“I would like to take a minute and say thank you to Mellisa and her family. My dog stayed twice with them and both times I was getting back happy and satisfied pet. Melissa and her family provided everything my dog needed: love, care and attention. They took my dog on regular walks, played fetch, and provided a lots of hugs. Every day during my dog's stay, Melissa sent me pictures and short updates on how my dog was doing. My vacation could not be more enjoyable without knowing that my dog in good hands and happy. I am highly recommending Melissa. If you care and love your dog, she is the right dog sitter for you.”

“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!”

“Would not hesitate to bring our pup to Briana, ever. She takes good care of him and sends updates along the way to put your mind at ease. Highly recommend. Thanks Briana!”
“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.”
“Tamara and her entire family were EXCELLENT with Cooper!!! Cooper received A+ care while we were away! We have found our sitter and Cooper has found his home away from home. We thank you so very much!”
“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.”
“Peggy was great! Communication was great - and our normally shy dog Edison was best buds with their dog Daytona right away. Hope he can visit with Peggy and her family again soon!”
“Andreana was so welcoming of our pup! We felt the utmost confidence leaving our baby with her. Milo was a great companion for our dog, as well! We can’t wait to use her services again! ?”

“Elaine’s the absolute BEST!! We are a multiple REPEAT customer/family. She treats our dog like family and we only have a great time away, knowing Our Simba is comfortable and well taken care of by her. She’s worth every penny and more. Thanks again for another awesome visit/boarding! We’ll be back again very soon. :) - DeMoro Family <3”

“Julie is so wonderful!!! She was very welcoming to us and our dogs. Her calm manner is comforting to pets and pet parents. She kept us updated, so our days away were worry free.

“Paulina is a reliable, experienced, and thorough petsitter. She made pertinent observations about our three cats, and adjusted feeding routines to get a picky eater to take her medication. Her fotos demonstrated her interactions and playtime with the cats. We highly recommend her and will rebook her in the future.”
“Kelly is terrific! Reliable, knowledgeable, personable. Excellent communication each day, and we enjoyed our trip knowing that our cats were well cared for. Highly recommend.”
“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”
“Julia was very responsible, caring and communicative when taking care of our two cats. I felt very comfortable leaving our pets in her care and felt reassured by her thorough updates. We hope to be repeat customers in the future!”
“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!”
“Nicole was great with my cat Hallie! Hallie is a very sweet and loving cat, but also very skittish around strangers. In a few short days, Nicole was able to gain her trust and Hallie would hang out with her. Nicole was very quick with responding to messages, particularly when I had questions or concerns, especially when Hallie was found to have some health issues less than a week before I was going out of town. Hallie seemed much happier and more energetic when I came back than when I left. I attribute that to Nicole taking such great care of her.”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover with plenty of “dog auntie” energy 🐾 I’m patient, attentive, and especially comfortable with senior pets. I can administer medications, follow feeding routines, give baths, go on walks, and provide plenty of playtime, cuddles, and companionship. I’m also currently saving toward surgery and treatment for my own 10-year-old pup, so every booking means a little extra to us. ❤️ I’ll care for your pet with the same love and attention I give my own. Pet care already fits naturally into my routine. I’m available before and after work, evenings, and weekends, and I’m happy to plan walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and cuddles around your pet’s normal schedule. I’m big on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and as close to their normal routine as possible. I follow instructions carefully, keep doors and leashes secure, monitor eating and behavior, and always make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and affection.
About: I adore cats, and they seem to think I'm pretty alright, too! I am the go-to cat caretaker amongst my friends and family. I've also developed a reputation for having shy cats warm up to me very quickly. I've had countless people be shocked at how comfortable their cats are with me!
“Alison was incredible! I knew from when she first met Nigiri that he would be in great hands. She was super timely, flexible with his feeding schedule, and always cuddled with him. I could easily tell from all the photos that he adored her right away. I hope there will be a time where Alison and Nigiri can hang out again soon!”
“Virginia is absolutely amazing! She catered to all four of my cats. She adjusted perfectly to our cat’s particular needs. We have one shy cat who will not come out from under the couch for anyone, but Virginia was able to bond with her and give her the attention she needed. We will be using Virginia for all of our future “cat lovin’” needs!”
“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.”
“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.”
About: I’ve had dogs by my side since childhood and spent years horseback riding — so caring for animals is second nature for me! I adore dogs and cats of all personalities, and I bring a fun and upbeat energy to every walk. Whether your pup loves adventures (parks, trails, hikes, and swims!) or prefers a calm and leisurely stroll, I make sure they are safe, happy, and having fun. My four year old mix, Opie, can vouche for all the fun adventures☺️ I’m a local educator with a flexible schedule — typically free throughout the summer, plus evenings and weekends during the school year. Because I live and work locally, fitting walks into my daily routine is easy, and I’m able to offer consistent, reliable care for your pets. I often find myself heading home on my lunch breaks to give my own pup some extra attention. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. My own yard is fully fenced in and always use secure leashes, follow your pet’s routine, and stay aware of surroundings during every walk. I’ve learned over the years just how important understanding your pets needs, warning signals, and comfort is, especially when out in public!
“We had Ken for a 2 day house sit for our dog, Flash. In all of our years using Rover, we’ve rarely had a sitter who loves Flash as much (maybe more!) than we do. Ken even made a special late evening visit outside of those that were scheduled just to make sure Flash had a little extra love before bed. We came back to a tidy home and happy pooch. Will definitely have Ken back again!”
About: I have experience working with many different animals including cats, dogs, guinea pigs, and even cattle. I love spending time with animals and currently working as a veterinary assistant at a small animal clinic. I have lots of experience pet sitting and dog walking and also have experience working around livestock so no dog is too big! Walking your dog will be of great enjoyment for both myself and your pet and I will work to create a bond between me and your pet so that we both make the most of our time. I can’t wait to work with you and your fur baby! I go to school full time, so pet sitting and dog walking is something I do on the side, so I can spend more time with animals! If possible I like to meet dogs for the first time with their owner around to lower their stress and slightly away from their home if possible (particularly if they are known to be protective of their homes).

