Pet Sitting in Somerville

About: Your pup or pups will get specialized attention when they live with me! I only take one pup family at a time, so there will be no worries about how your dog interacts with others or if they're safe. One note: I have a cat! I have a lot of experience with dogs for my whole life. I grew up with dogs and have had dogs in my entire adult life. I've worked as a dog walker for the first 3 years I was in LA. I have a fenced yard that is open for pups 24/7 and we love to go on walks. At least 4 a day! The dogs would have full run of the apartment! I work from home so I only leave the house for about 2-3 hours max. I love to have designated cuddle times during the day and at least 2 longer walks. I enjoy training as well if you’d like. I can loose leash train for an additional fee. Positive reinforcement only! **I am an expert with anxious dogs and understand that they need love at their own speed. My rescue dog is anxious with other humans (and even on Prozac) so I deeply understand what it feels like to be an owner of a dog with anxiety. I’ll be their biggest advocate! I work from home and love to walk to the beach a couple times a day. I can run or bike with your dog if they need extra! I have a fenced in yard. I never let dogs off leash unless you request that. I always air on the side of caution. Dogs have full run of my home.

“Amanda was such a sweet caregiver for our fur baby. She was punctual for visits, attentive to our cat’s needs, and thorough with following any instructions provided. We felt completely comfortable with her watching our cat while we were out of town & would absolutely reach out to her for rebooking in the future!”

“Amy was phenomenal! Not only was she highly professional taking notes when first meeting our pup and asking great questions, but she was attentive and clearly very loving of our dog throughout her drop-ins! Amy was fantastic about updates throughout the day, tons of great photos, and even took Echo out on walks around the neighborhood. Her love for animals shines clear, and honestly is everything you'd want in a sitter. Amy will be our new regular sitter for a long time! Thank you for everything.”

“I was very hesitant to use rover for the first time but Michael was very kind and answered all of my questions. He really took the time to learn about my pups and make sure they were happy while I was away. They warmed up to him quickly and let out their crazy side. I felt like we were in constant contact so I knew my dogs were being well taken care of which really took a weight off my shoulders. He even went above and beyond by sweeping up the dog hair which with a Great Pyrenees at home really builds up fast. I am so happy with how everything went and will definitely be using Michael again in the future. It was truly a great experience and I can’t thank Michael enough he really did and amazing job!!!”

“Laura was absolutely great!! She took the effort to meet me a few times prior, so we could practice and learn how to do my cat's inhaler therapy and she was able to consistently do it for him this time! Very very pleased with the outcome!”

“Ethan loves animals and really connects with them. I have seen him caring for both cats and dogs and he is very dedicated, responsible and patient. Ethan has cared for my cats when I've gone on extended trips, coming to my home to provide daily attention and care, and has cared for relatives dogs on a daily and extended basis. I highly recommend Ethan if you are looking for someone for help with your pet.”

“Seems as thought Nova loves Camille already, which makes me feel comfortable. Thank you so much!”

“I've known Allie for almost a decade and the 3 words to best describe her are trustworthy, caring, responsible; all qualities that qualify someone to be a good caretaker for our pets. Our pets are like our children, and we would want them to be in safe hands while we are away, and they will be with Allie. She has two boy cats of her own and grew up with a dog. She has a passion for helping animals and has a big heart. I would recommend Allie to be your petsitter.”

“Erin is one of the most responsible people I know. She's balancing college, a job, and volunteering with various clubs and organizations on campus. She's had multiple dogs and cats her whole life and they're so well cared for and loved. All of her pets receive fantastic care and are exercised according to their needs: her young dog goes on longer walks while her older dogs and cats get less intense play. Any animal placed into her care is going to be well-loved and cared for as if they are her own.”

