Even for one overnight, she sent plenty of updates and photos, and her commentary demonstrated she was interested in learning about our dogs' personalities. This was my first booking with her and I couldn't be more pleased! Recommend dog owners tell her everything (even the bad stuff), and she'll handle it with ease.”
About: I have worked with farm animals including dogs and cats for about 2 years and I own a dog and a cat! I also love interacting with animals. I am looking for a simple job to keep me active and be able to give back to my community. I would love to care for animals of all shapes and sizes while also ensuring your home and pets are safe. In my home, we have a big backyard with plenty of room for dogs and a whole separate cat room. Within another person's house I would be respecting boundaries put up around the house and being consistent and well aware of clean up! I also love getting out, which would be favorable for a dog.

“Caroline was available during a busy time of year and super flexible to accommodate a 30-min visit with my cat, Ms. M. We scheduled a quick check-in visit beforehand and she met Ms. M for about 30 minutes, reviewed any instructions, and I left her a set of keys. I appreciated having someone to make sure my cat had a bowl of wet food and some company while I am away for a week. Caroline was also flexible in setting up a time to handoff my spare set of keys. All and all it was a smooth experience and I’d recommend Caroline to others looking for cat care!”
“Priety was our first experience with rover, and she was amazing. She took amazing care of my cat (who needs a lot of medication) and even taught us how to easily give our cat pills and I can't thank her enough for that. I always tell people she's the "cat sitter who changed my life." A big thank you to Priety, Lucy always had a great time with you. We have since moved a few towns over and are sad to no longer in her range!”

She came over for a “meet and greet” beforehand; she was very thorough and confirmed detailed instructions in writing before we left; she handled all the feeding and litter box cleaning and played with and brushed the kitties when she visited; and best of all she sent us cute photos of our cats at every visit. We’ll be using her again, and I would recommend her without a moment’s hesitation.”

She was easy to reach and work with, learned each of my pets’ individual needs and personalities, and kept them happy and entertained.

About: Hello, I would like to say I have had the joy of having dogs and petsitting throughout my life and have loved every aspect of it. My dog, Holly, lived to be 18 years old under my care. I took care of her from when she was a puppy until the end of her senior years so I have a wide range of knowledge on aging dogs. I have a lot of energy so keeping up with a dogs' exercise needs will be no problem. And to me, dogs are family. My dog was like a little sister to me so I understand the trust involved in letting someone else take care of them. I can assure you I have a wealth of compassion for animals, and, given the opportunity, I will care for your dog as if they were my own. Thank you for considering me to care for your dog and I hope you have an amazing day! My schedule is pretty flexible. As of this month I have all day Thursday and Friday available as well as the rest of the week as long as the pet care ends by 2pm. If this doesn't work for you please reach out so we can find a solution! I will keep this updated as my schedule opens up. My home has 2 locked doors to get in and is in a very safe part of Somerville. I currently have a gecko who I feed daily and ensure he has a balanced diet and regular vet appointments as well as enrichment. When I had dogs and cats in the past I was outside for hours every day playing with them and making sure their lives were happy and fun. It brings me a lot of joy to see animals happy and enjoying life. Their lives are so short I want to make every moment a great one.
“Jack was fabulous with my lazy and stubborn dog Wiggins! He kept in contact with us all day and let us know how he was doing. He also was willing to take us last minute and was super flexible with timing.”
About: Hello! My name is Natsuko and I live in Watertown with my fiancée Carson and dog Luna. I’ve lived with and cared for dogs since I was very young, and I’ve gained lots experience with dogs with a wide range of personalities and needs. I’m comfortable with puppy care, including basic leash manners and crate training, and I focus on consistency and positive reinforcement so dogs feel secure while learning. I’ve also lived with dogs who have anxiety or past trauma, and have experience slowly building trust and bonds. I am currently a remote freelancer and this set up gives me great flexibility to spend quality time with my dog Luna during my workday. She LOVES other doggos and would love to play with and go on walks with a new friend! We typically go on short pee breaks once every three hours and go on two long walks every day. My schedule is very flexible so I am confident I can accommodate for the bathroom/walk/eating schedules of any dog in my care. We live in a very walkable neighborhood in Watertown with the Fresh Pond loop a quick walk away! There are many options to take dogs out for a short or long walk. In our home, we have nice open spaces for dogs to play with each other and with toys. Since we have a dog of our own, we have dog proofed our whole home. Our dog Luna loves playing with other dogs and has had no issues with socializing. If a dog in my care needs a break from playtime or gets overstimulated, we have options to separate the dogs if needed since Luna is crate trained and we have many rooms for the dogs to use.
“Cardinal had so much fun at his small-dog play date!! I appreciated that Betsy took time for a thoughtful meet and greet so that I was sure he would feel comfortable! I was very happy that he could enjoy time outside of his crate with other dogs in a warm and caring environment! Will definitely book again!!”
“If I could leave 10 stars, I would. Greta was absolutely AMAZING. Great communication, and an extremely happy pup when I picked her up. Thank you so much Greta for taking care of my Gracie as if she were your own.”
“Indrajeet accepted our reservation at the last minute, which ended up being wonderful luck for us. What a kind and caring dog sitter. Monk and LouLou were immediately at ease. Fear not and book now. A wonderful experience!”
“Vista had so much fun during daycare with Junho and Boki! Junho was very communicative of how Vista was doing, making sure she had everything she needed to enjoy her days, from her food, to play and outside time. It is clear that he truly loves dogs and I would recommend him to anyone looking for someone with a kind heart to care for their pet.”
“So grateful for Lauren for talking amazing care of Arlo for us! Quick response for a last minute booking for daycare and Arlo had a great time! Will definitely be rebooking!”
“Cindy was amazing with our dog Gia today. This was our first time with her, and our dog was already comfortable with her. Cindy was extremely communicative, professional, and sent many progress photos through the day. She was so loving and caring with our puppy, we will definitely be using her help again. Highly recommend her!”
“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.”
“My cat had a wonderful day with Mia and Taowei and returned happily exhausted. They are very attentive and kept me updated all day, and their house has many great windows and shelves that are perfect for a curious cat. Thanks for taking him in!”
“This is Scout's second time at Jacqueline's for doggy daycare. She and Harley do an amazing job looking after Scout. Highly recommend her, she treats your dog as if it were her own.”
“Ben was super flexible with our schedule and very quick to respond / help us out. The whole family jumped in to keep our pup well engaged all day, and we sincerely appreciate their support. Will absolutely reach out again when in need!”
“Maya always has a great time at Lynne’s! Lynne is great communicator and always lets us know about any other dogs that will be in her care while Maya is there. We look forward to booking with Lynne again in the future!”

