Dog Sitting in Charlestown

“Shantae is really comfortable with dogs. She’s patient and has a very relaxed mannerism about her. Benny was comfortable with her and he is a picky pain.”

“Gabrielle was an amazing pet sitter for my cat and I’m so glad I found her. My cat was having a lot of separation anxiety when I left for my trip, but Gabrielle took over like a professional cat whisperer and helped calm her and cared for her with her with a lot of attention to detail and I was so grateful! She was responsible, communicative, great with instructions and went above and beyond sending lots of pictures and updates for every visit which I loved, appreciated and looked forward to seeing everyday. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my cat is in such good hands. She’s been an absolute star sitter and I would highly recommend her!”

About: I have over a decade of experience raising both dogs and cats, having grown up in a multi-pet household. Currently, I’m the proud owner of a wonderful 3-year-old French Bulldog. I’m a big believer in continuous self-development, and I’ve channeled that patience and dedication into training my own pup, who now knows over 10 different tricks! I’ve also helped friends teach their pets new tricks. Because I have a highly flexible work schedule, I have plenty of time to give both my Frenchie and your loved ones the dedicated attention, structure, and care they deserve. I live in a secure, managed building in downtown Boston alongside my friendly French Bulldog, meaning your pup will have an instant buddy and a safe environment if they need a place to crash for the day! For your convenience, I’m also fully available to travel to you for drop-in visits, feeding, and neighborhood walks.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my deep compassion, patience, and experience with dogs who need extra attention—especially those with anxiety or special routines. I have hands-on experience caring for senior dogs, puppies, and pets who struggle with separation anxiety. My own dog, Sasha, has anxiety, so I understand the importance of gentle care, consistency, and emotional support. I treat every pet like family, and I’m committed to creating a calm, safe, and loving environment while you’re away. Whether your pup needs long walks, slow introductions, or just a cozy lap to nap on—I’ve got you covered! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I have Mondays and Tuesdays off, which gives me plenty of time for daytime walks and drop-ins. On other days, I’m able to fit in visits between school and work—and I don’t mind doing late-night drop-ins if your pet needs evening attention. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, so I’m happy to make it a priority in my schedule. I’m dependable, flexible, and always focused on making pets feel safe and loved while you’re away. I only offer pet care in the client’s home because I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable in their own familiar environment. I follow your pet’s routine closely—whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or administering medication. I respect your space, keep things tidy, and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. My goal is always to provide reliable, stress-free care that gives both you and your pet peace of mind.

“Melis was amazing! I could tell right away that she was excited to take care of my cat. She played with her, which made me feel really great and overall took such good care of her. I highly recommend :)”

About: I have experience walking, feeding, and taking care of my friends’ very excitable young dog along with their attention-seeking cat in addition to one senior dog. I work remotely most of the week and will have time to come over and check on your pets throughout the week in addition to the weekend. I am happy to come to your home to feed your animals, walk your dogs, and play with your cats as many times a day as you need.

“Jessica is AMAZING! She took great care of my precious kitties and sent pictures so that I would not miss them as much. I am so grateful to be able to travel and not have to worry about my fur babies!”

About: I am a huge animal lover of both Pups and Kitty's so your beloved companion would be in good hands! I grew up with both dogs and cats my whole life. I have a mixed terrier named Tut, who loves to play with other dogs. Your dog or cat must be okay to be in an apartment with another super friendly and cute pup. Beyond my pup, I many years experience with pet care with both my sisters dogs and cats. My building is super dog friendly! I work remotely on Monday and Friday so I will be available to give your pet a lot of attention and play time! For overnight boarding, I prefer the weekends so I can give your pet all the love and attention it deserves! I live in a pet friendly apartment so there is plenty of areas to go for a nice walk. Finally, there is a dog park next door to me so if your pup loves other dogs they will love that park! My building has a ton of amazing dogs which I love.

About: What sets me apart is my reliability, patience, and genuine love for animals. I recently helped care for and train two new puppies, working on basic commands, routines, socialization, and positive reinforcement. Friends, neighbors, and family trust me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I walk my 2 energetic pups everyday and love doing it! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I’m already very active as a student-athlete. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to plan walks, playtime, and drop-ins around my classes and hockey practices, so pets always get the time and attention they need. provide a safe and caring environment where pets feel comfortable. I follow any instructions you give me closely, whether it’s feeding schedules, walks, or medications. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel loved, safe, and happy while in my care.

