Super flexible too, definitely recommend them for anyone looking for boarding!”

About: With 25 years of experience having my own dog sitting business, I will take loving care of your precious dog in my Swampscott home. I have a large, fenced-in yard. No cages here. Many great references. Friendly, female dogs only, please. I make my own hours, so I can be home for your dog to take care of her every need. I am crazy about dogs, and my own dog, Annie, gets along well with other friendly dogs. I have a fenced-in yard, which dogs love to go out into. I can let them out any time, for as long as they want to sit outside in the sun, or come inside into the cool air conditioning on hot days.
“Kyli and Scott were amazing! Our dog had so much love, attention, adventure, and care. He didn't want to leave! They took him to the beach, played with him with their giant bucket of toys, and sent lots of great pictures that are probably going to end up on his instagram. They were extremely responsive, and while our dog Kyle usually doesn't eat much when in a new environment, was actually eating his kibble more than at home! Would give more than 5 stars if I could.”
“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 look forward to Elizabeth taking care of Marley in the future!”
“Caitlin was fantastic! She was able to accommodate a very last minute request and even squeeze in a meet and greet first. She sent loads of pictures of my cat, and feels genuinely invested in animals care and well-being. Excellent and quick communication all along, as well. I can't wait to use her again!”
“Katie was fabulous, she took great care of Jasper & Joe. She sent 3 messages a day, along with a few pics. Messages & pics were incredibly helpful in my not worrying about Jasper & Joe. Overall, a great experience. I would highly recommend Katie for your pet needs.”
“Paloma was on time for every visit with my kitty! Making sure that she was seen twice a day for her medicine and food. When my cat was difficult about taking her pill, Paloma found a great workaround to get her to take it. She sent many pictures after each visit and spent their time doing what my cat wanted in that moment. I would highly recommend Paloma! I can home to a happy and healthy kitty.”
“Laurie did an awesome job watching Ziggy while we were away. He looked like he was having an amazing time every time Laurie stopped by and took pictures of him. Highly recommend and we will definitely be using Laurie again!”

“Mackenzie did a very nice job taking care of Luigi and Lucia! She fes them according to my directions (we have special feeders), and she was able to give my cat Luigi his insulin injections accurately and correctly.

About: I love making friends with new animals! I have lived with, house sat, and taken care of cats and dogs. No worries if your animal isn't the friendliest with other animals or people, I have experience with that too and can handle it. I'm really looking forward to a wonderful opportunity to learn about all the different animal breeds out there and experience all your animals best qualities! I have a lot of free time right now as I am between life chapters. Pet care fits in perfectly with my active lifestyle and desire to take care and hang out with animals! I am used to working with scheduled meal times and administering medication if necessary. Long walks (or runs if you want!) with special attention to animal interactions, friendly or unfriendly. Any information you have for what your animal likes to do, I can do!

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: Extensive experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, from raising my own dogs to working in my family’s pet care business! I am open to all medical miscellaneous needs. 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. I enjoy being around dogs, giving them all the scratches and belly rubs they desire. I live in a very safe, secluded, suburban neighborhood with lots of other dogs around.
“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!”
“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!”

About: I love animals and have fostered countless cats and dogs for the last 40 years. I am sensitive to their overt body language and needs. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I can make myself available for last minute care or emergencies, and can be readily reached for updates re the pet I’m caring for. I work for Trusted Pet Sitters and have been taking care of many pets in their homes in that process. I care for cats and dogs in their environment and know how to make them feel safe and loved in their owners’ absence.
“Ana Maria did a great job caring for my dog. She gave her extra attention, as my pup was having separation anxiety following a recent move. Ana has a calm nurturing way about her, and it's apparent she loves dogs. I will definitely use her services again!”
“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.

At the client's home, I follow all his specific instructions to maintain the pet's routine, respecting his habits and individual needs."
“Natali took such great care of our 11 month old puppy during his first overnight stay away from home. She was patient, communicative, and kept us updated throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. Even though he was a little nervous from being in a new environment, she was incredibly understanding and attentive to his needs. We could tell he was well cared for and had a great time with Natali and Rocko. We’d absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
“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!”
“Rosie is having so much fun with Brooke and Willow! Every picture Brooke sends shows Rosie looking happy as a clam and she’s super excited in the morning when she realizes she’s at Willow’s house. Thanks for wearing her out!!!”
About: I have been always a pet lover since my childhood I grow up around many different species of animals. I had rabbits, small birds, big parrots , guinea pigs, and many stray cats and dogs that my family rescued from the streets of Brazil which is my original place of birth. I think the joy, companionship and unconditional love they give to us It’s priceless. Pets are amazing and very special to me because they make my life so much happier. I work most days from home as a dog groomer, which give me the flexibility to play with my puppies and yours during the day and take care of their needs at night. I have two friendly golden retrievers names, Rocky and Skyla they enjoy to play and meet new friends. I currently offer play groups two times per week at my house where they can get to play and run around with other dogs. I also have a huge backyard all fenced and with cameras to make sure our babies are safe and secured all the time. During the summer, they can enjoy themselves playing inside the dog pool with sprinklers and doing other water activities to freshen up but if they prefer they can just relax under the shade of the one many trees in the backyard . They are going to feel that they are in a pet resort where they can run free and happy during their stay. Pick up and drop off are available near my area as well a discount on GROOMING for new guests.. I accept dogs of any age and with any limitations and physical disability If you are looking for someone reliable and trustful to take care of your fur baby I am here to help you . Thank you and I am looking forward to meet you and your pet soon. 🐶🐕🦮🐩🐕🦺 I work from home most days which allows me to spend a lot of time with my dogs and play with them outside in the backyard. My backyard is all fenced and we have cameras but even so the dogs are never left alone outside . All plants and flowers are safe for pets so you don’t need to worry about them eating anything dangerous.

