House Sitting in Charlemont

“Our two dogs loved spending time with Brit (one of which is a very skeptical rescue particular about people!) Brit really seemed to get what it took to get our pups to feel relaxed with her in the first meet and greet. She stayed at our home and sent regular updates about them, and called/texted when there were concerns or questions about them not eating/taking their meds, etc. She was flexible and able to adapt to them. We appreciated knowing a thoughtful dog person was with them!”

“Matt was great- took good care of our pup while we were away for the weekend and sent pics each day we were away. He left our home clean, stripped the bed, and even shoveled our driveway when we got snow while we were gone! Recommended! Would definitely use Matt again.”

“Logan took good care of Lucy and Chippy! He communicated with us throughout the week long stay and also took good care of the house. When we had a heating issue during a big storm he coordinated with the heating company and was very helpful and professional. Highly recommend! Plus doggies got a good brushing ?”

“Nicole and Terrenze took great care of my cats and pup. I will certainly hire them again next time I go out of town!”

“Some people are just born dog people. Daniel C. Is one. He loves dogs and they love him. He’s also a great dog service person. Dependable. Responsible. Reasonable. Everything you would want in someone who will take care of your pet. A 5 on a scale of 1-5. Sue C.”

“Gillian was great! Took great care of my dogs! I highly recommend her!”

About: Hey there! I have been a certified pet sitter through Rover and Wag for 6 years now. Please feel free to reach out if you need a friend for your pet. :) Please reach out anytime, my schedule is not defined! I am typically more free outside the hours of 9-5 and on the weekends. Though I can work with you to figure out a schedule that works best! I care for the pets respect because I am a guest in their space, and of course lots of love in however ways they are most comfortable!

“We will be sure to hire Mary again. Super professional and kind. Manny is diabetic and blind and Mary handled my old man with compassion and patience.”

“Emily was a delight! She was very thorough and attentive to Othello's medication schedule. She took pictures and he looked so happy. She delivers an A-1 service, and I highly recommend Emily to care for your fur baby!”

About: I’ve taken care of my parent’s dog, friends and relatives when they need someone to walk, feed, and watch over them. I enjoy playing with them and especially walking since I love walking 13+ miles a day, if I don’t have school! I am a full-time college student that works part-time as a letter carrier. I wanted to fit pet sitting/walking on the weekdays as I find myself having more free time after my classes. I can accommodate to the dogs needs! Unfortunately I cannot house sit at my home, but I can absolutely come to you! I would just like a heads-up on the times! I love brushing dogs and giving them baths (though more experienced with small breeds on bathing).

“Xixi was amazing and really went above and beyond for me and my pup :) highly recommend they even helped my neighbor out ! Great job :) ? ?”

“Jessie was absolutely amazing! She was quick to reply to us and made the whole process stress free! She was on time for our meet and greet and is the nicest! Our dogs absolutely loved her! She sent us some great photos of our dogs! We never had to worry, our dogs were in great hands! I highly recommend her for anyone who is looking for a great dog sitter!!”

“Sophie was warm and understanding in our conversations, communicated well, and met with us and our dog before dog sitting in our house for a few days while we went away. Our dog is a large 100lbs. mixed breed rescued from a shelter and we have spent considerable resource and time in training and reconstructed his behaviors. Sophie jumped right in and was able to keep our anxious dog calm and engaged. When we returned home, our dog was calm, well behaved, and did not lose sight of his training--often when we board him at higher end facilities he returns anxious and needs retrained upon our return. Sophie was very willing to also help take care of some of my kids' fishtanks and communicated effectively via text while we were away to troubleshoot anything that came up with our dog or our house. She is highly trustworthy, excellent with dogs, and makes you feel very comfortable leaving your home and dog in skilled and responsible hands. We hope to rely on Sophie for future trips so our dog has a loving and wonderful companion while we are away. Highly recommend Sophie!!”

“Kimberly has been awesome to my pets, we had guinea pigs too and she took care of them multiple times. My dog loved her when she showed up at the house to take care of her.”

“Steph was available to house and pet sit for us at the last minute. She was friendly and professional and sent photos of our pups during her stay. We would definitely book with her again. Thanks Steph!”

“Kristen Was Great! Beau Immediately Took to Her. She Kept Me Up to Date & Informed About Beau’s Care Throughout the Day. She is Dedicated & Has Earned My Trust!”

“Iris was absolutely great with our pit bull mix, who has anxiety, and a handful of our feathered friends. She was very flexible with our scheduling needs and we would use her again with no hesitation.”

About: I've taken care of many dogs for family and friends. I have been house and dog sitting regularly for the same family twice a year since 2007 and through word of mouth have picked up many more clients that would happily give a reference if requested. I feed fish and small pets and I'm happy to hang out with cats, spiders, and snakes too. I work full time for a very flexible boss, so getting home to let pets out on breaks and lunch isn't an issue. Once home for the day I tend not to leave so pets will be well cared for and I'll be very present for them. I don't trust letting any pet off leash while outside unless in a fenced in yard. I'm overprotective to a fault. I have sat on a kitchen floor for 45 minutes letting a dog bark at me while getting used to having me around.

About: I’ve lived with dogs all my life (I grew up with dachshunds!), and I love all animals. I have experience with cats, dogs, and even some with snakes and rodents. When it comes to dogs, I have experience raising puppies as well as working with reactive dogs, and I'm happy to work with you to provide whatever care your pet may need! I'm currently working part-time in a hybrid WFH position, and my availability tends to be quite flexible. I am often available during weekends and holidays. I have experience walking dogs using harnesses as well as collars (though I prefer a harness for my own dachshund, as I don't want to hurt her neck or spine!), and would love to know what your pet's needs are in order to provide the best care! Let me know of all your pet's dietary needs, training regimens, and preferences so I can work hard to make your pet feel happy and safe.

“Shelby has cared for my pets a number of times and they absolutely adore her. Any time they see her pull up the driveway they get so excited and hop in the car 😂 she is very active with them and wears out their massive amount of energy. I would absolutely recommend her for any of your pet care needs!”
