“Kami was very accommodating with my last minute request for a drop-in visit the next day. She arrived promptly and sent an adorable picture of my little ones who looked very content with their new friend. I will reach out to Kami again for future needs.”


About: I have been a veterinary technician for a long time! I have recently changed careers and have been a student again. I miss being around fur babies and I would love to have the opportunity to do it again! I started my career with animals in a shelter and moved into the veterinary field. I have had too many foster animals of all types to even count! I am completely confident in my skills weather that be behavioral, medical, age specific, etc. My own pets are all over the rainbow bridge now and I deeply miss these interactions. Very available unless on vacation. Reach out if you need something! We may be able to make it happen! Full time student home for the summer ready to take care of your fur babies! I do not have a fenced in yard but I do have a large yard to walk your dog all around! We also have a great area to go on longer walks right on our street! While your away, let your pet have the experience of their very own vacation with me!


About: I’ve owned a dog since I was a child and am always relied upon when my family goes on vacation to take care of their pets. I am reliable and communicative with pet owners. I am currently working part-time so I have a lot of free time to take care of your pets. I am available any day of the week as of right now. I will always follow clients instructions on how to feed, play and take care of their pet. I will do whatever the client asks of me as I am an animal lover and strive for the best pet care.

About: Pet CPR and first aid certified. Pet owner for 35 years. Experience with dogs, cats, small animals, lizards puppies and seniors including dispensing of medication. I’m retired and have a flexible schedule. I have a car to pick up and drop off to Fairhaven and neighboring towns and can make trips for pee breaks. My home is pet friendly with a fenced backyard for safe outdoor play and a finished basement to separate pets if needed. I’m also available for overnights in your home. Every animal in my care receives plenty of TLC, attention and compassion tailored to their individual needs

“Kristie is the best. We’ve hired her 3 times now (and have another planned) and I shudder to think what I’ll do if she’s not available. My cats are very wary of strangers. She seems to have charmed them. 😍”


About: Dogs and cats are better company than humans most days! I would love to hang out with your animals and keep them company. I’m a college student who misses her animals at home so I’ll be happy to spend as much time with your animals as you need. I have two dogs and two cats at home, and have always had animals in my home. I’m pretty comfortable with cleaning up after potty training accidents. My aunt had four Great Danes so I have experience around big dogs. No dog is too big or small for me! My last dog lived to 18 so I have experience with old pups, and puppies also. My schedule is open. During the fall and winter, I will have less time. Weekdays, during the morning and afternoon are open! As the fall and winter progress, I will update my schedule since I will be going back to school. My partner and I are currently renovating our home so our house is not open for care. I would be more comfortable with walking your furbaby, or caring for them at your home once we have met!

About: I’ve had many pets as a kid, I love the company of animals! Fun fact I am CPR and BLS certified, and I am a Certified Medical Assistant! Summer time is approaching so i am now free mostly everyday! mornings and noon time are perfect for me and my schedule at the moment!! I am a big sister so i’m always taking care of the young ones! I care for pets in anyway shape or form I can to ensure their comfortable!

“Thank you so much for taking such great care (and pictures) of our boy! It was reassuring to know that he was in excellent hands while we were away! We loved the updates!”

About: I’m new to the sitting world, however, I have pet sitted for family friends and neighbors. I’ve had dogs and cats of my own in all different sizes and ages.

I am available all summer and am only busy on Tuesdays. Safety and care is very important! I have two dogs of my own that have a fenced in yard and are fed high quality meals (which can be very expensive haha). Safety, food, water, and play help pets live a happy life!!


“Loved having Colleen watch our two cats over Christmas. It’s always stressful finding someone new to watch your pets and after meeting Colleen I was sure our cats would be in great hands! She even watered our Christmas tree! We look forward to using her again the next time we are out of town.???”


About: I have taken care of my family dog in many different capacities since I was 6 years old, and I enjoy walking, playing with, or just being active around all different kinds of dogs! I currently work at a middle school, so my summers, weekends, and afternoons are generally free! I also live in a pet-friendly home and a great spot for walks near the downtown New Bedford area. I make sure pets I’m taking care of can get a proper amount of attention and activity, so it feels like less of a scary change and more of a fun playdate.

About: i’ve had pets ever since I was 5 i’ve loved dogs for as long as i can remember. And animals never seem to have a problem, they get along with me just fine. I currently own a guinea pig and he’s my best little friend. I’m definitely getting a dog in the future. I’m lways available for some lovey time with your pet 🫶🏽 I am currently in college. but I am available around my classes because they are online classes that I can take in my own time.

There is also a dog park right next to my house, if you prefer to drop your dog we can go on a stroll to the park.

About: I’m a true animal lover who believes every pet deserves all the love, patience, and plenty of nose boops! Whether it’s slow walks with lots of sniff breaks or endless ear scratches just the way they like, I’m all about making your furry friend feel safe, happy, and loved. I know that every tail wag and whisker twitch matters, and I’ll always take the time to let your pup sniff every interesting corner or your kitty curl up in peace. With me, your pet gets a gentle, caring companion who treats them like family—because they are! As a kindergarten teacher with summers off, I have lots of free time and an even bigger heart—and what better way to spend it than caring for sweet fur-babies! I’m used to being patient, playful, and full of energy, and now that school’s out, I get to share all that love with your pets! My days are super flexible, so whether it’s a morning walk, midday cuddle, or evening playtime, I’m here to make tails wag and whiskers wiggle. Pet sitting is the perfect way for me to keep spreading kindness and care—even when the classroom is quiet. Your pet’s safety is my top priority—because when I care for your furry friend, I’m really caring for you too! I treat every pet like my own, with gentle hands, watchful eyes, and a heart full of love. Happy, safe pets mean happy, worry-free humans—and that’s the way it should be!

I love every and all kinds of animals and I genuinely enjoy playing with them and taking care of them and just being their friend in general while their family is away. I have every weekend off, so I could devote my time on the weekends in taking care of pets that need a temporary home. I currently work part-time and per diem, and even more time off in the summer, so I'll have plenty of time to care for and keep your babies company while you're away! I have a big yard and live on a dead-end street. Super friendly neighborhood! Your pet will never be home alone and will without a doubt receive the utmost care.

Leolani K.
“Leolani is a caring responsible young woman with a kind heart. She absolutely loves all animals and is incredibly thoughtful and attentive to the needs of others and animals. She has grown up around all different types of animals. Her home was never without a canine companion or two as well as a few cats. She has experience taking care of many types of animals including but not limited to dogs, cats, horses, bunnies & goats. I would trust her to take care of all of my pets in a heartbeat. I have a dog that is a rescue who was very timid when he first arrived in my home. Leolani formed a special relationship with my pup and he does not cower in fear as he has with so many others. Leolani would be a trustworthy caretaker for any animal.”

Kaitlyn’s positive attitude and kind nature make every interaction feel like you’re leaving your pet with a trusted friend, not just a sitter.

And my dog loves her too, always comfortable with her being in the house without us and she always makes sure to give him some love just because she understands animals so well :)”
