“Melissa did a great job taking care of yummy! We had a two-week extended stay. She shared photo updates regularly and flags issues proactively. Would recommend to anyone.”
“Gabriel was great!! He was able to accommodate our two dogs very last minute (since our return flights were cancelled and we needed a new sitter) and then again he was very flexible to continue looking after our dogs when our flights were rescheduled multiple days later by the airlines. We appreciated the great communication and our boys were tired when we picked them up which is not an easy feat for our Australian Cattle Dog puppy! he definitely gave them lots of exercise and attention. Would definitely recommend and will be keeping his contact handy!”
“Melissa and her family were amazing hosts for our dog. Koe loves to be busy and this was the perfect house for him. We got lots of pictures and updates throughout the weekend and know he had a great time getting lots of activity, attention and love. We will definitely be rebooking!”

“Vignesh did a great job watching our pup. He updated us regularly with pictures and even consulted the vet when an emergency came up. Would gladly use him again!”
“I couldn’t be more pleased with the care my dog received while I was away! Lingwen was absolutely wonderful. From the moment I met her, I felt completely at ease leaving my furry friend in their hands. She was so professional, friendly, and attentive, taking the time to learn my dog’s routine and preferences. During the time I was away, Lingwen kept me updated with regular photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in great hands. My dog was happy, healthy, and relaxed when I returned. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter for their pets!”
“Absolute gem of a sitter! Bella had a great time with Dawn and her family for two nights. They are incredibly nice caring people. They took great care of Bella and provided updates with photos throughout the stay. I recommend Dawn be everyone’s first choice!”
“Lee was great !!! Always sent picture and video updates throughout his stay . My dog had a great time and I would definitely book Lee whenever I needed him !!! I highly recommend him !!”
“We have been bringing our dog Pepper to Tamara and her family for several years now. It is comforting to know Pepper is well cared for when we are away. Sometimes she doesn’t want to leave! 10/10, highly recommend!”
“Migle was absolutely wonderful with Zoë. She went above and beyond-carrying her up and down the stairs because Zoë couldn't manage them, sending regular photo updates, and treating her like her own. I felt completely at ease knowing Zoë was so well cared for. Truly exceptional.”
“Jasper had the best time with Radhika and her family! She sent me updates and cute pictures throughout his stay, took him on lots of walks, and gave him lots of love. I’m so thankful I was able to find someone with experience to watch my high energy pup!”
About: I grew up in a home where we always had many animals. Because of that, caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life, and I’ve spent many years helping take care of pets at home and for family and friends. I currently have a cat named Floyd, who I recently adopted. He is very affectionate, loving, gentle, and gets along very well with other animals. I currently work from home full-time during the weekdays, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability Monday through Friday. Being home throughout the day allows me to give pets consistent attention, care, companionship, and supervision. I enjoy incorporating pet care into my daily routine and making sure animals feel comfortable, active, and well cared for while their owners are away. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Although my home does not have a fenced yard, I always take pets outside on a leash and stay with them while they enjoy time outdoors. I also enjoy taking dogs on walks and giving them plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day.
About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 6 years and dog walking for 8 years, caring for pets of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to have someone dependable, and genuinely caring looking after your animals. I’m experienced with daily walks, feeding routines, administering basic medications, and making pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I’m also comfortable caring for senior pets and adapting to each animal’s unique needs and personality to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I am currently enrolled in college, but have the summer free. I’ll have open availability and be free every day for walks, drop-ins, overnight care, or extended stays. I’m flexible with scheduling and can accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend care as needed. I provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment by following each pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and medications. I’m patient with shy or anxious pets, prioritize safety at all times, and keep owners updated with photos and communication while they’re away.
“Jennifer took such good care of Archie and his special medical needs. He did not seem stressed at all. She sent me updates multiple times daily. I would highly recommend her.”
“For the 1st time I had to look for a sitter outside of family and friends for my fur baby Hugo.(due to last minute) While searching I was very fortunate that I came across the rave reviews about Andreana.k. I can attest they are all TRUE. Having to leave him for the 1st time with a stranger was nerve wrecking however her kind nature and willingness to stay with him last minute in addition to meet him hrs before his stay gave me and my family a peace of mind. She is awesome and we will definitely use her services again!! I highly recommend her. Thanks again Andreana Hugo will see you soon 😉”
“Mariann and her family were amazing. I think my pets had as good a time away from home as we did on family vacation! I received daily updates and pictures and felt really happy knowing that my dog and cat were getting affection and spending time with another family. Really, really pleased.”
