Pet Sitting in Lexington

“We had a great experience with Annette! She took the time to come beforehand and learn our guinea pigs’ routine, which we really appreciated. She was reliable, attentive, and took great care of them while we were away. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. Highly recommend!”

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!

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

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.

“Angie did a fantastic job of taking care of my old kitty. She was very responsive and we really appreciate her alerting us to a potential issue for a pet that wasn’t her responsibility!”

“First time having a sitter come into my home and only the second time leaving my fur baby for more than 1 night.... After the fist day or 2, I missed by baby but was not anxious about him. He was getting spoiled rotten! Karein not only did everything I asked, but went above and beyond with videos, pictures, trying new toys, cleaning up his food dishes, and bringing in my mail. Very happy and so is my cat.”

Ashley S.

“Erin did an exceptional job caring for our active and anxious dog Polly. We returned from a few days of vacation to find a happy, well fed and relaxed puppy. Erin carefully followed our care instructions and was very easy to work with. We would recommend Erin highly to care for any pet. Paul and Barbara”

“Jessica was great! Very responsive and communicative and appreciated how timely her visits were. Our cats seemed to be very happy having her drop in too and we loved all the photos 😊”

Colleen S.

“Thank you, Jolene, for checking in on my two cats over a holiday weekend with a last minute booking! Jolene’s communication and timing was excellent. While checking on the cats, she filled their bowls, gave them treats, and brushed them. I appreciated her time and attention!”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have had my own dog for 12 years, so I’m very comfortable with daily pet care, routines, walks, feeding, and making sure pets feel safe and cared for. I’ve also watched friends’ dogs over the years and have experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m responsible, dependable, and genuinely enjoy being around animals, whether that means going on long walks, playing with them, or just keeping them company while their owners are away. I currently work part-time, so I’m available every weekday after 3 PM and have a flexible afternoon and evening schedule for walks, drop-ins, feeding schedules, and quality time! I make sure pets are comfortable, safe, and getting plenty of attention and activity throughout the day. I have crates available if needed, can use harnesses on walks for safety, and love taking dogs on multiple walks and spending time outside. I also enjoy playing fetch!

“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.”

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.

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

About: I’m Arnav, a dedicated and experienced dog sitter with a special love for small dogs and senior pups. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and temperaments, and I understand how important it is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment when you're away. I have plenty of hands-on experience, including administering medications, handling special diets, and giving gentle care to elderly dogs who may need a slower pace and extra attention. I take dogs on walks twice a day and have a secure yard where they can stretch their legs, play, or simply relax in the fresh air. I’m available day and night on weekdays, weekends, and holidays, based on my calendar availability. Plus, your pup will never be alone—my parents and I work as a team, so there’s always someone home to keep a watchful and caring eye on them. I truly treat every dog like family, and I’d love the chance to care for yours! I’m available all day and night on weekdays and all weekends and holidays as per my calendar setting. In addition, other than me, there is always someone at home to supervise your pet. I have a big yard and easy access to bike path for safe walking and playing. If the weather is not good. I still play with the pet indoors.

About: I’m reliable, flexible and a good communicator, who loves to spend time with your fur babies, whether it’s cuddles, play or a long walk in the woods. I’m a teacher who has lots of flexibility this summer! I have my own strong and active 45 pound rescue, Sox, and have walked many neighbors’ dogs and helped my kids with their own dog walking businesses. I’d love to meet your pup! I’m a teacher, currently off for summer vacation, so I have a lot of flexibility June, July and August. I may often be available last minute, as well. I have a car, and am comfortable entering and exiting your home. (My own dog greets people with a whole lot of barking, so I’m used to that!)

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.
