“Guillermo was excellent! He sat for our senior dog, Cooper, at our place for 4 days and it was a great experience. He was communicative and responsive, he left the house cleaner than when we left, and more importantly he took great care of Cooper!! We would highly recommend.”
“Natalie is fantastic! Her calendar is up-to-date, and she responds quickly. She's has an easy-going comfortable way around dogs that will make you comfortable leaving your dog with her. Our dog tends to be people shy and she loved Natalie right away.”
“Andrew stayed with my dog, Odie, for a week. He was responsive and consistent about checking in with pictures of Odie while I was gone. He also left my house spotless. I will definitely be using Andrew again!”
“Sam was wonderful with my shy, anxious pup. Sam took it slow and Fern really warmed up to her. I got a very detailed report from Sam at the end of the weekend. I came home to a happy pup & a spotless home.”
About: I have taken care of pets for animals for well over 20 years and was the manager of a pet sitting and dog walking business for a few years as well. I was also an assistant to an ethical dog breeder and helped deliver and raise a litter of teacup schnauzers. For the past year I was traveled full time in the UK and Canada as a pet and house sitter. I enjoyed it so much wanted to keep taking gigs now that I'm back in the US! I love learning the personalities of each of my pet clients and learning to adapt to their quirks. I'm getting pretty good at taking pet pics so you may get something frameable in one of my pet updates! Apart from working part time as a massage therapist on the weekends in ~4.5 hour shifts, I mostly work from home so your pet would have company more often than not. I know how to administer oral and topical medications and can be easily trained to administer IV medications if needed. I work part time in short shifts (less than 6 hours), so I will be in my clients' homes with their pets most of the time. I can provide additional references both for pet care and general care of property from airbnb reviews. I try to leave the place better than I found it and provide check ins and pictures for peace of mind.
“Charlotte did an amazing job taking care of my 10.5 lab for 3 days! She was super responsive and communicative. She sent me multiples pictures and updates daily, which I definitely appreciated. I knew he was in good hands, and would definitely book with her in the future.”
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.
“Omar was so wonderful and professional with our senior cat and senior dog. He was respectful of our home while house sitting and left it in great condition! Omar is also genuinely a wonderful guy, super great to work with and trustworthy. We can’t wait to book him again!”
“Sydney watched my girls for two weeks and had to deal with an unexpected leak in the apartment while I was gone. She was incredibly professional and had a great attitude, and helped mitigate the issue and took great care of my pets. I would highly recommend her as an in-home sitter!”
About: I got my Labrador retriever when I was 12, and I’ve loved dogs ever since. I will go out of my way to be around dogs - they really are a human’s best friend and such a life-changing companion — being around them has always felt natural and meaningful to me. I work fully remote, so I’m home a lot and have a flexible schedule. That makes it easy for me to give dogs plenty of attention, walks, and care throughout the day. I’m available for dog sitting any day of the week, and usually on weekends too unless noted otherwise. Your dog’s safety and comfort are really important to me. Since our apartment doesn’t allow pets, I’m always happy to come to your place so your dog can stay in their own familiar space and feel comfortable and relaxed.
“Sasha was responsible, communicative and enthusiastic, and Rosie and I liked her right away! I would give Sasha the highest of recommendations, and hope to have her take care of Rosie again.”
“Alice was was amazing! She asked great questions during our meet and greet and instantly put me at ease. She was super responsive and had great communication. During her overnight with my cat, she sent me great photos of my cat, I could tell he was very pleased with spending time with Alice. Alice left my house in perfect condition. I would 100% book her and would highly recommend her!”
“Aaron was great and easy to connect with for a day of watching our big dog. Grateful he was open to a meet and greet first and updated throughout the time he was watching our boy 🐶”
About: I grew up with cats and have lived with animals my whole life (cats, fish, hamsters, dogs). I have provided petsitting for cats, reptiles, and dogs. I have petsit across ages, temperaments, sizes, medical needs, and energy levels. From a senior deerhound, to two young whippets, to cats with specialized diets and medication administration. I'm a remote office worker with a flexible schedule who is looking to stay active and save for my first home. I love going for walks, rain or shine! And there's nothing better than curling up on the couch with a furry friend. I work remotely and can be with your furry family all day and provide them with as much supervision and enrichment/exercise as they need to ensure they have fulfilling and safe days. I am certified by the Red Cross in Pet First Aid.
“Alivia was a super communicative and kind easy to work with sitter. From walking through the care instructions for my senior dog, to daily updates on how he was doing, I felt like he was in safe hands and could enjoy my time away. Definitely recommend working with her!”
“Jeffrey stayed in our home for ~1 week, watching our cat and dog. During this time our dog needed to be coned and required a little extra care, but Jeffrey provided great care for both our animals and our home. I highly recommend him for anyone looking for pet sitting in the Medford area!”
“Anna is wonderful. We have utilized her services a few times now with our golden retriever puppy, and will continue to use her whenever we need. She is always responsive and will send pictures and videos whenever she is sitting. So happy to have found her!”
About: I've loved dogs all my life. I had a dog since I was 12, and as an adult I've done both periodic walks and drop-ins, as well as overnight stays. I know that every pet has their own temperament and needs, and I will be sure to adjust to ensure you and your fur-babies have a safe, happy experience with me. I have a lot of flexibility to be able to schedule whatever pet care you may need! With the exception of special events, I can generally move things around on my end to accomodate your schedule. I have done check-ins and walks throughout the day, as well as staying at a client's home for multiple nights to take care of their pets.

Katie was wonderful with Topanga! Even though our schedule changed and she didn’t get to spend as much time with her as originally planned, she was incredibly flexible, kind, and understanding. During the time they were together, Katie was genuinely caring and attentive. She was polite and professional with us, and most importantly, loving with Topanga. Our girl instantly gravitated toward her, which says a lot! We would absolutely recommend Katie and would be happy to have her care for Topanga again.
Maddy is professional, trustworthy and responsive. And most importantly my dogs love her! She can be counted on to follow through, even with the most nuanced instructions. One of my dogs tends to hide and create a challenge for someone to walk her— with Maddy there is no hiding and she happily interacts. I’ve relied on Maddy for three different stays and each time I had peace of mind that everyone and everything was cared for just as I requested. Appreciate the energy and passion she puts into the job!
Andrew is a dog owner's dream. He's extremely friendly and likeable and very reliable/dependable. Always easy to communicate with and sends updates. But best of all my dog loves him and that's the most important part of the relationship. We plan to use his services again for a longer trip knowing he will take care of everything.
Maria did a wonderful job taking care of our dog for the long weekend. She set aside time to do a meet and greet before the booking, sent us daily updates with photos, and even left our place looking cleaner than when we left! She genuinely seemed to enjoy her time with our dog. We (and our dog!) look forward to booking Maria again!
Mandy & Daniel took such amazing care of our girls, Isla and Ivy, while we were away in Minnesota this past weekend. They were incredibly communicative the entire time, which we really appreciated, and they sent multiple updates and photos every day that gave us so much peace of mind. They truly went above and beyond! They brought the girls treats and puzzle toys, and made sure they felt loved and entertained while we were gone. They even saved Isla’s canine tooth when it fell out while we were away (she’s our 4 month old puppy), which was such a thoughtful thing to do! We could tell our dogs were in great hands the whole time. We’ll absolutely be using Mandy & Daniel again in the future and would highly recommend them to anyone in the area looking for caring, reliable dog sitters!
