“Samantha was amazing with my puppy Henry! She as patient and kind and kept in contact with me to update me on his status during her drop in visit! I know he’s in good hands with her during his weekly visits”

“Max is amazing! And Jackson adores him! Max recently came by for a drop in visit. He arrived on time and was able to take Jackson on a much-appreciated walk. Then he spent time playing with Jackson and giving him one of his favorite biscuits!! Max kept me updated on how things were going so I didn’t worry. Great communication. I knew Jackson was in good hands. Max is very dependable and I am so grateful that I found him. He will definitely be coming back to watch Jackson!”


About: I have had dogs since I was 3. Any time any friends and family of mine need their pets watched they ask me. During junior and senior year of high school I was enrolled in boxes for veterinary assisting where we cared for large and small animals including dogs, cats, horses, livestock, exotics, reptiles, and rodents. I am currently in college in the mornings but I am free the majority of my day. I take care of my own animals including a cat, two ferrets, a snake, and several fish. I have plenty of time to care for others as well. I will make sure every animal have under my supervision will remain safe and happy. I will ensure every house is in the same condition it was when I first entered. I will also follow instructions provided by my clients.
“Ericka was wonderful! Our cat got sick during the visit and she kept us updated with such care and concern, even offering to take him to the vet if needed. We appreciate her and will request her again!”

About: I’ve had a special love for animals that started at a young age. For years, friends and family have trusted me to feed, walk, and care for their pets while giving them plenty of love and attention. I currently have four dogs and a parrot, and I’m very comfortable caring for pets of different personalities and needs. I also previously worked at an emergency veterinary hospital as a receptionist, where I learned a lot about pet health, behavior, and the importance of following care instructions closely. I have experience caring for both cats and dogs, and I always treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care is already a big part of my daily life. I care for my own dogs every day, so feeding, walks, playtime, and routines are second nature to me. I plan my schedule to allow time for drop-in visits and make sure each pet gets my full attention during our time together. I’m reliable, organized, and flexible, and I treat every visit as a priority, not something rushed or squeezed in. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and carefully follow all instructions provided. I make sure pets stay on their usual routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any medication schedules. I give them plenty of attention and affection to help them feel comfortable while their owner is away. I also keep the home tidy and provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind.

I hope to provide great hospitality for your dog or dogs, and have them enjoy their time just as much as I would be. By letting me watch your dogs, I will make sure we all have the best time together! **I have unavailable during the week, but am available in the evenings on weekdays, there’s just no option for that on here** I have a full time job during the week.. On weekdays I am usually available on Mondays after 6pm, Tuesdays after 5pm, and Fridays after 5pm! Weekends vary, I’ll do my best to keep my calendar updated! It depends on what the client wants me to do to care for them! Making sure they go to the bathroom, hanging out with them inside, taking them for a walk, etc. overall, I like to make sure the pet(s) are getting attention and being entertained.
About: I’ve had the joy of working with animals for over 10 years, and caring for them truly makes me happiest. I’ve worked as a dog groomer, gained hands-on experience in veterinary settings, and provided pet sitting and dog walking services for so many wonderful pets and their families.

About: Hi, I’m Maya! I've had a dog for over 5 years, taught him all of his tricks, pet sit regularly for friends, and have had multiple cats throughout my life (even adopted our current cat, Taro). I have plenty of experience with dogs of many sizes and personalities at my previous doggy daycare job, where I’d supervise/care for/play with 15+ dogs at a time. My position required extensive training on dog body language, their various forms of communication, and to detect different types of illnesses. Ever since I was a child, I loved to learn about the many different breeds of cats, dogs, and other animals! As a full-time student at Suffolk CC, along with working a part-time job, my schedule on the weekdays may be a bit hectic. Please feel free to ask any questions you have, all I ask is that we work together to make things work. I’m a flexible person and will always do my best to accommodate you and your pets! I follow any requests you may have for your pet--- ensuring comfort, safety, and love for them. With my knowledge of dog body language, I’ll do my best to make sure your pup feels safe with me, and of course respect any boundaries they may have. Our homes are our safe place, as such I will guarantee total cleanliness and respect within it.

I used Dillan yesterday for my 8 week old golden retriever puppy. I was very hestinant at first as an owner of two other dogs ages 11 & 4 I never used a sitter to help out with my dogs, however Dillan make the process so easy and help ease my nerves about having someone care for my dogs. He answered my messages on a timely manner and even shared pictures and a cute video of my pup Dunkin playing in the yard. I would highly recommend Dillan to care for your pets. He also followed the many rules and expectations that I’ve asked of him I Look forward to using him on a regular basis. Overall 10/10 service.
Simone was so helpful and reliable! Our cats loved her from the start. She sent great pictures of our cats and we could tell they were in great hands. So grateful for her excellent ability with animals!! We hope she will be available for future drop in visits for our cats. Thank you so much!

I had a wonderful experience with Julia caring for my dogs and cat while I was away. From the start, she was extremely punctual and professional. She even took the time to visit beforehand to learn exactly where everything was,like the food, water bowls, and cat litter showing how committed she was to making sure everything would be perfect. During her time with my pets, Julia stayed in great communication, sending me regular updates and the cutest photos that really put my mind at ease. It was clear she genuinely cared about my animals and took her responsibility seriously. I highly recommend Julia to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring pet sitter. She truly went above and beyond!
