“My dog Hank had the most amazing time with Lindsay and her family. She is extremely communicative, caring, and loving. 1000% recommend her and we will be bask.”
“Ariane and her family were wonderful with our sometimes-anxious cockapoo, Millie who spent 10 days with them while we were out of the country. She went for walks alongside Ariane's two dogs, lay in the sun on the fenced deck, joined Ariane in the car on errands and fully participated in their family life. Ariane was great at sending frequent updates which were much appreciated. Millie seemed relaxed and happy when I picked her up - she will definitely be a returning guest!”
“Lori was ABSOLUTELY incredible. She saved me from a very last minute pickle, and I’m so glad so was able to babysit my Ollie so last minute. I got daily updates and pictures, as well as such amazing assurance that Ollie would be getting both his pills had his much-hated ear drops. I came back from the weekend and his ear infection was almost completely gone! And he was POOPED! A true testament to what a great time he had. Definitely recommend!”
“We have an older dog, and we’ve always been able to call on family and friends to care for Sully while we are away. But we found ourselves in a pinch, and Gienna (thankfully!!) had an opening in her schedule to care for Sully for a long weekend. She and her dog Maggie were so welcoming, and made Sully feel right at home. He was so comfy and was soon prancing in Gienna’s yard. We received many pictures of Sully as he was settling into their home. Gienna communicated well and administered Sully’s meds as we needed. What a find for us and Sully! Gienna enjoyed caring for our little man and we are so happy that he had a great experience.”
“We feel so incredibly lucky to have found this wonderful dog sitter. Our dog is very anxious and has never stayed with anyone over night except for family. Rebecca let us visit twice before leaving Archie overnight so that he was able to meet not only Rebecca, but her husband and two children as well. This made all the difference for his and our comfort level! From the moment we connected, Rebecca and her family made us feel completely at ease leaving our dog in their care. Their home is warm, welcoming, and truly feels like a second home for pets. They treated our dog, Archie, like one of their own — with so much love, patience, and attention. We received thoughtful updates and photos daily that showed how happy and comfortable our dog was, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. What really sets Rebecca apart is how genuinely invested she is in the well-being of the dogs she cares for. She and her family paid attention to routines, personality quirks, and little details that made all the difference. It’s clear this isn’t just a service to them — it’s something they truly enjoy and take pride in. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup, and that says everything. We wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book with them again and recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone looking for loving, responsible, and exceptional care. Five stars isn’t enough — they’re absolutely amazing!”
“Jennifer was a wonderful care taker for our dog. She was patient and kind. Kept us updated on a longer stay. We will definitely use her services again. Thank you.”
“David and his family did a great job of taking care of our senior dog! He settled in soon and seemed very comfortable around them. We would be very happy to have them as our sitter again.”
“It was such a relief booking with with her. She was able to take my dog last minute and catered to both of their personalities. She went above and beyond what I need her to do and definitely exceeded all my expectations. To the point, my dogs didn’t even wanna leave her. She accommodated them in every way for sure. Kept me updated with pictures and made the pick up and drop off very smooth. I can’t wait to book with her again. And I’m sure they would love to see her again as well.”
“Nice communications and Brewster was happy at drop-off, in pictures and at pickup. We had problems getting back and Hyesun and Bob were very accommodating as we were stuck overnight at an airport hotel! Location is wonderful for a dog as the walks in this part of Marblehead provide quiet streets and variety of sniffing :)”
“Samantha was great with both me and my dog. This was my first Rover booking and she and her husband were super accommodating and took great care of Della: taking her on walks, making sure the cats stayed away and giving her cuddle time (with kids❤️). Would book again if i was in the area.”
“Banksy absolutely loved his stay with Natasha & Jonathan! They were both amazing in ensuring he had everything he needed as well as sending lots of pictures and videos! We will definitely be using them again!”
