“Have used Emily once again and couldn’t be more happy with her updates and photos of Forest while I was traveling. Highly recommend her services if you need any kind of pet sitting.”
“We couldn’t have been happier with Jada’s stay at Luiz’s house! They sent pictures and videos showing how well she was doing. We were sad to leave her, but she was in such great hands. Jada made lots of friends, and was very exhausted when we took her home. We will definitely be reaching out to Luiz again next time we need a dog sitter!”
“Bojack loved staying with Kourtney! He is a fourteen years old. I like that Kourtney has a background in veterinary medicine. Not only did that make me trust her with his daily meds, it was nice knowing that there was a trained eye on him. Bojack is overly bonded to me to the point that he often sits by the window waiting for me to return when I go out. The biggest compliment to Kourtney's care is that when we picked him up, he greeted me with enthusiasm but not anywhere near the crazy welcome I usually get, AND he kept looking back at Kourtney as if he was unsure whether he wanted to leave! We will definitely have her watch him again.”
“I couldn’t feel more comfortable leaving my dogs with anyone else. The girls settle right in with Judy and are not that anxious to leave when I come to get them. Love her sweet dog Rosey 😊”
“Another 5 Star visit! Michael and his family are so wonderful! Ghost is happy to see Michael every time we pull into the driveway. It makes me so happy to know Ghost has a fun time when I can't take him with me. Thank you!”
“Emerald was amazing. My Sawyer loved being there, which made me feel so much better knowing that someone will give him a one on one attention, even though she has her own dog. She also made me feel like Sawyer was her own and did everything with Sawyer that her dog does. I would absolutely go back again as long as she would have Sawyer back.”
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!”
“Phillip took great care of my little old man. He was accommodating with our last minute request. Jake can be a bit of an odd ball but Phillip went with it and Jake seemed to enjoy his time there.”
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
About: I've been around animals my whole life and currently have two pet goats who we spoil like dogs. We have 30 acres of beautiful land surrounded by woods, which is a perfect haven for running, fetch, and all sorts of outdoor shenanigans. I work remotely from home with a flexible schedule. I typically work a few hours in the morning, and then am outside working on projects and playing with the animals all day. We have a large property (about 30 acres) surrounded by woods with lots of room for your dog to run and explore. We also live near some great hiking trails.
About: I grew up with labs, mastiffs, collies, and shepherds. I treat my dogs better than my family at times! Play, comfort, and love are staples. I work full-time during the week, but am home most weekends with my 11 month old socialized lab. My dog receives daily exercise and active play and yours will too! I will ensure your dog’s safety and your peace of mind by taking them out on leash for walks and bathroom breaks. I value active play time and also work in rest times.
“Was very communicative and great with my dog. Took blue on multiple runs and hour long walks, which really helps her when she’s feeling anxious away from home. Would definitely recommend.”
“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 have had/ have all sorts of different animals my whole life and have a lot of experience dogs and cats especially. Growing up I had a German shepherd and a husky (Layla and Harley) I used to take them for walks everyday with I woke up before I had to get on the bus for school. When I got back took them for another. I also have had cats my whole life. At one point my family had 10 cats. Some were ours and some we fostered until they could find there forever homes. We always made sure to have all our pets fixed and up to date with shots and microchipped. So I would love to spend some time with ur furry friends and make sure they have fun while your out having fun! I work Monday through Friday 7 to 3:30. My weekends are always open whenever you would need me. And before and after work I could take them on walks/ sit. For safety, I always make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, well-fed, and hydrated. I pay close attention to each pet’s needs and routines to help them feel safe and stress-free. I keep a clean environment, provide regular potty breaks and exercise, and make sure all pets are treated with patience, love, and care while they are with me.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 6 years, and what sets me apart is my hands-on experience and personal dedication. I successfully trained my own dog from 4 months old to ring a bell when he needed to go potty, bark to communicate when he needed to go outside, and follow basic commands like sit and wait. I’ve also cared for senior pets and have experience adding medication to food for both dogs and cats. I genuinely love connecting with animals and take pride in providing calm, consistent, and attentive care tailored to each pet’s needs. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets my full attention throughout the day—whether that’s for walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company. I’m reliable, punctual, and happy to follow your pet’s usual routine to keep them comfortable and cared for. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, clean environment with a spacious, secure yard where they can play and relax. When caring for pets in apartments or condos in Boston, I’ve had great experiences following each pet’s routine closely, ensuring they feel comfortable and safe. I always prioritize cleanliness, clear communication with pet parents, and a calm, respectful approach in any space I enter.
“Paul was great with my sweet girl. He took the time to get to know her and make me feel more comfortable about leaving my baby with a new person. He treated her well and I was happy to get the updates. Nora was lucky to spend the time with him. ??”
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.

