Overall really pleased with the boarding service and will be boarding with Christina again soon!”

I would be happy to trust Linda with my dog’s care again!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience with cats and my attention to detail. I’ve cared for cats of all ages—from energetic kittens to senior cats needing medication and extra TLC. I’m comfortable administering oral medications and sticking to specific feeding or care routines. I take pride in keeping litter boxes clean and tidy because I know how important a fresh, sanitary space is for a cat’s comfort. Most importantly, I respect each cat’s unique personality and pace—whether they’re shy, playful, or a little bit of both.

About: I’ve been doing drop-in visits for friends and family’s pets since I was 15. Never had a pet myself due to my parents’ allergies, so I love giving extra love and attention to other peoples’ furry friends. When I was a junior in high school I even built a local dog park for my Girl Scout Gold Award project, just to help local dogs have more fun letting out their energy. I’m happy to attend to your animals specific wants, like a snuggly or energetic pet, or one of those pets that has a little hidey hole to check in on. My work schedule is hybrid, so I can easily care for your pet while working. I’m always working from home Mondays and Fridays, and I can take on any other day of the week as well, as long as I have a few days notice. I’m happy to meet with your pet ahead of time to let them get to know me while you’re home. I’m used to building trust slowly over time with animals.

About: ***NOTICE FOR NEW & REPEAT CLIENTS*** I will be abroad in Japan for research Sept 2026-August 2027, after which I’ll return to Boston and resume pet services. You’ll find these months blocked off on my calendar. Thank you for your support and patience. I look forward to coming back and seeing the fur babies!!! *** I’ve had dogs in the family since I was a child, and they’ve been all sizes, temperaments and with different needs. I’ve worked with multiple R+ and balanced trainers in the Boston area and actively use training techniques throughout the day to help dogs who are selective-reactive, fearful, shy and/or have separation anxiety. I’m happy to incorporate any trainings you’re working on with your pups while they’re in my care***I do not believe pet services should be financially inaccessible. If you are struggling financially and need assistance, please reach out. I am a graduate student, and spend no more than 3 hours teaching/working on campus, typically in the afternoon, but my office is only 10 minute walk away so I’m rarely gone for long. For pets who would do best with full time WFH, my schedule is flexible. The rest of the time I spend either at home or outdoors at parks or on hikes. My life truly revolves around dogs. Stay at home movie nights with lots of treats or hangouts at the dog parks—you name it! I now have a car, so my serviced area radius has increased for walking and checkin services! I do not offer boarding/stay services in the client’s home.
About: As a professional pet sitter, I bring an unparalleled level of dedication, expertise, and specialized skills to offer exceptional care for animals, be it puppies or senior pets. My commitment towards providing the highest standard of service is not only driven by a genuine love for animals but also backed by appropriate training in both puppy care and senior pet support. This essay will delve into the aspects that set me apart from other sitters, focusing on my unique skill set and the high-quality care I provide for these particular age groups of pets I typically work at the restaurant during my free time, which is usually in the mornings or afternoons depending on my schedule. However, I am available to work on weekends from 9 am to 8 PM. Thank you for considering my availability. keeping your furry friends happy and healthy. It's super important to make sure their living area is nice and clean, and that there's nothing dangerous lying around that could hurt them. By doing some regular cleaning and removing any harmful objects, you can help create a safe and comfortable environment for your pets to thrive in.

From day one, his communication has been clear, timely, and reassuring — we always knew when walks were happening and how Milo was doing.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my deep compassion, patience, and experience with dogs who need extra attention—especially those with anxiety or special routines. I have hands-on experience caring for senior dogs, puppies, and pets who struggle with separation anxiety. My own dog, Sasha, has anxiety, so I understand the importance of gentle care, consistency, and emotional support. I treat every pet like family, and I’m committed to creating a calm, safe, and loving environment while you’re away. Whether your pup needs long walks, slow introductions, or just a cozy lap to nap on—I’ve got you covered! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I have Mondays and Tuesdays off, which gives me plenty of time for daytime walks and drop-ins. On other days, I’m able to fit in visits between school and work—and I don’t mind doing late-night drop-ins if your pet needs evening attention. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, so I’m happy to make it a priority in my schedule. I’m dependable, flexible, and always focused on making pets feel safe and loved while you’re away. I only offer pet care in the client’s home because I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable in their own familiar environment. I follow your pet’s routine closely—whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or administering medication. I respect your space, keep things tidy, and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. My goal is always to provide reliable, stress-free care that gives both you and your pet peace of mind.
