“Kourtney was great with our pup, Carl. Carl is an energetic guy and Kourtney provided all that he needed in his 9 day stay. Kourtney’s communication with us before and during his stay was professional and timely. We would use Kourtney’s services again 💯.”
“Our dog Sara had an absolutely fabulous time at Judy's home. Judy is so friendly, and her dog Rosie became our dog's best friend instantly! There is plenty of comfortable indoor and outdoor space for dogs to roam around, and lots of toys. We're so thankful for Judy and her wonderful doggie care!”
About: I have spent my entire life around animals so caring for them has always come naturally to me. I grew up in a household with over 40 animals, including dogs, cats, and exotic pets. I have spent years working in a small locally owned pet store in my home town taking care of exotics, before moving into kennel work at a vet’s office. I have experience in giving medications to dogs and cats in different methods, and monitoring their health afterwards. My primary role was offering our boarding pets the comfort of a home away from home. I’m a reptile dad every day, taking care of my own snake and bearded dragon babies. I’m currently home every day with time and love to give to other pets and their people who need an extra hand. I have a big room with a comfy bed that they can lay on in a nice couch that we can sit and watch shows on. I also have a fenced in yard outback that I can take them in to play, but I have a spacious cemetery up and across the street that is great for leash walks as well. I also have various toys and litter boxes as well.
“Tracy was so sweet, very responsive, and you could tell she loves animals. She sent updates with pictures regularly and o could see he was so cared for. My dog Kanan came home a very happy pup! Thank you again Tracy!”
“Marshall my cardigan welsh corgi was in great hands with Phil! Superb meet and greet where I could immediately tell Phil has the multiple dog boarding down to a science. He was patient when Marshall has a couple of inside accidents and kept in communication with pictures throughout our trip . 10/10 will book again!”
“Amazing! This was the first time we left our cat with a sitter so we were a little worried but we got pictures and updates every day. Her children loved playing with my kitty and we were able to have a getaway knowing our girl was very very well taken care of.”
“Thank you Riven for taking in Remi on such short notice. I appreciate the help so much!! Remi liked being there so definitely would like to have you sit for her again.”
About: I've owned and cared for animals since high school. In addition to dogs and cats, I've owned horses since I was 16. I have been\am a foster parent for the Animal Rescue League of Boston since 2020. I'm a former puppy foster for service dogs and participated with early puppy training. I have carried those skills over to training other foster puppies and my personal dog. I have a medical background (EMT) and my daughter is a Vet Tech so I am very comfortable working with animals with medical needs and will follow any required medical plan. In addition to dogs and cats, I'd love to meet\care for your backyard farm animals; horses, pot-bellied pigs, chickens, goats, sheep, etc. I have experience with some of these animals through ownership and fostering opportunities. I'm open to meeting and learning about new friends. We currently have 4 dogs, 4 cats, and 2 horses in our home. All our animals are our babies and I'll care for yours as if they were my own. I'm currently unemployed so I'll have plenty of time to spend with your pets. I'm available for petsitting any day of the week and can work around any personal appointments. Boarding in my home is restricted to cats or other small animals. Puppies (under 1 year) may be accomodated, no adult dogs. For cats; we have a dedicated "cat room" to keep your pet separated from our pets. The room has a screen door so they don't feel locked away and can be part of our household while remaining safe. I will follow your pet care plan while in your home. For Puppies; all dogs are fed separately to avoid food aggression situations. All puppies will be crated for meals and sleeping overnight. If your puppy is not crate trained, I will work with them to ensure they are comfortable and not afraid. I can support your potty training schedule to maintain consistency.
“Matt is absolutely amazing. He really took care of my dog during the 40 days we were away. He sent pics and videos daily and he's really responsive to questions and requests. My dog had a good time with Matt. I would definitely recommend Matt to anyone who needs boarding service.”
