“Thank you, Karen, for taking such good care of Marley! You are so easy to work with and flexible with scheduling. The accommodations were so “ homey” it was like she was in her own home. She enjoyed Guinness, your dog, it’s good she had another dog to play with. Thank you, again!!”

I highly recommend Courtney!”
“Robert is wonderful—such a kind person. We left our dog with him for three days and could not have been happier. Every morning, he sent us a message about how Cookie was doing, along with a video. He took great care of her. Thank you so much, Robert! I trust him completely and will absolutely leave Cookie with him again whenever we need to travel.”
“Alyssa was the first time I ever hired a pet sitter 😊. I was super impressed!! Willow is a rescue we only had about a month, so we were concerned about having her get nervous and anxious in a new environment and away from us. Alyssa kept us updated on my Willow's stay - pictures and prose. We were so relieved to see Willow getting along so well with Alyssa. Willow came back content, and we were so happy to have found Alyssa!! Your pets will be so lucky to have Alyssa care for them; do not hesitate in the least. You will see for yourself what a loving and codependent care she gives them !”

“This is the first time Mimi stayed with Ty and her family. Mimi seemed to settle in easily with the family. It is a bonus that she had the chance to spend time with Ty’s two children. All were kind and loving with her. I appreciated the daily updates and photos from Ty. Mimi is home sleeping on the sofa next to me. I would not hesitate to leave Mimi with Ty and her family, again.”
“I can’t say enough great things about Doris and the wonderful care she provided for our dog, Giorgie, while we were away for over a week. From the start, she made us feel completely at ease by sharing frequent updates and lots of adorable pictures, which really reassured us that Giorgie was happy and in good hands. Doris clearly loves and understands dogs, and we could tell she went above and beyond to make sure Giorgie felt at home. We returned to a very happy and well-cared-for pup, and we’re so grateful for the excellent care she provided. Highly recommend Doris to anyone looking for a caring and attentive dog boarder!”

Such a nice and caring guy. He made the cutest report card for our dog. Sammy will definitely be visiting again when we go away.”

“Would definitely recommend Jayla! They were responsive and helpful in setting up a meet and greet, and were thorough in all of the questions they asked and what they needed for a good stay. They kept great communication, and gave us regular updates and photos to assure us our cat was doing well while we were out of town. In addition, I noticed that when we came home they had gone above and beyond and emptied the litter trash can, stripped the sheets, etc. which I thought was above and beyond. We would absolutely book Jayla for another stay and recommend them to anyone else looking for a sitter locally!”
“Noah was great for drop ins while I was away. He was clear to communicate and came to visit at the agreed upon times. He sent lots of pictures of my kitty and played with him plenty. I felt very comfortable having Noah visit Snowball. I would definitely use him again.”

We have one that requires different medication at different times and she handled the schedule easily.. She even played with them for a bit and of course sent pics. The boxes were taken care of and asked questions if needed. We really appreciate all the time and care she showed them. We hope to work with her again. Thank you!”
“Would not hesitate to have Jules sit for our three cats again! She did a fantastic job and even picked up an extra day for us during the end of our trip! Great communication with photos and updates. Great service and attention to all the cats needs! Thank you! Pamela”
“Briana was so thoughtful and caring for my two girls when I was away. She truly went above and beyond to make them and me comfortable in my absence. My cats are not easy customers, but she was up to the challenge”
“Kristine took wonderful care of our cats while we were away. She was consistent in the time each day that she came to visit them and made sure they always had adequate food and water. She had no trouble applying medication to one of our cats, who is notoriously difficult. She played with them and even made her own cat toy when she couldn't find ours. She communicated clearly and frequently and sent pictures that we appreciated very much. I highly recommend Kristine and would not hesitate to use her services again!”
“Have never used a pet sitter for my cat before. Always had family do it. Amy and Sarah were like family. Personable, reliable and great communication. Would absolutely use them again.”

