House Sitting in Newton

“Victoria did a great job with Freya (who can be very shy and anxious with new people). She kept me updated with pics and texts throughout the session. I would definitely trust her to watch Freya again!”

Freya K.

“K and Izzy were instant friends and from the pictures I received Izzy clearly had a ball (literally and figuratively)! K ensured she had a romp in a park, plenty of time to play ball and lots of attention and snuggles through her day. Izzzy was contentedly snoring in her crate when I returned home. Thank you, K!”

“Alana was wonderful - she’s responsive during the booking process and followed all the notes we went over during our meet and greet discussion. I have an 11 month old whippet who is a little nervous to be left with a new person, but he warmed right up to her! Alana was very patient and gave lots of updates. Would definitely use her sitting services again.”

“Rachael took great care of our dogs and house. We got frequent updates and pictures, and the dogs seemed happy and well taken care of when we got home. I’d highly recommend booking her for house sitting!”

Caroline W.

“Cynthia did a great job with my year-old German Shepherd. She was extremely accommodating and helpful. Cynthia accepted the job on less than a day’s notice and came early in the morning upon our request. She sent several pictures and played with the dog constantly while we were away. I recommend her services to anyone and will look for her again if I’m back in the area.”

Ben D.

“Nicole was excellent on her services. She stayed in our apartment for a house visit and she was super respectful of the place. She was very effective in communication and I was never wondering what our dog was up to, since Nicole planned out several activities and outings. I’m 100% hoping to re-book her for any future needs.”

Manuel G.

“Valeria was amazing! My dog took to her right away, like legitimately spent more time with her than she does me. She sent lots of pictures and kept me well updated. Also, she left the house cleaner than I had which was nice to come home to. We’ll definitely be repeat customers!”

Amelia K.

“Kathleen was excellent company for our two small, senior dogs. The little guy can be a little slow to warm, but Kathleen handled it wonderfully. She's super communicative and sent adorable photos throughout our time away. It was easy to rest easy on vacation knowing things were well under control at home.”

Kimberly S.

“Camila was a great pet sitter! She was a great communicator, very polite, and Stella loved her! Highly recommend using Camila! We will be contacting her for our future weekend trips!”

Camila P.

“Matisse was great with our senior miniature dachshund! He takes a couple meds and we knew he was in good hands the whole time we were gone. We would definitely book with her again.”

Judy F.

“Sara took wonderful care of Charlie and I would certainly leave him with her again. Even though he can be shy, Charlie took to Sara the first time he met her which put me right at ease. It was easy to communicate with her and it was so nice to receive pictures of them together. When I returned it was obvious that Charlie was well taken care of and that my condo was left as clean and neat as I left it!!”

Cheryl L.

“Debbie took great care of my dogs while I was away for a week! She sent daily updates and my dogs clearly loved spending time with her. Will definitely be having her take care of them again!”

Eleanor K.

“Moose loved his night hanging with Ani! My plans were last minute, so I reached out to Ani only a few hours before needing her. She was quick to respond and very professional. She even came by before to meet Moose and learn some paticulars about him. She was very communicative and send updates often along with pictures. I felt at ease all night and loved the pictures of him. Definitely will be using Ani in the future!”

Jordan C.

“Rachel was wonderful. She did a meet and greet which was great to get to know alabaster, my two-year-old Pomsky, and to make sure that we were a good fit. She had my dog for several days and stayed at my home to watch him and when I arrived back his nervous system was calm and he seemed so happy as though I never left at all. Would definitely have Rachel again for watching my pup alabaster. She was great at communicating but not overly communicating keeping me updated on things that seemed important and essential but yet made me feel like she was under control and could care for alabaster while I was gone.”

“Paige and her husband were the sweetest dog sitters, took our Nora for a walk by the reservoir and I can tell our dog had a great time! Thank you Paige!”

About: I've grown up around dogs my entire life and have owned my current terrier mix Lemon for the past five years, since adopting her from a rescue in TX. She's dog-reactive on leash, so I’ve developed strong skills in reading dog body language, managing difficult situations calmly, and avoiding triggers and other dogs to keep her safe and comfortable. I bring that same level of attentiveness and care to every dog I walk or sit for. As a U.S. Army veteran, I'm reliable, detail-oriented, and take safety seriously—your dog’s well-being is always my top priority. I tailor every walk or visit to meet each dog's individual needs, whether they’re energetic puppies, seniors who need a gentler pace, or dogs that need space from others. I have a passion for animals and love dogs of all sizes and breeds! No matter what, you can count on me to treat your dog like my own (and my dog is treated like a family member, not just a pet)! I'm currently on a sabbatical from my full-time corporate finance job, which allows me the flexibility to focus entirely on pet care during the week. I'm available for house-sitting, walks, and drop-in visits at nearly any time Monday through Friday. While I'm usually unavailable on weekends, I'm happy to accommodate with advance notice whenever possible. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine, and I truly enjoy giving dogs the attention, structure, and companionship they need throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I always follow your instructions closely, whether it’s feeding, administering medication, reinforcing training, or sticking to a specific walk schedule. I take time to get to know each dog’s personality so I can provide the kind of care that helps them feel safe, comfortable, and happy in their own environment. During house-sitting stays, I also keep the home tidy and secure—bringing in mail, taking out trash, and providing updates with photos so you have peace of mind while you're away. I’m respectful of your space and treat it like my own. For walks and drop-in visits, I make sure your pet gets quality time, attention, and exercise tailored to their energy level and temperament. Whether it’s a brisk walk or some backyard playtime, I focus on safety, companionship, and clear communication with you every step of the way.

About: I grew up with a dog and cat, so I know how to read their moods and respond with patience and care. I love spending time outdoors and making sure every dog gets exercise, play, and attention. I’m experienced with puppies, including basic training and socialization, and with senior dogs, providing gentle walks, extra comfort, and medication reminders if needed. I treat every pet as if they were my own, and I’m committed to keeping them happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I am currently looking for a job so I have plenty of time to spend with your dog or cat. I love incorporating walks as part of my day and would love to bring your dog along (if they enjoy it). I'm happy to spend as much time with your pet as they need. I have a safe and quiet apartment if I need to bring your pet home. If going to your home, I will respect all rules and ensure your pet gets the care they need while you;re away.

“Sara took great care of our dog and cat while we vacationed. We were very happy with her service and she gave us great peace of mind while we were away with her updates!”

Tracy C.

“Cressida did a great job taking care of Piper. Communicated effectively with us, sent photos, and was very professional. Highly recommend!”

Caroline B.

“Josh was absolutely fantastic! From the very beginning, he was kind, reliable, and clearly had a genuine love for animals. Oliver immediately felt comfortable with him, which says a lot, because my pet doesn’t warm up to just anyone. The house was left spotless, and I came home to a happy, calm pet. It was clear my pet was happy, relaxed, and well taken care of the whole time. I would 100% recommend Josh to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and professional. We’ll definitely be booking again!”
