House Sitting in Framingham Center

About: Hi! I’m Linh - your pet’s favorite aunt. I know how stressful it can feel leaving your pets behind, so my goal is simple: keep their routine consistent, keep them happy, and give you peace of mind while you’re away. I’ve grown up around both dogs and cats and have always loved caring for animals. As a cat owner myself, I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy, patient, and attentive caring for your pets. I also volunteered at an animal shelter when I was younger, which helped me become comfortable with animals of all ages, personalities, and temperaments. You can expect plenty of updates, photos, and communication throughout your booking because I know you’re trusting me with family, not just a pet. I offer flexible weekday and weekend availability for dog walks and drop-in visits and currently service the MetroWest area, including Framingham, Wayland, Natick, and nearby towns. Pet parents looking for weekly walks are always welcome as consistent schedules really help pets feel comfortable and at ease. For housesitting, availability may be more limited depending on the pet’s schedule and care needs. I’m best suited for pets that can be left alone for a few hours at a time. If a date appears unavailable on my calendar, feel free to reach out anyway, as I may still be able to accommodate depending on the time and location. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow owner instructions closely, maintain consistent routines, and adjust activities based on weather, age, health, and energy level. During hot weather, walks may be shortened when needed to prevent overheating, with the remaining time spent on indoor play.

“Eric cares or our pups like they are his own. Our younger one can be skittish with new people but took to him right away. And Eric cheerfully puts up with our old fellow's senility and the challenges yhat brings. We feel very fortunate to have found him!”

“5 stars all around im so glad i found Tricia to watch my family dogs while we went out of town for the holidays. She’s amazing and the dogs LOVE her.

“Marlin stayed with Alyssa for the weekend and had such a good time! She sent multiple photos during his stay and took great care of him. Would definitely book again with her again. Thank you!”

About: I grew up surrounded by 3 dogs all throughout my childhood. I have experience with cats and dogs of all ages as well as rabbits. I have experience in elderly dog care as I had taken care of my elderly dog, helping him stand and ensuring medications were given on time. I have two adoring kittens who I’ve raised from 4weeks old, i’ve had cats all while growing up. I can do deep litter box cleanings if asked. I strive to not only meet your needs and make you happy but also ensure your pet is happy and feels loved under my care. I work early mornings and get out at 2pm at the latest, meaning I have the majority of the day to be able to walk, play, and spend time with your pet(s). We can soak up the sunshine and they’ll always get dinner on time. I love to play with your pets, ensuring they get their energy out and have a good time. I love to go on walks with your dog or play with them in a yard.

“Rachel did a fabulous job taking care of our dog while we were at my daughter's graduation. We didn't have to worry about a thing while we were gone. Thanks, Rachel!”

“Becki went and above and beyond while house sitting and taking care of our beloved tripod. She took such good care of our pup. She followed all instructions and requests and even took her out on additional walks. Becki is the best!”

“This was our first time leaving Ellie, our family dog, overnight since we adopted her about 10 months ago. Tristan was truly incredible with her--totally understood her from the start, adored her, and gave her all the love and walks she could want (and more). Ellie can be reactive towards other dogs while on leash but it truly is all bark. Tristan had no trouble navigating neighborhood walks, rewarding her good behavior, and gently refocusing her to him when needed. She zoomed so hard with him in the backyard it was like our 8 year old coonhound became a puppy again! Could not recommend a dog sitter more.”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for geriatric, diabetic, and epileptic dogs and cats, making me comfortable with special needs pets who require extra attention. I’m skilled at administering oral medications, giving insulin injections, and monitoring pets for any changes in their health or behavior. I also have plenty of experience walking dogs of all sizes—from tiny lap pups to large, energetic breeds—always focusing on their safety, comfort, and happiness. I currently work part-time as a Veterinary Assistant, which gives me hands-on experience with animal care and handling in a clinical setting. I’m also a student enrolled in an online Veterinary Technology program, so I’m always learning and expanding my knowledge about animal health and behavior. Because of my flexible schedule, I have availability on some weekdays and weekends for pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits. This allows me to combine my passion for animals with my professional training while giving pets the love and attention they deserve when their families can’t be there. Whenever I’m in a home with pets, I make it a priority to tune into their needs, read their body language, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. Every pet has their own personality—some love long walks and playtime, while others just want cuddles and belly rubs. If your pet is the snuggly type, I’m always happy to curl up with them and give all the love, scratches, and attention they need!

