Dog Sitting in Medford

“Nathan is awesome and a pet sitter that goes above and beyond! He took great care of our 2 dogs and 1 cat. He was super attentive, sent really great photos and notes each visit, took inside a package we weren't expecting, and even did some extra laundry for us after one of our elderly dogs had an accident. We really felt so comfortable knowing someone was taking such high quality care of our animals while also having an eye on house. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve taken care of my neighbor’s cats since I was young, I’ve dog sat for friends, family, and friends of the family. I’ve taken care of 4 rambunctious dogs at once so I can handle the commotion. I am back in school so I can take care of pets whenever I’m not in class. Though I will need time to study and do homework outside of class I still will have plenty of time to take care of your pets. I do whatever the owner wants me to do to take care of their pets. I normally walk them once a day, feed them, let them out a couple times, and give them plenty of attention.

“Lisa is by far the best cat sitter I have ever worked with. Her care and interaction with my cat Linda is quite amazing. Linda loves her and goes as far to sit on her purse to keep her from leaving. Lisa is kind, compassionate, caring and for sure an animal lover. She provides the utmost love to my pet. And she takes great care in what she does. She leaves a report card each and every time and leaves my house spotless. We Linda the cat and I are so happy to know her!”

About: Hi! I have grown up around dogs and cats since I was a kid. I had a mini Australian Shephard for 8 years. I have experience dog and house sitting for family and friends. This includes overnight stays, walks, feeding, playing, and administering medications when needed. I have had my cat Saylor for a year & half and live in a house with a total of 4 cats. I have volunteered at local animal shelters for years and spent a year volunteering at a local vet clinic. I have loved animals since I was a kid and am so excited at the chance of getting to care for your fur babies! I currently work full time but work from home on Monday's and Thursday's. I am available after 4:30pm through the week and have open availability on Saturday's and Sunday's. I can take dogs out on walks, check out the parks or hit the hiking trails. I have tons of cat toys at home that offer different kinds of stimulation and would be happy to play with your cat or kittens at home.

“We used Illeanna for a last minute trip, and she was amazing once again. She kept us updated and sent us photos throughout, which we really appreciated. We highly recommend Illeanna. Oscar absolutely loves her!”

“Cathalina has consistently been an amazing sitter for our cat and we are so happy to have someone as attentive and caring as her watching him whenever we are away!”

“Alicia was communicative and punctual with her visit. My cat gets lonely on his own, and she sent me pictures of him looking very happy having some playtime and a belly rub (his favorite). She adhered to the instructions I left for her and she was caring and attentive. I came home to a happy cat and that makes me happy! I have already booked Alicia for a future visit and I can enjoy my vacation knowing my cat will be well taken care of.”

About: I have almost six years of experience taking care of cats and dogs. I enjoy taking care of animals of all ages, and have a lot of experience with seniors. I am currently working part time, so I am able to care for pets in the afternoons on weekdays, and full time on the weekends! I will care for pets attentively and compassionately while respecting clients’ homes, routines, and privacy. I will ensure that to keep clients’ animals safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

About: I've always loved animals - I grew up around them on a small farm, took a couple years of animal science schooling, and currently volunteer on the Canine Enrichment team at a local shelter. Throughout these experiences, I've helped care for all kinds of animals with all types of needs. I'm no stranger to administering medications, helping dogs settle down, and knowing when a puppy "needs to go." While my life used to be an abundance of animals, now I just live with my sweet little kitty, Chef Mac. So, don't hesitate to reach out - I have plenty of space in my home and my heart for your pet! 𝑬𝒙𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝑪𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑭𝒐𝒓: → 🐶🐱 The Usual - Dogs, Cats → 🐹🐁🐰 Lil Fuzzy Guys - Guinea Pigs, Hamsters, Rats, Ferrets, Chinchillas, Rabbits → 🐴🐔🐐 Barnyard Animals - Horses, Chickens, Goats → 🦎🐍 Scaly Friends - Bearded Dragons, Geckos, Snakes By the way, I love taking pictures and writing as a hobby. So, you'll be getting a lot of informative, photo-rich updates! 𝑭𝒓𝒆𝒒𝒖𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒍𝒚 𝑨𝒔𝒌𝒆𝒅 𝑸𝒖𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔 "𝙸'𝚖 𝚘𝚞𝚝 𝚘𝚏 𝚛𝚊𝚗𝚐𝚎!" Send the request anyway! I tell Rover I'm willing to drive 15 minutes. We all live in Boston, right? So we know 15 minutes is kind of a vibe. If you're in the Boston Metro or North Shore area, we can probably make it work. "𝙸 𝚍𝚘𝚗'𝚝 𝚑𝚊𝚟𝚎 𝚊 𝚌𝚊𝚛!" I do! Just let me know and I can likely do pickup and drop-off. The number I put in my profile is a general estimate. I'll look at how much gas it will take to reach you, plus time, then I'll send you a quote. It'll probably be cheaper than ridesharing! 𝑺𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒊𝒂𝒍 𝑸𝒖𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒇𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔 I am in the process of becoming Fear Free Certified and just enrolled in dog training classes. With your permission, I'd love to practice what I'm learning! I work freelance from home - so I have tons of flexibility to work around your pet's schedule (or, your hectic schedule!). Just a few exceptions: -> I volunteer once a week at the animal shelter on Mondays from 12 to 2. This is the only hard-and-fast time that I need to be out of the home. -> I do run a morning route with other animals. This means your pet will be alone for between one to four hours per day. Otherwise, there is almost always someone in the house. -> Sundays and Mondays are marked as unavailable for default on my calendar, but that's just because I can't help during midday. I have evenings available, though! Current special availability below: 𝚂𝚞𝚗𝚍𝚊𝚢𝚜 - 𝙰𝚟𝚊𝚒𝚕𝚊𝚋𝚕𝚎 𝚊𝚏𝚝𝚎𝚛 𝟼𝚙𝚖 𝙼𝚘𝚗𝚍𝚊𝚢𝚜 - 𝙰𝚟𝚊𝚒𝚕𝚊𝚋𝚕𝚎 𝚊𝚏𝚝𝚎𝚛 𝟹𝚙𝚖 - Before the appointment, we will align on expectations and your pet's daily needs. This will help us maintain a consistent routine and minimize stress to your pet. If any items seem challenging to fulfill, I'll proactively inform you of that. - If your pet will be visiting my home, they must tolerate cats. All boarding appointments will have a free Meet and Greet so we can screen for prey drive to ensure the safety of both animals. - If you're booking a boarding appointment for one dog, I might accept a boarding appointment for a second dog from a different family that is a similar size. If you'd like exclusive access to the house, please say so! - If you're booking for a cat, we will not book a new dog at the time that you reserve without your express permission. They will only stay with other cats and small animals. - While my yard is technically fenced, your dog will always be leashed and taken on walks for their safety.

