Cat Sitting Dorchester

About: Hi! I’ve been a professional dog trainer for the past two years specializing in puppy socialization and service dog training. I’ve moved up to Canada for school so I’m looking for something I can do between classes. I had a senior dog who I cared for throughout the end of his life so I’m comfortable with dogs who use diapers and am strict about taking medications on time. I’d love to talk and find out if I would be a good fit! Currently I am a dog trainer and student so I have some time between classes and clients. I’d love to have a reason to take my free time to go on a walk or hike rather than scroll on my phone. If I’m watching animals I will gladly have time to stop in and play with them or if they just want to cuddle I’ll happily grab my homework and cuddle them while reading. For taking care of dogs in a clients home unless the yard is fully fenced and secured taking the dog out on a leash and their regular walking gear for any outside time. I don’t believe in letting dogs greet on leash so while out on walks I will avoid other dogs but will gladly let people say hi (as long as that’s cleared by the owner). I also need to know if any allergies or weight concerns as I carry treats while outside of the house to help manage any behaviour with positive reinforcement.

“I had a great experience with Stefanie while I was away on a two‑week vacation. She followed all instructions, took excellent care of Maria, and was very responsive. My cat warmed up to her quickly. I’ll definitely book with her again”

“Emily provided wonderful pet sitting services during my weekend vacation out of town. Received many updates on how my cats were doing, as well as pictures from throughout her visits. Would definitely use her services again and recommend her to others.”

“Maddy and Vanessa were outstanding pet sitters to our cat Tuna. It was our first time leaving our cat with a Rover, so naturally we had some anxiety going into the process. This was quickly quieted by the kindness and thoughtfulness of Maddy and Vanessa. They provided very detailed updates about what Tuna had done, asked questions as needed, and went above and beyond anything we could have imagined. They also took wonderful photos and videos, some of the best we’ve ever got of our girl! We feel lucky to have found them, and Tuna is lucky to now have such amazing new friends, who she loves dearly. We have both had pets our entire lives and have never had a better experience with a pet sitter. We simply cannot recommend Maddy and Vanessa more :) we will absolutely be rebooking with them in the future!”

“Erin was super caring, friendly, and professional! This was our first time booking through Rover and our first time leaving our two cats for more than a couple days so I was very apprehensive but Erin was lovely, accommodating, and clear. My one cat is definitely a velcro cat who wants absolutely nothing to do with anyone but me and is very skittish and nervous, so she (very expectedly) hid under the bed for all of her visits, but Erin always made sure to still try her best to make her feel included and cared for in every visit :) Thanks again!”

“Walter was amazing with my cat Ducky over the past four nights! My cat is usually very scared and shy, but was perfectly fine around Walter. He was also very flexible and allowed me to shift my bookings back three hours with short notice. It was so nice to not have to worry over the holidays knowing that my cat was well taken care of. I will definitely be booking with him again in the future and would recommend his services to anyone who wants the best care for their pet!”

About: I've owned pets my whole life, dogs and cats. I’ve pet-sat for other animal owners multiple times, especially in the past few months, while away or on vacation. I'm very patient with animals, including senior animals, and provide them with love and care while you're away! I'm currently doing an unpaid summer internship at a daycare for school three days a week, so I will have plenty of time to watch your animals! I am especially open and available on weekends, too! I will ensure to stick to your guidelines provided to create a safe environment for the animals. I will also keep a close eye on them and spend lots of time with them!

“Lauryn did a great job taking care of my cat while I was away. I appreciated the check-ins we had and the communication was great overall!”

I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their familiar environment while keeping owners updated with photos and messages throughout my stay.

“This was my first time using rover and I was nervous about it at first. But my experience with Rachel was phenomenal! Rachel came to my home a few times during our vacation to look after out cat Eevee. Rachel topped up her food, gave her fresh water, cleaned out the litter box, and managed to play and pet with Eevee. Rachel even came over before we left to go over everything and to meet Eevee, which I really appreciate! It was nice to come home to a clean house and a happy cat. I would definitely book with Rachel and will be using her in the future. Thank you Rachel!!”

About: I’ve taken care of cats for a few years now, having 1 cat in my house and 3 total in my family! I also have lived with 2 different cats in university and cat sat regularly for others. Have experience with cats with PICA and anxiety. I work from Monday to Friday in Toronto (4 days are in person and depend on the week)! Pet care would fit into my routine in the mornings and at night (in the day if needed I can work from home). Because I have cats at my home I am able to care for your pets in your home! This gives them comfort in their own space.

