“I would highly recommend Amanda, as she’s a delightful and positive young woman who clearly loves animals and took very good care of our two dogs. She took notes during our meet n greet and made sure to attend to all their needs. We would definitely book her again!”

About: Ive been professionally working with dogs for over 10 years. I myself have a female husky at home, a male English bulldog/beagle, a senior tuxedo cat and a crested gecko. I have experience with feeding, medicating, pack walking, and monitoring large groups of dogs at play. I love dogs of all breeds. I also have experience with more difficult behaving dogs. I like to explore local walking trails and I enjoy the outdoors.My dog is very high energy so I know a lot about high energy breeds. I am very safe and knowledgeable when it comes to dogs. Safety is my number one concern when caring for your furry family members, additionally I have helped a lot of nervous dogs come out of their shells and become more comfortable with the world around them. I also have experience with leash reactive dogs Im very well trainined in picking up on dog body language. I have experience with dogs both young and old. I also am open to boarding at my home, once I have established a relationship with you and your pup. If you have any questions or concerns feel free to reach out to me! I have available, Friday afternoon-Sunday afternoon. I’m available after work on Fridays at 2pm, and return to work on Monday mornings. Which makes me available to board your pets during my my off time on the weekends. I have worked in the dog care industry for 9 years. I have my own husky at home and most of my life has been spent around dogs. I’m extremely responsible and always keep the dogs best interest in mind.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. I’m all about communication and getting to know your furbaby. Whether it’s at my house or yours I will treat your pets like family! I own a small cleaning business that keeps me busy but allows flexibility too. I’m available for sitting and boarding on weekdays after 3pm and on weekends. I can care for pets in my home or yours. I have a large yard with walking trails to the reservoir. Not fenced. I have a friendly dog who’s almost 15 and loves to play still.
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for animals and the genuine enthusiasm I bring to every pet I meet. I’m a proud cat dad to two cats of my own, so I understand the responsibility, patience, and attention that excellent pet care requires. I also grew up on a farm, which gave me hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals beyond just cats and dogs. That background taught me how to read animal behavior, stay calm in different situations, and provide dependable care. Most importantly, I truly love animals and get excited about meeting new furry friends. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, young, or older, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away :) I work a full-time 9-5 job during the week, so I'm primarily looking to pick up some gigs in the evenings and on weekends. That schedule allows me to dedicate my full attention to your pets when I'm with them and make sure they get the care, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I'm excited to work with you to find a schedule that works for both of us and get some time to spend with your furry ones. I do not currently offer boarding or pet care in my own home, but I’m more than happy to travel to your home and care for your pets in the environment where they’re most comfortable. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine, whether that means feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic care, cleaning litter boxes, or simply providing companionship and attention. As a dad of two very rambunctious cats, I understand the need for consistency in care.
About: When it comes to watching over animals or pet sitting, I have learned, over the years, very good techniques to have the most productive time with them. When walking dogs, for example, I create an atmosphere where the dog could have perfectly calm fun and go to the potty if need be without any issues or distractions, I also never show any frustration towards them and I always surround them with positive energy. I try not to force my control over dogs and I have unique ways of creating strong bonds by showing love in a very subtle way. At a very young age, I knew I have had a talent for interacting with animals and I have always showed a great deal of affection to them, hence my vegetarian diet. Since I was 15 old, I have been watching relatives, neighbors and friends’ dogs, cats and other types of pets. I have mainly handled dogs and cats of all sizes and I do not find any pets to be challenging, after a few encounters, I can get a pet to start getting used to me. I enjoy hanging out and playing with animals in the park and I find pet sitting to be satisfying on both ends.
About: I can handle dogs of all different breeds and love to treat them with the love and respect they deserve! I love what I do! I am currently working a full time job during the week Monday through Friday, so weekends work best for me to be able to take care of dogs. I can easily crate a dog if needed and will use what is needed at my clients house to be able to keep the dog safe and sound.
About: I have years of experience with animals. Animals are my passion! I love cuddling, playing, giving lots of attention, and walking. I have always had a way with animals, even shy animals warm up to me fast! I'm known in my family as "Snow White". I have open scheduling. I can give medications, oral, sub cutaneous, and IM. I love to give baths. I have experience with horses, donkeys, pigs, dogs, cats, ferrets, rats, mice, lizards, rabbits, fish, birds, and chickens. So if you would like someone who will love your pet like you,I am that person. I have love and compassion for all types of animals. References available upon request. Look forward to hearing from you! I love being with and around animals. I have always been very empathetic to all animal species. Whether it's spoiling them, or showering with love. Exercising, feeding and providing enrichment. I am available to pet sit in your home. I find that your pets are much happier and feel more secure in their own environment. I am clean and organized.
About: I’m a devoted dog lover and stay-at-home pet caregiver with a friendly, nearly 5-year-old beagle who adores canine company. I have lots of time to cater to your dog’s needs—whether that’s plenty of cuddles, neighborhood walks, or longer hikes—and our beagle has a calm, social temperament and has never met a dog he didn’t get along with. He even helps new dogs settle in at daycare thanks to his gentle nature. I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds and energy levels and tailor walks and activity to each dog’s needs (short, slow strolls or more active outings). Safe, attentive care and lots of affection are guaranteed—happy to discuss routines, feeding, and any special needs your dog has. I’m currently not employed so my days are flexible. Any doggos that come to the house will be joined by our friendly beagle. Walks are completely up to your discretion. I will do whatever is easiest and the most safe for your pets. We have a crate in our house that can be used if needed. We also have a yard that is not fenced in.
“Audrey is everything I was looking for in a sitter. She was punctual, courteous and mindful of being in my home, followed instructions perfectly and I know my two dogs were so happy to be in her company! I highly recommend Audrey!”

