House Sitting in Boston Heights

About: I’ve grown up around both cats and dogs my entire life, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my daily routine. From feeding, walking, and bathing to playing with them and making sure they feel comfortable and loved, I’m very familiar with the responsibility that comes with pet care. I’ve also helped friends and family members by watching their pets while they were away, including stopping in for walks, feeding, playtime, and giving them attention and companionship. Being around animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy, and I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I currently work part time, so I have lots of time for your animals! Most days, I can guarantee a bathroom break no more than 6 hours apart. There are a few days it would be 8 hours, but I will be clear with my communication with you! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always try to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow all feeding schedules, walk routines, medication instructions, and any specific care preferences closely to help pets feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and companionship based on their personality and energy level. I also keep the home clean and respectful, including cleaning up after pets, refreshing water bowls, and maintaining litter boxes if needed. Communication is very important to me, so I provide regular updates and photos to help owners feel at ease while they’re away.

“Brittany took care of our aging dog (and itinerant cat) for a week while staying a our house in November, 2021. She was wonderful - very responsible and conscientious. Sent daily updates, pix and was really nice to work with. House looked great when we got home. We would be happy to have her sit anytime!”

“My dogs were well taken care of and my house looked the same as when i left. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! I will definitely reach out again to book Katelyn P!”

Kathleen R.

“Teresa was amazing with our dogs! She spent the weekend with them and they truly enjoyed spending time with her. She sent sweet updates and pictures of them too. Which was such a bonus!! We would definitely love for her to watch our dogs again in the future!”

“Lori did a very nice job watching our pets while we were on vacation. They were well fed, she took the dogs outside often and watered our plants. She sent pictures of our pets every day and told us how they were doing. She informed us when she was leaving the house for a while and didn't stay away very long. We were impressed how well our chihuahuas liked her. Our dogs don't like very many people....at all. We look forward to having Lori watch our pets when we go on vacation again.”

About: Hello! I have had a love for pets my whole life! Starting when I was 12 I began to check in on my neighbor's and family member's animals. I would walk them, feed them, stay the night with them, and love on them! As a recent high school graduate, I am free both weekdays and weekends for the summer and can put my full attention and energy into watching your pet! I always make sure that my animal's needs are taken care of first! I take them on nice long walks and play with them and give them as much attention as possible! I make sure to take them out every few hours depending on how big or small!

“This was a last minute booking that Tara was quick to respond to and set up a meet/greet for. I was very nervous to leave the dogs as we just recently rescued one with severe trauma/fear and another one healing from a recent surgery and still getting used to having his new brother in the house. I knew they needed someone very attentive and knowledgeable—Tara was just that and beyond! We had a slight issue that we did not anticipate with our rescue doggie and Tara was quick to inform us and navigate the issue to ensure both our dogs were happy and healthy in her care!”

“Elle is the best, took great care of our puppies, look forward to the next time we need her help!”

SEAN S.

“I can’t say enough about how great Patience was with the dogs! I’m sure they felt they were on their own vacation! We have dog with medication needs and she was totally on top of it! Sent pictures and video updates! I think the dogs only complaint is that she left when it was over!”

Kayla W.

“Audrey takes the best care of my dog and home. She keeps me posted, including pictures, of their daily activities. She gives BamBam so much love that I’m sure he is very sad that she leaves when I return.”

Kathryn C.

“Ebony did a great job watching my 11 mo. old puppy over the weekend. She stayed and left the house spotless. She also communicated very well when my puppy had an issue with her harness (puppy was nervous about someone new) and was open about what was going on. Puppy was in good hands and I could relax on vacation. I would highly recommend using Ebony for an overnight stay!”

Christina P.

“Chelsea did a great job caring for my dogs while I was out of town. She kept the house clean and even took care of our bearded dragon! We were kept updated with frequent pictures. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again! Thank you, Chelsea!”

