Dog Sitting Chestnut Hill

About: Experience with my family pet rescued seventy-five pounds German shepherd lab mix! Rescued him when he was only 4 months old. Love to go on long walkies! I’m currently working as I got laid off from my 9-5 job. Wanting to earn some money until I figure out my next career path! Fenced in backyard and live right near dog park within 5 min walk! Will always be watching and paying close attention. Open to owners needs :)

“Communicative and available last minute, gave timely and detailed updates about the cats. Thank you again!”

“Leanne was one of the best care-takers I’ve ever had. She did things to care for Dagny that I didn’t even think to ask. And my girl is selective, but she warmed up to Leanne and let her pet her from day one. Leanne is a fabulous sitter. I thank you so much and recommend her fully.”

About: I have experience caring for a Labrador and understand the importance of patience, exercise, and daily care. I’m happy to provide dog walking, feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, and loving companionship. I’m responsible, attentive, and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. I offer flexible scheduling for dog walking and drop-in visits. I will do my best to accommodate your pet’s needs and keep you updated throughout each visit. I’m happy to discuss availability in advance to find a time that works best for you and your pet. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow your care instructions carefully, keep doors and gates secure, and make sure your pet has fresh water. I will treat your home with respect and send regular updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing.

About: I’ve always been the one who my family members trust to care for their dogs whenever they are out of town for an extended period of time or if they simply need a night out. I also have had 2 consistent clients for the past 5 years who have entrusted me to overnight pet sit for their dogs. I am a full-time college student who has flexible weekday and weekend availability. I love outdoor activities like walking around the city as well as just kicking back and spending time indoors. I love any time spent caring for pets! When you entrust me to care for your pet, I will communicate with you by sending updates as well as feeding, spending time with, and walking your pet. I am also willing to stay overnight upon request.

About: Lifelong animal lover here! Growing up, I had a cat, hamsters, hermit crabs, and fish. I've also had fun experiences with rabbit, ferret, and tortoise sitting for friends! Nothing but glowing reviews, I promise. I am super responsive and always available via messaging. I work a very regular 8-4:30pm job and have plenty of free time to hang out with your fur babies before and after work. See my calendar for availability :) I will always do my best to follow your instructions to a T! Clear communication is appreciated and will be reciprocated!! I promise to take care of your pets (and the things in your home) to the best of my ability.

About: I have grown up with dogs all of my life, so I am very comfortable and familiar with many types! I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12. Whether it was family, friends, or neighbors, I’ve walked, fed, and bathed pets! Hi! I live in Jamaica Plain and am a registered nurse, so my schedule can vary week to week. This flexibility often allows me to be available on different days and times, including weekdays and weekends. I’m very comfortable around pets and have a calm, attentive approach to care. I love spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. It is my top priority to develop trust with the owner and pet! I love to create a fun and caring environment where everyone feels comfortable.

About: From dogs and cats to hedgehogs and bearded dragons, I have cared for and loved on them all! I have over 9 years of experience caring for the four-legged animals of neighbors and family friends. I recently moved to the Boston area, and because I run my own business, I can offer flexible scheduling. I’d love to be a reliable dog walker or drop-in visitor for you and your pets! I work remotely, running my own business, which gives me the flexibility to fit walks and drop-in visits into my schedule. I’d be happy to check in on your pet and give them some attention while you’re away! For walks and drop-in visits, I follow your pet’s usual routine and any instructions you leave. I’ll make sure they have fresh water, give them plenty of attention, and take care of feeding or other agreed-upon needs during the visit. I’m also happy to send an update so you know how they’re doing!

“Grace was very receptive to our requests and was a good companion for our puppy during a 1 hour drop in visit. She is also flexible about scheduling. We will be booking again.”

