“Natasha and Jonathan make our dog feel right at home! Our dog is usually timid when we drop her off at dog sitters, but after the first visit she was excited to see them and seemed very comfortable with them. They provided lots of updates and photos and were always prompt on answering my messages. I’m excited that we found a dog sitter that our dog is happy and we feel peace of mind leaving her!”
“Lori was such an amazing host, Ramsay had the best time staying. From the initial meet up, to drop off and collection we felt so happy leaving Ramsay. He was able to play with other dogs, have time outside and get lots of cuddles. It was nice to get picture updates throughout the stay as well. We will definitely be a repeat customer! Thanks so much!”
“David and his family were fantastic hosts to our pup - we cannot recommend them highly enough! They were responsive during the booking process and continued with consistent communication throughout Vega's stay. The level of care and attention being paid to Vega was immediately obvious due to the updates and observations we received each night. Our dog has a bit of anxiety, especially during longer stays away, and David was on-point about noticing changes in her behavior and asking questions when necessary. Barring a scheduling conflict there's no other family we'd even consider having Vega stay with.”

We would definitely recommend having her stay with her again.”

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!)

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!”

I love getting to hang with all types of dogs whether it’s walking, playing, or having them stay with us. I’ve cared for elderly dogs, puppies, and everything in between for the last 10 years. Can’t wait to meet you soon! Since covid, I am work from home most of the day and would love an extra furry friend or two to get me out of the house. Because I am work from home, I’m very flexible on walks, day cares, and much more! I love going to the dog parks around town and would be more than happy to take your baby there as well. We have a large fenced in yard to keep your fur baby busy. Not the athletic type? Great! We have a big couch and lots of comfy spots for them to laze around in.

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.

I’m confident handling pets of all sizes, ages, and temperaments—from high-energy puppies to more anxious or senior animals who need a gentler approach. I always aim to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m very communicative and will keep you updated with regular messages and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.

About: My entire life I have grown up with pets, dogs cats bunnies guinea pigs lizards birds, you name it we had it! Good pet care to me includes knowing their needs way ahead of time . In my time around animals, I have yet to meet one that doesn’t like me, whether it’s a energetic puppy or a lazy house cat. I’m extremely responsible and trustworthy, in addition to being creative at a moments notice. Taking care of animals means you must be ready for whatever may happen, and patience is a key. These are all qualities I possess! To me, being a people person means you also are a pet person. You and your beloved pets will be happy, healthy and safe with me! I’m currently working part time as a yoga teacher, so I have lots of time to take care of your pet kiddos! Whether it’s a walk around the park, some quality play time at home, or meal support, I am open to it all. Meeting a new animal is all about establishing safety and trust with them first, to show them I am a safe human that’s here to love and care for them too. Once they feel safe, we can get to the fun stuff of play time and walks!
About: I'm experienced with in-home dog walking, cat drop-ins, and long/short-term house-sitting. I'm a former MSPCA (JP & Salem) volunteer who's also experienced with gentle, attentive care for birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, ferrets, and other smallies. I know that senior animals need special attention and am experienced with brushing teeth, administering medication, and providing frequent potty breaks and cleaning. I'm currently in between IT jobs and love housesitting and providing drop-ins/walks in the Salem area. I have plenty of flexibility and time to spend with your companion animals. In your home I'm alert at the door - no escapees on my watch! - and like to spend plenty of time first cleaning bowls/litter and feeding, then playing, cuddling, or even just sitting close by reading depending on your animals' shyness level. I've received pet first aid and CPR training. On walks I avoid other dogs and I always stay on-leash. I'm always happy to schedule a meet and greet so you and your fur-kid and I can get to know each other.

“Paige is amazing. Super reliable. She’s been walking my 1y/o Samoyed daily for the past month. She arrives, gets my dog, walks him and gets him back safe and locks up the house. So happy I found her.”
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.
“Jesse took the time for a meet and greet before booking our first walk, which was extremely helpful! He has been very prompt and reliable, and we so appreciate his care for our girl Sylvie.”
About: I’ve always had pets in my family, so I grew up around animals and learned to love and care for them from a young age. Four years ago, I adopted my own pug, and he quickly became part of my everyday life. I love playing with him, feeding him, going on walks, relaxing together, and even taking naps. Having my own pet has taught me even more about patience, responsibility, and giving animals lots of love and attention. I would treat your pet with the same care and affection I give my own. I work from 3:00 PM to 11:30 PM, so my mornings are usually open and flexible for drop-in visits, walks, feeding, and playtime. I also have some weekend availability depending on my work schedule, so feel free to reach out and we can find a time that works! I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy while I’m with them. I’ll follow their usual routine, keep their food and water fresh, give them plenty of attention, and of course make time for play and cuddles. I’m also very respectful of each pet’s space and personality, so I always try to make them feel relaxed and cared for.

