House Sitting Mattapan

“Rev was the most responsive, caring and thoughtful caring person! She sent us many, many pictures with updates throughout the days we were away and went out of her way to coordinate with our families as I had undergone an emergency surgery and couldn’t make it back in time. Simply put, Rev is the bestest!!”

“Angie was amazing with Frankie!! He felt so comfortable with her and she send so many updates, which we love! We will definitely have her back :)”

“Belen took such good care of Pedrito! We've had two sitters move out of the area, and I'm so glad it was easy to find Belen who was clear, communicative, and has experience with small, reactive dogs like mine. Belen's calm demeanor is just what my dog needs. She gave him the space and opportunity to approach her when he was ready when they first met, which made a huge difference. He warmed up to her pretty quickly because of that patience. I would definitely recommend booking with Belen. She housesat, which I appreciated because that's the most comfortable for my dog. She sent lots of update pictures and videos while I was away. Can't say enough great things, thanks Belen! I'll definitely be booking with you again for Pedrito!”

“We have two pets that require daily meds (multiple times a day) and Tommy was enthusiastic to learn and care for them. He was always on time and extremely communicative. We got daily pics of our babies too which was a massive plus for us. Thanks again, Tommy!”

Kevin F.

“Ailise was such a reliable pet and house sitter for our many pets! She kept us updated with photos and we felt confident our pets were in good hands! Will definitely hire her again in the future!”

Essie B.

“Chris seems like a very sweet and reliable person- he was universally very fast to respond to messages, kept in contact with us while we were away, and all our critters seemed very happy when we got home!”

Hannah G.

“Michael was very punctual, pleasant and relaxed — seemed to “get” my 18-y.o chihuahua right away. This was my first time using Rover, and Michael was a very lucky choice! When I came home several hours later, both man and dog seemed very happy, and my house was in perfect order. Michael was available with less than 24 hours advance notice which was also very wonderful.”

Linda B.

“Juliette was thoughtful, attentive, and attuned to my pet babies( a kitten and 1 year old dog). I would hire her again in a heartbeat. I enjoyed the daily photos abd updates and she was all around a lovely and compassionate person.”

Misty C.

“I cannot express how wonderful these two are. I left my gal for almost a week and Morgan’s communication the entire time was amazing! Pictures were sent daily and lots of love and snuggles given. They made my trip so enjoyable and I will use them whenever I am away from Olive!”

Heather G.

“Amy was amazing! She house sat with my cat Louie for a week and was so good about sending updates, videos, pics. She gave Louie lots of love and attention, I’m so grateful to have found her”

Aasia Y.

“We had a wonderful experience with Cynthia watching our two dogs. They can be a bit of a handful at times but she was great in her care for them and very respectful of our home as well. She also kept me updated with many pictures which was much appreciated!”

Andrea H.

“Kristina provided such diligent and compassionate care to my two senior dogs with particular needs. Sent frequent and detailed communication that kept me up to date and comfortable!”

Abby M.

“Lindsay took such great care of my cat Naomi! She was extremely professional and responsive, and she was so helpful even with some very last minute changes/housesitting needs that I was stressing over. Also had no trouble administering Naomi’s medication and was so attentive to her daily routine. I really appreciated all the detailed updates and cat pics!! I would happily have her catsit for us again :)”

Alisha S.

“Casey took great care of our dog and home! Our dog seemed very happy and the house was spotless when we returned! We will definitely be asking Casey to take care of her in the future!”

About: Hi everyone, I'm a Peruvian-USA student living in Boston while I finish my studies. Over the past eight years, I have regularly taken care of friends’ pets, particularly cats, on a voluntary basis. I genuinely love caring for small animals—especially cats—and have built strong, affectionate bonds with them over time. I’m very much a “cat person”: I’m attentive, calm, playful when appropriate, and respectful of their need for space. Cats tend to feel comfortable around me, and I truly enjoy their company. While I’ve never had a dog of my own, I have a healthy, confident, and respectful relationship with dogs as well. I’m energetic, playful, and comfortable setting boundaries, with no fear and a strong awareness of animals’ needs and signals. More broadly, I love animals and enjoy the routine, responsibility, and emotional connection that comes with caring for them. Because I move frequently and am completing my PhD, I haven’t yet been able to commit to having a pet of my own. Pet caretaking has been a meaningful way for me to stay connected to animals during this stage of life, and it would be a wonderful way to bring balance, joy, and much-needed stress relief alongside the demands of dissertation writing. Because I am still a student and do not have a car, things will work out best for folks who live near accessible public transport. I am also open to staying over your place, if needed! I cannot currently host pets but I'm open to going and, when preferred, staying over your place. Besides 2 days a week, when I have in-person research seminars to attend, I have a very flexible schedule. Thankfully I can work from anywhere! I cannot currently host pets at my shared apartment, perhaps in the future. I am open to staying at your place, and it seems this often is more calming for pets.

“Catherine was an amazing cat sitter and I would absolutely rebook with her again. She followed all of my care instructions very carefully and was extremely attentive to my cats’ needs while I was away. One thing that really stood out to me was how quickly she noticed an issue with my cat Bruce, who has chronic constipation. I had explained the warning signs to look out for before I left, and the very first night I was gone she noticed he was trying to use the litter box but couldn’t. She contacted me immediately, made herself available for a phone call, and followed all of the care steps I walked her through. Thankfully, Bruce improved a lot after that, and I was so grateful she caught it so early. She also sent constant updates and photos throughout the trip, so I was never left wondering how my babies were doing. Catherine house sat for two nights as well, and when I came home my apartment was exactly as I left it. I felt like my cats and home were genuinely cared for while I was away. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and compassionate pet sitter.”

About: What sets me apart is how much patience and attention I give to every pet I care for. I take the time to understand their personality, routine, and individual needs instead of treating every pet the same. I’m especially comfortable caring for cats and making sure they feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I’m also willing to learn and follow any specific instructions an owner gives me so their pet can get the same care they’re used to. I have open availability during the week and weekends that also includes holidays and special occasions. This makes sure I can fit pet care within my day to day schedule. I make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while they’re with me. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, playtime, cleaning up, and giving them plenty of attention. I also make sure to respect each pet’s personality and give them space when they need it. My goal is for both the pet and their owner to feel comfortable and confident while they’re in my care.

“Mokeisha was an excellent sitter. She was incredibly responsive, and I felt completely confident that my dogs were in great hands while I was away. She checked in throughout the day with messages and photos, which I really appreciated. With freezing temperatures outside, she was especially attentive to making sure the dogs were safe and comfortable during outdoor time. They were clearly spoiled with attention, cuddles, and treats while in her care. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire Mokeisha again and absolutely plan to do so.”

“Belkis has stayed with our active boy a couple of times and she is great! DJ loves her and she communicates with us throughout her stay. Thank you Belkis!”

“Allison was great with our toy golden doodle! Milly loved her. Allison was right on time, was in touch with us, and took great care of Milly. We will definitely call her again!”
