Dog Sitting Waltham

About: My daughter and I would love to help you out! I have experience with a high needs bully breed, and have ample experience with training and caring for pups and cats- grew up with 2 cats and a dog:). My daughter would be present for any dogsitting, but not with me for walks and drop - ins unless pre-approved with you:) I work from home Tuesday through Friday and am around most of the weekends and would love to help you out either of those times We have miles of trails behind our house and green spaces nearby. We’re happy to walk your pups on your terms where you are most comfortable!

“Katherine was very responsive, easy to communicate with, and took great care of my cats. I appreciated the check in pics!”

“Avery was awesome! She watched my kitties for multiple days while I was traveling and I came home to very happy and content cats. She brushed and played with them, and gave their oral medications every morning. She always sent a detailed description of each visit with lots of photos. I will be rebooking Avery in the future!”

“Maeli was able to help us on short notice, which we really appreciated. She even came ahead of time to learn how to take care of our guinea pigs, which meant a lot to us. Since this was our first time leaving our pets with someone else, having someone reliable and trustworthy was super important, and she was great. Everything went smoothly, and I’d definitely reach out to her again if we need help in the future. 🐹🐹”

“Deirdre took amazing care of my dog and cat while I was away for the weekend. She was timely, reported every trip and even sent along photos to show my animals were in good care! When there was a medical situation, she informed me which made me feel like my pets were in good hands. Will definitely be using Deirdre for my pet care needs in the future!”

“Alexander was a very kind and responsible care provider to our two darlings and his extra care and communication was very helpful as we changed a couple of routines for our cats just when he came to care for them. Our shy kitty even interacted with him! I highly recommend Alex if you need a caring and attentive cat-sitter.”

About: I’ve grown up with three dogs and have always loved caring for them as part of the family. I have experience with dog walking and drop in visits with my sisters dogs as well as friends. It's important to me that our pets receive the proper attention, exercise, and patient care they need. I’m patient, reliable, and enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship while you’re away, I treat every dog with the same care and kindness I would give my own. I work a second shift engineering job (2pm-10:30pm) during the weekdays so I’m available to drop in or walk dogs before I leave for work (before 1pm). Weekdays: 9:00am - 1:00pm Weekends: Anytime Ideally I’d walk or run to your home and for dog walking, I'd typically do 15-45 minute walks depending on your pet’s needs but I am flexible upon request. Weekends are usually free for me as well. I love being active and outside and am always running, walking or swimming so this is the perfect way for me to get a companion to join me on a walk or for some fresh air :) I’m great at following any instructions given so your pets will be in great hands! I grew up with dogs and can’t wait to get my own again some day- but my personal experience with animals will certainly help me take care of your pets.

About: Hi there, my name is Gloria! I have my Bachelors of Sciences degree in Animal sciences, with an emphasis in companion animals from Virginia Tech (GO HOKIES!). I have dog and house sat for over 10+ years all though out college and post grad with breeds ranging from chihuahuas to great danes and pit bulls! My goal is to provide your pet(s) an enjoyable experience at the comfort of your home that allows you to feel confident and at peace while you're away. Depart stress free on that dreaded business trip, or better yet, take that time off for you and your family and to go on that amazing vacation that you've been dreaming of all these years! I honor owners wishes in terms of methods of discipline and reward as I am a firm believer of consistency in training when keeping expectations. Feeding dogs human food and smoking in the house (or in general), are personal deal breakers for me, as they go against my morals and values. Bottom line: I would honestly LOVE your dog/cat(s) for free if I could, but saving up to apply to PA school isn't going to happen overnight! I am HONORED for the opportunity to take care of your best friend(s) as I would my own, and I can't wait to meet one if the most important member of your family! I am currently studying for the GRE and am planning to apply to PA school, thus I have all the availability to do drop in, walks, and sittings while I prepare for the exam and apply within the year. Safety and privacy is an upmost importance to me, especially when it comes to coming into your home and loving on your furry loved ones! This is a core value that I will uphold when providing my services in your home.

