About: I was raised on a farm where we took care of dogs, cattle, goats and chicken. I grew up always in contact with animals, specially with my dogs that we rescued from the local shelter in Argentina. We rescued more than 8 dogs throughout my life on the farm and we still take care of them as one more on the family. I currently have a reactive catahoula pittie mix that has made incredible progress with her reactivity to other dogs with training. I love all dogs big and small and can handle anxiety reactivity or anything else they might throw at me! Im currently working part time but my schedule is very flexible, so I can accommodate my hours to walk your critter or dog at anytime. I currently do not take dogs into my own home because of my dog but am happy to walk your critter or dog sit in the comfort of their own home!
“Megan did an awesome job taking care of our cat and dog for the weekend. She was a great communicator with us and home and pets looked perfect when we came home! Will love to use her again in the future.”
“Clara did a great job with Louie. When I returned from my trip Louie looked relaxed and calm and my home was clean and tidy. I would definitely hire her again. Thank you Clara.”
“Allyson was just fantastic!! She got along great with Darwin and even sent a photo to us. She was very considerate of us and sent back and forth messages often. She is also a terrific, very capable person. Anyone who uses Allyson will be very happy.”
“Hannah always does a great job caring for our dog and keeping us updated! We can tell our dog is happy and well-loved when Hannah stays with her.”

Fill water bowl twice a day and take dogs for a walk 2-3 times per day I will care for the pet according to owner’’s requirements. Food options, walking regimens, and play time rituals. I will make it my mission to be just like the owner in your absence.
About: I’m available for home visits with dogs and cats, dog walking, and occasional house sitting. I have two wonderful dogs and grew up with cats—I truly adore animals and love spending time with them! I can take your pets for walks or jogs, change litter, feed them, and give them plenty of care and attention. I’m reliable, friendly, communicative, and very responsive. As a student, I have a relatively flexible schedule that allows me to watch pets on both weekdays and weekends, in the mornings, afternoons, or evenings. I provide attentive, loving care—feeding, walking or running with dogs, changing kitty litter or picking up after dogs, and ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy in their familiar environment.
“Jessica stayed with our dog over the July 4th weekend. She was great. She followed our directions, asked good questions, and was an excellent communicator throughout the stay. Our dog has anxiety, and Jessica was outstanding in managing him. We would hire her again in an instant.”
“Susannah was lovely to work with. She was friendly, reliable and took good care of my two senior dogs while I was away. They were in good hands and I would use her again.”
“We couldn’t be more grateful for Rachel’s care and dedication while watching our senior dog, Kaia, during our weekend trip. What truly stood out was her flexibility and commitment to ensuring Kaia was well taken care of, no matter the circumstances. Originally, we planned to return Sunday night, but a strong winter storm changed our plans. When we reached out to Rachel last-minute to ask if she could stay an extra night, she didn’t hesitate to help. With road conditions still dangerous Monday morning, we ended up extending our stay another night, knowing Kaia was in great hands. Despite the storm hitting Acton hard and making walks difficult, Rachel made sure Kaia could get outside safely and kept our home well cared for. Her reliability and willingness to adapt to unexpected challenges gave us peace of mind throughout the trip. We highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a responsible, caring, and dependable dog sitter!”
“Our pup is really anxious without us around and Wendy took the time to really get her to warm up a bit, sending us updates the whole time! Really appreciated it.”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for several decades. I've trained border collies, beagles, and some other breeds. I naturally bond with pets ever since I was a a kid. I just like being around them. I go out of my way to make sure that pets under my care are taken care of. I work from home and set my own work schedule and have a lot of flexibility to work with your schedule preferences. I am available any day of the week, and usually can set things up in with only a few hours advanced notice. When I board or walk pets, I often spend a good deal of time taking them to parks as part of my normal routine. I have a bordered back yard at my home that also works.
About: I’ve been taking care of my own pets for almost my whole life, mostly my two cats Perry and Mako, but I have experience with all sorts of animals. I pet sit for neighbors and friends all the time and have special experience distributing medicine to elderly cats, cutting nails, and keeping up with fast puppies! I’ve just finished my first year at college and I have plenty of time in the summer for looking after pets! I’m mostly available for short visits and walks throughout the day! I’m in Acton until early September, and over winter break. Safety of your pet is my number one priority, and I promise I’m extremely trustworthy when it comes to pet care. I respect the animals and your home space, taking great care to create a friendly environment for your pet!
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I grew up with pets and currently have two wonderful dogs of my own. I’ve cared for many pets within my family and circle of friends, and I genuinely love providing patient, attentive care. While I run my own Salon Suite full time, I make room during slower months to care for animals because it’s something I’m truly passionate about. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are always my priority. I’m a full-time hairdresser, but during the summer months, my schedule slows down as many clients travel. This gives me more availability to work part-time as a sitter. I’ve primarily cared for pets belonging to close friends and family, but I’m now excited to offer my services to others who need a trustworthy and caring sitter. With my flexible summer schedule and love for animals, I’m ready to provide reliable, attentive care to new furry friends. Ensuring the safety, comfort, and trust of your pets is my top priority. I personalize each experience based on your specific needs and requests. I’m very flexible with scheduling and am most comfortable providing care in your home, as I currently have two dogs of my own. This allows me to give your pets my full attention in a familiar and stress-free environment. Your peace of mind and your pet’s well-being are always at the center of my care.
