“My dog enjoyed his stay at Pamela and Yocheved. They are wonderful people who paid attention and cared for my puppy. They fed and gave the puppy treats as requested. The puppy slept in their bed. I have been receiving daily updates. Thank you!”
“Tara was amazing with Mochi. We went on three separate trips during June and were really worried about leaving Mochi so much. But Tara loved on Mochi as much as we do and Mo loved staying with her. I have never seen Mo so excited to go to a sitter's house! Tara kept us updated with pictures and spoiled Mo every time! We are so thankful to Tara, Leo, and of course, the beautiful Allston for their hospitality!”
“Katherine is amazing! She took such good care of our dog Luca for 3-4 days while we were out of town. She gave him plenty of exercise and snuggles. We really appreciated daily pictures and videos, it made us feel comfortable that Luca was so happy with her. Would highly recommend.”
“Andrea has been Mylo’s sitter for a few months now and we know that every time he’s there, he’s with family. My husband and I cannot express enough how grateful we are to work with Andrea. It’s clear her entire family embraces each animal under their care as their own.”
“Alan and Ying were great! They took excellent care of Nori, and we had regular updates. Nori loves playing with their dogs and from updates, she had a ton of fun.”
“Junho might be the best sitter in the North Cambridge area. When it comes to caring for your dog, the most important aspect is genuine love and care. You can tell that your dog is having a blast by checking the constant photos and live updates from Junho. As you can see from those photos, it's easy to tell how much love my dog was given during this stay. Furthermore, Junho was really flexible in fitting my schedule, which was out of the ordinary due to having a baby. If you need someone to take care of your dog, it's Junho”
“Sara was great. I had an emergency and needed a sitter earlier than we had planned. She readily agreed to take Abby for the extra days before and after the original booking. As usual, Abby was happy and treated like the princess she knows she is!”
“Hyesoo and her family were absolutely AMAZING! I can’t leave enough stars! Hyesoo sent me many pictures and videos as well as a detailed schedule daily. She was so accommodating and made the stay for our pup absolutely wonderful and worry-free on our end. I would highly recommend her!!”
“Zelun was so good with our dog. We will definitely be using zelun in the future. He sent lots of photos and had great communication. He also brought Iggy on many adventures each day like the park and nice walks!”
“We love Emily!!! Our dog was so comfortable at her home. Emily treated him like family. Her home is cozy, comfy and safe. She took him on long nature walks. Will definitely use her services again. Highly recommend!”
“Our dog has just had her 3rd successful stay with Michael! She's a rescue dog we adopted 9 months ago and, well, her nickname is scaredy-dog. Michael is great with letting her just be her weird little self (that we love to bits) and is genuinely excited to see & experience her progress. He's our "go to" for doggie boarding!”
“I contacted Jing last-minute for an overnight stay. She was super-responsive, and during the stay she sent me photos and updates. My dog Bobo seemed happy and got plenty of time out in the yard with her pooches. I would definitely send him there again if she is available!”
“Natalie is phenomenal!!! She took such great care of Teddy. Her communication was outstanding, sending pictures and texts throughout the day. Such a sweet and kind person that you will feel so comfortable leaving your dog with.”
“Channah and Ashu took incredible care of my dog while I was away for 10 days. Channah sent daily updates with lots of photos, and my pup clearly had an incredible time. I would highly recommend them and will definitely use them again in the future!!”
“This is our second time leaving our dog with Robert and his family. Once again we could not have asked for better sitters for our Snowy. So nice and responsive, send daily updates, love our dog. What more could you ask for?”
“Anna watched my 11 year old pup Jersey while we went out of town for a few days. She helped me get very comfortable by sending frequent photos and videos with updates. She even went to pick up food after discovering I hadn’t packed quite enough for his extended stay. I will definitely be back and highly recommend. Thanks for taking such great care of my boy!”
“This was at least the 4th time (I lost count) Melissa has taken care of our beloved attention seeking, affectionate, squirrel chasing beautiful dog. Melissa is kind and thoughtful. She proactively offered extra days when our flight was cancelled due to snow! She takes extraordinarily good care of our dog. I can’t praise her enough!”

“Kathryn did a great job caring for my two senior cats. One of them is diabetic and she knows how to give insulin injections, which is great! Highly recommend using Kathryn in the future”
“Clare was wonderful with my 2 cats. She followed the instructions well and gave thorough reports (and pictures!) from her check-ins. My cats don’t usually warm up to a new caretaker right away but seemed to really like her. I also appreciate that she came over ahead of time to meet them and review their care instructions. I would definitely book Clare again in the future.”
“Sandra was great and took good care of our kitties while we were away for 3 weeks. We were sent daily pictures of them and came back to 2 healthy and settled cats. She was very good about visiting the same time each day and took into account the time difference so that I could go to bed knowing that my babies had been taken care of. Thanks Sandra!”