About: Hi there! I'm Devika and I identify as a certified dog aunt to all pups in the land. In all seriousness, I feel very attuned to dogs, including those with unique, diverse temperaments and needs. I grew up with a family dog, a shih-tzu named Leo, who passed away after a beautiful 14 years. After graduating, I didn't have the resources to commit to a full-time dog as much as I love them. There began my fostering journey during which I cared for 10+ dogs (varied breeds, sizes, and ages), anywhere from a few days to several months. During their time with me as their foster mom, these pups were able to begin acclimating to domestic life and working towards getting ready for their forever homes. Each foster experience was so special and I learned something new from each pup. That curiosity and attentive care is what I bring to dog care. Outside of my endless love for pups, I am a clinical psychology doctoral student which brings a whole other facet to my dog care. With my background in trauma, anxiety, and behavioral interventions, I also bring an astute and knowledgeable eye to caring for animals. This includes trauma-informed care (no restraints unless absolutely necessary for safety), thoughtful approaching, and gently authoritative training (only if indicated). Importantly, I completely respect the autonomy of pet-owners in how they want to raise and care for their pet, and will carry out duties with utmost care and diligence. My top priority is for your pet to feel safe and loved, and for you to have peace of mind while you leave your baby in my care. Please reach out with any questions and I'd love to connect more! I am available on weeknights and weekends to for dog-walking, drop ins, and house sitting. I can dedicate my time to providing your animal with utmost care. I live close to Beaver Brook Reservation and am also able to go to more secluded areas if your dog is sensitive or has other needs. I provide updates during your pup's time with me and am a strong communicator about scheduling. I care for pets in a safe, thoughtful, and generous way. I am able to adapt to the dog's needs, and am happy to accommodate to the level of care you prefer and need. I am so excited to meet you and your pup!

“She is very kind and loves my puppy. I am grateful for the great care and attention provided for my puppy. She was reliable and genuinely caring. I do recommend her.”

About: Hi! I am excited to meet your pets! I have had animals my whole life and have a special loving bond with all animals! I have done pet sitting and work in shelters for a number of years. Pet care is my daily responsibilities with my own pets at home. I volunteer at shelters but would love to make your pets part of my day! I am very knowledgeable about animal behavior and animal needs. I understand the importance of understanding each animal and their needs! I approach each animal slowly and calmly to help comfort them as we get to know each other.

“Brianna made sure my hateful little furball was well-cared for, understanding how to give her the space she needed while still keeping her company and well-fed. Thank you so much!”

“Very good job!”

About: I have two years of experience looking after dogs and cats. I work from home and have a flexible schedule to board and provide walks for pets. I currently work part time and am able to provide walks or board animals 7 days a week. I have a very flexible schedule throughout the week. I live in a spacious apartment with a nice park across the street to go for walks. I am also very respectful of other peoples spaces.

“Linda was terrific. She is reliable, detail oriented, and perceptive. She clearly cares deeply about animals. You can be sure your pet will be well cared for.”

About: Howdy! My name is Natalie and any dog I've met I have loved like my own. Growing up I had my fluffy 90lb Labradoodle and two sweet guinea pigs. Aside from my own pup, neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk and feed their dogs and care for their cats. I currently have a full time job where I have to go into the office Monday-Thursday but an available for walks and drop-in on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I live in a small apartment in Brighton MA across the street from a wonderful reservoir and less than a mile away from several parks! I am a very active person so would be a great host for an athletic or active dog! However, if your dog is less active, I can easily bring my activity level to where your dog is happy and comfortable. I allow pets on my bed and couch, unless you prefer them not to.

About: Hi! I’m Becky and I’m Mom to Bernard, a sweet and loving 3 year old golden retriever, Bubbles (9 year old cat) and Luna (8 year old cat). I grew up with both cats and dogs, and have been a pet sitter off and on since I was in middle school! I love caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities and have week night and weekend availability to provide care for your furry friend! I do offer boarding in my home for weekends where your pup would hangout with Bernard, myself, and sometimes my pet loving husband! My cats keep to themselves (they have their own room where their litter box and food are dog proofed) :) I’m a full time teacher but I’m free most weekdays after 4:00 and most weekends! During summer, holidays, and breaks I have more flexibility :) I can come to your home or your dog can stay with me :) I do have a large crate that my dog doesn’t use anymore if needed. I have a large yard (not fenced in but have multiple dog runs set up) I’d play with your pup, try to reinforce training skills, give lots of love, and make sure they are happy and thriving!

About: I am a housekeeper in some families and whenever they travel they trust me to take care of the dogs and cats, I sleep in their house. Waking up early feeds them and going for a walk, in the early afternoon another walk, and a treat at the end of the day around 8pm dinner and the last walk.

“Leanne was fantastic with a drop in visit, timely, communicative and took tons of photos. She was also able to handle dinner and meds for my pups”

Nabil E.

About: I offer pet sitting, house sitting, pet walking and drop in visits. I’ve had pets my entire life, both cats and dogs, birds and hamsters. I consider myself an animal lover and currently have three senior cats who I adore! I truly feel that animals bring us immense amount of joy and I promise to treat your fur babies as if they were my own! If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask me! My schedule is very flexible and open to providing care as needed! Please just let me know what your expectations and needs are and we can go from there! I will be sure to have an open line of communication with the pet parents. I will review emergency contacts including the vet information with the pet parents and make sure to review all necessary information regarding the pet including the pet’s daily routine, amount of exercise needed and the type of food they eat.
