“Yick-hong was great with my cats! They were reliable and attentive and would absolutely recommend. I received daily updates and plenty of photos to keep my mind at ease while I was away. I will likely be working with Yick-hong again in the future!”
“Katy is a true professional with a clear love for what she does and the animals she cares for! Our pup is a gentle giant who is nervous at baseline, and it took her no time at all to warm up to Katy. Her ability to learn the ins and outs of our Bailey in such a short time was remarkable, and we highly recommend her services to anyone who is hesitant to leave their dog in anyone else’s care!”
“Alyson was fantastic! She accommodated for an extra pup on short notice. She handled nut job Isla and another visiting puppy who are bananas together. Made sure they pottied and was very responsive ! Thank you!”
About: I've helped care for my previous roommate's 60 lb dog for 6 years while living together. This included letting him outside, taking him on walks, feeding him, and giving him medication when needed. I've also watched and cared for several other friends' dogs and cats while they were away. I'm currently working part-time and will have most of the summer off, so my schedule is relatively flexible at the moment. Happy to chat more about it! I will respect and oblige by any rules or boundaries set forth for your pets and within your home. Happy to accommodate and meet you where you're at!
“Julia is a fantastic pet sitter! She is extremely reliable and we can tell that she truly loves animals — it is apparent in the playtime, snuggles, and beautiful photos she sends. She made us feel so comfortable while we were away. She went above and beyond for us - we had forgotten to cancel a meal delivery kit and she brought it in and unpacked it into fridge for us. 10/10 would recommend and will definitely be booking again!”
“Thu was our pet sitter for a weekend. She was very punctual (arrived exactly on time for all sessions), followed all the instructions and we were very happy with her! She was also able to give our cat the oral pill and gave us updates everytime she went to visit. Would highly recommend her services :)”
About: Hi I’m Megan! I just moved to Boston, I studied animal science at the University of Vermont so I absolutely love spending time with pets and I know a lot about animal needs! I have experience with a variety of animals as I have owned dogs, cats, bunnies, fish, Guinea pigs, cows, chickens, and more! I interned at a vets office and I also worked with sled dogs (Siberian huskies) throughout college and did all of the care for them including feeding, picking up poop, bathing, and tons of handling. I have experience raising puppies and caring for senior dogs, and love both. Specifics for what you want for your pet are always appreciated! I work at a pre-school so I am gone Monday-Friday from about 8am-3pm, so any dog staying with me during the week would have to be comfortable staying home during the day. I love to be active and go for walks and having a dog with me makes it so much more enjoyable! Whenever I have a pet they become my best friend for the time we spend together and I take their care very seriously. I live in an area of Boston that is very dog friendly with lots of walking trails nearby! I have gained a lot of experience through dog sitting and will always listen to your needs and expectations for how you want your pet to be cared for. I know how much love we all have for our pets so I make sure they feel loved while you’re away, and will keep you updated with lots of pictures and videos!
“Ilana was an amazing cat sitter to our two cats. One of them required medical attention unexpectedly and she was so supportive and communicated with us every step of the way. She went above and beyond, even gathering extra supplies as the cats needs changed. Our family was so grateful that we had such great cat care while we were traveling internationally.”
“I couldn't have chosen a better sitter to drop-in for my dog and cat during my short getaway. Rilee was phenomenal while caring for my two fur babies. They got lots of attention and time outside and they were happy and healthy upon my return. My home and pets were well cared for and Rilee dropped in for them on schedule, as promised. I was updated promptly upon her departure with pictures and a drop-in update that I thoroughly enjoyed. I will definitely use Rilee again in the future.”
“Royce did such a great job with my kitty. She was very accommodating on the meet and greet. She also made sure to send photos and give him lots of attention during her drop in. Thank you!”
About: With over 5 years of experience, I offer exceptional pet care services that include basic command training during their stay and soothing massages for their comfort. Your furry friend will receive personalized attention and specialized care, ensuring they feel loved and content while in my care. My experience also extends to caring for retired patrol dogs, providing our brave canines heroes with specialized attention they deserve after their dedicated service. Additionally, I have expertise in assisting senior dogs with walking troubles, ensuring they receive the gentle support they need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay I'm home-based on Mondays and Fridays, giving me all day to focus on our furry friends. From Tuesdays to Thursdays, I work from 9 AM to 4 PM. Each day, your furry friends get their morning stroll at 8 AM sharp before I dive into work, and another refreshing walk at 5 PM, and another walk before bedtime. There will be a midday stroll during lunch hours when I work from home and during weekends. Whether caring for pets in my home or at the client's location, I prioritize following all guidelines regarding feeding schedules, medication administration, exercise routines, and any specific needs or preferences outlined by the pet parents. In my home, I provide a secure and nurturing environment where pets have ample space to roam and play safely.
“Ethan was very communicative, professional, and great with my dogs. He really helped me out with a last minute drop in visit when a work event popped up. I will definitely use him again!”

She went above and beyond, even gathering extra supplies as the cats needs changed. Our family was so grateful that we had such great cat care while we were traveling internationally.
Stephanie was so great and I highly recommend her! She was very communicative and had great attention to detail. I felt very comfortable knowing she was taking great care of my cats while I was away. I particularly appreciated her patience with them as they were getting settled into a new space and how she was ver attentive to their needs!
Taylor was incredibly kind and thoughtful when it came to our two cats, one of which is a little grumpy. She checked in multiple times just to give updates on visits and of course sent great photos and descriptions of the visits. She made sure the grumpy cat felt comfortable without pushing boundaries which is so important to us.
Daria has been great! In a hybrid work role, it’s so nice to have someone I can rely on every week to take carry of Benny on the days I go into the office. Benny has been enjoying their walks and play time together. Daria has been easy to communicate and organize things with and always sends pictures of their time together l, which is so reassuring as a doggie momma. I have been very happy!!
Ethan is an extremely reliable sitter! He took care of our elder dog with respect and gentleness. Ethan is also extremely flexible, accommodating last minute requests to changes in the schedule. We will miss him now that he is moving away from us! Thank you Ethan!