“Jenna did drop in visits for our cat for 3 days while we were away. She sent a picture every visit and made sure to let me know how my cat was feeling. I felt safe with Jenna in my home and with my cat. Jenna is trustworthy and she was always very fast and clear with her communication.”
“Stephanie watched my anxious cat for 4 days and was incredibly thorough, thoughtful, and patient with him, despite his spiciness. I highly recommend her services!!”
“Xavier is reliable punctual and fantastic as always. He is detailed oriented and follows instructions well. I will book him again and I would absolutely trust him with my dog. I'm glad that I can have someone as reliable as him with my dog. We have communications so you can rest easy leaving him with your fur babies.”
“This is who you want taking care of your pets. Dependable and takes his time giving them some company while you’re away. Sends you several pics of them so you can check in. Will definitely be booking Gerard again.”

“Sonia is fantastic! Her regular check-Ins and photo updates are so appreciated. Wonderful, big fenced in yard for pups to play! Her dog Lola is terrific too. Both days we came home with a very tired, happy pup! Definitely recommend!”
About: I grew up with black lab mixes, having at least one dog in the house all the time. I helped to raise two of the family black lab puppies through 15 years and care for the next generation, a 2 year old black lab/border collie rescue pup, teaching her to sit and lay down. I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs over the past few years, learning patience from puppies, strength from sweet old ladies, and the careful nuance that comes with leash aggressive rescues. I now have an adopted a rescue greyhound in the family. She loves new friends but is also perfectly happy cat napping wherever her bed lands. Happy to host or walk, with or without her company. I’m full time at home and so I am free to do breaks and provide limited entertainment between meetings, which are never more than 1.5h. This is the schedule I provide my own pup and would extend to others. I treat them as my own. I prefer to be over communicative with owners if any potential issues arise as well. Greyhounds react particularly poorly to negative feedback and punishment, so patience and focus on pawsitivity (particularly treats) is a standard with me.

About: I grew up with dogs all my life but since moving to boston I haven't found a forever buddy so in the meanwhile I would love to take care of yours. I work full time at home but have a very flexible schedule. I am usually up by 6 am and go to bed as late as 10 pm. I usually take the doggies on a walk around 7-8 am then again around 12-2pm and then again in the evening 6-8pm. I will follow the the guidelines you provide for me of how to best take care of your furry one. I am organized and active.
“Another great few days with Ty! She communicates clearly, follows through on all logistics and timelines, and most importantly, cares for Dexter with kindness and diligence. He loves spending time with her!”
“Anely was lovely to work with. She was very careful and considerate with my timid pup, and helped her break out of her shell. I would absolutely recommend her services to others.”
About: Hi! I’m Georga, a lifelong animal lover with over 8 years of experience. I’m also a full time graduate student who mostly works from home, so I have lots of time and attention to give to your pets. I have a Boston terrier named Harley, a goofy and friendly 4 year old who loves making new friends (human and furry alike!) so I know important it is to feel confident that your pets are safe and loved while you’re away and that’s exactly is exactly the kind of care I provide. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I’m able to plan walks, drop in visits, and playtime throughout the day, and I enjoy breaking up my work with some pet cuddles. I will follow your pet’s established routine as closely as possible and send lots of update pics along the way! Overall, I will spend quality time giving attention, play, and enrichment so your pet can feel comfortable and cared for.

“Qualynda was amazing with our puppy. She watched her for us on very short notice and went above and beyond to care for her and keep us informed. Our girl is pretty timid and was scared at first but warmed up quickly and had a great time. She especially loved running around the big backyard! We will definitely use Qualynda again!”

“Emily had no problems getting in and out of the house with our key pad . She was able to get the dogs leashed and on their walk . I have one dog that's 8yrs old and super timid . She usually runs and hides when new people try to leash or pet her. One of my dogs uses a regular leash and the other a gentle lead. It's great to see everything worked out for their first 30 mins walk with Emily . Lookinv foward to their next walk !”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the genuine love, compassion, and patience I have for animals. Ever since I was little, I’ve always had a passion for caring for pets and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’ve cared for a variety of animals including cats, bunnies, and dogs, which has helped me become attentive to different personalities and needs. I currently have a dog named Roxie and care for a beautiful boy dog named Ozzy, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always strive to provide the happiest, safest, and most loving environment possible for every fur friend in my care. 🐾 Pet care fits well into my schedule because I am currently finishing high school, which gives me flexibility throughout the week, and I’ll have even more availability later on. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, so I always make time for walks, feeding, and making sure each pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to giving every fur friend the care and attention they deserve. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. This includes feeding them on schedule, making sure they always have fresh water, cleaning up after them, and providing walks, play, and companionship based on their needs. I pay attention to their behavior and well-being and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for at all times.

