Couldn’t recommend her more - she is great with cats and i assume all other animals too :) thank you Alyssa!!”

During the heat wave, she went the extra mile by making sure the AC was turned on when needed and even refilled Kali’s water bowl with ice to keep her comfortable.

About: I grew up with 2 Yorkies and bulldogs! I love dogs with my life. Dogs are like family to me. One of my Yorkies (they both live in my hometown) passed away recently due to her age, so I do know how to properly take care of dogs even when it comes to senior dogs or even puppies. I am always available to take care of dogs! I live with my boyfriend who works at home so he is available in case I’m not home. I go to law school so sometimes it does get busy but I’m always happy to take care of a baby (pet)! I take care of pets at my home by providing them a place for them to be able to sleep comfortably and play with their toys. I also think that talking to them calms them down and makes them more comfortable. Dogs are really smart and they do understand rules if you explain it to them!
“Roman had a wonderful time! I loved the updates and the pictures throughout his stay! It definitely makes my fur mom heart a little more settled knowing the great care he is in and updates on what he’s doing during his time! Definitely came home nice and sleepy!!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life, including two Labrador Retrievers named Maverick and Goose, and a Beagle that I cared for over 10 years, so I’m very comfortable with daily routines, exercise, and understanding different personalities. I’ve also done several overnight house-sitting and dog care jobs, working with a wide range of breeds, from small dogs like pugs to larger, high-energy dogs like huskies. I’ve always had a genuine love for animals and caring for them. The first animal I really fell in love with was a manatee when I was about 5 years old living in Florida, and that kind of stuck with me. My time as a kid was spent at the beach boogie boarding out into the ocean hoping a dolphin would find me and become my friend. Growing up, I loved going to the aquarium and the zoo to learn about different animals, and I’ve always been especially drawn to red pandas and stingrays. That curiosity and appreciation carries over into how I care for pets—I really enjoy getting to know each animal’s personality and making sure they feel safe and happy. In addition, I have a lot of hands-on caregiving experience through taking care of my brother who has special needs, as well as working with special needs youth. That’s taught me to be patient, attentive, and very in tune with individual needs, which I bring into how I care for animals as well. Pet care honestly fits into my routine really naturally because it’s something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to. I have a part-time job in the mornings and some evenings, so I have a lot of flexibility during the day to spend quality time with dogs—whether that’s going on long walks, stopping by for visits, or just hanging out and keeping them company. I grew up with dogs and took care of my Beagle for 10 years, so I’m very used to building my day around their needs. It doesn’t feel like a task to me—it’s something I love doing. Being around dogs, getting outside, and making sure they’re happy and cared for is something I naturally make time for every day. I focus on making pets feel comfortable, safe, and at ease by sticking closely to their normal routine. I know how important consistency is, so I follow feeding schedules, walk times, and any specific instructions carefully. When I’m in a client’s home, I’m very respectful of their space and make sure their dog is always supervised and within my sight. I pay attention to their behavior and energy so I can respond to what they need, whether that’s a long walk, playtime, or just relaxing together so they don’t feel alone. If I’m caring for a pet in my own home, I create a calm, safe environment where they get plenty of attention, exercise, and downtime. I really just try to treat every dog like my own and make sure they feel happy and cared for the whole time.
“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)! 🫶✨”

“I had a great experience with Hannah as a dog walker! She communicated promptly to coordinate everything and took my puppy Luna's schedule into consideration, which I really appreciated.

About: Like most reasonable people, I’ve loved animals my whole life. I spent many Saturdays as a young adult just hanging out and volunteering at the animal shelter because it made me so happy. I think what sets me apart from other sitters is that I’m very patient, self-aware, and I’m not easily grossed out. I’ve sat still for hours waiting for an animal to trust me enough to approach me. I make sure to read their bodies before extending my hand, and I am conscientious of making noise because I want them to be comfortable. I don’t have a weak stomach when it comes to shedding, drool, or accidents. I am a substitute teacher for elementary schools in the area and I work when I can, but there are many days when there are no listings available, or that I’m working partial days. I’m generally pretty free. I will follow the direction and guidelines of the pet owner to keep the animal safe. I am a cautious person and would not let somebody else’s pet outside without a harness or secure fence unless otherwise directed.
About: What sets me apart is my reliability, patience, and genuine love for animals. I recently helped care for and train two new puppies, working on basic commands, routines, socialization, and positive reinforcement. Friends, neighbors, and family trust me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I walk my 2 energetic pups everyday and love doing it! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I’m already very active as a student-athlete. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to plan walks, playtime, and drop-ins around my classes and hockey practices, so pets always get the time and attention they need. provide a safe and caring environment where pets feel comfortable. I follow any instructions you give me closely, whether it’s feeding schedules, walks, or medications. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel loved, safe, and happy while in my care.
“Lynne was wonderfully patient with Zelda. She was open to a gradual introduction to our anxious girl. Her experience fostering was a huge help to Z swiftly warming up to Lynne.”
About: Born into a family of dog lovers, I've been caring for our canine companions from the get-go. I've been entrusted with feeding, walking, bathing, and house-sitting by family and friends alike. I have a natural affinity with dogs, and can promise you that I will care for your dog like one of my own :) I have a very flexible schedule this summer as I’m working remote from home. If communicated, I can plan ahead to be available at your convenience. Situated by Morningside Park, my spacious apartment is a haven for dogs, equipped with food, water, and treats. One of my favourite things is to walk dogs at the park. I excel in following specific instructions, ensuring personalized care according to each dog's needs and owner's preferences. Your dog's wellbeing is my priority!

“Tiffany was fantastic! Very friendly, super responsive and definitely cares for the dogs! Her little dog violet is very cute as well. Pepper stayed with Tiffany for 4 nights and I got pictures each day and short updates on how she was doing - it eased my mind as we were out of town missing her!

Would definitely book Tiffany again in the future!!”
