“Shatane and her family were absolutely amazing with my two dogs. They sent great updates of how they were doing and amazing pictures and videos. Have both my dogs plenty of exercise outside in the backyard and treated them as if they were their own. It made a week of travel less stressful to know my two were taken care of so well. Highly recommend.”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dogs received! This family truly love animals and treat them like family. They kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. My dogs came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and compassionate dog sitter. I will definitely be booking with them again!”

“Jennifer was amazing. Highly recommend hiring her to watch your pet. Communication was flawless from start to finish, and she was always incredibly quick to respond to my text updates. I loved receiving the photos she sent throughout the weekend, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She truly went above and beyond to make my dog feel at home. She spent time playing fetch—my dog's absolute favorite game—and was highly observant and adaptable when Daisy interacted with her own two dogs, ensuring all the pups felt safe and comfortable. To top it all off, she even sent my dog home with a toy she had fallen in love with during her stay. I will absolutely be booking her again!”
“Lora was very sweet, and took great care of our puppy. Her yard is wonderful for a dog like ours who needs space to run in a safe and fenced environment. We will hope to be able to return again next time we are in need of boarding. Highly recommended.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for about 2 years, but they’ve always been a huge part of my life. As a proud pet parent myself, I know just how much love and attention our furry friends need to feel safe and happy. Whether it's going for fun walks, playtime in the yard, or just quiet cuddle time, I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. I truly love what I do, and it brings me so much joy to give pets the same care and comfort I’d want for my own. Pet care naturally fits right into my daily and weekly routine! I’m fully open on weekends, which makes it easy to dedicate my time to caring for pets. During the week, I’m a full-time college student, so I do have specific times I need to be in class—but before and after, I have long breaks that give me plenty of flexibility for check-ins, walks, and playtime. I love using those free hours to spend time with pets, making sure they’re happy, comfortable, and cared for while their families are busy! Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or in a client’s home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In a client’s home, I keep pets in their familiar routines—feeding, walking, and playtime just the way they’re used to—so they stay happy and relaxed while you’re away or busy. At this time, I don’t plan on taking in any animals since I’m in college, so all of my care will be in the comfort of your pet’s own home.

About: Hello! My name is Andie and I work at VCA South Shore Hospital in ER, ICU, Neurology and Internal Medicine as a technician assistant and have prior TA experience at Old Derby Animal Hospital. I recently graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Biology. I previously went to the University of Arizona for 3 years studying animal sciences and transferred my junior year to return to the East Coast. I also have some experience with a handful of farm animals from my time at the UofA. Additionally some of my experience comes from working on home farms taking care of horses and alpacas; all of this meaning my knowledge of animals is extensive to give the best care for your furry friends! I have always had the passion for animal care and medicine which is why after graduating I will be continuing my schooling to be a CVT and hopefully someday a veterinarian. A few years back I had participated in boarding through Rover, but after a hiatus I decided to come back to continue with walks and drop in visits because even outside of my main job I love to be around animals! We have a small family dog, but other than that I have rescue retired racing greyhound, Moose, who has travelled far and wide with me. My pets also include many fish, a leopard gecko, chickens and ducks! All this being said, I would absolutely love the opportunity to be alongside your best friends and scratch the itch to spend as much time with animals as I can! I am currently working full time at VCA Animal Hospital where I can do Sat, Sun and Mon anytime. I am open to doing drop ins and walks. It would really help potentially putting me in a position for veterinary school! I take care of your pets like they are my own. I think every one has their own needs and personality, there is no "one size fits all" for any animal. I try to learn your pet on an individual level!
About: Love both cats and dogs. Love both species..I am available from Nov. 15th thru May 1st in Florida and in MA from May 15th thru October 31st.. I have a very good repour with both cats and dogs. All my neighbors have animals, mostly dogs, and they all have taken to me. People that have animals need someone to care for their pets and love their pets just as much as the owners due and it's very important to find those special type of people and I think that I am one of those persons. Love them all and care for them like their human beings and sometime they are! My daily routine depends on what the animal requires of me. Walking is very important to a dog and they like to get out and smell their surroundings. I will take dogs out if needed by the clients during the day or whenever needed by them. Two to three times a day if needed
About: I grew up being surrounded by puppies, I’ve owned my own dog for 10 years I’ve also watched and trained many dogs of all stages of life. I’ve never not had dogs around me, although I am no professional dog trainer, I have attended classes on obedience and K-9 protection. Dogs are my world, and you can see it through my love, Lily. She requires extra love and kisses - but also as a rescue is timid of loud noises, barking dogs etc. I’ve continued to preach understanding dogs boundaries, and making them feel the utmost comfortable within their environment. I understand not every dog likes to be smothered with love, and some find love as just simply going on a walk. It would be a pleasure keeping your pup comfortable and happy! I will treat your dog as if they are my own, and will definitely take some cute photos for you! I have great flexibility and willing to work with you as needed. As I do have a dog of my own, I like to limit how late on the weekdays I can stay until - I typically like to stay around 8:00-8:30 PM. I have reliable transportation - and happy to pick up anything last minute!! I only care for pets within your own home - as my pup at home is a grumpy teenager who likes her space. I also like to do home sitting because it’s less stress on the pup and they’re more comfortable in their environment. I am happy to do as many meet and greets as you would like - I have many references and lots of returning clients. I typically will request a note of certain important things (food amt/time to eat/ favorite toys/ odd behaviors etc.). I keep very open communication between myself and my clients and will keep you updated as much as you'd like. I understand that safety and trust is a very big factor, so I am comfortable with any active cameras inside or outside to make you feel comfortable. Some clients will have me shut the indoor ones off once I arrive - and others have kept them on. Please make sure to provide me any information that you feel necessary - I am very easy going and happy to follow any specific guidelines you may have.

I’m used to small and big dogs alike! My 2 shepherds I raised from birth, so puppies are definitely okay with me! During the school year, I am a Kindergarten teacher during the day. I’m looking to save for a house and pay down student loans while seeing some cute fur babies! I am currently home for summer break, so I am available for week days and weekends. Once school starts, I will only be open to doing weekends and evenings. I will love your pet as if they were my own! In your home, I will take the best care of your pet and follow your directions exactly as you wish!

“Shatane and her family were absolutely amazing with my two dogs. They sent great updates of how they were doing and amazing pictures and videos. Have both my dogs plenty of exercise outside in the backyard and treated them as if they were their own. It made a week of travel less stressful to know my two were taken care of so well. Highly recommend.”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dogs received! This family truly love animals and treat them like family. They kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. My dogs came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and compassionate dog sitter. I will definitely be booking with them again!”

“Faith was found last-minute as our dog coverage had changed. I was nervous as my Golden had never stayed at a kennel or with anyone but family. Faith assured me he would be well-loved, as he is an attention-loving hound. He was with the family for about 6 days and he loved every minute of it, witnessed by the daily photos sent along. They have a great yard, perfect dog home and allowed couch and bed time snuggles, which Gus loves. So grateful we found her.”

“I had the pleasure of leaving Apollo with Michele, who was nothing short of fantastic! She was incredibly responsive from the start, answering all my questions promptly and putting my mind at ease. Michele is a true professional—she took the time to understand Apollo's needs and made sure he had a comfortable and fun stay with her two adorable dogs. Apollo had an amazing time, and I could tell from the photos and updates that he was well taken care of. As a lovely surprise, Michele even gave Apollo a cute parting gift, which was such a thoughtful touch! I’m so glad I found Michele, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”

I will definitely feel comfortable leaving Rocco with Alaina and her wonderful family for an extended time and I highly recommend her!”
