“Julie did an amazing job taking care of our cat, Cal! He is usually shy and fearful of strangers, but she was incredibly patient with him and soon coaxed him out of his shell. Julie also did a great job of sending us a constant stream of pictures and updates. I highly recommend her!”
“Cindy was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Bear! She was able to accommodate a last-minute request, which we really appreciated. Throughout his stay, she sent daily updates with photos and videos so we always knew how he was doing, and she responded quickly to all of my messages. It was clear that she genuinely cared about him and spent lots of time giving him attention and snuggles. Bear was very well cared for, and we felt completely at ease knowing he was with her. We will definitely be reaching out to Cindy again in the future and would highly recommend both her and her brother to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”

“My dog Risa had been to Lyn’s a few times before and I was so happy Lyn was available to sit for her during our week-long vacation! Risa hadn’t been away from us and our house for that long but I knew she would be in great hands and would have a wonderful week with Lyn!! It was a great experience as always… Lyn sends occasional photos and updates to let me know that Risa is enjoying herself and I can tell she’s in great care 🥰”
“Alec and Damien were perfect hosts for Fran! It was our first time boarding her and everything went super smoothly. Fran was happy and cared for. Would definitely bring Fran to their place again.”
“Our 2 dogs stayed with Nally for a week while we were away. She offered to meet us prior to the booking, which I took her up on since I don’t like to book blindly and we had never met. Her communications were always prompt and she sent pictures while we were away. She was very flexible with coordinating pick up and drop off. Both of my guys came back happy and tired! They were happy to have some other dogs to play with too. I would not hesitate to re-book with her.”

“Julie is always such a reliable and caring sitter to my 2 special needs kitties. They've both really bonded with her and it warms my heart to see them snuggling while I can't be with them. Thanks Julie!”
“Liza was able to accommodate a last minute booking and I am so grateful. Albert and Franklin had another great weekend with Liza. The updates were so detailed and thoughtful. She truly gets their personalities. Until next time! 😊”
“Nick took such good care of our cats (daily check-ins while we were away for a week), sending us detailed daily updates and photos and going above and beyond to check on questions we had while we were away. One of our cats is very shy and hides whenever someone new comes over, but Nick managed to find him even in his sneakiest hiding places and get pictures of him so we could see him. We highly recommend Nick and look forward to working with him in the future!”
“Our cat warmed up to Aimee immediately and was cared for so well by Aimee. We really appreciated the photos of the visits and how well she followed the care instructions. Will definitely recommend Aimee to anyone who’s looking for a careful and friendly sitter!”
“We'll be booking with Jordan again! She gave our cat Z her full attention and care beyond just the basics. Z can be feisty and demands independence but also values social time and connection. Jordan spent quality time with Z, playing with her and giving her pets and snuggles within Z's boundaries. After a couple days Z started standing watch awaiting Jordan's arrival. That's how we know that Z was well loved!”
“Katrina is very responsive and so sweet! Her visits were incredibly punctual and she made sure to send me photos of both my cats each time. She is awesome!!”

“Lorena and Jahn took the best care of my cat! They both did a spectacular job with feeding and playing with him. The pictures and videos they took really showed how much my cat liked them. I can highly recommend them to watch your pets!”
“Alissa took great care of our cat while we were away! She was reliable, timely, and sent regular updates. He was very calm when we came home - it is clear she was very loving to him! Would for sure book again.”
“Kayla did a great job with my dog, Archie! She is professional, courteous and follows directions. I’m always worried to leave Archie with sitters, as he needs extra guidance on walks. but Kayla handled him like she had been watching him for years. I look forward to hiring her again!”
“This was my first time using Rover, and I had a great experience. I was away from my cat for four days and was quite worried at first, but I soon felt relieved knowing she was in such good hands. He took great care of her, kept me updated, and made me feel comfortable while I was away. My cat warmed up to him very quickly and clearly enjoyed spending time with him, which meant a lot to me. I really appreciate the care and attention he gave her, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Hannah looked after my Frankie like she was her own! Gave her lots of attention and love, and sent me photos and updates everyday. Easy communication and trustworthy. Thank you, Hannah, for looking after Frankie so well!”

