“Belinda was wonderful with our furbaby and sent us an update each day. She was very accessible by text and easy to communicate with. Our dog got along well with her dog, Sloane, who is a sweetie. Also, she has the perfect fenced in yard for the dogs to play! We will certainly work with Belinda again!”
“Hannah was absolutely amazing with our strong-willed, yet anxious pup. She was incredibly communicative and did a great job keeping us posted regarding any developments (she also made sure to send us cute photos and videos at regular intervals). We will definitely look to book with her again when the need arises!”
“Guillermo did a fantastic job with my dog, Kiara. She gets nervous around new people, so it’s always tough for me to leave her. I booked an overnight stay with Guillermo to see if they’d be a good fit, and it went perfectly. As soon as I arrived, I felt comfortable. Guillermo showed me around the house so I could see where Kiara would stay, which put me at ease. Kiara quickly warmed up to him and didn’t seem upset when I left. During the day, Guillermo sent thoughtful updates and photos, which really helped me relax. When I came back to pick up Kiara, she was happy to see me. She gave me a few kisses and then settled on the couch like she was at home. I really appreciated Guillermo’s care, communication, and the calm, friendly atmosphere he created. I have already booked with him again.”
“We can't thank Lori G. enough for taking care of our precious pups while we were on vacation! Lori provided frequent updates including multiple pictures and videos which made us feel connected to our pups while away! She kept our pups active by bringing them on walks and played with them inside and outside her home in her fenced in back yard! Lori G. is a wonderful person with a special love for dogs, and quite evident that our pups were more than well cared for!!! We most certainly will have Lori G. take care of our pups again!!! Thank you so much Lori G. (:-)”
“Yang was so great with our dog! We got daily updates with pictures and videos. She was also so wonderful to us, our flight was canceled and rescheduled for 2 days later. Luckily we were able to get out the following night but Yang was so accommodating and kind while we were in a state of worry. Lucky will be back in a few weeks for a second stay!”
“My chocolate lab had a great time with Rebeca. During the stay, Rebeca sent daily pics and also responds fast. She also gave him a cute little treat bag at the end of the stay. Appreciate her care for dogs and highly recommend choosing her!”
“Xiuping is an amazing and responsive dog sitter! She sent me lots of pictures and messages throughout the stay, showing how well my dog was being taken care of. This definitely set my mind at ease, knowing and seeing that my dog was having a great time with her family. Dog care instructions were followed very well and she was able to accommodate my last minute requests. I will absolutely be recommending Xiuping to my friends and will have her and her family watch my dog again!”
“My dog stayed with Luciana and her Mom for a week. It was a great fit for him because there were always people around and he doesn’t like to be alone. They sent pics daily and they gave him plenty of walks. I felt very comfortable leaving my baby with them and would do it again.”
“Fantastic dog sitter! They took wonderful care of my dog and sent daily photos that showed how happy and relaxed he was. Her dog is very friendly and welcoming, and the two got along great. I felt confident that my dog was in gods hands and would definitely use their services again.”
“We could not have asked for more from Neil and Elizabeth (and Percy)! Our little Riley was immediately comfortable in their home and played great with Percy from the first meeting, even though she is normally timid at first. And throughout our trip we received photos, videos, and messages letting us know that Riley was having fun with her new friend Percy. We will definitely look to Neil and Elizabeth again as Riley had the perfect vacation away from home.”
“Luke was the best dog sitter for our Jack Russell Terrier! He went above and beyond when our flight home was canceled and was able to accommodate. He was extremely thorough with communicating to us and providing photos of our pup which made us feel so grateful to have someone who loves dogs. We would recommend Luke without hesitation and look forward to having Luke care for our dog again!”
“Chanel was very responsive and sent lots of photos throughout the weekend. Making sure I knew the dogs were happy! The dogs came back so happy from our trip and that was so great to see!”
