Dog Sitting Mattapan

“Isabelle did a great job taking care of our kitty while we were traveling! She was very responsive on chat, and took amazingly cute photos of our boy during each check-in (I seriously don't know how she captured so many with him sticking his tongue out). We also really appreciate her flexibility with scheduling a last-minute meet-and-greet prior to our trip. Highly recommended and would totally book again.”

About: I’ve grown up my entire life with animals in my home. My dog, Brio, a husky mix, is wildly energetic outside so I’ve had lots of experience with her. My cat, Pippa, who we got when she was only 6 months old, is truly one of my favorite creatures. I’ve learned how to interact with and understand cats and their quirks. I’ve also done my fair share of dog walking/care as well as cat care. I’ve stayed overnight for week long periods in charge of both cats and dogs as well as keeping the house in order. I feel I bring a very peaceful presence and I hope your animals will quickly feel comfortable with me! I’m currently in school but have flexibility with my schedule. I’m definitely available to house sit, the exact timeframe will just depend on your proximity to my school. I’m able to come by mid-day for a quick visit and have more time after 5pm but I’m willing to try and accommodate any additional needs! I’m not able to take care of your animals in my own home but I am more than happy to house sit for you and follow your animal’s routines. I’m very independent, reliable, and truly love being in the company of animals. I especially adore cats- I’m very much missing my dog and cat back home in Alaska! I plan to keep a record of when I stopped by and what I did as well as keeping you posted with pictures or updates of your pet. Again, I’m very willing to accommodate a lot!

About: Hi! I’m Rose, a reliable and caring animal lover based in the Quincy area. I have 4 cats of my own, so I’m very comfortable with daily pet care routines and giving animals lots of attention and love. We also had a 15-year-old Shih Tzu who passed away in 2022 and over the past year I’ve been walking and caring for dogs for rover clients. I am currently taking the year off from teaching so my schedule is very flexible throughout the week! I’m available for morning, midday, and evening walks, and can be accommodating with last-minute requests when needed. I will be actively engaging with your fur baby! I love taking them on walks and to parks depending on their needs! I will make sure to follow your instructions on their feeding schedule to keep a controlled diet

About: Preferred Name: Del I adore animals, and as far as I can tell the feeling is mutual. Roommates, partners, and friends are always impressed by how quickly their pets take to me and jokingly complain that I'm "stealing" them away. I've cared for pets in my family since I was 12. I'm an enthusiastic walker and I'm adamant about keeping cats and dogs stimulated with playtime. Currently between jobs so my schedule is very flexible. As such, I'm free to devote all I can to taking care of your lovely critters. I make visits and house stays as appropriate. Meticulous about following pet care instructions to a T as you know your pet better than I ever could. Will make sure that your pet is stimulated, fed, loved, and cared for so that your absence goes hopefully as unnoticed as possible.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for them. Growing up, I regularly watched my neighbors’ two Collies while their family was away, so I became comfortable with the responsibility of caring for someone else’s dogs and keeping up with their routines. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and giving dogs plenty of attention while their owners are away. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care, and I’ll always treat them with the same patience, attention, and affection I would want for my own. I currently work part-time at a restaurant and have three days off each week, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care. On work days, I’m available for morning and early afternoon drop-ins before my shifts. On my days off, my schedule is much more flexible and I’m available throughout the day. I’m happy to coordinate visits around your pet’s usual routine whenever possible! know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet and entering your home. I always follow each pet’s individual routine and any instructions you provide, including feeding, fresh water, litter box or potty care, walks, playtime, and any other specific needs. I’m mindful of doors, gates, and your pet’s surroundings at all times and will always leave your home just as I found it. Most importantly, I’ll give your pet plenty of attention and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m also happy to send photos and updates after every visit for extra peace of mind!

About: I have solid experience caring for dogs, and I truly enjoy every moment with them. For me, walks are more than just a simple outing they’re fun adventures your dog deserves! I’m affectionate, patient, and always focused on making them feel safe, loved, and happy. I’m happy to take care of your best friend! Whether it’s for a few hours, a fun walk, or even staying with them when needed. I’m here to help. I’m available every day except Tuesdays and Thursdays.

About: I’m a dedicated law student balancing the challenges of school while working to cover housing and tuition costs. Though I’m not able to have a farm full of dogs just yet, I’m passionate about caring for pups while their owners are away. I can walk, board, or simply spend time playing with your dog. Dogs bring me so much joy and comfort, and I would love to share that with your pet. I have been a dog owner since I was a kid and a rescuer since I was 18. I have a dream of one day opening a dog ranch to help clear shelters and give more dogs a loving home. Right now, I have my own dog, Huey, who is 3 years old and a big part of my life. By trusting me with your dog, you’re not only giving them care and attention but also supporting a student working hard to achieve her goals and make a difference for animals in the future. I’m a full-time student with weekends off and a generally flexible schedule, including some weekdays available. I’m happy to offer boarding on weekends, and during weekdays I’m available in the evenings for dog walking and playtime—perfect for pups whose humans work full-time. I have two friendly dogs of my own who love to play and socialize. During breaks and certain holidays, my schedule is even more flexible, so I can accommodate more time with your furry friends. Let’s connect and chat about how I can help care for your dogs. I will prioritize your pup’s safety and comfort at all times. I will securely crate your dog when needed and travel to and from your home in my car, ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience. You can trust that I will care for your pet in a safe, loving, and calm environment where their well-being is my top priority. I will also help with any other tasks to make things easier for you and your furry friend.