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: Have two of my own fur babies (said babies are 10 years old lol) but have experience with dogs all ages. Whether your dog wants to chill or play lots of tug of war, I’ll meet them where they’re at! I’m comfortable with different personalities getting to know each dog :-) Taking care of pets is just part of my everyday life. I’ve got two dogs of my own. Daily life includes feeding, playing and talking to them like they understand English. On a weekly basis, I’m used to handling baths, brushing, cleaning up messes (because, dogs). I care for pets in their own space where they feel comfy. I stick to their usual routine. I treat your home with care and keep you updated with check ins
About: I am attentive, patient, kind, and empathetic toward all animals. I’ve spent my whole life around pets, grew up with four huskies, and have always wanted more pets in my life. I currently have two cats, a senior named Gatsby and a kitten named Pippin. I look forward to meeting and caring for your pets! I work from home full time and set my own schedule, so I can be flexible with timing of walks and drop in home visits. I have a car and easy access to all forms of transportation. I can visit your home and stick to your and your pets’ routines, or pop by in the middle of the day for walks and trips to the dog park.
“I think Matthew for the two quick walks this week. It was so helpful and you took care of Luna and I appreciate your feedback and I appreciate you walking her. I will definitely ask you again to walk her. Thank you so much.”
“Kristin has been amazing with Stella and Milo! She is able to adjust to both of them during walks and spend time with them at home when needed! Making my working days really more enjoyable knowing they are both well taken care of!:)”
About: I've had dogs on and off since I was a kid. From Great Danes to Jack Russel Terriers. I used to be the manager of a horse barn, so I'm used to all kinds of things. I have taken care of all kinds of friends pets, and done some house sitting. I generally get along with most dogs. Likewise, I do understand that sometimes it might take a while for an animal to warm up. All animals have personalities. I work full time, but can do evenings, and weekends. Or if an extended period of time is needed I can stay in the home and make sure your pet isn't left without a companion. If you need a pet sat in the house, I can definitely do more walks and more play time. I don't currently have something set up for in my home. But in a client's home it would depend on their wants and needs. This may vary, and I am adaptable.

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!”
“From the meet and greet to our pup, Indy's, overnight stay, Elliot and his wife were wonderful. Boarding with strangers always worries me because Indy is quite large and can be leash aggressive and anxious when he's all alone. Even with just an overnight stay, he was actually able to calm down, eat something, and allow pets and scratches with Elliot. We will definitely go back to them for boarding!”
“Belinda was wonderful with our furbaby and sent us an update each day. She was very accessible by text and easy to communicate with. Our dog got along well with her dog, Sloane, who is a sweetie. Also, she has the perfect fenced in yard for the dogs to play! We will certainly work with Belinda again!”
“Bowser seems to have had a wonderful time with Rebecca and her family! The photo updates were great to share with our kiddos so they could see he was having a nice vacation too 😊”
“I think my dog likes Liz more than me! He was happy to see me again and to come home, but if he could have, he would have moved her and her place in next door to us. Liz is gentle, picks up on important cues from the dogs, is thorough and just great. There was a complication in our premade arrangements with another sitter the night before we were scheduled to fly out of the country that could have ruined our 2 week honeymoon in Japan. Liz really stepped up for Rover and for us. She’s the very best.”
“Brooke and her family took care of our pup like she was literally one of their own - they brought her along on many adventures and gave her all the love she could possibly want! We hope to have Willow stay with them many more times!”
“Lindsay is so friendly and truly cares about the well-being of the animals she cares for. She went above and beyond to ensure our anxious pup gets the extra care she needs. I would highly recommend her. It's so comforting knowing your fur baby is in good hands!”
“Michelle has become my sweet boy Rocco’s home away from home. I can’t say enough good things about her and her family! Rocco LOVES going to Michelle’s to hang out while we are away. I remember thinking back to how nervous I was to leave him with somebody that wasn’t family, and now I am fortunate to say I don’t worry one bit. We have used Michelle so many times over the past few years and are so lucky to have found somebody so wonderful.”
“Lori took such great care of our very energetic golden retriever. She shared daily updates and pictures and our girl had such a great time! we will happily be using her again!”