“Isabella is amazing! She got back to us so fast and was willing to watch Cali last minute for us for 6 days. This was our first time leaving Cali with someone other than family and you could tell by all the photos Cali had the best week! She was so loved and cared for! Isabella sends photos/updates daily that gave us confidence Cali was in the best hands. We already have plans to have Isabella watch Cali again soon! Highly highly recommend Isabella, would give 10 stars if we could!”

“Grateful for Juliana! Had a sitter accidentally double book with us and scrambled and was grateful to find her. The dogs loved her and she gave updates upon request. Would absolutely book with her again.”

About: I’ve grown up with animals my entire life. I worked my first job as a dog groomer and daycare manager for anxious and hard to train dogs. I’m certified in animal CPR and first aid and have experience giving all types of medication. You can trust that I’ll care for your furry friend just as well as you do! I currently work part time in the mornings, so I have all afternoon to spend with your pets! I have less flexibility on weekends, but will try my best to make times work with enough advance notice. I am a respectful guest of the environment I’m in and make sure to give every animal exactly what they need, as well. You can trust that I will take good care of your pet and your space!

“Julie-Anne was an excellent dog sitter. She communicated very well. Sent photos & gave us up dates. She stayed at our house & gave our dogs love & snuggles. We will use Julie-Anne again.”

About: I've lived with animals since I was 11—including 3 cats and a dog—and my mom has always adopted senior pets with medical needs, so I’m used to gentle care, giving medications, and adapting routines for older or anxious animals. I'm calm, quiet, and patient, which makes me a great match for pets that are shy, reactive, or need a soft presence. I respect animals’ boundaries, take their comfort seriously, and genuinely enjoy being around them—whether that means walks, playtime, or just existing together in peace. I'm especially good with cats and have experience with dogs who need space or structure. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I have a flexible schedule and prefer part-time work, so I can prioritize animals without feeling rushed. I take my time, move at the pet’s pace, and always make space for their needs. I prioritize calm, quiet, and consistency when coming to clients homes. I respect each animal's space, follow all care instructions exactly, and check in often if something seems off. My goal is to make sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and understood at all times.

“Salina did an amazing job taking care of our almost 14 year old sassy and deaf dachshund Bella. Salina spent the week at our home while we went on vacation, and I cannot express what a wonderful job she did. It's not easy earning Bella's trust, but by the end of the week I believe they were best friends! Lots of cuddles and love! The pictures put my heart at ease, I could tell Bella was being lovingly cared for. Salina had to also deal with a power outage for a day at our complex, and also some technical issues that came afterward, and communication was seamless. Also, our home was spotless on our return! Thanks Salina for everything!”

“This was our first time with a pet sitter and we know our boy (labs - 85lbs and 70lbs) are a handful, but Nicholas did a great job! Both pups were tired and happy when we came back. Nicholas was very patient with them, sent us a bunch of pictures of the boys having a good time, was punctual and we would absolutely have Nicholas watch them again!”

“Jody was the absolute best with our pets! She’s very trustworthy and communicative. Would recommend her to others and will be reaching out for future services!”

“Leila took great care of our little guy, who is blind and has special needs! She gave us daily updates and was so kind and responsive.”

Elise E.

“Nicole was AMAZING. She stepped in for us last minute to watch our pup for a night. Then when we were on our trip, Asheville was devastated by Helene. She fortunately had the foresight to send me a note before the cell towers went down, then kept me updated when she could after that. She stayed with our dog an extra day and a half since we were unable to get home until that time. Our home was clean. So grateful for Nicole and Renee!”
