Cat Sitting in Lexington

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.

About: I'm a work-from-home dog mom with a big fenced yard, and my own high-energy Border Collie keeps me on my toes every day. I also have three cats at home who run the place, so trust me—I understand that fur babies are family! 🌟 Weight limit: 5-70 lbs. 🌟 Time: Drop off after 8AM. Pick up before 10 PM. 🌟 Daycare over 10 hours is boarding. 🌟 Medication or extensive care will be extra. I've cared for dogs of all sizes, from tiny Maltese to fluffy Samoyeds, and I absolutely love the puppy stage—those wiggly greetings never get old! Whether your dog is a laid-back cuddler or a high-energy athlete, they'll fit right in here. Your dog will have a blast playing fetch or running around the yard with my Border Collie! I'm also happy to reinforce basic training if that's something you're working on—I'm currently doing agility and obedience training with my own pup. If yours just wants a friend to hang out with, that's perfect too. Since I'm home full time, your dog will have constant company, regular walks, and plenty of outdoor time in my secure yard. I'll send lots of photo updates and treat your pup exactly like I treat my own. A meet and greet is required before booking – I want to make sure we're all a good fit! Boarding (cats and dogs): Available weekdays & weekends (I work from home full time) 24/7. · Cat drop-in visits: Weekends (flexible), or Weekdays before 8am or after 5:30pm For Boarding in My Home: · Rabies, DHPP/DHLPP and Bordetella vaccines are required. · Make yourself at home: Home is pet-safe and clutter free. Yes, pets are allowed on the furniture! · Crate options: I have two crates available if your dog is crate trained or needs one. Crates get cleaned after each visit. · Quiet space: An empty room available if complete separation is ever needed · Night monitoring: I use a camera in the boarding room at night so I can check in anytime · Constant check-ins: I work from home full time, so I'm able to check on your dog throughout the day For Cat Drop-In Visits: · I wear gloves while doing all tasks to keep things clean and comfortable · If your cat or dog needs to be crated during my visit, I'm happy to do that

“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 4 years of paid experience watching, walking, and boarding dogs. My family got a puppy 2 years ago, which I helped train and raise (I no longer live in the home, so no other dogs are with me). I have an extremely large backyard where your pet and I can explore! Over the summer, I am very flexible. During the school year, I am a doctoral student who goes to school and internship Monday-Thursday. I can do any evening and weekends. I can also board weekdays during the school year, if you’re okay with you pet going a little longer without a bathroom break (~6 hours). I have no other pets in the home. In my home, pets are allowed on the furniture. I have a very large backyard with a pond. I also enjoy movement, so as many walks as your pet needs I will do. They can sleep on the couch, in a crate, on a dog bed, or on the floor.

“As we just moved to a new place and did not find a cat sitter yet. After reading the positive reviews we decided to reach out to Kimm & Kenn S. Kimm has been such a treasure during our time away. From the get go she communicated very timely, clearly and really wanted to make sure she understood what we were looking for. Throughout our time away she kept us up to date on our cat's wellbeing. We are so happy she took care of our furry friend and will definitely reach out again in the future. Thank you, Kimm!”

About: Absolutely love being around animals and seeing their personalities come out. I started dog walking around my town for fun and for time with animals since I was 12. Since then, I have worked with a variety of dogs ranging from a 8 month year old German Sheppard, to a 15 year old poodle. I really just am a complete animal person, but unfortunately cannot own one as I am saving up for my Masters degree, so this is the best of both worlds! Experience - Medication administration - Training commands and leash walking - Animal reactive dogs - Hiking with dogs - Multiple dogs at once - Cat care - Washing and dog hygiene I am currently at my family home for the summer and am pretty flexible most days. I am a little more busy on certain weekends. I have cared for multiple dogs in the owners homes, and have found that the dogs themselves are a lot more comfortable this way. I do live in house with an un-gated back yard, but I am also pretty close to the Lexington town tennis courts which come in handy.

“Geoffrey was excellent! He was punctual , gave the pup her food and medicine and was very careful to make sure everything was in order.”

Tracey S.

“Jeanmarie was great with our puppy. He got really comfortable with her within a few minutes of meeting the first time. She knew how to approach and make him feel like relaxed. Highly recommended and will repeat.”

Anu D.

“Alexandra was a joy to work with. Reliable, professional, kind and a great communicator. We will definitely request her help in the future.”

Shona G.

“Hillary was a great find in the "eleventh hour" of my search for service. She dropped in and took really good care of my dog while I was far away for the day. I felt confident from our first texts and Hillary's generous effort to come to my home for a meet n greet. Hillary followed through with great communication, lots of photos and follow up texts. I would call her again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her services ! Thank you so much!”

Christine S.

“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 :)”

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.
