About: I've helped to take care of 6 dogs through their entire lifespan, from puppyhood to their golden years, loving every second of the way! I have also been hired by neighbors to watch after cats and fish while they were away on longer trips. I worked briefly as a dog daycare attendant, but now work as a writer at home, and am thrilled by the opportunity to help you care for your wonderful furry family. Pet care is my main priority throughout the week and weekends, and I write in the mornings and evenings. However I can be of assistance, I will! I have my own dog, Luna, a 35 pound mixed-breed rescue, and I treat her like family, because she is family! I would be honored to discuss how you care for your pets, and what I can do to make them feel at home as I help look after them.
“Ryan was really great! Our cat, Ollie, is a senior with health issues who requires a daily pill and 3 feedings per day. Ryan took care of it all and sent pics from each visit. It was great knowing that he was checking in with Ollie and keeping him company for a bit each day while we were away. Thanks, Ryan!”
“This is our first experience with Rover, we were unsure about it at first but Nicole was amazing! She went as scheduled and we got a sweet and detailed update every day. It's obvious how much she loves cats, our kitty walked right up to her at the meet and greet so he could tell too! We are so grateful to Nicole for giving him so much love while we were away!”
“Kristen is amazing!!! She needed to shovel her way in to feed our cats one night, *and* she had to clean up one of my forgetful messes, but Kristen stops at nothing to make sure our home and pets are well cared for! She also managed to befriend my very suspicious cats— no easy feat! Will definitely use Kristen again when needed! 🙌🙌”
“Stephanie was great! They made sure to communicate every day and followed all the instructions to a T. Their availability during the holidays helped me a lot. Would book again.”
About: My neighbors own cats for many years and go on vacations yearly leaving the cats for me to take care of and I am always more than happy to help out! I have previously owned a cat before and found them to be loving and careful creatures.
About: I have had dogs for 20 years and will treat your dogs like my own. Will accommodate requests as much as possible for your family. https://www.rover.com/sit/micheb79651 I am available for drop in visits for walks, can fix any special food if needed and give oral medication. Every visit will include time to sit and visit. I will always walk dogs on leash and take extra time to care for your dog like my own. I can crate if needed for your dog.
About: I have owned or cared for 4 legged friends for most of my life. Family and friends have had me care for their pets since I was about 12, but owning my own really made me love them. I am comfortable with pets of all sizes, but I have a special place in my heart for larger breed dogs and orange cats. I would love to help reinforce your dogs training, encourage socialization and exercise in settings that are safe and dog friendly, and I am passionate that animals are part of a family. I am comfortable feeding both dogs and cats, and have experience medicating both. I'm a stay at home mom with a kiddo who is in elementary school, so my schedule tends to be flexible depending on the day and school schedules. Please be aware that if a visit or walk is scheduled on a day that there is no school, (such as a holiday or vacation), or a time that school is not in session (half days, weekends, or after school hours) my daughter may join me. I love going for walks and exploring new areas, but can also happily cuddle a furry friend. I am able to feed, pick up after, and care for animals with confidence. I am comfortable taking instruction and will do my absolute best to make sure that you are happy with my visit with your furry family member. I don't worry about bigger dogs, they're just more to love! Meeting a new dog prior to the first visit is a requirement for my services.

About: I’ve raised three dogs from puppies to adulthood, so I have years of hands-on experience with dogs of different ages and personalities. Now, when my friends travel, they trust me to take care of their dogs at my home. I treat every dog like my own — with patience, love, and attention to their individual needs. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, relaxed, and happy, just like they would at home. Pet care is a natural part of our daily routine. I am at home 24/7, so your dog will never be left alone. I has plenty of time to feed, walk, and care for each pet with love and attention. Our neighborhood is quiet with very little traffic, making it a safe and peaceful place for walks and play. Your dog will always have someone nearby for company and comfort. We provide a clean, safe, and pet-friendly home where dogs can relax and feel at ease. I am always at home to supervise and care for the pets, ensuring they’re never left alone. We don’t use cages — dogs are free to roam, rest, or play as they wish. Our quiet neighborhood with low traffic offers a safe environment for walks. We keep a close eye on each pet’s well-being and behavior. Every pet is treated like family, with patience, love, and constant care.

