Pet Sitting Lexington

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.

“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 have had animals all of my life- cats, dogs, guinea pigs, fish, newts, frogs, hamsters gerbils, parakeets and even an ant farm at one point! I have helped pet sit for other people and my daughter also does pet sitting. I have been a nurse for 37 years and I also volunteer at Nevin's Farm weekly. I know how important it is to have a reliable person to check on your animals while you are away or just at work. I would like to expand what I do and be that person for you. I work at the hospital three times a week and on my off days I am available to come check your pet, give them potty breaks, feed them, whatever they need to make them comfortable while you are not there. Sometimes my days might vary but hopefully a routine could be established that suits us both. I am happy to go by any instructions you leave for your pet - where they are allowed to go or be, what you want me to put out for them for food or water, etc... Just let me know because I want to keep their routine and environment the same as if you were there in that moment. I would like to think that if my animals could talk they would give me high marks for all I do for them to keep them clean/cared for/walked. I think they are happy with me!!! But I guess I do something right as my friends and family always call me for advice or when they want to adopt and say "Where should I go? What do I need? Is this a good choice? Will you go with me?" So I take these asks as good compliments.

About: We are a family in Arlington without any pets of our own, but lots of love and willingness to care for your pet in our home so you can enjoy your time away. Our neighborhood is safe for walks days and nights, and we have a fenced in backyard with plenty of room to run. We follow your routine, so please let us know of any preferences or restrictions, both dietary and behavioral. We offer lots of outside time, hugs and kisses! Your pet can sleep wherever they prefer, on the couch, in our bed, or in their crate (per your request only). We don't walk pets off lease unless we are at a dog park, and we stay with them in the yard, in particular at night, so they are never left unattended. We have two boys, age 13 years old, who are very active and love to run and play with dogs and are gentle with them. The adults in the family work mostly from home, so someone will be with your pet at all times. We prefer to do a meet and greet so we can see how your dog will fit into our home as well as get to know its habits and preferences. We make sure we have the time right after drop off to go for a walk with your dog so they get faster acclimated attention during the day. We are loving with the dogs we are sitting and make sure they get lots of outside and play time as needed during the day. We also don't give food from the table and are careful with treats, using only ones we have already checked with you. Since we don’t have any dogs or pets of our own, we have the time and attention to focus on your pet.

“Ying took such wonderful care of my two babies while I was away for over a month. She was very reliable, attentive, and kind, and I always felt reassured knowing they were in good hands. It meant so much to me to know they were happy and well cared for while I was away. I’m truly grateful for her help and would definitely recommend her!”

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.

“Absolutely amazing 🤩 thank you so much for watching Myles and Fyodor while we were away. To name a few things we loved - the toys you shared to keep our kitties entertained,your attire, attitude, communication and pictures! :))”

“Rilee was nothing short of exceptional in the care she gave our elderly cat. Rilee was kind and warm, easy to talk to, and truly cared. Our cat has a complex medication regimen that includes oral medication twice a day. Rilee handled this with confidence and was able to put our cat at ease and get all of his medications in. We highly recommend her!”

“Jolene was great - she was communicative about the sessions, came at the requested times even though they were a bit early, and I loved the pictures of my cat having fun!”

They are more than happy to sleep with your baby if it’s needed.

“Yanira took amazing care of Ruthie! She can be shy with new people but came out for Yanira, great to get the daily photos! I would absolutely book with her again!”

“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: I have grown up with dogs of all different breeds and sizes throughout my life and they have become a constant part of my life. My parents, aunts, and uncles have always had dogs growing up as well, and they truly become members of the family. I have watched all my families dogs and also worked at petsmart in the pet hotel for three years. I expect the high level of care that I have given my pets when I have looked for care for my own animals. I have watched dogs through rover now for around three years and have plenty of great reviews . We love having dogs of all sizes and breeds and our dog blue loves all dogs that come over to stay

About: I'm a veteran providing daycare and boarding, depending on the dog and owner, is generally filled with canine adventures including hikes in a forest and hills, and in the summer, play in dog friendly areas with might even include a pool party and ice cream social! Given the right environment and only with your permission, this can include off-leash time. Pickup and drop-off is almost always available. The quoted price is for a 15 mile range. Extra if farther. ----- Since I was 4, I've been caring for all kinds of animals, especially dogs. At one time as a kid, we had 4 Great Danes! I've had mixed breeds and purebreds, athletes and couch potatoes, puppies, seniors, and special needs. I've also trained them although I've never been certified. Something common that friends say after their dog has spent a week or more with me is "how come my dog is now better behaved?" Your neighborhood or mine, the local park, the dog park, or on dog friendly trails. One dog or many. Having had all kinds of pets, including a 23 year old cat who required daily fluids and Miralax because of kidney failure and old cat dry colon, a dog that suffered seizures, and others. I even had a big 7 pound black and white adult rabbit that I found dumped in the state forest; she was litter box trained, had the run of the house, used the big dog crate as her private home, and would take turns playing with and chasing the 93 pound dog. I've just always seemed to understand dogs in particular and vice versa. The same is usually true with other animals too. I even enjoy caring for dogs that are hyper! Just let me know first in case I've got low energy dogs with me. What you can expect: Boarding and daycare are usually canine adventure time with me. Assuming your pooch is up for it, they'll accompany us on an adventure where they usually be able to play with other dogs, swim, and go on hikes. When the weather doesn't cooperate, that usually means pack walks somewhere like Lowes or somewhere else inside. If your dog tends to be stressed around other dogs and not well socialized, they'll have fun, learn that they are safe and can enjoy themselves while learning to be social and resilient. This is also great for improving their fitness and overall health. I work remotely, set my schedule, and nothing makes me happier that being with and doing things with dogs. Dog park? Trails? It's field trip and adventure time, if your beast is up for it. Play dates? Why not! Up for playing with my dog who is vaccinated for probably everything and wants to chase and be chased? Not a problem. Special needs or a senior? Just let me know. I have a fenced yard and a happy, boisterous 6 year old, 57 pound dog who adjusts his play style to what other dogs like. If he's too much for your dog, he takes correction from them, no problem, or I can put them in different places. He even lets little dogs beat him up without protest and if your dog likes rough play, he'll accomodate. He's happy and loves people and dogs. He has zero resource guarding issues; if your's does, he'll give them space.
