“Kevin was exceptional - this was our first experience with a dog sitter, and he was courteous, responsive, and accommodating. His greyhound, Maki, is a gentle soul who got along wonderfully with our smaller dogs. We were especially grateful for the updates and photos of our pups relaxing and out on walks. I highly recommend Kevin and would be happy to entrust him with our pups again in the future!”

Dalton T.

Ciara E.

“Barbara and Darryll are amazing!! Our Mozzy was so happy and well cared for while he stayed with them. They were quick to respond and respectful of our rules.

About: I am an experienced pet sitter and animal lover! I grew up with a childhood dog whom I loved very much. When she passed, I began dog sitting often because I adore dogs so much I am a current Dartmouth senior with a very flexible day-to-day schedule. I have an active lifestyle and would love to add your dog into it! I live right next to several trail systems which I regularly use. I also live next to an extremely large, unfenced green space + a small front yard.

“My Morey came home happy and tired, all played out. Francine was great!”

Katie R.

“Ben took great care of our two dogs. You could tell they enjoyed being at his house and felt comfortable in their surroundings. Highly recommend! Thank you!”

About: Some of my first memories are of my dog Brownie. My mother raised Springer Spaniels for some time, and after that we had a Labrador, a Newfoundland, three Shitzu's and beloved little Scotty named Jimmy McPierce. I am a gardener by trade so I started petsitting/dogwalking professionally years ago, as a way to generate extra income during the winter months. What can I offer your pet? Personalized care. I understand that every animal has it's own personality quirks. I can work with that! If you have special commands or routines for your pet, please let me know in advance so I know how to best care for your pet. I go above and beyond most sitters because I deeply care for the emotional wellbeing of animals. How many can I watch at once? Multiple pets are not a problem, more the merrier. What if my dog or cat needs to be given medication? I have many clients whose pets require medication. I can administer shots if you have a diabetic in the family. What if my pet is high energy? I am a very active person so if your pup likes to go on runs or hikes, please let me know. I love to play with frisky cats too! I tend to be busier in the summer and therefore don't take on as many clients, but devote most of my time to caring for pets during winter months. However, if you are located somewhere close to my work in the summer, then overnights shouldn’t be a problem as long as your pet can be alone for around six hours. I will consider taking certain dogs into my home for overnights if it is the right fit. I don't own my own house, so I must be sure they will not damage anything. Cats are also welcome if they meet the same behavioral standards.

“AnnaRose kept in touch and provided photos of my dogs obediently sitting in their beds and playing with each other. She took them to their favorite park for long walks. The dogs seemed well-exercised and fed according to instructions. They seemed to like AnnaRose and her pups and though they were excited to see us, they were just their normal selves, not exhausted or hyper. It was clear they bonded with her and she with them. I will use AnnaRose again for sure. Very pleased with her kind and conscientious service.”

Cynthia B.

“Anna was an outstanding pet and house sitter. She was professional, responsive, and incredibly patient with all of my nervous pet-mom questions throughout the stay. She arrived right on time, took wonderful care of my pets, and left my home in immaculate condition. She even washed all of the bedding without being asked, which was such a thoughtful and appreciated gesture. I came home to happy pets and a house that looked wonderful. I would not hesitate to recommend Anna and would gladly book her again.”

Kathryn R.

About: I have taken care of pets and have had pets for as long as I can remember. I have two dogs and three cats! My animals are my kids! I have worked hard with my dogs to train them, as well as, one of them being my service dog. I am currently unemployed and have plenty of time to give your pet lots of time, energy and love. I truly enjoy spending as much time with animals as I can My dogs are trained to be on and off leash. I will take care of your pet in whatever way you feel is best for your pet and per your instructions.

“Amber was a fabulous dog-sitter! She sent me the cutest pictures on Rupert, clearly enjoying his stay. It enabled me to enjoy my journey, knowing he was well-cared for. I will gladly book with Amber again.”

Sarah C.

“Shannon was awesome. Very communicative and took my booking last minute and was very accommodating figuring out the details. My dog loved sitting on their balcony porch :)”

Lane Z.

“Our dog had an awesome time with Allaire and was very well cared for while we were away! Allaire was very responsive and sent lots of pictures and updates which was greatly appreciated. We would definitely use Allaire again for boarding!”

Kimberly C.

“Robert was fantastic and went above all asked. I was not worried at all when I went on vacation to leave my kitties in his hands. I highly recommend Robert for your pets, and will definitely reach out to him in the future!”

Jennifer B.

About: I have cared for cats including senior needs and when they have the zoomies. My goal to to keep a safe environment for them to feel comfortable when their families are away.

About: I have spent many overnights at homes while providing pet care. The durations of these stays have been up to a week. I do very well with following clear directions for feeding, medications, as well as other pet care needs. This includes affection and playing— I absolutely love dogs and cats! I am a teacher, which of course is a very busy job. However, I do not work over the summer, which means I have lots of flexibility in these months. I am also available during most weekends! I care for pets in my clients’ homes by following instructions regarding feeding, medications, going outside, as well as anything else that may be necessary! When owners are gone, I recognize it is best for the pets to keep their routines as consistent as possible! I respect any rules clients may have for their pets (e.g. where around they house they are allowed, any dietary limitations, and any necessary precautions to take so that the pets stay safe!)

“Payton did drop in visits for our two cats while we went on a two week vacation. She was great with communication and sending photos for each visit. The cats were well taken care of while we were away. I recommend Payton as a friendly and reliable person. Thanks Payton!”

