Dog Sitting Natick

About: Hi, I am Julie, a lifelong animal lover who grew up with dogs and recently said goodbye to my cherished 13-year-old pit/lab mix after years of loving companionship. Four years ago, I turned my deep passion for animals into a professional career, and I would be truly honored to care for your furry family members as if they were my own. Dogsitting is a calling that chose me just as much as I chose it, and because cats and dogs naturally gravitate toward me, I take special joy in winning over even the most timid pets. I am currently working part-time with a highly flexible schedule, allowing me ample time to give your furry friend the love and attention they deserve. As a massage therapist, I bring a gentle touch to my pet care, ensuring your pup receives plenty of petting, belly rubs, and ear scratches—if they enjoy that kind of affection. I prioritize their comfort and well-being, adjusting my daily routine to meet the specific needs of your pet. Whether it's taking them for long, leisurely walks or adhering to a strict feeding schedule, I am dedicated to providing the best care. Additionally, I am experienced in administering medications, ensuring that your pet’s health is always in good hands. Your pup will feel pampered and loved while you are away!

“Great communication! I our dog was well loved! Would definitely ask them to care for our pet again.”

“Sarah was really great with our two cats! She was able to give our one cat the meds she needs and sent many updates throughout the week! She was very attentive and always answered right away. Definitely will book with Sarah again in the future!”

About: We are a husband and wife team, raising our own Vizsla, Bella. Between the two of us, we are always looking after our own dog and it's easy for us to provide doggy day care or overnight care in our home. We welcome well trained, friendly dogs as well as puppies. We have flexible schedules and spend a lot of time exercising our own dog. Our dog requires a lot of exercise so we often run her in our fenced in yard as well as the park near our house. We never leave our dog alone for more than 3 hours at the most. We have a very dog friendly home, and pets are free to roam about, provided they're trained and won't be destructive to furniture. We like our dogs to feel comfortable always, so they are allowed on couches, etc and we have a lot of comfy areas for them to hang.

About: I've been looking after dogs, cats, and exotic pets for about 10 years now. I have a dog, 2 cats, and a leopard gecko of my own, so I know how to take care of all types of animals! I originally started my pet care journey with family pets, and slowly began gaining clients through family friends and being recommended to other people. I have handled all age ranges from kittens to seniors, so I'm able to do a wide array of services (administering medicine, being extra observant, correcting behavior, training, etc.) I'm able to be outside in all kinds of weather, and I can walk or play with your animals for as long as you prefer! I currently work full-time, but I still have plenty of time to care for your animals! My work is very flexible and I am often able to step away to visit your animals. I am completely free on Saturday afternoons, all day Sunday, and all day Monday. Depending on what environment your animal has at your home, I cater to your every preference. On leash, off leash, crated, no pets on furniture, etc. I always make sure to respect my clients homes and most importantly their wishes!

“Christie has taken great care of my dog and cat, while I was away on 2 separate trips. She communicated with me and sent pictures every day, and was not afraid to ask questions for things she was uncertain about. I will definitely continue to have Christie watch my pets while I'm away.”

