About: I have cared for cats for almost 6 years through short-term petsitting and extended periods. I have cared for cats of neighbors, family members, as well as those in my community. These cats include kittens ranging to seniors, as well as different behaviors. I also have veterinary knowledge and I am trained in FearFree, Pet First aid, and Pet CPR. My background in the veterinary field and personal experience means that I am also capable of administering any medications including daily medications or preventatives. (Oral, topical, etc)
About: I have taken care of indoor cats for the majority of my life. I have 3 of my own and can appreciate all of their different personalities. I know they have their own personal needs as well as boundaries. I am uncomfortable taking care of outdoor cats and would prefer them to stay inside for my stay!
“Lauren took such great care of our cats while we were on vacation! She played with them each day, sent us lots of pictures, and very funny updates! We would have her back any time to watch them again”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for my sister’s two cats, and I absolutely love spending time with them. From playtime to cuddles to keeping their routine on track, I enjoy making sure cats feel safe, happy, and loved. Every cat has their own personality, and I’m patient and attentive to their unique needs
“Vanessa did a fantastic job taking care of our cat Calamari while we were away over the holidays. She would send pictures and updates at each visit which is comforting to know that Calamari is well taken care of and happy. Vanessa is reliable, communicative, and most importantly she’s passionate about taking great care of our pets. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Wiktoria did a great job with Bentley. He loved having her hanging out with him for an hour. We are so glad to have found her. We will definitely use Wiktoria again!”
“Mariah was absolutely amazing! She noticed every little detail and took amazing care of all of the animals. She texted updates every day and sent lots of snuggly pictures. We can home to an immaculate house and very happy pets. I would 1000000000% book Mariah again!”

“Our dog had a great stay with Lisa! It was so nice to be able to leave him with someone with a lot of dog experience and clearly a lot of love for dogs. Our dog got along great with her dog. We would absolutely have him stay with Lisa again.”
“Lorraine and her family are awesome! She updated me with pictures and videos throughout my pup’s stay and I felt he was in a very safe and happy environment. We will definitely be working with Lorraine again!”
“Jade watched my two pups with very different needs (one is small, 15 years old; the other is 1.5 yo husky mix) for the day as we were going through town on a road trip. We needed somewhere for the pups to be while we did a non-dog friendly day. Jade was super responsive and accommodating. The dogs happily walked off with her without any hesitation (I trust them to read the situation). She asked good questions about their care, entertained the pup during the day by introducing her to a doggy walking pad inside since it was extremely hot out. She also quickly and easily accommodated an earlier pick up when we finished up early. While we aren’t local to use her again, I would do it if the need arises. Much better than a kennel! Pups were happy when we picked up.”
“Alyssa and Zach are very caring, gentle and loving. They took great care of my pup Cookie and he gets along with them very fast. Their apt is only 4 mins walk from where I live so Alyssa is my to-go puppy sitter!”
About: I treat every animal exactly as if they were my own. With over 15 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and horses, my background is deeply rooted in animal welfare. Growing up in Maryland, I volunteered at a local animal rescue, interned with an equine veterinary clinic, and served as a volunteer and instructor in equine therapy. I came to Boston for college and have resided here ever since! I am still an avid equestrian today, and this lifelong dedication to animals has shaped my approach to pet care: I am incredibly detail-oriented, highly observant, and bring infinite patience to every animal's unique needs. I grew up surrounded by large dogs—including three wonderful Labradors—as well as multiple cats. Recently, my husband, Johnny, and I moved to Marblehead, where we share our home with our two sweet cats, Ozzy and Willis. What to Expect When You Book With Me: Constant Companionship: As a working professional in the consulting industry who is fully remote, my flexible schedule allows