“Sergio goes above and beyond with the care for your pets. We have two not so little rascals and they had so much fun while at day care with Sergio. He even taught me a few things about handling two leash pullers.”
About: Caring for animals has always been at the heart of my home and my life. I share my space with a senior dog and two cats, all of whom are treated as cherished family members. My dog is a rescue I welcomed at 2 years old—she initially struggled with anxiety and trust, but through patience, compassion, self-education, and consistent training, she has grown into an incredibly gentle and loving companion. I also opened my home to my older cat after she was abandoned and had the joy of raising her kitten, who is now my second cat. They are both calm, affectionate, and bring so much warmth into my home. Beyond my own pets, I’ve been caring for animals for over 20 years. Since my teenage years, I’ve provided boarding and drop-in care for dogs and cats belonging to friends and family, as well as helping care for stray cats in my community. These experiences have shaped my approach to pet care—I am attentive, dependable, and committed to going above and beyond. From maintaining a safe, comforting environment to providing thoughtful, well-balanced meals, every detail matters. Each pet in my care is treated with the same kindness, respect, and dedication I give my own, because I truly believe they are family. 🦮🍽️ For Drop-Ins & Walks— I am Available Monday–Saturday from 7:00–10:30 AM and 8:00–9:00 PM. Some Thursdays/Saturdays + all Sundays are flexible based on your needs. ☀️🏡For Doggy Day Care— hours of care range from 6am-6pm including pick-up/drop-off time. 🌙🏠For Boarding (In-Home Care)— as a full-time remote worker, I’m home throughout the day and available 7 days a week for boarding. Feedings can be provided 2–4 times daily depending on your pet’s routine. Walks + playtime typically take place between 7:00–10:00 AM, with additional engagement throughout the day. Dogs are let out every 3–4 hours for bathroom breaks to ensure comfort and consistency. I’m happy to adjust routines to match your pet’s specific needs and schedule. Your pet(s) safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a secure, welcoming home with a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and a quiet, dog-friendly neighbourhood perfect for walks. Do you have a dog that isn’t so keen on canine companionship? Not to worry! We provide a split yard, and my dog is good at respecting boundaries if another dog isn’t interested in interactions. This is a kennel-free home, however we do have a kennel indoor if that is a part of your pet(s) safety routine. Other than that I provide a dog bed or if your dog is a snuggler, they are welcome to sleep on the bed with me. My senior dog is gentle and playful, offering a calm companionship to your fur baby. My cats keep to themselves and if needed, I can always separate pets who aren’t comfortable with one another. I have a separate litter box for your cat(s) to use that is kept in another area of the home to prevent any territory conflict. Overall, I create a structured, supervised environment where every pet feels safe, relaxed, and right at home.
“Xiaofan was amazing! She was an excellent communicator, sent lots of pictures and updates, and was so sweet with our pup! We would use her again— our dog agrees! Thank you Xiaofan!”
About: As a dog owner, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness always come first, and I treat every pet like my own with attentive, reliable, and loving care. I have experience caring for one pet to multiple pets at a time, from energetic puppies to senior dogs, as well as cats and even fish. I’m comfortable managing different routines, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and safely administering medications when needed, while making sure every pet feels calm, secure, and loved. I offer walks, drop-ins, pick-ups and drop-offs for appointments, and overnight stays while you’re away. If our dogs get along, I’m also happy to host doggy sleepovers at my home with transportation provided.
“So happy Min was able to take Finn! He gets excited every time he hears her name, and runs into her house without looking back.

I highly recommend her- Thank you Min!”

I currently work full time from home — I’ll still be able to bring them outside to play/potty, can still feed them at their scheduled times. I have a fenced in yard so they will be able to go and run outside to play with each other. I can also crate your dog if he/she needs a break.
About: Animals have been a part of my life since I was a child—I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs, cats, and other pets, and I truly see them as family. I have two cats, Bleu and Theodore who are my absolute world, and I treat every pet I care for with the same love, patience, and attention as I give my own. What sets me apart from other sitters is my natural connection with animals and my commitment to creating a safe, calm, and happy environment tailored to each pet’s personality and needs. I have experience with a wide range of animals, including high-energy puppies, shy or anxious pets, and senior dogs and cats who need extra TLC. I’m reliable, intuitive, and attentive to small details—whether it’s sticking to a feeding schedule, recognizing signs of stress, or making sure your pet gets their favorite toy before bedtime. I go the extra mile to make sure your pet feels comfortable, secure, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, cuddles, or quiet companionship, I’m here to make your pet feel at home even when they’re not! Right now, pet care is my top priority—I’m not working another job, so I have full availability to dedicate to your pets. This means I’m flexible with scheduling, whether you need early morning walks, midday check-ins, overnight stays, or last-minute bookings. Because I’m not juggling other commitments, I can give your pet the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. I’m here to make your life easier and your pet’s day happier—every single time! When caring for pets in your home, I stick closely to your routines to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for just like you’re there. I keep things tidy, follow any feeding or medication schedules, and provide plenty of attention, playtime, and love. If your pet is staying at my home, I ask that you bring their crate, leash, food, and anything else that helps them feel secure and settled (like their favorite toy or blanket). I’ll make sure they have a cozy, clean space, regular walks, and lots of affection throughout their stay. Whether we’re out for a walk or having a quiet day inside, I treat every pet like my own—with patience, love, and care tailored to their personality and needs.
“Cheryl has a great setup and is a dog lover and incredible resource! We had a meet and greet prior to the day I dropped off my 4 month old puppy and I felt at ease leaving her there (her first daycare experience which could’ve been nerve wracking but I knew she’d be in great hands). My pup was tired from playing and learning from the other dogs there and slept so well after! I will be using Cheryl’s services again in the future!”