Our dog is usually timid when we drop her off at dog sitters, but after the first visit she was excited to see them and seemed very comfortable with them. They provided lots of updates and photos and were always prompt on answering my messages. I’m excited that we found a dog sitter that our dog is happy and we feel peace of mind leaving her!”
“Renee was amazing with our Zoe! I could tell from the moment I met her she is a huge dog lover and our pup would get lots of love staying at Renee’s while we were traveling- and I was right! We loved getting pictures and updates every day and we could tell she was happy and well cared for. She even got our very stubborn girl to go on walks and play with other puppies! We will definitely have Renee watch Zoe again when we go out of town!”
“David and his family were fantastic hosts to our pup - we cannot recommend them highly enough! They were responsive during the booking process and continued with consistent communication throughout Vega's stay. The level of care and attention being paid to Vega was immediately obvious due to the updates and observations we received each night. Our dog has a bit of anxiety, especially during longer stays away, and David was on-point about noticing changes in her behavior and asking questions when necessary. Barring a scheduling conflict there's no other family we'd even consider having Vega stay with.”
“Mirellys was very easy to work with. She took great care of my dog Archie. We kept in touch the entire weekend by her providing videos and pictures. I highly Recommend and would love to work with her again !!”
“Kristin was so great with our dog bailey and took excellent care of her. She was able to get her out of her shell and acting like herself in no time at all. She was really good at making bailey feel like she was at home. Communication was great and I loved all the pictures and video of bailey while we were away. We would definitely recommend having her stay with her again.”
“Absolutely amazing, fabulous and incredibly caring and thoughtful caregivers! They are very experienced with dogs and create a safe and playful environment! I will definitely be bringing my dog back and recommending them to friends!!”
“Freddi took outstanding care of Penny!!! She has an idyllic setup for hosting and provided Penny a cozy and comfortable stay while we were out of town. We loved the photos Freddi sent every day - Penny was clearly right at home! Would definitely book again.”
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!
“Andre was great with Luna ! Kept great contact with videos. She was walked for hours a day. When I picked her up she ate and crashed out. She was clearly tired. I will definitely use Andre again!!!🐆”
“We’ve never tried Rover before, and as new MA residents navigating our way, our neighbor recommended Akhil to us for Beau’s boarding needs. He was so frightened at his last doggie daycare, but we decided to give them a try. Beau was having the time of his life! I could tell from all the pictures and videos they’ve sent to us. I felt secure knowing that my Beau was in good hands while I was away for a short time. He received all the love, brush, and cuddles. I could just tell because he was so relaxed when I took him back home with me. Thank you, Akhil and family, for letting Beau be a part of your family!”
“Our dog Eevee had such a good time staying here and playing with Igo. Wonderful to get updates on how she was doing and to see that she had a great time and lots of fresh air in the fenced backyard! Thank you for following her feeding schedule, for grooming her and brushing her teeth and taking such good care of our girl 🤗”
“Elliot and Jo were great with this trial stay for our pup, Tony. We were able to schedule a Meet & Greet promptly, and we all agreed to a one night trial stay to ensure that they could meet Tony’s needs and our expectations. We got multiple updates with photos and/or videos and they followed his instructions to a T. We’re glad to have found new, quality sitters to care for our baby when we travel!”
“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!”
“My dog is a big old baby requiring plenty of attention and TLC as well as timely walks and medications. He’s an old boy. He loved Liz and her place. Usually he has separation issues. Well he hardly noticed when we left and I’m pretty sure he was a little bit disappointed to come home. Great care for my dog.”
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.
“Lindsay was amazing. Our dog had a great time with Lindsay, her family and her dog Tilly, who happened to match our dog's size and energy level perfectly. Lindsay sent us multiple photos during our dog's stay. We could not recommend her more highly!”
“Piper came back happy from Belinda’s! Belinda was very responsible, flexible, and made sure to slowly introduce Piper to her own pup! If I am back in town with Piper I will definitely reach out to her again!”