me to provide consistent, reliable supervision. I ensure your pets receive lots of daytime companionship and are never left alone for more than 4-5 hours a day. Tailored Attention: Family and friends have always relied on me for meticulous care. I make it a priority to learn everything about your pet's routine, quirks, and needs to ensure they are happy and safe. Professional & Insured: As an established, fully independently insured pet care professional, I am always happy to discuss flexible care and scheduling arrangements that work best for your family. Reliability & Safety: I have my own reliable vehicle, allowing for complete flexibility with visits and peace of mind in the unlikely event of an emergency. Meet & Greets: Finding the right match is important! I am always happy to schedule a virtual or in-person meet-and-greet to ensure we are a mutual fit. Please note: For house sitting, I currently accept booking requests a maximum of 3 months in advance. Thank you for understanding! I work fully remote from my home. For house sitting, I use your house as a homebase to make your pet feel comfortable and used to their normal routine. I am able to drop in, house sit, and walk your furry friend, feed and play with your dog or cat, and everything in between (and of course take many pictures!)
About: I love being surrounded by animals and have been around pets my entire life. For a long time now, I’ve been rescuing lost dogs and helping them find safe, loving homes. Currently, I have three dogs and a cat at my country house, as well as a 10-year-old senior dog at home. One of my dogs in the countryside is partially blind, and I'm the one who takes care of his special needs. This has given me great hands-on experience with senior and special-needs pet care. Spanish is my native language, and my home is fully bilingual! My kids are completely fluent in English and are always here to help with communication for all booking details and updates. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I am at home all day. My daily life revolves around taking care of my dog, maintaining our home, and waiting for my husband and children to return from work and school. Currently, my daughter is starting college this August, so I am looking for extra income to help pay for her tuition. This work is a perfect match for me because it naturally aligns with my everyday schedule, allowing me to give visiting pets full-time attention, love, and constant companionship. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. Since I spend my entire day at home, your pet will have constant presence and attention, a safe outdoor space, quiet walks and specialized care experience.
“Last minute day care fell through so Crystal and her family came to the rescue! We were away on vacation and our day care fell through I contacted Crystal and she responded quickly and was able to watch our dog during the day. She and Steve were very flexible with our drop off and pick up times. She has a beautiful dog that was a great companion for our dog and he came home tired and happy each day. We can't wait to visit Crystal and her family again.”
“Fae and Joseph responded quickly and gave Patton a warm welcome. They had plenty of room indoors and outdoors for him to run and play. They also had very friendly dogs for Patton to play with, which Pat loves to meet and play with new dogs. Very personable and left me at ease leaving Patton that for the day. I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of a dog sitter.”
“Ana took such wonderful care of my dog for the past two full days, even with a last-minute reservation. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was in such good hands. She made sure she got plenty of walks and lots of attention. I’m so grateful and would absolutely book with her again!”
“Jennifer was so excited to meet Ruby and she clearly loves animals. He had a great day with her and her 2 little doggies. She even had gifts to send home with him. Highly recommend and Ruby will be thrilled to see her again soon!”
“Beth was great and my dog came home a very happy pup! When we arrived, she had already familiarized herself with his diet instructions, which gave me peace of mind from the start. She also sent regular updates and a photo during the stay. We’ll definitely book with Beth again!”
“Jodi was very accommodating with us to have our dog cared for while we are visiting the area. She has a great backyard for dogs to play. She also gave us great recommendations for things to do and where to get the best clam chowder. If we are ever back visiting we hope Jodi will be available to take care of Nelly.”

