“This was my first time leaving my puppy for such an extended period of time, and it was nerve wrecking trying to figure out how to keep Mushu safe, happy, and healthy while I was away. Thankfully, I came across Casey and Phil's profile. Met them and their dog Chloe for a meet and greet far in advance, heard about their extensive experience with dogs, and got to see Mushu interact with them in person. Spent way too long talking to them about anything and everything, and they were very patient with me and my concerns. Casey was also super helpful with reassurances, frequent updates, pictures, and videos. Overall, great experience. Heard Mushu was anxious for a bit because it was such a new experience, but he seemed content to play and receive all the love and attention while he was there. Thank you for caring for my baby!”
“Ciara was wonderful with our 5 yr old Rottweiler. She put us all at ease right from the beginning. Our dog played well with her dog as well. It was wonderful to receive updates on how our doggy was settling in. Thank you Ciara!! From Maria & Jackie”
“Amy and Jonathan took wonderful care of my dogs. Sent me updates and pictures daily. I would 100% recommend them. Definitely book with them again. A million thanks 😊 to Amy!”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dogs received! This family truly love animals and treat them like family. They kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. My dogs came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and compassionate dog sitter. I will definitely be booking with them again!”
“Our dog has been staying with Jenna and Michael the past couple years whenever we go out of town and I am convinced he looks forward to our vacation more than us. He is extremely well taken care of and has the time of his life playing with them and their pup Chase. He comes home happy and exhausted. 😊. Thanks for taking such great care of him!”
About: I have walked and taken care of dogs since I was super young. I have a young creme and is my world and I treat every dog like it was my own. I haven’t worked in years and both my girls are in school so my schedule is very flexible. I enjoy exercise as well plus I walk my pup daily I have a huge fenced in yard where the dogs can play and lots of room to run around and act like a dog and play
“Ben and Natalie took wonderful care of my girl, Denali, for a week while I was away, and I couldn’t have been happier with the experience! They were great with communication and sent me plenty of photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. Denali had the best time and loved getting to play with the other dogs. It was so nice knowing she was happy, safe, and well cared for while I was gone. I would absolutely recommend Ben and Natalie and will definitely have them watch Denali again!”
“I couldn’t be happier!! She was flexible with time and dates of when I could bring the dogs and pick them. She treated them like they were her babies. We will be rebooking soon!!!”
“Jennifer was amazing. Highly recommend hiring her to watch your pet. Communication was flawless from start to finish, and she was always incredibly quick to respond to my text updates. I loved receiving the photos she sent throughout the weekend, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She truly went above and beyond to make my dog feel at home. She spent time playing fetch—my dog's absolute favorite game—and was highly observant and adaptable when Daisy interacted with her own two dogs, ensuring all the pups felt safe and comfortable. To top it all off, she even sent my dog home with a toy she had fallen in love with during her stay. I will absolutely be booking her again!”
“I am so lucky to have found Rebecca, especially on such short notice. I was very nervous to leave my dog Cosmo for a family vacation, but she put my mind at ease right away. Cosmo can be a bit difficult and high maintenance, but Rebecca was willing to work with him and I couldn't have asked for a more patient and knowledgeable sitter for him. Thank you so much, Rebecca!”
“Alena and her husband were amazing dog sitters to our little puppy! He adjusted SO WELL with them and with May. They took such good care of him for two days and updated us daily with lots of videos and pictures, not to mention Alena went above & beyond to make sure we felt comfortable prior to actually dropping him off. We’ll definitely be using them to dog sit in the future! They were amazing!”
“Sarah and Ben took great care of Percy. He had a lot fun playing with other dogs and enjoyed getting cuddles from Sarah and Ben. We will definitely be back. Thank you again for taking such great care of of our big “puppy” :)”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since a very young age I love all different kinds of dogs and cats. I have a nice set up in my home and I have a fenced in yard so it feels a lot safer and private :) I have a quiet neighborhood and lots of places to walk ! I always provide lots of photos and constant communication with pet owners. I also helped my mom board dogs growing up so I also have experience in that as well. I’m currently in school and have mostly online classes so I’m pretty flexible. I also have a car that I can transport if need be. I love walking them and letting them play outside in the fenced yard! I have a dog proofed home:) I’m open to all requests, more communication the better !
“Anna responded quickly to my last minute request for doggie sitting. Anna was very friendly. I was a bit anxious about leaving my Vinny in a home with other pets but Anna reassured me that things would go smoothly and they did. Vinny made new friends and she was so kind to update me daily with photos of him and his new fur friends. I would 10/10 recommend Anna and co. to others and will be rebooking for future sits! Thanks Anna!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats since I was 9. I’ve owned aggressive / reactive dogs, dogs who need a lot of management, sport dogs, working dogs, and other animals with special needs. My personal dogs are elderly now and need more special care and I conduct all of it. I currently work a part time job Monday-Thursday from 9-3. My weekends are generally free as well! Overall my schedule is incredibly flexible. I have a well fenced in yard and basement entirely dedicated to dogs! You can look us up at Angie’s pet care (Middleboro Mass). But our boarding dogs are allowed to be on the other floors with us (only when supervised) but someone is home majority of the day.
“Tara was wonderful — we recommend her and would leave our dog in her care again. She communicated well and our dog was calm and happy when we picked her up after a two night stay.”
“John and Sharon were great when watching my chihuahua ruby. Ruby is nervous around new people and takes some time to warm up and they were very patient with her, and even got her to feel comfortable enough for some playtime - which I consider quite the success over the course of only a day! I’m sure ruby will be back to visit again soon.”

