“Emily was so great with my cat! She paid a lot of attention to his behaviors and I could see he was having a good time when she sent update photos. We booked her for housesitting, and she did a perfect job. Would recommend her!”

“Nicole was excellent on her services. She stayed in our apartment for a house visit and she was super respectful of the place. She was very effective in communication and I was never wondering what our dog was up to, since Nicole planned out several activities and outings. I’m 100% hoping to re-book her for any future needs.”

“Cynthia did a great job taking care of my elderly cat Simon while I was away. He has some specific diet and medication things, and she made sure he was well taken care of. She communicated every day and I knew he was in good hands!”

“Yeji was super responsive with us and very kind to our beagle - playing fetch, following her feeding schedule, and being attentive to her. Our doggo can be anxious but was in good hands with Yeji!”

“Madeline is a great communicator and easy to schedule with. She was very attentive towards our pets and really cared for them. She’s very flexible with her schedule and was able to accommodate us within a short period of notice.”

“Traci has great energy and will do everything in her power to make sure your pet is safe, comfortable and well taken care of. She is an exceptionally responsible, quick-learning sitter, and an excellent communicator. Plus, she seriously makes the best shortbread cookies I have EVER tasted. We will not hesitate to book her again!”

“Marcus (listed as Devon on Rover) was a phenomenal sitter for my GSD Izzy. He was in constant communication with me and my family around her care, went out of his way to ensure she had three walks and plenty of play time each day and made sure her scheduled walks, medication, and feeding times remained structured for the 2.5 weeks I was traveling. Izzy is a very loving dog but does require a confident handler with advanced knowledge given her working dog temperament and Marcus adapted to her needs seamlessly. Would recommend and rebook without hesitation (in fact we already have) and was grateful to have him for our extended sit. It allowed me to travel with sustained peace of mind and I returned home to a VERY happy and pampered dog who seemed less excited by my return than she was disappointed by Marcus’ departure!”

“Lelani is amazing and went beyond our expectations to love on Cash! She sends the most amazing updates with photos and loved ones our boy so much. It made having to be away so much easier. She left our place spotless, which was a surprising plus.”

“Spencer was a godsend! He house sat my anxious, reactive dog Java for 4 days while I was on vacation. He was punctual and incredibly flexible. He sent regular updates, followed my care instructions perfectly, was patient as my dog warmed up to him. I would call Spencer again for any future sitting needs!”

“I had a wonderful experience with Victoria (Rev). We recently moved to Boston and Rev stayed in my apartment with Charlie for 5 nights, which is the longest I have had to leave him since moving. Charlie is older and has been a little anxious while adjusting to our move and it was clear that Rev gave him the love and attention he needed to keep him calm while I was away. Rev sent regular updates and photos, which helped keep my mind at ease. My flight was delayed and Rev was super accommodating to stick around until I got home. I would absolutely recommend Rev to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and truly exceptional dog sitter. We look forward to working with Rev in the future!”

“Ana was a great caretaker for Rex and Lily! She provided daily photo updates and helped them stick to their usual routine while we were gone for a long weekend. Lily immediately clung to her during our meet and greet which is often unusual given her anxious nature. She was very respectful of our space and left everything nice and clean. We would happily rebook her in the future.”

“Brooke took care of my puppy for a few hours at night. Lots of communication on how it was going and sent cute pictures. We came back to him sleeping peacefully. Would definitely have Brooke pet sit again!”


“Julia W. was great with our exuberant goldendoodle, Jake. She clearly loves animals, and has excellent experience with dog care and training. Jake was busy each day with multiple walks, playtime, and then some nice down time. Julia communicated well, sent us pictures, was very responsive. We knew that our dog was in great hands. Thank you so much!”

