Cat Sitting Holbrook

“Elizabeth was the BEST babysitter for my cats while we went on vacation. She was on time for every visit, spent a ton of time with them each visit, they loved all of the playing and fur brushing. She was awesome with the updates and photos. My cats got all of their medicine and the house was spotless when we came home. We will definitely have her visit again. We would give 10 stars if we could!”

“Juliette is everything we needed - friendly, responsive, on time, caring to our fur baby, and communicative. She also took some of the best pictures of Chessie we've ever seen! It was fun to see the pics every day. We had peace of mind when we were away and are looking forward to having her cat sit again.”

About: I have 1-2 years of experience of caring for dogs and pets throughout college! I have specifically cared for medium to large sized puppies and seniors! I am great at dealing with energetic dogs who love to play as well as chiller dogs who love to lounge. I am currently a full time graduate student at Boston University, but I am largely available on weekends and nights! I can house sit on Friday and Saturday nights, and can go on walks everyday at night! My apartment building has its own fenced dog park with room to run and play. I can bring my own pee pads, treats, and toys!

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.

“Jacqueline is wonderful. She is very communicative and we appreciate getting pictures of our pets while we're away. Will absolutely hire Jacqueline again in the future.”

About: My name is Alani. I currently work at the Animal Rescue League of Boston as an Animal Care worker, and I am also a student studying Public Health. Before my current position at the shelter, my animal experience came from volunteering at various rescues in Massachusetts and Baton Rouge. Through those opportunities, I was able to gain experience working with dogs and cats of varying sizes, breeds, and temperaments. At the ARL, my experience with companion animals has grown significantly and my skills center on force free, low stress care, positive reinforcement training, animal body language, medication administration and advocacy. Mon, Wed & Fri: Morning, Afternoon after 2 Evening Tues & Thurs: Evenings Please reach out if you need help during these times or have any questions! I will make sure to stick to your pet's routine and create a stress-free environment while you're away. I'm happy to follow any instructions you have to keep your pet comfortable and happy. My goal is to be attentive to your pet's needs and body language to make sure their needs are met with care and timeliness. I can also keep you updated with regular messages. I love taking cute photos of your pets, so you'll always know how they're doing.

“Kat was great! She looked after our cat for a week while we were out of the country. She gave us updates and set pictures during each of her visits. Highly recommend!”

“Absolutely. I’d make it a little warmer and more polished while keeping it natural: Emily did an amazing job taking care of my two pups while I was away for two weeks. She was very communicative whenever something needed my attention, but was also incredibly independent and trustworthy in caring for them. It was clear from the start that she genuinely loves animals, and I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in her care. I would absolutely recommend Emily!”

About: I’ve always loved animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I’m caring, patient, responsible, and will treat every pet like they’re my own. I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and get plenty of attention while in my care. I am currently enrolled in an automotive program! I am looking for a job where I can temporarily make my own schedule. I am available most days after 3:30pm, depending on location. I have availability everyday except sundays. My home is very safe for animals. I live in a douplex with other family members. I have my own floor separated from all of the animals. I live in a neighborhood where I can walk them, and I am very close to a nice walking trail as well! I do live on the third floor so animals with bad hips may not be a good fit!

About: As a former veterinary receptionist, I’ve had 3 years of experience helping care for dogs and cats. Now pursuing art, I’m looking to continue to help take care of pets. I’m currently working on pursuing my art career, so my schedule is pretty open for drop ins or walks. I’m occasionally available for in-house pet sitting. In the part few years, I’ve developed a real heart for animals. Pet care is so important, giving a voice to those who can’t speak.

About: I have done in home visits and dog walking for pets of all types. 3 years of experience. Tons of availability. True animal lover at heart. Many references available. I am currently not working and I'm looking for a few regular gigs to keep me busy. I love to walk and hike. I love people and animals in general. I currently am a homemaker with a fenced in yard, three cats at home, and a dog nephew who gets dropped off for at my discretion for either a long day of daycare or a sleepover.

About: I LOVE DOGS AND CATS! I have had two dogs in my life; one was a Doberman mix and the other was a yellow Labrador Retriever. They were both large, active dogs, so I'm used to handling rambunctious bundles of energy of all sizes. I can even give your dog oral medication if necessary. How about cats? Of course! I've also had two cats, and my current cat is turning 18 soon. The two cats I have had couldn't be more different. My first cat was very outgoing and loved meeting new people, and my current cat is, well, a cat's cat! So I am very understanding of the wide range of cat personalities. I have to give my old cat medication all the time, so I can give your cat oral medication if necessary. I I work part-time in Braintree, weekdays from 10-3. I can do early morning walks at the crack of dawn and late afternoon/evening walks in all types of weather. And, of course, I'm completely open on weekends. I will offer your dogs and cats play, affection, and attention (unless they're shy and prefer to be left alone, of course!). I'll feed them, clean up any messes they make, etc. I can offer to meet with you first and do a trial care (walking, playing, etc) free of charge so that you can decide if you want me to be your dog walker/pet sitter.

“Valleri was great! She was responsive, attentive to our instructions and needs, kind, and sent cute pictures of our cats while we were away. We would definitely recommend her and use her help again in the future.”

About: Holly is the founder and primary dog walker at Down With Dogs Pet Care based in Weymouth, MA. She has cared for animals since a young age and is licensed, insured, and pet CPR and first-aid certified. Rescuing her dog, Rumi, and training her inspired Holly to want to work more with animals. She found that reactive dogs especially respond well to her calming nature and clear communication style. She also has a senior cat with medical needs named Coco who is her first baby. Holly has a special place in her heart for the kittys too! With a background in Marketing and as a registered yoga teacher, Holly started caring for her neighbors’ dogs in 2022 while they were away on travel. Four years later, she worked with a local dog walking company before starting Down With Dogs in 2026. Her signature offerings include dog walks, hikes, small play groups and drop in visits during the day time while pet owners are away at work or vacationing. Holly love spending time outdoors and getting to know your pet’s routine while offering them the critical exercise and companionship they need to live a long healthy life! Message Holly to discuss your pet care needs today! I enjoy walking dogs or making house visits during the week days when my children are at school (mornings, mid day, and early afternoon). I’m also available for evening and overnight visits in your home on a case by case basis. I’m looking to find clients who I can grow with and essentially become a part of the family. For now I’m offering care in your home or visits with your dog like walks, hikes, or play groups at an outdoor dog park. For overnight visits, I recommend visits 3 times in the day: once in the morning time for breakfast and a walk, once again in the afternoon, and then a night time visit as well before bedtime.

“Laura did a great job checking in on our 4 cats while we were out of town for our wedding. Having her excellent communication, report cards and photos really put us at ease knowing our kitties were happy and well taken care of. Thank you so much Laura!!”
