House Sitting East Boston

“Jean and Tom L. House sitting - August 15, 2025 Five Stars. Lauren was outstanding. She took exceptional care of Our Bischone, Rosie. It was the first time we had a non-family member watch our dog. Rosie is very skittish and anxious around people she does not know. However, Lauren took great care to set Rosie at ease. We highly recommend Lauren and are planning to book her again.”

“Juliana took great care of my two senior dogs. She was communicative, kind, asked questions when needed. I arrived back from my trip to calm, happy dogs and a well cared for apartment.”

About: Right now I have two bunnies at home but my family and friends always have dogs and cats around so I have a lot of experience taking care of both(also bunnies ofc), especially with elder dogs. I'm a very patient and observant person and animals usually LOVE me! I currently have a very flexible schedule, which means I can do drop-in visits anytime during the days, I would prefer dog walking in the afternoon more than the morning but that is totally negotiable! My jobs have been very communication/client based so I intend to bring that same level of care and reliability when looking after pets — making sure both you and your pet feel comfortable and at ease. I will ask you about their personalities and preferences before I meet them. I will start slow to earn their trust. Depending on whether they are energetic or shy, I can adapt to be playful or gentle with them too. During walks, I will prepare waste bags and treats if needed. I will also help clean their paws after a rainy/muddy walk. If your pets have specific toys you want me to play with them, I will make sure they have fun too!

About: Ive always had a great love and passion for animals! I grew up on a farm in southern california and from a young age all the way up till i left my family home I took care of dogs, cows, horses etc! I think my favorite part of all from farming was grooming, and shining the animals; and above all, making sure they were well loved, fed, and taken care of! I was very blessed to have the opportunity to be able to grow up like this and learn so many important skills. I do currently work part time as a server. I am currently in college as well, but I am flexible, through some mornings, some afternoons and some full days! Our family house does not have a very large yard, but we do live in a suburban area where there are lots of nearby parks and hills for walking.

About: During college I spent my senior year being a service dog trainer and developed extensive knowledge of behavior modification techniques for dogs, taught dogs’ commands based on specific client needs, employed positive reinforcement with animals, including using the “clicker training” method, voice rewards, and food rewards. I’m currently transitioning between careers, so I have plenty of time and flexibility. That means I can sit, walk, play, or take your animal on potty breaks anytime. I adopted two kittens about 4 years ago and have provided them lots of play time, stimulation, wet/dry food, and a water fountain to make sure they stay hydrated.

About: Apart from living with dogs my entire life, I've also pet sitted for several families on multiple occasions, and have volunteered as a dog walker at local shelters since I was in elementary school. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages, including my own parents insane border collie in New York, who loves the dog park to the point of unsettling passion and will never take a walk without scaling the forest floor like spiderman. I am currently work part-time and am a full-time graduate student. Fortunately, all of my academic obligations at this time are remote, so I'm quite flexible! Safety was always a huge part of my pet experience growing up, as many of my dogs and cats loved to defend our property or escape into the woods. From entering and exiting the home to walking, I am extremely cautious, always double-checking and never walking without a leash.

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, even though I didn’t have pets growing up. As soon as I could, I welcomed a sweet cat into my life, and we’ve been together for 3 years. Two years later, I inherited a step dog daughter, and caring for both has taught me so much about patience, play, and the unique needs of different animals. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I promise to give them the same love, attention, and care I give my own. I’m currently working full-time but have schedule flexibility! Can swing by mornings, afternoons, nights, and weekends. More than happy to accommodate whatever your furry friend needs! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I stick closely to their usual routines — from feeding schedules to playtime and cuddle sessions — so they feel right at home. I provide fresh water, clean spaces, and plenty of enrichment, whether that’s interactive toys, gentle brushing, or quiet companionship. Most importantly, I treat every pet as if they were my own, giving them the attention and affection they deserve.

About: I have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs and other pets of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me for years to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they are away. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, and pets with specific routines or needs. I always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and well-exercised. I treat every pet like they are part of my own family and always prioritize their comfort, happiness, and safety. I currently work part-time, which allows me to have a flexible schedule for pet care. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week. I can often accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on the day. I enjoy spending time with animals, going on walks, and making sure they get the attention and exercise they need while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions from pet owners, including feeding schedules, walking routines, and any special care needs. I always make sure pets are secure on walks and comfortable in their home environment. I’m attentive, responsible, and respectful of both pets and their homes. I provide lots of love, attention, and updates so owners feel confident their pets are being well cared for.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was old enough to care for my pets growing up, from German Shepards to chihuahuas! I currently have 3 cats also that rely on me to feed them, and care for them! I’m currently a stay at home mom with a very open schedule! I find animals very therapeutic, so I’m looking to help take care of your pets, give them a ton of love and give me something to do while also making some extra money for my family! We do live in an apartment but it has a fenced in yard, I often walk to the park down the street with the kids so we could take your pet along with us! Our neighbor downstairs has a friendly dog who could be a play mate! I have 3 cats, I can easily crate your dog if needed. My house is a free for all if your dog is allowed on your couch then they allowed on mine too🥰