“Mary Kate showed up on time, took Winnie for a nice long walk, and even worked through me forgetting to tell her where to find the leash. I would be happy to use her services again!”
“Susie is a great communicator and a pleasure to work with. We have trusted her with our senior dog twice now and look forward to calling on Susie again. Thank you, Susie!”
“Lara is great and Fergus was so comfortable with her! She took the time to ask questions and was very detail-oriented in terms of what we wanted her to do/how do it. We will definitely be asking Lara to walk our pup in the future. Thank you again!!”
“Sean is amazing with Jelly, very flexible and communicative, jelly was always so excited to see him and had fun on his walks. Sean also asked if he could help with putting his boots on or leash etc, I will absolutely reach out again for future walks!”
“Maria was wonderful with our 50 lb hound boy! Our dog can be timid or stubborn (and sometimes both!) and Maria was fantastic with him. I booked her for 2 walks - one when I was home so my dog could get to know her and a midday walk a few days later. When we met up, she asked thoughtful questions about my pup and by the end of the visit he has decided she was his favorite person. Maria sent me updates about what time she’d be arriving, a detailed walk report with photos, and a message to let me know how it went. We’ll definitely book with Maria again for anything from a quick walk to a watching our pup overnight!”
“Kayla is a responsible and enthusiastic dog walker! Aurora can be a little wild, but Kayla can manage her without any problem. Aurora immediately liked Kayla and raced over to her for their walk. I'm sure Aurora is looking forward to many more walks with Kayla!”
“Shawn has helped me a number of times take care of my golden retriever and has been a real lifesaver. She is experienced, reliable, clearly cared about my dogs wellbeing and was also a great communicator. She took my dog April for multiple long walks and also figured out how to safely get her some running exercise on a long line. Would definitely recommend Shawn!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my deep compassion, patience, and experience with dogs who need extra attention—especially those with anxiety or special routines. I have hands-on experience caring for senior dogs, puppies, and pets who struggle with separation anxiety. My own dog, Sasha, has anxiety, so I understand the importance of gentle care, consistency, and emotional support. I treat every pet like family, and I’m committed to creating a calm, safe, and loving environment while you’re away. Whether your pup needs long walks, slow introductions, or just a cozy lap to nap on—I’ve got you covered! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I have Mondays and Tuesdays off, which gives me plenty of time for daytime walks and drop-ins. On other days, I’m able to fit in visits between school and work—and I don’t mind doing late-night drop-ins if your pet needs evening attention. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, so I’m happy to make it a priority in my schedule. I’m dependable, flexible, and always focused on making pets feel safe and loved while you’re away. I only offer pet care in the client’s home because I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable in their own familiar environment. I follow your pet’s routine closely—whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or administering medication. I respect your space, keep things tidy, and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. My goal is always to provide reliable, stress-free care that gives both you and your pet peace of mind.
