House Sitting in Cochituate

“Eric has been sitting my 3 y/o rescue Beagle, Walter, for a few months now, to help with his separation anxiety. Eric is great -- not only is he understanding and knowledgeable of Walter's special needs, such as his fear of men and new situations, among other things, he's made some very helpful suggestions that have helped with Walter's anxiety. He is trustworthy, kind and reliable, and I would highly recommend him to anyone; you can rest easy knowing your pets are under Eric's care.”

“Tricia was fantastic! Took such good care of our dogs and house and was so responsive to messages and sent some many cute photos while we were away.”

“Julie-Anne was great with our mini labradoodle! She took good care of him over the weekend and he was his happy and usual self when we got back. They got lots of walks in, she texted frequent updates and photos, and he had a great time. We're already looking forward to them staying together again!”

“Sara was amazing! Our 11 month old Violet loved her immediately. We asked her short notice, to stay a few extra hours and she was super accommodating and responsive. Can't say enough positive things about our experience. Will definitely use again!”

“Lindsey was AMAZING with our dogs!!! Between the time we booked her and the time of the house sitting, one of our dogs unexpectedly and rapidly lost his vision. Lindsey wasn't phased. In fact, she was incredibly accommodating and helpful and even gave us some very useful ideas on how to help our dog further adjust to his vision loss. My only "complaint" about Lindsey was that this was our one and only opportunity to use her services, as she's moving out of our area. If you have an opportunity to book Lindsey, don't hesitate ... JUST BOOK HER before someone else does!!!”

“We hired Salina as an in house cat sitter during our 8 day vacation to the cape. We had no idea at the time that we had found a sitter that did anything but sit. She played with ‘Roosevelt’ with toys she purchased herself; she showered our cat with love recognizing his need for affection and at the same time, showed respect for his individuality and need for his own space and routine. Best of all, in Salina’s communication with us throughout our vacation she described a real bonding and friendship she and Roosevelt formed. We could see this for ourselves in the photos she sent us. My husband and I would not hesitate for a moment to place Roosevelt again entirely in Salina’s capable hands.”

“Ellen did a great job taking care of our 3 1/2 year old Labrador and our house. She was flexible on arrival and departure times, and maintained great communication with us while we were away. She clearly loves dogs and our dog clearly loved her. Highly recommend her.”

“Charlene took excellent care of our 13 year old pup during some very hot and humid weather. We appreciate her care and will definitely request her to stay with him again.”

About: I have had cats for about 12 years and just fell in love with them. One of my cats currently has kidney disease and I make her own food for her and carefully watch her. Both my cats are elderly now and cared for them since I rescued them as kittens. I have also owned dogs and taken care of them as well since they were puppies til they were elderly. I am just an animal lover all around. I worked at a vets office when I was in high school so I’ve always been very fond of animals. I find animals truly a gift to humans! I own two businesses and make my own schedule, so my schedule is flexible. I am able to work from home and stop in the morning, afternoon and evening and also weekends. Or whenever you need me to be honest. I have an extra room that I have made into a cat room with toys and obstacle courses and tons of stuff to do for the cat with litter box, food and water, I live alone but two cats do live here but would not enter the room. I can also go to clients homes and stay with the pet and play with them or stay over. I am respectful, quiet and fun.

About: 14 years of hands-on experience working with dogs, including basic care, dog walking, and playing with the dog since I do have high energy myself. I am a big guy 6'6 and athletic so I can handle the big dogs. I have experience helping my sister-in-law in Brasil who is a vet for the government in Sao Paulo. I work for a trade business so my schedule is flexible and during the winter my job is slow. So I am able to do drop-ins and of course overnights. I am very trusted and respected in my community and with all my recent dog and cat owners I have worked for. I am kind and respectful and good with animals

“Devon was pet sitter extraordinaire for a week while we were abroad, taking superb care of our highly anxious dog and high needs cats. Our dog clearly adores Devon and couldn’t have been happier in her care. Devon sent tons of photos and updates, which our family loved seeing. She has our highest recommendation and we truly appreciate knowing our pets and home are in such capable hands. Thank you!”

