Dog Sitting in Newton

About: I have lived with dogs since I was born but really started to help with my family’s dog around age 5. Family members, friends, and coworkers have relied on me to walk, feed, stay overnight with, and care for their dogs. I am a recent college graduate participating in the Disney College Program! I typically have only 6 hour shifts which leaves me with plenty of time to help you care for your pets! I will ensure you that I will follow all instructions you provide and more! I have a 5 year old mini Golden Doodle that I love and miss dearly! When watching your pup, I would treat them as if they were my own!

“Xi is a cat lover through and through!! I loved the daily cute updates and photos a lot, and I felt good knowing my little furballs were so well taken care of. I’ll definitely be rebooking and referring her. I can’t say enough good things about this experience.”

About: My name is Jeanne, I have been taking care of pets for over 20 years. I love them as my own. I believe in order to gain trust and respect with an animal is to trust and respect them as well! I am trained as a RN, and can provide special care for your special pet as needed. I'm currently working full time but am available to come to you on your schedule! I can adapt to your pet needs. I am available to stay at your home as needed for overnight visits. Whatever yours and your pets ' needs i can come to you. I have found success in going to the owners home, keeping your pet in familiar surroundings, keeping them happy!

“Always incredibly appreciative of Michaela’s time and care with our kitties! She’s so sweet with them and it always feels like having a friend check on them I’m just so confident in having her there :)”

“Stephanie has become our trusted caretaker for Pepper when we are out of town. She is great at sending daily updates and goes above and beyond to take good care of Pepper, who is usually one to keep to herself but comes out from hiding to see Stephanie when she comes over!”

About: Hello everyone, I’m new here! I’ve grown up and have taken care of pets my entire life, I have a dog of my own and have fostered many breeds and ages of dogs through Last Hope K9 as well since 2017 (more than 100 dogs saved). I treat all animals as if they are my children and give them as much love and attention as possible! I believe pets are a big part of your family. As a school counselor, my day job is to take care of families, and that’s what I’m looking to do here too! I have a lot of experience with all kinds of dogs and look forward to taking care of your furry friend! I’m a school counselor, so I’m available after work/at night time typically after 3pm for any of your pet needs. I’m available most weekends. I also have all school vacations, summers off and available for holiday sitting. Me and my husband have a fully fenced in yard in a safe, and quiet neighborhood on the Haverhill, MA/Plaistow, NH line. I have a very friendly and low/medium energy dog of my own who loves other pets and will definitely keep yours company! I always want to try to copy and paste what they are familiar with while you're away, so that they are as comfortable as possible. This looks different for every dog, and we are flexible to that. Safety is a huge priority at our house. Dogs are never left unattended in our fenced in back yard, me or my husband will always be outside watching them. We also never let the dogs off leash if we take them to the public park/walking trail across the street from our house.

“Watanya is the best cat sitter I’ve ever seen. She was consistent and thoughtful with our sweet senior cat. She fed and refreshed her water daily. After every visit, she sent an update with photos and videos so we could rest assured knowing our girl was in good hands. She really went above and beyond! Ombre ADORES her and we will certainly be booking her again! If you have a chance to work with Watanya, you should take it”

About: I’ve owned pets my whole life, I have an interest in caring for animals, I’ve been working at a dog daycare and enjoy it very much. It’s definitely helped me gain a lot of experience and confidence in working with animals. I currently work part-time five days a week with weekends off, I’ll definitely be able to get in some beloved pup play time and care any weekend day and a day during the week could work as well. A time in the morning or mid afternoon would fit well. I currently have 3 cats and they are strictly indoors but during spring, summer, and fall they go outside for a brief time monitored. I can take your dog or cat outdoors whenever they need and if needed I can crate your pup, as well as take them outdoors when needed and/or for playtime and fresh air. I am comfortable taking dogs for walks down the street or just simply playing in the backyard which ever is preferred by the client.

