Pet Sitting Allerton

About: I grew up taking care of cats, and my current cat, Sookie, is 18 years old! My love for dogs runs just as deep. I have been dog sitting for over 15 years and recently joined my local animal shelter as a canine volunteer, where I am also currently fostering. I have a special place in my heart for senior pets. Caring for Sookie into her golden years has given me firsthand experience with the patience, attentiveness, and extra love that older animals need. Senior pet owners can feel confident their companions will be treated with the gentleness and respect they deserve. I am experienced administering cat medications including inhalers, injections, pills, and liquids via syringe, and have experience giving dogs pill medications as well. Your pets are in capable, caring hands. I am currently working remote part-time so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether it's a one-off snuggle while you're away or a regular walking buddy to ensure your bestie is getting their steps in, I'm happy to discuss your pets' needs and availability. In my experience, pets are most comfortable in their own space so I am happy to care for them in their home. I follow the owner's routines, gladly provide updates with photos, and will treat your home with the same care I would my own. My home is calm and pet-friendly. I have a senior cat who has full reign of the second floor upstairs. Blocked by a gate, I can host pets downstairs with limited or full reign of the first floor. NOTE: At this time, I am fostering a shelter dog in our downstairs first floor space and will not be able to host your furry friends in my home overnight.

I also have three years of studying zoology at the University of New Hampshire. I have a very flexible schedule and I can likely make any time or day work to look after your pet as long as I am not already booked! I do not provide pet care in my own home but I will follow any instructions given to me very carefully and ensure both your pet and your home are carefully looked after! The safety of your pets are my priority and would be happy to provide any pictures of them you would like while you are away!

About: Hi there! I have 2 dogs of my own - a 2 year old Shih Tzu/Cockapoo mix and a 4 month old Havapoo.

About: Finding someone you trust with your pet is a big decision, so I focus on providing safe, reliable, and compassionate care every time. I’ve spent over 10 years working with animals in a variety of professional settings, including as a dog groomer, and at an animal hospital. Those experiences have taught me how to safely handle dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels, while also recognizing when something doesn’t seem quite right. Whether your dog loves long walks, prefers to stop and sniff every tree, or just needs a little extra patience, I’ll make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and treated like one of my own. I understand that every pet is different, and I take the time to get to know what makes yours happiest. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and believe communication is just as important as great pet care. You can expect plenty of updates and photos from me! I know our pets are family, and my goal is to make every walk a positive, stress-free experience for both you and your dog. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged best friend! I’m currently a full-time student, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the week. Since my classes are planned in advance, I can easily work around them to provide reliable walks and visits. I enjoy being active, so spending time with dogs fits naturally into my routine. Whether your pet needs a midday walk, an evening outing, or care while you’re at work, I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that meets your needs. Your dog’s safety will always be my top priority. With over 10 years of experience, I’m comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’ll use safe leash-handling practices, stay aware of our surroundings, and always treat your dog with patience and care. I’ll also keep you updated after each walk, so you can feel confident your pup is in good hands.

About: My husband and I have been doing Rover for 5+ years! I’m a teacher, so I’m away during the day, but my husband works from home full-time. I also have grooming experience and know all kinds of dog behaviors. Our dog is friendly but has high anxiety, so we require a meet & greet for boarding/daycare. Walks don’t need one. We treat every pup like family! I am a teacher and not around during the day but my fiance works from home FT! Not only do you have one person caring for your dog, but TWO! There is a lot of yard space right behind my apartment. I care for your animals as I care for my own, maybe will sometimes spoil them too!

“While I was away on vacation, Kat took care of my cats and did a spectacular job! Upon meeting Kat, both Mason and KiKi loved her immediately and felt comfortable with her which put me at ease. She is very courteous, accommodating, and flexible given my hectic work schedule. I could tell she took care of them very well since they seemed very relaxed when I came home—other cat sitters have left my cats feeling anxious and are very fearful when I get home—this wasn’t the case with Kat! She went above and beyond and cleaned the pet cans and some unexpected vomit that occurred during my vacation. Overall, I highly recommend Kat and will use her as a cat sitter again!”

“Christina helped us with a drop-in visit on very short notice, leaving us three very happy dogs. She showed a quick understanding of their unique personalities, and gave us a nice summary of all their activities, including photos.”

“Thank you Colleen for taking care of our Caesar while we traveled for the weekend! She made sure he went on walks, sent photos and was very kind to him.”

About: My partner (Henry) and I love to watch dogs together! We have been surrounded by dogs our whole lives, from small picky eaters to large dogs that can run for miles. Growing up around dogs, we know that they are all different and respond to new people differently, but we have had positive experiences in taking care of family’s, neighbors’, and friends’ dogs in the past and have a ton of energy to do so. We love spending time outside and with dogs and have dog-sat before, including experiences wherein we did not stay in the owners’ home, but visited frequently to walk and feed their dog, and we have dog sat in our own home, so we are comfortable with adapting our services to any of your needs. We both have hybrid work situations, so one of us is always working from home at any given time and are used to being flexible with a pet’s schedule. We take care of pets like they are our own, in the past when we have boarded dogs in our home we have adapted to what the pet is and is not allowed to do (ie sleeping in the bedroom or not etc.)

“Mindy did an amazing job watching my sweet girl Ivy! She would come over once a day to scoop her litter box, refill her food and water, and spend some quality time playing with her! I enjoy how she brings her own camera as well to keep an eye on things while she is not there - it shows how much she cares! Ivy really enjoyed Mindy’s company and was very well taken care of!!”

About: I have been walking and dog sitting since I was 14 years old. I love all kinds of dogs, big and small! There isn’t a time I won’t stop and ask someone if I can pet their dog while walking past on the street. Over the past 6 years I have done frequent dog sitting within each dog’s home. I love getting to stay where the dog is already comfortable and they are able to stay within a familiar environment! I absolutely love getting to know each and every dog’s personality and matching their energy. Whether it is a super active hyper pup, or a chill and laid back older pup, I have worked with many different personalities and needs and I will meet them where they need me to be! I am physically able to keep up with high energy dogs, you name it I can keep up with it. Connecting with a dog is one of the greatest feelings and I have developed a bond with each dog that I have cared for and love them as if they are my own! I currently live in South Boston and work at a school in Dedham Monday–Friday from 7:30 AM–3:30 PM. Because of my work schedule, I’m mainly available for occasional dog walks, drop-ins, and dog sitting when my schedule allows. I’m also happy to care for dogs in my South Boston apartment or stay with them in their own home, depending on what works best for you and your pup! I absolutely love having dogs at my apartment and would be happy to give them lots of attention, walks, and companionship outside of my school hours. I’m also open to working with owners who are comfortable with my schedule and am always happy to communicate ahead of time to make sure I can give your dog the time and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priority! I will follow their usual routine as provided and ensure that they are feeling cared for and safe. I will spend quality time playing, cuddling, or simply being present with your pet to help reduce any stress of you being away from them. I will take your dog for their usual walks and follow any specific instructions regarding your pets limitations or needs/energy level/desired walking distance. Follow specific feeding instructions as well as refreshing water when needed. I love to send updates and photos of the pet if the owner would like that! I also make it a point to monitor the pet closely to recognize any changes in behavior or ability, and get in touch with the appropriate contact immediately. If staying at your home I can also bring in mail/water plants/follow other home instructions if desired!
