About: Hi there! I am excited to have the opportunity to possibly look after your pet(s) and provide the care that they need. I live in town close to many parks that we love to walk to if your pet would like some exercise. My child and I have lots of cuddles available for those pets who appreciate affection. We also welcome pets who just want to be left alone. I have a very flexible schedule and lots of experience working with pets. Please consider booking me for any pet needs! I work close to my home in Medford and am able to stop by my house multiple times a day if needed during boarding. I have a flexible schedule for walks and drop ins. I do not currently have pets in my home, so your pets would not need to get along with anyone:) I am very flexible to what they need or are comfortable with, so please just let me know and I’ll gladly work something out. Pets at my house have constant access to water and are allowed wherever the humans go.

“Jordan took the best care of Bailey while we were on vacation!! The communication was great and all of the pictures and updates were appreciated. We will definitely use Jordan again!!”


About: Hello! I’ve had pets since I was a child (mostly dogs) and have always had either cats or dogs (or both) as an adult. I also started fostering dogs about 6 years ago so I have been around many different types of dog breeds, from puppies to seniors. I have experience with kennel training puppies to get them potty trained. The rescue that I foster through has taught me so much and they’re a great resource for questions or concerns. I currently work from home and am looking for ways to get out of the house, earn money, and help other pet owners because I understand that not everyone can be home all the time. I’m compassionate, hard-working and I can’t wait to meet your 4 legged family member! I work full time from my home M-F and my job is pretty flexible. Evenings are typically open as well. Some days I can do early mornings. I would keep pets on a leash unless the yard is fenced in. They will always leashed on walks. I would administer medication if necessary, check water bowls, make sure they go potty and get some play time. I would give treats if allowed.

“Becky is the absolute best. She took care of my dog 100% and was very helpful and understanding. She was very responsive after the walks and how Buster did on the walks. I will use her again.”


About: I come from a dog family, where we are on our 3rd dog. I love going to dog parks to let dogs run around, taking dogs for extended walks when needed, and even running alongside when training. I understand the amount of care and devotion that a pet needs, and I strive to strengthen that sense of attention with clients whether doing check-ins, boarding, or regular pet-care. I would like to begin dog-sitting in a professional manner. I currently dog sit for family and family friends in the mornings and early afternoons. I am very flexible and can accommodate last-minute requests, making scheduling with me very simple. I would like to incorporate dog sitting more into my schedule to keep myself active and to explore my community more since I recently relocated to Weston. When caring for pets, I love to hold myself and the pet to a schedule to reinforce a sense of understanding and consistency with myself and the pet-owner. I tend to have more alert care when in a clients home/pet since it is not my own, but care for everything like it would be my own.

About: I grew up taking care of various animals including miniature donkeys, cats, dogs and chickens. With growing up with various pets I understand how imperative it is to have the proper care for every pet’s needs. I enjoy ensuring that all pets needs are met so they can be happy and healthy. I am attending North Central Technical college for an associates degree in human services. Additionally, I work part time (10-15 hrs) at Strive Behavioral Solutions with kids on the autism spectrum. My days are typically split up between a portion of school and work (depending on the day). I have the flexibility to adjust my schedule as needed to care for your pet. I will not be able to care for animals in my home. I take my job caring for your animals very seriously and will be responsible and thorough.

About: I have been an animal lover since I could remember and have years of experience with friends and families with dogs of every kind! It’s stressful being away from your pets and having the right care is what everyone deserves. I am also a college student in the pre-veterinary path!! I am home for the summer and would love to get to help people all around with taking care of their pups! I am free Monday-Sunday at any time of the day! I have a large fenced in yard with a 5 year old who loves spending time indoors and outdoors. She is very playful and loves running around with friends!

“This was my first time using Rover and Solia made it a great experience. I had to leave town last minute and she was quick to respond and so kind throughout the process. She took such good care of Blueberry, gave her a walk, fresh water, treats, and made sure she was settled before leaving. The update and photos were super thoughtful and gave me real peace of mind. I would definitely recommend her and will be booking again.”

About: Hi! My name is Quinn. Do you want a fun, experienced, and responsible dog sitter? than you've come to the right place! I am an 18 year old girl who is passionate about animals, dogs specifically! The dogs go on 6 or 7 walks every day around our beautiful neighborhood, and we love taking them down the bike paths and to a dog park! The dogs get to have exciting fun filled days of playing and going on walks. we own three other dogs, Millie, Kaia, and Greta that will love your furry friends. They are full of energy, and will wear your dogs out by running around the yard at full speed! Your dogs will love to play outside on our 20 acres of land. The dogs are always with me when we (my family or I) are outside. We go on long walks, as in over an hour! When we aren't walking with your dog, we will be playing in our yard or the playing inside the house. The dogs are part of our family and we treat them as our own. My family has owned dogs for 30+ years and I have had the responsibility of taking care of our dogs for 8+ years. Please provide the following for your friends before you leave them with us for their vacation: A crate. We understand that your dogs will need some time to themselves, so we always crate inside at night. This way you can sleep soundly knowing your dogs are safe, and they won't get in trouble while we're asleep. Your dog will feel more comfortable in his own crate. You can also bring a small blanket, bed or maybe one of your shirts that we can put in their crate for her/him. Food. Please provide an adequate amount of food that your dog normally eats. Please bring the kind of food your dog is used to eating, and let us know how much and how often your pupper eats. Toys, treats, a bed, leash, collar, harness etc. We can provide some of these things if you don't have them but if you have them, please bring it. Your happy dog, and peace of mind knowing that your dog might just be having a better vacation than you! Pet care fits naturally into my day-to-day life because I genuinely enjoy being around animals and making sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I currently don’t have a full-time job, which means I’m extremely flexible and available—perfect for dogs who need extra attention, consistency, or a customized schedule. I’m organized and responsible, so I can easily balance feeding, walking, playtime, and any special needs with the rest of my day. Taking care of pets adds something meaningful to my routine, and I truly enjoy every moment I spend with them. It’s not just a task, it’s something I take pride in. When dog sitting, I make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and comfortable in their own home. I stick closely to their regular routine, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions you provide. I give them plenty of attention, affection, and exercise to keep them happy and healthy while you’re away. I also monitor their behavior and well-being, and I’m quick to notice if anything seems off. Whether it’s giving belly rubs, tossing a favorite toy, or just keeping them company, I treat every dog like they’re my own.

About: Throughout my life, I have been surrounded by a variety of pets, and my love for animals has only deepened with each experience.

My home features two bedrooms, one of which can be designated as a quiet space for pets needing rest or can accommodate their crates if necessary. I also have a medium portable kennel that can be utilized for added comfort and security. My dog is friendly and well-socialized, but I believe in the importance of a proper introduction, so I would like to arrange a meet-and-greet before allowing any animal to stay over. Additionally, I'm more than happy to care for pets in their own homes, ensuring that they receive familiar and loving attention. Your pet's welfare is my top priority, and I am committed to providing a safe and loving environment tailored to their needs.

Animals and I seem to connect right away. In the Fall of 2023 I left the corporate world of office work to pursue enjoying life more and less stress. Early retirement with a side gig…my children are grown and my schedule is open now to help others. I’m very comfortable with animals of all sizes and have experience administering meds. I’m very open to following whatever schedule or routine you have your animals on. If they just need someone to come play or walk them to expend their energy, that’s perfect also.