“Emily is a fantastic, wonderfully caring dog walker / pet care taker. We use her services for daily weekday walks for both of our dogs which have very different needs ( a 14 yr old golden doodle with mobility issues and a 10 yr old lab that still thinks she's 3 yr old spring chicken). She has also house sat over a navigation for us so that they didn't have to go into a kennel. She is trustworthy, communicative and extremely kind. You'd be fortunate to have her services.”

About: Since I was a kid I was surrounded by animals! At 7 years old I was given then responsibility to take care of my own life long best friend I named Sandy, who grew up with me for 15 years until 2021. Throughout the time and especially after I have always jumped at the opportunity to take care of my friends and family’s pets! Some of my favorites are my older sister’s three energetic pups: Benjamin, Buttons and Bleu who love to run in the yard and play ALL day! I also love taking care of my other sister’s two cats: Lulu and Phoebe who enjoy a quiet night in full of cuddles and head scratches! I also spend a lot of time dog sitting my best friend’s 1 year old Boxer who is full of energy and loves treats! In the summer of 2023 we went on daily walks around the neighborhood and on special occasions we would go on Starbucks Pup-cup runs which she loved! Overall, I’ve been around dogs and cats of all ages and have had a lot of fun throughout it! Pet care fits into my schedule since I work remotely the majority of the week! I am also a senior at the University of Massachusetts Amherst which allows me to have a lot of flexibility with my class schedule! I have my own apartment which is quiet and pet friendly! I especially have tons of time on the weekend to take care of pets for a longer duration of time! I live at an apartment which is 100% pet friendly. It is surrounded by many side streets which are great for going on long walks and exploring the area. My apartment is quiet and has space for a crate if needed. I own pet bowls, dog and cat toys, and can be easily puppy or kitty proofed if need be!!

“We booked our 9-year old Golden "puppy" for a 4 night stay with Peter and his family and we are very happy that we chose Peter. He and his family took good care of our pup and Peter sent an update everyday. When we cam back to pick up our pup it was clear that she wanted to stay, nudging us back to the house and away from the car. Thanks guys for taking such good care of our pup!”

About: I am a dog lover who has dogs my whole adult life. I have many friends and neighbors with dogs of all sizes that I have spent time with and babysat as needed! I am an elementary teacher with availability on weekends and during the summer I have much greater daily availability. I have a 5 year old friendly and submissive lab mix. My dog likes to play at times, but at other times wants to have her space. Our house is like a home away from home for visiting pets!! I have a large fenced in yard and a very friendly 5 year old lab mix who is always looking to meet and welcome new friends. I am an avid walker and used to walking 2 dogs at time.
About: I have had dogs since I was born. My current dog, Ollie, is 1 year old. One of my previous dogs, who has since passed, had diabetes and required insulin shots and went blind but I took care of her for years after her diagnosis before she passed from natural causes. I love dogs, they make the world a brighter place! I work 3 days a week (or nights) so I have four days off a week. It can change depending on my schedule or I can request certain days off to fit someone else’s schedule with enough notice. I live in a house with several parks in the immediate area to keep your dog occupied! I have a lot of patience when taking care of dogs/puppies.
“Philip did a great job watching my dog Tucker. He provided updates and pictures, and read and followed my instructions about his care which made me feel comfortable while away. I’d recommend him!”
“Williana was amazing at watching our two dogs over the weekend! She is a very thoughtful pet parent and asked me all the right questions on how to provide the best care for my pups. She was always in touch with updates through out the stay and made it very easy for us to be out of town knowing our dogs are in good hands. Highly recommend her, especially with a large fenced backyard is a dream for any dog! Will book again! Thank you!”
“Frankie and Alice had a great time with Ralph, great walks and lots of cuddling for Alice. Frankie needs regular pills to stay healthy and he came back in better shape than when I dropped him off. Definitely will be a repeat customer!”
