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.”
“Briana did a terrific job taking care of my dog. He is anxious around other big dogs and she was very careful to introduce him to the other dogs in a way that allowed him to remain calm and feel safe. She took many pictures throughout the day so we knew that he was safe and happy. She treated him as part of her family, and we could tell that he became more relaxed and at ease each day. By the end of his stay, we weren't sure he would want to come home! We will be booking with Briana again next month. She clearly loves what she does!”
“Recently we lost one of our two dogs. We had a trip planned for only a couple weeks later and had to board our second dog alone for the first time. Gabe was an excellent choice and probably the most knowledgeable in training that we have had so far! He was communicative, responsible, and made us feel completely confident while we were gone! Definitely will be giving him a call again for our trips.”

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.
“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.”

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.

“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!”
“Maya was very communicative and punctual for both of our visits. Our cat really seemed like he enjoyed her company and we are glad he was in good hands while out of town.”

She provides me with feedback about their eating and play behaviors, reassuring me that she took time to interact with them. The photos she sents show relaxed and interactive kitties. This is the second time we used her services and we have already booked her for a next time. We highly recommend Jen as a cat sitter.”

“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!”
“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!”
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 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!”
“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!!”
“We felt so at ease knowing our fur babies were being cared for by Lauren! She took fantastic care of them, followed our care instructions perfectly and provided detailed updates! We would love to use her services again in the future. Thank you, Lauren!”

“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!”
“I think our puppy Lucy officially found her second home with Dawn and her family! Knowing we needed a sitter before even bringing our puppy home, I turned to Rover and found Dawn—and I’m so glad I did. She went above and beyond from the start, even coming over with her kids to meet Lucy beforehand. She’s truly salt of the earth, and I immediately felt at ease the moment I met her. As first-time dog parents, we had plenty of questions and requests, and Dawn was so accommodating, evening keeping us updated with the sweetest photos. I loved that on our first daycare service Lucy got to socialize with her kids and even play with another dog while she was there. On top of that, my husband has a difficult work schedule, and Dawn was incredibly flexible, which made everything so much easier. Watching a hyper puppy is no small task, but Dawn handled it with such care and patience. We are so grateful to have Dawn and her family in out circle!”
“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! ?”
“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.”
“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!”
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!

“I'm always a little nervous leaving my boy Blu with new people since he can be a little shy, but I could tell he had a great time hanging out at Melissa's for the afternoon. I received updates and pics of him happily running around her yard with her dog, and making himself maybe a little too comfortable on her sofa. I would not hesitate to entrust her with his care in the future. Highly recommend.”
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.

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: 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.
“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!”

I treat every pet as if they were my own and always make their well-being my top priority.

I currently work a job of about 25 hours a week and sometimes will be shadowing veterinarians. My work schedule is not the same every week, but I can adjust as needed. I am trained from my job in animal handling and how to handle health challenges. I cannot do medicine unless it is already packaged in the food provided. I am a massive animal lover and am ready to give so much love & attention to the your pets!
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: 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 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 !

“Tracee was very friendly and responsive. She took great care of my little dog and kept me up to date with pictures. My dog doesn’t always eat when I’m away, but she ate regularly with Tracee so I know she was comfortable. I would recommend her services and plan to use her again!”
“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.”
“Briana did a terrific job taking care of my dog. He is anxious around other big dogs and she was very careful to introduce him to the other dogs in a way that allowed him to remain calm and feel safe. She took many pictures throughout the day so we knew that he was safe and happy. She treated him as part of her family, and we could tell that he became more relaxed and at ease each day. By the end of his stay, we weren't sure he would want to come home! We will be booking with Briana again next month. She clearly loves what she does!”
“Recently we lost one of our two dogs. We had a trip planned for only a couple weeks later and had to board our second dog alone for the first time. Gabe was an excellent choice and probably the most knowledgeable in training that we have had so far! He was communicative, responsible, and made us feel completely confident while we were gone! Definitely will be giving him a call again for our trips.”

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.
“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.”
