“Isabella was great! She attended to my dog perfectly and was extremely communicative, updating with lots of pictures and videos. I highly recommend and would definitely use her again!”
“Julie was amazing, it’s no wonder she has star sitter status! I always get nervous leaving my dog with new people, but she sent lots of pictures and updates about how he was doing. Seymour came home so content and relaxed!”
“We had a wonderful experience! They took excellent care of our dog and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We really appreciated the frequent updates and photos—they kept us informed and reassured that our pup was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It was clear our dog received lots of attention and affection throughout the stay. We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring, reliable dog sitter!”
“Nalix was everything we wanted out of a pet sitter: prompt communication, accommodating, good care of our dog, and convenient dropoff and pickup. We will use Nalix in the future!”
“Jo and Adam took such good care of our pup Frankie. This was the longest he has ever been away from us- a whole week- but he came back so happy and tired, true signs of a good time. Jo and Adam sent photos daily which helped us a lot and it was fun and comforting to see Frankie with their dog Napo and little baby too as well as seeing him laying down next to Jo and Adam on the couch! It is such a relief to find such caring, competent, professional, and caring sitters that we can use when we need care for our pup. Thanks so much Jo and Adam!!”
“Greta was very kind, patient, communicative and accommodating! Lots of updates and pics throughout my dogs stay. Plenty of walks and park time. He seemed genuinely happy to be there!”
“Steven was phenomenal. He sent us daily updates and photos, and it was clear Carly felt completely at home. She came back happy, relaxed, and well-cared for. Truly an exceptional experience.”
“Shuhua helped us out in a pinch last minute to board our dog same night, and we are so happy with the attentiveness shown - it doesn't get much better for our shy and sleepy greyhound girlie than an elevator to avoid the scary stairs, a soft couch, lovingly-shared boiled chicken and peeled apples, and a fresh new green space she gets to sniff around. We've already booked a second day due to our needs, and will absolutely reach out again in the future if needed! So glad to establish a connection to a nearby sitter that is so comfortable for our pet.”
“Kathy was so accommodating and responsive! And she sent pictures of Frankie all day long to keep us posted. It was Frankie’s first experience in a house with cats so we were a bit worried, but everything worked out great and all the animals lived in harmony. We will definitely book again!”
“Alec and Damien were great hosts! Tanuki seemed very comfortable and we received lots of updates. So glad to have been able to book with them ❤️”
“Zelun was so good with our dog. We will definitely be using zelun in the future. He sent lots of photos and had great communication. He also brought Iggy on many adventures each day like the park and nice walks!”
“Tae is the best sitter ever! She took such great care of my dog during boarding. She made sure to be informed of Benji’s habits and care info. I really appreciated the wonderful and regular updates and photos. She took Benji to the park very often and provided so many toys to keep him entertained. It was a vacation for him!”
“Tyler is a terrific person to leave your dog with. He communicates during the stay, is east to get in touch with, and of course has a very positive relationship with your dog. He enjoys them. I would leave my dog with him and feel very secure he would be in a friendly, safe place.”
“Joe did a wonderful job caring for our sweet girl! He sent us frequent pictures and updates to let us know how she was doing. He was very understanding, patient, and attentive. Will definitely use him again :)”
“Thank you again John. Walking dogs in a dense urban setting is not without its challenges. John is so experienced with this and we can head out of town without concern for our dog when he's in John's care.”
“Xiaoyuan and William were the best. I was out on a business trip and they were able to board my Shiba Inu Bolt. Because they had another Sheebs in the house, they were already aware of the quirks of owning the breed but sure it would have been translatable to other breeds. They were very communicative and provided a lot of updates throughout. I highly recommend them.”
“Kaisi was AMAZING! So communicative and she took extraordinary care of our high-energy dog. She brought him to parks nearly every day! And she took so many lovely pictures of our pup. Can’t wait for Kaisi to take care of our dog again soon.”
“Hyesoo is amazing with dogs! We left our very clingy mini dachshund with her for 6 nights. Our dog loves constant attention and has endless energy, but Hyesoo took such great care of her, and she absolutely loved staying with her. Hyesoo sent us lots of photos and videos throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We could tell Peanut was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We wouldn’t hesitate to leave her with Hyesoo again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.”