About: I am fully retired and do not work any other job. I am therefore free to spend a large part of each day taking boarding dogs to different parks for play, walks, or outdoor peace and rest in the fresh air. When pet sitting, I take as many walks as possible, with the owner’s permission, both when sitting and boarding. I take tons of pics and keep each owner informed of complete mental and physical health every day. I am able to board one small dog or one cat at a time. I have a large, open condo with plenty of room for ball rolling and play with other toys. If boarding, your dog or cat should meet and see if they are a fit with my cat, Tabullah, and my 18-yr old dog, Bella. Both are very friendly with other dogs and cats. I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family members have relied on me to walk, bathe, groom, , feed and sometimes administer meds orally or by syringe. I return my boarders and pets in my care at their homes in tip-top form to their human ‘parents.’ I have just moved to a wonderful condo in Brighton, Boston, very near a large Reservoir which is perfect for walking dogs and offers loads of opportunity for possible socialization and stimulation. I also live in a safe, stimulating neighborhood with plenty of beautiful streets to walk on. My husband, Joe, and I often walk together with our guest doggy and keep them well out of harm’s way. In addition to sitting and boarding, I offer short-term walking and pet visiting services. I can offer as many walks as you wish per day for your furry friends if I’m not boarding or sitting other dogs. (I do not try to combine jobs unless one or two 30-minute walks or visits per day can fit easily into my schedule during a sitting or boarding job. ) sit for dogs and cats in their homes, as well do some drop-in visits within one or two miles from my condo. I do light grooming ,nail clipping, bathing, and administer medicine or special care as needed (not as a separate service.) whenever requested as well, but not as a separate service. I am retired and stay home seven days a week, unless I am dog-sitting. So, when boarding or sitting, pets are covered 24 hours a day. It's a routine I love - as walking in the park, or at the nearby Resevoir (with the pups) is something I do every day regardless of whether my husband and I are boarding. I have an extremely sweet and friendly furry companion, Bella, (a 16 yr old puggle) to keep your pup company. I can easily crate dogs for short times for owners who wish it. We love to play games outdoors such as fetch or frisbe, and allow our canine visitors to sleep pretty much anywhere in the house in their dogbeds (this usually ends up being in our bedroom). My one cat, Bullah, sleeps pretty much every night in our condo’s office, and can be kept there if there are any issues with our doggie visitors. I give my complete attention to your pups or kitties. I adore providing my best care and attention to these important members of clients' families. I plan my daily routine around my jobs, with help at home from my husband taking care of my own “babies”! My husband makes my pet care business possible by taking good care of my own pets while I am busy with yours. When there is clear owner permission to leave their pet for up to 2 or 3 hours a day, and they live close enough, I have an occasional meal and a walk at home. Or, only occasionally, Joe takes me to a different location to give a high-quality walk or visit. (Often, I will prepare food and feed a pet during a drop-in visit.) That way, my own pets my best love and quality attention to those pets who have been placed under my care.

“Eliza is one of a kind and truly wonderful. When we had to leave our dog, Molly, for the first time, we left it to Eliza and there could not have been a better person to keep the dog and us well cared for. Truly appreciative of her flexibility and communication with us throughout the booking.”

About: I have had extensive experience caring for all animals! Whether for family members, friends, and neighbors, I pride myself on being a reliable and constant resource for them! I also have experience with complex care and medicine administration! I am a graduating undergraduate student matriculating into medical school. My schedule is quite flexible until my start date in July, and I am available for days and nights! I will care for them like they are my own babies! I am very detail-oriented, whether it is dog-walking or sitting, feeding, or more I will always be accommodating.

“I have a dog who can be difficult and she immediately liked Katherine. I'm very glad Katherine is visiting my dogs when I'm out of the house.”

About: Whether your pet needs a simple walk and some company or a little extra care, I’ve got you covered. With 10 years of veterinary experience, I’m comfortable caring for pets of all personalities, ages, and needs, from happy, healthy pups to seniors, anxious pets, and animals requiring medications or post-op care. On weekdays, I’m available after 2 PM for consistent one-hour walks or drop-ins. I also offer boarding and sitting, with flexibility to give pets plenty of attention and care without rushing through visits. Safety and trust are my top priorities. With 10 years of veterinary experience, I’m comfortable recognizing changes in behavior or health and making sure pets are cared for according to their individual routines and needs. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and follow all instructions carefully. For boarding, I provide a calm, clean, supervised environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and consistency. I also make sure doors, gates, leashes, medications, and feeding instructions are handled carefully so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands.

“Anna took such great care of my cat Mesia while I was away. Her love for animals comes through in all of her attention to detail and consideration. Couldn’t recommend more!”
