“Finley did a great job taking care of my cat, Billie. It was my first time going out of town since adopting her, so I was pretty nervous about how she would react. Finley took the time to let Billie acclimate to them, and sent me lots of pictures. Billie seemed so happy and calm when I got home. I would definitely book Finley in the future. Thanks again!”

“Erin couldn’t have made our first experience with Rover better! She is super thorough and thoughtful with her visit notes which gave us so much peace of mind and she was always on time, if not early! It was so awesome to see how much our nervous pup took a liking to her. We will definitely be reaching out to her for our future dog-sitting needs!”

About: I have a gold retriever and I do know how difficult to leave them when you have to go. I’ll take care them like they are home. I’m full time mom, and my pup can play with your pup to make sure they won’t be alone. I’m full time mom and always home. Feel free to let me know if there’s any specific needs. So I can stay with your baby all the time to give them cuddles & play. I only accept a pup boarding at my house except you have 2 pups at the same time. My kids are pet lover too. They are more than happy to sleep with your baby if it’s needed.

“Thank you, Kyle, for the wonderful care you provided to Chloe. And thank you for accommodating our request to adjust the arrival time. We look forward to our next drop in visit and I'm sure Chloe will be thrilled to see you.”

“I have a 2.5 year old energetic lab mix and Neeka takes the best care of him! I trust her to come to my apartment let herself in to feed/walk Chase while I’m on short trips. I know Chase is more comfortable staying at home than a kennel and I know Chase will be well taken care of! Look no further if you are in need of pet care :)”

Marie R.

About: I am Fear Free Certified which is a training for preventing and alleviating fear, anxiety, and stress during pet caretaking. I’ve been around dogs since I was little and grew up training and taking care of my pet labradoodle. I’ve volunteered at a cat shelter for 2.5 years and am a facility manager for the shelter so I have experience with animals of all types of personalities. I also have two cats that I adopted from the shelter I volunteer at. I am a biomedical engineer so I work from 9-5 Monday- Friday. I’m happy to stop by to give your pets some love before and/or after work Monday, Tuesday, or Friday. I typically do pottery on Wednesdays but can be flexible if needed on that day! Thursday nights I volunteer at the cat shelter until around 7:30PM so late night visits might be possible. I am available most weekends as long as I have enough of a heads up! I know some nice walking trails around Waltham and would be happy to take your dog on walks around there or throughout your neighborhood. I also am comfortable with just giving pets attention and care such as food, brushing, play, and scooping cat litter within your home depending on your needs and wants.

“Hannah did a great job with our elderly, 14 year old, blind golden doodle. Not an easy task. She was prompt, attentive and flexible with our plans. Thank you Hannah!!”

About: I worked as a veterinary technician for 2 years in NY and interned at the Staten Island Zoo for 3 years while studying in college. I’m currently working night shift (6pm-6am) on a rotating schedule. Because I work 12hr shifts I have extra days off to check in on your animal while you are away. I am attentive to your dog’s needs and encourage direction or feedback of how to care for your dog. Whether I’m needed for a long walk or to house sit while you’re away, I’ll make sure your dog feels in good hands. I’m also more than happy to send updated pictures of your dog so you don’t miss them too much.

About: Lifelong dog owner, comfortable with any size. your pet's routine is always my priority. A lifetime of loving animals means your pet is in safe, steady hands. I'm currently available almost every morning except for Wednesday's. I am also available at nights to take care of your dog. I would love to be a reliable service for you. Our dog has an electric fence and is a bit clingy she doesn't stray to far. But I am used to working with dogs who like to wander and I am good at keeping an eye on your pet.

About: As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you trust. I provide reliable, loving care tailored to each pet’s needs, from playful puppies to senior dogs. You’ll receive regular photo updates, and your pet will be treated like family while you’re away I currently work as a health care worker. I enjoy taking care of everyone and want to spend my free time taking care of and playing with furry friends . My hours are short I am available to pet sit on the weekends. Caring for pets, whether in my home or my client's home, involves a tailored approach to ensure their comfort, safety, and happiness. Here's how I manage each setting: ### In My Home: 1. **Home Environment:** - **Safe and Comfortable Space:** My home is pet-proofed with designated areas for sleeping, eating, and playing. I ensure there are no hazards, and pets have access to comfortable bedding and toys. - **Regular Cleaning:** I maintain a clean environment with regular cleaning routines to prevent the spread of germs and keep the space pleasant. 2. **Routine and Care:** - **Feeding Schedule:** I follow the pet's regular feeding schedule and dietary requirements, providing fresh water and high-quality food. - **Exercise and Play:** Pets get daily exercise through walks, playtime, and interactive toys. I ensure they have mental and physical stimulation. - **Training and Socialization:** If needed, I continue with any training routines and offer socialization opportunities with other friendly pets in a controlled setting. - **Health Monitoring:** I keep an eye on the pet's health, checking for any signs of discomfort or illness, and administering medications if necessary. ### In Client's Home: 1. **Familiar Environment:** - **Home Visits:** I make scheduled visits to the client's home, ensuring the pet remains in a familiar environment, which can reduce stress. - **Pet Comfort:** I follow the pet's usual routines and keep their familiar items (like toys, beds, and bowls) in place to maintain comfort. 2. **Routine and Care:** - **Customized Care:** I adhere to the pet's specific care instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, and medication administration. - **Exercise and Play:** I take the pet for walks, engage in playtime, and provide mental stimulation through games and activities. - **Household Duties:** I handle additional tasks like bringing in the mail, watering plants, and ensuring the home is secure. - **Regular Updates:** I provide the pet owner with updates, photos, and videos, ensuring they are informed about their pet's well-being. ### Common Practices: - **Emergency Preparedness:** In both settings, I am prepared for emergencies, with knowledge of nearby veterinary clinics and a well-stocked first aid kit. - **Communication:** I maintain clear and open communication with pet owners, addressing any concerns and keeping them informed about their pet's activities and health. By adapting my approach to the specific needs of each pet and the preferences of their owners, I ensure that pets receive consistent, high-quality care whether they are in my home or their own.
