Dog Sitting Roslindale

About: I became a dog lover 15+ years ago when my family got our first dog, Sir. Since then, I’ve loved dogs and have become the person friends/family/coworkers turn to do dog sitting. I’m a Nurse in Boston and have a fluctuating schedule but would love to fit in some walks or boarding when I can! I miss having a dog of my own in my life so taking care of yours I will treat it as my own! Also even though I am at work, my roommate also loves dogs so would be home with them while I’m at work until I come home so their needs during the day would be taken care of! My boyfriend has a cat that is 6yo and she is very chill/sweet but more of a scaredy cat who likes her own private space away from everyone. If a dog or another cat were to approach her she would most likely just hiss and move on about her day so a dog who is friendly towards cats/doesn’t care is perfect! I work full time and can be home by 3/3:30 unless working an off shift. If a drop off time is on a week day before 3p, I would have to check to see if my roommate is home otherwise drop off on weekends can be any time! On weekends I have the most flexibility and on some weekdays after 3p I would be able to do walks or drop ins. I have a male roommate that WFH and loves dogs so he would be home with them while I am away during the day so they’re never fully alone unless he’s in office that day! I’ve taken care of many of my family/friends dogs and I tend to like to stick to the schedule they are used to at home to help alleviate any stress that comes with a new environment. I have experience in giving medication to dogs including oral, IM, IV as well. I do now have a 6yo cat so want to make sure they are comfortable around a cat who is very chill and reserved.

“Gabby performed all duties accordingly and was communicative throughout the process. Thank you for all the effort! I will recommend her and use her services again in the future!”

“Katelyn took amazing care of and made a wonderful impression on our two (scaredy) cats. She provided timely photos of her regular check-ins and gave updates on their interactions with her.”

“Mike did a great job doting on our very neurotic cat. He managed to slip a pill into her food every morning, and stayed around for a bit so she could get a "second breakfast" afterwards. He even got to pet her occasionally, something only a very select few can say! Fountains were kept filled, cat box was clean, and bowls weren't overflowing with stale, dried up food. Definitely recommend!”

About: I’ve had cats, dogs, and hamsters and I am willing to experience a lot more! Don’t worry, I always enjoyed animals and providing them with love and care, so your mind will be at ease when you are away. I recently completed school but I also work a per diem job. Aside from studying to receive my certification, I have plenty of time to be with your cute companions, and spend time with them. Who knows, maybe while we’re together we can become the best study buddies. I am extremely flexible and always willing to discuss further if you have interest in booking. As I’ve had plenty of experience with Cats, I’m well aware of choking hazards on string like materials. I try to keep items like this out of reach! I am very clean when it comes to my space and noticed that this helps as some kitty’s can be a little curious and knock things off surfaces. When things are put away correctly there’s less chance for mess or danger. I am still gaining some experience with Dogs and puppies. As far as safety, I only do leashed walks to not only protect your pup but others who may be passing by as well! Again, I'm pretty organized and will avoid leaving items out, especially food! I know some animals are very food motivated and leaving food products out can be dangerous.

About: I’ve had pets in my life for over 26 years, and I’m a true animal lover through and through! I can stop by your home to care for your dogs and cats during the day, whether that means going for a walk or run, playtime, feeding, or just checking in to make sure they’re happy and comfortable. I’m an active person, so your dogs will always get plenty of exercise if needed, while your cats will get the attention and affection they deserve. I have experience with many different dog breeds—from corgis and chihuahuas to labs, blue heelers, and German shepherds—as well as caring for cats with all kinds of personalities. I’d love the chance to give your pets the love and care they need while you’re away! Available when you need and love all animals, big or small, walk-drop ins- sitting-etc. Happy to be your go to rover. Contact me for me scheduling details I am a per lover, have had many pets all my life: dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish. Your pet will be 100% safe and cared for as if it was my own!

“Ailise did a great job checking in on our dog, Ollie! He’s a nervous & anxious dog who likes to bark with unfamiliar people, but she did a great job making him feel comfortable. She cuddled with him on the couch and sent us pictures! Would 10/10 recommend Ailise!”

