“Victoria did a great job watching my two cats for a week! She was very communicative and the cats were very comfortable with her. I’d absolutely have her catsit again!”
“Alana was once again amazing with my pup! She followed all of the instructions I left and kept me in the loop during her time with Tyson. She also sent me pictures while I was gone. I highly recommend her!”
“Cynthia is absolutely amazing and we feel so lucky to have found her. Our dogs always have a great time with her and she sends tons of pictures keeping us updated on their shenanigans”
“Tommy was so great with our Dorothy!! Dorothy was well taken care of and we received frequent updates including pictures. Will definitely use Tommy again in the future”
“Jovani was so helpful to us. She was available and flexible. She was respectful and engaging. We appreciated her confidence to feel secure with our dogs from the beginning and they were very comfortable with her. Having her stay in our home provided excellent care for our dogs and managing their meds and needs. We will schedule her again soon!”
“Nile was wonderful! He was super easy to communicate with before and during our trip, took fantastic care of Frances, and left the apartment spotless. And, of course, he sent great photos. Well definitely ask him to watch Frances again!”
“Valeria has been-by far-the best dog sitter for my boy Charlie. She was very communicative and thoughtful. She also immediately bonded with Charlie and knew how to take such good care of him. She gave multiple updates throughout the day and sent me the best photos and videos. Thank you so much Valeria, you are a gem!!”
“Lyv took wonderful care of our furry baby! She took excellent notes and was in regular communication while we were away, which we really appreciated. We won’t hesitate to book with her again.”
“Luis is honestly one of the best caregivers I've found for my elderly dog. He is patient and kind, and I have absolute confidence that my old girl is in excellent hands when I need to leave her. I rebooked Luis within days of his last stay. I recommend him without reservation!”
“Rachel was wonderful. She did a meet and greet which was great to get to know alabaster, my two-year-old Pomsky, and to make sure that we were a good fit. She had my dog for several days and stayed at my home to watch him and when I arrived back his nervous system was calm and he seemed so happy as though I never left at all. Would definitely have Rachel again for watching my pup alabaster. She was great at communicating but not overly communicating keeping me updated on things that seemed important and essential but yet made me feel like she was under control and could care for alabaster while I was gone.”
“Peter is awesome! He has a love for animals and really enjoys his time interacting with them. Peter played with Fiona, reinforce her basic obedience commands and shared affection with the other members of the pack, Toby and Freckles. Thanks Peter!”
“Ashley was fantastic when taking care of my dog Izzy! She was communicative and great about giving medication Izzy needed, which Izzy can be difficult about. I would gladly hire her again!”
About: I grew up with dogs and cats my whole life and have been taking care of my friends and families dogs the past 5 years. I have taken care of dogs of all different sizes and breeds. I am a full time social worker with a hybrid role which means I’m home a lot during the week even when I’m working. I always have weekends off and am available to take care of pets pretty much every weekend. I offer at home services and can easily stop by multiple times a day to provide food, walks, and all the pets necessary to make sure your pet is happy while you are away. Also open to house sit if 24/7 care is needed.
“Alice was amazing! She sent super detailed updates and photos and was a great communicator. She stayed in our apartment while watching our dog and even boiled water for him due to a dc water advisory without us even asking! We will definitely hire her again.”
“Rida was absolutely wonderful! She was so patient, kind, and caring with Kitty, and I could tell she truly loves animals. She took great care of him and gave me peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs, cats and other animals from a young age and as an adult I’ve always had pets in my home. I adore animals and love spending time with them. I’ve worked as a vet tech and cared for my own animals who have had medical issues and special needs. I work from home and am flexible for walks and boarding. My own dog, Roary, is a yellow lab who loves other dogs. We're a dog-loving family and our home is comfortable and welcoming. At my home, there's space for dogs' bed, dishes, toys - and plenty of room for them to be comfortable. My backyard is large with a secure fence and plenty of grassy area for them to run and relax.
About: I have grown up with dogs all my life and have walked them for two years. I make sure they have a safe fun time. My schedule is pretty open so I am guaranteed to make sure your pet is well taken care of and having a fun safe time. In clients home I make sure that gates are closed to backyard. Make sure they aren’t getting into anything they aren’t supposed to be in.
About: I grew up with pets and have watched them for friends, family and neighbors. I am experienced with taking care of dogs and cats, but I'm sure I could handle a bird and some fish! My goal is to find mutually beneficial relationships with folks living in downtown Boston. I am a school teacher on the edge of the city, so I have to go to work on weekdays. But for me it would be nice to stay downtown sometimes and take a dog for walks. My goal is to find mutually beneficial relationships with folks living in downtown Boston.