About: Hi, I’m Alex, and I run Dover Doggy Hotel & Daycare LLC! I cater to residents in the Needham, Wellesley, Dover, Medfield, Sherborn and Walpole areas. Your dogs, are my medicine. I don’t feel complete without one. Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve always believed that every pup deserves love, safety, and a cozy place to call home. I started out working for PETCO in aquatics in high school and fell in love with animals From 2012–2014, I served in the U.S. Peace Corps in Ukraine, where I taught English at the high school level in Dnipro, where I also co-managed an animal shelter caring for more than 150 dogs. During that time, I fostered Staffordshire Terriers, Pit Bulls, and other large breeds, gaining hands-on experience with everything from playful puppies to strong, large, high-energy dogs. Since then, I’ve continued caring for dogs of all sizes through fostering, boarding, and walking and daycare. Today, I mainly host small and medium sized dogs. I have a safe, fenced-in yard to play in, and plenty of cozy spots inside where pups are welcome on the couch (and yes, even in the bed if that’s what they’re used to!). I’m also happy to do drop-in visits for larger dogs at their own homes and walking. I also run a flexible,, multi option daycare program. I treat every dog like family, tailoring care to their needs—whether that’s long walks, lots of playtime, or just snuggles and companionship. I also have multiple client references available upon request. Your pup’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities, and I’d love the chance to give them the care and attention they deserve! Right now, pet care is my top priority! I have a very open and flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate full-time attention to the dogs I care for. While I do have the occasional online doctor’s appointment or small obligations, my days are wide open for walks, playtime, and socialization. I can comfortably care for up to 4* dogs in my home at a time, giving them lots of one-on-one attention. For walks and drop-in visits, I’m available for up to 4 dogs* (depending on size). My flexible routine means your pup will never feel rushed; just relaxed, loved, and cared for like family. Daily routine is up for first bathroom break out back at 8:30, walks and or dog park every day and another bathroom break at 9 -9:30. In bed by 10-10:30. I have one of the best facilities on Rover. You will not be disappointed. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my #1 priority. I live on a 1 acre property with a gigantic fenced-in backyard where pups can play securely and safely. Inside, dogs are welcome to relax wherever they feel most comfortable….on the couch, in bed, or by my side. Trust is very important to me. I know how much pets mean to their families, so I treat every dog like my own, with patience, kindness, and consistency. I keep owners updated with photos and messages, so you’ll always know your pup is happy, safe, and cared for. There’s no other animals* (possibly other dogs boarding) or children in the home to distract or to become an issue. When caring for a clients home, I treat it as if it were my own and offer extra services like bringing in mail & feeding fish & basic general tasks etc. If you would like to see the property you can take a virtual tour here and see where your dog will be staying and to get a sense of the size of the property upon request.

“Sabrina was a fantastic caretaker for my pup during his lunch time walks! She was responsive, gave great updates and I could tell my dog was in a great hands!”

About: Growing up, we always did pet sitting for our friends when they were away on trips(Schanuzer's and Poodle's specifically). I would walk them three times a day, pick their poop, and feed them food and water. Additionally, when I am at school, I have helped local friends walk their dogs on campus and around the Westwood/Beverley Hills area. I am pretty much free the whole week along with weekends. I do work so availability will vary per week. However, I am always at home overnight everyday, and I also have my parents at home. My home is set up to ensure a safe, secure, and comfortable environment for pets. We separate the upstairs and downstairs areas to prevent access to any potentially dangerous furniture or household products, like bathroom toiletries. Our home is equipped with security cameras, which allows for continuous monitoring to ensure your pet's safety and well-being at all times. We also maintain a clean, clutter-free space to eliminate any tripping hazards or opportunities for injury.

About: Open for ongoing and temporary opportunities around needham, newton and wellesley 🐶💟 Growing up with dogs in the family made me learn how to care for them naturally and see animals as friends. I will be more than happy to know your buddy, make sure they have everything they need, and have amazing moments together. I’m working part time and mostly available up to two hours during the morning and evenings after 5pm. Weekends are flexible with all day availability and flexibility. I always double check any house doors, to make sure it’s safe. Keep them near me in any outdoor environment is a rule, never unleashed or left alone outside. I’ll love to know more about your dogs habits and personality to adjust to their needs, restrictions and expectations.

About: Hi! I am excited to meet your pets! I have had animals my whole life and have a special loving bond with all animals! I have done pet sitting and work in shelters for a number of years. Pet care is my daily responsibilities with my own pets at home. I volunteer at shelters but would love to make your pets part of my day! I am very knowledgeable about animal behavior and animal needs. I understand the importance of understanding each animal and their needs! I approach each animal slowly and calmly to help comfort them as we get to know each other.