“I highly recommend Ciara! She genuinely loves animals. Her communications and pictures allowed me to relax while away and not worry about my sweet, senior cat. I would hire her again without any reservations.”
“Michelle was excellent with Sophie, my senior cat. Just before my vacation I knew Sophie would need a little extra TLC. Michelle took on the extra care and made me feel much better about leaving Sophie. Thank you!”
“We needed a last minute dog sitter to check on our elderly pug a few times while we were gone overnight. Candi was responsive and professional. We loved getting pictures and a report card of how our little guy was doing while we were gone. I highly recommend Candi and would absolutely book her again for upcoming trips!”
“Montana cared for my two cats for over a week and truly went above and beyond for them- even spoon feeding one when he was being a bit of a prince about eating. She was very respectful of my house and left everything clean. She even took out the trash and the litter genie bags at the end of the week which I did not ask for or expect! Thank you so much for taking such good care of them that I didn’t have to worry at all for the whole trip!”
“I cannot say enough good things about Mae. She was wonderful with my cats. She was reliable, punctual and followed all of my crazy requests. I felt comfortable being away. I hope she is available the next time I have to be out of town.”
“Jillian was a great sitter for my cat Nemo! She dropped in one him daily and sent me photos and videos of him. She was always very responsive to my texts and we had no issues with his care. Will definitely use Jill in the future!”
About: I have had a cat of my own for 14 years, and have cared for her through differing stages of her aging process and differing health needs. I was also the neighborhood cat sitter when neighbors went on vacation, watching up to two cats at a time with differing health needs. I have also cared for indoor and outdoor cats. I have felt so grateful to be able to care for my kitty, and I am excited to take care of yours while you’re away!
“Mandey took good care of our cat and plants for an extended time that we were away. She gave pills to our cat, changed the litter box weekly, brought in mail, and aired out the apartment as needed. Mandey was very communicative and thorough. We’d absolutely ask her to take care of our cat again.”
“Sarah provided several drop-in visits daily for my cat, Cole, while I was away for 5 days. The whole process from the meet and greet, to booking and services was very smooth. Sarah was kind and thoughtful in all of her updates, and took the time to care for Cole’s needs. Sarah is wonderful, and I’m so glad Cole received so much love and care while I was away.”
“This was our second time having Shana feed and visit with our 2 cats while we were away and just like the first time we were so pleased with her and had a great experience. Shana is quick to respond and made everything so easy. She made daily trips to the house and sent pictures of the cats which was so appreciated. We will absolutely use her again in the future!!”
“I've used Erin's drop-in pet sitting services twice and will continue to do so when traveling. I have two cats that eat multiple prepared meals a day with various supplements (I'm a crazy cat lady, guilty) and Erin is incredibly accommodating and had no problem following my preferred schedule. I also love that Erin is a knowledgeable vet tech, which really puts my mind at ease (and it was also helpful when one of my cats needed to be given medicine x2 daily). She responds quickly and keeps me in the loop at all times. What more could you want? I highly recommend her!”
“Brianna came to the rescue after another sitter didn't complete the caretaking adequately. The communication with her was great and the way she took care of Batman was perfect.”

