“Kourtney is a kind and a knowledgeable dog sitter. When I overseas for almost a month, my high energy dog was boarded in her place. She kept me posted and sent pictures. I could tell how much my dog got her attentions and love. She made my absence very easy and pleasant to my very sensitive rescued dog. I highly recommend Kourtney to you when you need help. Thank you very much, Kourtney and your husband!”
“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 😊”
“Gunnar had an amazing week with Phil! He was well cared for and enjoyed playing with all of the dogs! I was sent pictures/videos daily while we were away which put my heart at ease knowing he was having a great time! I will definitely use Phil again in the future! ?”
“Haley was amazing with my baby girl. She sent me frequent updates with pictures and made sure my pup was as comfortable as possible. When my pup was being stubborn about eating, she did everything she could to get her to eat, even going as far has holding the bowl for her while giving her love. This was my dogs first time being boarded in any capacity and she made sure my pup was not only comfortable, but I was as well. I will definitely be using Haley again.”
“Michael did a great job with our puppy. She had never been boarded before and was very nervous, but Michael was very attentive to her and extremely responsive through text message with photos and updates the whole stay. 10/10 experience”
“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!”
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.
“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
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.
“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.”
“couldn’t be happier with this dog sitter/boarding experience. I needed a sitter last minute, and they stepped in right away and made the whole situation stress-free. From the moment I dropped my dog off, I could tell he was comfortable, happy, and truly cared for. They kept me updated with lovely pictures, which meant so much and really reassured me that my dog was having a great time. It felt more like leaving him with a loving family than a boarding service. They are incredibly trustworthy, kind, and attentive, and it’s clear they genuinely love animals. I’m so grateful for the care they provided, especially on short notice. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a safe, caring, and reliable place for their dog—and I will definitely be using them again!”
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.
“Bradleigh is amazing! She is kind and takes such good care of our puppies when we go out of town. You can tell she cares so much and is such a pet lover. We will be using Bradleigh for all of our pet sitting needs whenever she is available.”

“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.”
“Leo has been cared for by Danielle twice now and she has gone above and beyond !!! She had gotten him food the first time I went away on short notice. This time she was willing to go check on him when our flight got delayed !!! Honestly does a great job and I will keep her on the top of my list in the future.”
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 care about them and show up as they need me to be. Patience and kindness wins. I make sure they have clean water, food, a clean and tidy litter box. I like clean dishes for each feeding. I will play with them with wands or toys as they wish to engage. Just hanging out with them is nice.

About: I have 2 years of veterinary experience in VCA Lancaster aiding in the health of our beloved patients. My pet care journey has brought me to NEADS world class service dogs! I have learned the power of positive reinforcement and essential enrichment to a dogs happiness. There are so many tools in my belt at this point I feel I can provide an adequate setting for a calm and happy pup! My skills extend to dog walking, fear analyzation, proper exercise, and well balanced snacks for praise and health. I love nothing more than caring for dogs and giving them a place to thrive in!! I work full time, but have the privilege of bringing personal dogs to work every day. I do have a pet dog who is well trained and spayed. She accompanies me to work where they would get frequent bathroom breaks, play time (one on one, or in a group). I end the day with a 30 minute walk before heading home for the night. At home it is R&R time!! I am dedicated to taking pets out to use the bathroom whenever needed this is not an issue for me. I follow meals given by the client pretty strictly. I have a list of approved fruits and veggies for treats if the client elects they want that to be incorporated. I also have loads of enrichment activities such as snuffle mats, interactive feeders, and tug toys to let that pup get out any unwanted stress or fear. These can travel with me!
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!
“Devon was awesome, took very good care of both of our pets and they were so happy when we got back! Did everything we had asked in regards to care for the pets and was flexible. Absolutely will go to Devon for a pet sitter in the future, best one we have had!”
“Amanda was a wonderful pet sitter, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. She stayed in our home and cared for our cat while we were away, and she regularly checked in to let us know how things were going, which gave us real peace of mind. When we returned, our cat was happy and relaxed, and everything in our house was exactly as we had left it. We initially felt a little uneasy hiring someone we didn’t know to stay in our home and care for our baby for a week, but we’re so glad we put our faith in Amanda. We completely trust her and will absolutely hire her again.”

I'm available M-F 9-6 pm. I like to make sure the pet is comfortable. I want the pet to feel at home with me. The least amount of change from the pets daily activities are important for the pet to feel safe and happy.
“Very professional. Communicates accurately and to the point. I will repeat often and frequently because Shamus needs caring socialization. I believe this dog operator genuinely cares about each one of the dogs and seems to understand my specific golden retriever breed. My 10 month old golden is maturing slowly, but surely and this may be what Seamus needs most. Jack”
“Giannina came through at the last minute to watch my dog for the day. I prefer when sitters send photos and videos because it helps me feel reassured that he is content. She is busy with her children so I didn’t receive any. Anyway, I’m happy he was taken care of.”
“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!”

