Pet Sitting in Dedham

“Sarah was attentive to my cats needs and sent me photos everyday. I really appreciated the piece of mind she gave me knowing that my cat was well taken care of during my trip.”

About: I have a strong speciality working with felines and canines. Throughout the years, having pets of my own and pet sitting, I gained hands-on experience providing safe, effective, feeding, bathing, cleaning, and enrichment (including exercise) to varying animals through positive reinforcement. Additionally, taking animal behavior courses over the year's I learned a strong understanding how to interpret and respond to different species behaviors, such as fear. I then translated this knowledge working with fearful and traumatized canines to build their trust over time and to create positive associations in my personal time. I currently have a part-time job and can ensure to make your schedule fit into mine. 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). I take the care of another's space very seriously, doing my best to leave things as I found them. When I’m caring for pets, whether it’s in my home or yours, my main goal is to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. I like to keep their routine as close to normal as possible — same walk times, meals, and plenty of play and cuddle time. In my home, I make sure there’s a comfy spot for naps, space to play, and lots of attention. When I’m at a client’s home, I treat it with respect and care. Every animal is different, so I take the time to get to know what makes each one comfortable and content.

“Yanira took amazing care of Ruthie! She can be shy with new people but came out for Yanira, great to get the daily photos! I would absolutely book with her again!”

“Sarah is our go to sitter for our skittish boy kitty Jake! Sue is so, so patient with him and we feel so good being away when Sarah is in charge! Thank you.”

“Aly was amazing! She was super responsive, sent lots of photo updates, and made us feel totally at ease knowing our cats were in great hands while we were away for the week. She went above and beyond sweeping up litter and bringing in our mail, which we really appreciated. We would definitely book with her again and cannot recommend her enough.”

About: I have loved dogs my whole life and got my first dog 4 years ago, a mini goldendoodle. Over the last few years I have been trusted by many friends to pet sit. I understand that all pets require unique care and attention and under my care I will treat your dog like they are my own! I currently work fully remote and have a relatively flexible schedule. I am available to take your dog for walks during the day and have some availability on weekends as well! If providing care in your home during a drop in visit or walking in your neighborhood, I will pay close attention to any instructions you provide!

“Thanks for taking great care of Sheldon”

“We use Holly nearly every time we go away and she’s always reliable! She goes the extra mile to make sure the cats are cared for and does an amazing job tidying up the cat food trash and litter. Thank you Holly!!”

About: I grew up in a home with dogs, cats, bunnies, hens and roosters. I have never lived without caring for an animal! I love being outside, going for walks, playing and gardening. I am a mom of two school-aged boys and a proud owner of two tuxedo kitties whom we adopted nine years ago. I work part-time in the afternoons as an outdoor preschool art specialist. I am free between 9:30 am, and 1 pm everyday, and Wednesday and Thursday until 3 pm! I may also have early evenings free starting at the end of June. I have plenty of time in my schedule to help you care for your animals. Looking forward to meeting them! I am fun, gentle, playful and caring, and have a good instinct for what dogs and cats need. I can read body language and am sensitive to energy. I look forward to learning more about your pets from you, getting to know them and forging a relationship.

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: Hi! I’m a full-time dog handler with Boston for the Dogs, and your pup’s new favorite human. I’ve got real-world experience with: Basic obedience & leash skills Light socialization for shy or rowdy pups Solo walks, group walks, and pack hikes all over the city I’ve raised and worked with dogs my whole life — so when yours is with me, they’re treated like family. I show up on time, read the vibe, and make sure your dog feels safe, seen, and totally spoiled (in the right ways). Let’s make your life easier — and your dog’s a lot more fun. I’m a full-time dog handler, so pet care is already built into my daily routine — making sure animals are safe, happy, and cared for is second nature. I offer part-time pet sitting from my home, and I’m available for longer stays if I’m caring for your pup in your home. I also do afternoon drop-ins, weekday and weekend walks, and morning let-outs before 9 AM. Whether I’m stopping by or staying over, I follow your instructions to a T — feeding, meds, crate time, you name it. Your dog gets daily exercise, lots of love, and the kind of attention that makes them feel like you're still home. You can count on me to provide reliable, attentive care and maintain the standards your pet is used to.

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.

“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.)”