About: I’ve been working for a company based out of Sudbury Ma for 5 years and I’m just looking for extra work :) I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, ages etc. I have worked with dogs of all temperaments as well. Would love to get to know your pet :) I work full time walking/ pet sitting for a company Monday - Friday and weekends for sitting. I’m looking to expand to some new clients! I could even bring your dog with me for the day on walks with other dogs if I’m sitting them and they would be up for it I can stay in someone’s home or have someone’s dog/ dogs stay in my home if they are friendly with other dogs as I do have my own dog
“We have used luiz and his beautiful family for several doggy day care options but this was the first time they boarded walter for us. Walter is a young man with an abundance of energy and they made sure he had plenty of play time and also rest time. I really appreciated the pictures and videos I was sent throughout the day as it really helps ease my mind being away from my babies! Will definitely use him again!!”
About: I've had numerous variety of pets my whole life, Worked in pet retail for a time, and genuinely feel I understand animals more than people sometimes. Currently I'm between more traditional 9-5 employment, so I have the time and space to give the care needed for the little (or big) ones. I am open to discussing the individual needs of every client, but the basics of walking, feeding, just plain old attention are well within my capacity. Happy to help facilitate any training that is being done as well.
“Bradleigh was absolutely great!! I brought my dog Joey to stay with her and her family for the weekend. It was my girlfriend’s birthday and she made it possible for me!! Ive had Rover with other people before but Bradleigh is the best! I would recommend her to any pet owner who’s looking for dog walks, boarding, and more. I am absolutely thankful to her and her family for taking care of my baby like it was theirs. He came home super happy! I will definitely bring Joey back with her and her family.”
“If there were 10 stars, Ralph would get them all. Our first booking and it was flawless. Our energetic young dog was exercised on long walks and played with a lot. Ralph is great managing multiple dogs ensuring safe playtime, careful introductions and lots of love. Great visit, everyone had fun. We'll be back!”
About: I have been around animals of all kinds for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family had horses, dogs, cats bunnies, guinea pigs, birds - you name it, we probably had at least one! I absolutely love dogs and currently have a very high energy pit bull names Bizzy. He is a total sweetheart and loves all other living creatures, but he does need a lot of exercise. Luckily for both of us, lots of exercise happens to be my favorite thing! I am a marathon runner and love to take dogs for long walks or even runs if that’s what they need. I know that all dogs are individuals, so I want to get to know every dog I care for. If your dog needs a long run - great! If your dog needs cuddles and quiet time - awesome! I look forward to getting to know you and your pups! I work from home and love hanging out with dogs. During work breaks or on the weekends, I love fitting in hikes with dog friends. I’m happy to care for dogs in my home as long as they can get along with my dog and cat. If I’m in their home, I will always try to go above and beyond to keep the dogs happy and comfortable.

“Katherine took excellent care of my kitties. This was the 1st time I left them for more than 24 hours and since getting them. I had no clue how they would be with me away. I was worried about how it would go especially since one was a food thief. She took extra care to make sure my slow eater got his share and she kept in close contact as to if he was getting enough to eat. I had used her once previously for my now decreased blind senior cat. She took such great care of my old cat I didn't think twice about booking her for my new kitties. I would book her again in a heartbeat.”
“Amy is absolutely amazing!! She sent a thorough report of her time with my Archie and not only did she send a bunch of photos she took QUALITY photos!! I highly recommend her and will be re booking with her. Don’t look any further ! Thank you Amy!”
“I highly recommend Kayla G. My dogs are very spoiled and do not really like people who do not live in our house, but they love her. I have asked Kayla back a few times so I could go away on vacation and she was very communicative and took great care of them.”
About: I’ve had two cats of my own, I work with cats currently for my full time job! Anywhere from feeding them, taking care of there liter box or just need some pets/ loving while the family isn’t home! I love all there different personalities :)
“Priscilla was awesome with our three kitties. Two of them are very skittish with strangers and she got one of them to warm up to her to the point where he allowed her to pat him. She asked for various tips to make the cats comfortable with her. We would definitely ask her to come back!”
“Theresa is very attentive! As soon as we met her, we saw how much she instantly cared for our two cats, Sushi and Olive. So many cute pictures too to assure us they were having a great time. We highly recommend Theresa and will book with her again.”