About: I’ve been doing freelance sittings and dog walking for about two years now. I’ve always enjoyed caring for canines/felines of all breeds, some even with handicaps or special needs. Once I communicate with a pet’s parent and make sure I fully understand their baby’s tendencies and needs, I use those to create a comforting bond between the pet and I so the parent can remain focused on whatever task has them away from their love, and the pet can have a comfortable wait on their return. Pet care is something I do for free a lot with neighbors pets and my own, all the time. My weekends, and weekday evenings are free. I follow all instructions, and make sure all pets needs are communicated clearly. Attention to detail is especially crucial when caring for dogs with particular needs.

About: I have 6 years of hands-on experience raising and caring for my own dog, which taught me the importance of patience, structure, and genuine love. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether it is providing structured daily walks, fun playtime, sticking to strict feeding schedules, or simply offering a calm and comforting environment, I treat every dog with the exact same level of devotion, warmth, and attention as my own. I currently have a very flexible schedule with plenty of open availability throughout the week and on weekends. This allows me to dedicate quality, uninterrupted time and attention to your pet. I can easily accommodate daytime visits, afternoon walks, and full-day companionship to ensure your dog never feels lonely and maintains their normal potty and feeding routine seamlessly. I walk only one dog at a time. Safety, comfort, and open communication are my top priorities. When hosting pets at my home, I provide a peaceful, clean, and dog-safe apartment where your pup can relax and feel right at home. For outdoor walks, I always keep dogs securely leashed and stay mindful of surroundings and weather. I am also happy to send regular photo and video updates so you always have peace of mind while you're away!

“Ayana was so perfect sitter. I felt my animals were completely safe with her. Very reliable and thorough. And so sweet! Thank you, Ayana. I highly recommend her and would work with her again in the future.”

“Abigail was great, very responsive and accommodating with my last minute request! Will definitely use her again in the future to check in on my cat while I’m away :)”

“Lauren was super responsive for a somewhat last minute request, and the doggos were all good and safe when we got home! Would love to work with her again 😊”

About: I adore dogs but with a busy career and a teenager with bazillion sports, I prefer to get my dose of canine love through dog sitting! As an educator by trade, I treat the dogs I care for with lots of love. Dogs don’t talk back and it is so much more pleasant 🙂 I am an educator by trade and have summers off, so I’m looking to add some local dog sitting gigs while I have extra time off. I have two small balconies in my condo, and have boarded dogs in my home for up to 6 weeks while dog mom travels. I also do drop ins and have much more flexibility in the summer.

“Took great care of our pup! Very kind!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals for most of my life. From a very young age, I’ve felt a strong sense of empathy toward them, and I think that love for animals definitely runs in my family. I grew up around people who have always treated pets as part of the family, and that shaped the way I see and interact with animals today. I’ve learned to notice the little things — their body language, moods, boundaries, and individual personalities. I’m especially patient with pets who are shy or need a little more time to feel comfortable around someone new. More than anything, I genuinely love being around animals and want every pet in my care to feel safe, relaxed, and loved while their person is away. As a college student, my schedule gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and longer periods of pet sitting, including on many weekends. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so I’m always happy to make room for it in my routine. I know how much trust it takes to leave both your pet and your home in someone else’s care. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely and try to keep each pet’s usual routine as consistent as possible. I pay attention to their behavior and comfort level, respect their boundaries, and make sure they have a safe and calm environment. I’m also happy to send regular photos and updates so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away.

“Fernanda was great with Ralphie! He warmed right up to her when she first met him. She is very communicative and I would have her again in the future. Thanks!!”

About: I’ve grown up around animals, and I’ve always enjoyed spending time with them. I have experience in dog training, boarding, walking and grooming! I work in Charlestown from around 7am-4am every day! However I am fully free outside of work hours and can spend all this time with your fur baby :) I notice things in the pets environment that they’re used to or comfortable with, and I continue to implement it. It’s of upmost importance that a pet is comfortable, especially in their own space! When I was working as a dog trainer we learned how to notice when dogs are comfortable and when they are not.

About: Ive taken care of personal, family and neighbors dogs and cats since very young. Ive also rescued cats since 9 years old. I have taught some of them basic tricks! I work a very flexible job and can fit in 3-4 hours from Wednesday -Sunday! I am also free to pet sit all day Friday through Sunday. I have a fenced yard and treats at home and will crate if needed. While at your home, I am happy to follow the owners instructions and be wary of the dogs directive.

“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!”

“Richie was amazing throughout the entire process of watching my dog while I was away. He took multiple pictures and was extremely nice”