“Lorena went above and beyond for our dog! She’s incredible.”

“Sara did such a great job with my Lucy Cat! She spent quality time with her each day I was gone and kept her litter boxes clean. She also played with her and got Lucy to warm up to her and cuddle a little bit. Will definitely book again!”

“We truly cannot say enough good things about her. Grecia can sometimes be a bit bossy, and she did an amazing job reading her personality and understanding her needs. She was incredibly loving, attentive, responsible, and always punctual. She took wonderful care of Grecia, showed her so much affection, and made sure she felt comfortable and happy while we were away. We have no words to describe how amazing and incredible she was. We would not hesitate for a second to work with her again and highly recommend her.”

“Yesika was amazing! She listened to all my instructions and did an amazing job taking care of Luna. She was also very communicative and send a lot of photos of Luna which was greatly appreciated!! Thank you so much!! Will definitely book again:)”

“That’s not just a byline, Caitlin is a true cat whisperer. Our Titus runs and hides at a knock on our door, so we had every expectation that Caitlin would never see him. To our surprise, Titus came out and let her pet him. That just doesn’t happen with someone he hasn’t smelled for days! We would 100% rebook her for future drop ins”

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover who grew up around dogs and puppies thanks to my dad, a responsible dog breeder. Caring for dogs was a big part of my life from an early age, and I gained hands-on experience with dogs of different breeds, ages, and personalities. I grew to love cats as well when my best friend adopted two cats and we all lived together for several years. Since then, I've had the pleasure of pet sitting for puppies, dogs, and cats for friends, family, and clients. I'm dependable, communicative, and happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pets are happy and well cared for while you're away. As an animal lover who's new to the Boston area and currently unable to have pets in my apartment, pet sitting is a wonderful way for me to spend time with animals while helping pet owners travel or work with peace of mind. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and pet care throughout the day. When petsitting at your home, I can be there all day if you have wifi and a place for me to use my laptop, or I can pop in during the day and stay overnight. I always try to keep pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routines as closely as possible. Whether that means sticking to a feeding schedule, going on regular walks, playing, administering basic medications, or simply providing companionship, I pay close attention to each pet's individual needs and personality. Safety is my top priority. I make sure doors, gates, harnesses, and leashes are secure, and I closely supervise pets during walks and outdoor time. I also understand the importance of following any instructions you provide regarding your pet's care, behavior, or medical needs. When staying in a client's home, I treat both the pets and the home with the utmost respect. I'm tidy, responsible, and communicative, and I'm happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind.

“Maria and her partner happily accepted a quick meet up before meeting Mochi and I. They were eager, friendly, and very respectful. They spent and hour each day playing, petting, chasing, and cuddling with Mochi. My little Mochi was ecstatic to see them and play with them. Knowing that she was in great, eager, and safe company and while providing her nonstop attention for the hour was the best I could ask for. Would love to have Maria and her partner hang with Mochi again soon!”

“Isabel was very friendly and did a great job communicating. My cat seemed to have a great time with her while I was out of town. I'd definitely work with her again!”

“Ashely did a wonderful job caring for my older kitties while I was away. I had some issues with my automatic litter box, and she kept me up to date, and was able to set up a different litter box I had shipped to my house while away. One of my cats is having some health issues, and requires special attention with her diet, and Ashely did a GREAT job. The cats were calm and happy when I returned home, which was a huge relief. Thank you Ashley!”
