Dog Sitting Dedham

About: Hi! I'm a recent graduate who lives with a senior cat; I have a lot of experience with senior pets, special needs pets, medication administration, etc. I'm able to exercise with and play however your dog likes! I've been pet sitting and walking dogs for my friends and family (and Wag!) for over a decade (dog in the profile picture is my brother's dog Kuma!) Pets bring me so much joy and I want to help take care of them as a community effort :) I'm here to build trust, please ask any questions 🫰 I am a gig worker currently, therefore very flexible—request me and there's a high chance I'll be available! I'm around weekends and weekdays, my own cat has plenty of alternate caregivers. I would not be able to host pets in my home, but would follow any rules at clients homes to make pets feel safe and regulated :) consistency helps them and me!

About: Ive taken care of personal, family and neighbors dogs and cats since very young. Ive also rescued cats since 9 years old. I have taught some of them basic tricks! I work a very flexible job and can fit in 3-4 hours from Thursday-Sunday! I am also free to pet sit all day Friday through Sunday. I have a fenced yard and treats at home and will crate if needed. While at your home, I am happy to follow the owners instructions and be wary of the dogs directive.

About: I have been a dog owner for many years, with a major preference for small dogs. Not only do I have lots of experience caring for my own pets, but I have sat and cared for the dogs of many different friends and family, as well as those I don’t personally know well, over the years. I am patient, loving, always try to have fun with the dogs, and always try to give them the best care possible. I’ve had dogs all my life. I got my first dog, Lukey, when I was young and he was my best friend. Originally got him for my mother to keep her company, but fell in love with him myself and made him my own once she passed. I’d take him through the woods on walks and we eventually became inseparable. He passed at age 18. Eventually I met a woman who had two dogs of her own and they became like my kids. I had them for many years, although sadly they are all passed now as well. Currently I help care for two dogs with my ex who lives in the apartment below me, as we are still good friends. I make sure they are well cared for and take them out regularly. I love to play with them. I take dogs very seriously as they are like family to me. I can currently work Monday-Saturday, with exceptions. I do have to schedule around some minor things early in the morning, and those take priority, and those can be discussed, but otherwise I’m completely free. I love animals and always try to give them 100% of the love and attention they deserve. I feed them, walk them, take them out and play with them, and always try to give them my best. I’ve always treated my own dogs as if they were my children, and I extend that to any dog I care for.

“I'm very thankful for Wanda because I was away overseas and my previous sitter had to cancel.. this was not a situation any pet parent should ever be put through and I was able to get ahold of Wanda who came to the rescue even without me being there to show her the procedure for taking care of my 2 cats. (Granted, I had a Youtube video giving an overview of the process and I gave her the codes to my lockbox and my home alarm which all went smoothly.)”

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover who truly enjoys caring for pups of all breeds and personalities. Throughout my life I've been so fortunate to care for three dogs from the days we first brought them home as puppies to their last days. I feel very comfortable caring for dogs of all ages. Spending time with and caring for my friends' and family's dogs has always been a big part of my life. I treat every dog like my own, giving them plenty of attention, affection, and exercise. I offer dog walking, daycare (at your home or mine), and boarding (again at your home or mine), and regardless of your pup's needs they’ll be in caring hands. I look forward to taking care of your dog! I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I can easily accommodate daytime walks, playtime, and love to have a dog-friend close by while I am working. Whether it's for day care or an overnight, how I care for your dog can be tailored to your dog's needs. I have frequently stayed overnight at the owner's house, including places pretty far from my own home. Several of the photos in my profile are with dogs that I cared for while traveling! Your dogs' safety, health, physical activity needs, dietary needs, and need for snuggling (or need for space if you have a less social or timid pup) are really what's most important. In my home you are welcome to bring a crate, your dog's favorite toys or bed, food/snacks, as well as anything else your dog might need. We also have a very large sectional that we bought with dog-snuggling in mind, but if you have any rules with your dog that are important for me to reinforce, I will absolutely respect that.

About: I’ve taken care of pets all my life, as my house has never been without pets, I’ve always loved cats and dogs, and I’ve dealt with the every pet issue in the book. I’ve administered meds, snuck meds in food, and planned mealtimes for each pets needs. I’ve taken care of 6 animals at once, personally seeing to each of their needs. With my lifetime experience, I believe I would be a great pet sitter for you! I’m currently working, but weekends I am free! My job is flexible, so I can work around schedules if needed! I can do an overnight stay or a daily check in! I spend plenty of time with play for cats and dogs, and assure each animal that I am a trusted individual. If needed I can crate your dog, or put cats in separate rooms if there are issues with other pets.

About: I have solid experience caring for dogs, and I truly enjoy every moment with them. For me, walks are more than just a simple outing they’re fun adventures your dog deserves! I’m affectionate, patient, and always focused on making them feel safe, loved, and happy. I’m happy to take care of your best friend! Whether it’s for a few hours, a fun walk, or even staying with them when needed. I’m here to help. I’m available every day except Tuesdays and Thursdays. I’m happy to adapt to your furry friend’s routine whether it’s at home or during walks. I understand that every pet has their own needs, and I love giving them the care and attention they deserve.

