House Sitting in Rockport

“Wiktoria was great. She stayed at my cottage with my big dog (~100 lbs) for a weekend. I received updates through the weekend and went above & beyond to ensure Monty had a good time. Came back to a happy dog and clean cottage.”

“Crystal was able to help me on short notice and even was able to stay a bit longer when I was in a bit of a pickle.”

About: I have 15 years of experience as a dog owner, and 16 years of experience as a cat owner. I've frequently fed, checked on, and played with neighbors' pets while they're on vacation. I'm always careful to politely introduce myself to new animals, and I'm excellent at pulling around feather toys as well as playing tug and fetch. I believe in using exclusively positive reinforcement (force-free) methods when interacting with pets. I'm available for dog walks, check ins, potty breaks, in-home pet care, and short overnight stays. I'm happy to clear my schedule for specific requests as long as you notify me 2-3 days in advance. I'll follow your lead on pet care instructions (you know them better than I do, after all!) All walks will be on-leash unless you recommend an enclosed area (ex. if you ask me to take your pet to a fenced dog park). I love walking on Stacey Boulevard when the weather is nice, taking more energetic dogs over to Ravenswood for a hike, and (October to April, on the correct days) visiting nearby beaches!

“Carol was fantastic. She stayed in our house for 3 nights and gave us daily updates with videos, pictures, and audio messages. She did a great job taking care of the creatures (including a high energy 7 month old puppy) and leaving the house clean. We highly recommend her!”

“Lauren is a great communicator and wonderful dog sitter. She watched our older golden retriever and poodle mix and they LOVED her. She was very respectful of our house; we will definitely be contacting her again in the future.”

About: I have been both a dog and cat owner for the past 20+ years. I currently do not have any pets and I am looking to help out other pet owners as they enjoy their summer travels. I find that letting the pet remain in their own home provides a higher level of ease and rest to the animal. I am timely and clean. I am flexible and able to meet any scheduling needs whether it be walks or meal times, just let me know and I am happy to accomdate. I enjoy caring for pets in their own home because it is less of a disruption their environment and routine. I can keep up any expectations and care you provide for your animal.

About: I adore both cats and dogs and love opportunities to spend time with them. I have over ten + years of experience taking care of both. I also have experience taking care of pets in their senior years. I love the outdoors and I am very active, I want nothing more to enjoy the outdoors with a fur friend! I am available for house and pet sitting. I work in a restaurant a few nights a week, so I have all day until about 3pm for long walks and playing. I deeply care for animals well being, I do everything I can to make sure pets get enough attention, care and love while their owners are away. I have also been a caretaker for an estate for 12 years so I have a lot of valuable experience in basic home care and maintenance. I was also a farmer so I have your plants under control as well!

About: Hi! I grew up with a dog and have always had animals around, so caring for pets feels very natural to me. I work fully remote with a flexible schedule, which means I’m home most of the day and able to give your pet plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet with someone you trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions and will always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I work remotely with a very flexible schedule, so pet care fits easily into my day. I’m home most of the time, which allows me to give pets frequent attention, timely walks, feedings, and check-ins throughout the day rather than just before or after work. My flexibility also makes it easy to adapt to your pet’s routine and needs, whether that’s multiple walks, medication timing, or extra play and companionship. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I’m very mindful about following each pet’s routine and any specific instructions provided by the owner. In a client’s home, I respect their space, keep everything clean and secure, and make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and supervised. If caring for pets in my own home, I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of supervision and attention. I’m attentive to doors, food safety, and overall comfort, and I always prioritize a pet’s well-being. I also communicate regularly and send updates so owners feel confident and informed while they’re away.

“We couldn’t say enough great things about Matt! He was beyond awesome. Not only did he take great care of our pups, communicate every step of the way but he also helped do some odds and ends around the house. We would highly recommend using Matt for your pup needs!”

Chandler F.

“First time using Rover. We have older pets and wanted someone to care for them in our home. Matthew was a perfect match. Pets bonded with him right from the meet and greet. He kept us updated every day during his stay. Can’t say enough positive about Matthew. Would definitely have him care for our pets again.”

“Henry was a perfect fit for my two little dogs and cat! He made sure to ask about any instructions, sent photographs to reassure they were being cared for, and managed to befriend two nervous pups quite quickly!!”

Alan E.

“Lila was wonderful with our newly adopted adult dog. We were nervous to leave Una alone for the first time since adopting her. On very short notice, Lila came over to meet Una and make sure she had all of the information needed to ensure a positive experience for her. She sent us photos and showed Una lots of affection so that when we returned, Una was relaxed and happy. Thank you, Lila! We very highly recommend your petsitting services!”

Caitlin S.

“Kerry was absolutely amazing with our pup and seems like just an awesome human all around. We came home after a long day out with young kids to a happy and well exercised pup and even a cleaned up kitchen!”

Kate M.

“Jacquelyn did a wonderful job caring for our dog, who has some nervous tendencies. She sent tons of updates and we came home to a spotless house. We will definitely use her again. Thank you Jacquelyn!”

Allie T.

“Kara did a very nice job sitting for our two dogs at our house. Dogs were well taken care of, and the house was in perfect shape on our return. We will definitely use Kara again. Bob”

Robert S.

“Sarah was perfect for us! We have an elderly cat and dog and she catered to both of their needs and eccentricities so that we could go on a short trip without worrying about them. We will definitely be calling her back in the future!”

Linda G.

“Alyssa (and Zach) are fantastic in every way! We went away for a few days and our pups were taken care of with love! If I could give more stars, I would!!”

About: I grew up in a household that always had pets which made me adore them! I’ve cared for dogs, cats, Guinea pigs and even rats so I understand the importance of your pets health and wellness. I’m usually always available and I have plenty of time for potty breaks and play as I am an online student working towards acquiring my GED. My #1 priority is making sure your pet gets the absolute best best care while you are away. When taken out to play he/she will always be fenced in at dog park or in yard. I will give text updates/pictures. Client can call/ text at all times to check up. I Will always respect the clients wishes.

About: I grew up with multiple dogs in the house from little Poodles to Great Danes. While in college my roommate got a dog for the house and we all pitched in. I also took time to foster dogs in the area will they found their forever homes! I am currently in nursing school part time, so I have a lot of time on my hands to care for your doggy’s. I am available Monday and Tuesday after 1 and throughout the rest of the week I’m free at all hours. Every pet is unique and requires different levels of care and attention, I am very open to learning about the needs of your pets to give them the best experience possible!

About: I will take your dog on longer walks such as hiking or going to the beach where they will get lots of exercise and/or socialization if needed. You won’t have to worry if your furry companion is lonely or bored when they are in my care! I love getting to know each individual dog and will cater to their specific needs. I have previous experience house sitting, dog walking, and making drop-in visits from my own business I started. I have a B.S. in Equine Studies, which has given me knowledge of basic small and large animal health, nutrition, diseases, and care. I have my own 2 year old Lab mix named Rory so dealing with puppies or energetic dogs is no problem for me!
