces where your dog can get some fresh air, and even pal around with other dogs at the dog park!
“Joanna and Matthew were great! They were willing to take the time to have a video chat before me ever booking anything so we could get to know each other, and so they could learn about Luka's needs. They sent me a couple of pics thoughtout the day when I booked daycare, and Luka came home a happy and tired pup! Thank you for everything, Joanna and Matthew!”
“My pup has done daycare with Jason three times now and she runs up to his front door excited each time. Jason shares photos and videos each day and maps of their walks and bathroom breaks. He’s a great communicator and it’s so comforting to leave my (big) dog with him when I’m at work knowing she’s fully taken care of. Can’t recommend him enough!”
“Jhona was a great host - kind, responsive and patient with noodle, my 2-year old Maltese. Noodle is anxious, and takes time to open up and adjust but Jhona was able to handle him without any issues. Regular updates and pictures were shared with me, and I highly recommend Jhona to anyone in need of a sitter :)”
“Michelle toot great care of my boy Roy. She kindly shared photos and frequent updates. Can’t believe how quickly Roy settled in and appeared to be at home! He will definitely be spending more time over at Michelle’s.”
“Hudson had a great time with Jamie! This was his first time staying with a babysitter so I was a little nervous about how he’d do (and nervous to leave him 😂), but Jamie was great and Hudson seemed happy and calm both days when I picked him up. Would definitely recommend!”

“Zoe was awesome. One of my pups can be anxious. She was patient and supportive and even gave them an extra long walk! Thanks Zoe-hope you’ll do it again!”
“Kira was amazing! She helped me out on very short notice, and I couldn’t be more grateful. It was a hot day, and she made sure Bebe was comfortable and okay before leaving my house. I highly recommend her, and I’ll definitely be reaching out again whenever I need someone to walk Bebe! 🐾”
“Thomas is very caring and courteous. He clearly knows what he’s doing and goes the extra mile to work around any obstacles that come up to be sure my little guy is well taken care of. Great at making sure there are no communication gaps.”
About: I have a dog and a cat and I have never met an animal I didn't get along with! I raised my dog from being a puppy and watched him grow into my senior boy! I also have experience living with and caring for a variety of dogs, all the way down to a tiny 6 pound dachshund. I also have plenty of cat experience and have cared for and lived with many of those as well :) I emphasise patience and respect. I typically work from 4-late so I will have plenty of time to spend with your furry friend mid-day for a walk or home visit. For in home visits I will respect and adhere to any rules or specifications you lay out for your pet. For walks I will adhere to any specific route you would like us to take or area of the city you would like us to stay in.
“Michaela is super reliable, and I really appreciated how effortless the whole process was from day one. I simply sent over the instructions, and she handled everything seamlessly from there. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing my dog was in such good hands!”
“Sasha was extremely responsible and responsive, despite us reaching out on short notice! We really appreciated her updates from the walk. Would recommend her to anyone!”
“Owen has been great! I can tell our pup looks forward to seeing him. He provides feedback on the walk and even helps reinforce the training habits we’ve been working on implementing with our dog. It’s fun to see the photo updates from the walk he provides. 5 stars.”
“Alicia did a great job doing lunch time walks for a week on short notice. She was communicative, on time, and handled our rescue pup’s needs and tricky walking style extremely well! Would definitely hire again, and enthusiastically recommend.”
“Nancy was great with my Setter Georgie! Many people say they'll treat your pup like he/she was theirs. Nancy truly does that! She is quick to respond, on time and my Setter loves his walks with her.”
“Ana Beatriz is wonderful and I highly recommend her. My dog instantly loved her and she does a great job at motivating him on walks (sometimes he's a bit lazy). She also communicates very well and provides great updates.”
“Emily did a great job walking our dog Baxter. She responds quickly and shows up on time and he was a tired boy afterwards. We will absolutely book with her again.”
“Mary is so wonderful! I felt so at ease knowing she was walking my pup. She was communicative, caring, and Koda had the best time with her. She is AMAZING and we are so lucky to have her to rely on.”
“Rachel was a huge help when I was out of town for the weekend, walking and feeding my girl who has some behavioral issues. She was communicative, kind, and most of all - great with my pup! Thanks for everything and will definitely book again!”

About: I grew up with dogs and have been taking care of them since childhood. I love spending time with dogs. I frequently dog-sit for my friends and walk their dogs. I have experience taking care dogs across their lifespan. I love taking walks around my neighborhood and always welcome a furry companion. I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule. I am available during the day and in the evenings. I am available at all times over the weekend! I live in an apartment and go on frequent walks. I am very adaptable and can do whatever is necessary to meet your dog’s needs!

“Ann took wonderful care of Daisy for over a week. From the start, she was warm, kind, and very easy to communicate with. Ann and Jim created a great environment for Daisy, and we always felt she was in good hands. Ann made sure Daisy got plenty of time outside, including long walks and lots of opportunities to explore. It was clear that she genuinely cared about making sure Daisy was happy and comfortable. I would absolutely recommend Ann to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable sitter.”
