House Sitting Ocean Bluff

“Yas was great! Communicative and responsive, and understanding when there was some miscommunication on our part. Thanks for helping us out when we were in a tight spot after our original dog sitter bailed!”

“Catelyn was great! Very communicative and sent plenty of updates and photos of our dogs while we were away. Our house was clean and tidy when we got back, and she even put our pool furniture away for us to prepare for an incoming storm. Would definitely recommend!”

“We wholeheartedly recommend Kimberly as a puppy sitter! She recently took care of our energetic puppy, Banksy, for 12 days while we were on our honeymoon, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the moment we met Kimberly, we felt completely at ease leaving Banksy in her care. She provided regular text and photo updates, which we absolutely loved and looked forward to – it was so reassuring to see Banksy happy and well-cared for. Kimberly went above and beyond by taking Banksy to dog parks for socialization and exercise, something he thoroughly enjoyed. A huge bonus was that Banksy got to stay with Kimberly's own dog, Henry, who he adored! Not only did Banksy have a buddy to play with, but Henry was also fantastic at teaching him valuable dog manners. Kimberly's home is a safe and inviting environment for puppies. Knowing she works from home provided us with extra peace of mind that Banksy was getting constant attention and care. Her years of experience caring for animals truly shone through in her confident and capable approach. We were also incredibly impressed that Kimberly continued Banksy's training and even furthered some of the things we were working on. It was evident that she paid close attention to his needs and was committed to his well-being and development. We were so grateful that Kimberly was available on very short notice when we had unexpected issues with our previous pet sitter. Her flexibility and willingness to help us out were a lifesaver. If you're looking for a trustworthy, experienced, and loving individual to care for your puppy, look no further than Kimberly. She is truly exceptional! Warmly, Banksy, Brian, and Cece”

About: I have been in the caring business since my teenage years - babysitting my younger siblings, caring for my family dog, running a summer enrichment program for at risk youth, caring for horses at a dude ranch and a western suburbs farm, minding many friends' dogs, and wrangling my own two senior dogs - brother and sister, now 14 years old. (But, so rambunctious for their first 10+ years). I love dogs and will care for your dog just as you would. One of my dogs is now blind and the other requires daily subcutaneous fluids so I am willing and able to help out with any of your pet's special needs as well..... I know how stressful it can be to ensure a routine is kept. Pet first aid and CPR certified. I am currently on a full time job hunt in marketing analytics and very available (with notice) to care for your dogs most days and evenings as I can search and do freelance work remotely. Depending on your dog's needs I can usually provide bathroom breaks every 4 hours in between errands, etc. My calendar will be updated to show days I plan to be away. At this time, I can care for pets in my client's home. I do need to bring my dogs for the overnight portion of the stay but will keep them separate in a room/space of your choosing during the evening (and on bedroom floor at night). They are very dog friendly just very sleepy and do well snoozing someplace quiet.

About: Hi I'm Donna B and I have been loving and caring for dogs personally and professionally for the past thirty five years of my life.

Thank you In my services, I will be able to feed your dog, walk and play with your furry friend I will also be able to accommodate special needs.

“Hannah was absolutely fantastic with our 9-month-old boxer, Teddy! She was incredibly communicative throughout the stay, sending frequent updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind. She made sure to keep Teddy on his routine and gave him plenty of playtime. You can tell she genuinely loves dogs, and Teddy had a great time with her. We will definitely be reaching out to her again the next time we need a sitter. Highly recommend! Thank you Hannah for taking such good care of our little boy!!!!”

About: I love dogs and walking outside! I have my own golden doodle. I work from home and would have a lot of availability throughout the week🙂 I work from home and am available throughout the day for dog walking services. I have a lot of flexibility and would love to walk your dog for you! I have a fenced in yard and I am in a safe neighborhood. I always make sure the dogs are on a leash etc. my home is very dog friendly.

“Erin took excellent care of our dog Arthur for a long weekend. She was communicative before the stay and arrived on time. She sent texts and picture updates throughout the stay, and she left our home so neat and clean it was like no one had even stayed there. We would highly recommend Erin for her dog sitting services.”

Melissa F.

“Abhay was absolutely amazing. On first contact, his enthusiasm to meet and greet both us an our animals was encouraging. We knew from first meet that we could be confident and comfortable leaving our babies and our home in his care for two weeks. We were not wrong. Everything went as planned and our babies and our home were cared for perfectly according to our requests. We would, without question, request his services again and highly recommend to others.”