“Leila is truly a lovely person and was so wonderful with the zoo that is my home! She took such great care of everyone while we were away, followed instructions (we have a lot and they are all needy in their own way 😀) and was very respectful of our home. I wouldn't hesitate to trust her with the fur kiddos and my home again.”

About: Please note: I live in midcoastal Maine and am looking to pick up pet-sitting dates during my visits to Natick—specifically September 8–14, 2025, October 19-21, as well as Thanksgiving and Christmas 2025 (dates flexible). With several years of experience caring for horses, dogs, cats, rabbits, and rodents of all ages and temperaments, I bring patience, attentiveness, and a deep love for animal companionship. I'm especially attuned to the subtle cues pets give when they’re stressed or unwell, and I make it a priority to create a calm, comforting environment while you're away. Whether your pet is shy, playful, or a senior who needs a little extra TLC, I’ll tailor my care to meet their individual needs—and keep you updated with photos and notes so you can relax, too. (Sorry, but I don't pill cats.) Overnight pet care fits seamlessly into my routine because I work remotely and keep a flexible schedule. I’m able to stay overnight without disrupting my professional or personal life, which means your pet gets consistent company, care, and attention—even during those early morning or late-night hours. I build my day around the needs of the pets I’m caring for, making sure they feel safe, seen, and at ease in their own home. When providing overnight pet sitting, I prioritize keeping your pet's routine consistent and stress-free. I follow your care instructions closely—feeding schedules, outside time, litter box maintenance, and of course, plenty of affection (on your pet's terms!). I keep the environment calm and familiar, which helps reduce anxiety while you’re away. I also provide updates and photos, so you can rest easy knowing your pet is safe and content at home.

“Julia is an amazing dog sitter! We were gone for 10 days, communication was great. She definitely loves dogs and gives them the attention and care they need and deserve while their family is away. She handled an unexpected event very well, and wasn’t afraid to ask questions on how to better care for our dog. We will be using Julia again for any dates she’s available!”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for geriatric, diabetic, and epileptic dogs and cats, making me comfortable with special needs pets who require extra attention. I’m skilled at administering oral medications, giving insulin injections, and monitoring pets for any changes in their health or behavior. I also have plenty of experience walking dogs of all sizes—from tiny lap pups to large, energetic breeds—always focusing on their safety, comfort, and happiness. I currently work part-time as a Veterinary Assistant, which gives me hands-on experience with animal care and handling in a clinical setting. I’m also a student enrolled in an online Veterinary Technology program, so I’m always learning and expanding my knowledge about animal health and behavior. Because of my flexible schedule, I have availability on some weekdays and weekends for pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits. This allows me to combine my passion for animals with my professional training while giving pets the love and attention they deserve when their families can’t be there. Whenever I’m in a home with pets, I make it a priority to tune into their needs, read their body language, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. Every pet has their own personality—some love long walks and playtime, while others just want cuddles and belly rubs. If your pet is the snuggly type, I’m always happy to curl up with them and give all the love, scratches, and attention they need!

“Susan was wonderful! Strong communication, super tidy, and great care of our dog and home.”

“This was our first time with a pet sitter and we know our boy (labs - 85lbs and 70lbs) are a handful, but Nicholas did a great job! Both pups were tired and happy when we came back. Nicholas was very patient with them, sent us a bunch of pictures of the boys having a good time, was punctual and we would absolutely have Nicholas watch them again!”

I’m a very patient and will give them the time they deserve. I have experience in giving dogs medication if needed and can attain to any special needs they may have. Overall, there is nothing I wouldn’t be open to in taking care of your dogs! I work as a Middle School Counselor during the Months of September through early June.

“Gus did an amazing job taking care of Penny. She got so much exercise and play that she slept until 10am for the first time maybe ever. He was excellent keeping me posted on their routine and is great to work with!”

“Could not have been happier about the level of care Morgan provided for our three dogs. The service she provides extends to the house as well as she took in packages and made sure everything was in order. Will definitely book Morgan again. Highly recommend.”
