“I don’t usually leave reviews for anything! I was nervous to leave my pups but my usual place was full. I looked on Rover saw Paola and her great reviews and decided to give it a go. It worked out great my dogs were happy and well cared for! I think they may have been sad to leave:). It is nice that had the other dogs and that awesome yard to run in all day. Great experience and highly recommend.”
“We loved Andreana so much that we decided to send Titus to her for one overnight. His experience and our experience with her was over the top wonderful. We'll be sending Titus to her anytime we need a sitter.”

“This was our puppy Clover’s first night away from home since we got her, and we are super glad she was with Briana! Briana has a great dog set up at her home, it was like summer camp for dogs. She was a fast communicator and kept us updated with funny pictures of Clover throughout her stay. She came home tired from all her playing! We would definitely recommend Briana and Clover can’t wait to see her again :)”

“Recently we lost one of our two dogs. We had a trip planned for only a couple weeks later and had to board our second dog alone for the first time. Gabe was an excellent choice and probably the most knowledgeable in training that we have had so far! He was communicative, responsible, and made us feel completely confident while we were gone! Definitely will be giving him a call again for our trips.”
“Elaine is so sweet, and absolutely amazing with our dogs! They had a great time in her care and didn't want to leave when I picked them up. I would definitely use her again!”
“Kira and Steve are fantastic! They go out of their way to make sure Jax feels comfortable, and us too ... by sending lots of great pics and updates! We love the playtime he gets with other dogs there. We never like leaving Jax, but knowing how comfortable he is at Kira and Steve's makes us feel so much better :). Thanks!”
“My dog Fiona Loves Lingwen she was great with Fifi and she is good with all her dogs in general I was very impressed she took the time to keep me updated sending me pictures of Fifi about all the fun stuff they were doing I was almost afraid my dog would not want to come home with me. Thanks so much for making my Fifi feel so at 🏡”
“Svetlana welcomed S. Punki into her family so that we felt like he was on a vacation too! We got daily feedback, with photos, videos, and messages. Svetlana asked questions when she wasn't sure, and was kind and caring. We could not ask for more. I definitely recommend Svetlana and hope to leave S. Punki in her care when we travel again.”

“Nicole took fantastic care of my little kitten! Hamilton is a young rescue, and had only been in his new home for a few weeks, so I was nervous leaving him for the weekend, but Nicole kept him safe, happy, and loved. She sent tons of pictures and great updates every day, and always knowing how he was doing was extremely comforting. I came home to a very happy little guy! Her love of animals is very clear and Hammy took to her right away. I appreciated her compassion, promptness, and professionalism and I would highly recommend using Nicole as your next pet sitter! She will certainly be my first choice when I need someone to care for Hammy in the future.”
“It was such a charm to have Jessica take care of our cat during the busy holiday time in December. She is very prompt with timely responses, was able to understood our situation so well that she even proactively assisted us with a basement water leak problem when we were away. Saved us from a lot of damage during our absence. Would love to have Jessica sit for our cat any day.”
“Kim was so awesome taking care of Luna! She followed all instructions and provided love/care for my cat. I've never booked a pet sitter but I'm glad I did with Kim she's so nice and responsive!”
“Xuni took wonderful care of our two cats while we were away. She was not only responsive, but also truly caring and responsible. She didn’t just feed and clean up after them—she took the time to play, give them treats, and earn their trust. The daily photos and videos she sent gave us so much peace of mind. She even went above and beyond by watering our tomato plants every day. We’ll definitely ask her to help again in the future. Highly recommended!”
“Thank you, Briana for helping us out with our elder girl. She is happiest when she gets to stay in her own home:) Thank you for being available when we needed you!”
“Kathy was great watching Samson while I was away! She was super communicative and went an extra mile when my cats autofeeder was not working! She gave peace of mind that he would be taken care of no matter what while I was gone!”
“Awesome as always!! Will continue to be a repeat customer as long as she’s providing the service. Always great with my cats, they love her. She sends updates and pictures, very happy to have found her on here”
“Jen is a responsible and responsive cat sitter. She takes good care of the cats and always makes time to play with them. She provides me with feedback about their eating and play behaviors, reassuring me that she took time to interact with them. The photos she sents show relaxed and interactive kitties. This is the second time we used her services and we have already booked her for a next time. We highly recommend Jen as a cat sitter.”
“Kevin took great care of my cats and made me feel a lot better about leaving them alone for the first time. I was unusually anxious, but he came over to meet me and them and learn their routine, and made me feel comfortable right away. He was very patient with Biscuit, who's shy, and I could tell Mango felt comfortable around him. Will definitely book with him again the next time I need a cat sitter.”