About: I grew up in Burlington, Vermont surrounded by dogs and have had them nearly my entire life. Today I have two Mini Australian Shepherds, Rosie and Chili, who keep me on my toes with their high energy, intelligence, and need for constant engagement. Because of them, I’m very comfortable caring for active breeds that require structured exercise, mental stimulation, and consistent routines. Our days include long walks, outdoor adventures, puzzle toys, tug-of-war, training reinforcement, and plenty of playtime balanced with calm downtime. A fun piece of my background — my mom bred Mini Aussies for six years, and I actually helped deliver and care for many of the litters. From puppies to senior dogs, I understand behavior, body language, and how to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every dog like they’re part of my own pack. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because my lifestyle already revolves around my own dogs. Working from home helps a lot with this. I’m active, reliable, and organized, which allows me to provide dependable care whether that means drop-ins, walks, or extended stays. I take time to learn each dog’s personality, routines, triggers, and comfort level before care begins. In a client’s home, I respect established routines to keep pets feeling secure and stress-free. I closely supervise play, use secure leashing practices, and maintain awareness of surroundings during walks. With experience raising high-energy working breeds, I understand the importance of both physical exercise and mental stimulation to prevent anxiety or destructive behavior. I work in sales and constantly have my phone on me. I usually respond immediately unless I am in a meeting.
“Hello. This is a first-rate, dog care experience, folks. Séamus hosted my dog for a brief meet-&-greet prior to his stay, which was successful and excellent. Séamus, overall, is very thoughtful and thorough in his preparation and concern for your dog, and is an excellent communicator while you are away. Séamus is clearly a “dog person”, and it shows. There is a lovely, enclosed, safe backyard for your dog to play and stretch-legs, and, I honestly can say, …..I didn’t worry about my dog once. I received photos of my dog and also received updates periodically while I was away. Excellent service! Charlie came home happy, healthy, rested and in great spirits! A+ Thank you, Séamus”
“Xinyue and Weihai were most accommodating and responsive during a last minute stay. Indy had a great time and I felt most assured of his care while I was away. Highly recommend!”

“Galina did a great job taking care of our kitty. She even left him a new toy! I got pictures every day and she was INCREDIBLY responsive, which I really appreciated.”
“Josh did a wonderful job taking care of our two cats! He gave us picture updates and was in prompt touch when one of our kitties puked during one of his visits. Thank you for being a great pet-sitter!”
“Noila took amazing care of my two kitties for two full weeks! She sent daily pictures and videos of them playing, and included any other information about her check ins with them. She made leaving town so much less stressful! Fantastic experience.”
“Nina was a fabulous drop in for my cat. She took great care of him, adapting to his needs, and managing the litter box, trash, and recycling. She even carefully cleaned up after him when he had a digestive glitch as cats sometimes do, without complaint and with genuine concern for his well being. Drop in photos were a delight and made me feel he was happy and comfortable. I trust her and will definitely book her again.”
“Yuzhou was great! She was very attentive and sent lots of photos throughout the stay. Luna is usually shy with sitters, but she warmed up to her right away — a rare sign of trust. We also came home to a sweet handwritten card. Truly grateful, and I’d definitely book her again!”
“Thank you, Jolene, for checking in on my two cats over a holiday weekend with a last minute booking! Jolene’s communication and timing was excellent. While checking on the cats, she filled their bowls, gave them treats, and brushed them. I appreciated her time and attention!”
About: I've loved cats since I was a child and have cared for dozens of them over the years. This experience has helped me understand different personalities, behaviors, and individual needs. Whether a cat is playful, shy, or senior, I'm patient, attentive, and committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away.
“Just like the first time, Jennifer has taken wonderful care of my cats. She stays in contact, always letting me know how my babies are doing amd is very accomodating. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter and will absolutely try to book with her again the next time I need a sitter.”
“Leyna took great care of my cat Daisy! She took lots of good pictures and was also very responsive and understanding with a last minute scheduling change. I would definitely book with her again!”
