We have two cats that receive medication and Jordan seemed very comfortable and confident in caring for them. We'd definitely recommend Jordan and would use her services again!”
“Stephanie did daily drop in visit for a week for our cat, Fish. She gave him daily pill at certain time every day, cleaned his water bowls, and checked on his litter box. She also shared many photos and videos, which we appreciated. She was friendly and gentle with him and he was very happy to have her around. We could not be happier with her care. We will be booking her again when we go out of town. Thank you!”

“Meagan was a FANTASTIC sitter. She took meticulous notes of all the instructions and went above and beyond to make sure our kitties felt safe and loved. She was an amazing communicator and sent lots of pictures. We have two shy kitties so sometimes it's hit or miss with sitters, but Maegan took the time to make sure they felt comfortable, gave them lots of treats, and ended up winning both of them over.”
“Thank you Winita for watching Taro and Mochi. They had fun with you and they were able to get their treats!

I would love for her to look after Taro and Mochi again on my next vacation! Thank you again!”

About: I’ve spent my entire life around cats, so I’m well-versed in "feline" as a second language. From growing up with cats to being the designated sitter for friends and roommates throughout college, I understand that every cat has a unique personality. Whether they are social butterflies or shy hiders. What I offer for your cat: - Reliable Drop-Ins: I provide 30 or 60-minute visits focused on feeding, fresh water, and a spotless litter box. - Play & Enrichment: I don’t just "fill the bowl." I make sure to engage your cat with their favorite toys or provide quiet companionship, depending on their mood. - Medication & Special Needs: I am comfortable following specific instructions for feeding schedules or health requirements. - Home Security: Since I’m local to Allston (02134), I am extremely punctual. I can also help with small tasks like bringing in the mail or watering plants while you're away. Fully Mobile & Flexible: I am available for visits in Allston, Brighton, Brookline, and Cambridge. Since I manage my own schedule, I’m often available for last-minute bookings or holiday weekend coverage. I treat every cat with the patience and care they deserve. Reach out for a quick meet-and-greet!
“Julia was great with my cat Toto! She was always on time and sent photos for each visit. She’s very responsive, reliable and sweet. I look forward to booking her again!”

“Adelle was amazing! So great with the cats, left great messages and took photos every day, and had no issues administering medicine to my temperamental cat! Would 100% book again”
“We were lucky to have Alana check in on our cat Claire for about a week when we were away. Alana was very communicative especially when she noticed that Claire was breathing slightly more heavily and coughing more than usual. She was also able to take a great video for us to show the vet in the next visit. Based on the pictures, Claire also seemed to really enjoy her company! I would love to have her watch Claire again next time.”
“Sydney took excellent care of the three cats that live with me and my home. She sent pictures of happy kitties. Her communication is excellent, from the first request until the last day of her stay. I returned to a clean and tidy home and well-cared for cats.”
“Aimee did a wonderful job of taking care of my cats. She kept me updated on some health concerns for my senior kitties and took lots of pictures. She even got my grumpy cat to play, which he never does with me.”

“Banapsha is amazing! She made an immediate connection with Peanut who has some separation anxiety and has been through a lot of recent medical issues. She gave me frequent updates, pictures and asked questions when she was unsure what I would prefer in terms of her care. I hope to hire Banapsha again when she is available!”
“Adrienne provided greay doggy daycare for my two pomeranians while I had a business trip in the area. My little dogs were happy and tired upon pickup. They had fun in her yard and on their walk. Adrienne took great care of them. She obviously loves dogs.”
“Bentley has stayed with Eddy in Doggy Day Care a couple of times and will be using him again without a doubt! He is our 1st puppy so we get nervous, but Eddy and his team communicate enough that we felt comfortable. Eddy and his team are great! You won't be disappointed if you give him a chance!!”
“A truly 5 star experience. Cameron was easy to communicate with and work with. Just off vibe alone I knew my dog was in good hands when he was picked up. Throughout the day I was consistently updated with photos and videos of my dog out and about. I highly highly recommend Cameron to anyone in need of a dog-sitter. Next time I’m in Boston I will 100% be reaching out to him first. Finn will miss Cameron and Rosie a ton!!! 5 stars!!”

“I highly recommend Ling & Ye...they were fantastic! Our schedule was more dynamic than we had intended and they were very flexible. Our boy Riley, 1-year old Golden, had great time and can't wait to get back to see his new friends!”
“Tae was terrific! This was the first time that Tae took care of our 2-year-old puppy, Sammy. Tae was very quick to respond, totally flexible, and a pleasure to work with. It was very easy to set up a Meet & Greet, and Sammy and I both felt very comfortable playing together at a park as we got to know Tae and her doodle, Udon. After the daycare, I received a detailed report card with great pictures, and Sammy came home happy and tired. I would highly recommend Tae's services and look forward to the next time that she can care for our pup.”

“Emily was absolutely wonderful! I had to find a last minute sitter for my 8 months old puppy and she was so accommodating and flexible. She was willing to connect beforehand to make sure all details were set, which made me feel extra comfortable. She was timely and so attentive to Loon, and shared updates and photos along the way. She was truly so great. We will definitely be going to Emily first when we need help in the future!”
About: I’ve been watching neighbors and friends pets for as long as I can remember! Anytime a furry friend needed a companion I was the one to call. I work full time but am only in office Tuesday and Wednesday. I will gladly stop in anytime after 6 pm on those days otherwise I WFH Monday Thursday and Friday and can stop in three times a day then! I will be glad to walk your dog or just come check on them in your home! I can crate them or do whatever you would feel best about!

