Cat Sitting Arlington

“Selina is a bit shy but she always comes out of her shell with Dave. She clearly appreciates his company when we're out of town. Dave sends pictures every day so we can see how she's faring and it's such a comfort to see her at ease.”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs and getting to know their unique personalities. Whether we’re heading out for a walk, hanging out at home, or spending a few days together while you’re away, I want your dog to feel happy, comfortable, and loved. When your dog stays with me, they’re my one and only boarding guest! I only board one dog at a time, so they get plenty of individual attention in a relaxed, home environment. I also work from home, which means I’m around almost all day for companionship, walks, playtime, or just hanging out together. I know every dog is different, and I’m happy to adjust to their routines, energy levels, and little quirks. I’m especially patient with dogs who are shy or need a little extra reassurance. I’m reliable, flexible, and always happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you know how things are going. My goal is simple: happy dogs and owners who can relax knowing their pups are in good hands! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available for walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with pets throughout the day. As a single mom 50% of the time, my schedule is particularly flexible on my child-free days. I also love being outdoors, so getting outside for walks and exercise with pets is something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to. I believe every pet is happiest when their routine stays as consistent as possible. In my clients' homes, I follow their pet's normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and lots of attention. I take time to get to know each pet's personality so they feel comfortable and cared for while their owner is away. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, calm environment with plenty of supervision, exercise, and affection. Whether a pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quieter approach, I tailor my care to their individual needs and treat them like part of the family.

About: I have had animals all of my life- cats, dogs, guinea pigs, fish, newts, frogs, hamsters gerbils, parakeets and even an ant farm at one point! I have helped pet sit for other people and my daughter also does pet sitting. I have been a nurse for 37 years and I also volunteer at Nevin's Farm weekly. I know how important it is to have a reliable person to check on your animals while you are away or just at work. I would like to expand what I do and be that person for you. I work at the hospital three times a week and on my off days I am available to come check your pet, give them potty breaks, feed them, whatever they need to make them comfortable while you are not there. Sometimes my days might vary but hopefully a routine could be established that suits us both. I am happy to go by any instructions you leave for your pet - where they are allowed to go or be, what you want me to put out for them for food or water, etc... Just let me know because I want to keep their routine and environment the same as if you were there in that moment. I would like to think that if my animals could talk they would give me high marks for all I do for them to keep them clean/cared for/walked. I think they are happy with me!!! But I guess I do something right as my friends and family always call me for advice or when they want to adopt and say "Where should I go? What do I need? Is this a good choice? Will you go with me?" So I take these asks as good compliments.

“Sarah was wonderful with my old dog. She was affectionate and thoughtful. I would love to have Sarah come again for dogsitting or dogwalking! Thank you Sarah!”

“Natalie was wonderful, very respectful, communicative and provided periodic updates of our cat for us! She is stellar at what she does and I can't wait to book her for our future travels, I had absolutely no stress knowing she was taking care of my cat! :)”

About: Hello! I am Jack. I am in North Cambridge in a private house with a private yard. Please read my reviews. I will treat your pet like my child. You will not have to worry at all. Again I live alone with no pets. My passion and love of animals began in my childhood taking care of my family's pets. We had cats and dogs galore. Now as a grown man I drive Uber and do my art on the side so I have plenty of time for your pet. I love going for walks and exploring nature with them. When your pet is with me, you can trust they’re in good hands. I’m always ready to travel where needed, even on short notice. My goal is to give you peace of mind by ensuring pets are in a safe and loving environment while you’re away. My love and care is tailored to each pet's unique needs. I wake up wanting to love something so why not your pet? Every day your dog will be filled with care, attention, and most importantly love. While I enjoy my morning coffee, your dog gets a tasty breakfast. This sets the stage for a day of fun and relaxation. Once energized, we head out for a refreshing walk tailored to your dog’s needs. Peaceful strolls around the neighborhood or exciting visits to the dog park. If you're comfortable, I encourage social interaction with other dogs, always prioritizing your dog’s safety. I remain attentive to their well-being and follow your guidance on socializing. With love and attention! Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. When we’re together, you can trust that your furry friend will be in a secure, nurturing environment. We’ll go for enjoyable walks, exploring the neighborhood while ensuring your dog is always safe and happy. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll or some fun playtime, I make sure your dog enjoys every moment.After our walks, we’ll unwind together in a calm, cozy setting. Whether that means curling up on the couch to watch TV, lounging in the yard, or sitting under a tree to enjoy the fresh air, I’m all about creating a peaceful atmosphere where your dog can relax and feel at ease.I believe that quality time is about more than just activity; it’s also about those quiet moments of companionship that dogs cherish. I’m committed to making sure your dog feels love.

