About: As a god owner myself I understand what it takes to have a happy, content and healthy pet. Trusted care tailored to every pet’s needs. I am currently working part time and available some days during the week as well as on most of weekends. Happy to do drop ins. I provide loving, attractive care, following routines, administrating medications, and ensuring pets feel safe, happy and comfortable.I treat every pet with patience, love and respect.

About: As a work-from-home mom who grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, and birds, I miss having animals around! Our home is currently pet-free, so I am looking for furry friends to break up my workday with cuddles and exercise. Once school is out, my three kids (ages 12, 10, and 10) are always ready to jump in for backyard play and high-energy fun. I offer attentive drop-in visits and walks in the Newton area and we ready to welcome your pet into our family for walks, play, and endless cuddles. As a work-from-home parent with a very flexible schedule, I can offer your pup the attention and companionship they deserve throughout the day. Whether it’s a midday sunshine break for some Vitamin D or a cozy spot by my desk while I work, your dog will never be lonely. In the afternoons, my kids love joining in for our neighborhood walks, making it a fun, social experience for any pup who enjoys a little extra energy and play! Your dog’s safety is my absolute priority! We live in a spacious first-floor condo in a quiet Newton neighborhood, which makes for quick and easy access to the outdoors—no stairs or elevators to navigate! We live in a pet free house, so your fur baby will get the attention they deserve. We have a large backyard where your pup can enjoy supervised playtime and stretch their legs throughout the day. Because I work from home, I am physically present at all times. When my kids join us for afternoon walks or play sessions, I am always 100% hands-on and supervising to ensure every interaction is gentle and safe for both the dog and the children. Our home is a calm, smoke-free environment where your pet will be treated like a member of the family. I am happy to follow any specific safety protocols or feeding routines you have to keep your pup’s schedule consistent and stress-free.

“Riley loved her visits from Colleen and she was well cared for during our weekend away. Super detailed with notes and pictures while we were out!”

“Carol was fabulous with our older dog! She was very attentive, left detailed reports with pictures and we felt so at ease leaving our dog to go away. She even took in our trash when she noticed the bins were still out. Highly recommend her.”

“Melissa took excellent care of our two kitties while we were away for vacation! She not only gave them plenty of attention and cuddles, but also worked to keep our place tidy. I would ask her to take of our kitties again in a second!”

About: I have been around dogs all of my life, once I was able to properly hold a leash there was no stopping me from hanging out with our 4-legged furry friends! I am a frequent dog walker for coworkers, friends, and family. I also have dog sat on multiple occasions for coworkers, friends, and family whenever they needed me. Most importantly I rescued a very active and very spoiled French Bulldog 6 years ago and he has made my love for dogs even stronger somehow! As much as I love dogs, I also love cats! I will make friends with any sort of animal if I am able to! I work a hybrid schedule for a corporate office. I am in the office on Tuesdays & Wednesdays, and I work from home the other 3 days. Monday, Thursday, Friday I take personal walks on my lunch break as well as after 5pm and would love for a furry friend to join me! Saturdays & Sundays I am open as well! Happy to walk your pup wherever in the neighborhood or area, we'd get out steps in! I have walked dogs in the past ranging from 15lbs, all the way up to 120lbs!

“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!”

Grace F.

“Christie was great when we needed a last-minute walk! She gave a full report of her activities with my pup and took a ton of photos. Would definitely recommend!”

About: I’ve loved animals my whole life. I got my first dog when I was 10, and I’ve always had cats growing up. Over the years, I’ve cared for friends’ dogs while they were away or needed occasional help, and I even took in a friend’s Husky for an extended period. I enjoy going on walks and have a great walking path right next to my apartment, so your dog will get plenty of exercise and attention. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I am a high school dean throughout the school year and am on break all summer! I will be home for the next few weeks and can be completely dedicated to your pet! Once the school years starts I am back home by 3:30pm and stay home for the most part. I live alone in a quiet, pet-friendly apartment with no children or other pets, so your pet will have my full attention in a calm, safe environment. My home is cozy and secure, making it a comfortable place for pets to relax. I always follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with respect and make sure their pets feel comfortable by keeping their routine as consistent as possible.

“Kathleen was great! Her attention to detail and regular feedback put us at ease, especially since it was our first time using Rover. 10/10 would recommend Kathleen for your furry fam :)”

About: I’ve had cats since I was 8 years old. With the 16 years of experience with cats, I believe every fur baby needs a home away from home. Like with every pet parent, I strive for the best with my cat. If you choose me to watch your fur baby, I will provide the best and safest environment for them. Do they need a room to themselves? You got it. Has explosive diarrhea? I have cleaning supplies. Medical issues? Another way to keep me on my toes. I hope you consider me as a prospective aunt to your kitter cat or doggo and can’t wait to fill up my camera role with adorable pictures. I look forward to hearing from you 💕 I am a grad student at Brandeis University. My classes are usually over by 2 pm, so after then I’m usually at my apartment caring for my cat and completing schoolwork. So needless to say, I have a lot of flexibility within my schedule for your pets individual needs. If I am doing home visits, I would like to visit the clients home a day or two prior to the arranged visit(s) to understand the animals needs and to see if we would be a good fit. I believe it is important to establish an understanding with the animal in question before I frequent the premises so there isn’t any unnecessary stress for your pet. In regards to boarding, I have a medium sized apartment that would be good for any cat or small-medium dog. There are multiple grassy areas for bathroom breaks and walks around the premises. You will have to provide me with your animals usual schedule (times for bathroom breaks, when and how much time are committed to walks, feeding times, etc.) so I can build my set around them and their needs