Your pet will enjoy a welcoming home with lots of fun toys and loving care and attention. I work fully remote with a flexible schedule that allows me to work around your pets schedule. I provide multiple long walks per day, and can bring your dog to a number of dog parks in my area if you would prefer they socialize. Attentive to all medical and miscellaneous needs.

“Liza is a very knowledgeable, experienced, and warm dog sitter. She is compassionate with dogs and is able to understand them and their needs. She was great with our 4 month old puppy! She is compassionate with people and really helped me with a last minute situation.”
“Kristin was great with our dog, Riggs! She took him on lots of walks and sent a bunch of photos throughout the day. He came back absolutely exhausted 😂 We will definitely be using her services again for doggy day care!”
About: “I stand out for my patience and dedication. I have experience taking care of dogs of all ages, from puppies that need training to older pets that require special attention.

“Brooke was amazing caring for our dog Zoey while we were away. We were hesitant on which route to take to care for Zoey on our 6 day vacation. We decided on using Brooke with multiple services and she exceeded our expectations. She was in contact with us daily with photos and communication. I will most definitely be recommending her to other dog families in need.”
“Elizabeth was great with our little dachshund, Penelope, for a (last minute) walk! Very easy to communicate with - everything went so smoothly. Will gladly request her again if we need a walk for our girl!”
About: Hello! I'm Annie, and I run a local premium pet care service with my partner Robbie. I've been professionally pet and house-sitting since 2018, though animals have always been a part of my life. I have experience with dogs of all sizes (1–85 lbs), including senior pets, pets with special needs, and those requiring medication or specialized care. Whether it’s using a crate, leash, or harness, your pet’s safety is always my top priority. You’ll notice that your pet(s) warm up to me quickly...animals tend to sense my calm, nurturing presence and years of hands-on experience. I genuinely love what I do and feel honored every time I’m trusted with such an important member of your family. I send regular photo updates during my stay so you can always feel connected and reassured. Important Note (Please Read): Moving forward, I only work with families who are comfortable with my 1-year-old daughter joining me for all pet care services. My partner, Robbie, also joins me for all overnight stays. Because of this, it’s essential that any pets I care for are well-socialized and comfortable around children and new adults. If your pet(s) have any history of reactivity or discomfort around babies, children, or unfamiliar people, I kindly ask that we do not move forward with services. Safety comes first for everyone involved. What to Expect: I typically start with a quick phone call to go over the basics. If it feels like a good fit, we then set up a meet-and-greet with your pet(s) to ensure compatibility and go over all important details (house rules, routines, medical needs, vet contacts, favorite activities, and more). These consultations usually last about 30 minutes. My goal is to make sure your pet(s) feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away, and that you feel peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. Looking forward to meeting your furry family! I run an online business with a flexible schedule, which allows me to prioritize pet care in a consistent and dependable way. I’m typically never away from the home for more than 4–5 hours at a time, and I always communicate clearly about my availability before booking. As a new mom, I will have my baby daughter with me during all pet care visits and house sitting stays. Because of this, I only work with pets who are well-socialized and comfortable around infants. When house sitting, I keep my schedule light so I can focus on your pet’s needs and provide a calm, loving environment. Pet care is not just a side gig—it’s something I love and integrate thoughtfully into my week. I work with dogs ranging from 1-85 pounds and have experience with senior pets, special needs pets, and giving medications. I am comfortable using a crate, leash, and harness for your pets safety. I ask that any specific rules in regards to safety be discussed during out meet and greet.
“Jessica is great with our dogs!! She is always on time and gives our dogs the attention they need! I am very happy with Jessica and the care she gives our dogs!!”
About: I grew up with dogs, cats, and a bunch of other animals, and I have always loved taking care of them. My family, neighbors, and friends have all relied on me to take care of their pets over the years, whether it's for walks, check-ins, or overnights, and I would love to do the same for your pet. I'm a college student and have plenty of time during the week for quick check-ins and walks, and I will be able to stay overnight most weekdays and on weekends. I am very comfortable around dogs and would have no problem going on walks, crating your dog, administering most medicine, or doing any other tasks that may be required.
About: Taking care of dogs has been a part of my daily life for as long as I can remember, whether it be the family dogs or shelter dogs in need of some extra love. I am experienced in walking all types of dogs. From tiny chihuahuas to great danes, highly active pets to couch potatoes, I strive to meet every animals needs while they are away from their owner. I have experience walking multiple dogs at once and giving commands during walks. I am available at all times of day and have a car that can transport your pups! I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to base my day around when I need to care for dogs. I frequently go for walks (short or long) and love to have dogs join me. When caring for pets I always take the dog or cat’s personality, energy level, and special requirements into consideration. All dogs and cats are unique, so I strive to create the best experience and environment possible for each animal by catering to their specific needs.
About: I’ve been a loving and devoted dog owner since I was ten. I’ve raised both small and large breed dogs from puppyhood.

My dogs get are doted on with lots of cuddles and attention. I currently have a very friendly Bernese Mountain dog who gets along well with other dogs. I am available full-time to care for your fur baby. I could offer daily exercise and plenty of individual attention to your pup at my home or yours. I have a house with a big yard on a quiet cul-de-sac. Either in your home or mine, I would take your dog out on a leash to make sure it stays safe. Having hosted many rescue dogs, I know how to care for nervous animals and they have thrived under my care.

“Sheila is great! She took care of my two dogs this evening and made them feel comfortable. One of my dogs has a severe anxiety disorder so taking him for a walk is no easy feat.

I have plenty of time in the afternoon after my classes and I would love to spend that time going on a walk or taking care of pets!

About: I absolutely love all animals! I grew up having cats and dogs my entire life. I have pet sat for relatives, neighbors, and family friends since my early teens.

About: I first discovered my passion for animal care in fifth grade when I brought home and later adopted my class pet, Spot, an anole lizard who remained with our family for two years. Since then, I have continued developing hands-on experience caring for animals, including working with reactive dogs. During the pandemic, my family adopted our dog Henry, and through that experience I gained valuable insight into supporting dogs with anxiety and learning effective, patient approaches to behavioral management. I currently have full availability for the summer and am flexible in accommodating a wide range of pet care needs, including daytime, evening, and weekend care. I prioritize clear and consistent communication with pet owners to ensure I fully understand each pet’s individual needs and routine. My goal is to provide attentive, reliable care and make sure every pet is safe, comfortable, and receiving the highest quality care possible.
About: I’ve taken care of friends and family’s dogs for years now. More cats than dogs but just about the same experience and love of course! I currently work part time as a waitress night shifts!