“Did a great job making sure our three cats were taken care of and fed while we were away! Would definitely recommend her if you need help with your fur babies and we would definitely rebook her services in the future if she is available!”

Thank you so much for taking care of Mocha on short notice and for treating her so well!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Newton
Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
“I could not be happier with Maria and Caesar. My dog, Gary, can be a nervous little guy but by day 2, he was already happy to see Caesar at drop off and Caesar was excited to see him too! Maria sends me pictures and updates every day Gary is with them which gives me peace of mind while I’m at work. They’ve been really flexible with drop off and pick up times and have even accepted last minute bookings. I can’t say enough good things about Maria and Caesar and if Gary could talk, I’m sure he would say the same.”
“I’ve known Junho and his adorable dog Boki since Boki was just a tiny three-month-old puppy, back when we first met in our apartment building. Over the years, I’ve seen how much care Junho gives to Boki, and how gentle and kind he is with other dogs he meets on their walks. When Junho started Rover, I knew right away that I could trust him with T-Rex. My dog requires extra care and attention due to specific conditions, and Junho followed all of my instructions thoroughly. He even sent me multiple photos and updates without me having to ask, which gave me so much peace of mind. If you’re looking for a sitter, I highly recommend Junho. He’s easy to work with, and his wonderful dog Boki will make a great companion for yours. Boki is super friendly and loves to play, but also knows how to give space if another dog isn’t in the mood.”
“Andrea has been lovely to work with, my dog Kiko has really enjoyed daycare with her and is always happy when I pick him up. She is very reliable and communicative and has made our first Rover experience a very good one. I will definitely continue to come to Andrea when Kiko needs a sitter!”
“Indrajeet accepted our reservation at the last minute, which ended up being wonderful luck for us. What a kind and caring dog sitter. Monk and LouLou were immediately at ease. Fear not and book now. A wonderful experience!”
“Michelle is amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure my dog was comfortable and felt safe during the meet and greet and first full visit. He came home happy tuckered out after a great day. Would definitely recommend!”
“Jamie was wonderful! Kind, considerate, great communicator. My dog Eddie had such a happy day in her and her family’s care. We definitely look forward to next time!!”
“She is an amazing sitter! She gave frequent updates throughout the day, and really appreciated that she went above and beyond by sending a lot of pictures. Also, I really appreciate her flexibility. If you’re in Boston, highly recommend her as your pet sitter. Go Greta (and Juniper)! 🫶✨”
“So grateful for Lauren for talking amazing care of Arlo for us! Quick response for a last minute booking for daycare and Arlo had a great time! Will definitely be rebooking!”
“Shuhua is kind and very professional. Hermes ( my little Yorkie) was very happy with her. She is trust worthy and is a great communicator. I am sure Hermes is missing her companion ship. I will recommend her without any hesitancy. Thank you Sue.”
“Great experience. Andrea was quick on replies, sent updates, and our pup seemed happy after some socializing time at her place. Thank you, Andrea!”
“Ismael was great! He took good care of our 1 year old dog, sent us updates periodically, was flexible on drop off and pick up time, and communicated well. We will definitely be going back to him.”
“My pup has done daycare with Jason three times now and she runs up to his front door excited each time. Jason shares photos and videos each day and maps of their walks and bathroom breaks. He’s a great communicator and it’s so comforting to leave my (big) dog with him when I’m at work knowing she’s fully taken care of. Can’t recommend him enough!”
“Alan took excellent care of my young dog who is something of an escape artist. Pilot enjoyed his time with Alan and I enjoyed knowing that Pilot was happy and safe.”
“Jacqueline was great. She watched our dog while we went to a show in town and even though it was only a few hours she sent us photos and took him outside twice! She definitely made him feel comfortable enough to quiet down and snuggle. Would recommend her if you need a dog sitter in the Boston area!”
“Tara & Logan were great! My almost 3yo Cavachon loved her time with them - especially time at the dog park. They were very flexible when my husband was running late to pick up our girl, and even though I was out of town I was very happy to get photos of her snuggling and running around. Muffin will definitely be back!”
“Lindsay is the best! This was our second time using her services, and we feel so comfortable leaving our pup Sammy in her care. She takes great care of Sammy, who is always happy to spend time Bentley. Highly recommend!”