“Blaise was great with our cat, Beefaroni. Blaise was always on time, stayed for the whole 30 minutes and gave us cute pictures and nice updates. We felt very secure leaving Beefy with Blaise and knew he was in good hands. So glad we got to work with him and that he took such good care of our special boy. We would happily book again.”

“This was the first time Bailey has been left with someone. Phillip and Chelsea sent me pics throughout the day. They are very experienced with dogs, super friendly and very accommodating with scheduling. The fenced in back yard is perfect to let her roam around and play with other dogs. Bailey will be back soon! I highly recommend them to babysit you're baby. She had a blast and is now sleeping like baby.”

About: Hi all! I have lots of experience walking and caring for dogs/pups and cats. My very first pup was a chihuahua at around age 5. Since then my love for animals grew. I've had several Siamese cats, aquatic fish and dogs growing up. I've walked and cared for many different pups around town (just about all breeds) and I can assure your furry friend is in good hands. In our house I have a 13 year old son, a 2 year old daughter, three turtles, bearded dragon and several fish. Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. I can provide you with several references, past employer and client related. I can also pick up/drop off to make things easier. Thank you!
About: I have had indoor cats for the past 24 years. I have pet sat for dogs and cats personally. I have house sat twice for a dachshund and doberman. These were contacts from my mom’s pet sitting job years ago. I had a beta fish for about 3 years. I can walk and play with the dogs and cats, feed them, etc. I will provide what is going on and what is being done, sharing pictures and videos as much is wanted. I currently work full time Monday through Friday. I can work from anywhere. I am available evenings during the week and available on the weekend. This is a side hustle and to offer some help for anyone that need it. We have a dog and a cat. We aren’t sure how our dog and cat would be to other pets in our home. I am happy to come to yours. Whatever is needed.

“Maggie is awesome!!! Kallie had a great day with her. Took her out to the doggy park and tired her out!! Def my go to next time I need a pet sitter for the day! Thank you so much!!!”
“Ralph is amazing with dogs. He took care of my dog in a pinch and very last minute and he not only was flexible but also very kind and loving to my dog. My dog took to him right away, dogs know dog lovers! His updates and pictures he shared of my dog throughout the day showed a happy puppy! My dog came home and just slept, he exercised so much with Ralph. I will definitely hire him again for doggy day care and boarding.”
“Jenna was great with my pup Lily! She’s watched her twice now and the second time Lily ran straight to her door and strolled right in when I dropped her off. I know my girl is totally safe and happy with Jenna, highly recommend :)”
About: I have had pets all my life and adore animals. I enjoy taking the time to play with the dogs, and giving them the love and attention that they need. The Townsend Rail Trail is right near my house, and I am able to enjoy multiple daily walks with my 4 year old Jack Russell Terrier, Loki, on that trail. At this time I are unable to accommodate dogs who are aggressive, or dogs who are not house trained. I currently work from Home, so I am able to devote plenty of time to ensuring that the dogs get plenty of love and attention throughout the day. My daughter also enjoy spending time with any dogs that I have at the house giving them extra love and attention throughout the day, always supervised and as appropriate with each dog. My yard is not fenced in, so a dog would be leashed to play in the yard, but I have a dog runs to enable the dogs to enjoy some time running freely in the grass each day. I am able to separate the dogs as needed and for feeding times to ensure that they remain stress free. We are able to accommodate crate training schedules as needed, our dog is only crate trained at night. We are home most of the time, but if we do leave the house we ensure that the dogs are not left alone for extended periods and we are able to seperate them safely while out of the house without crating them unless requested. We do have two cats, but as our dog does not get along with them we have them separated upstairs from the dogs and all pets are 100% safe. The dogs have free run of the downstairs and the cats have free run of the upstairs all day so that everyone remains safe and happy with no issues!
About: I have lot's of experience in pet care. I walked dogs, pet and house sat for many years in my 20s and after moving to Lancaster a few years ago began pet-sitting again here. My wife and I work from home, which allows us to spend all day with our beloved Havenese Geordi. We all enjoy having other dogs come to play and stay! My wife and I both work from home. My office has a back door out to our fenced in yard so I am able to let the dogs out pretty much anytime they like. I can't even count how many times a day my dog goes out back. I also like to take the dogs on a stroll around the block before and after work. As mentioned I have a fenced in yard and a Havanese who loves to have dog guests to play with and stay over. We give all the dogs lots attention and always make sure their needs are met.