We received pictures with every walk and questions that showed he was attentive and responsible caring for our dog.”
“She was excellent with Leo! Went above and beyond and made sure the little bean was well taken care of. I had peace of mind knowing he was in good hands while I’m caring for patients 🥰”

About: I love working as a caregiver for dogs, cats, and humans of all ages. I am an artist and educator who is relatively new to Providence, working part-time as Faculty at RISD, and would love to spend some time with your dear pet! I offer new clients a complimentary introductory meeting with you and your pet! I am currently working part-time, and have lots of daytime availability to spend with your creatures! I am available most days before 3 pm. I will be traveling April 27 - May 7th, but have lots of availability before and after that trip. Over the past 20 years, I have worked in client's homes as a pet sitter, nanny, eldercare caregiver, and mental health attendant. I am comfortable working with your rhythms, space, and routine. I am very mindful in my client's homes and always respect their environments ways that meet their individual standards.
“Sabrina was the perfect choice for a dog walker in Boston! We had a meet and greet before the walk and she asked all the right questions. Her communication was great! She kept me updated throughout the walks (as well as many pictures). Trusted her completely and would absolutely use her again. Thanks so much Sabrina!”
About: I’ve taken care of my partners dog for the past two years, I’ve trained her to do things like spin, sit, wait, and paw. I have a background in parrot training, and if you know anything about parrots it’s that they are stubborn, so regardless of your pet I have the patience for any personality! I am a college student and part time nanny, so on weekends I have tons of free time to care for your companion, it brings me a sense of fulfillment because I am unable to own one myself. When I am not home my room is free roam all shoes and possible choking hazards are put away out of reach. Typically a morning walk in the yard on leash is done then an afternoon walk twice, and an after dinner before bed walk is completed. In between we do some play time/training. My favorite trick to train is spin!
About: My husband and I will both be taking care of your pup. We both grew up with multi-dog households and fully embrace the 'pets as family' way of life. Our seven year old herding dog is our constant companion and his cat sister is not far behind. With new dogs in the house, she tends to just keep to herself on the bottom floor of the house so dogs not good with cats are not a problem. We walk our dog at least twice a day. It is not our style to simply let him out back to do his business. While at our house, your dog(s) can also count on a solo or shared walk at least twice a day with "let outs" in between. Our dog's food is homemade as we have been through the allergy cycle with our pup too many times. This makes us very comfortable with and understanding of varied eating habits and dietary needs. We are comfortable administering medications if need be. We would LOVE your pup to snuggle on the couch or curl up in bed with us as our own prefers to simply guard the herd. We started really dog sitting for friends and family when we were still living in an apartment but now that we have a house to ourselves, it has been easier to open our doors up to more pups and more often at that. We have had senior dogs on medications, young pups in the midst of crate training, wildly active athletic types, food guarding growlers, and snuggle pups who sleep under the covers with us. Tony co-owns a business so has flexible hours and Emily is a local teacher with lunch breaks that allow for popping home to let the dog out during the week. If we go away it is mostly within New England to see family and have used Rover ourselves and loved it. At night and on the weekends you can find us curled up at home.
About: Hey, I'm Richie, a local dentist. I have worked well with dogs because I love to match their energy and be as playful as they are! I work on weekdays from 8-5. I play with Bosco in my giant backyard for an hour in the morning, and we go for a walk by the water in the afternoon to meet more fur friends. My yard is fenced with plastic deer fencing, and I always supervise the pups while they are in the backyard! Bosco is friendly with cats and dogs, loves to play outside and chill inside! Let Bosco and I relieve you some stress and watch your puppers while you do your thing! I wake up at 5-5:30 am to play with Bosco before going to work. I get back around 6 pm to take him on a walk. I'm available all day on weekends! I have a huge yard that is fenced with 7 foot plastic deer fencing that is secured with ground spikes and zip ties. All dogs are supervised while they're in the backyard. I keep the apartment nice and cool for Bosco, and always have new water available before a meal!

