Cat Sitting Arlington

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 10, have experience with senior dogs! I am at home all the time, and your dog will have my undivided attention I'm home all day, except for running a quick errand or two, so your pet will have my undivided attention! I also love going on walks or runs and cuddling with your fur baby if they'll let me I have a fenced yard where your dog can have supervised playtime and a large living room where your pet and I can hang out. I'm also happy to run or walk walk your dog as often as needed! I can offer intense and safe play for high energy dogs. I will respect your cat's space, but am happy to cuddle and play with toys as needed

About: Hi I’m Christina! I’ve always loved animals and have several years of dog care experience through helping raise and care for my family dog, who is now 8 years old. I’ve regularly taken care of him for extended periods of time, including feeding, walking, playing with, etc and making sure he is comfortable and happy. I understand how important it is to have someone dependable watching over your pet, and I treat every dog with patience, attention, and care like they’re my own. I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care, walks, check-ins, and overnight stays when needed. I’m reliable with routines and communication. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow all care instructions carefully, keep walks safe and supervised, and make sure pets feel secure and comfortable in my care.

“Shawn did a great job and took very good care of our cats, including making sure on of them got her pills. She clearly cares a lot about cats and was very communicative, including lots of pictures.”

“Eunae was amazing with my kitty! I appreciated all the photos and that she took the time to get to know & play with Olive every day. She also brought in my mail while I was gone! Thank you, Eunae!!”

“Caroline did a great job checking in on my cat while I was away on vacation. She kept everything neat and tidy, paid attention to detail, and was fast/prompt with any communication. Would definitely recommend and will rebook if needed in the future.”

About: I have had cats my whole life- growing up there were times when we had up to four cats at once, I believe. I have a cat now, as well. I also have some experience walking and caring for dogs, though not nearly as much as I have with cats. I am always willing to learn, though! And I really love walking dogs, it's fun to see where they want to take you, and to have a little buddy as a person who already loves walking probably as much as dogs do. I am unemployed for the month of July (and the rest of June), so I've got lots of time to spend with your pets! Though I am relocating to the Arlington, MA area in mid July. I definitely want to closely adhere to any instructions given to me so as to provide the best care possible for you and your pets.

“Ying did an excellent job with our cat and was a proactive communicator”

“Will does such a great job checking in on our cat, Kevin, while we are away. He always sends the best pictures and provides a thorough report card! If you are nervous about leaving your pet while you’re out of town and are looking for someone to take care of your pet, Will is the perfect sitter. We will be booking Will again in the future.”

“Hillary was a great find in the "eleventh hour" of my search for service. She dropped in and took really good care of my dog while I was far away for the day. I felt confident from our first texts and Hillary's generous effort to come to my home for a meet n greet. Hillary followed through with great communication, lots of photos and follow up texts. I would call her again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her services ! Thank you so much!”

“Ashley is so good with our anxious pup. He sometimes goes on little hunger strikes, and this was the case when we left, but Ashley was very patient and kind, going at Kiba’s pace and even had fed him some meals. She was very flexible and was able to work with us when we had last minute work travel. This is not the first time we have booked with Ashley and will not be the last!”

About: I am a freelance artist by trade, I'm looking to earn some supplementary by putting to good use my love of animals and experience as a lifetime pet owner. I have been the primary caretaker for animals basically my whole life, growing up alongside furry siblings as long as I can reliably remember, including several dogs with behavioral issues such as separation anxiety and jealousy problems. My mother trained as a vet tech and taught me a lot, and is always happy to help even now if I need an extra hand or some expert advice. I have trained dogs, including potty training and dissuading problem behaviors (excessive barking, begging for food, etc.) I have experience caring for dogs in individual, group, and playgroup settings and love all animals. I cannot drive but I can engage in light to moderate dog walking just fine! I use public transport and ridesharing to get around. If you have any further questions about what might be within my wheelhouse feel more than free to ask! As a freelance artist, my schedule for work is fairly flexible and I can plan around pet care time and stays away from home with a lot of freedom, making it possible for me to keep my schedule fluid and make the animal in my care the priority of my routine. I have an apartment in Arlington I spend most of my time at but it's not the best for pets so for boarding jobs I visit and make use of my parents home in Winchester. They and their dog love the company! It has a fenced outdoor area where dogs can easily run, play, and of course go to the bathroom. It is accessible via a basement door and most dogs get the hang of it pretty easily (but I am happy to provide extra help for dogs who struggle with stairs or need other extra accomodations.) It is also home to my parents who love furry guests, and of course Emma, an extremely friendly and patient English Setter who adores playing hostess! I am also of course happy to visit other homes to care for pets, both for drop ins and overnight. I will always take the safety and cleanliness of your home seriously! In other's homes I'm happy to adapt to what resources are available and what areas and routines the dog is generally used to and comfortable with in their own usual environment!

“Elise was very quick to communicate and provided updates with every drop in. Would love to book again, thanks!”

“Tira was amazing and immediately put our family at ease. She cared for our cat for a full week while we were out of town for the holidays and was always quick to provide updates and thoughtful suggestions to help make our cat more comfortable. Our cat warmed up to her very quickly—which is rare—and Tira truly went above and beyond in terms of care. She is kind, thoughtful, and proactive, and we sincerely hope she will be available to help us again in the future.”

“Helen took such good care of my cat! We really lucked out being able to get such a good sitter for our very anxious kitty for a last-minute trip. I have never had a stranger take care of any of my pets before, but I could not have asked for a better cat sitter than Helen. What a gem!”

“Sharon was really wonderful. She was so great with my kitty (who is blind!) and there were absolutely no issues. She was very attentive and clearly caring to my cat who really thrives on human connection and doesn't enjoy it when I leave. I came back to find my cat happy and reassured, which is surely Sharon's work. Sharon went above and beyond when I had an issue with the lock on my door and worked to find the best solution possible in the moment. I will absolutely be having Sharon come back and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anybody!”

“Julia was fantastic- we really loved her watching our two cats! It was important to us that they have play time and attention while we were away, and they clearly loved her.”

Caroline A.

“Blane was great! Very kind, and responsive. Dogs were clearly happy to have Blane drop in and we were able to have peace of mind knowing they were being taken care of. Loved seeing the pics! Would absolutely rebook Blane!”

Diandra L.

“Anneke is kind and very tuned in to our cats and their different personalities. She gave them great care while we were away including giving medication. When our outdoor cat wouldn’t come in, she went back multiple times until she did! Highly recommend!”

“Sabine was great. She took care of my big girl Maine Coon Suka. She was professional and you could tell she loves animals and that she new how to interact with cats. Suka came up to her and let her pet her on the meet and greet. I would hire Sabine again.”