About: Hi! I am Lakshmi and I personally have 7yrs of experience with dogs of all kinds. Me and my husband both love dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. We would love to take care of your pooch while you are away. We promise to provide brisk walks, fun playtime, and of course belly rubs and cuddling for your beloved dog. So that you can have a guilt free vacation of your own :) Our schedule is flexible and your dog will never be home alone for long. The couch and bed are never off-limits. We separate the dogs during feeding times and ** safety is out top priority**. So we make it a point to do a meet and greet for all the first time clients. We have a six-year-old Labrador retriever boy named "Bruno" whom we adore! He is neutered and is very friendly. We fully understand all the hard work, effort, and commitment which goes into raising our fur babies. I totally understand how much difficult it can be to be away from your pet. We will do our best to make your vacation stress free by giving regular updates on your pooch is doing. We both have our own full time jobs and I work from home. So, rest assured that your dog is never unattended for more than 2 hours except when we are at the gym or have some errands to run. We have a friendly dog of our own at home to keep your dog company 24/7. There is no fenced yard but we live in a beautiful community and we do long walks and park visits(when the weather permits).
“My two dogs had a great time with Dewayne and his dog! My dogs are very active and I can tell they had such a good time by how tired they were at the end of the day when I picked them up! Dewayne sent me the cutest pictures and videos! This was their first time with him but not their last! He took the time to find out any info needed about my dogs and he made me feel at ease!”
“Iliandra was fantastic. She sent me updates throughout the day and my puppy was actually smiling. I forgot to pack his food and she cooked chicken for him. Above and beyond service. Thank you!”

About: This home has 2 friendly dogs and 1 wonderful cat. Very pet friendly. I have 5 children and I also take care of my elderly Father in Law. I am experienced in puppies also as my 2 dogs has had 2 litters already which we found wonderful caring homes for. 🥰😍 I work from home. I also take care of my elderly disabled Father in Law.

About: I have been taking care of animals big and small for as long as I can remember! When I was in my early teens I started pet sitting, and once I was 18 I began working on local horse farms; mucking stalls, and learning as much as I could along the way. I take pride in knowing I am knowledgeable and dependable; I’ve fulfilled duties as grand as farm/kennel sitting- (meticulous care; maintaining medicine and feed schedules, cleaning services, turn in and out, organization of multiple and large quantity of animals at a time) …. I’ve spent time with all different types of personalities of all different species; aggressive ankle biters to couch potato gentle giants. Over the past decade and a half I have enjoyed the company of horses, goats, chickens, rabbits, pigs, cattle, dogs, cats, birds and reptiles. I love animals and I love providing quality care. I am observant and trustworthy- feel free to ask me anything!! I would like to make this more than part time! I have a very flexible schedule as of lately with no obligations aside from being busy a few early mornings out of the week; as I do work on a farm still as needed. Shoot me a message and let’s talk scheduling! I have a private backyard, not fenced in but I am more than vigilant and always have time and patience for leash walks and hikes, and leashed/supervised backyard shenanigans. Whatever you and your animal are comfortable with; we will make it happen and I can accommodate accordingly.
About: I grew up with black lab mixes, having at least one dog in the house all the time. I helped to raise two of the family black lab puppies through 15 years and care for the next generation, a 2 year old black lab/border collie rescue pup, teaching her to sit and lay down. I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs over the past few years, learning patience from puppies, strength from sweet old ladies, and the careful nuance that comes with leash aggressive rescues. I now have an adopted a rescue greyhound in the family. She loves new friends but is also perfectly happy cat napping wherever her bed lands. Happy to host or walk, with or without her company. I’m full time at home and so I am free to do breaks and provide limited entertainment between meetings, which are never more than 1.5h. This is the schedule I provide my own pup and would extend to others. I treat them as my own. I prefer to be over communicative with owners if any potential issues arise as well. Greyhounds react particularly poorly to negative feedback and punishment, so patience and focus on pawsitivity (particularly treats) is a standard with me.
About: I have a fun loving spirit and feel so much joy when I get to spend time with furry family members. I am communicative, intuitive and engaging. Your pet will be cared for and loved on until you return. I work from home full time and have a flexible schedule to accommodate daytime activities and walks with your pet. I keep my schedule up to date and have large open availability for off hours pick ups and drop offs. Pets have free roaming access in my home with toys and treats available for play (but feel free to send what they love at home too)!

I love spending time with animals and will make sure your pup feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.I just work on the weekends.