About: Hi! I’m Yasmin, and if there’s one thing you should know about me, it’s that I’ve never met an animal I didn’t love. I grew up on a farm, so being around animals has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. From furry to feathery to scaly, they’ve always had a special place in my heart. Over the years I’ve had all kinds of pets, from hermit crabs and fish to cats and dogs, and I can’t wait to have even more when the time is right! Because I genuinely love animals, I’ve spent a lot of time learning about their care, behavior, and what helps them feel happy and safe. I know every pet is different, and I love getting to know their unique personalities. When I’m not spending time with my own pets, I work as a realtor, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for yours. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just having someone nearby, I’m happy to match their pace and make them feel comfortable while you’re away. I’d love the chance to meet you and your best friend! My goal is to make sure you can leave knowing they’re in loving, reliable hands and maybe make a new furry (or scaly!) friend along the way. 🐾 My schedule is pretty flexible! During the week, I’m typically available after 2:00 PM unless I have a work appointment scheduled. Since I’m a realtor, my schedule can vary from day to day, but I do my best to keep my calendar up to date and communicate any changes. Fridays and weekends are a little less predictable. Some weekends I’m completely available, while others I may be booked with work or personal plans. When I am available on weekends, it’s usually between 9:00 AM and 2:00 PM. If you have a specific date or time in mind, feel free to reach out! I’m always happy to see if I can make it work for you and your pet. 🐾 While I won’t be caring for pets in my own home, I’d be more than happy to care for them in yours! I know every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, so I always appreciate detailed instructions. The more information you can share, the better I can make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being will always be my top priorities. I’ll treat them with the same love, patience, and attention I’d give my own pets, and I’ll always keep you updated for extra peace of mind. When it comes to walks, I’m especially mindful during the summer months. I prefer walking dogs on grassy or shaded paths whenever possible, and if it’s too hot outside, I’ll adjust our plans to keep them safe. Hot pavement can burn paw pads, and dogs can overheat quickly, so I always prioritize their comfort and safety over sticking to a schedule.

About: I've had a dog most of my life and I love them! They are my love and passion. I enjoy walking them and working on some simple training skills. I have a 1.5 year old Golden retriever and he loves to play with dogs too! I am a local realtor in town and my husband owns his own business and works from home most of the time. Our schedules are very flexible so we are home a lot and able to cover for 1 another if need be. We have 4 kids so our home always has people coming and going. The kids love dogs too, they are begging for another! I have an electric fence in our yard so if your dog is trained on it already, it can work in my yard as well. I have our kitchen and family room gated off so the dogs are in a safe environment, in case your dog eats things. My dog eats socks, tissues and toilet paper, so when I'm not home, I keep him in the gated space in the house. He has lots of toys in there and loves to play and look out the back door into the backyard. He's a very happy baby as I'm sure your dog would be too.

“Very good job!”

About: I've been doing pet care since I was 8 and have lots of experience with animals of all ages and personalities. Typical animal care from me looks like refilling food and water, walks, cleaning litter boxes, and finding creative ways to keep your animals thoroughly entertained. This summer I'm taking online college classes so my schedule is super flexible. The only set times I'll be busy doing virtual classes are from 11:00-4:30 on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Please let me know what times work for you. I will always make sure to keep your dogs on leashes when not in fenced in areas to ensure your pup's safety is accounted for.

“Natasha was Great! She watched over our 4-month old puppy while we went out on our own for the first time. She got him through the whining and right into playing, training and resting. She took pictures, and gave us a thoughtful report on what she saw, based on her experience in training dogs. Highly recommended!”

“Georgina did a wonderful job taking care of our kitties! She sent us a report every day of how things went and also sent great photos. Our cats our shy but they went to greet Georgina at the door. She took the time to play with our cats and was patient when they were being shy. I highly recommend Georgina and would definitely hire her to take care of our cats in the future!”