About: I've grown up with dogs of all kinds and ages (my childhood dog- the most precious shapendoes- passed recently at age 15). I'm a graduate student with a flexible schedule, and could arrange to spend time with your dog during regular work days! Please reach out with any questions! Warmly, Alex I spend most of my time reading, writing, and studying, which all can (and should!) be done in the presence of a dog! Most of my work is remote! I’ve taken care of dogs with a variety of different needs- including an elderly fellow who needed to be carried up stairs, a hearing-impaired friend who needed visual cues, and a small sir who needed extra supervision around household and neighborhood hazards.
“Eveline took excellent care of our dog Ellie. She was very communicative during the stay and provided regular updates! Ellie seemed to really enjoy her time having Eveline watch her!”

“Anna took wonderful care of our puppy Semmie while we were away. She was clearly attentive and gentle with her. Semmie was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for the whole time. Anna also communicated really well throughout, and she even took the initiative to come by beforehand to meet Semmie and get to know her before the sit started, which gave us so much peace of mind. It’s obvious Anna genuinely loves dogs and treats them like her own. We felt completely at ease knowing Semmie was in such good hands, and we’ll definitely be booking Anna again for future pet sitting!”

“Sabina was wonderful! Made friends with our reactive dog very quickly! She also took care of him during a power outage, and we are so grateful. We came back to a happy and relaxed lil guy!”

About: I grown up in a household that has always had dogs. Family, friends, and neighbors have relied on me to take care of their pets since I was 12. I miss taking care of my parents dog, so I would love to take care of yours! I am active so I would love to take your pet on walks or play in the park. I have a fenced in yard and near plenty of parks, and am very aware of my surroundings inside and outside. I work remotely Wednesday through Friday and can schedule walks or sittings around my job. I am also available weekends at any time if day. Im Amanda, lover of all pets young and old, big and small. We can do walks, hikes, even to a play day at the park. I have a pet friendly apartment and a yard. Any specific requests for them? Let me know! I allow them on my bed and couch, unless you prefer them not to. I always keep the water bowl full and pets happy and healthy.
“We were so happy to have Devika stay in our home with our dog Lucy while we attended a wedding! Devika was very responsive and sent lots of photos of Lucy which I appreciated. She was available on short notice and left our house in great shape. Thank you Devika!!”

Olivia was wonderful! My cat is a very social, affectionate guy - he really needs companionship when I have to travel as he can sometimes get ibd flair ups when he is stressed, and I can tell she kept him in excellent company. He was perfectly calm and happy when I got back. I really appreciated Olivia taking the time to do an intro visit; she is friendly and professional, and struck an immediate friendship with my cat - it's always a little scary to leave your pet with a new sitter, but it was easy to trust Olivia with him upon first meeting her. She sent check in texts and photos. We look forward to booking with her again in the future!

Justin is reliable, communicative, and a very thoughtful house sitter! Loki and Freyja both seemed to enjoy their time with him greatly. He handled both dogs' needs well, sent lots of photo and video updates, and made me feel secure that both pups were well taken care of while I was away.

Gina was awesome with our dog Amber! We were extremely happy with how she was so communicative with us the entire time. She sent pictures and gave us cute updates. Gina was also really helpful by coming to meet Amber before their time together. Really made the transition of leaving smooth. Would absolutely book with her again! ✨

Ugur was an incredible cat sitter! We just moved to Boston and he took incredible care of our two cats Jackson and Kobe! They both liked him and warmed up to him quickly :) he sent consistent updates and very cute photos and followed all instructions clearly. We can back to two very healthy and happy boys! Would highly recommend Ugur for any of your pet sitting needs!

Kelly took great care of our two dogs while we were away for the weekend. One of them is generally quite nervous but warmed up to Kelly quickly. She was timely and followed our instructions and most importantly made sure to give our dogs plenty of love and attention!
We had a wonderful experience with our dog sitter, Ciana. She was communicative, reliable, and clearly a true dog person. Our two dogs absolutely loved her, and it was obvious she spent quality time playing with them and making them feel comfortable and cared for. We came home to two very happy pups and would gladly have her watch them again!
