House Sitting in Dorchester

“Walter helped me in a pinch, did a quick meet and greet and took very good care of Zuko and Asia for the evening. Highly recommend Walter if you want some peace knowing someone punctual and reliable is taking care of your fur babies!”

“Alissa was awesome with my pups. She was excellent at responding quickly, keeping in touch regularly with updates, and treated my home like her own. I will book with Alissa again and highly recommend”

About: What sets me apart is the level of care, patience, and attention I bring to every pet. I cared for my rescue dog through her senior years and was with her right until her last day, which taught me how important compassion, consistency, and gentle care are — especially for older pets or animals with unique needs. I also have experience fostering a large, energetic dog, so I’m comfortable handling high-energy pets that need lots of activity, structure, and engagement. I’ve always lived with both cats and dogs, so caring for animals has been a constant part of my life. I’m a very active person who genuinely enjoys long walks, playtime, and spending time outdoors, and I have flexibility throughout the day to give pets attention, exercise, bathroom breaks, and companionship instead of leaving them alone for long periods. I treat every pet like they’re my own and aim to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I'm currently pursuing my PhD which leaves my schedule very flexible and open throughout the week. I'm not constrained by regular working hours (i.e. 9-5) and often make my own schedule so my availability is very open! I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment where pets can stick to their normal routines as much as possible. In a client’s home, I make sure pets receive lots of attention, exercise, playtime, bathroom breaks, fresh water, meals on schedule, and any specific care instructions their owner provides. I’m very attentive to pets’ behaviour and comfort levels, and I always try to make them feel secure while their owner is away. Because I’ve cared for both energetic dogs and senior pets, I understand that every animal has different needs. I can provide active walks and play for high-energy dogs, while also being patient and gentle with older pets who may need slower pacing, medication support, or extra comfort and supervision. I also make sure owners feel at ease by being reliable, respectful of their space, and communicative with updates and photos. My goal is always to care for pets the way I would want someone to care for my own animals — with kindness, consistency, and genuine attention.

“Sonya is great with communication and replies quickly, showed up early and stayed in touch multiple times throughout the day sending pictures of our boys. We'll definitely be reaching out again in the future!”

“Kathryn was fantastic, she agreed to watch our pup last minute so me and my husband could go out. She sent us lots of updates and photos and was great and easy to communicate with. She took great care of Aspen and our home and we would 100% book with her again.”

About: I have lived and worked in a CKC Registered dog kennel growing up, very familiar with taking care of English Bulldogs and Frenchies specifically. I have also been a pet sitter for many family members with all different breeds, friends and coworkers over the years. I have experience with many dog breeds small to large, cats, small-animals and reptiles. I work part-time, I have a very open schedule for walks, drop ins, hangouts, and home pet sitting for how ever many days may be needed in your home! I have a fenced in yard that is easily accessible even for a older dog that may have mobility issues, I am familiar with every dog park in the city, or I can take them on a hike through one of our many parks and trails. Keeping it laid back is also perfect, a roam around the neighborhood where you're located is a great option also!

“Maddie and Vanessa were fantastic - I heard from them lots throughout the day and they took such great care of Aspen - 10/10 would recommend them and 10/10 will use them again!”

Manahil L.

“Fantastic experience! Our dogs were well cared for all weekend, and we appreciated the updates and photos. Reliable, kind, and easy to work with—would definitely book again.”

About: What sets me apart is the level of care, attention, and reliability I bring to every pet I look after. I understand that every animal has its own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I am attentive to details such as feeding schedules, exercise needs, medication requirements, and behavioral cues. Whether caring for an energetic puppy, an adult dog, a senior pet who needs extra patience, or a cat that prefers a calmer approach, I tailor my care to fit each pet. I prioritize clear communication and provide regular updates, photos, and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is to create a positive, stress-free experience for both pets and their owners by treating every animal as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and make their well-being a priority. I plan my schedule to ensure pets receive consistent attention, exercise, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, administering medication if needed, or simply providing comfort and companionship, I make sure each pet gets the care and attention they deserve. I am organized, dependable, and committed to maintaining each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I also make time to provide regular updates and photos so pet owners can stay connected and have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy and well cared for. When caring for pets, my priority is to provide a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment while maintaining their usual routine as closely as possible. I take the time to learn each pet’s feeding schedule, exercise needs, preferences, and any special instructions to ensure they receive personalized care. In a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s home. I provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication if required, and plenty of attention and companionship. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their pet is doing well. If caring for pets in my home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment where they can feel safe and comfortable. Pets receive regular exercise, supervision, playtime, and affection throughout their stay. I monitor their behavior closely and make sure they have access to fresh water, comfortable resting areas, and the attention they need to feel at home. Above all, I treat every pet with the same care, patience, and kindness that I would give my own.