“My goodness I don’t even know where to start with this review for Melicia because she was so amazing! I have a very nervous German Shepherd with bad separation anxiety and she was such a calm and loving presence for him. He took to her immediately and loved her (he was screaming when she left lol). She took him on walks and a couple car rides because he kept asking 🥺 she even did a tick check after taking him on a walk and she’s honestly one of the sweetest humans I have met and really went above and beyond for my Thanos and I’m sad we were only visiting Boston or I’d hire her all the time!! Thank you for taking such good care of our boy and letting us have a fun last day in Boston ❤️”

“Nathalia was fantastic! On time, communicative, and thorough. She made sure our very anxious dog was at ease and happy the entire time which isn’t always an easy task! She is everything you would hope for in a sitter!”

About: With more than 15 years of hands-on experience in the canine industry, I bring far more than a love for dogs to every service I provide. I’m the owner and founder of The Canine Legacy LLC, a professional canine care and education business, as well as the founder and owner of Dog Moms of the South Shore, a community of over 5,000 local dog owners. I’ve invested thousands of dollars into my professional education, certifications and continuing development because I believe exceptional canine care begins with knowledge, experience and an understanding of each dog’s individual needs. My professional background includes formal education through CATCH Canine Trainers Academy, Pet CPR and First Aid certification, and ongoing studies in canine behavior, training and nutrition. I’ve successfully completed my CATCH coursework and examinations and am currently completing the final hands-on mentorship requirements. I specialize in positive reinforcement-based training, canine body language, enrichment, socialization, confidence building, leash reactivity and individualized care. I’m experienced with dogs of various breeds, ages, temperaments and behavioral needs, including puppies, senior dogs and those requiring additional patience or specialized handling. Through The Canine Legacy, I provide professional dog walking, structured walks, enrichment sessions, drop-in visits, training, and individualized canine services. My business is registered and insured, and I’m committed to maintaining high standards of safety, professionalism and communication. I understand that trusting someone with your dog and access to your home is a significant decision. My goal is to provide dependable, knowledgeable and compassionate care while giving you complete confidence that your dog is in capable hands. Every dog deserves care tailored to their individual personality, needs and lifestyle. I look forward to getting to know yours! As the owner and operator of The Canine Legacy LLC, professional pet care is an integral part of my daily routine. Unlike someone offering pet sitting as a side job, I’ve built my career around providing dependable, individualized care to pets and their families. I manage my own schedule, allowing me to accommodate a variety of needs, including regularly scheduled walks, drop-in visits, puppy care, enrichment sessions and occasional last-minute requests when availability permits. I understand the importance of consistency, particularly for pets who thrive on established routines. I work closely with each client to develop a schedule that accommodates their pet’s individual needs while prioritizing reliability, flexibility and quality care. Whether you need ongoing services or occasional assistance, I’m happy to discuss your needs and determine how I can best accommodate your pet and your schedule. Your pet’s safety, comfort and well-being are always my highest priorities. With over 15 years of professional experience, formal education in canine behavior and training, and Pet CPR and First Aid certification, I bring a knowledgeable, proactive approach to every visit. As the owner of a registered and insured pet care business, I take my responsibilities seriously and maintain high standards of professionalism, safety and communication. I provide care in my clients’ homes, where pets can remain comfortable in their familiar surroundings and maintain their established routines. I carefully follow all feeding instructions, exercise requirements, medication directions and household preferences provided by each owner. I believe in positive reinforcement, enrichment and individualized care. I’m experienced in recognizing canine body language and adjusting my approach to accommodate different personalities, temperaments and behavioral needs. For cats, I prioritize respecting their boundaries, minimizing stress and allowing interactions to happen at their comfort level. I take additional precautions during walks, outdoor activities and home visits, including checking equipment, securing doors and gates, and remaining attentive to environmental hazards. I also understand the trust involved in allowing someone into your home. I treat every client’s property with the utmost respect and provide consistent communication, updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable and receiving exceptional care. My goal is simple: to provide the same level of care, attention and respect that I would expect for my own pets.

“Pamela is excellent! She is very professional and friendly and our two dogs loved hanging out with her. Definitely will book again if she is available!”

