Pet Sitting in Brighton

“Courtney is the best; she was so sweet with my 2 young cats! They can be nervous with strangers but they really warmed up to her, which is a testament to how gentle and patient she was. She followed instructions well, and kept us updated with meaningful report cards and lots of pictures. Would definitely book with her again! :)”

About: As a lifelong pet lover and daughter of a vet tech, I have lots of experience spending time with and caring for cats and dogs of all ages. All through my life my family has had pets and we often fostered animals, especially kittens and puppies, at my home. As I renter I haven’t been able to have dogs of my own since moving out of my family’s house. Our dogs are the highlight of visiting home and I would love the opportunity to care for your dogs while you are away! I work from home during the day with a very flexible schedule. I could make some visits in the mornings, but I am mostly available in the evenings during the week and all day Friday - Sunday. I might have more time around the holidays, as well. I can also housesit if I have notice since I can work from anywhere. I’m not able to host any pets at my home due to having my own spicy kitties, but I’m happy to housesit or do drop in visits or walks. Let me know what you are looking for and I’m happy to help!

“Alana was amazing with my cats. She went above and beyond for every visit. I have a very clingy boy and a nervous girl who both warmed up quickly to her and were in great spirits when I arrived home. She handled Link's special needs with care. Thank you so much!”

About: What sets me apart is the level of care, patience, and attention I bring to every pet I meet—because I truly treat them like family. Whether it’s a high-energy puppy learning the ropes or a senior pet needing a gentler touch, I adjust my care to meet their unique needs. I have hands-on experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments, including those with medical needs or anxiety. I’m confident giving medications, reinforcing basic training, and creating a calm, comforting environment for your pet—whether it’s during a quick drop-in or an overnight stay. You can expect consistent communication, lots of photo updates, and peace of mind knowing your pet is in loving, capable hands. I work from home most days and have a flexible schedule that allows me to be flexible in the care I provide for fur babies. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment that feels like a second home. I stick to their regular routines as much as possible—feeding times, walk schedules, crate or nap habits—so they feel secure. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, play, and cuddle time, and I never leave pets unsupervised for long periods.

“Jordan did a fantastic job caring for our two cats! She administered several daily oral medications to one of our cats with such ease!! Our other cat is shy with new people and Jordan was extremely caring and allowed her to have her space while making sure her daily needs were taken care of! Jordan is very responsive and responsible and I would trust her with any pet including ones with medical and behavioral needs!!”

About: What sets us apart as sitters is that caring for dogs has always been a part of our lives. I grew up with a family dog, so from a young age I learned the importance of patience, consistency, and love when it comes to raising and caring for pets. My boyfriend, Jahn, shares that same love for animals and lives with me, so he’ll also be helping care for your dog. During college, we’ve continued to care for dogs—ranging from playful puppies who need extra training and attention to senior dogs who require gentle care, daily medication, and special routines. Because of this experience, we’ve become very attentive to each dog’s unique needs, whether that means reinforcing positive habits, providing companionship, or ensuring they get the right balance of exercise, rest, and care. We don’t just “watch” pets—we treat them like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while their owners are away. I am currently a student at Boston University and live very close to campus. I’m able to go home regularly between classes to take dogs out and make sure they’re doing okay. My boyfriend, Jahn, works right across the street, so he’s also able to check on them as needed throughout the day. We’re both attentive and flexible, making sure your dog always has company and care. There are also several dog parks nearby where we can take them to play and get exercise. In my home, pets are free to roam around the apartment and make themselves comfortable. Whether that’s lounging on the couch or snuggling up in their favorite spot. I want them to feel safe, relaxed, and at home. I also make sure they get plenty of exercise and stimulation. We go to the dog park regularly, where they can socialize and play with other friendly dogs, including those of my friends who often bring their pups along. This way, your dog gets both companionship and fun in a safe, positive environment. Most importantly, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I make sure they’re cared for, happy, and loved while you’re away.