About: Hi! I'm Lynn, and caring for dogs has been one of the greatest joys of my life for more than 30 years. I've had the privilege of raising and caring for four incredible dogs, each of whom I lovingly called my "kids." They weren't just pets—they were cherished members of our family. Through every stage of life, from playful puppies to their senior years, I was there to provide them with the love, patience, and care they deserved. One of my beloved dogs, Gigi, developed diabetes later in life, which required daily insulin injections and eventually led to blindness. Caring for her taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and providing extra comfort to dogs with medical needs. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, especially when they require medication or specialized care, and I take that responsibility very seriously. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing in the yard, cuddling on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I carefully follow every instruction you provide, including feeding schedules, medication administration, dietary needs, exercise routines, and any special preferences that help your pet feel at home. My home features a secure, fenced-in yard with both grassy and paved areas, giving dogs plenty of safe space to explore, play, and enjoy the outdoors. I also know how important peace of mind is for pet parents. You'll receive regular photo and video updates, along with messages letting you know how your furry family member is doing, so you can relax knowing they're in caring hands. My goal is simple: to love and care for your dog the same way I cared for my own—with patience, kindness, compassion, and lots of hugs, kisses, belly rubs, and affection. When your pet is with me, they'll be treated like family. During the week, I work Monday through Thursday outside of the home and typically return by 5:30 PM. If you're comfortable with your dog being home during those hours, I'll make sure they're well cared for before I leave and as soon as I return, with plenty of love, attention, exercise, and playtime throughout the evening. On Fridays, I work from home, allowing me to provide more frequent companionship and care throughout the day. I'm also fully available on weekends and enjoy spending quality time with the dogs in my care. I believe open communication is important, so I'm always happy to discuss your pet's routine and determine whether my schedule is the right fit for their individual needs. My goal is to ensure both you and your pet feel comfortable, confident, and cared for. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my highest priorities. I understand that every dog has their own routine, personality, and needs, and I'm committed to following the care instructions you provide so they feel as comfortable as possible while they're with me. My home offers a secure, fenced-in yard with both grassy and paved areas where dogs can safely play, explore, and enjoy supervised outdoor time. Inside, they'll have a calm, clean, and welcoming environment where they'll be treated like part of the family. I'm happy to accommodate your preferences when it comes to your pet's routine. If your dog is crate-trained or you're more comfortable having them in a crate or exercise pen during certain times, I'm more than happy to follow that routine. Likewise, if your pet is used to having free roam of the home, I'm happy to discuss that as well. My goal is to maintain the routine they're familiar with to help reduce stress and make them feel at home. I'll also keep you connected with regular photo and video updates so you can see how your pet is doing and enjoy peace of mind while you're away. I know how much our pets mean to us because I've always considered mine to be family, and I'll care for yours with the same love, patience, and respect I'd want for my own.
“We had a wonderful experience with Gary! He was incredibly attentive to our two puppies throughout their 7-day boarding stay. We especially appreciated the regular updates and photos—it gave us real peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our pups were happy, well cared for, and getting plenty of attention. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again!”
“Longest trip I have left Jackson with someone for since I adopted him over 2 years ago. Just like every other time he’s stayed over Kenny & Kaylan’s, he is spoiled and has a blast!!”
“Jay & Faith were wonderful. I was grateful to receive regular updates and photos of my pup throughout her stay, and they made me feel confident that she was safe and loved while I was away.”
“If i could give more than 5 stars i would. This was my first time using Rover and I was a little nervous. Sonia was aware of this and did everything she could to put my mind at ease. She sent frequent updates and pictures of him living his best life. When I picked up my dog he was clearly happy and well taken care of. I will absolutely leave my dog with Sonia again.”
“Gilbert took great care of our black lab mix, Ember! She’s high energy and can be a lot sometimes, but Gilbert and his sweet pup Moon kept her entertained and happy! Recommend 100%!! Thank you so much Gilbert.”
