House Sitting in Walden

“Sue is a fantastic sitter for my dog Ellie. She lives very close to me and it is so convenient to have her here. She is wonderful with Ellie and takes her for lots of walks. The house is immaculate when I return.”

“Clara house sat and watch our labradoodle for 5 days and did a fantastic job! Walter was happy and healthy when we arrived home and the house was in excellent condition. Several of our dog-loving neighbors got to know Clara and really liked them. We highly recommend Clara and have absolutely no reservations in hiring them again! :-)”

“Alex stayed at my home for four days to watch my small dog. She did a wonderful job and I came home to a clean house and a happy dog. I will ask her to come again.”

“One of our sweet fur babies recently received some bad news from our vet. This was our first time leaving him since his diagnosis, & I was so worried. Between that & my work schedule being so hectic, the lead up to our trip out of town was just a mess. Stephanie made everything SO much easier for us. Knowing she was caring for them while we were away put me totally at ease. She is kind, patient, communicative, & so very thoughtful. I loved getting updates and check-ins from her. Our cat has had a very poor appetite, & she went above and beyond to try to get him to eat—which means the world to me. It’s not always easy to find someone you can trust with your pets—especially if one of them is ill or takes medication—but Stephanie is the BEST!”

“Chloe was great with our animals. She checked in with me after the first night and sent me a picture of Raina and Raina looked absolutely smitten with her. Warmed my heart. She treated my animals like they were her own. Despite this booking having a hiccup, she handled it professionally and communicated effectively. We will be booking with her again in the future. Thanks Chloe!”

“Katherine has been a phenomenal sitter for my senior dogs. She has been very attentive and has sent me adorable pictures and videos. I was very nervous leaving them for 8 days but Katherine has honestly gone above and beyond my expectations!!! I would highly recommend and I hope to use her again in the near future.”

“Ken was so great with our dogs, he played with them and love them like they were his own dogs, it was really awesome to have him take care of them for us, he's a really nice guy and very down to earth and easy to communicate with. Highly recommended!”

About: I have experience with senior dogs as I took care of my own senior dog while I was in high school, so I am aware of the unique love and care that they need and appreciate. I also love working with high energy dogs as my family dog back home Toby has unlimited energy for play, so I would love to help your dog get their fill while you’re away! I also now have a cat of my own (shout out James) and I absolutely love taking care of cats and their unique quirks! I would love to take care of your wonderful cat so they are comfortable and taken care of while you’re away from home! I am currently getting my master's in counseling, so I have plenty of time during the day outside of my few class times to make sure your pet is properly taken care for! I spoil my cat James! I have adjusted my balcony in my apartment to make sure he gets plenty of time to bird watch with me while I enjoy my morning coffee and book! Figuring out his unique personality and how to take care of him based on his needs was important, as he is very particular with the types of toys he likes! I also loved getting him a water fountain instead of a bowl to make sure James gets enough water! All that being said I want to make sure I spoil your dog or cat just as good as I care for my James!

About: CAN NEGOTIATE AND MODIFY PRICE FOR SERVICES BASED ON LOCATION AND NEEDS! I have been raising dogs, cats, gerbils, etc. (you name it) for years. I am an animal lover of all sorts and very good with them as well. Whatever you ask me to do, I will do it and you and your pet will end up satisfied. I will make sure your pet has an awesome day/night, and return them safe and sound to you. I can bathe, brush, groom. I love to walk and give treats as well. Pick me! You will not be let down. * IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO DO AN IN PERSON MEET AND GREET, I WILL NEED TO CHARGE $8 FOR GAS. (I CAN TAKE CASH, VENMO, OR APPLE PAY) I work from home! So I can watch your fur babes pretty much 24/7. For dogs, I usually take them out three times a day. I take my dogs on several walks a day and to the park! I will do the same for yours, they will be able to play and get any energy out. I have a porch which I let the dogs go out on part of the day to get extra smells and fresh air

“Emily was great with our Sugar. She dog sat for 3 days. She was punctual, cleanly, and sent a lot of photos. We will be rebooking for future trips.”

“John has been so great with Cooper! Sad he will be moving away. I never was worried about my dog while he was in John’s care while we were on vacation.”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life—both large and small, long-haired and short-haired, male and female—so I’m very comfortable with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and care needs. My experience includes daily walks, feeding routines, bathing, basic grooming, and administering medication when needed. I also have experience with cats, including feeding, litter box care, playtime, and respecting different temperaments—from very social cats to more independent or shy ones. I understand that cats often need a calm, low-pressure approach and consistency in their routine. In addition, I have mild but comfortable experience caring for small caged animals such as hamsters, guinea pigs, and similar pets. I’m familiar with basic feeding, cleaning enclosures, and making sure their environment stays safe, clean, and consistent. I’ve also worked at a dog daycare and boarding facility, where I cared for multiple animals at once in a structured, high-energy environment. Outside of that, I’ve provided pet sitting for friends and family over the years, including in-home care where I followed existing routines and kept pets comfortable while their owners were away. My goal is always to treat every animal with patience and care, paying attention to their individual needs and making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and looked after while you’re gone. I work a weekday job, but I have a consistent and reliable availability for pet care. I am off work at 4 PM Monday through Wednesday and available for evening drop-ins, walks, or care visits after that time. On Thursdays, I am off work after 1 PM, giving me earlier afternoon availability as well as evening flexibility. I am fully available Friday through Sunday, including daytime visits, extended care, and overnight stays depending on your pet’s needs. I’m open to both recurring weekly schedules and one-time bookings, and I do my best to accommodate advance requests when possible. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, my priority is always safety, routine, and making sure animals feel as comfortable and secure as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, and medication instructions exactly as provided and pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and stress levels. In my own home, I have a cat and a dog, and any boarding or in-home care would be done with careful introductions and only when it’s a safe and appropriate fit for all animals involved. I keep a calm, structured environment and prioritize supervision, separation when needed, and respecting each pet’s comfort level. In a client’s home, I respect the space, keep things clean, and maintain the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel secure in their environment. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners know their pets are safe and doing well. I’m comfortable caring for dogs, cats, and small caged animals, and I always make sure litter boxes, enclosures, and feeding areas are kept clean, secure, and properly maintained. Safety is a top priority for me—I pay attention to doors, leashes, feeding instructions, and any behavioral notes so pets stay safe and routines stay consistent.

“Carley was amazing! I highly recommend her! She was professional, on time, and checked in on my dogs multiple times a day. Carley checked in with me multiple times a day and sent me multiple photos. I felt very comfortable knowing she was taking such good care of my boys. I will definitely book her again!”

“What a godsend! We were hesitant to take a trip as our Benji has high anxiety but Meghann was an absolute gift! She took such great care of our pup and our home. She provided outstanding communication with updates and pictures that made our time away so much more relaxing. We couldn’t believe how Benji warmed up to her. She’s a whisperer! Our home was tidy and clean and she even came back and stayed with our Boy since our return was delayed. Five stars are not enough…. We will definitely book her again and again.”

“Emma was great!! She did multiple daily check-ins and her communication was overall great!! Diesel definitely had the best time with her while we were gone!”

About: I’ve cared for everything from Chihuahuas to English Mastiffs! We’ve trained them as puppies and cared for them to their last days. They are family. I’m currently working as a part time substitute in Lexington 1. I make my own schedule during the school year. I love teaching special education. I have a large fenced yard. We divided it up into two sides. We also have a huge dog house with air conditioning and beds.

“Elizabeth was great. Stayed in touch. Took good care of both my babies. Would recommend 😊”
