About: I absolutely love dogs, and since I don’t have one of my own, your pet enjoys my full attention in a calm, loving environment. ✨ Flexible Work-From-Home Schedule – I work remotely most of the week and can easily move around my office days to fit your needs. 🔎 Highly Attentive - I might be the most detail-oriented person you'll meet! I catch the little things, follow your instructions carefully, and make sure your pet feels safe and cared for. 📸 Consistent Updates – Expect regular photos and communication for total peace of mind. I’m home most of the week thanks to my flexible work schedule, so your pet will get plenty of attention and companionship. I’m happy to help with regular visits, check-ins throughout the day, or even last-minute requests. I understand the importance of health and safety for both you and your pet, and I am fully vaccinated against COVID-19. I work at a college in educational technology and faculty support, a role that requires organization, attention to detail, and clear communication. I bring those same skills to caring for your pet, focusing on making them feel safe, happy, and loved while I’m with them. I’m highly observant and attentive, following instructions closely and noticing even small changes in behavior. I treat your home with respect and provide calm, consistent companionship, keeping you informed so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in good hands.

About: Forever animal lover! I’ve always had and have loved being around animals. From playing, to walks, to feeding, happy to help you take care of your four legged loved ones. I have availability to help out with your pets in the evenings and on weekends! I’m available to stop by and play, feed, walk or just keep them company.

About: Your dog will have an unmatched experience with me and my sweet pup, Tina! I work from home full time, so your dog will always have company, structure, and plenty of attention throughout the day. We live just minutes from the arboretum which means long, enriching walks are part of our daily routine. My pup, Tina, is 4 years old and very chill. She loves having a friend around and I’m committed to making every dog feel safe, loved, and at home and making sure they get the care and affection they deserve.

“Jennifer is consistently great with my elderly cat and his multiple meds. She's also been able to roll with the punches when various things have gone wrong while I'm away, and although I wish she hadn't had to deal with any issues, it does make me feel very confident that she can handle whatever comes up!”

About: I’ve taken care of my family pet throughout her life from puppy to end of life. I am familiar with feeding, walking, providing medicine, and general companionship! I am currently in graduate school and working part-time at a yoga studio!! I look forward to adding in pet care as another part time job to get to spend time walking outside and supporting in your pet care needs! I unfortunately cannot have pets in my apartment but prioritize safety and privacy in visiting others!! I am very clean and always tidy up after myself.

“Jacqueline was great with my kitties! She was very communicative and helpful on keeping an eye on more than just my fur babies. If considering travel, you will have a piece of mind with Jacqueline caring for your pets!”

About: Hello! My name is Cynthia, and I’m a registered nurse working in primary care. I’m also a lifelong dog lover and proud owner of two wonderful dogs: Hazel, a sweet senior English Bulldog who loves naps and sunbathing, and Stella, a playful French Bulldog who enjoys playing fetch and relaxing outside in the sunshine. I live in the Roslindale area, close to spacious parks such as the Arnold Arboretum, where our dogs love going for walks and exploring. I have two children, ages 10 and 1, who have grown up around dogs and enjoy spending time with them. Creating a loving, safe, and pet-friendly environment is very important to our family. As a nurse, I am responsible, dependable, and attentive to details. I understand that every dog has unique needs, and I am experienced in administering medications and caring for senior dogs or pets that require extra attention and special precautions. I will treat your dog with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own. Communication is very important to me, and I strive to keep pet parents updated and provide peace of mind while they are away. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply relaxing in a sunny spot, I will make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and loved. I would be honored to care for your furry family member. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM at a primary care office located just a few miles from home, which allows me to be available and flexible. If needed, I am able to stop home during my lunch break to provide potty breaks, meals, medications, or extra attention. I am off on weekends, giving me plenty of time to dedicate to walks, playtime, and one-on-one care. Since I have dogs of my own, caring for pets is already an important part of my everyday life. I understand the importance of maintaining routines and ensuring that each dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own. I love spending time playing, cuddling, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I make sure each pet maintains their regular routine and receives the care they need to feel comfortable and happy. Safety is always my top priority. I carefully ensure that dogs are securely leashed before going outside and closely supervise them during walks and playtime. I also have a spacious fenced backyard where pups can safely enjoy fresh air, exercise, and outdoor time. As a registered nurse and experienced dog owner, I understand the importance of being attentive to each pet's individual needs. Whether your dog enjoys playing, relaxing, or requires medications or special accommodations, I am committed to providing loving, reliable, and personalized care while keeping you updated for peace of mind.

About: Hi there! I’m so excited to meet you and learn more about your pet and your current needs. I know finding a sitter can feel a little nerve-wracking, so I focus on being consistent, communicative, and truly attentive to your pet’s routine and comfort. I’ve cared for animals my entire life, from Great Danes to Labs to Frenchies to teacup Yorkies. I’m comfortable with senior pets and medical needs, including administering daily insulin and following strict feeding schedules and dietary guidelines. I’m calm, patient, and detail-oriented, and I focus on helping pets feel safe and settled quickly. I don’t currently have a dog in my home, so your pet will have my full attention and care. I work from home full-time, so I’m available throughout the day for walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. Dogs get frequent outdoor breaks and attention, and cats get steady check-ins, calm company, and routine-based care. I live directly across the street from the Arnold Arboretum, which is a wonderful, peaceful place for daily walks, and I’m also close to several dog parks for pups who enjoy more active outings. I have two children with me 50% of the time, and they’ve grown up around both dogs and cats. That being said, if your pet is not child-friendly, please still reach out. My children are with me every other week, and I’m happy to coordinate care to make sure your pet is comfortable and set up for success. I know it can feel stressful to leave your pet with someone new, and I take that trust seriously. I follow instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and any special care needs, and I’m thoughtful about each pet’s comfort, boundaries, and routine. For dogs, that means consistent walks, safe supervision, and steady structure. For cats, it means calm energy, predictability, and respecting their space while still making sure they feel cared for and secure. I’m always happy to send updates and photos so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. My goal is simple: your pet feels safe, relaxed, and well cared for, and you feel fully informed and supported.