About: Due to my current employment situation, I have lots of schedule flexibility to suit the needs of your animals. I have been caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and sizes since I was young and have done it on a more regular basis over the past 8 years. I have grown up always having dogs and cats so I am extremely familiar with caring for animals. Even the most skeptical dogs quickly trust me for my loving nature. I am always prepared to pay full attention to any animals in my care and to respond to any challenging situations that may come up. I truly love animals and am very excited at the opportunity to help others with the care and support of their furry friends! Your pet’s day will look exactly like it does when you’re with them! I pride myself on helping dogs to keep their routines. I am happy to offer whatever enrichment activities we discuss for your pet such as car rides, dog parks, play dates etc but also understand these are not for every dog so will never do anything we didn’t explicitly clear. I am very adamant about understanding the ways you keep your pet safe at home. I am extremely cautious when coming and going. I keep an eye on all pets in yards, even when they don’t typically require this. In 15 years of dogsitting, I have only had one dog slip away from me and handled it quickly and safely.

About: I’ve been a dog parent my whole life, sharing my home with everything from high-energy Shepherds, Dobermans, and Collies to lovable Pugs. Whether it’s managing big-breed energy or catering to gentle small dogs, there isn’t a personality, size, or temperament I haven’t cared for. Currently, I’m the proud parent of Oliver, my 13-year-old Plott Hound mix who has been by my side since he was just 8 months old. Raising a dog from his wild puppy months all the way into his golden senior years has given me a deep appreciation for every stage of a dog’s life. I know firsthand the extra patience, gentle pacing, and careful attention senior dogs need, as well as the structure and exercise younger pups thrive on. I prefer sitting in your home because keeping dogs in their own comfortable, familiar environment makes all the difference for their peace of mind. When I stay at your place or drop in for walks, you can expect: Strict adherence to their routine: Exact feeding times, daily exercise, and familiar sleeping arrangements. Senior & special care awareness: Patience with slower walks, mobility needs, and routine medication. Full respect for your space: Clean, secure, and respectful house sitting so you can enjoy your time away stress-free. Regular updates: Photos and quick check-ins so you always know your pup is happy and well-loved. Whether your dog needs an active walk around the neighborhood, a game of fetch, or just a quiet companion to lounge on the couch with, I’m always ready to treat them like family. I work full-time (9:00 AM – 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday), but my schedule is extremely flexible for in-home pet care: Remote Work Friendly: If your pup needs someone around during the workday, I can easily work remotely right from your home, giving them continuous companionship and mid-day potty breaks. Evenings & Overnights: My weekday evenings and nights are wide open! I’m fully available after 5:00 PM for walks, dinner feeds, playtime, and overnight stays. Weekends: My weekends are generally completely open for full-day sitting, longer walks, and plenty of quality time. Because keeping your dog’s routine consistent is my top priority, we’ll coordinate schedules ahead of time so your pet gets all the attention, exercise, and care they need. When caring for pets in your home, safety, security, and consistent routines are my absolute priorities. As a lifelong dog parent who currently cares for a 13-year-old hound, I understand how crucial it is to treat both your pet and your home with complete respect. During stays or visits, I strictly follow your specific instructions for feeding, walking, leash protocols, and house rules. I make sure doors and gates are double-checked, secure your home whenever I step out, and keep your space clean and tidy. I am comfortable managing medications, adhering to crate routines, handling big-breed energy, or accommodating senior dogs who need a gentler pace. Plus, you will receive regular photo updates and check-ins so you have total peace of mind while away.

About: I love to walk, but it's more fun with a dog in tow! I grew up with dogs, but I started boarding, pet-sitting, and walking dogs for friends and coworkers in college and I loved helping owners care for their pets. I have experience caring for senior dogs with medical needs, large breeds with higher exercise needs, and puppies. I have experience walking dogs that are aggressive towards other pets as well. If your pet needs more exercise than your busy schedule allows, I'm your girl! Just reach out and let's get your pup walked! I work as a seasonal biologist and I'm looking to take on some pet care during the off-season. I'm very flexible at the moment and can work around your busy schedule! You can rest assured I will care for your pet like they are my own! I feel passionately about letting dogs enjoy their walks, i.e. letting them sniff! No dragging along here. I am happy to cater to your pet's needs, whether they are dietary or behavioral. Unfortunately, I am unable to accommodate boarding at this time.

“Cynthia is simply amazing. She managed our home and dog so well. She is very capable, communicated just the right amount. I hope we can book her again!”
