House Sitting in Boxborough

“Eric has been sitting my 3 y/o rescue Beagle, Walter, for a few months now, to help with his separation anxiety. Eric is great -- not only is he understanding and knowledgeable of Walter's special needs, such as his fear of men and new situations, among other things, he's made some very helpful suggestions that have helped with Walter's anxiety. He is trustworthy, kind and reliable, and I would highly recommend him to anyone; you can rest easy knowing your pets are under Eric's care.”

“Nikki is a miracle worker and total lifesaver!! We needed to find someone new for a full weeklong trip over thanksgiving, and we are so grateful to have found Nikki. From the first meet she was so sweet with our dogs and the bond they all formed during her stay is so special. Nikki adapted to each of their needs and won them over!! She was so attentive to my senior pups and how they managed the cold and rainy weather. She also went above and beyond to take care of our home, offering to bring in our outdoor furniture when the weather looked bad. And if all of that wasn’t enough, when our flights were cancelled and delayed a day she was able to stay an extra day relieving a ton of stress for us and the dogs. When we came home our house was cleaner than how we left it. So there’s just not enough words to say how amazing Nikki is!! She cared for our dogs and our home as though they were her own, and I know she’d do the same for anyone. We are repeat customers for life!!”

“Julie-Anne was great with our mini labradoodle! She took good care of him over the weekend and he was his happy and usual self when we got back. They got lots of walks in, she texted frequent updates and photos, and he had a great time. We're already looking forward to them staying together again!”

“Nicholas took care of our two very challenging Akita dogs, and we can't say enough of how happy we were with his housesitting. Nicholas is very responsible,has great attention to details, very patient and very calm with our dogs. Jade, our akita female could be hostile to strangers and may appear intimidating. Nicholas took the time ahead of the housesitting appointment to get to know her better, and at the end she fully trusted him. We spent our vacation knowing that our dogs are in good hands with Nicholas! We highly recommend him!”

“Cam did a great job with my anxious 3 year old pup! I’ve never seen my dog be so comfortable and at ease with a new person during a first meeting as he was with Cam. That made me feel at ease with my travel plans. Also Cam left my home nice and clean after dog sitting here for several days. I will be a return customer!”

“Tristan was fantastic with our pups and cats! It was delightful to meet him, and we felt comfortable early on having him stay in our house for a week. His communication was thoughtful & proactive, and the photos he sent of our animals let me know how normal & at ease they felt. We came home to a relaxed clean house and happy animals. We would love to have Tristan come back.”

“Traci is was great! Took amazing care of our elderly dog and our house while we were gone”

“Zhenya is the best! She pampered my pup and took great care of her while we were gone for a few days. Zhenya was also able to accommodate a change in our return flight and stay a few extra hours which I greatly appreciated. She also sent pictures of Daisy while we were away. Will definitely ask for Zhenya for our next trip! ❤️❤️❤️”

“Sam took FANTASTIC care of my needy puppy Hazel while I was away in Italy for 10 days. I was very nervous about leaving her for so long but Sam alleviated all my concerns by sending constant updates and pictures. He went above and beyond to make sure that Hazel was happy, well-exercised and socialized, and well-fed! I would absolutely recommend Sam to anyone looking for a dog sitter, and I look forward to using his services again in the future.”

“Zannah took wonderful care of our dog for four days. She updated us daily with videos and photos and took our dog on lots of walks. We didn't worry about our dog during our vacation because we knew he was getting great care!”

“Merry stayed with our Bernese mountain dog over the weekend and was fantastic. Reliable, responsible, and communicative. 10/10 would recommend.”

“Fig enjoyed having Wendy stay at the house while we were away for the weekend! We received lots of photos of them having fun - thanks for taking care of our fur baby!”

“Rachel is really wonderful and so great with dogs! My puppy has some separation anxiety issues but Rachel was able to put her at ease, I highly recommend her to anyone!!”

“Shye took really good care of my cats, and was very communicative. I came home to happy cats, a very clean home, and living plants! She was very professional and easy to work with. I’d happily have her catsit again.”

“Tia is awesome!! She and our dogs got along great. We had easy communication and received daily messages with photos about their daily activities together. Tia even did some training with Gracie. Also, the house was immaculate. Tia is very sweet, clearly loves dogs and she was committed to doing a wonderful job while we were on vacation.”

“Sam took wonderful care of our 2 dogs that both required medication and extra attention. She kept in close contact with us throughout our time away. We lost power for a stretch and she took this in stride and kept us up to date on the dogs and the house. We will definitely plan to have Sam come look after the dogs again.”

About: Ever since I was a child, I’ve had a passion for animals, specifically dogs. Since I was never allowed to own one as a kid, I’ve treated friends’ and family dogs as my own. I have extensive experience working with pets, including part-time dog walking, pet sitting for my aunt’s 4 cats. I also have experience working as a Certified Veterinary Technician in small animal hospitals, including Angell in Boston, over the past few years. I’m always punctual, detail oriented, reliable, and a team player at heart! I’m currently available Monday-Friday for daytime walks, pet sitting, and drop in visits as needed. I’m flexible on my availability, but I would prefer to work morning to late afternoon shifts. I’m also available on occasional weekends to walk your furry friend or pet sit at clients’ homes. I am also available to do overnight stays occasionally. In a client’s home, I help nurture the environment the pet is accustomed to, using familiar toys to play with dogs or cats. I also pay close attention to feeding schedules through out the day and ensure there is plenty of time to spend outdoors in the backyard for fresh air, bathroom breaks and more play time (frisbee, fetch with tennis balls, etc.)

“Adrienn was such a great sitter for our anxious pup. She gave him all the love and comfort we needed while we were away for the weekend. She provided the perfect level of communication - including photos and updates. We will definitely be requesting her services again!”

“Alexandra has always been a loving pet caregiver. She takes great care of my pup and treats him with so much love and attention. I felt so relieved knowing my pet was in such good hands. Highly recommend Alexandra for anyone looking for a trustworthy pet caregiver on Rover.”

About: I love dogs! Have been around them all my life. Dogs are more than a pet, they are a part of your family! Like any family member you give them as much love and care as possible. I believe if you give a dog attention, exercise, and a few good meals it will be a happy dog! My schedule is very flexible. I’m an early riser so available from 6 am to around 3 or 4 pm. Also available weekends. I currently have been walking a dog for the past year and half for five days a week. And have bonded with him in a way which I thought I never would. It’s so rewarding seeing him run around in circles all excited to see me and ready to go for his walk!!
