“Best ever!!!!! We just came back from our first trip away from Stella. It was traumatic for us and we were worried before we left. But Lyn made everything ok! We got regular picture and videos. Lyn loved Stella and took care of her like she was her own puppy. Not only that. The day before we left, we had a trip to the animal ER, so Lyn got a dog with bandaged paws. Lyn was gentle and kind and in spite of the surprise, was ready to care for Stella. We came home to a happy and healthy puppy! I can’t say enough about how grateful we are.”

They are an excellent family with lots of love for animals.”

We would absolutely leave Elsa with Shuhua again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.”

Penny is usually very stressed when we're away, but Samantha’s calm and caring presence made a huge difference. She took the time to understand Penny’s routines and needs, and it was clear that Penny felt safe and comfortable with her. We loved getting regular updates and photos, which put us at ease.

About: Your pets will be in loving, reliable hands with me.

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.

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.

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.
“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!!”
About: I grew up in a household where there were always other animals around. At a time, I’ve had a maximum of 4 pets in my home, 2 at minimum. I grew up taking care of my sick-prone Chihuahua who I cared for until she was 16 years old. I am familiar with senior pets (both cats and dogs) and can administer basic sickness medication. I am an avid animal lover and would love to spend some time with your pet!!! I am a recent college graduate! I work remotely and my schedule is extremely flexible. While I can not offer care in my home for your pet(s) due to my housing, I have the flexibility to check-in for long and short periods of time, house sit, take animals on walk, administer basic medication, just love and cuddle on them—you name it. I am happy to work around your animal’s schedule and figure out what works best for you and them! In caring for your pet, my top priority is ensuring that your animal feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, and that you feel safe and comfortable with my service! Your pet’s safety is my number one concern: I will take the time to learn your pet’s specific needs and ensure that their home is secure. I believe trust is the foundation of a great pet-sitting experience, so I will clearly communicate with you regarding your pet with regular updates and following your instructions! I am familiar with most safety systems, fences, gates, codes, etc… I myself am an anxious pet mom, so I am happy to meet you where you are at in regards to communication about your pet.
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.
“Alissa is an amazing dog walker. We deeply appreciate how reliable and consistent she is, and how well she manages our dog with reactivity.

“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.”
“If you have an anxious dog who struggles in meeting new people Luis is the best sitter/walker. Luis is extremely empathetic, patient and very accommodating. He goes at your dog's pace! I was worried about leaving my dog with anyone since he is challenging to work with and Luis has greatly eased my concerns.”
About: I absolutely love dogs, and while mine are at home back in California I would love to spend some time taking care of dogs in Boston. I have had dogs for my entire life and gotten to experience every aspect of caring for them. I have also gone through the process of training two guide dog puppies (basic behavior and becoming comfortable with different environments). I love to walk dogs and pet sit, with a lifetime of experience in both due to my own dogs! I am currently working remotely 9:30am-5:30pm. I can house sit during the day and walk dogs before 9:30am, during lunchtime, or after work! I am also available on weekends. I can take care of your pet at their own home as I have experience with overnight pet sitting and am happy to house-sit as well if you are out of town.
“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!”