About: Ive taken care of dogs most of my life and owned one for 6 years. I’ve walked dogs big and small and my own has given me great experience with reactive dogs. I once worked as a kennel attendant for a local animal hospital which gave me experience with lots of different breeds and special feeding needs. I work full time so I am available evenings during the week, and anytime on the weekends when I’m not with my own furry friend I wont be offering any in home pet care services at this time. I live in a small apartment unit with a medium size dog
About: I’ve personally only owned one cat, but I have also cared for other peoples cats. I know how to change litter boxes, feed portions (if needed), give water, bathe, and play with cats. If your kitty is adventurous, I wouldn’t mind taking them on walks either!
“We recently moved to a new apt and needed a new sitter for our 10 year old kitty. Carol did a great job with her in all ways. Carol kept her routine and spoiled her the way we do. Our cat was relaxed and well taken care of by Carol. Highly recommend her pet services.”
About: I’m a musician, violin teacher, pet sitter and dog walker. I love and respect all living beings. I grew up with pets my whole life, at some point I had 8 dogs, 4 cats and 1 duck all at the same time! I understand pets and connect with dogs so easily my husband calls me “The Dog Whisperer”. One of my dreams is to build a sanctuary for rescue dogs in the country side. I currently don’t have a yard of my own but I live near big parks, fenced playgrounds and hiking trails that I can walk to and visit with your dog. I have 5 years of experience as a pet sitter and dog walker and I’ll be happy to provide loving care, excercise and attention to your pet! I currently work from home and I also walk other dogs around the neighborhood. There’s days I’m home all day and others that I leave the house for an hour or two at a time to run an errand or walk a dog in the neighborhood. Having pets my whole life I’m aware of all the hazards and safety measures to take around them. I always double/triple check that the doors are locked behind me, I’m attentive and keep an eye on the pets I’m sitting. I live with family and we all look after each other. Everyone at my place loves animals and we all love having pets around!

“Belinda was amazing with Juno and helped out while I was at work for a work trip! Juno had a great time and it was amazing knowing Juno was in great care! Thank you so much!”
“Fantastic puppy sitter!! Jasper loves going to play at Carol's and comes home exhausted. I love knowing he's well looked after, happy, and safe. Great communication and pictures. Thank you so much!!”
“Hannah was great! We are new pup parents and this was the first time we left our puppy with a sitter. I really appreciated how Hannah kept us updated throughout the day with pictures, videos, and messages. I booked last minute and she was responsive and answered all my questions beforehand. I will definitely look to rebook with Hannah in the future!”
“Marcia was absolutely wonderful! She is incredibly kind and clearly loves animals. I received frequent updates with photos and videos throughout the day, which really helped to ease my mind. I loved the videos watching my dog, Mylo, get to play with Marcia and Cosmo! My high-energy puppy came home happy and exhausted, which is the best compliment I can give considering Mylo’s energy level! I highly recommend Marcia to any pet owner looking for a loving and responsible sitter.”

“Elizabeth and Neil are so attentive to my Honey bun! They are true animal lovers and provide the best play space! So thankful to have people I can trust when I’m at work! Small play groups with repeat clients creates such a fun group of pups. Honeys new bestie is Zoey ❤️”
About: I've been working with dogs for over five years, including dogsitting and walking through Rover, as well as hands-on experience at animal shelters. I'm especially comfortable with senior dogs, I've even cared for a 20-year-old pup! I’m calm, patient, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs, whether that means going at a slower pace for older dogs or providing extra comfort and care. I'm currently working remotely, which allows me to give your dog plenty of attention throughout the day. I take dogs on regular walks, at least once in the morning and once in the evening. When a dog is in my care, they truly become part of the family. Whether it's a car ride, a visit to a pet-friendly store, or a mini-hike, your pup will be by my side, enjoying the day with me. I prioritize safety, comfort, and transparency when caring for pets, whether in my home or yours. I'm always upfront about the environment your dog will be in, and if your dog isn’t comfortable around others, I won’t host additional pets during their stay. I’m experienced with administering medications and keeping an eye on each dog’s overall well-being, including tick checks and monitoring for any signs of discomfort. If I ever notice anything unusual, I’ll contact you right away to keep you fully informed.
