Cat Sitting West Roxbury

“Lindsay was the first sitter we booked through Rover, and we absolutely loved her! She's incredibly thoughtful and paid close attention to every detail of care for our three cats, even the most nitpicky instructions I threw at her. She was also super responsive, so I never had to wonder how everyone was doing. She left our home exactly as she found it, which showed how much she cared about keeping the cats in a clean, comfortable environment. Lindsay truly cares about our cats, and that's what you want in a cat sitter. Highly recommend!”

“Lindsey has watched my two kitties twice and she’s so great. Amazing communication, she’s thoughtful, and truly cares about the cat’s wellbeing! I’d highly recommend her and hope she continues to work on Rover for a long time so my kitties get such great care any time I go away. Thanks Lindsey!”

About: I love walks as much as the doggos do. I accommodate your pets and make sure they’re comfortable and happy while you’re away. Be sure to let me know your animal care needs. I assist my sister with her cat care needs in our own home. She’s the princess, we just live there. Kitty is a professional napper, right in my blankets. :) In my client’s home, I take care of pets according to their care-needs. My home has a cat and is not suitable for housing other pets.

“Holden was an amazing pet sitter for our cat, Maribel! He was very responsive and replied to messages quickly. Maribel was quite shy but he made sure she felt safe, supported and had treats nearby to stay happy! We were so glad to find Holden to take care of our kitty and will surely book with him again and recommend him to anyone in the area with pets! :)”

About: I grew up in a home with dogs, cats, bunnies, hens and roosters. I have never lived without caring for an animal! I love being outside, going for walks, playing and gardening. I am a mom of two school-aged boys and a proud owner of two tuxedo kitties whom we adopted nine years ago. I work part-time in the afternoons as an outdoor preschool art specialist. I am free between 9:30 am, and 1 pm everyday, and Wednesday and Thursday until 3 pm! I may also have early evenings free starting at the end of June. I have plenty of time in my schedule to help you care for your animals. Looking forward to meeting them! I am fun, gentle, playful and caring, and have a good instinct for what dogs and cats need. I can read body language and am sensitive to energy. I look forward to learning more about your pets from you, getting to know them and forging a relationship.

“Arianna took very good care of my two cats while I was away for a long weekend. She was very easy to work with and responded quickly whenever I reached out. She was fantastic at taking pictures and video and sharing them. I felt very comfortable having Arianna stay in my home and take care of my babies.”

“Michelle was a fantastic sitter for our sweet kitty! She was very patient with us when we had some issues with the app during booking, and was quickly available to come over for a tour even though we were only a few days away from our trip. She was very communicative before, during, and after her visit and we came home to a very happy kitty! Thank you Michelle!”

“Victoria took great care of my elderly cat, who needs daily medication. She dealt with some out-of-the-litter-box messes and even went to the vet to pick up additional medication. She kept notes and left the house clean and neat. She sent photos and updates and was very responsive. I wouldn't hesitate to book her again for drop-in or housesitting.”

About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong animal lover, proud dog mom to three rescue pups, and the founder of a nonprofit dog rescue! Through running my rescue, I've had the opportunity to work with dogs of all different breeds, sizes, ages, personalities, and backgrounds. I've gained valuable experience with everything from energetic puppies to shy, fearful dogs who need a little extra patience and understanding. I also have extensive personal experience caring for dogs with medical conditions, allergies, autoimmune issues, and behavioral challenges. My own three rescue dogs have taught me that every dog is different, and I truly believe in taking the time to understand their individual needs, routines, and personalities. I'm comfortable working with dogs who may need extra attention, patience, or a slower introduction to new people and environments. Whether your pup loves long walks, prefers a relaxed stroll, or just needs some extra love and companionship, I'm happy to accommodate what makes them most comfortable. I know firsthand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. My goal is to provide the same level of love, patience, and attention that I give my own dogs, while making sure you feel comfortable and confident that your furry family member is in good hands! I work full-time remotely in the legal industry, but I also own and operate a nonprofit dog rescue, so caring for animals is already a huge part of my everyday life! My current work schedule offers a great deal of flexibility, allowing me to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and other pet care needs throughout the day and week. As a dog mom to three rescue pups, I'm no stranger to balancing feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and individual care needs. I'm fortunate to have the flexibility to work around your pet's routine and provide them with the attention, patience, and love they deserve. Whether your pup needs a quick potty break, a long walk, or some extra companionship, I'm happy to help make their day a little brighter! Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being will always be my top priorities! As the founder of a nonprofit dog rescue and a dog mom to three rescue pups, I understand firsthand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your furry family members. I personally have a fearful, fear-reactive dog, so I understand just how challenging it can be to find someone who is patient, understanding, and willing to accommodate dogs who may need a little extra support. I've dedicated much of my life to accommodating my own dogs' individual medical, behavioral, and emotional needs, and I know that what works for one dog may not work for another. I understand that building trust takes time, and I never expect a dog to feel comfortable with me right away. Through both my rescue work and personal experience, I've learned the importance of respecting each dog's boundaries, recognizing body language, and allowing them to adjust at their own pace. I'm especially passionate about helping owners of anxious, fearful, or special-needs dogs feel confident that their pets are in understanding and compassionate hands. When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to maintain their normal routines and follow all instructions closely, whether that involves feeding schedules, medications, exercise, or specific behavioral accommodations. I believe in creating a calm, positive environment without forcing interactions or putting dogs in situations where they may feel uncomfortable or overwhelmed. I'm also more than happy to provide regular updates, photos, and videos so you can feel reassured while you're away. I know what it's like to worry about leaving your pets in someone else's care, especially when they have unique needs. My goal is to provide the same patience, understanding, love, and attention that I've dedicated to my own dogs, while making sure both you and your pet feel safe and comfortable!