About: I have taken care of and have had my own pets for over 30 years. I have a fenced in backyard, along with trails in a wooded area on my property that make it a great adventure for all pets. I work part-time taking care of animals and I'm always available to give your animals the attention they deserve. I am available most days and for overnight care. I would like to especially focus on families with friendly, small breeds that are looking for a safe place to shelter their pet. I have two friendly pugs that make a great social environment for your dogs. There are many gates/doors in the home that can be used to separate and make sure all dogs feel safe when needed.
“Dogs came home very happy and tired! They very much enjoyed their stay with Annmarie. We loved the picture updates throughout their visit. Thank you again, we will definitely rebook in the future!”
“Tara was great with my boys regarding my situation of needing last minute support. She made an accommodation to take my golden even though he is on the bigger side and he came home happy. I would trust her to take care of my boys anytime!”
“Anely is amazing! I needed a last-minute dog sitter for my elderly and cranky Chihuahua, and I feel so fortunate that she was willing to help me out. In addition to doing drop-off/pick-up from my place in downtown, she also sent frequent updates and photos throughout the day. My dog is afraid of strangers, so she’s not an easy one to handle, but I knew she was in great hands. 10/10, would definitely recommend and will book again!”

I have animals of my own who I love dearly. I promise to care for yours as if they were my own. Any specific requests asked of me will be handled.
“Candi has been such a blessing to our family. She communicates before and after each walk, sends multiple pictures, and is very kind and reliable. She was open to helping train our 1yr old rescue dog and provides much feedback regarding their progress. We are comfortable with Candi driving our dog to the local walking trail since our neighborhood doesn't have sidewalks. Candi is an asset to Rover and I know our pup agrees.”
About: BOOK 7 NIGHTS AND GET YOUR 8th NIGHT FREE!!! (On your first stay only) I WILL ONLY BE ACCEPTING DOGS 30lbs AND UNDER FOR THE SAFETY OF MY OWN SMALL PETS. (Although I will make larger size exceptions for elderly lazy pups ❤️) Hello and thanks for considering me for your pet sitter! Your pet will enjoy all the pleasures of home and more! We are a loving, pet friendly family that any pet would love to be part of (even if it's only for a short time). My name is Breanna and I have had animals my whole life and simply adore being around them. I enjoyed being with them so much that I opened my own grooming salon several years back and am still enjoying it today. I thought that I could help my fluffy friends even more by letting them stay with me rather then those terrible kennels so they too could enjoy their vacations! Your pets will be treated like part of the family and if you choose, I can offer grooming services as well. We are more then happy to take in older dogs as well as younger and they are always guaranteed a warm, soft place to sleep.

If so no problem, just tell me what to do and your pet will be taken care of. I do have an 11yr old and a 17yr old so your dog must be ok with kids.

If this sounds like a home you'd like to let your pets visit while you are away i would be more then happy to meet you and set up a meet and greet! I hope to hear from you! Note: At this time I’m unable to accommodate pitbulls and German shepherds. Sorry for any inconvenience! I’m a self employed, work from home mom so it’s very easy for me to care for your pets. I make my own schedule and absolutely love what I do. Having extra pups in the house is a huge bonus for me because I’m a huge animal person! I love taking the pups outside into the back yard or for a walk through the golf course we live on. I have two wonderful fur babies to keep your pets company. When inside your pets will enjoy a “part of the family” life style with lots of love, cuddles and lounging on the couch.

“This was my first time leaving my puppy for such an extended period of time, and it was nerve wrecking trying to figure out how to keep Mushu safe, happy, and healthy while I was away. Thankfully, I came across Casey and Phil's profile. Met them and their dog Chloe for a meet and greet far in advance, heard about their extensive experience with dogs, and got to see Mushu interact with them in person. Spent way too long talking to them about anything and everything, and they were very patient with me and my concerns. Casey was also super helpful with reassurances, frequent updates, pictures, and videos. Overall, great experience. Heard Mushu was anxious for a bit because it was such a new experience, but he seemed content to play and receive all the love and attention while he was there. Thank you for caring for my baby!”