“My dog had a wonderful stay with Xiuping and her family. They are so kind and friendly. Very responsive and trustworthy as well. I got many cute pics and felt my dog was given a lot of attention and well cared for. I would definitely rebook next time.”
“Heather (and her two adorable and fun dogs) is a godsend. My dog can be anxious and untrusting, so finding care for her where I am comfortable that she feels at ease is quite a challenge. However, she lives to go to Heather's place! Not only has Heather watched Perla over night, but I regularly take Perla to Heather's while I'm at work. I drop Perla off to Heather at least one day a week. I am so glad I don't have to depend on a doggy daycare business. Heather is very flexible with scheduling and definitely takes my dog for my walks than I do in a given day. I am very grateful for Heather and highly recommend her!”
About: I have had a family dog for over 10 years now and have taken care of her all her life. My own dog now lives in New Hampshire, but I still would love to take care of and play with dogs on a daily basis. I have also watched friend’s, neighbors, and other family members dogs all my life and enjoy every second of it. I am currently on summer break from attending college in New Jersey. I will be in Massachusetts until September and am available every weekday full time for the next 10 weeks to be able to devote my time and care for your dog. My home includes an outdoor deck that leads to a fenced in backyard that is perfect for dogs to be let out and taken outside to use the bathroom or play on the lawn. Also, I have my dogs older bed, toys, food, and treats from before she moved to New Hampshire. My bedroom is also very close to the door leading to the deck, so letting dogs out to use the bathroom in the night is quick and easy. There are stairs leading up the the home but I can easily pick up dogs that may not be able to climb them.

About: I’m a long‑time doodle mom with more than 13 years of hands‑on experience caring for hypoallergenic and low‑shedding dogs. I currently have two doodles — a senior labradoodle and a younger double doodle — and they’ve taught me everything about coat care, temperament, structure, and the unique needs of allergy‑friendly breeds. Why I Specialize in These Dogs My specialization comes directly from my own experience as a doodle owner. When my dogs were in traditional daycare and walking groups, they often came home covered in fur and dander from other breeds. That brought allergens into our home, affected our environment, and caused unnecessary skin irritation and extra grooming for my dogs. I realized that doodles, hypoallergenic, and low‑shedding breeds needed more thoughtful, coat‑compatible care — environments that respect their coats, reduce allergen exposure, and keep them comfortable. That experience shaped everything about how I care for dogs today. My mission is to provide coat‑compatible walks and solo pet‑care services that minimize allergens brought into the home, help dogs thrive through safe, structured socialization, and give families the elevated, allergy‑conscious care they want for their pets. I offer structured, coat‑compatible pack walks and solo pet‑care services designed specifically for doodles and low‑shedding breeds. My pack walks are small, curated groups of compatible low‑shedding dogs, designed to be calm, structured, and coat‑friendly. My weekday schedule includes mid‑day walks, drop‑ins, and in‑home sitting, all arranged in consistent time blocks that help dogs thrive on routine. Weekdays: • 10:30–11:30 AM — Morning pack walk block • 12:30–1:30 PM — Mid‑day pack walk block • Early morning, late afternoon, and evening availability for drop‑ins, solo walks, or sitting depending on bookings Weekdays: • 10:30–11:30 AM — Morning pack walk block • 12:30–1:30 PM — Mid‑day pack walk block • Early morning, late afternoon, and evening availability for drop‑ins, solo walks, or sitting depending on bookings Weekdays: • 10:30–11:30 AM — Morning pack walk block • 12:30–1:30 PM — Mid‑day pack walk block •Early morning, late afternoon, and evening availability for drop‑ins walks or sitting, depending on bookings. Evenings & Weekends: Available for in‑home sitting, extended drop‑ins, and specialty care for senior dogs, puppies, and anxious doodles. I keep my schedule intentionally limited so each dog receives calm, individualized attention and a predictable routine. If you have a doodle or low‑shedding breed that benefits from structure, gentle handling, and allergy‑conscious care, I’d love to support your family. I provide calm, structured, and coat‑compatible care designed specifically for doodles and low‑shedding breeds. Whether I’m in your home or caring for your dog during walks or drop‑ins, I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and predictable routines. In your home, I follow your dog’s established schedule, feeding and handling preferences, and any grooming or coat‑care routines you rely on. I maintain a clean, low‑distraction environment, avoid exposure to other dogs’ fur or dander, and keep all outings controlled and intentional. My pack walks are small, curated groups of compatible low‑shedding dogs, ensuring calm socialization and a safe, allergy‑conscious experience. I’m highly attentive, communicative, and respectful of your home and your dog’s comfort. My goal is to provide a trustworthy, elevated level of care that keeps your dog safe, relaxed, and understood, while always being mindful of your allergy‑conscious home and the low‑shedding environment your family relies on.

