Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in South Dorchester, Boston

“Jose stopped by to meet my pet and get the lay of the land ahead of time. He asked questions, was friendly, and put me at ease about leaving my cat's care in his hands. He sent photos during every check-in and the place looked just as I'd left it when I came home. I would definitely recommend Jose and would use his services again in the future!”

“David has been awesome with Roxi! He is great at communicating if he's running late, when he is grouping her together with other dogs, and clarifying if something looks odd in the schedule. He has been really accommodating with last minute changes, and making sure he prioritizes her safety.”

“Tam was amazing with our cats, they were comfortable with her during her visits (Mia was sitting on her lap instantly, and that says it all) the photos she shared reassured us they were happy and doing well. Will definitely book with Tam again.”

“Lauren was very nice, easy to communicate, and provided amazing report cards with the perfect amount of detail for drop in visits for my two cats. Would happily book with her again in the future!”

“Ange was amazing. She looked after my two kitties while I was traveling. Every day, she dropped by for 30 minutes, providing the kitties with wet food, handling their litter boxes, giving them company, etc. She sends amazing picture and written updates—reading her updates was one of the highlights of my day while traveling. She is super accommodating and follows instructions very accurately. I totally trusted her and will use her again and would recommend her. The only minor downside is that she sometimes had to miss the regular schedule and come a bit later. It’s not a big deal, but I feel having an exact schedule could be more comforting for the cats. But again, this is a small thing and not a big deal.”

“Paul & Rachel are fantastic! They leave great reports and photos with each visit, and my cat, Finn loves them! They are great to work with and always make leaving our cat for a few days easier!”

“Tommy was wonderful with our two cats. They were especially patient with our elderly cat who needed more time to eat. They took their time feeding and playing with the cats, made sure the doors were locked, and were kind enough to bring in any packages that were delivered when we were gone. Would definitely contact again next time we need a sitter.”

“Abigail is an absolute angel and makes it possible for my husband and I to travel. She is super dependable and our cat loves her. We super appreciate her detailed reports and couldn’t ask for a better person to check on our cat while away.”

His care and consistency made a big difference for our cats, who he played with and took great care of (as well as our plants). Feel fortunate we found him. Thank you Gage!!!”

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my commitment to providing personalized care that goes beyond the basics. I understand that every pet is an individual with unique needs and quirks, and I tailor my approach to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it's patiently training puppies with positive reinforcement techniques or providing gentle, attentive care to senior dogs, I have the experience and skills to handle a variety of situations. I'm comfortable administering medication, managing dietary restrictions, and providing specialized attention to pets with health concerns. More than just a sitter, I strive to be a trusted companion for your furry friend, offering engaging playtime, enriching activities, and plenty of cuddles. With me, you can rest assured that your pets will receive the highest level of care and attention, leaving you with peace of mind while you're away. I currently work 4 10 hour days so I will be free 3 days out of the week- Saturday, Sunday, Monday to take care of your pets any time on these days. Whether it’s early in the morning or late at night I can do it all! Caring for pets, whether in my home or yours, begins with understanding that each animal is an individual with unique needs and preferences. I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and stimulating environment for every pet under my care. This involves removing any potential hazards, providing a cozy space for relaxation, and ensuring access to fresh food and water at all times. Regular exercise is also key, tailored to the pet's age, breed, and energy level, whether it's a brisk walk for a young pup or gentle playtime for a senior dog. Beyond the basics, I'm highly attentive to each pet's behavior and health, watching for any signs of discomfort or distress. Most importantly, I always adhere closely to the owner's instructions, ensuring that their beloved companions receive the same level of care and attention they would at home.

About: I majored in animal science in high school, working with a variety of animals including dogs, cats, and others. I have also owned a cat my whole life. With the exception of events and vacations, I am available all summer. With proper notice, I can typically make myself available but will let you know if otherwise. My top priority is the safety and comfort of your pet. I follow directions closely and easily bond with most animals. However, I will respect your pet's boundaries

“Grace was so great with my cat! Communicative, friendly, flexible, I really appreciated her help - definitely recommend for any pet sitting needs”

“Amazing amazing amazing. Could not speak more highly of Eleanor. She took fantastic care of two of my little monster kitties. She got to know them both, went above and beyond, and even brought some toys from home that she thought they might like. I absolutely recommend her and will be rebooking with her!”

About: Hi - My name is Sarah, and I am a life-long dog and cat owner who can't wait to meet your fur baby! Dogs have always had a particularly special place in my heart; when I was a kid, I knew the names of every dog in my childhood neighborhood. I have experience walking, playing, feeding, and doing some light grooming of dogs since I was twelve years old. I have experience playing with, feeding, and doing some light grooming of cats since about the same time. I have also owned mice and hamsters at various points throughout my life. I have a gentle demeanor that makes animals naturally trust me. I am just as happy to be playful or cuddle on the couch with a pet, and I am naturally cautious, making sure to build trust with pets so they can get to know and feel comfortable with me. I look forward to caring for your pets!! I am an educator who is off for the summer, so my week day availability is very open until the end of August. After August, I will still be available nights and weekends. I will work with the safety measures you have in place at your home. I will keep a watchful eye on your pets inside and outside. I have experience crating dogs and can do that if necessary. I will also make sure leashes and harnesses fit well and are not frayed or torn.

About: I have had cats all my life, and more recently started dog sitting over the past 3 years. Both in my own home, and in their owner’s homes. I have a variety of experience with different breeds, some in particular are golden retrievers, shelties, and frenchies. I have also cared for a variety of pets including turtles, sugar gliders, bunnies, and hamsters. I’m an all around animal lover💓🐶🐱 I work from home and I am available throughout the day for walks and playtime during my breaks. I am free most weeknights and weekends. I am currently watching 2 cats that keep to themselves. I am in an apartment with a small open front yard and have a nice neighborhood for walking with a dog park 0.3 miles away

“Julia made leaving our kitty for the weekend so much easier by sending us pictures and updating us with each visit. Will definitely be using her again and would recommend her to anyone.”
