Dog Sitting Westford

“As usual, Ria does an amazing job watching our cat Lily. She’s incredibly dependable, diligent, and detailed in her care and updates. We are lucky to have her watching our fur baby!”

About: I have had dogs for 20 years and will treat your dogs like my own. Will accommodate requests as much as possible for your family. https://www.rover.com/sit/micheb79651 I am available for drop in visits for walks, can fix any special food if needed and give oral medication. Every visit will include time to sit and visit. I will always walk dogs on leash and take extra time to care for your dog like my own. I can crate if needed for your dog.

“My cat avoided the last cat sitter I had come in. Thu was able to get him to come out and play somehow. On top of that, she made sure his basic needs were well taken care of!”

About: My name is Alyssa and it would be my pleasure to take care of your animal! I’m an experienced pet sitter. I have dogs and a cat of my own so believe that your animal is in the best care. Whatever needs your animals has I can take care of. I am serious when it comes to doing anything with making sure animals are safe and happy. I can give medication, meet your pets needs, and go the extra mile for the best care for your animal. I am currently a student and looking for a part time job, so as of now I am available through out the weekday to help check in on your pet while you’re at work, on vacation, or simply out for the day! I can do special request if needed on weekends. I do not offer boarding at my personal home, but am happy to drive to your home instead! I like to follow the instructions given to me to ensure your fur baby is the most comfortable.

“This is our first experience with Rover, we were unsure about it at first but Nicole was amazing! She went as scheduled and we got a sweet and detailed update every day. It's obvious how much she loves cats, our kitty walked right up to her at the meet and greet so he could tell too! We are so grateful to Nicole for giving him so much love while we were away!”

“Alyssa was so great!! We have a cat that gets cranky and skittish when we leave, but Alyssa was SO patient with him and was so attentive. She took great care of him and went above and beyond. I’d absolutely book with Alyssa again if/when we go away again. Thank you!!”

About: I am a dog lover! I’ve been a go-to care taker for my friend’s dogs for years. I’m more than happy to help you out with your doggy needs! I am home during the day to drop in, walk, or spend quality time with your pets. Let me know how I can best support you and your family friends! I’ll do my best to meet you and your pet where they’re at. I want to match your schedule, routine, and daily activities as best as I can to reduce stress for you and your loved ones.

“Rachel was a huge help taking care of my dogs over the past couple months. She is reliable and incredibly responsive. I am a repeat customer and will continue to be one in the future.”

About: I've taken pet care seriously since my childhood dog passed away several years ago. I have taken care of senior dogs, and currently a hyperactive dog I've had since she was 3 months old. I previously worked at Petsmart, so I can administer medication to a variety of pets, including lizards and birds! You can trust me with your puppy, houstrained or not, up to your oldest, biggest dog. I also take care of the family cat and love spending time with cats in general. During the weekdays and weekends I have all the time in the world for your pet as needed! Early days or late nights are just fine. Whatever your pet wants or needs, I can give 100%. They can get up on the couch with me, I will give them long walks and they'll get plenty of belly rubs and treats! For cats they're such picky little rascals that I will adjust to their needs, whether that's playing or giving them space.