About: Hi! I’m an experienced and reliable dog lover with hands-on experience working at a kennel, daycare, boarding facility, and breeder. I am also in school studying veterinary medicine!! I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and ages — from giant Irish Wolfhounds to tiny newborn puppies. I also have experience helping train new litters and working with dogs that need extra patience and behavioural support. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priority, and I’ll care for them like they’re my own! I’m currently off school for the summer, which gives me lots of flexibility and availability for pet care! I also work a part-time job, but my schedule is very manageable and I still have plenty of time to dedicate to walks, drop-ins, daycare, etc; as long as I have some notice. I’m happy to work with your schedule and make sure your pets get the attention and care they deserve! At the moment I’m unable to offer boarding or care in my own home, but I’m more than happy to travel to clients’ homes for walks, drop-ins and, daycare. I want pets to feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible in their own environment!

About: You know your dog best, so I'll follow your specific instructions and make sure that they get whatever you want for them, no more, or less! I'm respectful of your desires and attentive to each dogs needs. I do not wish to help with human aggressive dogs, but I'm able to handle dog aggression without issue. Due to only having part time studies right now, I'm available at many different times throughout the day and week. Primarily available for dog walking. We don't currently have any pets, but our large yard is dog safe and clean. I am not interested in dog sitting service, but will walk or host dogs here.

About: I’ve taken care of my own cats and dogs as well as friends and families animals of all kinds. I love all animals and want to make sure they also feel loved. Good at enforcing training and sticking to schedules. Currently not working so I have lots of time to spend with your furry companions. I have my own car so I will be able to commute back and forth. I make sure to ask questions when I’m unsure and read up on any information provided to me about the animals, the home, and the schedule.

About: Hi, I recently lost my sweet terrier and he was not kennel suited so I understand that it’s comforting to have your your pet taken care of in a home. I have 2 cats but but they’re dog savvy and will hang out downstairs if they’re not comfortable. I would be most available on weekends as I’m home. Let me know what works for your pet. Walks, cuddles, and couch all included. I’ve had pets all my life and look forward to hanging out with yours. I have an easy going lifestyle and a large space with a fenced yard. Feel free to check it out before booking. Meet my pet and ensure this is a safe, comfortable place for yours. Thanks!

We have a big home and a main floor with minimal stairs. We’re easy going and enjoy all types of dogs. Room for crates if needed and lots of dog beds for your pet to lounge in.I have a large fenced yard for your dog to run and play!

As well I have a cat and his name is Korin. I love having animals at home with our kids. I’m currently on maternity leave so my schedule is quite flexible.

About: 🐶 About Me Hi! I’m Elyssa — a reliable, attentive animal lover who genuinely enjoys caring for pets as if they’re my own. I understand how important it is to feel completely comfortable leaving your pet with someone, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m calm, patient, and very tuned in to animal behaviour. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or prefers a slower, cozy vibe, I adjust to their personality and routine. I’m especially attentive to signs of discomfort, stress, or changes in behaviour — your pet’s safety and wellbeing always come first. ⸻ 🐾 My Experience • Experience with medium to large breeds • Comfortable with senior dogs and dogs with mobility considerations • Familiar with basic training cues and reinforcing good habits • Confident handling dogs on leash • Experienced with feeding routines, medication schedules, and special instructions I also understand that some dogs can be anxious when their owners are away. I focus on keeping their routine consistent and providing reassurance, structure, and lots of positive attention. ⸻ 🏡 What You Can Expect ✔️ Reliable and punctual ✔️ Frequent photo and video updates ✔️ Clear communication ✔️ Clean and respectful care of your home ✔️ Lots of love, belly rubs, and enrichment I treat every pet like family — and I know they aren’t “just dogs.” They’re your babies. I work shift-based hours, which gives me flexibility that a traditional 9–5 schedule doesn’t. On my days off, I have full daytime availability for walks, drop-ins, and quality time. On workdays, I’m often available mornings, evenings, or overnight depending on my rotation. Because I’m used to managing a rotating schedule, I’m very organized and intentional with my time. I only accept bookings that I know I can fully commit to, and I avoid overbooking so every dog receives calm, focused attention. Shift work also means I’m comfortable with early mornings, late evenings, and non-traditional routines — which is perfect for pet parents who work long hours or unconventional schedules themselves. Your dog won’t feel rushed or squeezed in — they’ll have dedicated, reliable care built into my week. I bring calm energy, strong communication, attention to detail, and genuine care. Your dog will be treated with patience, structure, and lots of positive reinforcement — like they’re my own.