“Taylor was great with my 2 cats! I have one very shy cat who typically hides under my bed whenever anyone unfamiliar is here but he came out to say hello to her! Would very much recommend!”

I had peace of mind knowing he was being taken care of while I was away. I liked the pictures she sent with the daily visit update. I would definitely recommend Emily if you need someone to tale care of your pets while ypu are away.”
About: I’ve been around cats my whole life. I’m patient, kind, and compassionate. I am calm and love cats. They are all individuals and respond well by respecting their boundaries.

I will play with them with wands or toys as they wish to engage. Just hanging out with them is nice.

About: I have had dogs and cats, and also a horse for most of my life! My current dog is a 10 year old rescue from Tennessee, and he’s the love of my life. I’ve worked very hard with a trainer with my pup, so I have some experience there. I volunteered at the humane society and ASPCA for many years off and on, and I also fostered dogs throughout college. Safe to say I have plenty of hands on experience with all sorts of pets :). I am working full time, but I have a somewhat flexible schedule! I have plenty of time throughout the day to spend some time with whatever pet needs the attention! In my home, my dog is pretty spoiled :). He is my main priority, as it is just him and myself, and it’s been that way for years! As far as other people’s pets in their home, I will follow any instructions in detail that are provided, but above all I will make sure the pet is happy and healthy and comfortable!

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.

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.

About: I’ve always loved animals and have spent many years helping friends and family take care of their pets. It’s something that brings me a lot of joy. Over the years, I’ve looked after all kinds of pets — from energetic pit bulls and bulldogs to small dogs like Shih Tzus and even cats. Sometimes I’ve stayed in people’s homes for a week or two, and other times I’ve just stopped by for walks or check-ins. I’ve also welcomed pets into my own home when friends needed someone they could trust. I have a calm, friendly personality and get along well with animals, even if we’re meeting for the first time. I’m always careful to notice when a pet might be nervous or needs some space, and I do my best to make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. My schedule is very flexible since I work a per diem job and can choose when to take shifts. This gives me plenty of time for pet sitting, walks, or overnight stays. I’m usually available on short notice, too. The only thing I plan ahead for is care for my own cat while I’m away, but that’s easy for me to arrange — so it won’t affect my availability or reliability. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible — feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddles just the way they’re used to. I make sure they feel safe and cared for while their family is away. If a pet stays in my home, I treat them like one of my own. I create a calm, cozy environment with plenty of love, attention, and playtime. I also make sure to follow any specific instructions from the owner so each pet’s needs are met. I’m gentle, patient, and understanding of different personalities — whether a pet is shy and needs space or energetic and ready to play.
“Tracy was such a good sitter for our dog! She had great communication and was very friendly and accommodating to our schedule. She provided plenty of photos and updates as well. We’ll definitely book her again if we need a sitter!”
About: I've been caring for dogs for over 25 years and truly believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and understood. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, from tiny Chihuahuas to large breeds, as well as puppies, energetic adults, and senior dogs who require extra patience, medication, or special care. I'm naturally calm, dependable, and attentive to each pet's individual personality and routine. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply quiet companionship, I adapt my care to what makes them happiest. My goal is to keep their routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable while you're away. As someone who works for myself, I have the flexibility to provide reliable daytime care and give each visit my full attention. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring hands. I treat every pet as if they were one of my own. I work for myself, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide dependable, personalized care for your pets. I'm available Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, medication, and companionship. I always do my best to be punctual, reliable, and accommodate your pet's routine. Your pet's comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. I believe pets feel most secure when their normal routine is maintained, so I take the time to learn their habits, preferences, and any special needs. I'll care for your home with the same respect I would my own, provide regular updates with photos, and treat every pet like a member of my own family.
About: My journey as a pet caretaker began early, with the responsibility of taking care of family and friends' pets. I offer attentive and personalized care, adapting to the individual needs of each pet, including specific diets, medication schedules and exercise routines. I guarantee safety, affection and a lot of fun, keeping tutors informed with regular updates. Your pet will be in an environment of love and trust. My passion for animals allows me to integrate pet care into my daily routine in a very flexible way. Although I have a current commitment, I am looking for more opportunities in the area of pet care and I dedicate myself to it. I can adapt to your pet's schedules for daily visits and walks, with great availability in the afternoons, evenings and every weekend, ensuring that your pet receives constant attention. Each pet is treated with the utmost affection and constant supervision to ensure its safety at all times. In the customer's environment, I focus on maintaining the established routine and creating a calm and fun space. If it's on tours, I use adequate safety equipment.

