“Chelsea really helped us out with a last minute booking for a dog walk and drop-in. The dogs seem to have really enjoyed her and she communicated well with us. We would definitely book Chelsea again for a drop-in!”
“Once again, Darnell did a fabulous job taking care of our senior kitty Gus. Darnell was very professional, sent us lots of photos, and gave us a thorough message with each visit. We knew we left our home and kitty in good hands--and came home to a well-fed, happy kitty. We have loved working with Darnell and would absolutely hire him anytime for cat care!”
“Ben and Laura are great! They took excellent care of Lemon and were perfectly respectable towards our property. It was a delight seeing how excited Lemon was to see them come by for their last visit. Who knew her tail could shake so fast?!”
About: With years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and energy levels, I provide thoughtful, personalized care that goes beyond just feeding and walking. From spirited puppies to mellow senior cats, I’ve supported animals through every life stage—with plenty of love, patience, and play along the way. I’m confident handling multiple pets, giving medications (including oral and topical), and creating calm environments for anxious animals. I’ve worked with high-energy dogs who need structured adventure walks, and I’ve soothed shy rescue cats who just need quiet companionship and gentle care. My own life is full of furry friends, and I truly treat every pet like family. Whether your companion needs a hiking buddy, a cozy lap to nap on, or a sitter who takes litter box duties seriously—I’ve got you covered. As a homeschool mom who works from home, caring for pets fits seamlessly into my daily rhythm. Our days are structured but flexible, which means your pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and consistent care throughout the day. Whether it’s taking a dog on a midday adventure walk or giving a cat some quiet companionship while I work, your pet becomes part of our loving, pet-friendly home environment. My kids are gentle and respectful animal lovers, so there’s always someone nearby ready to offer an extra cuddle or throw a toy. Because I'm home most of the time, I’m able to give pets a calm, consistent presence—perfect for those who get anxious when their humans are away. Pet care isn’t a side gig—it’s part of our family’s lifestyle. I provide loving and attentive care in your pet’s own environment, helping them feel safe and comfortable while you're away. Whether it’s regular walks, playtime, or giving medications, I follow your pet’s routine to ensure consistency and minimize stress. I’m also happy to clean up after them, including litter boxes or any messes, to keep their space tidy and calm. During my visits, I focus on creating a nurturing, stress-free atmosphere for your pet. I’ll send you updates and pictures, so you can rest easy knowing your pet is in great hands. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, or extra cuddles, I’m dedicated to providing the best care, right in the comfort of your home.
“Emily is exactly what I want a pet sitter to be. She asked questions, followed instructions, and gave our boys comfort, along with the necessities, while we were gone. Takes an extra worry off when traveling to know our furry family is safe and loved. Highly recommend. Thanks Emily!”
About: My mother is a veterinarian with her own practice, so I grew up around an abundance of animals and know plenty about caring for them. My career allows me to choose my own schedule, I don't usually have shifts longer than 5/6 hours long. This allows me to take dogs out for walks or to a dog park, or I can just go home and hang out with my cat. I have a large fenced in yard with access to woods, plenty of local trails for dog walks, local lake of your dog likes to swim. Dogs and cats in my home, but there's a good sized guest bedroom that is kept closed of from the rest of my home if you have a pet that is less friendly with others.
“Lillian was an amazing and attentive cat sitter! She completed the daily drop ins and played with my cat and gave her lots of love. My cat can get really anxious when she's left alone but when I came back home she was at ease and happy. I am so thrilled with the care she got from Lillian!”
“Abby is quick to respond and is a great communicator. We had a meet and greet before my time away, she met my 3 cats and learned their routine and listened to my care instructions. I got messages and pictures daily. I came home to a clean apartment. She went above and beyond. She took out my trash and swept up around the litter robot. This made my arrival home after 13 hours of travel easy and a relief! She was diligent to make sure the litter robot had enough litter, the water drinking fountain had enough water and my kitties got play time. My pets and home were in great hands. I highly recommend Abby for any pet sitting needs.”
“5 stars. Mia took care of our chickens for over two weeks during an extended trip. She was very communicative with the daily check ins and also very reliable, we felt the chickens were in good care while we were gone. She did an emergency check in when needed which we were extremely appreciative of. Book Mia with confidence in leaving your chickens or pets in her care. She was friendly, thoughtful and seems to have a natural fondness for animals. Thanks Mia!”
“Emily-Claire answered immediately and was very responsive from the first text, to coming for a visit, and throughout our entire vacation. We got many pictures and updates, and it was great to know that our cat Charlie was well taken care of. Will definitely ask her again when we plan our next trip! Thank you!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have been caring for them since I was a young girl. They’ve always been a part of my family, so I’m comfortable with everything from dog walking to pet sitting, feeding, and even bathing. Whether it's playing with puppies or giving extra attention to senior dogs, I want to make sure each pet feels comfortable and loved. My schedule is pretty flexible! During the week, I’m available after 5 pm, mostly for dog walks. On weekends, I’m free all day and can help with dog walking, pet sitting, house sitting, or whatever your pet needs. I don’t have any dogs at home right now, but your dog will be treated like part of the family! I focus on creating a safe and comfortable environment where your dog can relax, play, and enjoy their time. I make sure to follow your pet’s routine and give them the love and attention they deserve.
About: Hello! I started boarding for Rover when I was at Northeastern University and met so many amazing pups and owners! It's so fun to have a companion to bring with you on outings, swimming, and hiking. I honestly think joining Rover is one of the best decisions I've made! In June 2020 I finally adopted a puppy of my own, Rhubarb! She's very friendly and loves playing with other dogs and cats. I'm excited to be offering pet care services again, and think that Rhubarb will be a great companion to any pet who might stay with us. I’m also happy to take plenty of pictures so you can know that your pet is happy and healthy while you're away. Feel free to read my reviews to learn a little more about my experience and style. Thanks for reading and let me know if you have any questions! I work full-time out of the home so they would have to be comfortable staying home alone with my dog for up to 8 hrs if the stay included weekdays. My boyfriend and I have a spacious apartment with plenty of green space outside. We consider dogs members of our family so we allow them on furniture and give them plenty of attention.

Olive T.
“Olive is my go-to dog and cat sitter. I have two Labrador Retrievers and two Maine Coon cats. My labs love her--she stays overnight (and lets the dogs cuddle in bed with her, which is their preference), walks the dogs, plays with them, and feeds the dogs and cats according to schedule. Olive's mother is my vet--which leaves me to believe that Olive knows how to manage and handle dogs by osmosis! She is very dependable, leaves my home tidier than it was when I left, and communicates with me (texts and photos) while I am away.”