About: I have 14+ years experience in the veterinary field. Learning about animal behaviors, preventative care and physical health is a passion of mine. I am a very well rounded animal enthusiast that loves to stay busy. Some of my extracurriculars include training my Australian shepherd, whether it’s dock diving, agility or overall obedience. I will hold each pet to standards that support good manners, so some training may be associated with my services. I strive to exercise your fur babies intellectually as well as physically. I am very detailed oriented, and consider myself very observant. I’m not afraid to communicate and ask questions regarding your pets’ needs. I would be caring for your pet around my typical work schedule, which is M-F ~8-6pm, but I can always drop in mid day during lunch. Communicating your expectations so I may practice proper time management is important for a successful and stress free pet sitting job. I have a very well socialized 5yo male, 50lb, Australian shepherd, Oshie and he loves to play. Additionally I can provide walks, and play sessions. Hikes are also supported.
About: My journey with animals didn't start with a job. It started at age 10, the moment my first cat came into my life. Since then, animals have never left my world. I grew up alongside a beloved Shih Tzu who was part of our family for 16 beautiful years, teaching me firsthand what devoted, long-term care truly looks like. Beyond my own pets, I've built hands-on pet-sitting experience with a wide range of animals and breeds, from energetic Golden Retrievers to the regal Maine Coon and the spirited Scottish kitten. I understand that every animal has its own personality, pace, and needs. No matter the age, breed, or temperament, your pet will be treated like family here. Pet care fits into my routine really easily because I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to give dogs lots of attention throughout the day. That means plenty of walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and just being around so they feel cared for and not left alone for too long. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, keeping them active, entertained, and comfortable, and making sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I live in a condo with its own backyard, and while it isn’t fenced, I’m very mindful about safety and always keep dogs secure during outside time. The area around us has plenty of green space, which makes walks much more enjoyable and gives dogs lots of room to explore, sniff, and play. I always focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, whether I’m in my home or in your home, and I pay close attention to their routine, behavior, and needs.

About: I have spent my entire life around animals so caring for them has always come naturally to me. I grew up in a household with over 40 animals, including dogs, cats, and exotic pets. I have spent years working in a small locally owned pet store in my home town taking care of exotics, before moving into kennel work at a vet’s office. I have experience in giving medications to dogs and cats in different methods, and monitoring their health afterwards. My primary role was offering our boarding pets the comfort of a home away from home. I’m a reptile dad every day, taking care of my own snake and bearded dragon babies. I’m currently home every day with time and love to give to other pets and their people who need an extra hand. I have a big room with a comfy bed that they can lay on in a nice couch that we can sit and watch shows on. I also have a fenced in yard outback that I can take them in to play, but I have a spacious cemetery up and across the street that is great for leash walks as well. I also have various toys and litter boxes as well.
About: My love for my own pets inspired me to continue working with animals during college! With a major in psychology and a goal of working with therapy animals in the future, I love learning and growing as much as I can. I have professional experience in animal shelters, and a therapy animal program! I'm hoping to spend more time gaining experience working with animals. Not only is it enjoyable to hangout with furry friends, but it will be beneficial to my future career working in animal assisted therapy! I recognize that every animal is different with their own little personality. Hearing from owners about their recommendations, and getting to know the animal has never failed!

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with decades of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. From my earliest memories, dogs have been part of my life—not just as pets, but as true family members. Over the years, I’ve been a dedicated “dog dad” through every stage of a dog’s life, from energetic puppies to senior companions requiring extra patience and care. I’ve also supported dogs through times of illness, so I understand how important it is to be attentive, gentle, and responsive to their needs. I pride myself on being kind, conscientious, reliable, and patient. When you trust me with your dog, you can expect professionalism, clear communication, and genuine care. I treat every dog as if they were my own—because I know they are a beloved part of your family. With my life experience comes a calm and steady approach, which helps me handle unexpected situations with confidence and good judgment. Whether it’s a daily walk, companionship, or extra attention while you’re away, your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! I do freelance work and am able to design my own work schedule. I like to stay busy and am amenable to dog-walking or pet-sitting at hours others may not be able to accommodate. I care for every pet as if they were my own family member. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully to maintain the dog’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and rest. I understand that consistency helps pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m reliable, patient, attentive, and respectful of both the pet and the client’s home. I also provide regular updates and photos so parents can feel confident that their pets are receiving loving, professional care. With years of experience caring for dogs of many breeds and ages, including senior dogs and dogs with special needs, I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s personality and needs.