“Paulina is our go-to pet sitter for our neurotic fur-babies. We appreciate her tireless efforts to get our more anxious cat to eat and regular updates on the boys. Will always book if available!”
“Holly was great! This is the second time she watched our cat Cricket, but this time for a longer period, and it's clear from the pictures that Cricket was very happy with her! Holly was very communicative despite us being in a different time zone, and we loved the pictures she took. We'll definitely book with Holly again!”
“Georgina did a wonderful job taking care of our kitties! She sent us a report every day of how things went and also sent great photos. Our cats our shy but they went to greet Georgina at the door. She took the time to play with our cats and was patient when they were being shy. I highly recommend Georgina and would definitely hire her to take care of our cats in the future!”
“When you’re away, you don’t want to have to worry about anything back home. That’s what Sara brings is a peace of mind. Thank you Sara for taking such good care of my babies!!”
“Jennifer took care of my 2 kitties. She provided updates with photos of the girls. Sometimes they can be shy and hide, but they both came out for her during each visit.”
“This was our first cat care by Virginia, and we were delighted with our experience with her! She was very professional in making sure to meet our cat Coby and us in advance, and to learn about his environment and needs. We very much appreciated the photo AND VIDEO updates from each visit. We highly recommend Virginia!”
“Shelly was an amazing pet sitter and she did a fantastic job taking care of my cat! She followed all instructions, sent updates, and communicative. I would love to use her services again. Highly recommend!”
“Kelly is an amazing cat sitter, took care of our little monsters not only for their basic needs but also going the extra mile trying to make them happy with a little more time to make them comfortable. Thanks so much, and see you next time! Cheers, Martin”

“Elaine has a knack for putting our somewhat anxious Ipo at ease. She can sense Elaine is a patient, serious dog lover with years of experience caring for many clients as well as her own Brady. Elaine’s flexible, very easy to work with. We’re booking a 2wks boarding , first time away in years! Highly recommend”
“Meli took such great care of my fur baby! From the moment I was in touch with Meli, I felt safe and excited about the opportunity to have Ollie spend the day with her and her pup Nina. She was warm and assuring, and very quick to respond to messages! When I met Meli in person to drop Ollie off, I was happy to find such a friendly and kind person in real life, too! She sent me photos and updates throughout the 6 hours that Ollie was with her for “day care” (without me even needing to ask!) and I could tell he was having fun and being taken care of so well! I would absolutely recommend Meli and would love to have Ollie stay with her again if we need a sitter in Bloomington. Thanks Meli! ?”
“Melissa and her family took very good care of my pups when I needed last minute help. I was very grateful for their kindness and quick communication throughout the day. Will definitely use again when needed. Thank you!!”
“Mipha's first time at daycare after her spay, she was so excited to finally get to play with other doggies. Melissa made sure to update with plenty of pictures and videos. She was also very quick in replying to any messages/questions/requests you may have.”
“My pup, Beau enjoyed his time with Victoria and her two dogs a lot; he was very happy when I picked him up and will look forward to spending much more time with Victoria and her lovely home with a fenced-in yard.”
About: I have always had a love and passion for animals. I have grown up with dogs, cats, chickens, even a pet turtle. Each animal brought me so much happiness and I considered my pets as family members. Growing up, I have cared for friends, neighbors, and family members pets. Animals made me who I am today! I have an open schedule as I am currently in between jobs. While on my job search, I want to spend my time around pets giving them love and care. I know the value of being a trustworthy, attentive, and reliable sitter. I have a clean spacious home, a yard, and I currently don’t own any pets of my own. Your pet will be treated like family here receiving lots of affection so they feel at home while you’re away.
“Maeve took excellent care of our puppy, Barnaby. It was his first time with a sitter, and first time meeting another dog, and Maeve made it so easy. She communicated with me promptly, sent photos, and Barnaby loved being with her. 100% recommend.”
About: In my house or yours! What sets me apart is that I offer truly personalized, low-volume care in a calm home environment. Mine or yours. I only take one or two guest dogs at a time, so your dog gets lots of individual attention, affection, and supervision — not the chaos of a large kennel or crowded daycare setting. I’ve cared for six dogs of my own throughout my life and loved every one of them through all stages of life, including senior years and end-of-life care. I understand how important routines, patience, comfort, and trust are when caring for someone’s beloved pet. I love all dogs, but my home is especially well-suited for: • Dogs who prefer a quieter environment • Dogs needing medication or special routines • Dogs who don’t do well in large group settings • Dogs who are not friendly with other dogs* • Owners looking for flexible pickup/drop-off times Your dog will enjoy a fully fenced backyard, one daily leash walk, personalized feeding and medication schedules, and lots of companionship throughout the day. Plus flexible pick up and drop-off times. My goal is simple: I want your dog to feel safe, relaxed, loved, and at home while you’re away. I am willing to take 3 dogs, but only if they all come from the same home. *If you require your dog to be the ONLY dog in the household, please reach out to me before booking. I work primarily from home, so dogs in my care receive lots of companionship, supervision, outdoor time, and attention throughout the day — not long periods left alone. In my home, dogs are treated like part of the family with plenty of supervision, companionship, outdoor time, a daily walk, and personalized feeding or medication schedules. I only care for one or two dogs at a time to maintain a calm, low-stress environment. In a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away.