About: I've had experience with pets for as long as I can remember. growing up we've always had a house of fur-babies. I am 36 years old and a mom of three humans, a bearded dragon, and 4 tree frogs that I adore. I work at PetSmart in the grooming salon, so I deal with all sizes, ages and breeds of dogs. I have about 5 years of experience at PetSmart, and I genuinely love my job. I graduated with a certificate of law enforcement in hopes to be an Animal Control Officer. My passion for animals runs deep and always has been. I've also had a year of experience with a variety of different animals while working at Davis Farmland. I know how scary it is to go on vacation or a long day of work and leave your babies behind. but I am here to help you ease that feeling. I can also trim your dogs nails and other grooming needs for an extra fee. I am currently working part- time at the PetSmart grooming salon. I work with a variety of breeds and sizes of dogs. On Monday's, Friday's, Saturday's and Sunday's I'm off from work at 3:00 PM. I'm also taking my final 2 classes at MWCC on Tuesday's and Thursdays so after 12:30 Pm I I can visit, feed and play with your pups as needed! I have a female Doberman who is 3 years old at home. she is so loving and is glued to my side. she is another sibling to my 3 children and grew up with them from the start. we have a back yard where she gets a lot of needed exercise and plays with my kids. I also practice safety at my job in the salon every single day.
About: We have a great fenced back yard, it is divided in two different areas providing a better environment according to your pet's need, where your dog can enjoy a sand box, trampoline and even swim in the pool like our dog does(if he is used to it). If he enjoys to run and play our half acre yard should be a great option. In our home your pet will sleep with our dog and have the same attention we provide her. We also have a nice basement where Molly plays when raining and 2 dog kennels outside that she uses to take naps when she wants(door stays open all the time) with plenty space and all the comfort necessary, but she usually prefers to run free and play in the yard the entire day. One thing is for sure: your pet will be loved and treated as part of our family, having lots of fun with our kids, something he will not be able to get at a regular "dog hotel". We do ask the owner's that all dogs are groomed prior to the boarding/daycare. We also board other pets like birds, turtles, guinea pig, etc. Because we do not have a huge house eventually, depending on the number of dogs we may have on a certain day, we cannot accept big dogs like German Shepherd or dogs around the same size and weight. We do require a MEET AND GREET for new dogs. I have been a trainer for over 30 years. My kids do homeschool so your pet will not be alone. There's always someone around. Also my wife only leaves to work if Iam home. I have a friendly dog, Molly, that will play with your dog the entire day and besides that my two kids love to interact with all the pets we have around. I have been a dog trainer for over 30 years and I am happy I have been able to be around them my entire life. My entire family loves dogs.