“I came in from our of town for a family gathering and needed a last minute walker for my dog. Jeffery was great with communicating with me for the last minute need. Was great handling Denise (my 2.5 year old had) and they had a nice hour long stroll around the neighborhood. Would recommend”

“We have been working with Blaise for a few weeks now, and we are so happy we found him! He is flexible, reliable, professional, affordable, and extremely punctual. He is highly communicative and easy to get ahold of. He is always flexible with any last minute changes, and he always arrives exactly when he says he will. We are so glad we found someone who we can trust so highly, and who our dog loves so much! Our dog is our baby and we know he is safe and happy with Blaise. If you are looking for a dog walker, look no further than Blaise!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life making me a true animal lover! I have experience both walking and dog sitting all sorts of dogs. I also had the pleasure of working at an animal shelter for a few years. I would love to get to know your dogs and help out with them as much as I can! I am currently a junior in college at Fairfield university. This semester I am available on Monday and Thursday afternoons between 1pm and 5pm and Wednesdays all day, 8:30am-5pm. I am also around on other days which we can chat about if need be! I can take care of your pet at your house. I would love to take them for walks or play with them off leash in a fenced in yard!
About: I love animals and have been around them as long as I can remember. I have extensive experience with dogs and cats, from birth to their last breath. I believe in positive reinforcement training. I am very loving and treat all animals with respect but can be strict when required for safety. With me your babies will feel like they are at home away from home. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I am available almost always and your fur babies will have lots of love and company. I have a large grassy yard, and I live near a pond and multiple trails. I also have a Chihuahua mix girl, who is very friendly and loves making new friends.
“Bonnie did a great job introducing our new puppy to the neighborhood. She fed, watered, and walked him each day, right on time. I love the pics! They helped put this new fur mama's mind at ease. We look forward to the next vacation week to hire Bonnie again.”
About: I've owned and cared for animals since high school. In addition to dogs and cats, I've owned horses since I was 16. I have been\am a foster parent for the Animal Rescue League of Boston since 2020. I'm a former puppy foster for service dogs and participated with early puppy training. I have carried those skills over to training other foster puppies and my personal dog. I have a medical background (EMT) and my daughter is a Vet Tech so I am very comfortable working with animals with medical needs and will follow any required medical plan. In addition to dogs and cats, I'd love to meet\care for your backyard farm animals; horses, pot-bellied pigs, chickens, goats, sheep, etc. I have experience with some of these animals through ownership and fostering opportunities. I'm open to meeting and learning about new friends. We currently have 4 dogs, 4 cats, and 2 horses in our home. All our animals are our babies and I'll care for yours as if they were my own. I'm currently unemployed so I'll have plenty of time to spend with your pets. I'm available for petsitting any day of the week and can work around any personal appointments. Boarding in my home is restricted to cats or other small animals. Puppies (under 1 year) may be accomodated, no adult dogs. For cats; we have a dedicated "cat room" to keep your pet separated from our pets. The room has a screen door so they don't feel locked away and can be part of our household while remaining safe. I will follow your pet care plan while in your home. For Puppies; all dogs are fed separately to avoid food aggression situations. All puppies will be crated for meals and sleeping overnight. If your puppy is not crate trained, I will work with them to ensure they are comfortable and not afraid. I can support your potty training schedule to maintain consistency.
