Amazing experience!! Took Sadie for a much longer walk (thank you soooo much). Did a group walk w/ two other dogs which is great for her to socialize since she thinks she’s queen bee. She’s certainly going to sleep well tonight! Thanks again :)

Catherine is a patient, attentive, and diligent person. These attributes have allowed her to be an exceptional caretaker to her own French bulldog and pets of friends and family members. With her own frenchie, she has been patient during the crate, pee pad, and walking learning process, attentive to dog behavior, and diligent with rewarding good behavior and redirecting unhealthy ones to foster positive and loving environment. Additionally, she is caring with pets and respects and honors the standards set by owners.

Shayna was responsive & communicative from start to finish! She was kind enough to video chat with us before walking our dog, and asked a lot of great questions to make sure we felt safe with her entering our home & taking care of Gracie. The report card was super thorough & had a lot of great pictures of Gracie clearly having a wonderful time. We will definitely use her again! :)

May is the best! Incredibly communicative, safe, organized, and sweet with my pup. She sent tons of videos and took Junie on an extra long walk. I have already re-booked and Junie can't wait to see May again.

Chad was great! They met our dog Clover on the same day as they had their first walk and she was immediately at ease. She can sometimes be skiddish and wary of new people and situations, but she loved Chad right away. We love that Chad lives close and will take Clover on walks to the Boston Commons to see all the flowers and people watch. She's more of a human than a dog, in my opinion, and she really loves time with her trusted people just chilling in the sun. Thanks so much for being her new friend, Chad!

I've never know anybody to love and adore pets as much as Claire does. She's such a kind and caring person and these traits are amplified when it comes to looking after pets! There's nobody I'd trust more than Claire to look after my dog, I know she would take pride in looking after her and making sure she had the best time!!

About: Experience: 🐶 Canine Companionship: I've had the pleasure of sharing my life with dogs of various breeds and sizes. From playful pups to wise seniors, I've enjoyed every moment of building lasting bonds with our canine friends. 🐱 Kitten Expertise: Adopting several kittens has given me hands-on experience with the unique energy and needs of our feline friends. Whether it's playtime, feeding, or providing a cozy spot for a catnap, I've got it covered. Specialty: Senior Pet Care One area where I truly shine is in caring for our senior pets. I've taken on the responsibility of looking after numerous senior dogs for family members, ensuring they receive the extra attention, care, and patience they deserve. From administering medications to creating a comfortable environment, I understand the nuances of senior pet care. What Sets Me Apart: 🤗 Personalized Care: I believe in tailoring my care to meet the individual needs and preferences of each pet. Whether it's a favorite game or a particular treat, I strive to make your pet feel right at home. 🏡 Home Away from Home: My space is pet-friendly, offering a safe and welcoming environment for your furry friends. They'll be treated like part of the family, receiving the love and attention they deserve. I'm currently working from home, have a very flexible schedule, and am located in downtown Boston. I am open to multiple visits per day, drop ins, or short (or long) walks. In My Home: Designated Pet Area: Create a comfortable and safe space for your pet within your home, equipped with bedding, toys, and necessary essentials. Regular Exercise: Ensure daily walks, playtime, or interactive activities to keep your pet physically and mentally stimulated. Nutritious Meals: Provide a balanced and appropriate diet for your pet's age, size, and health needs. Regular Vet Visits: Schedule routine veterinary check-ups to monitor your pet's health and address any concerns promptly. In Your Home (Pet Sitting): Meet and Greet: Prior to the pet-sitting period, meet your pet to establish familiarity and discuss specific care instructions. Follow Your Routine: Stick to the pet's usual schedule for feeding, walks, and playtime to maintain a sense of normalcy. Communication: Keep open communication with you, providing updates and photos/videos to assure them that their pet is in good hands. Emergency Preparedness: I like to stay aware of emergency contacts, veterinary information, and any special instructions in case unexpected situations arise.