“Amy was amazing. Always on time, very reliable, truly cares about your pets and meeting them where they are. Great communication and super patient with pets. I have a senior dog and a puppy and Amy was able to be accommodating to both of them. 10/10!”
“Took amazing care of my babies and kept me updated throughout their walk. She was very friendly and my anxious Chihuahuas immediately loved her energy and were pulling to greet her. All around would recommend Sanela!”
“Hannah is definitely the best walker I have ever met. She is so responsive and sweet, always having a safe and happy walking journey with my doggy. I will always go back to her.”
About: I have helped take care of friends and families dogs/pets for about 5 years now. I have overnight sat for friends and took care of their dogs that required special feeding and medication instructions. I also helped train my own dog with stuff like sit and paw. I am currently working part-time in the hospital as an aide. I will not be working for most of the summer, so I will have plenty of time to check in on dogs or even stay over night at houses to pet sit. I have a fenced in yard and a long, strong lead if needed for dogs that can be escape artists. I also am strong enough to hold bigger dogs that can pull.
About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family always had pets, including dogs, cats, and rabbits. Caring for them taught me responsibility, patience, and how to understand each pet's unique personality. I know that leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful, so my goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable and confident. I treat every pet as if they were part of my own family, providing plenty of love, attention, playtime, and care based on their individual needs and routine. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, interactive play, quiet companionship, or simply sticking to their daily schedule, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. Communication is very important to me. I'll send regular photo and video updates, along with messages about how your pet is doing, so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. I'm available for last-minute bookings whenever possible. I have experience caring for puppies, senior pets, and multi-pet households. I'm happy to follow your pet's feeding schedule, medication routine, and any special instructions. I am currently working part time and have sufficient extra time to care for your kitten or cats! My availability is before 11 am and after 1pm daily. I have an apartment with a yard to walk around within gated community if needed. Additionally, it is on the ground floor for convenience or easy access.
“Kerri has been walking Zuko (mostly) daily for about a month and she has been wonderful! We have a flexible schedule and she is extremely responsive, Zuko loves her and has great fun on their walks. She is always prepared with extra poop bags and is always willing to refill his water or feed him lunch or give him a treat before leaving if ever I’ve requested it! If you need a regular walker in the area I’d definitely recommend her!”
“Noila was very prompt and walked Miles without any issues. She had a last minute adjustment close to the time and had to modify the booking, but she was very apologetic and professional about it. We would definitely use Noila’s services again.”
“Ailish was amazing with our dog, Coogan! She was kind, communicative, and very flexible, and we always felt confident knowing she was in great hands. Would absolutely book again!”

“Awesome first walk today. My pup is a little timid and not used to having strangers in her space. Rebecca was incredibly patient with Penny and really focused on creating a bond with her which is so so important. By the end of the visit Penny was eating treats out of her hand, licking her face, and welcomed Rebecca’s cuddles. I couldn’t believe she was able to win Penny over so quickly. Couldn’t be happier!”

My day is built around potty breaks, outdoor time, and engagement. With a fully fenced in yard and a doggie door, dogs have safe and supervised access to outside time throughout the day, along with plenty of indoor comfort and companionship. When dogs stay with me, they become part of the family! I'll accommodate their feeding time, exercise needs, and sleeping habits. I have crates available if needed.

