I will absolutely be using Aimee for any future travel.”

“Mya was wonderful in every way. She was highly communicative with me and sent lots of pictures and videos. She was also great with my terrified-of-everyone cat. I couldn’t have found a better sitter for my kitty while I was gone. I hope that if I need to travel again, she is available. I wish I could give more stars 😄”


9. Javkhlan T.

“Jackie was SO amazing! Her updates were very thoughtful and thorough and she sent the cutest pics of my little kitty. You can tell she cared so much about my Auggie while I was away and even helped clean up a few hairballs he had which was incredibly helpful. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone and will be requesting her again!!”


10. Aly S.

“Aly was so great! She was available last minute and took such good care of my cat. She was thoughtful, asked questions, and was responsive. Would highly recommend her !!”




11. Jack S.
“Jack has a keen sense of animal appreciation. He has cared for my 90lb Mastiff, 50lb English Bulldog, and 20lb Pug with kindness and grace while he lives in the Boston area. Jack was in tune with all the quirkiness my beast(s) had and could redirect with kindness and compassion, all while providing them with positive stimulation. I can confidently recommend Jack for any pet care needs.”


12. Daniel N.

“Daniel did great with our shy and cautious dog. He warmed up to him surprisingly quick, which we took as a great sign. Daniel left the home clean and did everything as instructed. His daily drop-in notes were informative and thorough. We would definitely book him again in the future.”

16. Kelley K.
“Kelley is incredibly reliable and a very responsible dog walker. She provided many photos and communicated updates while we were away on vacation.

19. Brooke S.
“Brooke has watched my dog Bella a bunch of times, and I honestly can’t recommend her enough. She’s super dependable and clearly loves spending time with dogs — Bella warmed up to her really quickly, which isn’t always the case! When they go on walks, I can tell that Brooke actually takes the time to explore with her instead of just doing the usual loop. They check out new parts of the neighborhood, and Bella always comes back happy and ready for a nap. Brooke is super reliable, communicative, and clearly loves dogs! She makes sure Bella gets lots of love, playtime, and attention, and she always sends the sweetest updates and photos while I’m away. It’s such a relief to know Bella is not just being looked after, but genuinely having fun and feeling comfortable. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and great with animals, I can’t recommend Brooke enough!”


20. Eden S.
“Eden is the most caring and kind person ever to take care of my dog. She went above and beyond to mentally stimulate my dog and I definitely recommend her dog walking and dog sitting services.”
