House Sitting In Back Bay-Beacon Hill

About: I have experience sitting for a variety of dogs and cats, and have developed a strong sense of responsibility, patience, and attentiveness when it comes to pet care. I’m comfortable following specific routines, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or administering basic care, and I always make sure pets are safe and comfortable in my care. I pay close attention to each dog’s behavior and needs, so I can adjust to their energy level whether they love long walks and playtime or prefer a calmer, more relaxed environment. I’m also very communicative and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you feel confident your pet is in good hands! I look forward to creating a positive, stress-free experience for both pets and their owners! I recently graduated from Northeastern University, and now I am working part time at a physical therapy clinic. From May through the end of July, I am fully available on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and weekends. I work part-time on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays; however, I am available for walks after 3:30 PM on Fridays! Pet care easily fits into my routine, and I am committed to providing consistent attention, exercise, and reliable care for your pets! I will also be attending physical therapy school in the fall, and I am using Rover as a way to help support my graduate education while continuing to do something I love: Caring for animals! I always prioritize safety, consistency, and making sure your pet feels comfortable in any environment. I carefully follow all instructions you provide, such as feeding routines, walk routes, medication (if needed), or any other specific preferences your pet has. For walks, I make sure dogs are securely leashed at all times and stay aware of our surroundings to keep them safe. I adjust the pace and length of walks based on your dog’s age, energy level, and needs to ensure they stay comfortable. During drop-in visits, I make sure pets get not only the essentials like food, water, and bathroom breaks, but also attention, playtime, and companionship. I take time to understand each pet’s personality so I can create a calm, positive experience. I’m also very respectful of your home and will keep everything clean, secure, and exactly how you left it. Communication is important to me, so I’ll always send updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe and well cared for.

“Marcus (listed as Devon on Rover) was a phenomenal sitter for my GSD Izzy. He was in constant communication with me and my family around her care, went out of his way to ensure she had three walks and plenty of play time each day and made sure her scheduled walks, medication, and feeding times remained structured for the 2.5 weeks I was traveling. Izzy is a very loving dog but does require a confident handler with advanced knowledge given her working dog temperament and Marcus adapted to her needs seamlessly. Would recommend and rebook without hesitation (in fact we already have) and was grateful to have him for our extended sit. It allowed me to travel with sustained peace of mind and I returned home to a VERY happy and pampered dog who seemed less excited by my return than she was disappointed by Marcus’ departure!”

“Julia was amazing! She took incredible care our French bulldog Nellie and was very timely and responsive! We felt so at ease leaving our dog (aka child lol) with her and having her in our apartment”

Emily R.

“Stacy was superb! We had a last minute need due to our flight getting cancelled and Stacy was very communicative and flexible during a moment of a lot of stress. My pups were very well taken care of and I got lots of pictures. My house was well taken care of as well. Would definitely book her again in the future.”

Giulia L.

“Reliable and trustworthy. I'm so happy I found Matisse on here. She was a lifesaver when I needed someone to stop in and take my dog out. I knew I could always count on her and she really took the stress out of a stressful situation.”

“Arshneel has been a wonderful sitter for my two dachshunds! She has watched them twice for a day each and has been very kind and flexible to work with”

“Amy was absolutely amazing. She stayed with my two dogs for a week in my home. My dogs are wary of strangers and can be a bit finicky as a result (extra chatty, Velcro-dog syndrome at times), and Amy took it all in stride. She was a good communicator that provided regular updates, and my dogs were very obviously happy with her being there. Will absolutely book Amy again!”

Mel C.

“Kristina was great! She sent tons of updates with lots of pictures and left our home spotless. We would definitely book her for house sitting again!”

Molly M.

“Anastasia is a regular dog walker for us and recently stayed with our pup while we were away for the weekend. Our dog is clearly very comfortable with her and she always does a great job caring for him and paying attention to Ira’s need and idiosyncracies!”

Terry H.

“We are so happy to have found Aubrey. I felt very confident and assured knowing she was with my dog. He loved her immediately. Aubrey will be a part of my community moving forward.”

HEATHER H.