“Kuma has such a blast! Melissa kept me updated with pictures all the time during his stay. She answered any and all questions I had and was super responsive. He came home super tired and I felt less guilty leaving him behind knowing that he had so much fun running and playing and socializing. I will absolutely book with Melissa again for a boarding or daycare stay.”

“Paulina was great! She took care of my mom's cat since my mom is unable to do the litter. She was extremely helpful, professional, cleanly, and nice to chat with. I highly recommend her!!”
“Kim did an excellent job taking care of our cat, Molly, for nine days, making time for us even though we contacted her on short notice. Molly was well cared for, and we were impressed with Kim's dedication and attention to detail. We highly recommend her as a reliable and trustworthy cat sitter.”
“Kelly has been caring for our cats when we travel for years now. They run right to her when she stops by to pick up the house key. Kelly sends several great pics of every visit, a daily delight. Upon returning home, we find the cats well fed and happy, and the house (& litter boxes) in good order. We are most grateful for her care. Highly recommend!”
“Holly ended up being the perfect match to care for my cat while I was away for the weekend! Communication was great and she is the only person I know that my cat immediately warmed up to! He tends to be shy and it usually takes him some time to get comfortable with new people but he seemed to enjoy her company from the first time she walked in the door! I highly recommend Holly and absolutely plan on using her services anytime I plan to be away! I can tell she cared for my fur baby just as much as she cares for her own which helps relieve the anxiety of leaving him with someone new!”
“Jen was a punctual, knowledgeable, and reliable cat sitter from our first visit to the last check in. Her reports show her pertinent observations on changes in the cat’s play and feeding behavior with good solutions to these behaviors. She was also willing to bring in the mail and take out the trash while we were away. The cats were playful and engaged in the videos she posted. We recommend Jen as a pet sitter and will use her services in the future.”
“Ashley was lovely, as always! So attentive and kind to our kitties and was especially patient knowing that our babies are less socialized foster cats who need a little more space and grace. We would recommend her to anyone looking for their fur babies to be well cared for!”
“Maya does a great job taking care of our cat Onion each time we’ve gone away. She keeps us in the loop and he always seems happy and well taken care of when we come home.”
“Virginia always provides the best care to our cats. She spends time with them making sure they get love, play time and attention. We could not recommend her enough!”
“Briana is the absolute best of the best. Super reliable, trustworthy and easygoing. I trust her immensely with taking care of our cat while we’re away - be it a few days to a few weeks!”
About: I've been a cat fanatic since I was a little kid, reading all sorts of books on cat behavior and breed behaviors. I am always thrilled to care for a cat, while always respecting their boundaries if they're not snugglers.
“Cassie has been such a wonderful caretaker for our cats. She spends quality time with the cats and ensures everything is clean and in order. Cassie goes above and beyond, was very flexible, and was such a big help. The cats absolutely adored her and seemed to really enjoy her company.”
“Eko and Sarah were SO nice with Cleo and really took their time to play with her and keeping her company☺️ truly happy to have found them after our previous Rover moved!”
“Logan was great, friendly and extremely helpful. The pets warmed up to her quickly and made me feel comfortable leaving them with her. She provided updates and pictures while I was away. She went above & beyond the expectations of taking care of my cats and home. I would highly recommend her!”
“Michelle was so attentive to our cats and gave thorough and caring summaries of each visit to put our mind at ease that they were being wonderfully cared for. We'd definitely have her again!”
“Julia took great care of our dogs! We have an older Jack Russell and a younger deaf & anxious Jack. They are wonderful dogs but require a little more work. Julia was wonderful with both. She sent updates and pictures and we could tell the dogs were comfortable and at ease with her. Julia came over earlier for a meet and greet and was very friendly & kind. We highly recommend her!”
“Tessa checked in on my 16-year-old kitties for a week. She is kind, responsive, flexible, and a true animal-lover. It was evident in all of the visit photos that the cats were being well-loved and having a great time playing and getting pats! Tessa even went above and beyond by leaving our home spotless after some kitty pukey incidents! Lol. We could not be more pleased with the care she provided!!”
About: Alongside having two kitties of my own throughout life, I’ve pet sit for relatives and neighbors to better strengthen my skills. I’ve cared for cats who have strict time schedules when it comes to food, elderly cats who require medicine, and young kittens who need to let out their energy. I always put the needs of the cat before anything else; while I always prioritize the basics (food, water, litter box changing), it’s also important to me that the cats are mentally and physically stimulated and, if the particular cat allows, snuggled.
