“My first time working with Camille, all I can say was she did a terrific job looking after my tortie kitty. She was timely with her visits, wrote comments about every visit, and handled every duty around the house we had agreed upon. Camille is a real Pro, the best I have worked with.”
“Sophie did an absolutely wonderful job with our cats while we were gone!! Not only did she perfectly handle feeding, litter boxes, and giving attention, she expertly took care of medications for two of ours kitties and notified us of/fixed some small issues (slow drain) as well. Daily updates with stories and photos were very much appreciated!! We will definitely use her services again and highly recommend her to anyone in need of pet sitting and care!! Thank you again, Sophie!! ☺️😽”
“Jessica watched and fed our two cats while we were away and she was great! She gave us updates, photos, and had great communication. Came home to two happy and healthy kitties :) would def book again. Thank you, Jessica!”
“Gabriella is wonderful, reliable, and kind. I was so worried about leaving our kittyboi for several days, because he needs heart medicine twice a day, and drinks running water from the sink. She made it all work out perfectly on a busy holiday weekend and sent regular updates, to assure me he was ok 🩷”
“Riley was great and paid special attention to our cat less than a week after he had a medical procedure. She provided updates and made sure he got the attention and love that he needed while my kids and I were gone. I would 100% recommend and look forward to future bookings!!”

About: I have a dog named Honey and Coco who get along with all Dogs! Together they are a great team. They are loving, sweet and energetic. They love making friends. Also open to walking your pup alone. I am flexible and available for your pet needs, accept last minute requests! I know your pet is your baby and I promise your pet will be in good hands! I follow instructions and keep owners updated via messaging and photos. I am able to provide care in your home or walking in the neighborhood.
About: Hi, I’m Emily. I grew up with all kinds of pets and have always had animals in my life, so taking care of them just comes naturally to me. I’m starting school for radiology in September, so my schedule is pretty open right now and I’d love to help however I can. I’ve taken care of pets for family, friends, and neighbors for years, and I genuinely love being around animals. I’m reliable, patient, and careful to follow any instructions exactly as given. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities—whether they’re energetic, shy, or need a little extra care. I’m also respectful of your space and always aim to leave your home just as I found it. Communication is important to me, and I’ll always keep you updated so you feel at ease while you’re away. I have a very flexible schedule right now with full availability during the week and weekends, which allows me to focus on providing reliable pet care. Once I begin school this fall, I’ll continue to offer care on evenings and weekends. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or some one-on-one attention, I’m happy to help when you need it. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your pets in someone else’s care. I’m a pet owner myself and have animals at home, so I truly understand how much they mean to you. I always make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I follow instructions carefully, stick to routines, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m also respectful of your home and aim to make the whole process as easy and stress-free as possible for both you and your pets.
“Alyssa was a great sitter, she followed all directions to the T. She kept us updated with plenty of pictures of our fur babies! 10 out of 10 would definitely recommend ,thank you Alyssa for everything!🫶🏾”
About: Animals of all shapes and sizes hold a special place in my heart and I try to do everything imaginable to give them the happiest life they deserve. I have previously watched family friends dogs, some with special needs and have been asked back time and time again. I take my responsibilities very seriously when caring for other people’s pets and will treat them as if they are my own! I am working on my own home-based bakery (I make pup cakes too!) and just love being able to help wherever possible! Your pet will be given everything they need to live the happiest life!! I currently work full time at a local daycare 7-4 and typically have my weekends mostly free. Sometimes I have bakery events here and there but can always make room for a few drop ins here and there! I can adapt very well to whatever your animals are used to! I know my pets are very used to a schedule and it’s always easiest to keep on that schedule!
“Maya was a great fit for my dogs. She knew I was in a bind so she helped out even though I lived out of the range she usually drives to take care of Whiskey and Pebbles. Thank you Maya Denise”
About: I am generally not afraid of dogs, being able walk, run, and play with a dog always brightens my day. I use to take care of puppies and adult dogs in my spare time after school and I would make sure to feed them, take them out for walks, play with them and pick up after them when needed. I am not working right now so looking after a dog is a good way to pass the time for me, not mention being out of the house and getting a decent amount of exercise. I will take great responsibility in taking care any dog that is under my care, I'll respect the owners rules and do my best to satisfy the customer and their needs
“Jordyn was amazing! She took great care of our cat, sent us pictures daily and was very sweet. She took looked after our house & left it very clean for us to return to. I felt very comfortable knowing she was taking care of our house & our buddy. Definitely recommend booking with Jordyn.”
About: Hello! I am passionate about all animals and know how important good quality pet care is. I used to walk dogs in Boston and have a lot of experience in this area. I have owned dogs all my life and consider myself very experienced with different breeds and sizes. I will also accept dog walking and drop in visits for puppies that are learning how to be trained as well as being available to give medication if they need it. While your dog is being walked or sat by me, they will be treated as I would treat my own dog, as I want them to feel as comfortable as possible. Please rest assured that your dog will be cared for and will have a fun time while in my care! I am currently not working, so I am flexible in my schedule in providing care. The care for your pet can be customizeable to them. I will care for your pets like they are my own! I will also communicate with you so you can feel comfortable in knowing they are okay.

“Emily exceeded our expectations! She was incredibly kind and attentive, and our energetic red-nosed pitbull took to her instantly. During our week away, we felt completely at ease knowing she was there. Our dog typically struggles with separation, so having someone stay overnight made all the difference in his comfort. Emily even took the time to meet him beforehand, which reassured us that she would be a perfect match. It was clear our dog adored her!”