About: I’m a huge animal lover. I’ve had both dogs and cats. I have experience with administering medication to small dogs and small mammals, senior care, and lots of general pet-sitting and walking experience. I’ve worked with a lot of different breeds, and I am so excited to meet your friend! I’m a college student, so I am generally busy during the day, but I have large gaps in my schedule to accommodate your needs. I am relatively free before noon and after 5:30 every day. Weekends are pretty open! I cannot house animals in my own home (we’re a pretty full house right now!) but I will take great care of your friend in your own home. Whether that be making enrichment treats, playing with toys, walks, backyard excursions, crate time, special rituals, etc., I am happy to participate!

“Samantha has been amazing. From our initial meet and greet to multiple visits with my kitten, she has been thoroughly communicative, polite, and professional. She has great attention to detail and went above and beyond in providing updates. She even put the cat food away neater than I had left it for her. As a first time pet parent, I felt very comforted that my cat was in kind and safe hands. Beyond feeding, I mainly wanted a companion for my kitten as she is young, and Samantha played with all her favorite toys with her. I’d trust her with anyone’s pet, and I can’t wait to use her services again. Thank you Samantha!”

About: I’m a per person who all their childhood always wanted a pet but never had one. I spent many days as a kid watching over my cousin and families pets alike. Even being excited to take them on walks and pick up after them. And now as an adult with my own pet it still hasn’t changed. With my care you’ll get someone who is just excited to even be around your pet. On top of that I would give them the proper care and attention they deserve. I work part time in the evenings and on Saturdays. So at max I would be away for 5-6 hours out of the day. But my jobs is very flexible so I am able to adjust my hours based every pets needs. When going into someone else’s home I understand that it is their sanctuary and safe place. Each home should be treated with care and respect as if it were my own.

“Kiara was fabulous! Very communicative and did such a great job taking care of my cat Bruce. She definitely help to ease my nerves. Kiara went above and beyond and I feel so lucky I found her. I will definitely be using her again.”

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals since I was 10. I can’t imagine my life without my dogs since they are a part of my family. I know how nerve wracking it is to trust someone with your pet, but it’s my promise to love them like my own and give them the care they deserve. I’m big on keeping pet parents posted with pictures and updates so I can take away that anxiety attached to being away from your pets. Pet care is integral to my daily routine. I dedicate time each day to exercise, feed, and engage with pets, ensuring their well-being. Weekly, I adjust activities based on individual needs. Even though I don’t currently have a pet, dogs have always been a part of my family. I take pet care seriously. I follow your pet’s specific routines, ensure their environment is safe and clean, and provide attentive care, including exercise and mental stimulation.

“Dorothy was fantastic with my Maine Coon! She provided a detailed summary of her visit and included pictures. I came home to a clean litter box and a happy kitty!”

“While I was away on vacation, Kat took care of my cats and did a spectacular job! Upon meeting Kat, both Mason and KiKi loved her immediately and felt comfortable with her which put me at ease. She is very courteous, accommodating, and flexible given my hectic work schedule. I could tell she took care of them very well since they seemed very relaxed when I came home—other cat sitters have left my cats feeling anxious and are very fearful when I get home—this wasn’t the case with Kat! She went above and beyond and cleaned the pet cans and some unexpected vomit that occurred during my vacation. Overall, I highly recommend Kat and will use her as a cat sitter again!”

About: I have been animal sitting and dog walking since it was my middle school job, and I pride myself on caring for others’ pets as though they were my own. I volunteered with a Vermont humane society for 7 months this year, performing morning kennel maintenance, feeding, socializing, and turnout of the shelter dogs. I work full time, but in a hybrid position. I’ll be able to stop by on my breaks, and if they like cats, they can come hang in the “home office” for a bit! I meet pets where they’re at and try to understand their personality and body language before going anywhere with them. As I get to know your pet, I’ll be able to more accurately assess things like their mood or if they’re in any pain. My priority is the safety and happiness of your furry friend, just like yours!

About: I have had experience with animals all my life. Dogs, cats, reptiles, I do it all. Even chickens. I've taken care of multiple animals at a time, in their home, my home, overnight visits, and frequent visits. I have references if you need them. Please contact me if you would like to hear more!

They will love playing in my fenced backyard where they can roam free. I can take them on walks around my neighborhood, feed them, and anything else you need. My house has a dog gate where I can keep them separate from the other animals if need be.

About: I’ve been doing freelance sittings and dog walking for about two years now. I’ve always enjoyed caring for canines/felines of all breeds, some even with handicaps or special needs. Once I communicate with a pet’s parent and make sure I fully understand their baby’s tendencies and needs, I use those to create a comforting bond between the pet and I so the parent can remain focused on whatever task has them away from their love, and the pet can have a comfortable wait on their return. Pet care is something I do for free a lot with neighbors pets and my own, all the time. My weekends, and weekday evenings are free. I follow all instructions, and make sure all pets needs are communicated clearly. Attention to detail is especially crucial when caring for dogs with particular needs.
