Pet care experience

#1 Boston Rover Sitter 2025 MS and

Hello! I am Jack. I am in North Cambridge in a private house with a private yard. Please read my reviews. I will treat your pet like my child. You will not have to worry at all. Again I live alone with no pets. My passion and love of animals began in my childhood taking care of my family's pets. We had cats and dogs galore. Now as a grown man I drive Uber and do my art on the side so I have plenty of time for your pet. I love going for walks and exploring nature with them. When your pet is with me, you can trust they’re in good hands. I’m always ready to travel where needed, even on short notice. My goal is to give you peace of mind by ensuring pets are in a safe and loving environment while you’re away. My love and care is tailored to each pet's unique needs.

Doggy Day Care • Mar 29, 2026

Jack was fabulous with my lazy and stubborn dog Wiggins! He kept in contact with us all day and let us know how he was doing. He also was willing to take us last minute and was super flexible with timing.

I have never left my pup with a non-family member before and all I can say is - I am so happy that we found Jack! From the very first meet and greet and throughout the stay, Jack was communicative and kind. He sent me plenty of updates which helped ease any nervousness I had. My pup was also struggling with sensitive paws and Jack kept an eye on it and gave me some tips. Thanks again to Jack. My pup had such a great time staying with him!

House Sitting • Apr 24, 2025

Jack was the perfect solution for our senior Beagle Duncan, who needs to stay in his own space. Jack was super responsive to all our communications before, during and after the commitment. Jack stayed in our house and was willing and able to take care of Duncan's old-man needs including multiple daily medications, super early wake-up calls to be let out and cleaning up when Duncan had an accident. Throughout our trip we received numerous photos and videos of Duncan daily and we could see he was being showered with love and affection. Jack was also very gracious and patient with us when our plans were changed with short notice and he did everything he could to accommodate us. We would definitely use Jack again for our pet sitting needs and we would recommend him without hesitation to our friends.

Jack had a great rapport with our three active dogs and jumped into their daily routine. He took great care of our dogs and home while we were out of the country for a week. He kept in touch with daily updates and photos. Our dogs were relaxed and happy in his care. 10/10 recommend!

House Sitting • Aug 27, 2023

We had plans to board our dog for vacation but he got giardia and couldn't go. 3 days before our planned vacation, I contacted Jack and he saved us. Met me the next day and he became fast friends with Bear. Taking care of a dog with giardia isn't fun- up in the middle of the night and liquid poo, but Jack did it all. He sent us constant updates about how he was doing. Our dog loved Jack and the pictures made us more relieved that he was in good hands. Our rental offered us an additional night for free and Jack was more than happy to stay the extra night. Our house was well cared for in addition to our dog. Couldn't be more pleased! Thank you Jack!

Schedule

I wake up wanting to love something so why not your pet? Every day your dog will be filled with care, attention, and most importantly love. While I enjoy my morning coffee, your dog gets a tasty breakfast. This sets the stage for a day of fun and relaxation. Once energized, we head out for a refreshing walk tailored to your dog’s needs. Peaceful strolls around the neighborhood or exciting visits to the dog park. If you're comfortable, I encourage social interaction with other dogs, always prioritizing your dog’s safety. I remain attentive to their well-being and follow your guidance on socializing.

Safety, trust & environment

With love and attention! Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. When we’re together, you can trust that your furry friend will be in a secure, nurturing environment. We’ll go for enjoyable walks, exploring the neighborhood while ensuring your dog is always safe and happy. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll or some fun playtime, I make sure your dog enjoys every moment.After our walks, we’ll unwind together in a calm, cozy setting. Whether that means curling up on the couch to watch TV, lounging in the yard, or sitting under a tree to enjoy the fresh air, I’m all about creating a peaceful atmosphere where your dog can relax and feel at ease.I believe that quality time is about more than just activity; it’s also about those quiet moments of companionship that dogs cherish. I’m committed to making sure your dog feels love.

A typical day

While I enjoy a cup of coffee, your dog will start their day with a delicious breakfast. Once we’re both fueled up, we’ll head out for a refreshing walk to take in the local sights and smells. The Charles River isn't too far, so on a nice day, we might head down to the water. If your pup loves adventure, we can even visit the local dog park where they can stretch their legs and get some playtime in. ​I know how important social interaction is for dogs, and I’m always mindful of their natural instinct to explore and make new friends. During our outings, I’ll encourage your dog to socialize—but only if you're comfortable with it. Your dog’s safety and well-being are always my absolute top priorities. I’m dedicated to providing a positive, secure environment where they can truly enjoy themselves, whether that means a joyful romp with other dogs or a peaceful, relaxing walk.
