House Sitting in Duxbury

About: I have never lived in a household without pets before, so taking care of cats and dogs (and fish) is something I’ve done my whole life. I’ve owned three black labs and multiple cats over the years. I especially love big dogs, but am a big fan of all animals! Besides Saturdays, I am available any day and any times through the summer. I start law school at the very end of August and will have less availability at that time, but I will still be looking for work! I love to keep my pets active and enriched, whether that means going on a walk, playing fetch in the yard, or going to the beach for a swim!

“We recently went on vacation and had the absolute pleasure of entrusting Hannah with the care of our pup. From start to finish, she provided exceptional service and went above and beyond to ensure our dog felt comfortable, loved, and well cared for in our home. Daily updates, including photos and messages, gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dog was happy, relaxed, and receiving plenty of attention. Hannah followed all our instructions perfectly, kept our home neat and tidy, and left everything just as we left it. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and we have already booked with Hannah again for later this month. If you're looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and caring pet sitter, look no further—Hannah is the best!”

“Danielle arrived on time to house sit our dog. My dog immediately warmed up to her. We were running late and Danielle stayed until we came back. She has a passion in caring for pets and we would definitely use her again.”

“Liz was fabulous. I have 5 pets, 3 main Coon cats and 2 yellow labs. They are a handful and Liz was awesome. When I came home from my trip. Our Pet Pod was very happy and chill. Unusual for having a stranger in the house. Liz when above and beyond! I will hire her again and again if she is available”

“Madeline was great! Easy to work with and very attentive to our puppy’s needs. She showed up on time to an early sitter request and took great care of our dog. Our puppy even whined at the door when she left.”

About: I have taken care of my families pets and my own dog for years. I love helping out with my families dogs, from feeding them to walking and making sure they are hydrated. I also have an energetic dog and I'm used to having a strong grip on her leash. I'm at college from late August to early May so my day usually consists of going to classes, studying/doing homework and spending time with my friends. When I'm not at school I work at a nursing home as a server from 4-7, but I can be flexible with my schedule. I try to work at least 2-3 days a week at minimum and 5-7 at most. I have one dog and she's very friendly with people and other dogs. I have a good backyard for dogs to run around in and go to the bathroom. I also live near the beach and two parks that are dog friendly.

“I could not recommend Shauna more! She stayed at our home with our pup for over a week while we were on vacation and our house and dog could not have been in better hands. She sent wonderful updates/photos and cared for our place as if it were her own. Having someone so responsible while being away made our trip just that much more enjoyable. We can hardly wait to have her back and I know our furry friend agrees! Thank you, Shauna!”

“Colleen did a wonderful job watching our dog for a week while we were out of town. She left our home extremely clean and was very communicative with updates and photos. We’d recommend her for anyone looking for pet care and house sitting!”

About: I went to Norfolk aggie for highschool, while i was there i’ve taking dog classes such as, grooming, training. I’ve taken veterinary classes, farm classes. I am currently a dog grooming for work. My family has also dog boarding and walking on rover for 10 years! i’m currently a dog groomer, my days off are wednesdays and thurdays. I can dog walk before and after work depends on the day! I will follow your instructions with your pet, send lots a pictures and videos. I will spend one on one time with them as if they were my own!

About: Something I think sets me apart from other sitters is my experience working at a doggy-daycare. That environment and the chaos that comes along with it has prepared me to take care of any dog of any size. Likewise, last summer I spent approximately 2 months unofficially training and dog-sitting a Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy, so I have experience in taking care of younger dogs as well. I also have a bulldog at home, so I have a deep understanding in what it takes to take care of dogs of that nature. Starting Mid-May I will be interning, so depending on my hours I may be more avaiable in the afternoon or mornings. However, that means I have every Sunday free and would be able to pop-in and out frequently. We have an electric fence for my dog, but she does not wear her collar (classic bulldog) so we make sure she is supervised at all times. I will not let any dogs play unsupervised and would only bring them on agreed upon areas to walk, or anything else owners permit.

About: I've always loved dogs and cats and felt very passionate about them. I have two years animal shelter experience taking care of dogs and cats. This included feeding several different types of foods and diets to pets, ensuring pets' safety, cleaning cages and kennels, cleaning litter boxes, and taking out dogs into the yard. I am available most days and times every week to care for your pets. I offer mostly drop ins and I do have exceptions like I will be going on vacation this month so just message me within one day to request a booking. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I pay attention to dogs and cats body languages to ensure their safety needs and emotional needs are met. I let pets come to me first so that they can feel comfortable and safe around me. I treat every pet with respect and if they do not want to say hi yet, that is totally fine with me I will feed them and clean litterbox, etc and they will warm up to me eventually. I watch puppies and young dogs very carefully so that they do not get into trouble and I always make sure the floors are puppy/dog proofed.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since before I can remember. Experienced in dog sitting, walking, calming down and grooming, with a wide range of dog types, and ages. I have a very bubbly personality, and I enjoy staying active. I’m currently working part-time one to two days a week so I have a very open schedule to take dogs on daily walks or sit when they need be. I’ve cared for pets in many different ways from walking to sitting to giving medication and providing comfort when anxious or scared. My dog in particular does not do well around loud noises so needs to be comforted during those times and cared for carefully.

“Olivia was very communicative with me throughout the weekend, giving me updates and pictures. She followed and and checked in for any special directions about Gus and Hazel and my house. Gus and Hazel love staying with Olivia. Thank you!”

“Nicole was great! She met beforehand to ensure everything would go smooth and took great care of our dog. Highly recommend!”

“Abhay was absolutely amazing. On first contact, his enthusiasm to meet and greet both us an our animals was encouraging. We knew from first meet that we could be confident and comfortable leaving our babies and our home in his care for two weeks. We were not wrong. Everything went as planned and our babies and our home were cared for perfectly according to our requests. We would, without question, request his services again and highly recommend to others.”

“Mia took great care of our 2 dogs while house sitting for a week while we were on vacation. One of ours is a new puppy, and she was very flexible as we were getting to know the puppy, too. She made time to meet our dogs beforehand and was very responsive during her stay and sent lots of pics! We will definitely be using Mia in the future!!”
