Pet care experience

Here for your pet caretaking needs

I now have an 8:30am-5pm Mon-Friday on-site job in Needham. I am available for overnight housesitting from 6pm-7am, evening walks and dropins between 5:30pm - 8pm on most Mondays and Tuesdays. Weekends I may be available for dropins or walks after 11:30am. Please message me directly for most up-to-date availability as my schedule changes frequently. I have experience with 5 dogs over the course of my personal life as pets in addition to professional house and pet-sitting for others as well. Currently I have a 12 year old golden retriever named Gracie and an 8 year old Sato rescued from Puerto Rico named Tia who I love very much and receive lots of play time and walks. I have a flexible schedule to drop in, walk, or sit for your dog(s) overnight so you can enjoy your time away from home without worrying about your pets, they are sure to be in good hands! Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with any inquiries as I would love to help you out! Cats, fish, bunnies, and any other animals are welcome too!

Safety, trust & environment

I live on a lake if your dog would enjoy swimming and there are wooded paths to walk as well. I have 2 nice dogs at home so if your dog gets along well with others, it can come to my house. Short stays where the dogs are separated would work as well. In your own home, I will do whatever is necessary to help the dog stick to his/her normal routine.

Drop-In Visits • Jun 15, 2026

She charges per cat instead of per visit and didn’t show up for a full hour when I was charged for 30 minute visits for each cat. The app showed she was checking in for about 40-45 mins…

Julia was on time and very kind. My pup liked her immediately. She sent photos and updates which I appreciated.

Julia is great! She was very communicative and flexible with our changing schedules. She was prompt and on time, and our dog Luna seemed to have a great walk!

It is good to know how the dog would respond to a new person (me coming to the come) as well as people and animals we encounter while outside. It’s also important to know their food and bathroom schedule/habits.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass an identity verification. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support and reimbursement for eligible vet care.

These prices are for 1 dog, including a booking fee of 11%.