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 have college classes Monday, Wednesday, annd Fridays. On tuesdays and Thursdays i have teo 1 hour classes. Other than that, 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 porch they can lounge around!
“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 :)”
“Willow loved her time with Suzanne. Suzanne did a meet-and-greet in advance with us to learn about Willow. Then they spent their walking and playing and Willow was happy to come back and see Suzanne again!”
“Anh is absolutely amazing!! Our dogs have a lot of anxiety issues and codependency, so we were nervous about their first time staying with a sitter- but they loved going to Anh’s! She did an amazing job with them, sent adorable pics of them cuddling up with her and going for long walks, and it helped put our minds at ease to know they were so well cared for and comfortable with her! Anh is so sweet and her passion is evident. We will definitely be reaching out next time we’re in the area!”
“Quincy had a great day staying with Bella! Bella communicated well and was happy to do a meet and greet with us before booking. We love that her roommates and friends are around so even when she’s in class, there’s often someone home to keep Quincy cuddly. Would definitely book Bella again!”
“She is an amazing sitter! She gave frequent updates throughout the day, and really appreciated that she went above and beyond by sending a lot of pictures. Also, I really appreciate her flexibility. If you’re in Boston, highly recommend her as your pet sitter. Go Greta (and Juniper)! 🫶✨”
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 2 cats Emerald and Ivy! They are both 3 years old and they are spoiled. They have there own wall climbing catch tree that and tons of toys.
“Andrew and Ellen were great and very responsive throughout. Piper took a looong time to settle as was missing his hoomum but eventually settled down and had a fun time playing with sweet Mango too 🥰”
“Banapsha and Sid were so wonderful with me and Zephyr. I had a last minute request for daycare and they were willing to take us on short notice.. They really went the extra mile to make sure my pup was well taken care of. Banapsha was so kind to keep me updated every few hours with pictures and updates of Zeph. Zeph looked like he had a blast the entire time playing ball and tug. I'm definitely a bit of a helicopter mom when it comes to my pup and Banapsha was up to do a meet and greet beforehand so as to put me at ease since this was our first time together. She asked tons of questions and really took the time to take note of my pups quirks. I could really tell how much she absolutely loved pups and how well Zeph took to her when we met. So so grateful to have found someone I can trust to take care of my pup when I'm away. Ill definitely be back again soon!!!!”
“I could not be happier with Maria and Caesar. My dog, Gary, can be a nervous little guy but by day 2, he was already happy to see Caesar at drop off and Caesar was excited to see him too! Maria sends me pictures and updates every day Gary is with them which gives me peace of mind while I’m at work. They’ve been really flexible with drop off and pick up times and have even accepted last minute bookings. I can’t say enough good things about Maria and Caesar and if Gary could talk, I’m sure he would say the same.”

