Pet Sitting Dorchester

“Emily is great with our senior cat, she took good care of him during her visits. We appreciated a lot her note from visit telling us what they did, how they interacted and how the visit went. She definitely has experiences with picky eaters (just like ours), she tried her best to encourage eating. I believe Emily and our cat had a good bound and enjoyed each other. And we appreciated so much her visits providing not only good company to our furry kid but also a peace of mind to us. Highly recommend Emily to anyone in need.”

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! I’m in the office a few days a week but can come home at lunchtime .Weekends are best but we could also work something out for during the week! I’m pretty flexible! 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!

About: With over 3 years of hands-on pet care experience, I’ve had the pleasure of working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I specialize in creating a calm, safe, and structured environment tailored to each dog’s unique needs. Whether it’s high-energy pups who need plenty of play and stimulation, or senior dogs who require a gentler, more attentive approach, I’m confident in providing the right level of care. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, strong communication with pet parents, and my ability to quickly build trust with animals. I’m experienced in administering medications, maintaining feeding routines, and offering basic training reinforcement. I treat every dog like my own and pride myself on being reliable, respectful, and fully present during every visit or stay. Let’s make your pet’s time away from you feel just like home—safe, happy, and well-cared for! I work from home and my wife is sometimes working from home. So we can take care of the pups together during the week and weekends we both are home and take out dogs for play and activities. I have a fenced yard and my dog loves playing in there. Lots of space to play around. I take them for walks every 2 to 4 hours to get their business done.

“Walter did amazing with our nervous dog and our loud dog. He was calm, experienced and had no problems following instructions. We will certainly use his services again.”

About: I’m Jules! A lover of all animals, but dogs have my heart. Just a shift working, dog ADORING gyal with some time on her hands & and a passion for pups. Having 3 dogs of my own (a Dalmatian mix, a poodle mix & a little rescue nugget) there’s nothing I haven’t already handled. My partner is also a dog groomer part time & this has given me lots of exposure with a variety of breeds and temperaments! I work a very flexible part-time shift work schedule - allowing me to be available during most days, weekends, afternoons but also on nights I’m not working. I have a fully fenced backyard, and two of my three dogs are very friendly & love to play- while my rescue doesn’t quite know how to yet, he much rather prefers to supervise with me.

I ensure that the animals are fenced or gated and I provide the proper care and timing for their bathroom schedule.

About: Depuis toute petite, je me suis occupé de mon chat et des animaux de mes parents. En étant plus vieille, j'ai eu l'occasion de m'occuper des chiens de ma sœur. J'ai la passion des animaux dans le sang. J'aimerais faire se travail à temps pleins. Lorsque j'aurai réunis assez d'argents, j'aimerais ouvrir mon propre studio de photographie animalière et faire du pet sitting en plus de cela. Ce serait mon plus grand rêve. Vous pouvez avoir une totale confiance envers moi. Je suis là pour vos chers animaux et pour eux seulement. J'ai toujours eu une connexion profonde envers les animaux, comme si j'étais destinés à les côtoyer. Je veux ce qu'il y a de mieux pour toutes les créatures de la planète. Si je pouvais adopter tout les animaux qui existe, je le ferais sans hésiter.

About: I have worked with dog rescue and foster agencies for 15+ years, including adopting from a shelter in the US. I have a large, fenced in yard and a home that your dog is free to explore while visiting. I have taken my pets to professional trainers, and have an understanding about behaviors, socializing and proper care for my pets. I have a 14 year old beagle and 18 month old Pressa/Border Collie who love to play. I currently work from home most of the week and will have time to care for your dog during the workday/evening or weekends that I am home. I have a fully fenced back yard with 2 resident (female) dogs waiting to welcome your family dog for the time you're away! Lot's of room in the house for your dog to roam freely.

About: Growing up, we always had pets in the family, and over the years I've cared for everything from puppies and kittens to senior pets with more specialized needs. What I enjoy most about pet sitting is getting to know each animal's personality. Every pet is different, and I like figuring out what each one enjoys most! I enjoy meeting all pets on their own terms. Over the years, I've gained experience with puppy training, recall, enrichment, senior care, and administering oral, liquid, topical, eye, and ear medications. I've also cared for pets with anxiety, seizure disorders, blindness, deafness, and reactivity, so I understand how important patience, routine, and consistency are. The biggest reason I'm on Rover is simple. I genuinely love being around animals. Since moving away for university, one of the things I've missed most is having pets in my everyday life. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while you're away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they're in good hands. As a student, I have some flexibility in my schedule when it comes to walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. On days when have classes, the only long day where I am out of the house for 8 ish hours is Thursdays. I do have a long break on this day from 12:30-3:30, so if needed I can go check up on any pets. As for Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays I only have 2-4 hours of class, so I am gone no longer than 5 hours. My availability is fully open on Wednesdays and over the weekend. Please see my availability or send me a message! :) My goal is to keep your pet's routine as normal as possible while you're away. I believe each pet is unique, so I customize my care to suit their personality and comfort level. If I'm staying in your home, I'm happy to bring in mail, water plants, and keep things tidy while you're away. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and doing well. Right now, I offer walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I do not offer boarding.

About: I am certified in a number of canine related courses including canine first aid, pet sitting, and dog walking and Canine Reiki. Along with my certification in Dog Obedience training from two diffrent training organizations, and a certification in Canine Psychology, I have had dogs and cats my whole life. I have also owned several exotic pets such as lizards and tarantulas. I am caring and trustworthy. I will care for your pet family as though they were my own. I have a flexible schedule to meet your needs. I am constantly updating my training. I am educated in a number of diffrent theories and strategies to keep your dog engaged and challenged so to help combat the boredom that so many of our pets suffer from when we are away. I currently work part time and am able to set my own schedule to accomidate your needs. Please feel free to ask any questions that have not been answered in my profile While servicing a drop or q walk i will follow your directions to the letter. Your needs as the client come first and with that I always like to set up a meet and greet before we start working with each other.

About: I’ve taken care of, walked, fed, and watched my dogs throughout my life. I have four dogs currently, they’re the best! Whenever my family goes out of town, I watch the dogs for a few days. I’m in charge of giving the dogs their medications, feeding them, walking them etc. I would love to help others looking for someone to watch or walk their dog(s). I am in grad school every morning during the week except Friday. I’m free afternoons during the week most days and most weekends. If you’d like a more detailed schedule, I can discuss that with you because sometimes I have appointments or meetings during the week. I won’t be able to bring your dog to my house, but I would be happy to watch your dog at your place! I will ensure your dog has fresh water, food at mealtimes, I will let him or her outside frequently, walk your dog, play with them, and spend time with them.

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’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.