About: I’m new to Rover and am a life-long pet lover eager to provide assistance to pet owners in need. I will treat your pet like my own due to my sincere love for animals. I have many years of experience taking care of dogs and don’t have a pet of my own at the moment, so I am able to be available more often. I am available Monday-Friday from 430pm until the evening, and whenever on Saturdays and Sundays. ** Sometimes there are days during the week that I am available all day, such as Thursday 5/22, Friday 5/23, and Friday 6/13 ** I will make sure your pet is well taken care of and comfortable. Upon arrival I will make sure their water bowl is filled with cold fresh water and can feed them if this is something that is needed. I will also make sure there is nothing hazardous within their reach or on the ground to ensure they are safe until your return

“Frida is an amazing dog owner. She treats her little doggy like he is family. You will not find someone more caring and responsible than her to care for that extension of your family while you are away.”

“Elizabeth is one of the most loving and dedicated pet owner I have ever met. She is well equipped for cats and dogs! She not only has two medium/large sized dogs, she also has a cat! Elizabeth takes the time everyday to ensure the quality of life for her animals.”

About: Pets are so much more than pets to me. From a young age, I have always appreciated how fulfilling it is to care for and connect with animals. Currently, I spoil a 6 year old, ragdoll, drama queen kitty named Mimi, and I am the proud "favorite uncle" to all my friend's and family's fur babies. I am very aware of your pets energy and body language and always respect their boundaries, pace, and preferences. No pooch is too timid and no kitty too spicy. I have a flexible schedule as I am a student with fully online terms this Spring and Summer. In addition to caring for your pet, I am happy to tend to other small tasks in the home that may be needed while you are away. I'm the type of person that will tighten all the loose knobs in your kitchen and WD40 the squeaky front door, just because I noticed and it makes me happy to help. I am currently attending college fully online for the Spring and Summer semester so I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I am most available during the week, but can make myself more available on the weekend as well, especially for regulars. When caring for pets in a clients home, I like to talk to the animals a lot so they can familiarize with my voice and build trust by giving them attention and stimulation. Generally, I tend to feeding, playtime/walks, cleaning waste, light house cleaning, and tidying on my visits.

“I’ve known Kim for seven years and since I have known her, Kim has always been caring and considerate, especially when it comes to watching over other peoples animals as well as her own. Kim also loves her dog Koji so much that whenever he gets sick she brings him to the vet and is extra attentive with him, she loves to take him on daily walks, and would take her dog to the dog park occasionally to play with other dogs.”

About: Neighbors and friends have relied on me to take care of their dogs for years and I’ve trained and cared for my own dog for 10 years. I’m currently a full time grad student who has class at night. I work an internship Monday-Wednesday, and a part time restaurant job as well on weekend nights. My days are mostly free! I can cater to your needs and do what is needed to keep your dog safe. I believe in safe care for pets and their needs are important to me

“Yana took good care of our boy while we were away. I enjoyed seeing the photos she sent and hearing the updates of each visit. She communicated well while we were gone and made us feel at ease while we were gone.”

“Courtney was extremely attentive to all my puppies needs and wants! I was very impressed with how she took the extra steps to make me feel comfortable having her here with my puppy. She even took funny and cute photos to send to me! Will definitely be booking more sessions with Courtney again soon!”

“I’m so thankful I found Courtney!! She’s great with my dogs- they love her!- She’s reliable and trustworthy, she also offers training sessions which have been life saving!!! Having two young dogs is a lot of work and training, she handles them like the professional she is- I won’t use anyone else!! I highly recommend her!!”

“I can't recommend Brett enough as a dog sitter! They are incredibly responsible, caring, and truly love animals. Whenever my dog stays with them, I know he’s in great hands—he gets plenty of playtime, walks, and snuggles. Brett keeps me updated with photos and messages, which puts my mind at ease. If you're looking for someone who will treat your furry friend like family, Brett is the perfect choice!”

“Miranda was the best sitter for my puppy! She sent pictures and a description of her drop in visit and I highly recommend her!! Super professional, knowledgeable about dogs and SO nice!”
