Pet Sitting Arlington

“Laura always includes a detailed update with lots of pictures, is great with communication, and most importantly, has gotten my shy cat out to come out and play!”

“I really cant say enough about how amazing Shawn was! She was so helpful as we were leaving our dog home alone overnight for the first time and also using Rover for the first time. She was super communicative, had so many great suggestions for how to arrange visits, and answered all our questions in detail. She is very professional and you can tell she cares a lot about the dogs she watches. Would book with her again in a heartbeat!”

Margie G.

“Eunae was great with our cat! Her service was seamless and impeccable! We could tell that our kitty had so much fun with her. I recommend her to everyone in the area. I will certainly book visits with her soon.”

“Sharon did an excellent job caring for Puck while we were away for the holidays. She shared regular updates on him and he seemed very happy. I would definitely use her again.”

“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!”

“Anneke is a true kitty whisperer! Thank you for going above and beyond to love on my cats (with very different social needs) while I was away!”

About: I've loved and cared for dogs and cats my entire life! I walked dogs professionally in New York City and now call the Boston Area home. My schedule is flexible as I work from home and would love to take care of your pet any time of day. People often are surprised when their timid pup warms up to me right away; they can sense my friendly attitude. I've walked dogs large and small for short treks and long hikes. I'm great at handling the big ones and I'm always careful not to overexert the little ones. I also have experience house sitting for both cats and dogs; I'm an attentive sitter, willing to play with your pup and take him or her out for potty breaks as often as necessary. I hope you'll consider me as your walker or sitter, and I look forward to meeting your furbaby! I work flexible hours from home, so I can accommodate most schedules from midday walks to longer house sits. I can also do drop-ins before or after work. I am happy to follow any and all house rules to keep your pet happy and safe. I treat others' homes like my own and am happy to work from your home to spend more time with your pet.

“Alexandra was a joy to work with. Reliable, professional, kind and a great communicator. We will definitely request her help in the future.”

About: I lovingly cared for my dog Porter for 16 years, through puppyhood, adolescence, and being a senior doggy who needed special medical treatment. I also rescued his sister Chloe and had her for about five years before she passed on. I work from home, so my schedule is quite flexible. I would love to zip out in the middle of the day and take your pooch for a spin around Arlington. I currently have no animals in my home and I’m not sure I’m quite ready for another pet, which is why I’m trying out Rover for other doggies that need walks and pets

“Samantha took wonderful care of my cat while I was away for 7 days, and I really appreciated her updates and how perceptive she was about how my cat was doing. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of!”

About: I always love walking my dog and my friends dogs and I am very reliable and genuinely care. While I’m walking a dog I carry poop baggies, water and a water bowl, and a ball/toys. I’m open a flexible to accommodate whatever your dog needs. I also of course am well versed in dog language so I’m able to know what your dog is trying to tell me. (I also know that the rates are high so I’m always willing to negotiate if you don’t want to pay the exact set price 😁.) I’m excited to care for your dog! I’m very flexible with time. Right now I’m not at university, so I have a lot of free time to walk dogs. My main job on week days has been dog walking. I have a nice big fenced in backyard and a big house. And of course I have all the essentials for dog care like food, poop baggies, toys, and lots of dog love.

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

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!

“Julia is very thoughtful and attentive to my pack (two dogs, one cat) - she picks up on their quirks and I know they are relaxed when she cares for them! 🤩”

Virginia W.

“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.”

Tara K.

“My dog, Rosie, LOVED Tira! Rosie can be pretty tricky: she's not the easiest to walk because she doesn't like other dogs and likes rabbits/squirrels a bit too much, but Tira put me at ease right away. Tira clearly has had years of experience with dogs; she knew exactly how to handle Rosie to keep her safe and happy. Will definitely be booking with Tira again soon!”

Carolyn K.

“Kaylor was great with my cat. He was very reliable and gave me thorough check-ins. I felt comfortable leaving my cat with him!”