“Koralis is great. My dog is happy and my apt is very clean. While I was away my boiler wouldn’t reset and I’m afraid to say the place had no heat or hot water. I am so sorry about this”

“Angie was amazing with Frankie!! He felt so comfortable with her and she send so many updates, which we love! We will definitely have her back :)”

Julia W.

“Jean and Tom L. House sitting - August 15, 2025 Five Stars. Lauren was outstanding. She took exceptional care of Our Bischone, Rosie. It was the first time we had a non-family member watch our dog. Rosie is very skittish and anxious around people she does not know. However, Lauren took great care to set Rosie at ease. We highly recommend Lauren and are planning to book her again.”

Tom & Jean L.

“Alyssa was amazing with Gio while we were away for the weekend! She kept us updated throughout with messages and photos, and followed all of our care instructions perfectly. We felt really comfortable knowing Gio was in great hands. Would definitely book with her again!”

“Loved having Sydney over to watch my pup on a house-sitting visit overnight! We met beforehand on a meet & greet to show her around & get my pup comfy with her. It was very easy to communicate with Sydney — she is respectful, responds timely, and overall is a nice sitter & person! I felt comfortable with her in my home and with my pup in her care. 🥰 Highly recommend Sydney to others.”

About: Based in Beacon Hill, I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, from cheeky puppies to sweet seniors. I grew up in a big dog loving family so I am comfortable with feeding routines, long walks, playtime, including running around with them to help burn off energy, and administering medication when needed. I always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and relaxed while they are away from their owners. I take the time to understand each pet’s behavior and personality, since every animal is different in their own unique and wonderful way. My priority is making sure your pet is happy so you can enjoy your time without worrying. I am patient, reliable, and happy to send updates and photos upon request. I am also flexible, able to visit multiple times a day, and can accommodate last-minute requests. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to provide reliable and consistent care. I am currently a senior in college and work in a hybrid role that only requires me to be in the office once a week for a couple hours. Because of this, I have plenty of availability throughout the day. I am able to visit pets up to four times a day if needed, and my routine is not fixed, so I can easily adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs. Flexibility is one of my biggest strengths, and I take pride in being able to accommodate a variety of schedules, including last-minute requests. In your home, I follow all instructions carefully and treat the space with care. Pets are always leashed during walks and only unleashed once the door is securely closed. If there are multiple pets, I separate them during mealtime when appropriate to avoid any tension. Before I leave, I double-check that doors are locked, lights and appliances are turned off, and your home is left exactly as I found it. Your pets' safety and your peace of mind are always my top priority. On hot days, I make sure they are always hydrated, and am careful of asphalt. Plus, if there are any individual safety requirements, I can happily abide.

“Willow was EXCEPTIONAL in every way to work with as a dog sitter for our 2 year old Bijon Frise Charlie! Her wonderful communication with us, professionalism, attention to detail, and overall friendliness put us at ease every moment we were away. Willow also took wonderful care of Charlie. She asked us all the right and specific questions ahead of time to ensure he was cared for exactly as we wanted. She followed all our instructions meticulously, checked in and gave us updates, and made sure Charlie had everything he needed - walks, rest time, his food, snuggles, playtime, etc. We used Willow during a very important trip for my son's college graduation and she gave us 100% peace of mind to be able to enjoy the event and know Charlie was in the best hands. I cannot recommend her enough if you need a walker or sitter daytime, overnights, etc. You and your pup will be lucky to have Willow!”

Amy S.

“We were so reassured having Emily stay in our house with Lola while we were away overnight. She took great care of Lola and we won’t hesitate to call on her again in the future!”

Toni L.

“My family could not have asked for a better person than Heaven to stay and care for our dog. Heaven brought us peace of mind while we were away as she is extremely professional, kind, caring, responsible and attentive. I received updates and pictures and our house looked untouched when we returned home. If I could give a higher rating than 5 stars, I would!”

Patricia S.

“Jamie did such a great job watching my 11 week old dachshund puppy, Eloise! She offered to meet my pup ahead of watching her for a meet and greet which helped immensely the day she came to watch her. Also, my pup has a lot of detailed needs and Jamie followed through on all of them (crate training, frequent potty times, play time, feeding, you name it)! She is a star-sitter!! I will be booking her again and again!!”