About: I have have experience owning dogs from chihuahua size to vizsla size, and experience fostering/house sitting everything in between. I love dogs around here, and will be treated like family. Your pet will stay home with me and my 11 year vizsla all day. He/she will have immediate access to our 2 acre of wooded and yard property as often as needed. We also take 2-5 mile hikes often, and they are welcome to join. Your pet will have Watson, our super friendly and active 11 ye old Vizsla for company as well as 2acres to explore. Cold winter days are spent in front of a wood stove fire, and the rest of the time pets are welcome (if not encouraged!) to spend time on sofas and beds for snuggles and naps. Dogs are family here.
“Kona had a wonderful time at Joanne's and she came home completely exhausted! Joanna kept in contact with us all day sending pictures and even videos! Will be using her next time we need a place for Kona to stay!”
“Lingwen was awesome! Very responsive. Ready right at drop off and pick up times. So sweet and careful with our little Princess that our puppy felt safe almost immediately after meeting her. Her place is beautiful, with plenty of space for our puppy to explore and play with others. She took great pictures and videos that kept us up to date on how our puppy was doing througout the stay. We'll definitely be back. Highly recommend!”
“Paola is the BEST! Our Stella Jo bounds out of the car with joy and comes home tired and happy. If this dog sitter career ever gets tiresome, she would be a wonderful pet photographer! Our whole family loves all the great pics!”
“Our pup has enjoyed spending days with Dawn and it is especially nice for us to have a place where she can comfortably interact with young children, as we don’t have that opportunity to offer her at home. Dawn also has a great fenced in backyard with lots of interesting things to smell and ways to run around and work off energy, which is great for both our pup and for us when we pick her up and know that she’s had a fun filled active day!”
“Cindy is so attentive to all the dogs that she cares for, there is great outdoor space for them to play, a lovely screened in porch and inside her home by her side to rest. I trust her and her two pups are so good with all doggie guests! So glad I found her, Daisy and Gummy!”
“Emma was great! Prompt, communicative, and obviously cares for my pet as if she were her own. We needed a doggy daycare for our 11 week old aussiedoodle and Emma was more than capable to care for our pup. Also has a fenced in back yard, which I know my pup enjoyed. Thank you Emma! I appreciate you!!!”

“Vicky and her family were wonderful with Athena! She got lots of love and attention, and I received updates throughout. She came home happy and content. I would definitely use them again.”
“Brigette took wonderful care of our beagle puppy when we needed day care! She gave him one on one personal attention, played with him, took him on multiple walks a day, and sent him home tired, which we appreciated! She sent pictures throughout the day to update us on his activities. He loved going and was always excited to see her. We highly recommend her!!!”

“Ben has been taking excellent care of my puppy Dexter. He is only 9 weeks old and has a crazy amount of energy. He has been going in 2 times a day which is a lot! He always quickly responds when I reach out to him. I love the pics he sends because Dexter looks super happy. Thank you Ben!”
“Could not recommend her enough! She’s helped out my puppy journey so much. My pup loves when she comes over! He looks forward to it everyday! Also made sure to come over to met my dog before their first walk! Every responsible!!”
“Chelsea was great communicating and sharing updates. Our poodle was initially shy, and she was very patient and caring until he got comfortable. We’ll definitely have her check on and walk our dog again. Highly recommend her.”
“Louca worked wonders for us and our super reactive miniature dachshund. His patience, knowledge, and professional and positive attitude were a huge relief after searching for and failing to find someone to look after our dog when we were away for short periods. Louca has given us so much hope for our little puppy’s future and we look forward to working with him again! Thank you Louca !!”
“Georgina is wonderful! Our 1 year old pup absolutely adored her, and she provided great updates and photos after each walk while we were away. We hope to work with Georgina again soon!”
