House Sitting Duxbury

“Absolutely amazing! Amy house sit our two kitties over a long weekend and did a great job. She treated our babies as her own, kept the house completely spotless, and overall had great communication with us through the whole time we were gone. I couldn't recommend Amy enough!! We will absolutely be booking Amy in the future!”

“We wholeheartedly recommend Kimberly as a puppy sitter! She recently took care of our energetic puppy, Banksy, for 12 days while we were on our honeymoon, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the moment we met Kimberly, we felt completely at ease leaving Banksy in her care. She provided regular text and photo updates, which we absolutely loved and looked forward to – it was so reassuring to see Banksy happy and well-cared for. Kimberly went above and beyond by taking Banksy to dog parks for socialization and exercise, something he thoroughly enjoyed. A huge bonus was that Banksy got to stay with Kimberly's own dog, Henry, who he adored! Not only did Banksy have a buddy to play with, but Henry was also fantastic at teaching him valuable dog manners. Kimberly's home is a safe and inviting environment for puppies. Knowing she works from home provided us with extra peace of mind that Banksy was getting constant attention and care. Her years of experience caring for animals truly shone through in her confident and capable approach. We were also incredibly impressed that Kimberly continued Banksy's training and even furthered some of the things we were working on. It was evident that she paid close attention to his needs and was committed to his well-being and development. We were so grateful that Kimberly was available on very short notice when we had unexpected issues with our previous pet sitter. Her flexibility and willingness to help us out were a lifesaver. If you're looking for a trustworthy, experienced, and loving individual to care for your puppy, look no further than Kimberly. She is truly exceptional! Warmly, Banksy, Brian, and Cece”

“Brooke housesat our dog and cat, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! She was an excellent communicator, sending lots of updates and photos throughout the stay. Our dog Bubbles and cat Mittens absolutely loved her, and she made them feel comfortable and cared for. Brooke is hands down the best Rover sitter we’ve ever had, and we highly recommend her services to anyone!”

About: I have a pug named chunk he is my other son. I would love to have a dog to watch so he has a friend to play with & be around. He's friendly & loves to cuddle. He also loves to run around but gets out of breath quick. I live in an apartment with a dog park and also a fenced in outdoor patio area and a big yard to walk around. I have dog beds, and crate if your dog uses them. My 11 & 9 year old sons love dogs & would spend the whole day playing with them. I’m currently home most of the time I’m babysitting about eight hours a week in the middle of the day so I have plenty of time to be with your dog. Your dog will be leashed outside and safe inside abc out. Whatever you want me to do with your dog I definitely do as needed.

“Caitlin was wonderful. She took care of Sunshine while I visited my daughter in Florida. She sent pictures and updates during her stay. I will definitely use her again.”

About: Hello! I’m Ava, and I want to care for your animals with the same love I show for mine :). I have experience with 80+ pound dogs that have big energy, to small elderly dogs that need gentle care. I’ve been walking and house sitting mainly dogs but I also have experience caring for cats of all demeanors (even the spicy ones that need some space haha) ! I have been an animal lover as far back as I can remember, and I love making animals feel the same happiness and joy they bring us. Rain, shine or snow I’ll make sure to give your pet the best experience possible. I recently got insured! But I keep my rates in line with other walkers. I don’t think keeping you, myself & your pet safe should come at an outrageous price. 🐾 I adapt to all dog’s demeanors. Whether they love an energetic playmate or are just needing someone to give them some love while you’re away, I’ll accommodate to what they need. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby soon! Pet care has a big place in my heart, so I set aside a lot of time to do it :) Monday - Friday, 6am - 8pm. But if needed I can stretch the hours to make time for your animals! I am willing to take your pup to your favorite places to walk if you want them to have an extra scenic experience on a path in the woods or park. I drive a Subaru Outback with accommodations for taking large and small dogs. Whether in the house or on a leash I will provide your pet the best experience possible, and provide my own doggie bags for walks!

About: I have owned three small rescue dogs-a Chihuahua Basenji girl, and two Shih-Tzu boys. I have always loved animals and still own many of my dog books from childhood. I have also pet sat for many larger dogs-labs, terrier and doodles :) I have flexibility with days during the week and have my schedule posted ahead of time! My schedule varies week by week and I am unavailable every third weekend As I have my own fur baby, I completely understand the level of care they deserve and their home! That is the top priority always.

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love and care for your animal. I treat them as my own. Every walk or check in is with love and care! I have cat sit and dog sit and walked for many years! I am currently a free lancer and a bartender on the weekends. My schedule varies each week but I would definitely make sure I am 100% available before committing to a sit! I have my own car if needed to drive anywhere. I live near the beach and we can go for beach walks. I have a cat of my own. Make sure they have a comfy place food and water always available. Always there when needed. Pets and cuddles always!!

“Claire was great! She helped us out on short notice for dog sitting at our home for a long weekend. She was great with our dog, playing with her in the yard, and following her routine. She sent me updates throughout the stay - both pictures and messages. She was very respectful of our home, leaving it spotless.”

“Chandler took good care of my kitties and was kind enough to do an extra emergency drop in to ease my nerves! It was easy to communicate with and book with Chandler.”

“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.”

About: I used to pet sit my friends’ dogs, cats, (ducks once!) on the weekend or if they worked night shift down in Florida. I have since moved to Massachusetts. I have always had dogs, and I love reptiles, but please no poisonous ones! I work full time but I am free on weekends and holidays. I won’t be traveling for Thanksgiving or Christmas so I will be available locally. I live in an apartment, I have a small Pomeranian to keep your pet company if needed. For larger pets, I prefer your home for my pet’s safety and your pet’s comfort.