“Cori was great with my 80lb pup for walks! She was flexible in scheduling, sent me lots of pictures so I knew she was being well taken care of, and was available for a quick meet and greet a few days before walking her. She is responsible and sweet. Highly recommend and will definitely use again!”
“Sydney has been amazing for our dogs Myla and Malibu. She is quick to respond, reliable and trustworthy. Our girls love their walks and drop ins from Sydney! Can not recommend someone more!”
About: I’ve spent my whole life around animals — from helping raise dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, and hamsters in my own home, to professionally pet sitting and walking since I was a a young teen. What sets me apart is how naturally and intuitively I connect with animals of all kinds and how deeply I care about making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved when they're with me! I’ve had the unique (& humbling😄) experience of raising & training (crate, potty, leash) a beagle puppy as a 15-yr-old, while also helping my senior golden retriever through end-of-life care. I've also fostered and understand the unique needs of different breeds, temperaments, and how to meet pups where they're at. Whether it’s managing an energetic puppy's exercise routine, gently caring for a senior pet's slower pace, or understanding how to read a timid dog's body language—I’m highly attuned to the needs of every pet & always happy to follow special instructions.😊 My ultimate goal is to make sure your pet feels right at home with me & give you complete peace of mind knowing they’re in the most loving, reliable hands possible! I’m currently focusing full-time on pet care, so I have a very open & flexible schedule! Whether you need a midday walk, overnight care, or last-minute help, I’m available & happy to work around your routine. I genuinely love spending time with animals & I’m excited to fill my days/weeks giving your pet the attention they deserve. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, their safety, comfort, and happiness always come first. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, keep your & their space clean and safe, and send regular updates (& pics). Any specific instructions should be discussed ahead of time, otherwise I’ll ask questions as they arise. I am highly attentive to communications (messaging/calls) when pet sitting for everyone’s sake! I live in a spacious, 3-bed 2-bath, 2nd story sunny apartment with plenty of room to play & relax. I have a lots of cat/dog toys, but happy to use yours if applicable. My neighborhood is very safe and quiet, with quick access to the street for potty breaks & right around the corner from a beautiful park with a fenced-in play area - plus walking distance from 2 fenced dog parks for extra exercise & playtime.
About: I am a recent college grad spending some time on my own, but greatly missing my pets! I have experience with all kinds of animals including medically complex pets, seniors, puppies, doodles and other hairy friends, and more! I am a part time intern working about 20 hours per week looking for some friends to fill my downtime. I can look after your animals any time of day with this flexibility. Good for weekdays and weekends! I follow a strict schedule with animals. Feeding routines, walks, treats, and training are all scheduled and followed to a T in my household. This makes it easy for me to apply these in other households.
“Even though Cali was timid/anxious when Katherine arrived she was able to take the time to make sure she was cared for! Much appreciated and would definitely recommend!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets and animals since as far back as I can remember! Once I got my very own pets (a dog and two cats) outside of my family home, it became a whole new world of understanding what it takes to train and care for fur babies. My sweet Aussie, Poppy, like most, is high-energy and anxious, but getting her at just 8 weeks old gave me the opportunity to dive into the world of dog behaviorism and training. She has come leaps and bounds from the over-excited, reactive pup she was, and the work that goes into helping a dog feel more calm and confident in the world means a lot to me. I've worked with dog trainers and have researched for countless hours to understand how and why dogs and cats behave the way they do to give my own the best lives possible, and I would love to take the same care with your own fur baby! I have a flexible WFH schedule on Mondays and Thursdays, as well as weekend availability, that gives me the opportunity to fit in extra walks / visits with new fur babies! I'm comfortable administering medication, crating dogs, cleaning litter boxes, etc. as needed! If it has to do with the day-to-day for cats or dogs, it's all good with me! I do appreciate detailed instructions to make sure that I take the best possible care to follow the routines you already have in place with your pets :)
“So thankful that Kelly was able to take care of my pup for a few days while away for the weekend! It makes me feel better knowing she’s in a calm and secure environment with Kelly instead of in daycare/boarding. And great to see lots of pics of her hanging out with Kelly and her dog, Lemon. Thanks again!”
“Maegan took such good care of our pup! She was sick this week, and we were devastated to have to leave her. But Maegan was sweet to her and made us feel so much better. We really appreciate her!!!”
About: I don't just love my cat, Pinto, I also respect him as a living being. I don't push his buttons and I'm constantly working to make him feel more safe and comfortable. Your pets will receive the same love and attention from me! I'm taking a hiatus from my fulltime job and I just moved to a new area of the city, petsitting will allow me to get out and explore the neighborhood and meet cute creatures! I'm good at following instructions and respecting pets' spaces, I'll be checking in with the owners and giving constant updates. I take my cat's safety seriously and I do worry a lot, I have a camera to monitor him when I'm at work, and before I leave I remove any objects that could possibly harm my cat.
“Atlas has so much fun! Anthony has been great in helping him build confidence w men and atlas always is tired afterward! Anthony is great at communication highly recommend!”