“Alison was wonderful! Took lots of pictures, made sure my cats ate, got pets and played. Also made sure my stubborn senior got her meds! I’ll definitely be a repeat customer!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Shrewsbury
Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
“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!”
“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! ?”
“Delia was absolutely fantastic taking care of our nine month old puppy Oakley. We had to travel from out of state to Massachusetts for a funeral and she kept our puppy for most of the day, keeping us updated with pictures and videos along the way. Very conscientious and easy to communicate with. Highly recommended!”
“Rhadika is a wonderful sitter! She took great care of Bruno and she communicated with me many times during the day with details and photos! Very much appreciated! We will use her again.”
“Lee was really fantastic with August. He was very communicative and sent lots of pictures and even some videos of August which I really appreciated. Highly recommend Lee if you're in the Worcester area and I will definitely be rebooting with him next time I'm in tbr stra.”
“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!!”
“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!”
“Once again, Joy didn’t want to leave! She thinks visiting at Swetha’s is Doggy Disney. I had something come up at the last minute and Swetha was very understanding and accommodating. Thank again for taking such great care of Joy!”
“Ken is amazing! Coco and Louis love them and they love their time there! He is trustworthy and a great dog sitter! Our dogs are with him almost every weekend in the summer! We highly recommend! Also, he keeps us updated constantly. It’s great !!”
About: I have had a dog since I was in the first grade, so I know how to take care of dogs and walk them to heart :) if I love anything the most, it has to be animals. I’m a dental student right now, but I have a very flexible schedule currently and have a lot of time currently. This is the perfect opportunity for me to look after your dog/cat! I will make sure the pets get everything they need. I live in a clean and somewhat spacious studio, which will be perfect for a small-medium sized dog/cat!
“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!”
“Vignesh has been amazing at watching our dog Wolfie. The walks, adventures, and activities he does with Wolfie are perfect ways to make him happy while we’re at work all day and a HUGE improvement from him staying home alone. We are so happy we found Vignesh and Peaches!”

“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.”
“Pippa has another stellar visit with Andreana and Milo. I booked the day on short notice and Andreana was very accommodating. Pippa was a very happy pup when I came to pick her up and showed that she had a great time once again”
About: I grew up taking care of dogs since high school! Friends have always called me the dog whisperer. Extremely patient with dogs and worked at a dog salon as a dog bather for 4 years. I do currently have a dog of my own, Bob, a Brussels Griffon. My partner, Dylan, and I work at home 4/5 days. We stagger our days so that someone is always home with the dogs and are never left at home alone. We both work together to make sure my dog and yours are interacting well with each other and are having a good time! We are happy to accommodate any dogs that need extra TLC during the work week from 8/8:30AM to 5:30PM. We are unable to do pick ups later than 5:30PM at this time. Your dog will be able to join us on our morning and midday walk! We only take one dog at a time to provide the highest quality care. I have an unfenced yard, but will always take your dog out leashed. Your dog will be a part of our family during the stay and is allowed on all furniture.
“Stephanie was incredible! This was my first time leaving my pup with a sitter I didn’t know, and Stephanie helped me to feel so comfortable! She sent so many updates throughout the day and answered any questions I had. I knew Beanie was in good hands! I will definitely be using her again 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.
About: I’ve been around animals since the beginning of my life. I grew up with cats & dogs, small & large. I started learning about dog training in 2020, I trained my first service dog in 2022. I’m always working to learn more & continuously improve my knowledge. Body language is a huge factor when it comes to taking care of dogs & making sure they’re comfortable in their environment. I’m great with puppies as well & can help out with basic training. Any questions please feel free to ask! I work from home, so I start my day by taking my dog out to our apartment property’s dog park to use the bathroom, & get play time in, then I bring him in to feed him breakfast. If dog parks make you uncomfortable, I can always take your dog when the parks unoccupied. For meal time I make sure all dogs are separated from each others food. If your dog has trouble eating I always keep toppers on hand or different types of food such as, raw/cooked/air dried/& freeze dried. In the case there’s a medical emergency we have an emergency vet 15 mins down the road. If your dog needs to be crated when left unsupervised or for bedtime we have a crate sized for medium/large breeds. Animals are allowed on furniture & the living room is dog proof with lots of toys & beds, we keep the kitchen & bathroom off limits to prevent anyone from getting into something they’re not supposed to have. My dog has also been trained to be gentle with small animals as well to make sure everyone is comfortable & safe in their environment. If your dog eats too fast I offer slow feeders in my home.

“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 !!”
“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.”