“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!”
“Gabriel was terrific with our little man (9.5 year old Yorkie poo). Our regular dog walker was on vacation and Gabriel reliably covered 4 days of walks. He is a dog owner himself and a dog lover, and we could tell that he took great care of our dog. He was an excellent communicator and was prompt with his pick up on each of the four days he walked our dog. We would definitely use Gabriel in the future.”
“Grace was wonderful! Very professional and caring. She took care of my Husky over the weekend which is no small task with such a high energy pup and she did better than I could have hoped for. I will definitely be using her again in the future and you should too.”
About: What to expect for boarding/daycare: I guarantee 4 walks a day of at least 40 minutes to an hour (or longer) depending on the needs and energy levels of your dog. Your dogs will be extremely well taken care of, ensuring they have plenty of time devoted to walking, sniffing around, playing, and other forms of enrichment. *mostly boarding at the moment but please ask about walking/daycare/house sitting!* I have spent my whole life working with and for animals. I work as a conservation biologist and have experience in animal rehabilitation. I also have a degree in biology and animal studies/behavior. Growing up, I lived on a farm and worked with and trained a variety of farm animals daily for 4H. I also have volunteered at my hometown animal shelter to raise and promote their cats and dogs for many years. Additionally, I spent much of my youth taking care of my families’ dogs and cats, and pet sitting for friends, family, and strangers. I am open to any and all kinds of animals at any age range. I have spent many hours nursing sick animals back to health, so I am well-trained in being patient and attentive to the needs of animals in my care. I currently work from home so I have a lot of time for high-energy dogs that need multiple visits/long walks daily or elderly pets that needs slower TLC at your home or mine. I live in a quiet building that would be good for watching skittish pets and have a nice park next to our building for walks and play. I am used to having animals so I keep the apartment very clean and never leave food out anywhere that animals may be able to reach.
About: I've always been around animals growing up, from dogs to birds to horses, and everything in between. My neighborhood often sought me out when they needed a sitter, or just someone to stop in and throw a ball around. I am comfortable with dogs of all ages and sizes, and love learning about their individual personalities! I am comfortable taking animals on long walks, or keeping furry friends company while their family is away. Staying overnight does not bother me whatsoever, or dropping in at multiple times during the day. I know how special pets are and value their companionship. I look forward to working with pet owners and getting some animal love that I have been lacking in my life for a while! I’m a graduate student at Simmons University, but my schedule is very flexible and I am always willing to work with owners to make something work! I want your pet to feel as comfortable with me as with their family. When house sitting, I'm a stickler for details and ask lots of questions so that I can make the sitting experience comfortable for pets. I'm active and can keep up with pets that have high energy, but can also be a stay at home TV watcher for those types of pets as well!
About: have 4 years of hands-on pet care experience working with puppies, seniors, and dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’ve helped families with daily walks, feeding schedules, bathing, medication reminders, and lots of love and playtime. My goal is to keep every pet relaxed, safe and happy while building trust with both the dog and the owner. I treat every pet like family. Pet care is part of my everyday routine. I plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, play sessions, and check-ins to make sure pets get consistent attention and care. I stay flexible for early mornings, evenings, and weekends so pet parents always know their dog’s routine will stay on track. always follow each pet parent’s instructions carefully to keep routines consistent and stress-free. I make sure pets are secure, watched, and comfortable at all times, whether that means walking on safe routes, using leashes, keeping doors locked, or monitoring their behavior closely. I focus on trust, calm energy, and clear communication, along with plenty of affection. My goal is to create a safe environment where every pet feels relaxed, understood, and loved.
“Kayla is wonderful! Very detail oriented, caring, sweet and Benji loved her! She was very patient with me explaining all of Benji’s routine and was very diligent about following all of it. Highly recommend!!”
“Melissa is great! She takes my elderly dog for a walk on my one long day away from the house. She always gives me a lot of info on how my old girl did and sends me the cutest pictures of her rolling around in the grass at the park and playing with other dogs. She also feeds my girl lunch and gives my cat a little snuggle too! I would definitely recommend her!”
“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 goldendoodles. My first was a full sized, about 80 pounds. I’m used to handling big or small dogs. Now I am a cat dad for a senior cat (over 20 years old). I am seeking part time employment. I am available throughout the workday for walks, check-ins and anything else your pet might need. I am also available on weekends. I am able to provide services in your home. I cannot board without disturbing my own cat. I am gentle with animals and attentive to their needs. I am detailed oriented and happy to give your pet the special attention it needs.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs, both larger and active like my lab and smaller dogs like my chihuahua mix. I’ve dog watched before, usually two dogs at a time. I’ve had to give oral medication while pet sitting as well. I have classes from Monday through Thursday until 2pm. I can always do a walk or drop-in on those days, but I’d only be available for overnights Thursday-Saturday. I usually care with a respect to what the dog needs. Some dogs need to play, get on a lot of walks, get their energy out. Others need a companion while there family is gone and just need some cuddles. Some are a mixture of both. I make sure to respect what the client requests, the dog’s basic needs, and the dog personality for care.
“Viktoriia is a wonderful and very caring dog walker! She walks my small shihtzu / yorkie every week. Viktoriia is always on time, incredibly thoughtful, goes the extra mile to make sure my dog is cared for and will always ask questions if she’s not sure about something. If you’re looking for a consistent and all round fantastic dog walker, Viktoriia is it! I can’t recommend her enough!”