“Kathy is an absolute gem and I feel so blessed to have found her. She is so caring, responsive, and took amazing care of my baby girl. Snickerdoodle, her pup, is the sweetest boy in the world and gets along with everyone. My girl felt like she was a honeymoon vacation and that gave me so much peace of mind.”
“Phydeau stayed for two nights. He’s old and had much medical care involved in his stay including pills and ear care which was all attended to so well. He came home happy and well cared for. He loves going to Michael’s!”
“Piper came back happy from Belinda’s! Belinda was very responsible, flexible, and made sure to slowly introduce Piper to her own pup! If I am back in town with Piper I will definitely reach out to her again!”
“Andre was great with Luna ! Kept great contact with videos. She was walked for hours a day. When I picked her up she ate and crashed out. She was clearly tired. I will definitely use Andre again!!!🐆”
“We are so grateful to have found Paul & Megan! From the meet & greet to Lilly's extensive 11 night stay, it was evident that Paul & Megan have a genuine care for dogs and treat them with love and individualized attention. The daily pictures and updates of Lilly's activites always brought a smile to our face and were reassuring that she was happy, safe and comfortable. We would highly recommend Paul & Megan and will definitely be using them whenever we need a sitter for Lilly.”
“Zwany is absolutely amazing! She’s incredibly accommodating and understands what a pet parent needs to feel comfortable leaving their baby with her and her family. I did a one night trial before a longer sit later this year to make sure both Tilly and Zwany would be comfortable with each other. Tilly had a great time and fit right in. Zwany asked all the right questions before the stay to make sure it would be successful and demonstrated that she was ready for any of tillys quirks that may pop up during her visit. I got a detailed review at pick up and I could tell Tilly was happy to be there! Zwany was so knowledgeable and caring. Can’t wait for Tilly to go back!”
“Freddi was a fantastic sitter for my dog, Edie! She sent great photos and updates during her stay. She clearly took great care of Edie, taking her on long walks on the beach every morning and being sensitive to her needs since she can be anxious in new places. We definitely would recommend Freddi and hope to have Edie stay again in the future!”
“Jhoanna has taken care of Lola for us a few times already, and each time she has gone above and beyond. We leave her with total peace of mind knowing Lola is in great hands. She always sends updates, photos, and checks in if anything seems off. Lola absolutely adores her, and we can tell how comfortable and happy she is when we come back. We truly appreciate her reliability, kindness, and the way she treats our dog like family.”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and can’t remember a time when there wasn’t a four‑legged best friend in the house.

I enjoy getting to know each animal’s personality and earning their trust at their own pace.

I’m currently a student chaplain, a full-time mom to two girls, and a pet mom to two budgies and a betta fish. Caring for animals is already part of my daily routine, and in my free time, I’d love the opportunity to spend time with and care for other pets. While I’m new to this platform offering dog walking services, I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely enjoy being around animals. 🐾 I treat every pet as if they were my own. I focus on safe, enjoyable walks, follow the owner’s instructions carefully, and make sure each pet receives the attention, exercise, and care they need. I also provide updates so owners know how their pet is doing.

“We feel so incredibly lucky to have found this wonderful dog sitter. Our dog is very anxious and has never stayed with anyone over night except for family. Rebecca let us visit twice before leaving Archie overnight so that he was able to meet not only Rebecca, but her husband and two children as well. This made all the difference for his and our comfort level! From the moment we connected, Rebecca and her family made us feel completely at ease leaving our dog in their care. Their home is warm, welcoming, and truly feels like a second home for pets. They treated our dog, Archie, like one of their own — with so much love, patience, and attention. We received thoughtful updates and photos daily that showed how happy and comfortable our dog was, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. What really sets Rebecca apart is how genuinely invested she is in the well-being of the dogs she cares for. She and her family paid attention to routines, personality quirks, and little details that made all the difference. It’s clear this isn’t just a service to them — it’s something they truly enjoy and take pride in. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup, and that says everything. We wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book with them again and recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone looking for loving, responsible, and exceptional care. Five stars isn’t enough — they’re absolutely amazing!”
