“What a wonderful experience I had on vacation knowing my Tuna was safe with a kind and loving person! I received daily photo messages, sometimes two. Always kept informed and in the loop with what his day to day was looking like, from watching movies to playing with this really gross toy he is obsessed with. We will definitely be back for future trips. Thanks Barbara!”
“Lee and family were amazing with our dog! Great communication and he was very comfortable with them. We already have our next stay scheduled! Highly recommend. Thanks for taking such good care of him!”
About: I have extensive experience caring for cats from kittens to seniors, including administering oral medications. This includes my own cats and also family/friend cats. I have my own rescue pit mix dog who has needed some patience to build her confidence and I’m proud of the work we’ve done together in the 1+ years together. I’ve also worked as a kennel assistant handling meal times, medication, day cares, walks, and clean up. I have always loved pets, from hamsters up to big 100 lbs dogs. I will treat your baby with love and respect and understanding of their needs. I share pet care duties with my Fiance John who grew up with dogs and cats in his household and takes care of our two cats and rescue dog with me. We both work full time but I only work 4 days a week and John works 5 days but leaves later and gets home earlier than me. I handle the morning chores including pet meals and Phoebe’s first walk of the day. John handles the second walk of the day when he gets home from work and the second mealtime then. Night time, Phoebe always gets a walk before bed and cats get their last meal. On weekends and free days off together (I always have a 3 day weekend) Phoebe usually gets a trip out to a park, trail, or beach where she can either roam and get her running in. Phoebe gets playdates often with her dog besties who live nearby. Phoebe is crate trained and we have an extra crate on hand too as needed. Currently Phoebe and the cats roam free together when we’re at work because they’re trustworthy now but if a guest comes, we can separate rooms easily and use crates. In other clients homes, I will always follow the rules of the house. Dogs and cats alike will get lots of enrichment, walks, and playtime so everyone is satisfied and comfortable.
“We couldn’t have had a better experience with Betsy and her family taking care of our furry guy. He had such a wonderful time and we received frequent updates with photos. Her kids told us stories about him when we picked him up- they made him feel like part of the family. We hope to have him stay with them again!”
“Ling & Ye took great care of our pup, Truffles for a weeklong boarding. Communication was great and we kept receiving updates. Truffles had a great time staying with the family and made some new friends.”
“Andy did a great job caring for Wally! He was very communicative and sent lots of updates. Wally had lots of walks, playtime, and time spent relaxing—and came back home a very happy pup! I highly recommend Andy!”
“Fancy had a great time with Yulia & her kids! He came back happy, happy, and tired!! His coat was also very soft and fluffy, so he definitely got some good brush outs! Yulia and her kids are very sweet and I will definitely trust them to watch fancy for me again!”
“François was absolutely fantastic. He went over our routine with Atlas and took Atlas for multiple long walks - Atlas was in heaven. François kept us up-to-date on their activities together and was easy to communicate with!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Kaitlyn! She has been super responsive and attentive throughout my dog’s stay. Communication was seamless, which has given us great peace of mind while traveling. We especially appreciated her flexibility. She was available on short notice and very accommodating with scheduling. I would highly recommend Kaitlyn!”
“I feel so lucky to have found Stefan and his family. They took my pup while I was out of the country for a week. They sent tons of photos, which set my mind at ease, and Elvis seems to have had a great time! Thank you, thank you for taking such good care of my pup!”