“Katherine is wonderful. Very reliable; kept us up to date; cared for our senior dog with a comfortable ease. We could have a vacation and not worry at all which is worth every penny.”

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!

“Stefanie was amazing with our puppy. It was my first time leaving my dog (and it was my puppy first time too) and I was so anxious. But Stefanie always kept me posted and was super patient with our Zelda.”

About: I've experience with walking neighbors dogs and dog sitting for a couple friends including dogs with separation anxiety. Even small dogs that hate men i do my best to work with them I'm currently full time at fanshawe college but my hours are rather open despite that. A stable internet connection and I can do most things anywhere. I have experience with taking care of animals with separation anxiety, rather needy pets that desire a lot of attention and many other small things. I don't have much experience with this app but hoping to get some :)

About: I've had dogs since I was 16. I see our pets as family and our little soulmates. Animals of all kinds have always been drawn to me, and I feel really comfortable looking after them. Would love to meet up and talk more about how I can provide you with the best service. Always open to feedback and advice! Let's make of this experience a great one for both you and me 😊 I'm currently working part time, and my schedule is flexible. I am a mom as well but my kiddos are big now. Would love to meet and care for your family member. I will take them for walks, feed them, clean and refresh water bowls & follow your guidelines. Also keep you updated on our adventures along the way!

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 6 years and currently foster cats through a local shelter when available. I’ve helped care for dogs and cats through walking, feeding, playtime, overnight care, and fostering, and I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have experience caring for pets with different personalities and needs, including energetic puppies, shy pets, and senior animals. I’m happy to follow any routines, training methods, or medication schedules provided by owners. I currently work part-time in childcare, which gives me flexibility throughout the week for pet care. I have experience balancing responsibilities and maintaining routines, so I understand the importance of consistency for pets. Whether it’s walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or check-ins, I’m committed to giving your pet the attention and care they need. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special instructions so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I occasionally foster cats for a local shelter, although I do not always have a foster animal in my home. If your pet is not comfortable around cats, feel free to ask and I’ll let you know whether I currently have a foster at that time. I have space for a crate if your dog is crate-trained and uses one at home. If your preference is for your dog to remain out of a crate, I’m happy to follow that routine as well. I believe consistency is important, so I do my best to maintain the environment and schedule your pet is used to. I live on a quiet residential street with a park just a short walk away, making it a great area for walks, exercise, and outdoor time. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and will care for your pet with the same attention, patience, and affection that I would give my own.

About: I’m naturally calm, patient, and very detail-oriented, which makes a big difference for both pets and their owners. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine and personality, whether that’s a playful puppy needing structure or a senior pet needing a slower, more gentle pace. I’m comfortable giving medications when needed and I make sure everything stays clean, organized, and stress-free. Because I run my own cleaning business, being trusted in people’s homes is something I take seriously. Pet care fits in really well with my routine. I’m self-employed as a cleaner, so I have flexibility in my schedule and can plan visits in the mornings, between clients during the day, and in the evenings. I’m used to being organized and on time, so I make sure each pet gets consistent, unrushed care. I focus on making pets feel safe and comfortable by sticking closely to their usual routine. I take care of feeding, walks, litter cleaning, and any special instructions, and I always make sure their space stays clean and stress-free. I adjust to each pet’s personality—whether they’re playful, shy, or more independent—and make sure they get the right balance of attention and calm. I also send regular updates so you can relax knowing everything is going smoothly.

About: Dedicated care for pets big and small. I provide professional , responsible, and knowledgeable care for pets while their owners are away. Passionate about pets I am available during the week Monday to Friday and on weekends. I am available during the day, afternoon and evening. I am available during holidays as well I will come to your place to care for your pets. I will come feed, water, clean litter boxes, walk dogs and give your pet lots of attention.

About: I have lived with a dog my whole life! For as long as I can remember my family, friends, and people in my community have asked me to take care of their pets and I am always happy to do so, whether they need me just to walk or feed their pet because they are running late or for a longer period of time. I am good with dogs of any age! I am currently a full time student in college, my weekends are always free. I do have class from 9:30-3:30 but I do have two 30 minute breaks throughout the day when I would be able to run back to the house and let the dog out When it comes to caring for a pet, I will do the obvious things like ensuring they are kept out of danger and safe, never outside without a leash unless of course in their own fenced in yard. Of course if the pet owner would like additional and specific precautions taken they can always inform me and I will follow it

“Shelby looked after Zoey for one week and did a wonderful job. We had used her previously and were happy to book her again. She took great care of Zoey and kept us updated with messages and photos, which we really appreciated while we were away. Shelby was reliable, communicative, and made sure everything at the house was well taken care of during her stay. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing Zoey was in good hands. We’re very grateful for her help and wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again in the future!”