(Monday, Tuesday & Friday I can be available for a few hours in the am) I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space to play and a kiddie pool to cool off in! I have three very friendly doggos myself but plenty of space so they can be kept separate if you desire.

“Dani is AWSOME. She was very patient with my mini schnauzer Toby.He likes to sniff everything and gets upset with other dog walkers when they rush him. She brought her dog Greyhound Zeke who is well behaved and adorable.”
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.
About: I have had dogs and cats, and also a horse for most of my life! My current dog is a 10 year old rescue from Tennessee, and he’s the love of my life. I’ve worked very hard with a trainer with my pup, so I have some experience there. I volunteered at the humane society and ASPCA for many years off and on, and I also fostered dogs throughout college. Safe to say I have plenty of hands on experience with all sorts of pets :). I am working full time, but I have a somewhat flexible schedule! I have plenty of time throughout the day to spend some time with whatever pet needs the attention! In my home, my dog is pretty spoiled :). He is my main priority, as it is just him and myself, and it’s been that way for years! As far as other people’s pets in their home, I will follow any instructions in detail that are provided, but above all I will make sure the pet is happy and healthy and comfortable!
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: I've been caring for dogs for over 25 years and truly believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and understood. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, from tiny Chihuahuas to large breeds, as well as puppies, energetic adults, and senior dogs who require extra patience, medication, or special care. I'm naturally calm, dependable, and attentive to each pet's individual personality and routine. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply quiet companionship, I adapt my care to what makes them happiest. My goal is to keep their routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable while you're away. As someone who works for myself, I have the flexibility to provide reliable daytime care and give each visit my full attention. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring hands. I treat every pet as if they were one of my own. I work for myself, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide dependable, personalized care for your pets. I'm available Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, medication, and companionship. I always do my best to be punctual, reliable, and accommodate your pet's routine. Your pet's comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. I believe pets feel most secure when their normal routine is maintained, so I take the time to learn their habits, preferences, and any special needs. I'll care for your home with the same respect I would my own, provide regular updates with photos, and treat every pet like a member of my own family.
“Thank you for making the visit work! Mulligan feels safe and happy with Colin! He always is so great to him! We are grateful to have someone so trustworthy , fun, and loving care for Mulligan! Thank you!”
“Melanie handled the booking efficiently and arrived on time. My dogs, including my finicky husky, quickly took to her. She exudes a calm energy, and we would definitely book her again.”
About: I’ve owned pets since my daughter was young and brought her first kitten home. I’ve been helping her to walk dogs for a couple years now. I’m retired so my schedule is fairly open. It gets me walking and outside, two things I enjoy. It helps my health and makes me feel good. Happy to walk your dog! Cannot have pets stay at my house as I have a kitty cat of my own. His name is Toby and he’s a real pain in the butt! 😂