“Elena is AMAZING!!! She is so sweet, kind, caring, patient and very accommodating. Our dog, Sydney is very shy and nervous around people, but she quickly warmed up to her. Elena took great care of Sydney. She gave detailed feedback, updates and pictures of Sydney during each visit. I will definitely rebook with Elena again. I highly recommend and trust her! Elena is the BEST!!!”

“I trust her with my dog and two kitties - that says it all! I can see in all the photos she sends that they love to see her when she cares for them! She even made sure to clean up messes the kitties made on the rug while I was traveling. Her honest and timely communication is very appreciated. Highly recommend Madeline!”

About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was a kid. I love all animals. But dogs are my favorite. Dogs genuinely adapt to me very well. My part time job allows me to have extra time to pick up some doggy clients during the day which I love spending time with my furry friends. I’m also available during the weekend as well. I’m really sorry but I do not offer care/ services at my home. Unfortunately my dog is reactive so I cannot take that chance with her.
About: Hi, I'm D'Mitri - bookish plant dad and Legal Analyst seeking to foray into pet care as a fun and enriching side gig. I'm originally from New Mexico, where I grew up on four acres with a horse and three dogs. Since then, I have pet sat occasionally for friends and family but would love for it to be a larger part of my life. My partner adopted a sweet Cur, Auggie, (40lb) last summer who lives with us FT. He is mild-mannered, adores other dogs and receives regular socialization at both daycare 2x/wk and daily at the on-site fenced dog park and many green spaces on the premises. My preference is for small to medium sized dogs but do have the stature and experience to manage larger breeds as well. All ages welcome! We live in Dorchester (Columbia Point) with my boyfriend of nine years in a complex along on the Harbor Walk. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I look forward to hearing from you! I WFH and the nature is my work is largely project-based, which affords me a lot of flexibility. On the average day, I wake at 6 and am in bed by 10:30. My partner and I live in a standard 1BR but our apartment complex is unique for the abundance of green space it offers - and even a dog park. Just right outside our front door is a huge lawn where others can often be spotted exercising their pets. I am also open to caring for your pets in the comfort of your own home! Rest assured that they will be cared for to your exact specifications and with lots of love.
“Jessica was a wonderful cat sitter, very kind and communicative. She went above and beyond, often staying later than needed and I came home to a very happy and well groomed cat. She even washed his dishes…totally not needed but so appreciated. I would definitely book with her again!”

“Pamela was great! Very responsive to messages and great with check-ins and pictures of my very anxious dog! I'd highly recommend Pam and ask her to watch Daisy again!!”

About: I am a trustworthy cat sitter. I’ve rescued two cats, and I will love and care for your cat. You and your cat will be happy. I also love the pups and I’m more than happy to take care of them! Every animal in my care will always have a special place I’m currently a student and work two part-time jobs. I can care for your cat on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays because those are my free days and this is my side hustle I have an apartment and the cats will be fed and shown a lot of love there’s also space red them to play a window for them to Birdwatch and other resources like cat trees scratchers
About: I am experience with caring for several types of dogs and cats in size and breed. I have cared for multiple dogs at the same time and meeting their needs at any age. My greatest strength is my patience and my willingness to communicate with your pets to ensure a working relationship that is based on love and care. I work remotely at home, and I am happy to take breaks to care for pets in between my work. I am flexible with early morning walks to late evening strolls. I love walking through parks and working at pet friendly cafes. I am transparent with my work. Working at clients home is something I understand that must be rooted in trust and care. I respect people's property and schedule to the best of my ability. I am actively aware of the need for communication, and I place that trait above all.
About: I have experience working with dogs and cats through pet sitting and hospital experience. I have owned dogs for the past 16 years, chinchillas for the past 5 years, and hedgehogs for the past 7 years. I am able to detect symptoms and abnormalities that may require medical attention. I enjoy bringing my pets to a variety of places such as state parks, pet stores and public pet events. I am available most weekdays and weekends. I do not mind staying over for overnight care. My time is pretty flexible for now and I am able to drive to locations within an hour radius using my own car. I have a finished basement that would be used for the pets I care for. It has a bathroom with a hand held shower for easy bathing. I have a crate available for use for dogs under 30 pounds. The basement also has direct access to the back yard for easier potty times. The temperature in the basement is cool during the summer. In the winter the temperature would be adjusted using an electric fire place. Dogs would get enrichment through daily walks, puzzle toys and trick training. Cats would have access to the whole basement to free roam but will not have access to outdoors.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hingham
My husbands work scheduule often changes so when we needed someone on short notice Alaina responed quickly and was so happy to jump in and help. When she came to meet Poppy she got right down on the floor to play with her and engaged her wholeheartedly at Poppy's toy obsessed level of enthusiasm for playing fetch, tug and release. She kept it upbeat and fun ensuring that Poppy would right away decide that she liked this new person. We look forward to having Alaina come again and so does Poppy!

Valerie was very reliable and provided great care for our Great Dane and Shiba Inu while we were out of state for 5 days. Not only that, but she made herself available for us in a last-minute situation which we were very grateful for. She communicated well with us whenever there were issues or concerns. Our dogs were very content when we arrived at home which proves how well they were taken care of😊 We will definitely be reaching out to Valerie again for help with our dogs!