“Belinda was wonderful with our furbaby and sent us an update each day. She was very accessible by text and easy to communicate with. Our dog got along well with her dog, Sloane, who is a sweetie. Also, she has the perfect fenced in yard for the dogs to play! We will certainly work with Belinda again!”
“Guillermo did a fantastic job with my dog, Kiara. She gets nervous around new people, so it’s always tough for me to leave her. I booked an overnight stay with Guillermo to see if they’d be a good fit, and it went perfectly. As soon as I arrived, I felt comfortable. Guillermo showed me around the house so I could see where Kiara would stay, which put me at ease. Kiara quickly warmed up to him and didn’t seem upset when I left. During the day, Guillermo sent thoughtful updates and photos, which really helped me relax. When I came back to pick up Kiara, she was happy to see me. She gave me a few kisses and then settled on the couch like she was at home. I really appreciated Guillermo’s care, communication, and the calm, friendly atmosphere he created. I have already booked with him again.”
“We can't thank Lori G. enough for taking care of our precious pups while we were on vacation! Lori provided frequent updates including multiple pictures and videos which made us feel connected to our pups while away! She kept our pups active by bringing them on walks and played with them inside and outside her home in her fenced in back yard! Lori G. is a wonderful person with a special love for dogs, and quite evident that our pups were more than well cared for!!! We most certainly will have Lori G. take care of our pups again!!! Thank you so much Lori G. (:-)”
“Yang was so great with our dog! We got daily updates with pictures and videos. She was also so wonderful to us, our flight was canceled and rescheduled for 2 days later. Luckily we were able to get out the following night but Yang was so accommodating and kind while we were in a state of worry. Lucky will be back in a few weeks for a second stay!”

About: I grew up in Burlington, Vermont surrounded by dogs and have had them nearly my entire life. Today I have two Mini Australian Shepherds, Rosie and Chili, who keep me on my toes with their high energy, intelligence, and need for constant engagement. Because of them, I’m very comfortable caring for active breeds that require structured exercise, mental stimulation, and consistent routines. Our days include long walks, outdoor adventures, puzzle toys, tug-of-war, training reinforcement, and plenty of playtime balanced with calm downtime. A fun piece of my background — my mom bred Mini Aussies for six years, and I actually helped deliver and care for many of the litters. From puppies to senior dogs, I understand behavior, body language, and how to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every dog like they’re part of my own pack. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because my lifestyle already revolves around my own dogs. Working from home helps a lot with this. I’m active, reliable, and organized, which allows me to provide dependable care whether that means drop-ins, walks, or extended stays. I take time to learn each dog’s personality, routines, triggers, and comfort level before care begins. In a client’s home, I respect established routines to keep pets feeling secure and stress-free. I closely supervise play, use secure leashing practices, and maintain awareness of surroundings during walks. With experience raising high-energy working breeds, I understand the importance of both physical exercise and mental stimulation to prevent anxiety or destructive behavior. I work in sales and constantly have my phone on me. I usually respond immediately unless I am in a meeting.

“It was our first time leaving our 1yo puppy with a new family. He spent 4 nights with her and had a great time. Nicole was very kind, very understanding of his special needs and treated him to a great adventure on a beach. Could not have asked for a better family to leave our doggie. Thank you Nicole!”
“This was the first time we have been away from our puppy for a long period of time and Akhil did an amazing job easing our anxiety and our puppy's. Akhil was in constant communication with us, sent us plenty of pictures and videos throughout the day and kept our puppy entertained via multiple enrichment activities. We could tell our puppy enjoyed her time with Akhil because she gave him a going away hug when we picked her up haha. Akhil will be our go to dog sitter moving forward!”
“We boarded our dog and cat for a week. Likun is very experienced and attentive in taking care of both cats and dogs. We received daily updates and she also replied to our messages very promptly. Her Border Collie is so sweet and gentil. Our puppy was really happy she has a mature big sister and perfect playmate! The home is well equipped to take care of multiple pets and her backyard is perfect for dogs to play in.”