“Amy and Jonathan took wonderful care of my dogs. Sent me updates and pictures daily. I would 100% recommend them. Definitely book with them again. A million thanks 😊 to Amy!”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dogs received! This family truly love animals and treat them like family. They kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. My dogs came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and compassionate dog sitter. I will definitely be booking with them again!”
“Our dog has been staying with Jenna and Michael the past couple years whenever we go out of town and I am convinced he looks forward to our vacation more than us. He is extremely well taken care of and has the time of his life playing with them and their pup Chase. He comes home happy and exhausted. 😊. Thanks for taking such great care of him!”
“Ben and Natalie took wonderful care of my girl, Denali, for a week while I was away, and I couldn’t have been happier with the experience! They were great with communication and sent me plenty of photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. Denali had the best time and loved getting to play with the other dogs. It was so nice knowing she was happy, safe, and well cared for while I was gone. I would absolutely recommend Ben and Natalie and will definitely have them watch Denali again!”
“Alena and her husband were amazing dog sitters to our little puppy! He adjusted SO WELL with them and with May. They took such good care of him for two days and updated us daily with lots of videos and pictures, not to mention Alena went above & beyond to make sure we felt comfortable prior to actually dropping him off. We’ll definitely be using them to dog sit in the future! They were amazing!”
“Sarah and Ben took great care of Percy. He had a lot fun playing with other dogs and enjoyed getting cuddles from Sarah and Ben. We will definitely be back. Thank you again for taking such great care of of our big “puppy” :)”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since a very young age I love all different kinds of dogs and cats. I have a nice set up in my home and I have a fenced in yard so it feels a lot safer and private :) I have a quiet neighborhood and lots of places to walk ! I always provide lots of photos and constant communication with pet owners. I also helped my mom board dogs growing up so I also have experience in that as well. I’m currently in school and have mostly online classes so I’m pretty flexible. I also have a car that I can transport if need be. I love walking them and letting them play outside in the fenced yard! I have a dog proofed home:) I’m open to all requests, more communication the better !
“Anna responded quickly to my last minute request for doggie sitting. Anna was very friendly. I was a bit anxious about leaving my Vinny in a home with other pets but Anna reassured me that things would go smoothly and they did. Vinny made new friends and she was so kind to update me daily with photos of him and his new fur friends. I would 10/10 recommend Anna and co. to others and will be rebooking for future sits! Thanks Anna!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats since I was 9. I’ve owned aggressive / reactive dogs, dogs who need a lot of management, sport dogs, working dogs, and other animals with special needs. My personal dogs are elderly now and need more special care and I conduct all of it. I currently work a part time job Monday-Thursday from 9-3. My weekends are generally free as well! Overall my schedule is incredibly flexible. I have a well fenced in yard and basement entirely dedicated to dogs! You can look us up at Angie’s pet care (Middleboro Mass). But our boarding dogs are allowed to be on the other floors with us (only when supervised) but someone is home majority of the day.
“My second time using Heather and will continue to do so! My dogs come home happy, exhausted from all the playing and most importantly safe. Responsive, trustworthy and knowledgeable on animals (found ways to make sure my picky dogs ate their food), really can’t ask for much more. Can’t recommend her services enough!”
“Such amazing care and communication!! I actually think our dog was a bit sad to come home after the time he had with Jasmin and Eric! They are awesome and we definitely hope to work with them again!”
“Absolutely top-notch sitting service from Yvette! She followed through with each of my requests and was communicative whenever anything came up. I would highly recommend Yvette to anyone who hopes to feel as though a family member is watching their dog.”
“Namrata & family took such good care of our dog while we were on vacation! She sent updates and photos throughout the day and was super quick to reply anytime I reached out. We ended up getting stuck away from home due to weather and Namrata quickly agreed to keep our dog a few more days until we were able to get home, truly a life saver. We would definitely use her again, our dog seemed to have a blast!”
“I am very happy to have met Doris and very pleased with the care OREO received at her home. She is very nice and she genuinely cares for her four legged friends. I am sure Oreo enjoyed her company! He seemed happy and calm.☺️”
“Absolutely wonderful ! Extremely professional. Sent us so many pictures and videos while we were away ! Our pup came home exhausted from all of the playing, walks, and running around outside with his own puppy. Cooper didn’t want to leave ! Thank you again !!”
“Annmarie is super communicative and easy to work with. I booked a three night stay at her house. About an hour after dropping my dog, I got an update on how he was settling in, along with pictures! It put my Mom-dog brain at ease. Every morning thereafter I got daily updates and pictures. And if I needed to message Annmarie, she was very responsive. I couldn’t ask for a better experience. Thank you Annmarie!”