“Mars had a wonderful time with Ann & Jim! They sent lots of photos, took him on adventures at the fells and walks featuring lots of fetch! He was happy to be there and came home tired and happy 🤗”
“If we could give more than 5 stars, we would. We went away for our wedding for over 2 weeks and Kevin was beyond incredible with our dog, Kaya. He was so thorough prior to her stay and treated her as if she was his own. We received daily updates and were so excited to see Kevin’s thorough review of her day. Thank you so much! You are the best dog sitter we’ve ever had!”
“Kaisa was AMAZING! She took fantastic care of our dog and sent us incredible photos (one of which we think we’ll frame). She was incredibly communicative and friendly. We’d definitely ask her to sit again!”
“Meichen & Tyler are fantastic and did a great job of taking care of our Frenchie. Lots of updates, walks in the park, and great communication make them super easy to work with and we appreciated all their help.”
“Guillermo is fantastic. He was attentive to our old pup and wonderfully responsive to us. He is kind and calm, and it was clear our dog felt so comfortable and content. Our dog had an upset stomach and Guillermo was gracious and amazing at taking the extra steps to give him canned food and medicine. He sent great updates and pictures, I wish I had found him sooner and look forward to having him care for our dog again.”
“HIGHLY RECOMMEND ! We had the pleasure of leaving Max for the very first time in the care of Hyesoo , and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment we booked with Hyesoo she kept us updated with lots of pictures and videos, which made us feel at ease while we were away. Max came back happy, well cared for, and clearly enjoyed his time with her. We’ll definitely be using Hyesoo again in the future, and we highly recommend Hyesoo to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter!”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, especially dogs. I grew up with a family dog for 15 years and was always surrounded by dogs through friends and extended family, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. I have hands on experience with daily care, potty training, and understanding dog behavior, and I’m confident handling everything from high energy pups to more relaxed, older dogs. While my background is primarily with dogs, I bring that same attentiveness, patience, and reliability to caring for cats, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their own space. Pet care fits well into my daily routine. I work a standard eight hour day, so pets would have some alone time during work hours. Before and after work, I make sure they get plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and care. I also have roommates who can help with a midday check in or let pets out if needed, which helps break up the day. I’m very mindful of keeping pets comfortable, sticking to their routines, and making sure they feel cared for even on a work schedule. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities, and I adjust my approach based on the environment. In my own home, I make sure the space is clean, pet safe, and free of anything they could get into. I keep a consistent routine for feeding, walks, and playtime so pets feel settled and comfortable. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, routines, and any specific preferences. I make sure pets stay in secure areas, keep doors and gates closed, and maintain a calm, familiar environment. I also pay close attention to behavior and energy levels to make sure each pet feels safe, relaxed, and well cared for.
“Shannon was amazingly caring for our home and two cats. She even helped make sure a package was properly cared for while we were gone. We would hire her again in a heartbeat! Thank you, Shannon!”
“Jordan is wonderful and I am very happy that she was available when I needed someone to take care of my diabetic kitty. She showed up on time, sent pictures and wrote cute report cards. I will definitely ask her to take care of my kitties next time I need a sitter. Thank you Jordan!”
“There are great pet sitters and the there is Abby - who is a step above the rest. She is so thoughtful, caring, responsive, and always goes above and beyond. Me and the animals are so lucky to work with her!!!”
“I could tell she was genuinely happy to spend time with my cat. Provided detailed updates and several pictures, checked in on things that I didn’t mention. My cat was in good hands!”
“My cat is skittish and Kathleen had her eating from the palm of her hand. Literally! She was so patient and understanding of my cat’s weird little quirks. I would definitely recommend Kathleen to any pet owners out there. You can trust your pet with her.”
“Bryana was an amazing for the drop in visits for my old lady Pumpkin. They were super responsive and the updates they provided were so cute and informative. They also went above and beyond making sure my cat was comfortable the entire time. I highly recommend them and will definitely hire them again the next time I travel.”
“Carol is a wonderful cat sitter! She visited my kitty twice daily, took care of all the essentials (food, water, litter box and she brushed, played and petted him. She sent daily photos and an update on his mood. I am very happy with the care she provided. I highly recommend her services! FIVE STARS”
“Susie was great with my Maine Coon Suka. She was professional and communicative. Suka is not used to meeting new people and can be an intimidating large cat, but Susie knew to give Suka her space and wait for when she’s ready. Suka warmed up to her and was side swiping her and rubbing against her. I’d hire Susie again.”
“Hannah took fantastic care of my two kitties! Her updates and photos were perfect and it’s obvious she cares a lot about the pets she cares for. I will definitely book her again!”
“Leah took care of my cats for a month and she’s very sweet, easy to communicate and knows how to take proper care of cats. She also did additional care that I didn’t list in my requests. I can feel how she is actually caring about my cats. Very happy experience.”
About: I've had cats my whole life and have experience caring for cats of all ages and personalities. In addition to caring for my own cats, I've also looked after friends' cats while they were away. I'm comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, and following any special care instructions. I understand that some cats are very social while others are shy and need space, and I'm patient in making sure each cat feels comfortable and safe. I treat every cat as if they were my own and make it a priority to keep them happy, healthy, and well cared for while you're away
“Meagan was a FANTASTIC sitter. She took meticulous notes of all the instructions and went above and beyond to make sure our kitties felt safe and loved. She was an amazing communicator and sent lots of pictures. We have two shy kitties so sometimes it's hit or miss with sitters, but Maegan took the time to make sure they felt comfortable, gave them lots of treats, and ended up winning both of them over.”
“We are so grateful for Taylor’s service! Our fur babies were so happy and comfortable with her. We most definitely will book again. Thank you for your time and taking such great care of Lindy and Juju.”