About: Dogs have always been an important part of my life. I grew up with samoyeds and see them as members of the family, best friends, and the most loyal, loving companions. I have years of experience walking dogs, have attended puppy training classes, have experience with dogs of all ages, and have watched pets for friends and family. Rover combines two of my favorite activities, being active and hanging out with dogs. I am here to provide the high-quality care and attention your dog deserves, as well as peace of mind and convenience amid your busy schedule. I recognize and value the individuality of each dog. Their needs and happiness are my top priority. I will care for each animal as I would my own. 🐾 I’m a recent graduate in the medical field currently credentialing and interviewing. I have some new availability throughout this transition and look forward to being of service! I will follow your pet’s routine to ensure their comfort, happiness, and safety. I am very observant and detail-oriented, paying close attention to your dog, the surroundings, and anticipating needs.
About: I've had a connection with animals since I can remember. I've cared for cats and dogs and have cleaned litter boxes, and have walked many miles in those decades. I'm currently working almost full-time as a school librarian so my availability is weekdays after 4pm, Wednesdays after 2pm. Weekends are open for pet care as are holidays and school vacation weeks. I love to give a dogs plenty of playtime, snuggles, belly and ear scritches, short walks, and long walks. Fresh water always available. And get them moving to work out those zoomies in their system!

“We have used luiz and his beautiful family for several doggy day care options but this was the first time they boarded walter for us. Walter is a young man with an abundance of energy and they made sure he had plenty of play time and also rest time. I really appreciated the pictures and videos I was sent throughout the day as it really helps ease my mind being away from my babies! Will definitely use him again!!”
About: I've had numerous variety of pets my whole life, Worked in pet retail for a time, and genuinely feel I understand animals more than people sometimes. Currently I'm between more traditional 9-5 employment, so I have the time and space to give the care needed for the little (or big) ones. I am open to discussing the individual needs of every client, but the basics of walking, feeding, just plain old attention are well within my capacity. Happy to help facilitate any training that is being done as well.
“Bradleigh was absolutely great!! I brought my dog Joey to stay with her and her family for the weekend. It was my girlfriend’s birthday and she made it possible for me!! Ive had Rover with other people before but Bradleigh is the best! I would recommend her to any pet owner who’s looking for dog walks, boarding, and more. I am absolutely thankful to her and her family for taking care of my baby like it was theirs. He came home super happy! I will definitely bring Joey back with her and her family.”
“If there were 10 stars, Ralph would get them all. Our first booking and it was flawless. Our energetic young dog was exercised on long walks and played with a lot. Ralph is great managing multiple dogs ensuring safe playtime, careful introductions and lots of love. Great visit, everyone had fun. We'll be back!”
About: I have been around animals of all kinds for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family had horses, dogs, cats bunnies, guinea pigs, birds - you name it, we probably had at least one! I absolutely love dogs and currently have a very high energy pit bull names Bizzy. He is a total sweetheart and loves all other living creatures, but he does need a lot of exercise. Luckily for both of us, lots of exercise happens to be my favorite thing! I am a marathon runner and love to take dogs for long walks or even runs if that’s what they need. I know that all dogs are individuals, so I want to get to know every dog I care for. If your dog needs a long run - great! If your dog needs cuddles and quiet time - awesome! I look forward to getting to know you and your pups! I work from home and love hanging out with dogs. During work breaks or on the weekends, I love fitting in hikes with dog friends. I’m happy to care for dogs in my home as long as they can get along with my dog and cat. If I’m in their home, I will always try to go above and beyond to keep the dogs happy and comfortable.
“My dog Miko seems to have enjoyed his stay at Sara's place. He came back all relaxed, complete opposite experience of leaving him in a pet hotel where he came back agitated for many days. Sara's place is perfect with a big fenced garden so he could play freely with her dog and others. I can only recommend her.”
“Haley was great with our Dog. Now that are children are grown and out of the house, our Dog is like a child to us, Haley kept us informed of his daily activities with photos and messages and also gave us updates on his mood. She was also flexible when we had an unexpected issue crop up in regards to pick up. I would highly recommend Haley for your boarding or other needs for your dog, we will definitely use her again if the need arises.”
“Jo takes wonderful care of our dog. I highly recommend her, as I always feel confident our pup is getting great care, exercise and attention in a lovely home environment. Thank you Jo!”