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my hands-on experience caring for pets every day. I help my mom care for our two dogs and also have three cats of my own, so I'm very familiar with the daily needs, routines, and personalities of both dogs and cats. I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and making pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether it's feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic care, or simply giving them attention and affection, I treat every pet like they're part of the family. While I don't have professional training experience, I'm comfortable caring for pets of different ages and energy levels, including puppies who need extra patience and supervision, as well as senior pets who may require a gentler approach and more attentive care. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and nothing makes me happier than spending time with dogs and cats. My goal is to make sure every pet feels loved, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already help care for my family's two dogs and three cats. I'm used to feeding, providing fresh water, cleaning up after pets, giving them attention, and making sure they're comfortable and happy throughout the day. Since I'm home for the summer, my schedule is very flexible, which allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs, including walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, playtime, and companionship. I have plenty of availability throughout the week and can adjust my routine to meet the specific needs of each pet and their owner. My flexible schedule also means I can provide consistent care and give pets the attention they deserve. I love spending time with animals and making sure they feel happy, safe, and comfortable. I enjoy playing fetch, giving them lots of attention, and spending quality time snuggling and bonding with them. I often join my mom on long walks with our dogs, so I am comfortable exercising and caring for pets of different energy levels. I am responsible, patient, and knowledgeable about basic pet care, including feeding, providing fresh water, cleaning up after pets, and following their daily routines. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always make their well-being my top priority.
“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!”
About: Growing up, my family had around 6 dogs that I learned to care for quickly. Outside of that, I’ve dog sat for neighbors and extended relatives frequently. I’m especially a pro with senior dogs who need a little extra help. The needs of your dog come before anything else. All the basics (food, water, potty, and play) are my priority, but I also highly value all the little things that make your dog special. It may be that they’re a big dog with a lot of energy who needs long walks and park play time; you may have a small dog who likes a short trot around the block and cuddles. I want to get you know your animals and care for them the best I can. As a part time worker and part time student, my hours vary, but there is always time for pups and kitties! I am available Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays in the evening and all day on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. In my experience with dogs, I’ve taken them on regular daily or every other day walks. Additionally, I have a fenced in yard they play in. With cats, I’ve always kept my indoors. As for both animals, I’m attentive with feeding, always making sure the animals are on a schedule that them.

About: Hi there! I’ve been around animals my whole life, and caring for them has always been second nature to me. From growing up with pets to helping out friends and family with their dogs and cats, I’ve gained years of hands-on experience giving pets the love, care, and attention they deserve. I’ve also volunteered at dog daycares and animal shelters, where I learned how to handle pets of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply making sure your pet feels safe and happy while you’re away, I treat every animal like my own. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I’m dedicated to making sure your pet feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for. I am currently working part time during the week but they are not long shifts so I will have a flexible schedule to be able to watch your pets. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. On walks, I make sure leashes are secure and choose safe routes that fit your dog’s pace and energy level. During drop in visits, I’ll refresh food and water, give plenty of love and attention, and ensure everything is safe and secure before I leave.

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.
About: I've owned several dogs throughout my life since childhood and have experience with dogs that get nervous around new people or dogs that are nervous when home alone! I work throughout odd hours, but given enough time as notice I can make time for your furry companions! I cannot be available Thursdays, however I am available on other days! I have experience with crates, fences, as well as leashes to make sure your companion stays safe when outside! Since I have family members with allergens at my home, I will be unable to care for your pets in my home, however I will make sure to take utmost care with your beloved friends wherever I may be!
About: I have always had a love for all pets and have always had dogs in my family home ! I always look foward to meeting new furry friends and caring for them as if they were my own ! I’m currently not working at the time and with the weather slowly warming up I have a lot of free time to walk your pups , play ,etc ! Keeping your pets safe is my number 1 priority! I don’t have a yard unfortunately but a lot of parks and trails along Quinsigamond where I live along with a great field that I go to often with my dog and great neighbors with great dogs !
About: I have never lived in a house without a dog in my 19 years and have therefore developed all the skills necessary to care for them. I love dogs so much and they complete my life. I am an incoming Freshman at Suffolk University and have open availability for the most part. When classes begin in September that is subject to change though. I have experience with walking anxious and or reactive dogs so be reassured that that is not and issue with me. Im experienced in cat care as well.