“I’ve known Junho and his adorable dog Boki since Boki was just a tiny three-month-old puppy, back when we first met in our apartment building. Over the years, I’ve seen how much care Junho gives to Boki, and how gentle and kind he is with other dogs he meets on their walks. When Junho started Rover, I knew right away that I could trust him with T-Rex. My dog requires extra care and attention due to specific conditions, and Junho followed all of my instructions thoroughly. He even sent me multiple photos and updates without me having to ask, which gave me so much peace of mind. If you’re looking for a sitter, I highly recommend Junho. He’s easy to work with, and his wonderful dog Boki will make a great companion for yours. Boki is super friendly and loves to play, but also knows how to give space if another dog isn’t in the mood.”
“Ismael is very experienced with many kinds of dogs and was very patient with my nervous Aurora. I appreciated his kindness and understanding. I will be sending Aurora there again!”
“Arman has been watching my dog, Miso, consistently over several months. Arman is AWESOME! with clear communication, consistent updates, and quick responses. He is a great dogsitter and I can tell Miso loves going to daycare ☺️ I would highly recommend Arman to anyone looking for a good dogsitter. Thanks!!”
About: I'd love to welcome your dog into our family (with 2 kids, ages 9 and 12) for daytime visits or overnight stays. I am working primarily from home, my calm Beagle-Mini Pin mix Sarah—affectionately called "the meagle"—enjoys having canine companions! With a lifetime of dog ownership experience, I'll ensure your pet receives expert care and plenty of entertainment, including regular walks in our nearby park. Whether you need daytime hosting, walking services, or overnight care, I'm happy to help. I am working primarily from my home office, so I will be available to walk, play with, and keep your dog company throughout the day. I provide at least three daily walks on a nearby walking path, plus additional indoor and supervised backyard play time (on leash, as our yard is unfenced).
“My pup had the best time ever in the yard, chilling in the house, and befriending Betsy’s sweet dog. I even got a photo during the day. :-) Looking forward to her next stay!”
About: Hello! My name is Natsuko and I live in Watertown with my fiancée Carson and dog Luna. I’ve lived with and cared for dogs since I was very young, and I’ve gained lots experience with dogs with a wide range of personalities and needs. I’m comfortable with puppy care, including basic leash manners and crate training, and I focus on consistency and positive reinforcement so dogs feel secure while learning. I’ve also lived with dogs who have anxiety or past trauma, and have experience slowly building trust and bonds. I am currently a remote freelancer and this set up gives me great flexibility to spend quality time with my dog Luna during my workday. She LOVES other doggos and would love to play with and go on walks with a new friend! We typically go on short pee breaks once every three hours and go on two long walks every day. My schedule is very flexible so I am confident I can accommodate for the bathroom/walk/eating schedules of any dog in my care. We live in a very walkable neighborhood in Watertown with the Fresh Pond loop a quick walk away! There are many options to take dogs out for a short or long walk. In our home, we have nice open spaces for dogs to play with each other and with toys. Since we have a dog of our own, we have dog proofed our whole home. Our dog Luna loves playing with other dogs and has had no issues with socializing. If a dog in my care needs a break from playtime or gets overstimulated, we have options to separate the dogs if needed since Luna is crate trained and we have many rooms for the dogs to use.
“Shuhua is kind and very professional. Hermes ( my little Yorkie) was very happy with her. She is trust worthy and is a great communicator. I am sure Hermes is missing her companion ship. I will recommend her without any hesitancy. Thank you Sue.”
“Adrienne provided greay doggy daycare for my two pomeranians while I had a business trip in the area. My little dogs were happy and tired upon pickup. They had fun in her yard and on their walk. Adrienne took great care of them. She obviously loves dogs.”
“Shuai and his team are the most amazing, loving, caring animal lovers I've met. They asked me so many great questions about Teddy beforehand and made sure I always had my questions answered... I asked a lot of questions! They reassured and validated all my feelings about having a puppy and sending him to them. They picked up and dropped Teddy off in a timely manner and made him feel safe during the ride. They sent me pictures and updates all day/night when they had Teddy and made sure I was always in the loop with how he was doing. They even helped initiate some training and had him going in the carrier not scared which was a huge win! They played with him all day and took beautiful pictures that I now cherish. I can't recommend them enough. If you're looking for someone, choose Shuai!”
“This was our puppy’s very first time being away from us, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Kaitlyn kept us updated with photos and messages, which really helped ease our nerves. Our boy came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It’s such a relief knowing we have someone we trust for future stays. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter!”
“Emma took such great care of Arya and she was so happy with her stay! Emma sent updates and pictures to me of my baby girl and kept me updated with any changes. I would definitely recommend her!”
About: I love taking care of dogs and just hanging out with them. I work full-time onsite so I am only available after or before work hours to take them on walks and for stay over.