About: Growing up my sisters and I started a dog walking business and offered our services to all the neighbors. We walked and played with dogs of all breeds and sizes! I’m currently working as a college softball coach and looking to fill up my my schedule! My schedule varies depending on the season, and my days being wide open in the off-season. I treat all pets like my own, making sure they are fed and played with like I know my Wayne would like. They deserve all the pets!

“Traci has been perfect for our girl. We are so grateful that she was able to take Cora for a walk on such short notice. She then helped create a plan for us as we only adopted Cora a week ago! We look forward to hopefully many more walks with Traci.”
“Johnna, walk our dog for them first time today. Great with her communication, which made everything easy. Sent pictures and provided a detailed account of her visit. Would absolutely have Johnna walk Charlie again anytime.”
About: I have genuine experience for 10+ years. I love meeting new pets and making them happy. Family Friends, Neighbors, etc. I’ve done it all! I’m currently working remote and have a very flexible schedule. Whenever you need me (even if it’s last minute) I’ll be there! I’ll make sure to play with the dog and run around with them. If that cat just wants to chill, that works for me!
About: Hi, I’m Sabrina! I’ve been caring for pets for 8 years, and nothing makes me happier than getting to know each animal’s unique personality. I work with both dogs and cats and have experience with everything from tiny puppies to slow‑moving seniors, from shy kitties to big, energetic dogs. I grew up in a family that owned two Shar‑Peis, so I’m very comfortable with stubborn, reactive, or strong‑willed breeds. I understand body language, thresholds, and how to build trust with pets who need a little extra patience. Whether your dog is still learning manners or your cat prefers a quiet observer, I meet every animal where they are. I currently have a very open schedule, so pet care fits easily into my day. I’m home most of the time and can adjust to your pet’s routine, whether you need morning, midday, or evening visits. I care for pets in their own home so they can stay relaxed in a familiar space. I follow your routines exactly, keep your home secure, and double‑check doors and gates before leaving. I’m respectful of your space and send updates so you always know your pet is safe and comfortable.
“Wendy’s great with Bebe! I love that she can always accommodate my last-minute requests. She has walked Bebe a few times, and Bebe always has a great time with her. Wendy always makes sure she’s okay after the walk and feeds her if needed. I really appreciate how reliable and caring she is!”
About: I am a registered nurse with a lifelong love of animals. I have always had pets since I was a little girl. I worked at an animal hospital throughout high school and college, I gained a lot of pet care experience there. I also worked on a farm growing up where I took care of horses, cats and dogs! I know how important it is to trust someone with your animals, as I have 2 kitties I care for very much! I am confident in handling all types of pet personalities and needs. I currently work 3 days per week not on a set schedule. I have 4 days off per week which is why I would love to do dog walking/sitting on those off days! I live in a dog friendly neighborhood in Watertown, MA. I love to walk around Fresh Pond, I also live near several dog parks! I can’t wait to meet your pup :)
“Nicholas was great with our very energetic, high-maintenance pup! He was very accommodating to a last minute request and I could tell Hazel was tired out after their walks together!!”

“Great with communication! Lucy agreed to my last minute booking and was kind enough to make a meet and greet happen given tight schedules. My plans fell through last minute so I no longer needed her service, but I would absolutely try again!”
About: I have lived in Newton, MA all of my life and know some great trails and hikes for an awesome long walk for your pup! I have taken care of my Australian Shepherd, Dakota, and have worked alongside my mom in boarding dogs for over 6 years. I am a reliable and trusting caretaker and prioritize the needs of each individual dog in regards to their energy level, health, age, and comfort levels with people and public situations. I have a strong love for dogs and care about giving them the best possible care. I am available for long walks for high energy dogs, or walks around the neighborhood and check ins for when you are away. I look forward to taking good care of your pup! I am currently working part time as I prepare for law school to start in the fall, so I will have lots of time to care for a pet! I will be able to provide many walks during the day, and give my undivided attention! I live in a house with a fully fenced large backyard, and across the street from the carriage lane on commonwealth ave. My home is very pet friendly.
About: Hi! I’m someone who absolutely loves spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just hanging out for some snuggles, I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own. I’m reliable, easygoing, and always pay attention to the little details that make each pet unique. You can count on me to keep tails wagging and give you peace of mind while you’re gone! I am currently only working part time, so I have a very flexible schedule! I usually base my day around pet care for my own dog as well! I have a very friendly dog who can keep your dog company! I can take them for walks up the street or to the dog park whichever you prefer!
