About: Hi There! As a lifelong animal lover, I understand that your pets deserve exceptional care when you can't be there. I've personally owned dogs, cats, rabbits, lizards, snakes, various fish, and even a hedgehog. I treat every pet as if they were my own and can provide the specialized care they need to feel safe and happy. 🐕 Dogs - Daily walks, playtime, feeding, and all the belly rubs they deserve 🐱 Cats - Feeding, litter box care, cuddles, and play time 🐰 Rabbits - Proper feeding, habitat maintenance, and pets (only if they like it) 🦎 Reptiles - Temperature monitoring, feeding, and habitat care 🐠 Fish - Feeding and basic tank maintenance I have a flexible schedule that can be adapted to your pets needs, whether that's midday walks or multiple daily check-ins. Just let me know what you are looking for and we can work together to schedule a time. I can help maintain your pet's normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I'll follow your feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any special instructions as you've outlined.
“Ainsley was so great! I immediately felt comfortable with her taking care of my baby because it was obvious she cares and her communication was great. So grateful!”

“Exceptional communication and updates from Paul&Rachel, not only that, I had to find a sitter literally the night before and they got back to me promptly! Lovely report cards, great pics, and cared for my cat as if he were their own!”

“My cat and I were lucky to find Katherine. She has been very kind and friendly toward my cat. Also, Katherine always followed my instructions carefully and were responsive to my requests.”

“Belen kept us updated with photos and videos when she checked on our cat Paddington while we were away. She was very responsive and Paddington seemed to like her a lot. We are very grateful!”

“Emma was so receptive to coming over and meeting our pups last minute for a visit the next day! Emma played with our pups and made sure they were safe and secure when she left. Hope she is willing to visit with them again!”

“Tommy was wonderful with our two cats. They were especially patient with our elderly cat who needed more time to eat. They took their time feeding and playing with the cats, made sure the doors were locked, and were kind enough to bring in any packages that were delivered when we were gone. Would definitely contact again next time we need a sitter.”

About: With 7 years caring for my own dogs, I provide reliable, loving, and attentive daily care so every pup feels safe, happy, and at home. With seven years of professional dog care experience, I provide daily attention, affection, and comfort to ensure every single pup I care for feels safe and happy. I offer attentive in-home care, ensuring your pets receive personalized love, regular feeding, daily walks, and dedicated playtime to keep them happy and secure.
“Samantha has been amazing. From our initial meet and greet to multiple visits with my kitten, she has been thoroughly communicative, polite, and professional. She has great attention to detail and went above and beyond in providing updates. She even put the cat food away neater than I had left it for her. As a first time pet parent, I felt very comforted that my cat was in kind and safe hands. Beyond feeding, I mainly wanted a companion for my kitten as she is young, and Samantha played with all her favorite toys with her. I’d trust her with anyone’s pet, and I can’t wait to use her services again. Thank you Samantha!”


About: I grew up with 5 dogs, now have 2 at home with my parents and one of my own in Boston with me. Willing to walk and exercise dogs twice a day. I provide lots of love and care for any animal I am around, can also help with other animals in the house, if need be. Spent a summer working in a veterinary office taking care and looking after all animals, can give medications and pay special attention to the needs of dogs. Full time working professional but willing to work out any schedule needed to take care of your pets! Would love to get to spend time with dogs while I am away from mine, so always eager to take on the sitting/walking/running challenge! Also as an added bonus always willing to take cute photos of your dog and send them along to you! I am currently a full time working professional. Am available for check ins and walks as my calendar allows and it will be updated weekly. I care for my clients pets the same way I would care for my own. I always call my clients pets my pets away from home and will provide only the best exercise, care, and love that they deserve.
About: I bring a calm, reliable, and highly attentive approach to pet care—shaped not just by helping friends and neighbors, but by raising my own very happy, well-loved Goldendoodle. I understand firsthand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I’m naturally detail-oriented, so I stick closely to routines, feeding schedules, and each pet’s unique personality. Whether your dog needs long walks and playtime or a more relaxed, steady presence, I adapt to what makes them feel most comfortable. I’ll keep you updated with regular photos and notes so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is simple: your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for—and you get complete peace of mind while you’re away. Not currently working so available to look after 24/7 and at home most of the time. They’ll be with me a lot of the time! My chilled goldendoodle makes even the most nervous of dogs feel comfortable. I have an unfenced yard so always take the dogs out on the lead for a quick bathroom break back there when needed and then do 2-3 walks a day depending on the dogs needs/weather. I have a very dog friendly home with lots of space to play and then in the evenings it’s cuddles watching Netflix! They’re more than welcome on the bed but can also accommodate a crate if you’d prefer. My guest bathroom is all set up for doggy baths if you’d like a clean sparkly dog on your return :)
“Owen was very communicative, highly dependable, and did an amazing job with the cat visits. I highly recommend him and would definitely seek him out again in future”

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover with 13+ years of experience caring for my own German Shepherd–Retriever mix, Max. I’m energetic, active, and love long walks and playtime with younger dogs, while also having experience providing gentle care for Princess a senior dog. Reliable, attentive, and caring, I’ll treat your dog like family. 🐾 I work flexible hours and am available for walks, drop-in visits, boarding, and overnight care. I do my best to accommodate each pet’s routine and needs, and I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care while you’re away. 🐾 I have a spacious, dog-friendly townhouse with a backyard where dogs can relax and play. My own dog, Max, spends the summer with his other human, so your pet will have plenty of space and attention. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine, including crating if needed, to help them feel safe and comfortable during their stay.
“We had just moved to Boston and needed a needed a dog-sitter on short notice for our Great Dane pup, Gordon, and David crushed it! He is super-patient and confident with our big boy and expertly communicative. David will always be our “go to!””


“Chandler was amazing! She was very understanding, accommodating, and responsible! She was fantastic about sending pictures and updates after each visit. I would highly recommend her and I will definitely consider her for future petsitting needs!!”


About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 11. I’ve taken care of my own dogs, neighbors dogs, and those of family friends as well! I’m currently finishing up the school year as a fifth grade teacher and will be starting a PhD program in the Autumn, so I’m looking for work over the summer caring for dogs and cats in the mornings and afternoons. I’m available to come to your location to walk, feed, and play with your dog (or cat!). I have a skittish cat, so my home isn’t available for boarding or dog/cat-sitting, but I am more than happy to come to your home to check on, feed, walk, give medicine, or play with your pet!
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in North Dorchester is $25
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - North Dorchester
Katrina was great! I had a last minute scheduling change, and Katrina was very accommodating. She sent lots of pictures and notes for each visit, and based on the pictures, my cat clearly liked playing with her and felt very comfortable around her. Will absolutely book her services again in the future!

Madeline was amazing!!! She helped me out last minute with my puppy and gave me such peace of mind being able to come. She was incredibly attentive and detailed with her visit notes. She followed my over explained directions perfectly and my puppy loved her!! I would 100% book with her again, thank you Madeline :)

Anne was absolutely fantastic! From offering to stop by to meet my dog to sending thoughtful recaps of each drop in visit, she was nothing short of amazing. She was very responsive, took excellent care of my dog and even went out of her way to sweep up his loose hair in my apartment. My dog loved Anne from the second she walked in the door and really enjoyed his entire time with her. I would 1000% recommend Anne to anyone who is considering booking her for any type of service. She watched my dog over my wedding weekend, which you can imagine could be stressful. I felt completely stress free with him in her care and will definitely be reaching out to book with Anne again.
