“Daniel was amazing when I needed him to drop-in to care for a sick puppy. I reached out to him the day before. And he was flexible and willing to help right away.”
2. Ash T.
“Ash, did a great job on a short notice. I'd recommend anyone looking for a trustworthy animal lover to watch their dog to call him.”
3. Lauren F.

6. Emily E.
“Emily was great!! She went above and beyond, offering to make an extra visit for our reluctant girl Aurora when she wouldn’t come out of her crate! Spent time with cats as well and checked on them even though she was there mainly for the dog. Thank you!! Would definitely reach out again!”
7. Joshua B.
“I am so happy to have found Josh! In a very short amount of time, Josh has built a connection with Keaton and I haven’t witnessed Keaton being so comfortable and calm in someone else’s presence as he is with Josh. Today I watched them play “keep away”! That is HUGE for Keaton, who is cautious by nature, to allow someone to chase after him around the yard! It’s Josh’s calm energy, patience and kindness that is winning over my complicated elder gent. I highly recommend Josh and we are so very grateful to have found him!”
8. Hannah N.
About: I’ve been a veterinary assistant for a year, and I’ve pet sat for many. I’m currently studying animal science at UMass Amherst as I work to become a veterinarian. I have a very open class schedule on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, so I have plenty of free time to spend walking and caring for your dogs! I like to build trust with the pets I take care of before doing anything else. I let them sniff their sniffs and investigate anything they want before petting them or trying to put them on a leash.
9. Kristina M.
“Kristina seems to really enjoy keeping our cats company and takes very good photos our pets. We came back today and they seem happy and healthy.”
10. Catherine S.
“Catherine is amazing! She has taken care of our cat twice and both times has been so thoughtful and kind. She not only makes sure he is fed but also gives him plenty of interaction and play time. Always sends great updates and photos and has managed his medication with ease. Very responsible, easy to communicate with, and proactive. Highly recommend!”
11. Sunny N.
“Sunny was awesome! They were communicative, accommodating, and took excellent care of our cat. We arrived home to a happy, healthy kitty! Thank you, Sunny!”
12. Bree M.
“Bree did an amazing job with Chuck. She was very prompt and communicative. She even bought some dry food when Chuck's ran out! We will definitely ask her to catsit again.”
13. Anthony V.
“Anthony has grown up around dogs since little. From French bulldog to cane corso he has shown patience, and the ability to learn about the breeds separately. Knows how to have fun and play yet keep control of the situation.”
14. Zan M.
“Zan was an excellent sitter for my orange kitty Louis! Zan visited my kitty every day to give him fresh food and water and spend some quality time with him. My cat likes to take walks on his leash, which Zan was able to do with him too! Louis also takes a daily medication, and Zan was able to give him regularly with ease. Louis was so happy to have a good friend like Zan stop by every day; he was calm and very happy when I got back! Zan also sent some great pictures of Louis while I was away, so it was like I never left :)”

“Derek got along great with Violet and was very easy to work with!”
16. Jaclyn P.
“I have been using Jaclyn as a petsitter for over a year now. She is sweet, attentive and treats my fur babies as hers. I have a mix of dogs and cats and even dart frogs. Dart frogs need to eat live fruit flies and she had no problems giving them their food while I was a way for a week. My senior dog is on medications and while on one vacation she even drove to the vet 1/2 hour away to pick up more medications for him. I have a new puppy and she has been so helpful. I’m so happy I finally found a good sitter!”
17. Taylor h.
“Taylor is so great and I’m so happy I found her! She is super responsive and has been a huge help with little notice, and I know our pup June is in good hands with her.”
18. Jasmine D.
“Jasmine’s thoughtful care and attention towards our two cats is amazing. She sent detailed updates after every visit that put my anxious cat mom brain fully at ease! Jasmine went above and beyond to make sure our cats had everything they need. Your fur babies are in the BEST hands with Jasmine!”
19. Lukas R.
“Lukas did an incredible job taking care of our fur babies! Took the time to get to know them and care for them in the ways they needed and preferred. Especially our dog who is a special needs rescue. The pets were in such good spirits when we returned home from our vacation. Would definitely hire Lukas again? 10 stars!!”
20. Emily W.
“Emily did a great job dropping in on our high needs dog. She was flexible, communicative and very kind with our traumatized baby. We'd definitely work with her again!”
