House Sitting Dorchester

“Natalie was a perfect fit to look after our 2 very needy senior labs overnight for us - she sent us lots of update pics/videos which gave us complete peace of mind that our girls were in very good hands - our home was left immaculate too! We look forward to using Natalie again!”

About: I grew up on a farm and have lived with cats and dogs of all ages. I also volunteer as a foster home for a local pet rescue so have done some dog training as well. I am a graduate student with a flexible schedule that I know many pet parents don’t have. I can happily take an afternoon or evening to cuddle up or play with your pets to keep them happy and healthy. I care that your pet is happy, healthy, safe, and well exercised both mentally and physically. I love providing enrichment and confidence building opportunities for dogs inside and outside the house.

“Ted was quick and easy to communicate with. He did a great job with Meatball and sent me lots of pictures. He left my house in perfect condition. I would definitely book with him again!”

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs my entire life, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of who I am. What sets me apart is my experience caring for pets at every stage of life. I’m especially comfortable with puppies and young, energetic pets as well as senior pets who need extra patience and gentle care. I also enjoy teaching tricks and basic commands using positive reinforcement. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and routine and love making sure they get plenty of play, exercise, attention, and affection. I work full-time and receive my schedule about a month in advance, so I’m able to plan pet care well ahead of time. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting at your home on my scheduled days off or around my work hours. I’m reliable, organized, and happy to coordinate in advance to make sure your pet’s routine is maintained. When caring for your pet in your home, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and following their normal routine. I’m respectful of your home and will carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and any other specific needs. I understand that pets often feel most comfortable in their familiar surroundings, and I’ll give them plenty of attention, patience, and companionship while you’re away.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs belonging to different family members (small, medium, and large breeds). I have experience with dogs and love them but my cat would terrorize them, so this would be ideal for me to have the interaction I crave with these furry babies! I have plenty of time for your dog/cat needs, my schedule is fairly open usually and I’m ok spending more than one night if needed with a few days notice. I love animals and understand when/if they need something especially with a little direction for specific things from their parent. I pay attention to detail and I’m punctual and most of all, I love pets. I will be so happy to look after your furry babies.

“Gabrielle was very great with our geriatric cat. She stayed at our house and was consistent with giving her her medications. Thank you Gabrielle!”

“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.”

“Wonderful companion for our Boys. Arrived promptly, and was patient with us when we were a bit later returning than planned. Great communication, and the dogs really like her. ????”

About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs/cats from young to senior ages. I care for my own dog who is 15 years old and requitres frequent attention and medication. I've developed skills to administer medication orally with approved foods. I'm a full-time worker out of town. Fridays and Saturdays are my available days, preferrably in the mornings or afternoons. It offers time in between duties for my own pet. I would normally assess the pets condition/mood/etc. Check their water and food dishes. Prepare them for a potential walk or a breath of fresh air in a fenced area. assuring water and food dishes are full prior to leaving. Administering medication depending on agreement/approval with client.

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!

“Kassi has watched our cat a few times now. We always return to a happy, healthy boy. She has been great!”

“Stevie is a shy pup but Juhi got to be best buddy’s with him after a few treats, she took him out for walks and sent pics to show Stevie was looking happy. Great service and would recommend Juhi for anyone looking for a pet sitter.”

About: I’ve had cats my entire life and I have taught myself how to groom them. I love cats especially. I can groom and bathe them as well as ear cleaning and nail trims. I have also trained 3 cats the 'sit' command, an 8 year old grey tabby, a 5 year old dilute calico, and a 2.5 year old orange girl. My schedule is extremely flexible, whatever works for you and your pet will also work for me :3 I have a nice open calendar for a summer! I have 3 cats, i feed them their food and the ones that are comfortable with it, i clip their nails safely, i know exactly where to cut it so they don't bleed. Cats that are okay with water, i can bathe them safely but you would have to provide feline body wash

“Emily was fantastic! She house-sit my two puppies for a week, and they loved her. She really cared for them as if they were her own. Emily sent me lots of updates and pictures throughout the week, which was so reassuring. She also took great care of my apartment and went above and beyond to ensure it was clean and tidy for when I got back. Emily even stayed an extra couple of hours to watch the pups for me when my travel plans were suddenly delayed on my way back. She was excellent at communicating and staying flexible. I would highly recommend Emily for any of your pet-sitting needs. I know I will definitely be reaching out again, my puppies already miss her!”