“Here’s a warm, genuine 5-star review you could leave: We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Lingwen! She took exceptional care of Max and treated him like he was part of her own family. Throughout his stay, she kept us updated with plenty of photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear from every update that she genuinely cared about his happiness, comfort, and well-being. Max came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. We truly appreciated her kindness, attention to detail, and the personal touch she brought to every aspect of his care. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and dedicated to caring for their pet. Thank you so much, Lingwen! 🐾❤️”
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.
“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!!”
“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!”
“Paola was quick to respond she was available and took Jameson for day care the night before! She sent multiple photos and videos during his stay. There was no worry how he was doing.”
“Tsuki had a great time with Vignesh . It was her first time away from us but Vignesh did a great job he was regularly updating us with her photos and videos . We were peaceful at home since our baby was in safe hands . Thank you so much Vignesh for all the love and attention you gave for our baby”
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.
“If it couldn’t be me, I’m happy it was Elaine! Thank you tremendously for caring so much for our sweet girls! They hope to be back soon and are checking their 2022 calendars!!”
“Molly is so great with our standard poodle puppy! He’s always super excited to get to her house and tired and happy when he gets back home. Molly is very communicative — sharing pictures and updates during the day and letting us know how everything went when we pick him up. We’re so glad to have found Molly and would absolutely recommend her to other dog owners!”
“Cosmo had a blast with Kenny! We dropped Cosmo off for daycare while we went to a local wedding. Kenny gave us several updates with adorable photos throughout the day. Cosmo was tuckered out after all the fun he had and even slept in late for us the next day. Thanks Kenny!”
“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!”
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.
“Our first day with Melissa went very well. We wanted a sitter who had a small young dog to socialize with our Louie, and her Casper was a great playmate. We'll do it again! Thank you!”
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.
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

“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!!”
“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.”
“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: 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: I have taken care of several dogs for several families for my entire adult life. I have watched dogs from puppy age up until older adult dogs. I also have a dog at home. I am available every day except on every other Saturday. I can care for pets any time of day, including overnights. I only cannot board. I take the dogs outside or for walks and I maintain a clean and safe and loving environment for all pets in my care always.
“Nicole was great! I used her to come check on my pug and walk him. She was very responsive while I was away for a weekend and the communication was easy. She left notes about Cooper’s walks, along with the cutest pictures! I also noticed she spent well over 30 minutes on his walks and made sure he was all settled before she left. I appreciate her thoroughness and will definitely be using her again! :)”
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: Since I was a kid my dream job was to be involved with animals. Whether it meant working at a shelter, studying to be a veterinarian or being a pet sitter, this field has always been my passion and I’m looking forward to expanding on my experience. As I shift into being home full time, I commit to working with my clients on a schedule that will work for the both of us. I’ll be making sure to give updates/check ins with the client as needed, and of course having the location clean at all times. Taking dogs on frequent walks
About: I have taken care of adult dogs and puppies since I was about 15. I have also owned dogs my entire life! Love them all I currently have two dogs of my own, but I do work from home three days a week so it makes my schedule more flexible I have two friendly dogs that love to play. One is three years old, one is one years old. And I am also comfortable being in someone else’s home and accommodating to the pets normalcy
“John, has come in clutch a number of times when we’ve had last minute plans (which is often for my family). He provides great updates and images that allow us to see how well he’s taking care of Marley!”
About: Hi, I’m Ally! I have an adorable dog-nephew who I have love and cared for like my own for a few years now. We love going on long walks, trips to the dog park, and relaxing around the house together. Aside from growing up with him, I have experience dog-sitting when my brother goes out of town. I frequently stay overnight at his house to ensure that Cuddles is well-fed and entertained. If given the opportunity, I will treat your fur-baby with the same unconditional love as my own! I have no doubt that we will have the best time walking, playing fetch, or just laying around together. You won’t have to worry about your pup while we’re out together, he or she will be in the best hands possible! **There will be an additional fee added for senior dogs. I currently work at a school so I am available for morning and overnight and/or drop in feedings/walks/potty times. Depending on the area, I may be able to drip in mid-day as well. I will follow all rules provided by pet owner to ensure the safety of both your pet, myself, and your home. I would like to meet the animals before accepting a job, just to build some familiarity between all of us.

