“Mel and Ariana took such wonderful care of Claude! They were sensitive and thoughtfully proactive about every aspect of his time with them, from the first moments of our meet-and-greet to the moment we picked him up at the end of the day. Their approach is 100% dog-centered. We are very grateful to know that thanks to Mel and Ariana, Claude had a safe, loving, and wonderful day!”


4. Heather C.

“Heather is very flexible and we felt comfortable leaving Teddy with her to go to a concert. We were out a little later than anticipated, but she was fine with that. Also, sent some pictures of Teddy playing with her dogs, which gave me real peace of mind that he was having fun and wasn’t lonely.”


5. Emma G.

“I am so happy to have found Emma. My two sweet but somewhat anxious dogs were immediately at ease in her lovely space. Her calm, confident energy is just what we were all looking for in a caregiver. Emma was easy to communicate with and very professional. I look forward to working with her again!”


6. Juliana T.

“We can't say enough good things about our dog walker! Otis was taken such good care of. He absolutely loved his walks and especially playing ball. She even cleaned him up after he got a little muddy and brushed him to make sure his fur didn't mat. We're so grateful for her excellent care and attention to detail!”


7. Rebecca D.

“Rebecca watched our dog Tally in her home and was great with her! We just picked her up and she is exhausted in the best way ☺️”

“Jessica and her daughter were fabulous hosts!! First off where they live is phenomenal!! It is so green and surrounded with wilderness. Loads of beautiful hiking areas and a nice big house!! They both come across as really gentle giving kind hearted people who are great with animals!! Bruno had a great time with them and was ready to go to sleep when we got home last night!! I would definitely recommend them and plan to use them again in the future!!”

About: Ive had a lifelong dedication to working with animals, especially dogs, paired with my professional experience in pet care. I’ve worked for a pet sitting company in the past, handling dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and temperaments, including those with specific medical, behavioral, and nutritional needs. With my background in animal science, I deeply understand pets’ health and well-being. Whether puppy training, senior pet care, or managing special dietary requirements, I provide expert, personalized attention for every animal I care for. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. I prioritize creating a structured schedule that ensures every pet in my care receives consistent attention, exercise, and personalized care based on their unique needs. Whether it’s daily walks, administering medication, preparing specialized meals, or providing enrichment activities, I seamlessly integrate these tasks into my routine to maintain the health and happiness of each animal. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I ensure a safe and comfortable environment tailored to each pet’s needs. In my home, pets have access to a spacious fenced in backyard where they can play, relax, and receive plenty of attention. I offer daily walks, enriching activities, and follow any specific care instructions to ensure proper care for your pets! In a client’s home, I focus on maintaining the pet’s usual routine to ensure they feel comfortable and secure. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or following specific care instructions, I tailor my approach to meet their individual needs. I treat every pet with the same level of care and attention I would give my own, and make sure to follow any guidelines provided by the owner. I also take care to keep the home tidy and safe, ensuring the environment remains peaceful and stress-free for both the pet and the owner.


10. Ben N.

“Fillie had an amazing day with Ben. He documents with photos and videos throughout the day and it was great to be able to see what she had been up to. She instantly warmed up to him. He has a special way with dogs that makes them feel comfortable and safe. When we picked her up she came home and went to sleep. We look forward to taking her to Ben's again and I know she'll be well taken care of.”


11. Shawna B.
“Shawna was awesome! I was gone for 5.5 weeks and she took excellent care of my two dogs- mini poodle and King Charles spaniel. She is loving, attentive, followed my instructions perfectly, and sent photos. I trust her implicitly with my pets!!”


12. Ali S.

“Ali and his wife went above and beyond in caring for our dog! Not only did they keep us updated with photos and messages, but they also took her to the dog park, where she had the best time playing with their own dog, Hasti. It was heartwarming to see how much fun she had, and we could tell she felt right at home. Highly recommend Ali!”


13. Janice A.
“Janice took such great care of my dog Laila. She sent me lots of photos and updates and it was clear how happy Laila was there. I highly recommend Janice and will book with her again next time I need a dog sitter.”




14. Ryan O.


“Elio had a lovely first day of playing at Ryan's daycare! Ryan took a lot of time to get to know both of us, telling me about his daycare and making sure Elio was a good fit. And once Elio arrived, he settled in nicely with the other dogs. Ryan gave us updates about which dogs he was making friends with and sent a few cute pictures. We will be back!”


15. Erin B.

“Erin is great! Took excellent care of my dog, and sent cute updates throughout the day. Very friendly, helpful, and communicative. Highly recommend!”


16. Nel G.
“I was looking for someone to house sit and take care of my dogs while my husband and I were away. I posted an ad on the UMass job site and she applied. She was responsible, trustworthy and very good with the animals. I will certainly hire her again.”


17. Amad E.

“Amad was amazing!! Would definitely recommend him to take care of your pup. Marley was well taken care of and came back tired from all the walks they went on🙌🏼 10/10”


18. Megan P.
About: Our home offers a large fenced in yard for endless play, with doggy door access. Our own fur baby is a small bundle of joy, ready to befriend any visitors! I am also a stay at home mom of an animal loving toddler and so we are able to give your pet all the love and attention they deserve. I currently stay home with my 3 year old daughter full time, and taking care of our puppy is built into our daily routine. We take him for walks, run and play in the yard, and make him homemade treats. He is never left wanting for anything. We have a fantastic, dog-friendly yard, fully fenced and secure, with doggy door access into the house. If your dog requires more exercise than running in the yard, we are close to multiple walking trails we often take our pup to.