About: I’m a licensed veterinarian in Brazil and I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life. My father is a huge dog lover, so I grew up helping care for our family pets from a very young age. In Brazil, I had four dogs who are now happily living with my parents. Here in the U.S., I have my sweet mini Goldendoodle, Madalena, who is very friendly and loves having company. Because of my background in Veterinary Medicine and my lifelong experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities, I feel very confident providing safe, responsible, and attentive care. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I work at a coffee shop from 6:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. After 3:30 p.m., I’m fully available for pet care, including walks, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting. On Sundays and Mondays, I’m off from work and available all day for boarding, daycare, and other services. Your dog’s safety and comfort always come first. I offer a calm, clean, and cozy home environment where pets can relax, play, and feel secure. My mini Goldendoodle, Madalena, is very friendly and gentle, which helps visiting dogs feel more comfortable and welcomed. Whether your pet stays in my home or I care for them in yours, I always follow their routine exactly as instructed—feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and rest. I’m very attentive to body language and behavior to make sure each dog feels safe, respected, and stress-free. I provide constant supervision when I’m home, lots of love and positive interaction, and a peaceful space where dogs can settle in comfortably. My goal is to make every pet feel like part of the family.

“Leah has been absolutely amazing taking care of my dog Otis while I recover from surgery. She is easy to communicate with, shows up on time with a smile, and most importantly clearly truly cares about Otis being happy and getting the care he needs. I am incredibly grateful to have found such a wonderful and caring person to help take care of my pet.”

About: I’ve taken care of pets for as long as I can remember! I have my own fur baby and I know how important exercise is. My dog is my life, and I will treat yours with the same care! I work from home with flexible hours, and love to get out side for my lunch breaks as much as possible! I am having my first (human) baby in July and will be on maternity for 4 months. I want to stay active and walk as much as I can! Clients home would be best for pet care, walking in your neighborhood or letting dogs out to play and use the bathroom in your yard!

About: I have 5 years of professional dog experience varying from being doggy daycare assistant manager, a kennel attendant, and training apprentice. I have a lot of experience with working breeds and puppies. I have experience administering medications, dealing with reactivity and anxious dogs. I am also well versed in canine/feline nutrition! I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to care for your pup! I’m typically free all day Monday and Wednesday and most days after 2pm! I love taking dogs on trail walks and playing games like fetch with them or enrichment activities, I could also do a playdate with my dog if wanted!

“Simply amazing with our dogs. Sarah even managed to walk all 3 dogs at once, each a 100Lbs dog. Continuous updates with pics and videos is one of many staples. We love her and so do our dogs! Thank you so much Sarah.”

About: Taking care of animals is my joy. I have 3 healthy cats and an 8 week old puppy at home who I take care of, and I have been dog and cat sitting since I was around 12. When I was younger I put up flyers around town for my little pet care business, and people loved how I took care of their animals. I am currently working part time and in online school, so my schedule is very flexible and I have lots of time to take care of animals! My cats that I have had for years are healthy and happy and they are my best friends. I have never missed feeding or playing or cuddling, and I will treat my clients animals like they are my own. In my clients home I like to make sure the animal is properly taken care of and that everything is under control, whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, nail clipping, whatever it is!

About: I grew up with a family pet and currently have a dog my wife and I rescued. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and play with their pets. Let me help you and your furry friend! Currently have a flexible work schedule so available any day with proper notification. Can walk, run, or play with your pup, just let me know! I have a fenced in backyard, and a friendly dog at home to play with as well. Crate inside the home available for use and plenty of toys to for a fun environment!

About: Michael (or Briar as they prefer to be called) have had cats and dogs (of all shapes and sizes) for most of their life, raising many from kittens or puppies to well into their twilight years as a part of their family. This has allowed Briar have experience with all manner of friend, whether they be bundles of energy, trembling balls of anxious fluff, or friends that need way more belly rubs than a hand can give. Regardless your pet, they will always be showered with love and gentle touch when taken care of by Briar! I'm currently working part time, so I am definitely able to stop in, do a check up, give some attention, belly rubs, and love, and be on my way! All Briar wishes for our furry friend(s) is their safety and comfortability, especially when you're away! I want to keep an environment that is familiar and nonintrusive as possible, allowing your ease of mind to match theirs. Quick hello and some extra love will always be given

“Sharon was fantastic! She did drop in visits for our dog Izzie and we couldn't have been happier. Sharon kept us updated with photos and text messages each visit. Sharon is clearly an animal lover and treated Izzie like one of her own. We highly recommend Sharon and we can’t wait to use her again.”

“Great with my pets while I was gone. Would definitely use her services again. Thanks for taking care of my fur babies.”
