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!!”

“Nikki is a miracle worker and total lifesaver!! We needed to find someone new for a full weeklong trip over thanksgiving, and we are so grateful to have found Nikki. From the first meet she was so sweet with our dogs and the bond they all formed during her stay is so special. Nikki adapted to each of their needs and won them over!! She was so attentive to my senior pups and how they managed the cold and rainy weather. She also went above and beyond to take care of our home, offering to bring in our outdoor furniture when the weather looked bad. And if all of that wasn’t enough, when our flights were cancelled and delayed a day she was able to stay an extra day relieving a ton of stress for us and the dogs. When we came home our house was cleaner than how we left it. So there’s just not enough words to say how amazing Nikki is!! She cared for our dogs and our home as though they were her own, and I know she’d do the same for anyone. We are repeat customers for life!!”

“Julie did a great job with my three dogs, who are a handful (90 pound reactive elderly Shepard, 80 pound willful Golden, and 11 pound Chihuahua mix who can be stubborn on walks). We worked together beforehand to talk about what would work best both for the dogs and for Julie so that she was set up for success. We did a few walks together and then she did a few on her own before our travel dates, which made me, and more importantly, the dogs, feel really comfortable with her. She was wonderful about giving updates including pictures, and overall communicated perfectly. She took great care of my dogs and seemed very confident about handling them. I am thrilled to have someone on hand who can take care of my pack when I am away. I highly recommend Julie for taking care of your pets. She also took care of my parent's elderly cat during the same time period and did a great job on that, too.”

“Zhenya is the best! She pampered my pup and took great care of her while we were gone for a few days. Zhenya was also able to accommodate a change in our return flight and stay a few extra hours which I greatly appreciated. She also sent pictures of Daisy while we were away. Will definitely ask for Zhenya for our next trip! ❤️❤️❤️”

“Jacqueline was just fabulous! Leaving a 12 and 13-year-old set of dogs that required medicine and gentle walking is always hard to do. In order to attend our son’s wedding without a worry we needed to feel confident in a dog sitter. Jacqueline provided that no worry feeling for us. Receiving pictures and regular updates throughout the three days was very comforting. I highly recommend Jacqueline and will use her again as needed.”

“Cam did a great job caring for my 2 dogs. This was the second time Cam had taken care of them while I was out of town for a week each. I recommend Cam to watch your animals as Cam is certainly an animal lover! Thanks, Cam for your help.”

“Sarah was fantastic with our chihuahua. He can be a little fussy until he gets to know you and Sarah bonded with him right away. She did a fantastic job of house sitting and pet care while we were away. We would hire her again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!”

“Tia is awesome!! She and our dogs got along great. We had easy communication and received daily messages with photos about their daily activities together. Tia even did some training with Gracie. Also, the house was immaculate. Tia is very sweet, clearly loves dogs and she was committed to doing a wonderful job while we were on vacation.”

“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.”

“Sammie had a great time with Zahanna!”

“Nicholas took care of our two very challenging Akita dogs, and we can't say enough of how happy we were with his housesitting. Nicholas is very responsible,has great attention to details, very patient and very calm with our dogs. Jade, our akita female could be hostile to strangers and may appear intimidating. Nicholas took the time ahead of the housesitting appointment to get to know her better, and at the end she fully trusted him. We spent our vacation knowing that our dogs are in good hands with Nicholas! We highly recommend him!”

“Absolutely amazing ! It was a last minute booking as she accepted it even if there were only few hours in advance notice. She was incredible with my dog which unfortunately had an upset stomach that evening too. Extremely kind and caring. It was our first time leaving the puppy in someone’ else’s care and we couldn’t be happier. Absolutely we are going to hire Kaylee again!”

“Merry stayed with our Bernese mountain dog over the weekend and was fantastic. Reliable, responsible, and communicative. 10/10 would recommend.”

“Traci is my number one choice as a backup for my pet sitting service when I am not available. I've known her since she was a child and can vouch for her responsibility and her true caring of animals. She is responsible and dependable and will be an asset to your pets and family.”

“Rachel is really wonderful and so great with dogs! My puppy has some separation anxiety issues but Rachel was able to put her at ease, I highly recommend her to anyone!!”

“Shye took really good care of my cats, and was very communicative. I came home to happy cats, a very clean home, and living plants! She was very professional and easy to work with. I’d happily have her catsit again.”

About: Ever since I was a child, I’ve had a passion for animals, specifically dogs. Since I was never allowed to own one as a kid, I’ve treated friends’ and family dogs as my own. I have extensive experience working with pets, including part-time dog walking, pet sitting for my aunt’s 4 cats. I also have experience working as a Certified Veterinary Technician in small animal hospitals, including Angell in Boston, over the past few years. I’m always punctual, detail oriented, reliable, and a team player at heart! I’m currently available Monday-Friday for daytime walks, pet sitting, and drop in visits as needed. I’m flexible on my availability, but I would prefer to work morning to late afternoon shifts. I’m also available on occasional weekends to walk your furry friend or pet sit at clients’ homes. I am also available to do overnight stays occasionally. In a client’s home, I help nurture the environment the pet is accustomed to, using familiar toys to play with dogs or cats. I also pay close attention to feeding schedules through out the day and ensure there is plenty of time to spend outdoors in the backyard for fresh air, bathroom breaks and more play time (frisbee, fetch with tennis balls, etc.)

“Adrienn was such a great sitter for our anxious pup. She gave him all the love and comfort we needed while we were away for the weekend. She provided the perfect level of communication - including photos and updates. We will definitely be requesting her services again!”

“Alexandra has always been a loving pet caregiver. She takes great care of my pup and treats him with so much love and attention. I felt so relieved knowing my pet was in such good hands. Highly recommend Alexandra for anyone looking for a trustworthy pet caregiver on Rover.”

About: I love dogs! Have been around them all my life. Dogs are more than a pet, they are a part of your family! Like any family member you give them as much love and care as possible. I believe if you give a dog attention, exercise, and a few good meals it will be a happy dog! My schedule is very flexible. I’m an early riser so available from 6 am to around 3 or 4 pm. Also available weekends. I currently have been walking a dog for the past year and half for five days a week. And have bonded with him in a way which I thought I never would. It’s so rewarding seeing him run around in circles all excited to see me and ready to go for his walk!!