I love going for walks or runs in the mornings/ evenings before/ after work so I can take your dogs on walks as well. I love playing with them, and can give them a lot of attention. I live in a 2 bedroom apartment without a yard so, I can only take care of small dogs. They have plenty of places to roam around in the apartment. There is also a dog park and a 2.5mile loop near me where i can take them for playtimes and walks.
About: As a groomer of dogs and cats, I've worked with hundreds of animals of all temperaments. Anxious or shy pets are not a problem! I've also worked to help train service animals of various breeds as well as past training on my late dog who struggled with anxiety related behavioral issues. Large or small, I can handle them all. Counter surfers, timid, low energy, high energy, etc., they all are lovable and can be cared for by me. I never stop learning about animals and will continue to grow alongside them as we adventure together! I have a wealth of knowledge and experience to ensure they have the best time possible while in my care. I'm experienced in medication administering and senior animal care as my cat is a senior who requires medication daily, as well as my late dog who required it as well. I frequently update and send photos of your happy family member(s), and if extra services, special care, or other arrangements are needed I'm extremely flexible! You can rest assured that your pets will be well cared for and loved with me. My schedule is flexible and I'm able to accommodate to your needs! I understand that pets and parents may require flexibility and I'm more than happy to arrange whatever you and your pet need. I will treat your home with the utmost respect and your pet will have plenty of playtime, walks, cuddles, and naps! I'll be sure to stick to their schedule and keep their routine while maintaining cleanliness as well. I have no issue cleaning pet bowls, crates, blankets, beds, cat litter, dog waste, or otherwise needed items.

About: I’ve cared for dogs for years and have a dog of my own. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playing, and providing lots of attention and care. I understand how important pets are to their families and will treat your pet like my own. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine. I have my own dog and have experience caring for friends' pets as well. I'm used to feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure pets get the attention and care they need throughout the day. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy and can easily fit into my schedule. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I follow all care instructions carefully, maintain a safe environment, and make sure pets have plenty of exercise, attention, fresh water, and supervision. Whether your dog is energetic or prefers a calmer routine, I aim to keep them comfortable, happy, and safe while you're away.
About: As much as I love playing with puppies I have a fondness for senior dogs. I have spent more time caring for senior dogs and enjoy being around them. I worked nights and was always available for vet appointments. My dog Nicholas went to aquatherapy often and my Pug did acupuncture. I have cared for dogs needing meds, diaper changes, extra lifts, & short walks that required a long time. I often had dogs that needed fresh or homemade food and lots of treats & love. Being retired I am often home working on projects. I also am fortunate to have friends all over the country. I go to their homes and care for their pets while they vacation. I currently have no pets. I live 50ft to the paths along the Charles River. It is a great place to walk dogs. We come upon small wildlife, other dogs and lots of joggers. Some dogs still get excited need some training and treats. I have spent hours out there sitting with pets.
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly Recommend Emily! Emily has been walking our dog for the past 5 days, and I truly cannot say enough good things about her. From day one, she has been reliable, professional, and incredibly kind. You can immediately tell she genuinely loves animals and takes her responsibility seriously. Our pup took to her right away, which says everything. Emily has been consistent, communicative, and attentive to our dog’s needs and routine. She gives thoughtful updates after walks, which gives me real peace of mind while we’re away. It is such a relief to have someone trustworthy caring for your fur baby, and Emily has absolutely delivered. We are so grateful to have found her and will definitely continue using her services. If you’re looking for someone dependable, caring, and amazing with dogs — Emily is the one! 🐕✨”
“Kayla is a responsible and enthusiastic dog walker! Aurora can be a little wild, but Kayla can manage her without any problem. Aurora immediately liked Kayla and raced over to her for their walk. I'm sure Aurora is looking forward to many more walks with Kayla!”
About: With 10 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, I specialize in providing attentive, flexible, and personalized pet care. My experience includes in-home care for individual or multiple pets at a time, regular walks, and administering oral medication for both dogs and cats. I have worked with owners to meet their specific needs, from brushing routines for long-haired dogs to training puppies in skills like name recognition, walking, sitting, and other tricks.

I currently work part-time in a remote position, which gives me the flexibility to accommodate your pet's needs throughout the day.

