Cat Sitting in West Newton

About: I have had cats throughout my 25 years of life. My family got their first dog in 2015; however, my grandparents have had dogs since 2012. I have given dogs and cats baths; as well as clipped their nails. I have dog sat for two family's for about 6 years. While I am not a certified trainer, I have taught my family dog to sit, stay/wait, lay down, touch my hand on command, and even to press buttons! I have open availability Monday through Fridays. On the weekends I run my own business and will have limited availability but will accept offers as they come. On Sundays, I volunteer at a cat rescue in the mornings. I treat all pets with caution, I do not want to make them uncomfortable! I let the animal approach me first. If the animal appears to be uncomfortable but gentle, I will sit on the floor at their level and allow them to smell me first.

“Allyson was an absolute lifesaver! When my regular sitter was on vacation, she stepped in and took amazing care of my YorkiePoo for 6 days. She came twice daily to walk and play with him, which was such a relief while I was working remotely. From the very first Meet & Greet, my pup was smitten—tail wagging nonstop and showering her with kisses! It’s clear she has a wonderful way with dogs. I couldn’t have asked for a better backup sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone!”

About: With experience in 4-H dog training and a lifetime of owning and caring for animals , I have developed strong skills in pet care, including walking, feeding, basic training, and recognizing animal needs. I understand how to be patient, calm, and responsible when working with pets, and I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. I am dependable and truly enjoy spending time with dogs or any animals Pet care fits well into my weekly routine. I work a job every day except Monday, Sunday, and Wednesday, so I am available to provide pet care services on those days. I can also offer flexible times on my available days, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings depending on the client’s needs. I am committed to being reliable and making sure pets receive consistent, attentive care around my schedule. I always prioritize the safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet in my care. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medication needs, and house rules to keep the pet’s routine consistent and stress-free. I make sure doors and gates are secure at all times, and I never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations. I stay alert during walks and outdoor time to ensure they are safe from other animals, traffic, or hazards. I treat each pet with patience, respect, and kindness, creating a calm and positive environment where they feel comfortable and cared for, just like they would with their owner.

“Angela took wonderful care of our pets while we were away! She handled our somewhat complicated routine for food and medication without a hitch, and her thorough updates put our minds at ease while we took a much needed break. We came home to find our pack happy and relaxed. Thank you Angela!”

About: I grew up with dogs, big and small, and I absolutely love them. I have two dogs of my own right now. I know how important it is to keep dogs loved, active, and happy while their owners are gone! I always make sure they get all the excercise and attention they need. I love going on walks, and I am happy to bring your dog along with me. If your dog just needs some extra cuddles and checking on, I’m good with that, too. I also have a lot of experience giving dogs medicine if necessary. I am a teacher, so I’m available most afternoon/evenings and weekends. Please contact me anytime- I would love to help you out! Thank you for trusting me with your pup! I am a full time teacher and work until 3 pm every weekday. I am available most evenings and all day on the weekends! I'm very flexible with more free time on breaks and during the summers, too. I have a fenced in yard, two friendly small dogs, and a timid cat who keeps her distance. I have a calm, patient, demeanor and love interacting with cats and dogs.

“Maja is a great rover who leaves detailed notes and pictures. She always makes sure my kitties have the best care and that their area is clean. She reaches out with questions and strives to give the best care. I highly recommend that you use Maja for cat sitting.”

About: If your pet loves belly rubs, cozy cuddles, and being told they’re the cutest ever, we’ll get along perfectly! I grew up helping with my mom’s dog grooming business and lived in a house with up to 7 dogs at a time (yes, it was as chaotic and as fun as it sounds). I’m super comfortable with all kinds of pups and have experience with cats too! I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel loved while you’re away. I’m currently working part time but can make anything work, just need a bit of a notice before hand! I always have spare time when not at work! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so they feel secure and stress-free. I’m attentive, reliable, and always keep a close eye on behavior, surroundings, and overall well-being. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and cute photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands!
