House Sitting in Duxbury

“Hannah was great with the kids. They took to her right away and settled in. She listened to our instructions and gave great updates. She kept the house clean and the dogs were well cared for. They are looking forward to having her back !”

About: I grew up with dogs, cats, rabbits, birds and fish. I have experience taking care of my own animals and my sisters dogs when needed. Ive handled health conditions, tank maintenance and im good with managing feeding and care schedules and keeping animals calm in different places. Im patient, observant, calm and I take pet safety very seriously and prioritize keeping pets comfortable. Im currently available and flexible and will respond quickly! Im currently unemployed so I have A LOT of free time on my hands and would love to take care of your pets! I love dogs and it breaks my heart not being able to have one live with me so I would love to babysit your furry friends instead Im in an apartment with 2 cats and fish! Im not allowed to have a dog but I can have dogs visit and love when my siblings dogs come to visit for the weekend occasionally! There’s woods next to my apartment and two grass spots in my complex perfect for dogs ! My cats are older, have no problem with dogs but are unsure about cats so I would keep them separate. I don’t have a car right now but will always use uber in case of emergency or to go to a pet owners home to watch there pets!

“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.”

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.

“Grace was great! Very responsive and flexible when our plans changed last minute. Our pets were well cared for and we’ll definitely use Grace again.”

“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!”

Jillian W.

“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.”

Kyle S.

“Dan watched our 2 dogs and cat in our home for 4 nights. The animals were all happy upon our return and the house was the way we left it. Dan was easy to communicate with. I would use him again and recommend him to friends.”

“Janice really helped us out and watched our 2 horses and dog so we could go to a Red Sox game while we were traveling through Massachusetts! She was really nice and trustworthy. Thanks Janice! Maybe our paths will cross again someday.”

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

About: I have always loved taking care of animals and wanted to be a vet as a kid. I've had experience with rescue dogs, feral cats, diary goats, a pet rabbit, and a singular lizard. I wish I could adopt all the animals, but that isn't reasonable right now. I am a writer and work part-time as a behavioral therapist for children, so my hours are very dependent on my client's availability. So to fill in the down time I love to hang out with my dog, and hopefully more animal friends soon! I know how it feels to have to leave your pet for long hours, and how much a quick visit or walk around the neighborhood can help so much! I don't mind high energy dogs or skittish rescues, and am just happy to help!

About: I have taken care of and walked German Shepherd’s huskies, and Alaskan malamute all my life and and Land Seers now. I can handle very big dogs and make sure they are under control. I do DoorDash and Instacart in my spare time but my real passion is taking care of my great four hounds at the house every day and night. I can take care of dogs and they will have fun with the other guys and also probably best to sit in at your house to take care of your furry ones there.

About: The most animals I've cared for at once totaled to 43 pets, spending two weeks with indoor and barn cats, peacocks and hens, chickens and guinea fowl. I grew up with Bernese Mountain Dogs, a tabby and a calico cat, and currently have a tuxedo cat with dwarfism, and spend time with family dogs such as a Boston terrier and a beagle black lab mix. I've done a fair amount of house sitting with older dogs. I used to work as a high school substitute teacher, and though pets are not the same as teenagers, I do my best to follow the habits of pet parents just like following a teacher's schedule, to give the pets (or students) the smoothest day possible. I work part time as a contractor in the music industry, so by planning ahead I can make time to give your pets the care and attention they need. Often when house and pet sitting for a long while, I'll make a spreadsheet with the pets routine on it to make sure we stay on track. I know that trusting others to check in on or stay with pets can be stressful experience, so I like to make sure I have as much detail from the pet parent as I can so they can feel comfortable knowing all needs are being met.

“This is the second time I’ve booked Rebecca to stay with my dog. My dog loves her and she is great at providing updates throughout the trip. She goes the extra mile with everything and has become my go-to sitter!”

Katie V.

“Mike was fantastic. Very responsive, responsible. House and pups looked great on our return. Will definitely try rebooking him in the future.”

Scott A.

“Sadie was great! She stopped by several times over the weekend to take care of my dogs. Each time she came by she sent me photos and refilled their food/water. She also kept me up to date with any issues that came up while I was gone! I would highly recommend Sadie to take care of anyone's animals!”

Colin F.

“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!!”

Danielle S.

“Julia was a wonderful sitter for our puppy Millie. She had very good communication from the start, was prompt, and took great care of our dog. Photos were sent of our happy puppy playing with toys and playing outside. She obviously enjoys spending time with dogs and we’d be lucky to have her watch Millie again.”

Kyle S.

“Duncan was super attentive and genuinely caring. He understood how to navigate the 3 very different personalities of our pups. Great communication and reliable. We look forward to having Duncan dog sit again.”

About: It started very naturally. Friends would ask me to care for their pets when they traveled, and I quickly realized how much I truly enjoy it. I focus on keeping pets calm, comfortable, and in their routine while you are away. I pay attention to their personality and energy, adjusting my care to what they need, whether that is activity, structure, or quiet company. With dogs, I gently reinforce simple commands like sit, stay, and down. With cats, I take a more observant approach, respecting their space and creating a calm, familiar environment. You will receive regular updates and photos, and I am always easy to reach. I am happy to take dogs to their favorite parks or keep things relaxed at home, depending on what suits them best. Most families want to know their pet is safe, cared for, and truly at ease. That is exactly what I provide. I work locally during the day and typically leave around 9, but I wake up around 5 am and spend quality time with pets before heading out. I return in the afternoon for a walk and check-in. Evenings include another walk and relaxed time together. Weekends are slower paced and mostly spent at home, giving pets plenty of attention and consistency. I offer both boarding for one pet in my home and in home care in the client’s home. I always ask for clear, printed instructions so I can follow each pet’s routine closely. In my home, I create a calm, safe environment with morning care before I leave, relaxing music, and access to shared living spaces while keeping other areas closed. Pets are always leashed outdoors unless a fenced area is approved. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow their established routine so they feel comfortable, secure, and truly at ease.