About: About Me: I am a proud dog parent myself, with a 25lb Terrier mix named Lemonade who my husband and I rescued from a shelter in Texas about 5 years ago. Lemon (for short) is my best friend in the entire world, my soul animal, and I love her so dearly. I am usually anxious to leave her in the care of others, so I deeply empathize with other owners who just want their pet to be safe, happy, and cared for responsibly. I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have a particular fondness for small breeds, but I truly love them all! I have done overnight stays with dogs ranging from 5-45 lbs (Toy Poodles, Doodles, small Terrier breeds, pitty mixes to name a few) but also have walking experience with medium/large sized dogs such as Standard Poodles, Portuguese Water Dogs, Golden Retrievers and Lab/Boxer mixes. A fun fact about me is that I am passionate about ALL animals, and one day I hope to have a small hobby farm with chickens, ducks, and goats. I would also like to adopt a cat in the near future. I am comfortable handling all types of animals from cats and dogs to rodents, rabbits, reptiles and birds. Additional Skills/ Experience: - Administering meds- oral, eye/ear drops, injections (ex: insulin). I require an in-person meet and greet to go over instructions if you need help in this department - Walking tools: Harnesses, Martingale collars, and Herm Sprenger (prong) training collar experience - Grooming: If your dog enjoys pampering or has a coat that requires brushing, it is one of my favorite activities! I brush my dog daily and it has become a relaxing routine and bonding experience for both of us. I have extensive personal experience with curly coats that require regular maintenance and brushing (Poodles, PWDs) - Puppies/ routine training: I would be glad to learn the commands you are teaching/ implement them during walks/ drop-ins/ overnights to help you continue your training regimen while away/ at work. - Seniors: I have experience with (sometimes grumpy) seniors up to 16 years old, and therefore I am not new to doggy diapers, incontinence issues, med administration, and even blindness and loss of hearing. I approach older pets with patience, gentleness and respect for boundaries! I’d love to hear from you if you have any questions. Treating your pet like my own is always my top priority! ❤️ I am available 7 days a week! - Flexible hours on Monday- Friday - Walks: weekdays only - Drop-ins & Over-night stays: weekends & weekdays based on availability I lead with respect and compassion for all animals and pet owners, and I will abide by any specific instructions you’d like to provide. As an anxious pet owner myself, I want the best for your pet and I strive to make everyone involved comfortable, providing updates and photos throughout my service. If you prefer to meet me before booking, please reach out and I would be more than happy to do so! I do also have an enclosed back yard with a dog gate that is suitable for small dogs, if you are local and prefer to drop off.

“My two cats adore Maegan - and she’s so conscientious and kind. Always above and beyond!! Even the cranky super senior old lady comes out to say hi to her - and she hates everyone.”

“Chloe was AMAZING! She sent info and pictures. My cat is elderly and needy. She treated him so well and spent quality time. It made a difficult trip so much easier knowing my best friend was in good hands.”

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs over the years, from my own chow chow named Louie, to friends’ dogs, and to dogs in the various neighborhoods I've lived in. Through these experiences, I’ve learned how to properly groom, feed, bathe, and give any dog the best love and care that I can offer! I’m currently living in Brighton and work 2pm-8pm on most weekdays, so I have a good amount of time in the morning and early afternoon to get my pet fix in! I walk the Chestnut Hill Reservoir every day, so walking is engrained in my routine, and I love to have little companions as I do so :) I have a small park right across the street from my apartment building for easy bathroom access, along with the Chestnut Hill Reservoir a block away. I live alone, and my boyfriend lives a block away, so I can put my full attention towards any dog that stays the night, and I have extra hands to help me out if needed!

About: I am an extreme dog lover and grew up having a dog, whom I adored greatly. Since my childhood dog, I have not been able to have a dog of my own, but having a dog in my life —no matter how short the time — always brings me joy. I always make sure that the pets I care for are my number one priority and are well-cared for when they are with me. I have dog sat and cat sat for friends before and throughly enjoy doing so. I've just left the teaching profession to go back to school, this being said, I am free during the day for drop-ins and walks. I aim to provide the care your furry friend needs! I’m currently a part-time grad student and have time during the day to help take care of your dogs: walk them, feed them, play and socialize with your pets! I live in an apartment, but live close to a park and many walking paths near by. If at your home, I will ensure your pet follows the routines you have set for them.

“Polina was amazing with our two cats. She was super responsive and sending great pictures every day. She played with our outgoing cat and was kind enough to check in with our shy guy.”

“Linda was terrific. She is reliable, detail oriented, and perceptive. She clearly cares deeply about animals. You can be sure your pet will be well cared for.”