“It was such a relief to have Aidan caring for my dogs at my house while I was gone on my 8 day vacation. My pups are 14 and 11 years old and have special dietary and medical needs and he was able to keep them well fed, medicated and happy! This was the first time in their whole lives that I didn't have friends or family available to watch them, but I didn't have to worry as Aidan sent pictures and kept me up to date on how things were going. If I am in this situation again Aidan will be the first person I reach out to!”

Kelly B.

“Bryeanna was absolutely wonderful. She took special care of our old guy. Sent daily pictures and updates. Very responsible and kind young lady we would highly recommend.”

Loretta M.

“Lisa was an amazing dog sitter while I was out of town in week vacation. She frequently sent updates thriugh text messages and pictures and took very good care of my senior doggie. My dog requires to take medication and required a little extra care. Lisa was very good with her and did amazing job. I felt very comfortable with Lisa coming to my home to take care of our dog. I would definitely recommend using Lisa for a pet sitter and i would love to have Lisa again in the future when out of town.”

About: growing up with a family dog, i’ve always looked forward to our long walks. since i've moved to care for my grandma & i can’t have a pet at my current home, i’m looking to be the dedicated adventure buddy your pup deserves! i’m an avid walker who cleans up after your pet & loves exploring local parks and trails, and i’m just as comfortable handling a brisk, high-energy trek as i am a slow, 'sniff-heavy' stroll for seniors or four legged friends who love getting distracted! HOT WEATHER: for dog-friendly clients, i am able to provide outings to low stress trips to uncrowded, pet-friendly stores/facilities for stimulation and enrichment (including a potty break outside before and after, of course!) i am also happy to walk earlier/later in the day to avoid the heat as well! i also enjoy keeping pets company in home, whether its playing with toys, using lick mats, or just spending some time together! because i work evening and overnight shifts, i have guaranteed availability every morning and midday for your dog’s routine. whether you need a recurring daily walker or a same-day visit because you’re running late, i'm local and ready to jump in! my current job is closing in a few months, so i’ll be even more available for your schedule soon :) in public, i use a short-leash grip, stay hyper-aware of our surroundings without distractions like phones/technology of any kind (aside from photos, of course!), and avoid unknown dogs to keep your pup protected. i pride myself on being a trustworthy, punctual communicator, providing frequent photo updates so you’re always in the loop. i am very confident in my ability to kennel/leash pets & i consider myself well-versed in administering medication. i am keen when reading animal stress signals, ensuring your pet feels safe and understood under my care! as of early may, i am taking dog training certification courses to better my understanding and confidence in dog training :)

About: I have three cats of my own that I take care of. My family has always had a dog or cat in the home, so have been taking care of dogs and cats since I was a child. I am currently working full time from home, so I am flexible when it comes to my daily and weekly routine. We can find a schedule that works for us both! I currently have three cats that.. run our household 😅 they are well tended to and have many toys. Under my care, I will be able to keep your pet happy, healthy and safe

“Nicole was great…..very comfortable with her staying and being at home with my pooch. She even took him on a convertible ride. Would definitely use her again!!”

About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life and am very comfortable caring for pets of all ages and personalities. From energetic puppies who need structure and play to senior pets who need patience, gentleness, and a slower pace, I understand how to adjust my care to each animal’s needs. I also have experience caring for cats and respects their routines, boundaries, and unique personalities. I am attentive to details like feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their environment. I do work full time as a warehouse supervisor. My shift is Monday - Friday working 10:30am-7:00pm at the latest. But I will be sure to keep your pet's routine and comfort my top priority. I am completely comfortable staying at the home so I can be there around the clock. I treat every pet like a part of my family like they are my own. I will be sure to follow your instructions carefully, you'll receive regular updates and pictures to see how your fur baby is doing.

“Thanks to Akira for helping us with the final days of our vacation, taking care of our dog. She stepped in and evidently didn’t miss a beat. We came home to a happy dog-which was our goal. She is a senior dog so offers a complete set of skills that are not always the most fun! Akira met the challenges! And - I might add, left our house in beautiful condition! Ihighly recommend Akira!”