Safety and care is always a number one priority to me. Treating your animals like they are my own is a priority.

About: 30 years as a dog mom, 2 young school-aged kids + friendly puppy!! Dogs have been a part of my life for more than 30 years! I grew up with a dog from the time I was 4 until I was 20, so caring for dogs has always been second nature to me. At 28, I got my own dog, who was a beloved part of our family for nearly 13 years. Shortly after saying goodbye to her we welcomed Lola, our mini dachshund, into our family in May 2026, and she has brought so much fun and energy to our home. I’m very comfortable with the day-to-day care that comes with having a dog, including walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Our family includes two young school-aged children, so our home is loving, active, and full of attention. Lola loves having other dogs around, so we’re especially excited to welcome friendly, social dogs who enjoy playing and having a canine companion. We’re a great fit for dogs who enjoy being part of a family and having plenty of love, attention, and playtime! Your dog will be treated like part of the family while they’re with us! We take dogs out first thing in the morning, throughout the day as needed (typically at least every 3 hours), and again before bedtime. I work from home during the week, so I’m around and available throughout the day. On weekends, we’re home most of the time with Lola and the kids, so there’s plenty of company, attention, and playtime. We enjoy getting outside for walks and, when appropriate, may visit a dog park or a dog-friendly beach when seasonally available. We’ll always consider your dog’s personality, comfort level, and energy when planning activities. Our goal is for every dog to feel safe, loved, and right at home! Our home is a dog-loving, family-friendly environment with a large yard on a quiet private road, surrounded by woods and backing up to the Hannah Trails. There’s plenty of space for dogs to explore, play, and get some energy out! We have one very friendly, playful puppy (Lola) who loves having other dogs around, plus two young school-aged kids who are always happy to provide extra attention, entertainment, and cuddles. We especially enjoy welcoming dogs who are comfortable around children and other dogs. Our puppy has free rein of the house when we’re home and is crate-trained when we leave. For guest dogs, we’re happy to use a crate when we’re away if that’s what they’re accustomed to. If your dog isn’t crate-trained, that’s completely fine—we’re happy to work with their routine and make sure they’re comfortable and safe while we’re out. At night, we’ll follow whatever routine your dog is used to. They can sleep in a crate, in a designated area, or even in bed with us (& Lola) if that’s their normal routine. Our goal is to keep your dog’s experience as comfortable and familiar as possible while they’re staying with us!
“My 5 month old puppy loves it at Kathy’s house! She has 2 absolutely amazing goldens and a little fenced in yard to play in! She especially made good friends with Snickerdoodle. My only worry was that she wouldn’t want to come home after having so much fun!”
“Akhil and his wife were great, accommodating for our 12-yr-old girl (Maddie). Communication was easy and Akhil sent lots of photos to document her day. Thank you for taking her at slightly late notice!”
“Lloraine and Her family made Aspen feel totally at home. In the pictures that were sent every day and more, my Aspen was very happy and always wagging her tail. Yes, I pick her up tomorrow, but, I’m hoping that she’ll come with me! LOL. I highly recommend Lloraine and her two girls and husband to anyone and everyone who is looking for a very special family and home for their pet!”
About: I’ve always loved dogs and have cared for dogs of different ages and personalities throughout my life. I’m especially comfortable with senior dogs who may need extra patience, attention, and gentle care. I’ll treat every dog like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. 🏠🐾 Home Boarding I offer a comfortable, loving home environment for small and medium-sized dogs 1 year and older. I keep boarding small and personal, with a maximum of two dogs at a time, so each dog receives plenty of individual attention and care. I truly enjoy being around dogs and love giving them plenty of attention, companionship, and socialization. I’m happy to care for dogs who enjoy having other dogs around, as well as dogs who are more comfortable being the only dog in my care. Every dog has their own personality and comfort level, and I’m happy to tailor their stay to their individual needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. I have a large fenced in yard for your dog to run around. I also have a stroller for dogs who prefer more of a pampered ride around town than a leash walk. Before accepting a new boarding dog, I prefer to have a Meet & Greet so we can make sure your dog is comfortable in my home and that we’re a good fit. If an in-person meeting isn’t convenient, I’m also happy to arrange a Zoom/video call first. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, loved, comfortable, and right at home while you’re away. ❤️ I’m am very reliable and available for pet care on my days off, including Mondays,Tuesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays . I can also open additional days on my calendar when I’m available. I enjoy spending time with dogs and giving them the love, attention, exercise, and companionship they need. For drop-in visits, I provide care in your home and follow your instructions carefully. I’ll make sure your dog is safe and comfortable, keep doors and gates secure, and provide plenty of attention and companionship. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home.