About: I’ve been a dedicated dog owner for over 10 years and have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. In addition to caring for my own dog, I’ve volunteered at animal shelters, where I helped care for dogs by walking, feeding, socializing, and providing them with attention and comfort. I understand the importance of keeping pets safe, following routines, and making sure they feel happy and loved while their owners are away. I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own! I’m currently on break from graduate school receiving my Masters in Social Worker for the summer, and am free almost anytime during the day until September! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust, and I’ll always treat your home and your pet with the utmost respect. I’ll carefully follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions to help them feel safe and comfortable. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away!
“Julie is the best!! She’s watched our cats several times now and we love having her take care of our two cats while we’re away. The trust and appreciation we have for her is unmatched.

“Winita has been amazing with Luna! She went above and beyond to take care of Luna. She made me feel very comfortable when I asked her questions and made additional requests during her visit.

“Jordan is a pro's pro. I was so nervous leaving my young cat alone to go to a wedding overseas, who was also sick with ringworm. Jordan jumped right in, gave him his medicine, and shared her own experience working with ringworm kittens. She provided such frequent communication and was so gentle and kind to him during her initial meeting. It was very reassuring to have someone so experienced taking care of your cat, especially during a holiday weekend with warmer temperatures. She also made sure to update me to ensure his air conditioning and climate was comfortable. Thank you Jordan for making it easy to leave my kitty in your hands.”

Anh is so sweet and her passion is evident. We will definitely be reaching out next time we’re in the area!”
About: A lot of my experience comes from caring for my girlfriend's two dogs, who are basically my two best friends—a Japanese Chin and a Lhasa-Poo. Whenever her parents are out of town, I'm usually the one taking care of them. We've even watched them for weeks at a time while their family was traveling, so I'm comfortable with everything from feeding and walks to playtime, keeping them on their routine, and making sure they get plenty of attention. I've also known our Lhasa-Poo since she was a puppy. When she first came home, my girlfriend and I spent that entire first week with her, helping her adjust to a new environment, keeping her company at night, and making sure she felt safe and comfortable. More than anything, I'm just a huge dog lover. Whenever I go back home to India, I spend a lot of my time hanging out with the neighborhood stray dogs. They've become part of my visits home. I know every dog is different, and my goal is always to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. I'll care for your dog the same way I care for the dogs in my own life: with lots of attention, affection, and plenty of updates so you know they're doing well. I work from home, so I'm around throughout the day and have a very flexible schedule. That means I can take dogs out for regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and make sure they're never left alone for long. I love staying active, so I'm always happy to fit in extra walks or outdoor time if your pup enjoys it. I also welcome boarding on most weekends, unless I'm out of town, which isn't very often. My goal is to make sure your dog feels comfortable, gets plenty of attention, and sticks to their normal routine while you're away. I live in a very dog-friendly apartment, and I'm very used to sharing my space with dogs. I help care for my girlfriend's two pups regularly, so having dogs around the house is something I'm completely comfortable with. In my home, dogs are welcome to roam freely and make themselves at home—they're welcome on the couch and in any room unless you have different rules you'd like me to follow. I know every dog has their own routine, so I'm happy to stick to whatever they're used to, whether that's crate training, scheduled feeding times, or specific walking routines. Once again, my goal is to make your dog feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible while you're away.
“Emma was really great! She always sent me updates on how it was going and was flexible about timing with my work schedule. My dog is super shy but she warmed up to Emma quickly :)”
About: Your pets will be in loving, reliable hands with me. I treat every animal like they’re part of my own family, giving them so much attention and comfort that they won’t even notice you’re away🥰 I’m a stay at home mom with a very flexible schedule, so I’m available most days and can easily adjust to your pet’s needs. Whether your pet requires extra cuddles, calm companionship, or lots of playtime, I’m here to make sure they feel safe and happy. When your pet stays in my home, they become part of my family from the moment they walk through the door. I provide a clean, safe, and pet friendly environment where they can relax, explore, and feel completely comfortable. I have 1 cat. Her name is Emerald she is 2 years old and she is absolutely spoiled. She has her own wall climbing catch tree that she loves and tons of toys.
“Anastasia was amazing!! Visiting Boston for my bday Nervous to leave our puppy but she was so incredible with Bella and sent us updates all day! Thank you!”

