Pet Sitting in Roxbury

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my experience as a dedicated dog foster. I've cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Fostering has taught me how to read dog body language, build trust quickly, and create a calm, loving environment where every pup feels safe and cared for. Whether it's playtime, walks, or just some extra snuggles, I treat every dog like they're my own. Dog care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I work from home and live an active lifestyle. I’m able to provide plenty of attention throughout the day, with regular walks, playtime, and potty breaks. Whether it’s a quick cuddle or an afternoon stroll, your pup will be part of my everyday rhythm. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special needs or medications. In my home, pets have a cozy, pet-friendly space with lots of attention and supervised play. In client homes, I treat their space with respect and make sure pets feel comfortable and secure while sticking to their normal routine.

About: I have owned a dog since I was a baby. I have experience with goldens, labs and huskies. We lost our 2 huskies in the past 4 months. Our family is dog deprived and wanting to love on your pets as we continue our daughters cancer journey. I am a stay at home mom with 2 girls looking to help walk or take care of your dogs during the week or weekend. I have a partially fenced in yard at this time. I will have it fully enclosed by fall. My home is dog friendly as I have had dogs in the past. I have a great space for them to rest and play.

“Donna did ann excellent job watching our two kitties for a week while we were away. She is super communicative and sends photos from each visit. We had peace of mind while on vacation knowing Donna was taking care of our fur babies!”

About: I’ve been around pets pretty much my whole life. I grew up with cats and dogs and had the responsibility of taking care of them since I was a young kid so I’m basically a professional. I have a passion for animals and would love to get some more exposure outside of the ones I have at home! I currently work a full time job so I don’t have as much time to do long term care, but I do work second shift so it’s perfect for those of you with a day job who can’t get home during the day to walk your pets or let them outside! I’m comfortable with handling your pets in your home as well as outside. I currently watch my friends dog here and there and I’ve handled her on walks outside as well as transporting her via my car.

“Great communication and loved the photos/updates we got!”

Mindy H.

“Carlie was excellent! In the time between booking and her looking in on our pets we acquired a cat and Carlie was happy to look after him as well. Our pets were healthy and happy when we returned! We will definitely use Carlie again.”

About: I have always owned dogs my entire life and have been watching family, friends, and neighbors dogs ever since I could remember. I am now wanting to start getting my son involved in taking care of animals and helping others in the process. I work from home and have a flexible schedule to help assist with walks, or even be home for dog sitting so your pup won’t be home alone all day! I can easily crate your dog if needed, though with having one dog myself, I have no problem having dogs out and about to socialize and run off energy.

“Kortni is awesome!! She gave us such piece of mind!!”

About: My name is Beautiful, but most people call me Violet. I own one dog of my own, and really enjoy all animals. I am a certified dog groomer as well, and I have been grooming since 2021. I started boarding dogs in my home at the beginning of 2024, and have worked in a doggy daycare setting as well. With all my experience in the pet industry I am able to provide a safe and enjoyable experience for your pets. I groom dogs Wednesday through Friday from 10 to 5, and occasionally a Tuesday. I also groom Saturdays 10 to 4. The rest of the time I can dedicate to making your pet(s) feel as comfortable and happy as possible! I will always treat your dogs like they are my own with lots of love and care. I have a lot of experience with different personalities and temperaments of dogs, so I am able to provide the most appropriate care for your dog.

About: I have many years of experience dealing with dogs of all breeds and sizes, from dog sitting to just walking my neighbors dogs on occasion. I have no problem taking them on a leisurely walk or going on a run. I've also grown up around dogs my entire life, I've never known a family life without at least a couple of dogs in the picture. I love all types and just really enjoy spending time around them and playing with them. I'm currently planning on working part time so I'm free basically whenever throughout the day to meet dog walking needs and get some exercise in. In a clients home I would just be extremely respectful of the house itself as well as what the pet needs. I would just make sure my tasks are finished in a proper way and that the pet is happy and everything is in the place it was originally in when I first arrived before leaving.

About: I am a 19 years old and have grown up loving animals since day one. I am a very energetic person that absolutely loves to play with animals of all sorts. I am just as comfortable being outside with a Great Dane as I am being indoor with a five pound cat. I have a plethora of experience walking all sizes and breeds of dogs as well. I have no problem taking a leisure walk in the park or going for a run with dogs that want to try to keep up. I have been to multiple different dog training classes with my own dog. For dogs that are interested in staying at my house I have plenty of space in my home and in my yard to run around and have a blast. I am currently working part time and am available after 2 P.M. most days. I do not work on the weekends and I am free both days I am active and willing to walk and play with all sorts of pets indoors and outdoors. I enjoy playing with exercising all kinds of animals.

“Tyler stopped in to check on our cat, Lexi, while we were on a long (17 day) vacation. He kept us up-to-date on his visits, made sure she had plenty of food, water and, most importantly, her treats! He even helped us out by picking tomatoes and zucchini from our garden and refrigerating them. We would not hesitate to contact him for our next vacation.”

About: My very first job was working at a family owned boarding and grooming kennel. I started when I was 14 years old and worked there through college. In between that, I've pet sat for several family members and friends. I work full time as a second shift (3:00 pm - 11pm) 911 dispatcher. I'd love to do some evening or early morning walks to start and would like to expand into pet sitting as my schedule allows. I have preference to pet sitting at the clients home because my roommates dog is a bit fickle on who she gets along with. Plus I own a cat and I know not every dog likes cats. As a pet sitter, I intend to take your dog for regular walks in addition to normal outside play time. I can work with your dog on any ongoing training you have with them.