“Taylor was awesome! Super communicative the before and during the stay which was incredibly appreciated! She sent great pictures and videos of the animals and even took my dog to the dog park and on a hike! I was very nervous and she made me feel completely at ease, 10/10 would book Taylor again!”

“Rebecca is THE BEST and such a life saver!!! I cannot say enough good things! First, the sitter we were suppose to have canceled on us a week before we were going on vacation. I was in full panic when I found Rebecca on Rover. She got back to me very quickly and eased my anxious mind by answering my million questions. We set up a meet and greet and my shy great dane went right up to her like they were long lost friends! Both of my pups were so comfortable from the very start. The original sitting was suppose to be 5 nights. Because of the snow storm (January 25-26) our flight was canceled and Rebecca was luckily available to accommodate us by staying for 3 additional nights last minute! I received pictures and updates frequently with all the silly things our pups were up to. Without a doubt, I know they were spoiled and loved on while we were gone. I could not have asked for a better experience for us or our pups. Thank you again for being the best! Dot and Echo miss you a ton already and can't wait to see you again!”

About: Due to my current employment situation, I have lots of schedule flexibility to suit the needs of your animals. I have been caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and sizes since I was young and have done it on a more regular basis over the past 8 years. I have grown up always having dogs and cats so I am extremely familiar with caring for animals. Even the most skeptical dogs quickly trust me for my loving nature. I am always prepared to pay full attention to any animals in my care and to respond to any challenging situations that may come up. I truly love animals and am very excited at the opportunity to help others with the care and support of their furry friends! Your pet’s day will look exactly like it does when you’re with them! I pride myself on helping dogs to keep their routines. I am happy to offer whatever enrichment activities we discuss for your pet such as car rides, dog parks, play dates etc but also understand these are not for every dog so will never do anything we didn’t explicitly clear. I am very adamant about understanding the ways you keep your pet safe at home. I am extremely cautious when coming and going. I keep an eye on all pets in yards, even when they don’t typically require this. In 15 years of dogsitting, I have only had one dog slip away from me and handled it quickly and safely.

About: I've cared for both Dogs and Cats for over 15 years including volunteer work, paid sitting, and personal pet care. I have a passion for making pets feel safe and comfortable in the absence of their owners. I work full-time, but available for early morning, midday, and post-work walks and care. I am available on most weekends, and can stay overnight if needed. I walk, feed, play with, and administer medication as needed for Dogs and Cats. I am patient with all pets, and easily accommodate any special treatment needs.

About: With more than 15 years of hands-on experience in the canine industry, I bring far more than a love for dogs to every service I provide. I’m the owner and founder of The Canine Legacy LLC, a professional canine care and education business, as well as the founder and owner of Dog Moms of the South Shore, a community of over 5,000 local dog owners. I’ve invested thousands of dollars into my professional education, certifications and continuing development because I believe exceptional canine care begins with knowledge, experience and an understanding of each dog’s individual needs. My professional background includes formal education through CATCH Canine Trainers Academy, Pet CPR and First Aid certification, and ongoing studies in canine behavior, training and nutrition. I’ve successfully completed my CATCH coursework and examinations and am currently completing the final hands-on mentorship requirements. I specialize in positive reinforcement-based training, canine body language, enrichment, socialization, confidence building, leash reactivity and individualized care. I’m experienced with dogs of various breeds, ages, temperaments and behavioral needs, including puppies, senior dogs and those requiring additional patience or specialized handling. Through The Canine Legacy, I provide professional dog walking, structured walks, enrichment sessions, drop-in visits, training, and individualized canine services. My business is registered and insured, and I’m committed to maintaining high standards of safety, professionalism and communication. I understand that trusting someone with your dog and access to your home is a significant decision. My goal is to provide dependable, knowledgeable and compassionate care while giving you complete confidence that your dog is in capable hands. Every dog deserves care tailored to their individual personality, needs and lifestyle. I look forward to getting to know yours! As the owner and operator of The Canine Legacy LLC, professional pet care is an integral part of my daily routine. Unlike someone offering pet sitting as a side job, I’ve built my career around providing dependable, individualized care to pets and their families. I manage my own schedule, allowing me to accommodate a variety of needs, including regularly scheduled walks, drop-in visits, puppy care, enrichment sessions and occasional last-minute requests when availability permits. I understand the importance of consistency, particularly for pets who thrive on established routines. I work closely with each client to develop a schedule that accommodates their pet’s individual needs while prioritizing reliability, flexibility and quality care. Whether you need ongoing services or occasional assistance, I’m happy to discuss your needs and determine how I can best accommodate your pet and your schedule. Your pet’s safety, comfort and well-being are always my highest priorities. With over 15 years of professional experience, formal education in canine behavior and training, and Pet CPR and First Aid certification, I bring a knowledgeable, proactive approach to every visit. As the owner of a registered and insured pet care business, I take my responsibilities seriously and maintain high standards of professionalism, safety and communication. I provide care in my clients’ homes, where pets can remain comfortable in their familiar surroundings and maintain their established routines. I carefully follow all feeding instructions, exercise requirements, medication directions and household preferences provided by each owner. I believe in positive reinforcement, enrichment and individualized care. I’m experienced in recognizing canine body language and adjusting my approach to accommodate different personalities, temperaments and behavioral needs. For cats, I prioritize respecting their boundaries, minimizing stress and allowing interactions to happen at their comfort level. I take additional precautions during walks, outdoor activities and home visits, including checking equipment, securing doors and gates, and remaining attentive to environmental hazards. I also understand the trust involved in allowing someone into your home. I treat every client’s property with the utmost respect and provide consistent communication, updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable and receiving exceptional care. My goal is simple: to provide the same level of care, attention and respect that I would expect for my own pets.