Pet care is my full time job so I am able to be very flexible to fit my clients needs. I arrange my walking schedules to allow time for dropping in if I have any sittings booked, so everyone has the time they need from me while in my care. While caring for a pet in their home I make sure to ask the owners for any and all info on the dog I may need, and learn their pets schedule so I can keep their routine as close to normal as possible while they're in my care

“I would like to take a minute and say thank you to Mellisa and her family. My dog stayed twice with them and both times I was getting back happy and satisfied pet. Melissa and her family provided everything my dog needed: love, care and attention. They took my dog on regular walks, played fetch, and provided a lots of hugs. Every day during my dog's stay, Melissa sent me pictures and short updates on how my dog was doing. My vacation could not be more enjoyable without knowing that my dog in good hands and happy. I am highly recommending Melissa. If you care and love your dog, she is the right dog sitter for you.”

“We boarded our dog for the second time for over a week with Vignesh and are extremely satisfied with his care and updates. He’s also very accommodating with our dates and pick up and drop off times.”
“Would not hesitate to bring our pup to Briana, ever. She takes good care of him and sends updates along the way to put your mind at ease. Highly recommend. Thanks Briana!”
“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.”
“Tamara and her entire family were EXCELLENT with Cooper!!! Cooper received A+ care while we were away! We have found our sitter and Cooper has found his home away from home. We thank you so very much!”
“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.”
“Peggy was great! Communication was great - and our normally shy dog Edison was best buds with their dog Daytona right away. Hope he can visit with Peggy and her family again soon!”
“Andreana was so welcoming of our pup! We felt the utmost confidence leaving our baby with her. Milo was a great companion for our dog, as well! We can’t wait to use her services again! ?”
“Delia was absolutely incredible. Numerous daily updates on all their adventures. Honestly thought our dog wouldn’t want to come back to us with all the great things she was doing with him. Highly recommended!”
“Elaine’s the absolute BEST!! We are a multiple REPEAT customer/family. She treats our dog like family and we only have a great time away, knowing Our Simba is comfortable and well taken care of by her. She’s worth every penny and more. Thanks again for another awesome visit/boarding! We’ll be back again very soon. :) - DeMoro Family <3”
“Our 10 month old golden retriever had a great time staying with Dina. She was able to accommodate us last minute. She was wonderful with him! Her communication was much appreciated during our time away. We will 100% be using Dina in the near future.”
“Julie is so wonderful!!! She was very welcoming to us and our dogs. Her calm manner is comforting to pets and pet parents. She kept us updated, so our days away were worry free. Thank you for having such expert caregivers that keep our babies both safe and happy! We highly recommend Julie and will definitely use her again.”
“Daisy always has a wonderful stay with Hugo and Julia and run right into their house when I drop her off. On this visit, I had to change plans at the last minute and extend my time away and they were very flexible and accommodating. I highly recommend Hugo and Julia.”
“Sophia took the best care of Coco. She is very responsible, attentive, and caring. My dog already loves her and her husband so much! I highly recommend her services and will definitely be using her again in the future :)”
“I couldn’t have asked for better people to watch my dogs while I was away for almost 2 weeks! Shea and Damien loved and spoiled my dogs as much, if not more, than I do. Each one of my dogs has a unique personality, and Shea and Damien were able to make them both feel right at home. I received constant pictures and updates while I was away, and I was able to see and hear about how they were doing. I think my dogs were sad to leave there vacation with Shea and Damien! Even though they live about an hour away from, I will not hesitate to book with Shea and Damien again for short weekends away or long trips. Thank so much - you guys are great!”