About: Had a Bernese Mountain Dog for over 6 years that I would care for after school. I have been dog sitting regularly throughout college, from things like overnight care, dog walking, or watching for a couple of hours. I am currently a Senior at Bentley University living off campus in a house. I am taking 6 classes but my schedule is very flexible since the school is only 5 minutes away from my house. I live in a neighborhood with a huge park next to my house where dogs can go for a walk! We know all of our neighbors. My house is very dog safe and pay very close attention to detail when watching them. I very hardly ever leave the dogs alone unless it is a complete emergency.

“Kristina was wonderful! I needed a sitter fast, and in quick order, she met me at an initial consultation and provided terrific care for my Luma. I definitely recommend!!”

About: I've been caring for animals since I was 12, when I started pet sitting for neighbors, and I never stopped! I grew up with two dogs and two cats who are still very much part of the family, and I've fostered dogs, which taught me how to earn the trust of nervous animals, manage house-training and crate routines, and stay calm when a pup needs extra patience. I'm comfortable with dogs and cats of all ages and energy levels: puppies, seniors, high-energy walkers, medication schedules, and the shy ones who need a little time before they warm up. I'll send photo updates so you know exactly how your pet's day is going. I'm currently a law student, which means a lot of my work is done from a laptop; I can give your pet real company during the day rather than a quick drop-in and out. I treat every animal like one of my own, and I'll follow your routines exactly as you'd do them yourself. Fall semester: Mondays - Anytime before 6 PM Tuesdays - Anytime after 12 PM Wednesdays - Anytime after 10 AM Thursdays - Available from 12-3 and after 5:30 PM Fri thru Sun - Open availability In my home (boarding & daycare): I'm in an apartment with no pets of my own, which means your dog gets undivided attention and never has to negotiate with a resident dog over space, toys, or food. There's no fenced yard, so I take potty breaks and walks to a park a few blocks away, leashed the whole way, and on a schedule that matches what your dog is used to at home rather than a fixed house routine. My place is pet-proofed before every stay: cords tucked away, trash and cleaning supplies latched or out of reach, nothing left on counters, and doors and windows checked before your dog is off-leash inside. If your dog is crate-trained and you'd like them crated while I'm out, bring their crate and I'll use it exactly the way you do because a familiar crate is far more comforting than a strange one. If they're used to being loose, that's fine too. At night they sleep wherever they're used to sleeping, whether that's a bed on the floor, their crate, or next to me. My schedule shifts with my class and exam load, so I'll tell you honestly what a given week looks like before you book. Some days I'm home nearly all day; on others I'm out for a few hours at a stretch. You'll always know which one you're getting. In your home (drop-ins, walks & house sitting): Same principle, your rules. I follow your instructions exactly: feeding amounts and times, medications, crate routine, off-limits rooms, and any quirks I should know about. I like to do a meet and greet first so your pet can get comfortable with me and you can show me where supplies are, how the locks work, and who to call in an emergency. Keys and codes stay private, and I never bring anyone else into your home. On walks: Leashed at all times unless it's a fenced area you've approved, with a collar and harness check before we head out. I stay off my phone except for photos, watch for traffic, loose dogs, and whatever's been left on the sidewalk, and adjust the route for heat, cold, and your pet's age and energy. I always clean up. Updates: Photos and a short note every visit or day. If anything seems off, you'll hear from me right away, and I'll have your vet's information on hand before the booking starts.

“I booked Hanna last minute to dog sit our aussie Freckles and she was amazing! Super flexible, friendly, and great with our pup. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

About: Hi, my name is Jose and I'm excited to meet you and your pet. I have cared for and looked after dogs, cats, birds, and other animals for most of my life. Your pet will be cared for and loved when they're with me, because above all, I love animals! I have the most experience with dogs and cats, and when it comes to dog training, I implement positive reinforcement methods. I have handled dogs of all sizes, breeds and energy levels. I love dogs because of their boundless enthusiasm and love for even the simplest of things. Your dog will get a lot of attention and playtime when they're with me. You can rest assured that I will treat them as if they were my own. Cats are also welcome, and in fact, most of my experience for the past 5+ years has been with cats, whether it's feeding them, sifting their litter, or keeping them entertained. I'd love to set up an initial call to see if I would be a good fit for your pet. If that goes well we can then set up a meet and greet to confirm details and allow your pet to become familiar with me. I don't work a full-time job since I also take time to take care for my child, so my day time hours are very flexible. For dogs I make sure they're on leash at all times outside and for cats and other animals I just make sure they have everything they need and are entertained under my care.

About: I've been doing pet care since I was 8 and have lots of experience with animals of all ages and personalities. Typical animal care from me looks like refilling food and water, walks, cleaning litter boxes, and finding creative ways to keep your animals thoroughly entertained. This summer I'm taking online college classes so my schedule is super flexible. The only set times I'll be busy doing virtual classes are from 11:00-4:30 on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Please let me know what times work for you. I will always make sure to keep your dogs on leashes when not in fenced in areas to ensure your pup's safety is accounted for.
