House Sitting Scituate

“Patti takes such great care of our big guy Captain Nemo and also does an amazing job of caring for our house while we are away. We will have her back as often as we can go away!!!”

About: If you need over night boarding, I only board dogs at my house if they are crate trained. Thanks for understanding! I have been around dogs for over 10 years. I have experience owning a working breed, there is nothing I haven’t seen! I am comfortable with different training methods and tools. I am currently working full-time in a hybrid role, remote Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays to help dog sit and dog walk during my remote days. To start, I am able to dog sit/walk only at clients homes. If they are crate trained. I am happy to take care of the dog at my house with a fenced in yard.

“Erin took excellent care of our dog Arthur for a long weekend. She was communicative before the stay and arrived on time. She sent texts and picture updates throughout the stay, and she left our home so neat and clean it was like no one had even stayed there. We would highly recommend Erin for her dog sitting services.”

“Leah was great! Very responsive and took great care of our pup. Would gladly have her watch our dog again.”

About: I have been in the caring business since my teenage years - babysitting my younger siblings, caring for my family dog, running a summer enrichment program for at risk youth, caring for horses at a dude ranch and a western suburbs farm, minding many friends' dogs, and wrangling my own two senior dogs - brother and sister, now 14 years old. (But, so rambunctious for their first 10+ years). I love dogs and will care for your dog just as you would. One of my dogs is now blind and the other requires daily subcutaneous fluids so I am willing and able to help out with any of your pet's special needs as well..... I know how stressful it can be to ensure a routine is kept. Pet first aid and CPR certified. I am currently on a full time job hunt in marketing analytics and very available (with notice) to care for your dogs most days and evenings as I can search and do freelance work remotely. Depending on your dog's needs I can usually provide bathroom breaks every 4 hours in between errands, etc. My calendar will be updated to show days I plan to be away. At this time, I can care for pets in my client's home. I do need to bring my dogs for the overnight portion of the stay but will keep them separate in a room/space of your choosing during the evening (and on bedroom floor at night). They are very dog friendly just very sleepy and do well snoozing someplace quiet.

“Nicole was a wonderful house sitter. We have two GSPs and they loved her. She exercised them enough to keep them happy and noted when they needed a rest (because they won’t stop). She provided lots of love and cuddles (which they also need 🥰) and sent us many pics showing them happy and relaxed. Additionally, she left the house spotless - I couldn’t have asked for a better feeling walking in the door. Highly recommend her and will definitely get on her future schedule!”

“Madeline was exemplary in providing attentive care for Teddy and the house while we were away for a long weekend. She followed our protocol sheet to a “T” and provided exercise and comfort for Teddy daily. Madeline kept the house spotless and took care of any additional concerns with ease. We will be looking to work with Madeline again in the future.”

“I only wish I could give Allegra six stars! Our dog Minka has always had an issue with boarding. She does not like the kennel and she gets very anxious boarding there. I’ve tried to find someone to board her with, but many people will not take shepherds because of insurance issues. I found Allegra on Rover and was impressed with her reviews. Minka does not do well when she first meets a new person and when Allegra came for an initial interview, Minka was not as friendly as she typically is with family and friends. Allegra was not phased in the least and said she was happy to come back and that she preferred working with big dogs. When Allegra came back to babysit for our four day trip once again, Minka greeted her with barking and suspicion. Again, Allegra was not phased in the least and by the time we got home from our short trip, Minka had been sleeping on the bed with Allegra and didn’t want her to leave. I was beginning to think Minka liked Allegra more than me! Allegra also left the house spotless! I was so relieved that Minka finally had a positive boarding experience that I already have already booked Allegra for two more trips. I would recommend Allegra highly and without reservation.”

“Chandler is amazing. This is my first time using Rover and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Chandler was thoughtful and thorough, sending me pictures, asking questions and keeping me updated with everything going on . You can tell by the pics that both my puppy and Chandler really enjoyed each other. I will definitely recommend her to any and everyone. Thank you Chandler for having a fun weekend with my little puppy Luna. ?”

About: My family has a golden retriever. When I was living at home I would take care of him full time, walk him, play with him and feed him. Now that I moved out I take care of him when my parents are out of town. He takes meds and is super active. I also take cat sit for a family with three cats. I have a cat, she’s a sweet heart with a big personality! I am pretty flexible. I work 7:30 pm - 4pm and have a lunch break at noon. On weekends my schedule changes so it really depends on that specific weekend. I live in an apartment complex with a dog park. I have plenty of space of the street to walk your pet. I also like to bring extra toys when taking care of pets. I like to make sure that they get lots of attention and play time.

“Kelly was awesome. From our initial meet and greet to her pupsitting at our home for a few days, the process couldn’t have been any better. Communication was 100%. From the fun photos Kelly sent daily, we could tell our pups were so happy. We have 3 pups and 2 have special needs and she nailed it! We felt totally comfortable and will use Kelly’s service again.”

“Diane was excellent with my dog and very communicative the whole time I was away, would highly recommend!”

“Skylar did a great job! Animals are happy! She was great with live time updates staying in contact through the sitting, will use again!”

“Bridget is absolutely fantastic. We have never left our dog with anyone other than family in his entire life, and after meeting Bridget we were confident in hiring her to stay in our apartment for a weekend. She was amazing. Very communicative, respectful of our space (left the apartment spotless), and awesome with our animals. I could not recommend her any more highly. The only reason I hesitate to post this review is that I do not want her schedule to fill up! 10/10 will be excited to have Bridget over every time we travel from now on.”