“She was great with my cat and gave me details/pics on how he was doing. It was my first time leaving him for extended period and she gave me a peace of mind.”

About: I’ve worked with animals for years—both personally and professionally. I went to an agricultural high school, where I took classes on animal behavior, hygiene, and training. I’ve cared for all kinds of animals including dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, rodents, and farm animals. I've had my own dog since I was 11, and I’ve been pet-sitting since 2022, doing everything from walking and feeding to staying overnight and cleaning up messes. I'm comfortable working with puppies, senior pets, and high-energy or quirky personalities. Right now I’m watching two cats and an older dog, so I’m used to managing different routines and energy levels. I’ve also been a babysitter since I was 12, and I’m really patient, dependable, and easy to communicate with. I’m a commuter student living in Roslindale, MA. I have a super flexible schedule and lots of availability for walks, check-ins, and overnight stays. I’m a morning person, so I don’t mind early routines at all. I’m also familiar with Boston public transportation and love walking, so getting around without a car is no problem for me. I’m easygoing, organized, and happy to work with your pet’s schedule. When I’m caring for pets in someone’s home, I always aim to make the space feel peaceful and familiar for them. I follow your instructions closely, keep routines consistent, and make sure your pet gets both attention and downtime. I’m clean, respectful, and happy to send updates if you’d like. I’m used to staying overnight, walking dogs with different leash behaviors, and working with animals of all temperaments. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priority.

About: I have cared for animals since I was a child - mostly I have owned cats, but I've owned lizards and taken care of many dogs over the years. I am happy to be active and play around, or just lounge if that's what your animals are more about. I'm just happy to help keep your pet safe and happy and take care of any to-dos around the house that you need done! I work 9 am-5 pm on weekdays but tend to be free in the evenings or on weekends, so if that fits with what you need in terms of pet care, then I am happy to help! I do not currently have any pets in my apartment, but the unit is cat-friendly. I easily adapt to anyone else's living situation so as long as you lay the ground rules, I will respect them!

About: I have rescued birds, kitty’s that have been thrown in the trash and puppies. My cat has had 4 litters, I have helped her deliver all those kittens and I helped her take care of them like they were my own. I have taken care of animals since I was born. I have always loved them and trying to spend as much time with them as I can, they help me think and relax. I also want to work with animals professionally in the future, but we all start somewhere right? I also own two pets, one cat (Amanda) and a puppy, which is a rescue (Gigi) I can take care of small dogs and any kind of cat, I am happy with taking care of any breed. I don’t have any specific request, all I ask for is for specific times and dates, thank you!!! When I take care of pets I treat them like my babies, I make sure they’re fed, they get their playing time and also a few snuggles every couple of minutes. My favorite part is meeting them, these situations are always scary but eventually it turns into a kindergarten class lol.

About: I’ve grown up around animals, and I’ve always enjoyed spending time with them. I have experience in dog training, boarding, walking and grooming! I work in Charlestown from around 7am-4am every day! However I am fully free outside of work hours and can spend all this time with your fur baby :) I notice things in the pets environment that they’re used to or comfortable with, and I continue to implement it. It’s of upmost importance that a pet is comfortable, especially in their own space! When I was working as a dog trainer we learned how to notice when dogs are comfortable and when they are not.

About: I was a dog walker in Back Bay and South end for a year and provided loving care to all the dogs I worked with. I have also worked with all sorts of animals at an AZA accredited zoo in upstate New York for 5 year and have learned about how to care for animals in all capacities wether it be cleaning enclosures or giving out enrichment. Im available all week days for walks and weekends for boarding! I’d be happy to provide care for your pup at anytime during the week! I have a nice big apartment in Brookline next to a park where I’m happy to take your pup for some enrichment when hosting. I will follow any guidelines set to make sure your doggo gets all the proper care they need

“Kitties were well taken care of!”

“Richie was very accommodating and receptive to the needs of our kittens. He was delightful to communicate with and responsive to all our needs. I would highly recommend him and use him to care for our kittens in the future. Thank you for all the tenderly loving care.”

“Olivia was wonderful! My cat is a very social, affectionate guy - he really needs companionship when I have to travel as he can sometimes get ibd flair ups when he is stressed, and I can tell she kept him in excellent company. He was perfectly calm and happy when I got back. I really appreciated Olivia taking the time to do an intro visit; she is friendly and professional, and struck an immediate friendship with my cat - it's always a little scary to leave your pet with a new sitter, but it was easy to trust Olivia with him upon first meeting her. She sent check in texts and photos. We look forward to booking with her again in the future!”

“Rachel was extremely reliable and took such good care of Mocha! She sent us pictures and provided us with plenty of updates. We will definitely have her come back the next time we’re away.”

About: I am a true dog lover and plenty of experience as I have dogsat many times throughout the years. I have had three dogs myself so I understand the responsibility and care that each dog needs! I love animals and love spending time outside with them! I just moved to Jackson and do not start work until the end of April, leaving plenty of time to take care of your pet! My schedule is very flexible so if you need any specific care, I am available. I love to be outside and doing so with a pet is even better! I enjoy walks and hikes, whichever you are most comfortable with.