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was little, my own pets and my family/ friends pets as well. I love dogs and I consider myself as a good, responsible and caring dog sitter. I have pet care as part of my regular routine. I make sure any of the pets I stay with are fed on time, have fresh water, get enough exercise, and receive attention throughout the day. I also keep up with grooming, cleaning, and any appointments they may need. I’m also available for boarding Monday - Friday anytime I take care of pets by making sure they are fed, have fresh water, and get plenty of attention and exercise. I follow their owner’s instructions and routine, including walks, playtime, medication if needed, and keeping their space clean. I also make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away.

About: I have two years of experience looking after dogs and cats. I work from home and have a flexible schedule to board and provide walks for pets. I currently work part time and am able to provide walks or board animals 7 days a week. I have a very flexible schedule throughout the week. I live in a spacious apartment with a nice park across the street to go for walks. I am also very respectful of other peoples spaces.

About: Hi there! I'm Amanda, and I'm a 43 year old lifelong animal lover & animal behavior nerd, that has been providing occasional petsitting and housesitting for friends and community for about 15 years in the metro Boston, Atlanta, & Asheville areas, and now petsit full time for cats, dogs, and small animals. I even have experience working at an animal hospital assisting veterinary technicians and doctors with testing, medication, grooming, first aid, and general care! I grew up with a Siberian husky, fish, and guinea pig, along with family that bred rottweilers, and have done rescue work and fostering with husky, malamute, and pug rescue groups, as well as sitting for dog breeds ranging from rescued pit bull terriers, to award winning toy, miniature, & standard show poodle breeders, to paraplegic rescue mutts, to great danes trained as mobility service dogs, so I have extensive experience with dogs of all sizes, activity ranges, and temperaments. As a huge nature lover and avid hiker, I'm always delighted to take your pup (or kitty, if leash trained!) on woodsy walks daily! While I am not a certified trainer, I'm familiar with many training methods and understand daily training needs as well, so I'm very happy to assist and continue with training during sits, whatever furry, feathered, or scaley species your babies may be! Cats are an absolute joy I've come to adore, having lived with many over the past 15 years, and recently gotten to live with and help raise a tiny kitten for the first time! I've worked with diabetic cats, giving daily injections, as well as numerous cats & dogs with various oral medication and special mobility needs, so I'm comfortable with all sorts of special needs furbabies. Over the years I've been fortunate to learn so much more deeply about and work with small pets like rabbits and guinea pigs, and love caring for these gentle creatures. I have some experience living with and caring for chickens, parrots, snakes, and lizards as well. While avian and reptile care is still somewhat newer to me, I've developed quick rapport with the few snakes, lizards, and parrots I've had the pleasure of meeting and caring for over the years! I have minimal experience with horses and livestock animals, but I do have some and very willing and excited to learn more. I do have a couple minor physical limitations due to lower back problems; I have medical restrictions on lifting over 20 lbs or working bent over for long periods, so despite my active lifestyle, I am unfortunately unable to work with animals over that weight limit that need to be lifted, carry large bags of food, litter, etc. I am totally able to break down bags of food/litter and moving them in smaller containers though, and do normal household chores like trash, laundry, and cleaning without any issues. As I haven't used Rover a whole lot for my work, I can also link you to my Trusted Housesitters profile via message to see my many 5 star reviews from other pet parents! I am currently petsitting full time. I do occasionally pick up some additional work, however the hours are on my own time and completely flexible, so my schedule can be fully adjusted to the needs of your pets and home. I LOVE house sits, especially long ones, and working with pets where they're most comfortable, and am willing to travel for extended sits! I also have extensive gardening and general basic home maintenance experience, so am happy to care for your home & garden during house sits. I currently offer full time, professional, highly experienced pet-sitting in my clients' homes, and have no pets of my own (my previous career unfortunately just wasn't suitable). I will happily walk your pup (or kitty! Or ferret, or iguana, you name it!) a few times a day, including longer walks and hikes if desired, and plenty of cuddles and playtime. I have considerable dog training experience, so can offer some continued training support if there is anything you're working on as well.
