“Katherine took care of our cat while we were away for a little over a week, dropping by to feed her, handle the litter, and provide a bit of company. She always provided great photos and little update blurbs. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her if you’re looking for a reliable pet sitter!”
About: With my fiancé I own a mini dachshund, Rosie! I grew up with cats, and have loved both cats and dogs my whole life. Already a sitter for family and friends, and now you! For daycare/boarding, Rosie will be here at my home, so if your dog loves making friends we are a perfect match. Happy to have a meetup prior as well to have our pups meet. I work full time during the week, often from home, and am available for some evenings/overnights on weekdays. On weekends I am more flexible for walks and drop ins. I have an apartment with a couple of nice parks nearby and quiet streets for walks. Rosie also lives here (mini dachshund), so your dog must be comfortable with small dogs (and Rosie loves making friends!). Apartment best suited for small/medium dogs.

“We had Kerry cat sit our girl Spooky several times over a couple of years. Kerry is absolutely AMAZING. Spooky adores her and is so excited when she comes over. Kerry gives her so much love and attention and is SO helpful for us—she always gives such detailed reports with adorable pictures. We could not possibly feel more comfortable and secure when we go on vacation and know that Kerry is able to come see Spooky. Kerry is without a doubt the best pet sitter we’ve ever used (out of at least 5-10 or so) and I would recommend her without any reservations whatsoever. She’s the absolute best!”

“Awesome communication and took care of Charlie well. She helped clean up after Charlie threw up a hair ball while I was away and notified me straight away. Appreciate Hayley's drop in services and will book again in the future.”
About: I grew up on a farm in Indiana, taking care of horses to sheep, with dogs and cats. Living in Massachusetts I’ve helped raise over 5 Newfoundland dogs, and one 1 Bernese mountain dog. I also love cats and wish to have one in the future. I’m a marathoner, love the outdoors, and understand that it’s not the animals fault when things go wrong, it’s how the owner responds to it. Animals first, people second. I am flexible to the needs of my clients, but also their pets. Pets like schedules, and whatever works best for feeding, exercising, and just using the bathroom I’m flexible with. Like scheduling, I do not want to take the animal out of its routine, so sticking to a general list of what the animal/owner prefers for their pet. In my own experience, I believe in daily exercise, attention, and love. Just like people, pets need communication, support, and understanding.

At your home, I will be respectful of your space and the way you cater to your pet and their needs, I’ll leave it as I found it! I want to build a relationship to get to know you and your pet so everyone feels comfortable.