About: I’ve been a dog lover ever since I can remember. I grew up with a golden retriever and adopted my own dog, Scout, in 2019. As a registered nurse and longtime dog owner, I’m responsible, attentive, and caring. I understand how important it is to know your pets are in good hands while you’re away. I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved, just like my own! My schedule changes weekly, so please feel free to reach out regarding schedule. I often have long stretches off so helping while a family is on vacation is also an option! I know first hand how stressful it can be going away without your baby! I have my own dog, Scout, who can keep your dog company if needed. I love to stay active or cuddle on the couch and give lots of pets!

“In addition to some check in's in the past, we had Dorothy watch our dog overnight and she was wonderful! Our dog has really taken to her. :)”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life from a Black Lab and Yellow Lab to a Boxador, and now my sweet Golden Retriever. Having dogs around from their puppy months all the way into their senior years has given me a huge soft spot for animals, and taking care of them is just second nature to me. I’m super hands-on and love bonding with the dogs I watch. I enjoy teaching them fun tricks (I’ve gotten my own dog to master spinning and rolling over!), taking them out for walks, trips to the beach, or just going for rides in the car with the windows down. I also have plenty of experience with overnight sitting, so you can count on me to stick strictly to your dog’s usual routine and make them feel right at home. Whether your pup needs a high-energy adventure or just someone to snuggle with on the couch while you’re away, I’ll treat them like my own. I currently have a super open and flexible schedule right now, so I can make your dog my main focus! Since I’m not working a strict 9-5, I am around to keep them company and stick to their regular feeding and walk times. Whether I’m staying overnight at a client’s home or caring for your pets during the day, my priority is making sure they feel happy and comfortable. I do my best to maintain their normal routine, following all instructions for feeding, medication, walks, and any other specific needs. I understand how important it is for pets to feel comfortable when their owners are away, so I give them plenty of attention, affection, and playtime. I also love sending photos/videos and regular updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for!

“This was a last minute trip and Sara was very helpful! So glad she was able to be with our girls for the weekend. She came and visited quick to meet them before hand and the girls were immediately comfortable.”

About: With more than 15 years of hands-on experience in the canine industry, I bring far more than a love for dogs to every service I provide. I’m the owner and founder of The Canine Legacy LLC, a professional canine care and education business, as well as the founder and owner of Dog Moms of the South Shore, a community of over 5,000 local dog owners. I’ve invested thousands of dollars into my professional education, certifications and continuing development because I believe exceptional canine care begins with knowledge, experience and an understanding of each dog’s individual needs. My professional background includes formal education through CATCH Canine Trainers Academy, Pet CPR and First Aid certification, and ongoing studies in canine behavior, training and nutrition. I’ve successfully completed my CATCH coursework and examinations and am currently completing the final hands-on mentorship requirements. I specialize in positive reinforcement-based training, canine body language, enrichment, socialization, confidence building, leash reactivity and individualized care. I’m experienced with dogs of various breeds, ages, temperaments and behavioral needs, including puppies, senior dogs and those requiring additional patience or specialized handling. Through The Canine Legacy, I provide professional dog walking, structured walks, enrichment sessions, drop-in visits, training, and individualized canine services. My business is registered and insured, and I’m committed to maintaining high standards of safety, professionalism and communication. I understand that trusting someone with your dog and access to your home is a significant decision. My goal is to provide dependable, knowledgeable and compassionate care while giving you complete confidence that your dog is in capable hands. Every dog deserves care tailored to their individual personality, needs and lifestyle. I look forward to getting to know yours! As the owner and operator of The Canine Legacy LLC, professional pet care is an integral part of my daily routine. Unlike someone offering pet sitting as a side job, I’ve built my career around providing dependable, individualized care to pets and their families. I manage my own schedule, allowing me to accommodate a variety of needs, including regularly scheduled walks, drop-in visits, puppy care, enrichment sessions and occasional last-minute requests when availability permits. I understand the importance of consistency, particularly for pets who thrive on established routines. I work closely with each client to develop a schedule that accommodates their pet’s individual needs while prioritizing reliability, flexibility and quality care. Whether you need ongoing services or occasional assistance, I’m happy to discuss your needs and determine how I can best accommodate your pet and your schedule. Your pet’s safety, comfort and well-being are always my highest priorities. With over 15 years of professional experience, formal education in canine behavior and training, and Pet CPR and First Aid certification, I bring a knowledgeable, proactive approach to every visit. As the owner of a registered and insured pet care business, I take my responsibilities seriously and maintain high standards of professionalism, safety and communication. I provide care in my clients’ homes, where pets can remain comfortable in their familiar surroundings and maintain their established routines. I carefully follow all feeding instructions, exercise requirements, medication directions and household preferences provided by each owner. I believe in positive reinforcement, enrichment and individualized care. I’m experienced in recognizing canine body language and adjusting my approach to accommodate different personalities, temperaments and behavioral needs. For cats, I prioritize respecting their boundaries, minimizing stress and allowing interactions to happen at their comfort level. I take additional precautions during walks, outdoor activities and home visits, including checking equipment, securing doors and gates, and remaining attentive to environmental hazards. I also understand the trust involved in allowing someone into your home. I treat every client’s property with the utmost respect and provide consistent communication, updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable and receiving exceptional care. My goal is simple: to provide the same level of care, attention and respect that I would expect for my own pets.

“Melisa did a great job caring for Indigo and we felt so comfortable with her at our place too knowing someone was home while away!!! Thanks for playing with indigo and taking her on long walks!”