“I couldn't have asked for a better person to care for my pets and in fact my pets loved him so much I was worried when I got home they wouldn't have missed me at all. Brandon cared for them and followed the instructions for the house impeccably. Communication was clear and timely and he even helped me out when my flight was delayed. I would use Brandon a thousand percent again.”

About: I grew up with Moose, our family's Shar-Pei. The breed tends to be wary of strangers, and watching Moose slowly warm up to visitors taught me to let a new dog come to me when they're ready. I've also walked dogs for neighbours and friends, and I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. On walks, my phone stays in my pocket unless I'm taking photos for your update. That way, I spot a dropped chicken bone before your dog does. If your dog tenses up at an oncoming dog, a skateboard, or a goose, I cross the street or head the other way before it turns into barking or lunging. I also adjust each walk to your dog, whether they need a slow stroll with lots of sniffing or a brisk pace to burn off energy. I'll stick to your rules too: the commands you use, how many treats are allowed, and whether the couch is off-limits. I'm on a lighter course load this term, so apart from a few classes, I'm available 7 days a week, 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. That means I can walk your dog at the same time every weekday while you're at work, so they know what to expect. I'm also around for last-minute walks when you're running late, and I can usually do a meet & greet within a day or two of hearing from you. I keep my Rover calendar up to date, so if it shows me as available, I am. If my class schedule changes next term, I'll give you plenty of notice. At our meet & greet, I'll learn your dog's routine, how they are with other dogs, what spooks them, and who to call in an emergency, including your vet. On walks, I make sure your dog can't back out of their collar or harness, keep them leashed the whole time, and always pick up after them. They only greet other dogs if you're fine with it and the other dog's owner agrees. On hot days, I test the pavement with the back of my hand to make sure it's safe for paws, bring water, and keep walks short and shaded. When it's bitterly cold or icy, I shorten walks and stick to cleared paths. In your home, I block the doorway when I come and go so your dog can't dart out, and I never bring anyone else inside. On drop-ins and house sits, I keep meals, walks, and bedtime on your dog's usual schedule. When I'm staying over, I never leave them alone longer than we've agreed. Before I leave, I wipe mud or road salt off their paws, refill the water bowl, latch any gates, and lock up. After every visit, you'll get photos and a quick update, including bathroom breaks. If anything seems off, like limping or an upset stomach, I'll let you know right away.

About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life — from raising fish and hamsters to loving guinea pigs, cats, and dogs. Right now, I share my home with my sweet dog named Winnie who is a Miniature German Shepherd and an affectionate cat, named Luna, who I’m completely obsessed with. I love observing animals’ behaviors, understanding their needs, and showering them with the affection they give (and ask for!) in return. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, I’ll make sure they feel safe, seen, and loved! Im working full time so the first thing I make sure to take care of is to feed my furbabies food and replenish their water dish. Winnie has been waiting all night to use the bathroom so I either send her out or if I have time take her on morning stroll to stretch those tiny legs. I also make sure to clean Luna’s litter no matter how un-used it was over night because of the princess that she constantly reminds me that she is! On my day offs I make sure to spend more time with Winnie outdoors whether that’s going to the dog park, extensive walks or just playing fetch in our neighbourhood! I also give Luna her attention by giving her bum scratches and pats, refilling her cat nip toy, or brushing her which she always enjoys. I will most likely be visiting my clients home mostly because Luna is uneasy around other animals. But following crating instructions, keeping doors closed when necessary, creating a calm and peaceful environment, not leaving garbages or food bags/containers or anything that can put either pet at risk.