About: I grew up with dogs and have experience caring for both energetic cats and dogs! Comfortable with playtime, walks, daily routines, and anything that keeps your pet entertained and happy while you’re away 😁 I currently work as a law clerk during the week, so my main availability is Fridays and weekends. I’m happy to be available for weekday visits after work with advanced planning, and I’ll always do my best to be flexible and accommodating to your schedule whenever possible. I always aim to create a calm, safe and comfortable environment for pets. I’m attentive to routines, feeding schedules, playtime and any individualized requests you may have for me to give your pet the best care possible. I’m reliable and communicative, and also happy to send updates and pictures whenever you’d like. I will treat your pets as if they’re my own, and I will always treat your pets and home with respect.

About: I’ve been around dogs for over 15 years and truly treat every dog like they’re my own. I know pets are part of the family, and that’s something I never take lightly. My goal is always to make sure dogs feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I often watch my sister’s dog and friends’ dogs (they jokingly call me the “dog whisperer”). I also have some training experience, including training our family German Shepherds from puppies to be reliable off leash, along with helping train my sister’s dog and my own dog that I had for many years. I genuinely love being around animals and creating a calm, fun environment for them so they feel happy and relaxed while you’re gone. 🐾 I'm currently taking time off from work so I'm very flexible during day and nights - happy to work on a schedule that works for you! I treat pets like they’re part of my own family. Whether in my home or yours, I stick to their routines for meals, walks, playtime, and any medications so they feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and exercise, and I always send updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for

About: Growing up I’ve cared for many types of animals, from dogs and cats to turtles and lizards. My love for animals is shown through how I will treat and care for your pets. School and work has kept me busy from pet-care, but I’m excited to jump back in. Rover offers the perfect opportunity for us to save for our wedding and still do something special that doesn’t feel like work. I currently work part-time from late afternoon to nighttime, so I have plenty of free time during the day when you might be busiest to watch and care for your pet(s)! I follow pet care instructions based on the clients’ preferences and needs. I will only implement the care instructions provided to me by my clients.

About: I have been taking care of cats and dogs for 10 years. I have also been house sitting many years as well. Love all types of animals! I have a full time job but am flexible to stay at your home and let your pet out. I can also take your dog to work with me if that’s something you would be interested in. Care for your pet is up to you! Happy to do what is best for your pet and your home. For my own dog, I love to take him on walks.

About: I've had dogs my whole life, and have been watching my friends 5 month old lab about 3-4 times a week since he has gotten him. I am off work for the summer so have plenty of time available to walk and watch dogs. I am very active and am hoping to take lots of walks when it's not too hot outside. I have a fenced in yard with a pool and a medium sized crate that can be used if necessary! The dogs love all the smells in my backyard!

About: Hi! I grew up with dogs & cats throughout my childhood and then got a dog of my own during COVID. Due to a breakup, I no longer have my dog & have been chasing to get puppy snuggles wherever possible. I have dog sat for friends and family countless time. I also volunteer occasionally at the Animal Rescue League of NH & also am looking forward to find a MA organization, now that I live down in MA! I work full time with 2 days in the office. The other 3 weekdays, I work fully remote & am flexible! If you live close by, I can stop by to let your dog out, take them for a walk or just give them some love for a bit. And of course, I’d love to stay at your home if needed (and could even work remotely from there if you’re okay with that!) I’m happy to accommodate to whatever you need in your own home! Since I don’t own my current place & have a dog living here currently, I am only offering services outside of my house. This will include- dog walking & in house visits/stays for cats & dogs. However, that means you get to tell me where everything is & we don’t need to take your perfect dog/cat out of their safe space. 🤍

“Emily did such a great job with Ziggy and Smokey! She was consistent, attentive, and super communicative. I felt like my babies were loved and well cared for while I was away.”

About: Hi! My name is Gabby and I’m looking for opportunities to walk/run with dogs in the North End (or nearby) between 11 am and 12:30 pm on mondays and wednesdays and any time 12:30 or earlier any other day of the week while I build my personal training business. 🙂 I have been dogsitting and walking dogs consistently since 2023 and previously from 2019-2020. I have watched a lot of different kinds of dogs and especially like working with active breeds who need to expand some energy on their walks! I’d love to learn about your dogs needs and what I can do to support them on their walk (or run). I’m looking to increase my running mileage this spring and summer, so if you have a dog you run with who needs a run, I can run with them to help them expend some energy!

“Rachel was so good with Fergus and was very communicative while I was away! I loved that she came over for a meet and greet beforehand to make sure she knew where everything was. Would definitely book her again!”
