“Jeongeun did a great job on taking care of Sprout. She made sure that my anxious baby will be comfortable and have fun even without me. She also sent me pictures and videos of what they were up to. So happy I could trust my furbaby with her. And she also noted in detail the things Sprout did. Def will rebook again for our next trip to Boston! So happy to find my go to dog sitter in Boston. Thank you so much! I appreciate all your help! :)”


“I can’t say enough good things about Xiaoting. He has taken amazing care of my dog, Belle, and it’s such a relief knowing she’s in kind, capable hands. He keeps me updated throughout the day with messages and photos, which gives me so much peace of mind. His dog, Raphael, is wonderful with Belle and gets along great with other dogs too — such a sweet companion for her during the day. It’s clear he’s a true dog lover with a gentle, thoughtful approach. I’m so grateful to have found him and will absolutely continue using his services!”



“Stella loves going. She will miss everyone for the summer but is already looking forward to seeing you in September. Thanks for all you did for her as a puppy into and adult dog.”


“Summer loves spending the day with Christina and Cooper! You can tell from her excitement as soon as she sees Christina. Christina is super responsive as well.”


“Holly was great with our 14-year old labradoodle. She was able to accommodate a last minute request as well as make Cricket feel at home, despite the fact that our senior dog is very attached to us.”

“Rui was awesome! She's super accommodating and flexible, and my dog Petunia had a great time.”

“The best!”


About: Growing up with a Doberman as part of my family gave me a lifelong appreciation for the joy and companionship pets bring. Over the past five years, I’ve been lucky enough to dog-sit my sister’s adorable and gentle Italian Greyhounds, and it’s been a wonderful experience filled with walks, mini hikes, playful moments, and plenty of cuddles. I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets, whether it’s ensuring they’re happy and well-cared-for or simply enjoying their company. I’m also fond of cats and understand the unique needs of each animal. As someone who is responsible, trustworthy, and reliable, I take pride in providing the best care for your furry family members. I have a remote job which is laid back most of the time and gives me flexibility to care for your pet, time to play and go for walks. I live near a park perfect for the walks. My apartment is warm and sunny, comfortable for small/mid size pets. I keep things tidy and clean.

“Sara was great and understanding for Abby’s first stay with her. Lots of anxiety on Abby’s part and Sara was extremely helpful. Plan more stays!”


“Kim was wonderful with my dog. She was very communicative, friendly, and my dog had such great daycare days with her. We would highly recommend her to anyone!”


About: I have a 3 year pup named Bowie and I grew up with dogs my whole life. I will love and spoil your furbaby as if they were my own. NOTE: my profile says I have 2 dogs but I only have 1. I watch my Mom’s dog a lot so I have her under my account as a customer of the services :) I’m currently out of work so I have an open schedule to focus on your pup. Bowie would love a playmate to zoom around with! I have a big complex and a little dog run on-site. I also have a big deck I gate off during the warmer months. I have a 6 foot lead for extra security if needed. Bowie roams around the deck and takes in the sun or says hello to fellow friends when they walk by on the mini trails.

“Yulia and her family are caring and considerate. Sheila, their 8 year old corgie was very cute and friendly too! Peppercorn loved staying with her and playing with her elementary school aged children.”

“I was very nervous to leave my puppy with a stranger, but we’re so happy we found Arianna! She is incredibly caring and loving. Toffee absolutely love her and is always excited to see her and spend time at her place. He always comes home happy and well cared for, and it gives us such peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. I also really appreciate how she keeps us updated with photos and messages—it makes all the difference when we’re away from him. At this point, Arianna doesn’t feel like a stranger anymore—she’s become part of the family, and Toffee truly loves her company.”

“"Having Dilya care for my two Italian Greyhounds has been a true blessing! She goes above and beyond in every way—feeding them, taking them on walks and mini hikes, and even dressing them in cozy outfits for cold weather. My pups adore her playful energy and cuddles, and I know they’re in the best hands when she takes them to vet appointments or handles drop-offs and pick-ups from doggy daycare when I’m away. She’s responsible, caring, and genuinely loves my dogs as if they were her own. I couldn’t ask for a better caregiver!"”