“Gabriela was excellent! She was very responsive and our pup was in great hands with her! Our 7 month old puppy had a blast on her walk and we will certainly reach out to Gabriela in the future”
About: My husband and I live with our 7 and 4 yr old girls in a sidewalk lined Westborough neighborhood. In your reservation, please mention any behavioral patterns or phobias. (Does your dog take a while to do business outside? Does he or she squat several times? How long can he or she go without potty breaks? Do we have a runner?) Bring your pup, I'll bring the love and care! P.S. Please bring a crate for your dog if in the past, your dog has gotten into things and chewed. Many dog owners find themselves surprised that their dogs may exhibit destructive behavior at a sitter's house that they do not exhibit at home, like chewing and tearing things up. Your dog, in this case, will only be crated while we are out of the house. My husband works full-time, while I am home intermittently. But your baby will get lots of attention. During the weekdays, the house sits empty anywhere 3-5hrs. Your pet must be OK with that. I grew up with dogs: Scottish Terrier, Jack Russell Terrier, Rottweiler, Dachshunds, Chinese Crested, and Silky Terriers are the dogs my family members have owned and loved in my lifetime. I have no dogs of my own (anymore), but two little girls who just love and crave a dog in the house. If your dog is a no-no on little kids, this will not be a good fit for you.
“Nicole was great and exceeded my expectations. She came over to meet our dogs before we left on vacation and they instantly liked her. While on vacation she sent videos and pictures after every walk and was ALWAYS on time. She made my vacation worry free and I can’t thank her enough!”
About: I have had animals in my life all my life. I am comfortable working with dogs, cats, and small animals. I have also worked with animals that have special needs, specifically related to senior care. I am capable of giving meds and shots to animals. I currently work part-time for myself so I'm able to schedule around your animal's needs. I am able to walk animals up to three times today. The most important thing for an animal is to feel safe while it's owners are away. I am here to follow any routines that your pet already has to maintain a sense of security and calm.
“I have booked Julia for countless walks because she takes excellent care of my puppy, ZuZu! She has always gone the extra mile to communicate with me and give ZuZu all the exercise and attention she needs. Zuzu is a very energetic dog and can be challenging to walk at times, but Julia has always been on top of doing what works best for her to get her energy out! She always sends plenty of pictures and makes sure ZuZu has what she needs before she leaves. She is awesome with having a flexible schedule and responding super quick to my last minute requests and schedule changes. I will absolutely keep using her to care for my girl!”
“Kim is professional, trustworthy, and gets along with our pet extremely well. Originally we were going to hire Kim for about three months due to our health but it’s stretched out almost 6 months now. We give Kim our highest recommendation.”
“Ivan is an excellent dog sitter. He obviously loves dogs and he was attentive, calm, and thoughtful in his care. This was my first time using a dog sitter for taking my dog for walks, and I couldn't have gotten luckier in choosing Ivan to take my dog to the park and care obout my pet. Ivan takes the responsibility seriously and understands my dog behavior rather than treating it as a checklist. My dog usually has the anxieties. Ivan found the way to calm my dog and communicate with wonderful care. After couple walks withIvan my dog is very excited, waiting for Ivan to come and go to the park. Ivan isd professional, reliable, and easy to communicate with throughout. I felt confident leaving my dog in his care and would not hesitate to book Ivan again. I am highly recommend Ivan service.”
“Xuni did a great job walking Echo. She was on time, checked with me if it was ok to give my dog treats on the walk, and he didn’t want her to leave at the end of the walk.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats in my house since I was born and I’ve always been a part of walking, feeding, bathing, playing with, and giving meds to them. I have taken care of my dog who is elderly, has worn diapers and has experienced surgery and anesthetics. I really enjoy being around animals of all kinds! I only work about 1-3 hourly per day! I’m always around to hang out and play with pets. I always will have someone around the pets so they’ll never be alone. I know a lot of the behavioral signs of discomfort in animals, I always want the pets I’m working with to enjoy their time. I will always make sure a pet is in a safe and fitting environment for their needs. I have worked with pets who are sick, directly after surgery, and who need medication administered
“Krista and Henry are the best! I had been looking for the right sitter for my boy Barney for months, and I finally found them in Krista and Henry! I am the epitome of a paranoid helicopter parent, and Krista & Henry were absolutely wonderful in putting my mind at ease. They allowed me several meet & greets to ensure Barney and I were 100% comfortable, which was a huge deal for me. When the time came for Barney to stay with them, I received multiple updates with photos daily, which assured me my boy was doing great, receiving unlimited love and exceptional care and having fun. I highly recommend Krista and Henry and will definitely use them again in the future!”
“I would leave my fur babies with Bethany again in a heart beat! She and her son took excellent care of lily and Liam. They had a great time snuggling with them and they were able to meet new fur friends which they really needed since they don’t get a chance to play with other dogs since this messy Covid started!”