“We had a great experience with Ava and highly recommend her. She offered a meet and greet, was always responsive to messages, and regularly sent pictures and updates, which gave us real peace of mind. Most importantly, she truly loves cats, and it shows. We came home to a happy, relaxed cat — we’ll definitely book her again!”

“We are SO lucky to have found Kate on Rover! This was our first time working with her, and we couldn’t be happier!! Our cat absolutely LOVED her company and looked so happy and comfortable with Kate. We received lots of thoughtful updates, pictures, and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing our cat was well loved and in great hands. Kate is incredibly thoughtful, kind, and attentive. We came home to a happy cat and a super clean home! We really appreciate you, Kate, and cannot recommend her enough to anyone looking for a wonderful cat sitter!”

“Jordan was truly wonderful! She took excellent care of our kitty and we completely trusted her with a complicated feeding schedule. She also went above and beyond keeping our home and the food area clean and tidy. Would highly recommend!”

About: Hello! I am a lifelong animal lover and pet parent. I grew up with two wonderful big dogs and many, many cats. Compassionate care and play with animals is central to my life. When I lived abroad on fellowship in Indonesia, I devoted my free time to caring for a colony of feral cats, taking them to the vet, building shelters, and supplying their food. Now that I am stateside and newly graduated from Harvard Divinity School, I am excited to reenter the world of animal care. I am comfortable walking dogs of all ages and sizes, and am more than willing to match their pace and let them take the lead onto their favorite routes. When interacting with dogs, I make sure to practice patience and compassion, and will give them as much love or space as they need. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with questions or for more information! I am looking forward to connecting ☺️ I am in grad school and work part time, so early mornings or evenings work best for me! If it works for you, I would also be very open to doing readings and writing papers while keeping your pet company :) I am a firm believer in boundaries and will respect your pets’ needs for space when needed. I also understand that some pets need a lot of play and am happy to oblige! I am more than willing to work with what is best for you and do my best to exceed your expectations.

About: I have grown up around animals my entire life, making me very comfortable with all pets. With my experience, I feel comfortable keeping up with feeding schedules, refreshing water, administering medications, and providing adequate exercise! I am an active person, so I'm happy to walk, hike, or even run with your furry friend! I consider myself a true animal lover, and I feel my strength is to be able to connect with each dog-and loving on your pet will never be a problem. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident your cat is happy and well cared for. Currently, I work mostly from home which means that I have the flexibility to fit most schedules for pet-sitting, drop-ins, and walking-including last minute availability! I am organized and punctual to adhere to schedules, and I also have reliable transportation to get to/from jobs. I have reliable transportation to be able to come to you! I hope to build a trusting relationship with every client, pet and family included, and I feel that starts with a foundation of respect, responsbility, and genuine care! We all want to keep our furry friends happy and cared for, and I want to be a part of that!

“Thomas provided excellent care for our cat and home! We are so grateful for you Thomas! I would recommend him to anyone that was seeking an attentive and considerate pet caregiver. We would love to have you care for Elvie again!”

About: Hi! I’ve been living and taking care of animals since I was a kid. I have always loved, connecting with dogs and cats. For at least the past decade, I have walked, fed, and stayed overnight with neighbors’ animals, so I’m well versed in the responsibilities of caring for furry friends! I also took care of my elderly dog for many years before she passed at 16, so I know how to help make older dogs feel comfortable. I truly believe all animals deserve loving attention, and I can’t wait to help care for yours. :) I am a student and work part time in Somerville. My availability is very flexible, and I can also easily adjust my schedule to fit your needs. I spend lots of time outside, so I am eager to walk dogs/play outside with them, and take care of your pets! I have a fenced in patio/backyard. I live on the upper unit of my house, but there is A/C to cool off the animals on a hot day.

About: My experience with animals is 10+ years. I currently have six reptiles including a snake and I have a black lab named Raven and some bettas, too. Other experience includes veterinary internships with hands-on experience, I worked at a farm, I worked at a doggy daycare, and I have passed vet technology courses online. My business is called Mac’s Petcare through which I walk dogs and take care of pets. I really enjoy my career and I would love to work with cats too! I currently only work with dogs but am definitely open to caring for cats. I can do weekdays from around 2-5PM!! I also accept other requests. I walk dogs from 10 AM-2 PM currently, and I love it very much❤️ I try to make sure they feel safe at all times and I make sure they have a good time as well👍😊💜 I absolutely love working with the animals!!
