Top rated Roxbury house sitters


“Elvia was excellent with our mini-goldendoodle who doesn’t like most sitters. She played with him and sent us great photos. She is dependable and asked a lot of questions that showed she cared about our pet. We definitely use her again!”


“Jennifer was wonderful with our pets! They loved her. She was very communicative over the week we were gone by sending photos and texts. We felt like our animal friends were in great hands. We recommend Jennifer!”


“Heather took great care of our pup! She was very responsive, provided frequent and detailed updates, and was incredibly patient with Zozo who can be shy at first. She also left our apartment spotless. We will definitely use her for future dog sitting.”


“Nicole was very accommodating, trustworthy and reliable. Not only did she take good care of our beloved doggie, but she took excellent care of our home. It was hard to tell anyone was even there after she left.”


“Maria made me feel so comfortable leaving my fur babies home during vacation. I could tell quickly they were doing great and probably had a little vacation of their own while I was out of town!”


“Michelle and our dog, Meeko, are basically besties now!!! Michelle is a great sitter, we never worry when she is watching our dog, she is a great communicator, always cheerful and so trustworthy! Michelle is the best!”


“Jess did a great job sitting for our dog for a week while we were out of town. We and our dog could not have been more happy with the experience. Highly recommend Jess.”


“Cinthia was amazing. She stayed overnight with my dog at my apartment and was super attentive and sent lots of pictures. She left the apartment very clean and my dog very happy. Nothing but positive things to say.”


“Frank is very easy to communicate with and professional. I also appreciated his flexibility and willingness to work with me and my last minute schedule changes. I’m sure Fez also had a great time with Frank!”


“We couldn’t be more grateful for the incredible care Janine provided while we were away. She was extremely responsive, kept us updated, and clearly has a natural way with animals—our dogs absolutely loved her. Not only did she take them on regular walks and play with them, but she also went above and beyond when both pups got sick during the stay. She handled everything with so much care and compassion, including cleaning up after them and making sure they were as comfortable as possible. It gave us so much peace of mind while traveling and made a huge difference knowing we had someone we could truly trust. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable, and loving sitter!”


“Wendy did a fantastic job taking care of our dogs - and my home - while we were gone for two weeks. She followed instructions about their different dietary needs, and took them to local parks for longer walks. Both dogs can be a bit anxious, but they got so much love and attention from Wendy and were calm and happy when we got home. I would highly recommend Wendy and will certainly use her again!”


“Jessica was absolutely amazing at housesitting and taking care of our babies. She communicates wonderfully, sends tons of questions, is able to solve problems without freaking out, and doesn’t hesitate to let you know if things happen. We absolutely loved having her watch our dogs, it made going on vacation less stressful knowing they were with her!”


About: I have always been a dog lover/owner. Currently have 2 mixed breed dogs (5 and 3 years old). Have dealt with puppies to senior dogs. I do dog walking and pet sitting around my kids school and activity schedules. I’m pretty open during the weekdays. I also have some availability on weekends. Will give your dog the attention they deserve on their walk. They will return happy and well exercised. Will follow any training routines you are actively working on.

“This was our first time using Kat and she was a wonderful dog sitter! She focused on Irie, took great care to remember our specific instructions, and asked just the right questions, and we felt very comfortable leaving him in her care. We look forward to working with Kat often in the future. :-)”


“Alexandra was great! We left her with our 10 week old kitten and she did an amazing job of keeping him entertained and out of trouble. She sent us lots of updates and went above and beyond to make sure that Bergamot was well cared for. We'll definitely be using her again.”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 14 and I love it. Having 2 dogs of my own I know what it’s like to find quality pet care so I like to provide families with the relief of knowing their four-legged baby is being well taken care of! Through my experiences, I’ve learned how to be attentive to dogs cries, whines, whimpers, etc. and body language which helps me make sure they get what they need. I’m currently a college student and am home for the summer. I work at the grocery store 3 days a week so during those hours I wouldn’t be at the house but other than that I will be there! I can’t leave during work but as my hours are short, it has not interfered with my ability to tend to the dogs! I work with each pet parent to make sure I have all the details of the pet’s schedule. In my home, pets are always viewed as members of our family. I believe that pets require the same love and attention that people do so that’s what I share with my clients as well!

“Amber was great with my dog Mia, who can get a little anxious sometimes! She was super caring and I appreciated all the pictures and updates! Would definitely book with her again!”

kaitlin s.
“We have a 10YO Rhodesian mix and a 4 month old Great Dane. From the time we brought our first home, Kaitlin has been playful, loving, attentive and proud. In his later years, when she is home visiting, she is the first to jump in and help with his love and care and meds. In addition, she balances her time and attention between him and our new puppy. And I could not ask for a better partner with our new Dane. Her willingness to jump in and take over the new-parent responsibilities (crate training, feeding, outdoor time, sleep schedule, clean-up, etc.) highlights her love for dogs and a level of responsibility many of her peers haven’t reached yet.”


Amber G.

“Amber was great with my dog Mia, who can get a little anxious sometimes! She was super caring and I appreciated all the pictures and updates! Would definitely book with her again!”