Trust is built through my responsibility, attention to detail and genuine care that always prioritizes the health and happiness of your furry friend.
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!
“We’re so grateful for the excellent care that Shankar and family took of our cockapoo Mochi! They were great communicators- sending frequent photo and video updates of Mochi enjoying the beautiful, grassy, fenced-in yard, sniffing chickens (on the other side of the fence), playing with their dog, and snoozing on the couch. It was clear Mochi had a great day and that they are true dog lovers. We’ll definitely be back when we’re in the area and highly recommend them to all!”

Our dog Skylar is a difficult dog, she is afraid of everything and takes longer time to trust new people, but Misty, she has her magic and now Skylar and Googie are her best friends ! Couldnt thank her enough for taking care our dogs for 3 weeks ! Highly recommended and did I mention she is amazing ?!”

I have three very friendly doggos myself but plenty of space so they can be kept separate if you desire.
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.
About: As a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet caregiver, I know that your pets aren't just animals—they are family. I bring years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, ranging from energetic daily walks to dedicated, full-week overnight house sitting. As a cat owner myself, I am deeply attuned to pet behavior, routines, and comfort levels. My top priority is ensuring your peace of mind while you are away. You can count on consistent, transparent communication, including detailed updates and plenty of photos or videos of your pets happy and thriving. I treat every animal in my care with the utmost respect, attentiveness, and love, keeping their schedules on track and their tails wagging! I am very flexible with my schedule and do this as my full time job! I have plenty of time to take care of your furry friends! I am willing to help with care for your pets in anyway I can, I feel comfortable administering medication as long as it is explained and shown to me ahead of time! Your pets are always safe with me!

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 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! 😂
About: I've taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I've always been a very empathetic person and just love to wave and say hi to dogs going by. I've had dogs of all sizes. My most recent is experience with Chihuahuas. I just love them! I've raised 2 dogs from 8 weeks old. I love all stages of a dogs life, from puppy to senior. I also have experience with senior dogs who need special care and medication. I'm currently working for myself, so I have plenty of time to spend playing, caring, loving and walking with your pets. I'm available M-F 9-6 pm. I like to make sure the pet is comfortable. I want the pet to feel at home with me. The least amount of change from the pets daily activities are important for the pet to feel safe and happy.
About: Lifelong dog owner, active dog walker, and aspiring dog trainer. I have experience with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and energy levels and am passionate about canine behavior and enrichment. With over 10 years of animal welfare volunteering and experience caring for horses and farm animals, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and building trust with animals. Every walk is an opportunity to provide exercise, mental stimulation, and positive experiences for your dog. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I am active and enjoy spending time outdoors, so regular walks are already a part of my day. I have a flexible schedule and can provide dependable walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I understand that consistency is important for dogs, and I strive to be reliable, punctual, and communicative with every client. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. As a lifelong dog owner with experience caring for cats, horses, and farm animals, I understand the importance of reading animal body language and respecting each pet’s individual needs. I always follow owner instructions carefully, use secure leash handling practices, and provide plenty of positive attention during walks and visits. I’m currently working toward becoming a dog trainer, which has strengthened my understanding of canine behavior and safe handling techniques. You can trust that your pet will be treated with patience, kindness, and the same level of care I would give my own animals.

“Kourtney is a kind and a knowledgeable dog sitter. When I overseas for almost a month, my high energy dog was boarded in her place. She kept me posted and sent pictures. I could tell how much my dog got her attentions and love. She made my absence very easy and pleasant to my very sensitive rescued dog. I highly recommend Kourtney to you when you need help. Thank you very much, Kourtney and your husband!”

When my pup was being stubborn about eating, she did everything she could to get her to eat, even going as far has holding the bowl for her while giving her love. This was my dogs first time being boarded in any capacity and she made sure my pup was not only comfortable, but I was as well. I will definitely be using Haley again.”

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.
“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.”

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.
“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 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.
“Bradleigh is amazing! She is kind and takes such good care of our puppies when we go out of town. You can tell she cares so much and is such a pet lover. We will be using Bradleigh for all of our pet sitting needs whenever she is available.”
“Paul was great - the space/set-up are perfect & he obviously cares very much about each dog . Very communicative - sending lots of updates and videos. Will definitely use Paul again & highly recommend him to others !”
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.