“David and his family did a great job of taking care of our senior dog! He settled in soon and seemed very comfortable around them. We would be very happy to have them as our sitter again.”
“Samantha was great with both me and my dog. This was my first Rover booking and she and her husband were super accommodating and took great care of Della: taking her on walks, making sure the cats stayed away and giving her cuddle time (with kids❤️). Would book again if i was in the area.”
“Banksy absolutely loved his stay with Natasha & Jonathan! They were both amazing in ensuring he had everything he needed as well as sending lots of pictures and videos! We will definitely be using them again!”
“Kathy is an absolute gem and I feel so blessed to have found her. She is so caring, responsive, and took amazing care of my baby girl. Snickerdoodle, her pup, is the sweetest boy in the world and gets along with everyone. My girl felt like she was a honeymoon vacation and that gave me so much peace of mind.”
“Phydeau stayed for two nights. He’s old and had much medical care involved in his stay including pills and ear care which was all attended to so well. He came home happy and well cared for. He loves going to Michael’s!”
“Piper came back happy from Belinda’s! Belinda was very responsible, flexible, and made sure to slowly introduce Piper to her own pup! If I am back in town with Piper I will definitely reach out to her again!”
“Andre was great with Luna ! Kept great contact with videos. She was walked for hours a day. When I picked her up she ate and crashed out. She was clearly tired. I will definitely use Andre again!!!🐆”
“Zwany is absolutely amazing! She’s incredibly accommodating and understands what a pet parent needs to feel comfortable leaving their baby with her and her family. I did a one night trial before a longer sit later this year to make sure both Tilly and Zwany would be comfortable with each other. Tilly had a great time and fit right in. Zwany asked all the right questions before the stay to make sure it would be successful and demonstrated that she was ready for any of tillys quirks that may pop up during her visit. I got a detailed review at pick up and I could tell Tilly was happy to be there! Zwany was so knowledgeable and caring. Can’t wait for Tilly to go back!”
“Freddi was a fantastic sitter for my dog, Edie! She sent great photos and updates during her stay. She clearly took great care of Edie, taking her on long walks on the beach every morning and being sensitive to her needs since she can be anxious in new places. We definitely would recommend Freddi and hope to have Edie stay again in the future!”
“Thank you for taking care of Theo again! Theo always runs right into Elliot and Jo’s house and heads straight for the dog toys. I know I can leave him and he’ll feel right at home.”
“Our minidoodle Sam had a great stay with Charlotte and Jordan, and their dog Kyber. Two things we especially like: They generally just take one dog at a time (more attention, and Sam loves attention!), and they live near some great walking trails. Very nice people.”
“Our dog always has a great time with Fae and Joseph! We also appreciate that they keep us informed with pics and videos during his stay. We can't say enough good things:)”
“My dog is a big old baby requiring plenty of attention and TLC as well as timely walks and medications. He’s an old boy. He loved Liz and her place. Usually he has separation issues. Well he hardly noticed when we left and I’m pretty sure he was a little bit disappointed to come home. Great care for my dog.”
“Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! She was extremely communicative and sent lots of photos and videos, which I really appreciated. I had to book last minute due to a family emergency, and she completely put my mind at ease. Lily was so well cared for and happy when I returned. I would absolutely book with her again!”
“I’m so glad I found Stacey to care for my dog. She was Amazing! She provided pictures and updates daily which put my mind at ease. She took such good care of her that I was afraid she wouldn’t want to come home! Truly the BEST! Thank you!!”
“Julia is great. She took good care of my dog Ronny while we are on vacation. She replies message in a very timely manner and sends us Ronny’s pictures frequently to ensure Ronny is a good caregiver’s home. I would highly recommend Julia to anyone who need dog cater.”
