House Sitting in Boxborough

“We recently had Eric come over and check in on our dogs while we were out of the country and we couldn’t be happier with his services! When he first came over to meet us and the pups, he brought a notebook and was very thorough in making sure he had all the details he needed. While we were out of town, he provided us with updates and pictures every single day! Our dogs loved him and it was so great knowing they were in such good hands. Highly recommend Eric for any of your pet sitting needs!!”

“Julia was excellent! She took great care of Hazel while house sitting, and was a perfect house guest. She was quick to reply and send pictures with updates, left our home spotless, and our dog had a great time with her. We would be happy to book again!”

“Nikki stayed at our house for a week to watch our two cats and dog. From the moment we met Nikki we were comfortable with leaving our pets in her care. She is knowledgeable, friendly and caring. She was communicative, easy to reach, and always updated us on our pets and any small issues that arose. Our house was left in tip top shape , she helped with getting mail, taking trash out and even washed sheets and remade the bed. We highly recommend Nikki and would definitely use her again.”

About: Hi, my name is Kaley! I earned my Master’s degree in Environmental and Marine Science in 2019 with a focus on water quality. I currently work from home as an environmental analyst and am looking to take on part-time pet care—something I’m truly passionate about. As someone who loves the outdoors, I naturally connect with animals and enjoy being active, whether it’s going on hikes, long walks, or spending time at the park. I’m also an experienced and responsible caregiver who brings warmth, energy, and attention to detail to everything I do. Over the years, I’ve cared for a variety of pets—dogs, cats, and even small animals—both for friends and family. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or just providing loving companionship, I enjoy making sure pets feel safe, happy, and well-cared for while their owners are away. I’m reliable, outgoing, and truly love building trust with both animals and their humans. I’d be thrilled to help care for your furry family members and bring some extra joy to their day. I work from home so my schedule is very flexible and I can provide at tentative around the clock care, and I’m happy to accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening needs. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment that matches their daily routine as closely as possible. I make sure they’re well-fed, exercised, and given plenty of attention and affection. I’m very detail-oriented, so I always follow care instructions carefully—whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, or favorite toys and activities. My background in environmental science makes me naturally attentive to the well-being of animals and their surroundings. I also love spending time outdoors, so if your pet enjoys walks or playtime outside, I’m happy to provide that enrichment. Whether it’s cuddles on the couch, active play, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet like my own.

About: I have been taking care of pets for friends and family for the last 5 years and it’s always been a welcome opportunity as I was never allowed to have pets growing up. I love nature so long dog walks are never boring. I also have experience petsitting so I’ll make sure your pet is never lonely. I am able to stay with your pet all day and on weekends as well. The longest I would be out is 4 hours, but that would be very intermittent. I’m respectful of clients’ homes and I want the pet to be as comfortable as possible. If the pet makes a mess I will be sure to clean it as soon as possible and the return the place to how it looked before if not cleaner.

“Hannah was available last minute for an overnight stay when our original plans changed. She was able to squeeze in a meet and greet beforehand and put a lot of effort into helping our anxious dog feel comfortable. She sent updates throughout the stay and left our home clean and just how we left it. We would definitely use Hannah’s walking and pet-sitting services again!”

“Megan did an awesome job taking care of our cat and dog for the weekend. She was a great communicator with us and home and pets looked perfect when we came home! Will love to use her again in the future.”

“We couldn’t be more grateful for Rachel’s care and dedication while watching our senior dog, Kaia, during our weekend trip. What truly stood out was her flexibility and commitment to ensuring Kaia was well taken care of, no matter the circumstances. Originally, we planned to return Sunday night, but a strong winter storm changed our plans. When we reached out to Rachel last-minute to ask if she could stay an extra night, she didn’t hesitate to help. With road conditions still dangerous Monday morning, we ended up extending our stay another night, knowing Kaia was in great hands. Despite the storm hitting Acton hard and making walks difficult, Rachel made sure Kaia could get outside safely and kept our home well cared for. Her reliability and willingness to adapt to unexpected challenges gave us peace of mind throughout the trip. We highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a responsible, caring, and dependable dog sitter!”

“Elizabeth took wonderful care of our dog, Oscar overnight. She went above and beyond our expectations. Oscar was happy, calm and comfortable after her care. Our house was neat, actually a bit neater than when we left it. I highly recommend her.”

“Maddie was phenomenal! I’ve never used a service to watch Buddy the Cat before. Buddy can be fussy at times, but Maddie was great!!! She sent me pictures and emails throughout”

About: Adopting Benny, our now 6-year-old Australian Shepherd mix, has been one of the most meaningful and rewarding experiences of our lives. He came to us as a rescue, full of potential but also in need of patience, consistency, and care. Australian Shepherds are known for their intelligence, energy, and sensitivity—and Benny is no exception. From daily walks and mental stimulation to routine training and lots of affection, caring for him has been a constant, joyful commitment. He thrives on structure and attention, and it’s been incredibly rewarding to watch him grow more confident and connected as the years go by. Benny has taught us so much about resilience, communication, and the powerful bond that forms between a pet and their family. He’s not just a pet—he’s truly part of our family. Pet care is a daily routine for me. I'm the one who feeds, brushes, spends time with Benny and walks him on a daily basis. I provide nothing but the best for Benny. He gets toppers on his food, supplements, daily attention and walks. I'am trustworthy, reliable and will treat your animals as if they were my own.

“Our pup is really anxious without us around and Wendy took the time to really get her to warm up a bit, sending us updates the whole time! Really appreciated it.”

“We left our 8 month old puppy for five days(4nights) with Jess. It was the first time we left her since we got her and Jess was a great fit for our family. She kept us updated, and made us feel so much calmer about leaving her. She even helped Maple keep up with her basic training skills. Will definitely be keeping her contact information for the future!”

About: I’ve been taking care of my own pets for almost my whole life, mostly my two cats Perry and Mako, but I have experience with all sorts of animals. I pet sit for neighbors and friends all the time and have special experience distributing medicine to elderly cats, cutting nails, and keeping up with fast puppies! I’ve just finished my first year at college and I have plenty of time in the summer for looking after pets! I’m mostly available for short visits and walks throughout the day! I’m in Acton until early September, and over winter break. Safety of your pet is my number one priority, and I promise I’m extremely trustworthy when it comes to pet care. I respect the animals and your home space, taking great care to create a friendly environment for your pet!