About: I've been the co-owner of my dog Kimchi for over 5/6 years and my cat Hiromi for over three years. I love taking Kimchi on walks when he needs, feed him in optimal times of the day, and entertain him when he's up for it. I can definitely provide the responsibility and patience to veteran sitters. I am both a cat/dog person, and I absolutely love my cat Hiromi who is currently living with me in New York. I have taken care of all kinds of dogs over the years, and all have loved their stay with us. I am currently full time working from home. With the experience in dog sitting/dog walking, I wanted to take my extra free time to care for the pets in my community! I am very flexible and am able to accommodate to your needs if needed. California: We have multiple dog beds set around the home and a large backyard for your fur babies to frolick in. We feed our dogs keeble but can be tailored for your pet. New York: Due to small spaces and small apartments in Manhattan, I would only be able to offer dog walking services.

“Gabriel was great!! He was able to accommodate our two dogs very last minute (since our return flights were cancelled and we needed a new sitter) and then again he was very flexible to continue looking after our dogs when our flights were rescheduled multiple days later by the airlines. We appreciated the great communication and our boys were tired when we picked them up which is not an easy feat for our Australian Cattle Dog puppy! he definitely gave them lots of exercise and attention. Would definitely recommend and will be keeping his contact handy!”
“Melissa and her family were amazing hosts for our dog. Koe loves to be busy and this was the perfect house for him. We got lots of pictures and updates throughout the weekend and know he had a great time getting lots of activity, attention and love. We will definitely be rebooking!”
“Briana was amazing in caring for our pup, Charlie! He had an absolute blast! She has a large yard for them to run around and treats all pups as her own!!! We received photos throughout the day and Charlie received endless cuddles. I cannot reccomend Briana enough!!!”
“Vignesh did a great job watching our pup. He updated us regularly with pictures and even consulted the vet when an emergency came up. Would gladly use him again!”
“Absolute gem of a sitter! Bella had a great time with Dawn and her family for two nights. They are incredibly nice caring people. They took great care of Bella and provided updates with photos throughout the stay. I recommend Dawn be everyone’s first choice!”
“Lee was great !!! Always sent picture and video updates throughout his stay . My dog had a great time and I would definitely book Lee whenever I needed him !!! I highly recommend him !!”
“We have been bringing our dog Pepper to Tamara and her family for several years now. It is comforting to know Pepper is well cared for when we are away. Sometimes she doesn’t want to leave! 10/10, highly recommend!”
“Migle was absolutely wonderful with Zoë. She went above and beyond-carrying her up and down the stairs because Zoë couldn't manage them, sending regular photo updates, and treating her like her own. I felt completely at ease knowing Zoë was so well cared for. Truly exceptional.”
“Jasper had the best time with Radhika and her family! She sent me updates and cute pictures throughout his stay, took him on lots of walks, and gave him lots of love. I’m so thankful I was able to find someone with experience to watch my high energy pup!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 6 years and dog walking for 8 years, caring for pets of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to have someone dependable, and genuinely caring looking after your animals. I’m experienced with daily walks, feeding routines, administering basic medications, and making pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I’m also comfortable caring for senior pets and adapting to each animal’s unique needs and personality to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I am currently enrolled in college, but have the summer free. I’ll have open availability and be free every day for walks, drop-ins, overnight care, or extended stays. I’m flexible with scheduling and can accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend care as needed. I provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment by following each pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and medications. I’m patient with shy or anxious pets, prioritize safety at all times, and keep owners updated with photos and communication while they’re away.
“Jennifer took such good care of Archie and his special medical needs. He did not seem stressed at all. She sent me updates multiple times daily. I would highly recommend her.”
“For the 1st time I had to look for a sitter outside of family and friends for my fur baby Hugo.(due to last minute) While searching I was very fortunate that I came across the rave reviews about Andreana.k. I can attest they are all TRUE. Having to leave him for the 1st time with a stranger was nerve wrecking however her kind nature and willingness to stay with him last minute in addition to meet him hrs before his stay gave me and my family a peace of mind. She is awesome and we will definitely use her services again!! I highly recommend her. Thanks again Andreana Hugo will see you soon 😉”
“Mariann and her family were amazing. I think my pets had as good a time away from home as we did on family vacation! I received daily updates and pictures and felt really happy knowing that my dog and cat were getting affection and spending time with another family. Really, really pleased.”
“Kuma has such a blast! Melissa kept me updated with pictures all the time during his stay. She answered any and all questions I had and was super responsive. He came home super tired and I felt less guilty leaving him behind knowing that he had so much fun running and playing and socializing. I will absolutely book with Melissa again for a boarding or daycare stay.”
“Carlo had a hot spot and we got him meds before we left. Elaine took such good care of him and gave him his meds and made sure he kept his cone on while we left. We know he’s in such good care with her and will continue to use her for when we go on vacations!”