About: As a lifetime dog lover and owner, your dog will be in good hands here. I have fostered and provided basic training to over 14 puppies in the past year and I remain close with almost all of the adopters. I have two hound/ lab mix rescues - Spencer is 8 YO and Peaches is 7 MO. Both were rescued at almost 4 months old and both are neutered and spayed. Our household (me, my husband, our HS Senior, and our pups) loves dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and temperments. We (our dogs included) understand how to read cues and body language and respond appropriately. My promise to you and your fur babies are that they will have plenty of walks, indoor/ outdoor playtime, potty breaks as needed and as frequently as every 30 min, training and mental stimulation games, water, a comfortable space to rest, and as their health and well being are my top priority, they will have adult supervision at all times. I will only board dogs of the same household in my home at one time. The exception to this is if they are already known friends. Communication is important - tell me their likes, dislikes, known commands, feeding schedules, dietary/ physical restrictions, medication needs, etc. and I will ensure to follow the rules and schedules of your home. I will send plenty of updates and pics and if needed I am happy to give baths and nail trims — if they don't mind them. I guarantee your dogs will return home happy. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask! Training commands I practice regularly are sit, lay down, paw, wait, come, short leash training, and potty training. Spencer and Peaches have proven to be great trainers as well! During meet and greets or via messages I can share what I have for toys, treats, bath time shampoo, pet conditioner, nail trims, etc. I'm happy to use what you provide as well. My schedule is currently very flexible. The majority of my work is remote. As I work towards my next business venture, I would like to continue my passion of working with dogs using positive reinforcement. I have a large yard surrounded by woods in a quiet community. When dogs are in the yard they have leashes on them unless they have good recall as the yard is not fenced. I will always be outside with them with a pouch full of treats. I also have a gated porch to ensure dogs can enjoy time sitting on the porch and will not escape into the yard when we open the slider. Walks in the neighborhood and on trails are always on leash. If your dog is accustomed to the Chelmsford dog park, I would be happy to bring them there as well once I get to know them. I use adjustable doggy seatbelts while driving. I will only bring two dogs max. Feeding schedule is two or three times per day depending on each dogs schedule. They will eat alongside of my dogs or they can have their own space to eat without distractions. I have two large crates with a divider to create a smaller space if needed. Most dogs have full access to the main first floor. The upstairs is available to fully trained dogs after getting to know them better. I have multiple gates to block access to rooms when needed. I get to know all dogs I board by communicating with their owners and with close frequent observation. I ere on the side of caution, test in small increments in safe quiet settings, building trust and increasing freedom accordingly with the best intentions to ensure their safety and security. New high value dog bones are prohibited while boarding. I have plenty of safe, dog friendly bones and toys here that I'm sure will keep your pup(s) happy.

“Traci took fantastic care of our cat while we were away over Thanksgiving! He was a happy cat when we arrived home instead of his usual grumpy self.”

About: Having grown up surrounded by animals, I have a lifetime of hands-on experience in animal care. From helping my mom with dog boarding to caring for horses, I’ve developed a deep understanding of animal needs and behaviors. Whether it’s giving extra love to puppies, ensuring senior pets stay comfortable, or simply offering your furry friends a safe, loving environment, I approach every pet like they’re my own. My experience and lifelong passion make me the perfect sitter for your pets, no matter their age or personality! With a flexible work schedule, I’m able to give your pets the attention and care they deserve! I work mostly remote with only a few hours spent in-office each week, so your furry friends will never be alone for long. Whether it’s taking walks, playtime, or simply offering companionship, I can adjust my routine to fit your pet’s needs and ensure they feel loved and cared for at all times. I treat every pet I care for as if they were my own—like part of the family. Whether they’re staying in my home or yours, I focus on providing a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I make sure to stick to their routines, offer plenty of playtime, and provide affection to keep them feeling happy and secure. You can rest easy knowing I’m always attentive to their needs and will go the extra mile to make them feel right at home.

“Sarah-Jane was a great care giver for our cat, Loki. She made sure Loki was fed, brushed, played with and cared for during our absence. Sarah-Jane precisely followed my care instructions and left our house key where we asked her to leave it. I highly recommend her for your pet’s needs.”

“Emily was so wonderful with taking care of our cat and dog! She provided great updates with lots of details and photos, and we could relax on our trip knowing our pets were getting lots of attention and love. 😊”

About: I've cared for dogs since I was young, with over 3 years of hands-on pet care experience. Friends and neighbors often trust me to walk, feed, and look after their dogs. At home, I'm the proud owner of a mini poodle, so I understand the daily needs, routines and personalities of small breeds. I'm patient with puppies, gentle with senior dogs, and always attentive to each pet's comfort and safety. Also I love running and often take dogs with me for safe, fun jogs, which keeps them happy and healthy. I care for my own mini poodle every day, so pet care is already a part of my daily routine. This makes it easy and natural for me to care other dogs at the same time. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups. I live in a quiet, low-traffic neighborhood that's very safe for daily walk. Our home is just a short walk from Nara Park and Bruce Freeman Rail Trail. My friendly mini poodle helps new pups feel welcome, and I always supervise playtime to make sure every dog feels secure and cared for.

About: I’ve been taking care of cats and dogs since I was 16 and my love and connection and knowledge has only grown stronger for animals Right now I have plenty of time since it’s winter to take care of any pets, I prefer noon time or 12 and after that I have a two floor house plenty of room for a pet to enjoy himself and feel at home I had a round fenced backyard as well as stream in back of the fence

“Tom was great with my kitty for the 2 weeks I needed him to come while I was out of the country. He played with her, fed her, and kept the litter box very clean. He took nice photos, too. I would hire Tom if I need these services again.”
