House Sitting Riverside

“Yeji did a wonderful job taking care of our dog, Teri. She was very communicative and sent lots of updates and pictures. We felt confident that our girl was well-cared for.”

Kimberly P.

“It was wonderful to have Stephanie watch our pets. I could tell from our meet and greet that she would be great with them and she was. She provided updates and daily photos and we could relax on our trip knowing she was there.”

Sandra P.

“Anna was great with Lucy! She was very communicative and flexible. When our flight was canceled she stayed an extra night to watch Lucy. We will definitely be using her as a dog sitter in the future!!”

Tess S.

“Nico is fantastic. My cat can’t stop talking about how wonderful she is and how she wishes she could go home with him instead of living with us. 🤣🤣🤣”

“We found Jalina on Rover, and needed both a housesitter (water plants, take in mail, etc.) as well as taking care of our pup, Ceci who is used to having some work from home and gets anxious in new spaces. Jalina was exceptional in the lead up to the stay; after a 30min video call to get to know each other and review the space (and the pup), we sent over a reference document in advance with specifics, which she reviewed promptly (and had questions on). We had an hour-long visit a few days in advance, split between going for a walk and going over the fiddly house items, which was great. On the day of departure, she arrived promptly, got settled in, and we went to the airport. We got daily updates on the dog, and Ceci seemed to have a lovely time with her, in her own space and her own routine; Jalina made sure she was very well cared for! Due to a delayed flight, we didn’t have any crossover of us getting back and her leaving, but we coordinated via messaging (super prompt) and we came back to our space just as we left it. Based on this stay with us, we’d recommend Jalina to anyone!”

“We had a fantastic experience with Nicole! She was incredibly communicative from start to finish — always quick to respond and kept us updated with regular photos and messages. Nicole was punctual, reliable, and clearly has a natural way with dogs. Our pup instantly warmed up to her, and it was clear they were in great hands the whole time. She went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly, and we came home to a happy, relaxed dog. It was such a relief knowing our pet was being cared for by someone so friendly, professional, and genuinely caring. We’d absolutely book with Nicole again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and kind sitter”

“Rachael did an excellent job watching my two pups. They can be a handful and they were happy and healthy when I came home. She was responsive, sent lots of pictures, and was thorough in understanding what my dogs needed. Couldn’t recommend her more!”

Tyler F.

“Laura stayed with my dog Wallace with very short notice when I was in a pinch. She was wonderful. She sent frequent updates, pictures and videos over the course of the two days. Wallace liked her from the minute he met her and I felt certain he was well cared for while I was gone. Laura left the house far neater than it was when I left. I will definitely ask for her help again.”

Emily R.

“Luke was phenomenal with my GS/Husky, Kota! Luke had excellent communication with me throughout the weekend. A nervous dog mom’s ideal amount of communication at that. Not only did Luke keep Kota company in our space, but he kept him active, meeting new friends, and tired. It was so nice to come home to a well-played dog after a long weekend. Will be rebooking!!! 10/10 recommend.”

Kianna B.

“Jun was amazing! I highly recommend her! She watched my dog Toni for 3 days. She went above and beyond with her care and attention, and kept me up to date about everything. Jun has lot of experience with dogs, which is super nice because my dog can be reactive with other dogs. I felt Toni was in very good hands in the care of Jun.”

Sam S.

“Andrew is terrific. He keeps us informed about how things are going. He goes above and beyond, staying to make sure our flight gets back on time, taking garbage out knowing we won't get home till very late etc. Bernie, our dog, was clearly well taken care of as was the house. Andrew has taken care of Bernie many times for us. We know we can count on him”

Linda M.

“Julia took amazing care of my pup on my overnight trip! I got plenty of pictures and pupdates and she was very diligent in letting me know how things were going. We will be very excited to have Julia again!”

Elise M.

“Thank you!”

Hannah B.

“Maisel was so great with our dogs, Tavish & Ellie. She took great care of them and they were happy as ever when we returned. She also took meticulous care of our home which she stayed in while we were gone. We’ll definitely book her again next time the need arises!”

About: My family has always kept animals-horses, cats, dogs, and anyone else who needs a home. I love animals of all kinds and am a pet owner myself, so I understand the importance of providing quality care to your animal. I am a full-time graduate student with primarily evening classes, so I have lots of flexibility to take care of your pet(s)! I am available on the weekends for overnight stays and can be available during the week as well. Your pets safety and happiness always comes first. From providing care that suits your animals unique personality, to ensuring safety , I do everything I can to keep your pet happy and safe.

About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, small mammals and reptiles for most of my life. I'm partial to dogs and rodents but I have a soft spot for all animals. Because pet care is my primary focus, my schedule offers exceptional flexibility throughout the week. I am readily available for regularly scheduled walks, midday drop-ins, and routine feeding sessions. Living and working locally in Somerville allows me to seamlessly adjust to shifting timelines and often accommodate last-minute visit requests for nearby clients. Whether providing care in your home or mine, my priority is keeping your pet's exact routine consistent, safe, and stress-free. I start by identifying the spaces and corners where they feel most comfortable and secure, allowing them to acclimate at their own pace. Once they are at ease, I engage them with their favorite toys—I especially love a high-energy game of tug-of-war with dogs of all sizes! I treat your home with the utmost respect, strictly adhering to your feeding, medication, and house rules so your pet feels completely safe in their natural environment.

About: I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to be home at all times. I can confirm same-day appointments. Friends have relied on me for years to keep care for their pets and have always been caked a “dog person” throughout my life. I have my own lab of 1 year. I’m working 100% remote at the moment so I’ll have the most flexible schedule out of all dog walkers. Available whenever is most convenient, I can approve same day appointments. I have a fenced yard with a dog park in my facility. I have a very sweet 1 year old pup to keep your pet company as well.

“Lelani is amazing and went beyond our expectations to love on Cash! She sends the most amazing updates with photos and loved ones our boy so much. It made having to be away so much easier. She left our place spotless, which was a surprising plus.”

“Hoa did a fantastic job with our dog Maggie over the weekend. Send pictures to keep us updated. The house was very clean when we returned. Highly recommend Hoa!”

“After a long 10 vacation with some twists and turns, Traci was always communicative, accommodating and highly professional, not to mention just a lovely person. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. During our trip, our dog unexpectedly became sick with vomiting and diarrhea, and she remained calm, composed and compassionate, including middle-of-the-night potty breaks and keeping us informed throughout. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup and tremendous peace of mind. We would absolutely trust her again and recommend her without hesitation.”
