House Sitting West Roxbury

“Lindsay took such great care of my cat Naomi! She was extremely professional and responsive, and she was so helpful even with some very last minute changes/housesitting needs that I was stressing over. Also had no trouble administering Naomi’s medication and was so attentive to her daily routine. I really appreciated all the detailed updates and cat pics!! I would happily have her catsit for us again :)”

“Juliette was thoughtful, attentive, and attuned to my pet babies( a kitten and 1 year old dog). I would hire her again in a heartbeat. I enjoyed the daily photos abd updates and she was all around a lovely and compassionate person.”

“Michael was very punctual, pleasant and relaxed — seemed to “get” my 18-y.o chihuahua right away. This was my first time using Rover, and Michael was a very lucky choice! When I came home several hours later, both man and dog seemed very happy, and my house was in perfect order. Michael was available with less than 24 hours advance notice which was also very wonderful.”

“Marilyn treated our house and pups like her own. The dogs got plenty of attention and exercise and the house was exactly how we left it. She communicates with lots of pictures and our dogs seemed very happy. Would recommend Marilyn to others and we plan on having her back (if she’ll have us) next time we go away”

“Sarah took care of my girls for the second time today, and once again she did an amazing job! I was away all day, so having someone I trust to walk them, feed them, and make sure they were well taken care of was such a blessing. When I got home, they were happy, relaxed, and had already eaten and enjoyed their walks. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing they are in such good hands while I’m away. Sarah is very caring, reliable, and attentive. I’m truly grateful for the way she takes care of my girls, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter!”

“Ailise was such a reliable pet and house sitter for our many pets! She kept us updated with photos and we felt confident our pets were in good hands! Will definitely hire her again in the future!”

About: I follow the guidelines of the owner. I am "present" (not distracted) with the dog. I am consistent and caring. I am very aware of the dog's behavior in the range of other pets and people, and adjust our path and pace accordingly. I am recently retired and my scheduled is flexible between 8 a.m. and 7 p.m. unless I have scheduled time on the water to sail. Currently, I walked my neighbors dog. When I enter, I am careful to close the door immediately and take time to greet the dog (Mazie, female). I am attentive to details when putting on her harness for both security and comfort. While walking, I follow the instructions of the owner relative to the proximity of other dogs since Mazie is a rescue and can become agitated by other dogs. Maize heels very well for me while we walk and I believe she appreciates that I do not listen to music or use my phone while we walk. I converse with Mazie to ensure she feels companionship as well as experiences exercise.

“Emily was absolutely fantastic!! She took incredible care of my lab Dixie, sending me a pup-date every day letting me know how she was doing :) She also left my place spotless. I will definitely re-book Emily for future dog-sitting!”

“Chris seems like a very sweet and reliable person- he was universally very fast to respond to messages, kept in contact with us while we were away, and all our critters seemed very happy when we got home!”

Hannah G.

“Angie was so wonderful! She really helped us feel like our dog was in good hands and we could trust her. highly recommend! I’m so sad to be moving but whoever books her, she is great and gives great care!”

Elisa S.

“Casey took great care of our dog and home! Our dog seemed very happy and the house was spotless when we returned! We will definitely be asking Casey to take care of her in the future!”

Breanna D.

“Amy was amazing! She house sat with my cat Louie for a week and was so good about sending updates, videos, pics. She gave Louie lots of love and attention, I’m so grateful to have found her”

Aasia Y.

“Morgan and Meaghan were exceptionally kind, professional, and communicative while housesitting for my dog Kaya. I received daily updates and photos that made it clear Kaya was well attended to and completely comfortable with them, and I came home to a spotless apartment. It was obvious from the updates that Kaya was being her usual snuggly self, which is the best endorsement of all. Morgan and Meaghan would be top of my list to stay with Kaya again!”

About: I’m an animal lover that has had pets all my life! I’m a calm and patient person who can handle dogs of all sizes and demeanors. I also can’t resist petting a cat. I understand that they are family and will treat them as such! I’m currently working part time so I will have time to take care of your pet and make sure they have all the attention they need. I have reliable transportation and am a Boston native I have a fenced in yard and live very close to walking trails and a park. I have space to crate a dog inside if needed, or they can remain in or outside. I have two cats at home but when other pets enter the house they will be on the second floor only.

“Jainah was great with my pup! She was responsive and totally on top of his care, including meds. It was great getting updates while I was out of town and she made sure to keep me informed when she was heading out. Would definitely recommend and use Jainah in the futute!”

Cathlin B.

“So grateful for Katie taking care of our pup while we were out of town for a week. The updates were great, communication was excellent, and Pru was so well taken care of. We will definitely book again with Katie.”

About: Hi everyone, I'm a Peruvian-USA student living in Boston while I finish my studies. Over the past eight years, I have regularly taken care of friends’ pets, particularly cats, on a voluntary basis. I genuinely love caring for small animals—especially cats—and have built strong, affectionate bonds with them over time. I’m very much a “cat person”: I’m attentive, calm, playful when appropriate, and respectful of their need for space. Cats tend to feel comfortable around me, and I truly enjoy their company. While I’ve never had a dog of my own, I have a healthy, confident, and respectful relationship with dogs as well. I’m energetic, playful, and comfortable setting boundaries, with no fear and a strong awareness of animals’ needs and signals. More broadly, I love animals and enjoy the routine, responsibility, and emotional connection that comes with caring for them. Because I move frequently and am completing my PhD, I haven’t yet been able to commit to having a pet of my own. Pet caretaking has been a meaningful way for me to stay connected to animals during this stage of life, and it would be a wonderful way to bring balance, joy, and much-needed stress relief alongside the demands of dissertation writing. Because I am still a student and do not have a car, things will work out best for folks who live near accessible public transport. I am also open to staying over your place, if needed! I cannot currently host pets but I'm open to going and, when preferred, staying over your place. Besides 2 days a week, when I have in-person research seminars to attend, I have a very flexible schedule. Thankfully I can work from anywhere! I cannot currently host pets at my shared apartment, perhaps in the future. I am open to staying at your place, and it seems this often is more calming for pets.

“Belkis has stayed with our active boy a couple of times and she is great! DJ loves her and she communicates with us throughout her stay. Thank you Belkis!”

“We had a wonderful experience with Cynthia watching our two dogs. They can be a bit of a handful at times but she was great in her care for them and very respectful of our home as well. She also kept me updated with many pictures which was much appreciated!”