“Have used Emily once again and couldn’t be more happy with her updates and photos of Forest while I was traveling. Highly recommend her services if you need any kind of pet sitting.”
“We couldn’t have been happier with Jada’s stay at Luiz’s house! They sent pictures and videos showing how well she was doing. We were sad to leave her, but she was in such great hands. Jada made lots of friends, and was very exhausted when we took her home. We will definitely be reaching out to Luiz again next time we need a dog sitter!”
“Bojack loved staying with Kourtney! He is a fourteen years old. I like that Kourtney has a background in veterinary medicine. Not only did that make me trust her with his daily meds, it was nice knowing that there was a trained eye on him. Bojack is overly bonded to me to the point that he often sits by the window waiting for me to return when I go out. The biggest compliment to Kourtney's care is that when we picked him up, he greeted me with enthusiasm but not anywhere near the crazy welcome I usually get, AND he kept looking back at Kourtney as if he was unsure whether he wanted to leave! We will definitely have her watch him again.”
“I couldn’t feel more comfortable leaving my dogs with anyone else. The girls settle right in with Judy and are not that anxious to leave when I come to get them. Love her sweet dog Rosey 😊”
“Another 5 Star visit! Michael and his family are so wonderful! Ghost is happy to see Michael every time we pull into the driveway. It makes me so happy to know Ghost has a fun time when I can't take him with me. Thank you!”
“Emerald was amazing. My Sawyer loved being there, which made me feel so much better knowing that someone will give him a one on one attention, even though she has her own dog. She also made me feel like Sawyer was her own and did everything with Sawyer that her dog does. I would absolutely go back again as long as she would have Sawyer back.”
“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!”
“Phillip took great care of my little old man. He was accommodating with our last minute request. Jake can be a bit of an odd ball but Phillip went with it and Jake seemed to enjoy his time there.”
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
About: I've been around animals my whole life and currently have two pet goats who we spoil like dogs. We have 30 acres of beautiful land surrounded by woods, which is a perfect haven for running, fetch, and all sorts of outdoor shenanigans. I work remotely from home with a flexible schedule. I typically work a few hours in the morning, and then am outside working on projects and playing with the animals all day. We have a large property (about 30 acres) surrounded by woods with lots of room for your dog to run and explore. We also live near some great hiking trails.
About: I grew up with labs, mastiffs, collies, and shepherds. I treat my dogs better than my family at times! Play, comfort, and love are staples. I work full-time during the week, but am home most weekends with my 11 month old socialized lab. My dog receives daily exercise and active play and yours will too! I will ensure your dog’s safety and your peace of mind by taking them out on leash for walks and bathroom breaks. I value active play time and also work in rest times.
“Was very communicative and great with my dog. Took blue on multiple runs and hour long walks, which really helps her when she’s feeling anxious away from home. Would definitely recommend.”
“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 have had/ have all sorts of different animals my whole life and have a lot of experience dogs and cats especially. Growing up I had a German shepherd and a husky (Layla and Harley) I used to take them for walks everyday with I woke up before I had to get on the bus for school. When I got back took them for another. I also have had cats my whole life. At one point my family had 10 cats. Some were ours and some we fostered until they could find there forever homes. We always made sure to have all our pets fixed and up to date with shots and microchipped. So I would love to spend some time with ur furry friends and make sure they have fun while your out having fun! I work Monday through Friday 7 to 3:30. My weekends are always open whenever you would need me. And before and after work I could take them on walks/ sit. For safety, I always make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, well-fed, and hydrated. I pay close attention to each pet’s needs and routines to help them feel safe and stress-free. I keep a clean environment, provide regular potty breaks and exercise, and make sure all pets are treated with patience, love, and care while they are with me.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 6 years, and what sets me apart is my hands-on experience and personal dedication. I successfully trained my own dog from 4 months old to ring a bell when he needed to go potty, bark to communicate when he needed to go outside, and follow basic commands like sit and wait. I’ve also cared for senior pets and have experience adding medication to food for both dogs and cats. I genuinely love connecting with animals and take pride in providing calm, consistent, and attentive care tailored to each pet’s needs. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets my full attention throughout the day—whether that’s for walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company. I’m reliable, punctual, and happy to follow your pet’s usual routine to keep them comfortable and cared for. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, clean environment with a spacious, secure yard where they can play and relax. When caring for pets in apartments or condos in Boston, I’ve had great experiences following each pet’s routine closely, ensuring they feel comfortable and safe. I always prioritize cleanliness, clear communication with pet parents, and a calm, respectful approach in any space I enter.
“Paul was great with my sweet girl. He took the time to get to know her and make me feel more comfortable about leaving my baby with a new person. He treated her well and I was happy to get the updates. Nora was lucky to spend the time with him. ??”
“I've never had to board my dogs before and was very nervous. Rachael answered my many questions, explained everything I needed to know. Her family is wonderful with my dogs and I finally feel I've found someone caring and trustworthy. I will definitely rebook in the future!”
“Everything went great , my dog was calm and happy the day I brought her home from being boarded. Erika sent a good amount of photos during her stay. I will definitely book again in the future.”