I have cared for cats through all life stages, including complex medical needs, senior care, and post-surgery recovery for my own and my partner’s cats. I also provide trusted cat sitting for other families, with consistent positive feedback. I focus on keeping cats comfortable in their routine, offering attentive care, updates, photos, and quality companionship during every visit with a calm, caring approach and a good sense of humor.

During vacations and weekends I am available throughout the day I am very comfortable taking care of cats and pets in other people's homes. I have been pet sitting since I was a teenager as well as babysitting since I was a preteen.

“Lee and family were amazing with our dog! Great communication and he was very comfortable with them. We already have our next stay scheduled! Highly recommend. Thanks for taking such good care of him!”
About: I have extensive experience caring for cats from kittens to seniors, including administering oral medications. This includes my own cats and also family/friend cats. I have my own rescue pit mix dog who has needed some patience to build her confidence and I’m proud of the work we’ve done together in the 1+ years together. I’ve also worked as a kennel assistant handling meal times, medication, day cares, walks, and clean up. I have always loved pets, from hamsters up to big 100 lbs dogs. I will treat your baby with love and respect and understanding of their needs. I share pet care duties with my Fiance John who grew up with dogs and cats in his household and takes care of our two cats and rescue dog with me. We both work full time but I only work 4 days a week and John works 5 days but leaves later and gets home earlier than me. I handle the morning chores including pet meals and Phoebe’s first walk of the day. John handles the second walk of the day when he gets home from work and the second mealtime then. Night time, Phoebe always gets a walk before bed and cats get their last meal. On weekends and free days off together (I always have a 3 day weekend) Phoebe usually gets a trip out to a park, trail, or beach where she can either roam and get her running in. Phoebe gets playdates often with her dog besties who live nearby. Phoebe is crate trained and we have an extra crate on hand too as needed. Currently Phoebe and the cats roam free together when we’re at work because they’re trustworthy now but if a guest comes, we can separate rooms easily and use crates. In other clients homes, I will always follow the rules of the house. Dogs and cats alike will get lots of enrichment, walks, and playtime so everyone is satisfied and comfortable.

“Mars had a wonderful time with Ann & Jim! They sent lots of photos, took him on adventures at the fells and walks featuring lots of fetch! He was happy to be there and came home tired and happy 🤗”
“If we could give more than 5 stars, we would. We went away for our wedding for over 2 weeks and Kevin was beyond incredible with our dog, Kaya. He was so thorough prior to her stay and treated her as if she was his own. We received daily updates and were so excited to see Kevin’s thorough review of her day. Thank you so much! You are the best dog sitter we’ve ever had!”
“Meichen & Tyler are fantastic and did a great job of taking care of our Frenchie. Lots of updates, walks in the park, and great communication make them super easy to work with and we appreciated all their help.”
“Guillermo is fantastic. He was attentive to our old pup and wonderfully responsive to us. He is kind and calm, and it was clear our dog felt so comfortable and content. Our dog had an upset stomach and Guillermo was gracious and amazing at taking the extra steps to give him canned food and medicine. He sent great updates and pictures, I wish I had found him sooner and look forward to having him care for our dog again.”
“Kathryn and her husband took awesome care of my two dogs. Taking them on plenty of fun walks and runs. You can tell they really love dogs. We will definitely use them again in the future!”
“Alanis and her husband took great care of Leo. He really had a great time with them! Alanis was very communicative and sent me lots of pictures. I highly recommend Alanis for all your pet sitting needs!”
“Zelun was so good with our dog. We will definitely be using zelun in the future. He sent lots of photos and had great communication. He also brought Iggy on many adventures each day like the park and nice walks!”
“The best experience I have ever had with a sitter! Christina was extremely flexible and communicative! She provided photos of our pup having the best time all weekend and frankly our dog was less than impressed with us when we picked her up. Will definitely be booking her again.”
“This was our second time working with Jess, and Duke was happy as can be. We loved the photos of Duke interacting with the other dogs and having a great time. Won't hesitate to have Jess watch Duke again.”
“I can't say enough about how caring and sensitive Leah and Alexis were to our dog's needs. We couldn't have found a more caring and nurturing environment for our shy and sensitive dog. I would highly recommend them and am looking forward to Trixie staying with them again.”
“Bert had a great time with Eddy! He sent tons of updates and photos and made sure that his daily routine was followed (along with administering some medication that Bert temporarily needed to take 3x a day). On top of that he took care of pickup and dropoff and was flexible with both the timing and location of both, which was greatly appreciated! I'd definitely recommend Eddy to anyone else looking for boarding services.”