About: I love dogs, they each have unique personalities. I do understand that our pets are very special and deserve great care. I am prompt and I will communicate with you. Recently I have dog sat and dog walked a pair of Samoyed a pair of dogs quite often. They love watching me cook. They can sit, stay, and give paw. Very routine and food driven. Great with kids and gentle. I have availability all day every other weekend and Tuesday and Thursday nights. I love dog walking, being outdoors. If your dog does well with children my availability is more open. I will feed them, give them water, give their medications, take for walks, and monitor to make sure they are not destructive of any items. Also I give very good pet cuddles.

About: I love all kinds of dogs—big dog person here. I’ve taken care of pups around my neighborhood for years, walking them, feeding them, and making sure they’re happy, healthy, and getting plenty of attention. Whether it’s playtime or just hanging out, I’m all about keeping dogs comfortable and cared for while their people are away. It fits in around my class schedule for school, usually early morning or late afternoon are the times that work best for me to care for pets. I have a very good sense of what an pet needs, and listen to the instructions the owner has left in order to care for them well.

“Adriana was great. It was our first time leaving our pup so we were a little anxious. Our dog had recently hurt her leg and Adriana made sure she had her medicine twice per day and made sure she didn’t go to crazy in the yard. Would definitely go through Adriana again.”

About: Hello! I am a recent Wellesley College graduate but I come from a big family in Austin, Texas. I've looked after dogs, cats, plants, and plenty of farm animals. I adore animals and have two dogs of my own back home. I have great communication and I am willing to send regular updates and photos to give owners peace of mind. I read and respond to signals that animals give attentively so your pets will be in great hands! I am looking forward to caring for your homes and pets. I am currently looking for jobs before starting grad school in the fall. I babysit occasionally, but I am often not away for more than 3-5 hours. My home is currently being renovated so I will not be hosting any pets there at the moment. I am happy to consider in home pet care after renovations are finished.

About: I have 12 years of hands-on pet care experience. I raised my cat from 6 months old and have successfully managed his weight, kept him active, and maintained his dental health through regular teeth brushing. I also care for my 4-year-old Shiba Inu, a breed known for being energetic and independent, which has taught me patience through consistent training, and attentive daily care. I understand that every pet has unique needs and I am committed to keeping them safe, comfortable, and happy. I am currently between jobs so my schedule is flexible to walk and play with your fur babies. I prefer weekdays but can be flexible to match your needs with my schedule I manage my pets diets, feeding schedules, dental care and regularly walk my dog. I am open to discuss how I can best care for your fur babies.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs my entire life. I love dogs and cats of all ages! I’m excited to connect and get to know your pets! I’m happy to work with you and create a schedule that works well for your pet needs. I am flexible with my schedule! We can find a great fit! I assure that the environment is pet friendly and that your pet is my top priority. My house is a quiet and safe place that is great for both humans and pets.

About: I have been around animals nearly my whole life. Having grown up in a pet friendly family, I learned from an early age the responsibility it takes to care for another creature. From there, my very first job was walking neighbors dogs as it was something that combined two things that bring me joy, dogs and walking outside! I have since served as a pet sitter for dog and cat households in numerous cities and home set ups. I am adaptable, compassionate for your space and your pets, and know how special it is to find someone you trust to watch over such important family members. I am currently a graduate student who has class on Thursday but is otherwise fairly flexible! I have a break in my classes on Thursday so (as my availability notes) so I can still do an afternoon walk but it’s a day I will be away for an extended period of time. I prioritize my pets above all else to ensure they get plenty of love throughout the day! If I ever think my schedule is an issue for the amount of time your pet will spend alone I’ll be sure to communicate it. I have pet sat in big houses and small apartments and have walked dogs in tree lined neighborhoods and city streets. Trust that no matter where you are I will take the necessary care and precautions to maintain your home and give your pet the royal treatment the deserve!

“Monica did a good job taking care of Bernadette. She checked in with me regularly while I was away.”