Noel J.

“Tatiana was so helpful! I needed someone last minute to let my Milo out for a little bit and she had no complaints and drove during the night. She was very good with him and let me know everything and I highly recommend. Thanks so much!”

Chelsea H.

“Sue took great care of Rocky while we were away. He's an old cat and he worries a lot when we're gone, but he looked happy and relaxed when we returned. The house looked great too! I'll definitely book Sue again.”

Sue L.

“Margaret has been a wonderful cat sitter for my baby. She’s reliable and dependable, and Nina loves the time she spends petting her. I can go on vacation worry free knowing she’ll take care of her.”

Fabiola H.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats and have done house sitting for 4 years. I love doing this kind of stuff. I can walk them, go for walks all that fun stuff. Im doing babysitting right now but can house sit whenever and can be with the dogs/cats whenever. I am always free to take them out whenever needed. I will watch pets in your home and or/ stay in your home for house sitting overnight. I will keep them safe and follow any rules.

“Lika and Alister took great loving care of Rosey during her stay with them. Loved the photo update cuteness throughout her stay. Thanks Lika and Alister!”

Allysun R.

“Annie was incredibly kind and considerate, she was very attentive to my dog’s needs and sent us constant updates on how my dog was doing while also sending photos throughout their time together. She made me feel comfortable leaving my dog in her home and made me feel heard when explaining my dog’s needs. Of all the pet sitters we’ve had, she has been the best one, we would book with her again and recommend to others.”

Susana S.

“Christina and Jason were wonderful dog sitters for our pup Honey! We were RV camping staying in a nearby campground. We had some excursions planned where we could not take our pup and Christina and Jason took good care of her. They went on walks in the woods and Honey settled in on their sofa and napped afterwards. They sent pictures of her to let me know that she was happy as she has anxiety when we leave her. I would definitely recommend them and use them again if we’re in the area.”

Karin H.

“Charlie had a great time. Ben was very friendly and accommodating! He was great at communicating. We look forward to using him in the future.”

Brittany P.

About: I can’t remember the last time I’ve lived in a home without a dog or cat! I’ve been training my own furball who’s 10 months old and he’s doing great! I’d say most of my experience comes from watching my own animals, family’s furry friends and neighbors’ pets. I have some time on my hands in between jobs at the moment to help others out. I am currently between jobs for the next few months so I have plenty of time and flexibility to work with your schedule. Happy to fill my days with more dogs! I have a large yard and plenty of trails nearby to walk the dogs! I also have a 10 month old Irish wolfhound that absolutely loves hanging out with other dogs! I have crates - large enough for an Irish wolfhound and room for yours if needed!

“Lauryn was a great sitter! I would definitely recommend her.”

Jessica E.

About: Experienced caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Skilled in handling energetic puppies, including leash training, socialization, and establishing positive routines. Compassionate care for senior dogs, with attention to mobility limitations, arthritis, vision or hearing loss, and age-related health needs. Experienced administering oral medications and following prescribed medication schedules accurately. Knowledgeable in post-operative recovery care, including activity restrictions, monitored walks, incision observation, and rehabilitation support as directed by veterinarians. Comfortable with dogs that require special handling, mobility assistance, or adaptive equipment. Experienced providing feeding, fresh water, exercise, enrichment, and companionship during visits. Able to recognize changes in behavior or health and communicate concerns promptly to owners. Committed to safe leash handling, positive reinforcement techniques, and maintaining a calm, low-stress environment. Dependable, trustworthy, and focused on treating every pet as if they were my own. I offer flexible daytime and evening availability to walk, visit, and spend quality one-on-one time with your pup. Whether your dog needs a midday potty break, exercise, companionship while you're at work, or an evening check-in, I provide dependable, personalized care tailored to their needs. My goal is to ensure your pet stays happy, comfortable, active, and well cared for until you're home. Your dog's safety and well-being are my highest priorities. I use secure leash and harness practices and follow your pet's normal routine to minimize stress. I carefully monitor dogs for signs of illness, injury, overheating, fatigue, or discomfort during walks and visits. I clean up after every walk and help keep your home tidy by wiping muddy paws, cleaning food and water bowls as needed, and promptly cleaning up any accidents. Fresh water is always provided, and feeding instructions are followed exactly as requested. I sanitize hands and equipment between visits when appropriate to help reduce the spread of germs between households. I keep gates, doors, and fences securely closed and locked, and I never leave a pet unattended in unsafe situations. I communicate with pet owners after each visit, providing updates on walks, meals, medications, bathroom breaks, and any concerns that arise.

About: I grew up with a dog and multiple cats from age 5 until 20. I have also had pocket pets like hamsters and gerbils over the years. I am recently retired and want to work part-time at a job that is fulfilling. Spending time with animals is a joy for me as I currently do not have my own pet. I am very flexible, dependable, and responsible. I look forward to meeting and caring for your pet and will treat them with the care, respect, and love they deserve. I have a dog-safe rear seat cover for my truck in case I need to transport your dog for any reason such as to the veterinarian or a scenic area to walk your dog. When caring for your pet in your home I will treat your home like it was my own with the utmost respect. And that goes obviously for your pet too! I am currently retired so I typically have availability to care for your pet and am looking forward to it! I will care for your pet like it were my own. I do not offer the service of caring for your pet in my home. I will, however, care for your pets in your home and am willing to stay overnight if that is needed and have done so for extended stays.