“Rose did a great job taking care of my pups! They were very happy and she followed all of my instructions perfectly!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up surrounded by both cats and dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets. I’m comfortable with everything from long walks and runs to administering oral medication and supporting more specialized care routines. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets for neighbors, friends, and families, and I currently work as an experienced sitter on Wag. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and needs, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pet needs playtime, structure, or just a calm and caring presence, I’ve got it covered. I’ll treat your pet like my own, and keep you updated every step of the way. I work full time, but I have a flexible schedule and often work remotely, which allows me to incorporate pet care naturally into my day. I’m able to stop in for visits, check-ins, feedings, and playtime throughout the day, and I’m especially mindful of maintaining consistent routines for the pets I care for. Pet care is already part of my daily life as a cat owner, so I’m used to building my schedule around feeding times, litter care, and quality time. I’m reliable, communicative, and make sure each visit is thoughtful and unhurried. I tailor my care to each pet’s routine, personality, and needs. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping things as consistent and low-stress as possible, whether that’s sticking to feeding schedules, maintaining clean litter boxes, or ensuring dogs get the walks, exercise, and attention they’re used to. With cats, I’m especially mindful of their comfort and boundaries. I take time to build trust, read their cues, and create a calm presence, whether they want to play, cuddle, or just coexist. For dogs, I bring a reliable and attentive energy, making sure they get safe, engaging walks and plenty of care and attention. I’m comfortable administering oral medication, following detailed care instructions, and handling pets of all ages and temperaments. I also provide regular updates and photos so you always know your pet is safe and well cared for. At home, I maintain a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment. As a pet owner myself, I prioritize safety, routine, and making sure every animal feels comfortable and cared for.

About: Hi! I've been around animals my whole life, and caring for pets is truly second nature to me. I've owned and loved both dogs and cats since I was a kid, and that lifelong experience shows in how I care for every animal I meet. What really sets me apart is my background in pet care and dog training. I graduated from Norfolk County Agricultural High School, where I took many animal science courses. I took classes in canine behavior, pet shop management, and animal science. I learned how to handle, groom, and care for dogs of all breeds, through hands-on experiences. I bring patience, knowledge, and lots of love to every pet I care for. I am college student spending the rest of my summer from July 8 until August 22 at home. This means I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m already helping my family take care of our own dog, so adding more pets to my routine fits in perfectly! I am available Monday through Friday and am very flexible throughout the day, so I can easily accommodate different schedules and needs. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s, their safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I stay in tune with how they are feeling, making sure they’re well-fed, clean, healthy, and getting plenty of rest and outdoor time. At home, I provide a pet-friendly environment. I’m also lucky to live next to a reservation with trails, open fields, and ponds and streams perfect for dogs who love to explore nature. I enjoy taking pets on these little adventures to keep them active and mentally stimulated. When it comes to pet care, I always treat each animal as if they were my own.

About: Since I was 10 years old, neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and care for their dog(s). I've stayed overnight at their houses to provide the requested care as well as visits during the day. Additionally I’ve hosted pet(s) overnight. As a teacher during the academic year, I am available to provide pet care before and after school during the week. I’ll be at my school for approximately 7 hours each day. My boyfriend and I live together in our apartment and he’s also able to help providing pet care. My weekends are typically open during the academic year with an occasional event. From mid-June until late August, I have more availability during the week to provide pet care. I am an active person. I enjoy running, hiking, and long walks to release energy, especially with a canine campion. I've also brought dogs to local dog parks. I enjoy playing with dogs and even lounging at the house with them. At my apartment, the shared backyard has a fence and an outdoor lead as well.

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs, learning early how to love, comfort, and understand them in a way that feels natural and genuine - and it’s still a favorite part of my life. I recently lost my dog who gave me unconditional love - we were best buds. Even without a fenced yard, I build safe, supervised outdoor time and regular walks into my day. My routine is flexible, so dogs always get the attention they need. I’ve grown up with dogs and always put safety first, creating a calm, supervised environment where pups can relax and feel completely cared for, even without a fenced yard.”

“Thanks for taking great care of Sheldon”

“Sean is a great human and a great carer. My dog is incredibly picky and always right. She will decide at the door, on the first sniff, if she is ok with someone or now, and she immediately took to Sean. He tracks their walking route and sends me the cutest update pictures. He has also been so flexible with my dogs recent surgeries. He walks my dog daily and it is the highlight of her day!”

About: Hey hey! My name's Victoria, but friends call me Rev. I moved here a couple of years ago now from Georgia, began pet sitting in April 2024, and it's currently my full-time job! I've been fascinated with animals since a young age, with about ~17 years of experience, mainly with cats. As I've gotten older, I've fallen in love with the human-animal bond, and have become passionate about their care and respecting each one the way they deserve. Regardless of your pet's personality, preferences, or needs, I'm excited to meet, care, and accommodate your little darling with the same love as you would! I hope to hear from you soon 😊! As this is my full-time job, I'm capable of prioritizing my schedule to work for you and your sweetheart(s). I'm always sure to communicate if something may come up during your booking, such as other gigs or obligations outside of work, that way there's total clarity on where and when I'll be in relation to your pet(s). If you're not sure, please feel welcome to ask! If I can fit them into my schedule, even on short-notice or alongside another sweetie, I'm more than happy to see what I can do. I've got the kind of guest attitude you can expect from a typical Southerner! I take the care of another's space very seriously, doing my best to leave things as I found them, and due to a background in housekeeping it's not uncommon for me to do some cleaning before I leave. You can trust to come back to your home just as you left it, if not with less dust than before!

“Megan is awesome!! She’s done drop in visits for my cats in a few occasions and is super attentive. She really goes above and beyond to make sure they are well cared for while I’m away!! Definitely recommend booking with her!”

I currently have a very flexible schedule, so I will most likely be available any day of the week and anytime for you and your dog's needs. I promise to be respectful of both your dogs and your home.