About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was in 5th grade. Whether I went to the owners house or they came to mine, I treated them with love and kindness. I’ve worked with little, medium, and big dogs, and they have been long term clients! People actually call me the dog whisperer! I work from home every day so i will be home with your pups! they can relax with me around the house or go out with me for errands or anything else! I treat them with love and plenty of play time! Dogs are allowed on our beds and furniture, so they will get lots of cuddles! I allow them to explore the house so they can get comfortable in the new environment and let them warm up to me so they are not scared. I have a big park just right across from me, I am in a very walkable neighborhood, so they will get great walks. I also have a big back yard they can lounge around!
“Sandra went above and beyond to make both me and Koda feel so comfortable. She was communicative, reliable, and caring. I could tell Koda loved her and had an amazing time. I was so impressed with Sandra and will absolutely be reaching out to her again.”

“Nicole took the time to really gauge what Cocoa wanted each day. Some days all she wants is to play or get belly rubs and others she wants a long walk around the neighborhood. She always sent a report on how Cocoa was and what they did and included great pictures of her playing or getting pets. I couldn't recommend Nicole enough!”
“Lucy is so wonderful and such a caring and kind sitter. She is responsive, helpful, and communicative! I felt so at ease knowing she was spending time with my pup while I was at work. She made sure he got a great walk and had plenty of water after their walk. I can’t say enough positive things about Lucy. We appreciate her so much and are so grateful we met her !!”
“Very communicative throughout the session. Cleo and i’s first time using Rover and Kieran made the experience super easy and was very patient with Cleo to ensure she was able to fully utilize her potty break & get her steps in :)”

“Alissa is an amazing dog walker. We deeply appreciate how reliable and consistent she is, and how well she manages our dog with reactivity. She always comes on time and has been mindful of the summer heat when going on walks. Alissa has been an absolute asset to our family and we are wicked lucky to have her!!”
About: Hi! I’ve been taking care of my own pets my entire life and started looking after others as soon as I was old enough. I miss my pets from home and am looking to make a little extra money by taking care of yours! I have years of experience with cats and dogs. I work a very flexible 9-5 job from home with the occasional in-office visit, so I have time to stop in on or walk your pets during the work day and/or stay overnight while you’re out of town. My apartment isn’t fit for pets, but I am very experienced with staying in others’ homes. I am respectful of your space and privacy while making your pet feel at ease.

About: I’m friendly, reliable, and love spending time with dogs. I’ve cared for family and friends’ pets over the years, including my family’s Goldendoodle, two dogs for a months long house stay, and several other dogs, cats, and even a gecko. As a graduate student in clinical psychology, I bring patience, kindness, and communication to every visit. I’m currently focusing on dog walking and drop-in visits and have a car. My graduate school schedule gives me flexibility, and I do my best to keep my calendar up to date. I’m also open to boarding an easygoing, well-behaved dog on a case-by-case basis. My goal is for you to feel confident that your dog is happy and well cared for. I’ll always keep dogs leashed on walks unless you’ve given other instructions. I’ll also carefully follow your care routine and send as many photo and text updates as you’d like.
“Emma is amazing. Great at communication, trustworthy and absolutely amazing with my dog. He is always looking forward to his walks with Emma and will for sure miss her!”

About: Avid animal lover and long-walk enthusiast seeking pets of all types in need of love and attention while their human is away. I have been walking dogs and house sitting since I was 12 years old and volunteer with rescue animals. I love earning the trust and adoration of pets and providing them with the level of care I give to my own pup, Cookie. I know being away from your pet can be tough so I like to provide thorough updates throughout the day (at your discretion) with plenty of pics sprinkled in. I recently left my job to take some time off and plan for what's next, which means I have a plethora of hours to dedicate to caring for your pet! I am responsible, reliable and friendly! I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend(s)! I’m in between jobs so I'm able to shower your pup with love and attention all day. I go for frequent walks around the block as well as longer walks throughout the day. I treat any dog I take care of as though they are my own, ensuring their safety and happiness and making sure their needs are met.

I booked an overnight stay with Guillermo to see if they’d be a good fit, and it went perfectly. As soon as I arrived, I felt comfortable. Guillermo showed me around the house so I could see where Kiara would stay, which put me at ease. Kiara quickly warmed up to him and didn’t seem upset when I left. During the day, Guillermo sent thoughtful updates and photos, which really helped me relax. When I came back to pick up Kiara, she was happy to see me. She gave me a few kisses and then settled on the couch like she was at home. I really appreciated Guillermo’s care, communication, and the calm, friendly atmosphere he created. I have already booked with him again.”

Overall really pleased with the boarding service and will be boarding with Christina again soon!”
