House Sitting in West Newton

“Caitlyn took great care of our two cats while we were away!! She was communicative, friendly, and responsible. She even won over our grumpy cat after a couple days ☺️ Would recommend for cat/house sitting services!”

“Kathleen is AMAZING! Not only was she super thorough about getting to know our dogs and home, but she was also so kind and thoughtful during her stay. She sent us updates and pictures, and even cleaned up and washed the guest room items and towels before we arrived home! Her kindness and generosity of spirit make her one of a kind!”

Amanda M.

“It being our first time using a sitter for our two catahoulas we were understandably nervous. Rachael made the whole process easy, stress-free and an overall great experience. The dogs had a great time and really got along well. Highly recommend!”

“Melissa was great! The dogs were happy campers, the house was spotless, and she was a great communicator! We'll definitely book again when we have a need.”

Kylie M.

“Carly took great care of our dog in our home for three days. She was a thoughtful, conscientious sitter, stayed in close contact, and was easy to work with. Our dog loved her! We will definitely reach out to Carly for coverage on future trips.”

“Hanna was my first overnight sitter for Clementine! She was very thorough in updates and made accommodations to work from home with Clementine while I was away. I would highly recommend her and will use her again in the future!”

“Traci is wonderful with our anxious dog—she stayed with her on two separate occasions, and was very proactive and communicative about how things were going. She also kept an eye on little things around the house and made sure everything was tended to while we were gone.”

Megan C.

“Noah is fantastic. We had no problem leaving our dog and home with Noah. He’s a trustworthy soul and a real canine whisperer. We could tell from the pics he sent that our dog Tally was well cared for and loved. We came home to a happy dog and a cleaner home than we had left. Highly recommend.”

About: My mom is a dog trainer, so I grew up around dogs (and cats and other beings) and learned from her training. Not just how to work with them, but how to build their trust. Just like with humans, care is built on relationship. I'll always take the time to get to know your pet and am a gentle, steady presence. For the past four years, I was so lucky to have an incredible service dog by my side. Sully, a Labrador retriever, was with me 24/7 and we both learned a lot about how to communicate with one another. Sully passed away from kidney disease and cancer this past December, and I miss him tremendously. I'd like to honor his memory by being there for other animal families when they need it. Throughout his illness, I became proficient at giving pills, doing subcutaneous fluids, and adapting our playing to what Sully was up for. Families can count on me to take good care of animals who need extra help. I'm in graduate school Monday-Thursdays, but can offer care first thing in the morning and after 5 pm on weekdays. Most weeks, I can be available throughout Friday-Sunday When caring for pets in their homes, I start by asking their humans to describe their daily routines, what causes the animal stress or delight, and how they'd like their homes to be used. I'll leave things just as I found them. My apartment is small, but we have a big fenced yard. I've got plenty of toys, comfy beds for dogs and cats, water bowls, and treats at home, but I encourage folks to bring over anything that will help their pet feel at home in my place. For walks of more than 15 minutes, I’d likely use my electric wheelchair so that chronic pain doesn’t limit how much of a walk your pup would have.

About: I've loved dogs my whole life and grew up caring for two of my own. I fed them, bathed them, took them on walks and park trips, traveled with them, and handled vet visits and meds. As I got older, friends began asking me to watch their dogs, and those jobs always turned into repeat invitations, which I take as a great compliment. For the past six months, I've volunteered walking dogs at a senior living community, which has taught me to be patient, gentle, and attentive to each dog's unique needs. I follow whatever routines or priorities an owner has, and make sure every dog gets the love, activity, and safety they deserve. I'd be excited to meet you and your pup to see if I can be of help! I'm currently doing school online, so have a lot of flexibility with my schedule! I share a car with my husband so my availability can be flexible with sufficient heads-up. I'm an early-bird so any time really works for me! When caring for your dog in your home, I treat your space with the same respect I'd want for my own. I'm there to focus on your pet's needs, follow your routines, and keep everything running smoothly. I stay focused on what I'm there to do, giving your dog responsible care and making sure they get what they need.

“Jess was great and very easy going with my cat and dog!”

Mary A.

“My little guy will be 16 in May and just got out of the pet hospital so he needed some very tender care. I was very impressed with Sher. She was very gentle with him while cleaning him, takimg him potty, and giving him meds. Tater has been steadily improving every day and Sher played a big part on helping! Will definitely book again!!”

Amy V.

“Cressida did a great job taking care of Musia. She sent us daily pictures of Musia and it was great to see our cat happy. She was quick to respond to our questions and we felt very comfortable while she was taking care of Musia. On your return Musia was in very good mood :)). We would highly recommend Cressida!!”

Julia F.

“Sara was amazing! Our 11 month old Violet loved her immediately. We asked her short notice, to stay a few extra hours and she was super accommodating and responsive. Can't say enough positive things about our experience. Will definitely use again!”

Jen B.

“Very nice man and gentle with my older dog. Was good communicator and I would use him again. Thanks!”

Susan V.

“Elizabeth (Betsy) was amazing for our house sitting this weekend. She took amazing care of our dog. She gave picture and video updates throughout the weekend. Our neighbors even complimented on how good Betsy was with her. I highly recommend!”

Serena D.

“David’s care for Wags was exceptional. Wags had an infection post surgery making the stay more complex but David was so conscientious and thoughtful in paying attention to both the dogs’ physical and emotional needs. He gave me regular updates with pictures and videos and it was clear how attentive and loving he was to Wags. Wags was so content and I was so relaxed on the trip knowing he was being so well cared for. He really went above and beyond my expectations especially in terms of being so careful with attending to Wags’ injury and keeping him safe while still providing him with the mental stimulation he needed. I am so grateful to David!”

Lauren W.

“Stef did an amazing job looking after my pup. She was very communicative and regularly shared pictures. I look forward to working with her again soon!”

Sandrine D.

“Ani is a fantastic sitter, she accepted a last minute booking request and was super communicative. She did a great job handling my pup who is very shy at first with new sitters.”
