Cat Sitting Ashby

About: I have spent my entire life around animals so caring for them has always come naturally to me. I grew up in a household with over 40 animals, including dogs, cats, and exotic pets. I have spent years working in a small locally owned pet store in my home town taking care of exotics, before moving into kennel work at a vet’s office. I have experience in giving medications to dogs and cats in different methods, and monitoring their health afterwards. My primary role was offering our boarding pets the comfort of a home away from home. I’m a reptile dad every day, taking care of my own snake and bearded dragon babies. I’m currently home every day with time and love to give to other pets and their people who need an extra hand. I have a big room with a comfy bed that they can lay on in a nice couch that we can sit and watch shows on. I also have a fenced in yard outback that I can take them in to play, but I have a spacious cemetery up and across the street that is great for leash walks as well. I also have various toys and litter boxes as well.

About: Lifelong dog owner, active dog walker, and aspiring dog trainer. I have experience with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and energy levels and am passionate about canine behavior and enrichment. With over 10 years of animal welfare volunteering and experience caring for horses and farm animals, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and building trust with animals. Every walk is an opportunity to provide exercise, mental stimulation, and positive experiences for your dog. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I am active and enjoy spending time outdoors, so regular walks are already a part of my day. I have a flexible schedule and can provide dependable walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I understand that consistency is important for dogs, and I strive to be reliable, punctual, and communicative with every client. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. As a lifelong dog owner with experience caring for cats, horses, and farm animals, I understand the importance of reading animal body language and respecting each pet’s individual needs. I always follow owner instructions carefully, use secure leash handling practices, and provide plenty of positive attention during walks and visits. I’m currently working toward becoming a dog trainer, which has strengthened my understanding of canine behavior and safe handling techniques. You can trust that your pet will be treated with patience, kindness, and the same level of care I would give my own animals.

“Sarah was amazing with our dog Murphy, who is a 2 yo bullmastiff/boxer. She was always on time and spent a lot of time with him. We would highly recommend Sarah with your pets. She gave us daily updates and sent us pics. Murphy still misses her. We will definitely ask Sarah to watch Murphy again! Murphy is a high energy dog but very lovable, Sarah will be amazing with all pets We can’t thank her enough !”

“Emily was wonderful! She came over for a meet and greet before taking care of our three cats. I appreciated her taking the time to do that. She was extremely thorough and very communicative which I also appreciate it. She took great care of the cats and my house! She really went above and beyond. I appreciate her and definitely recommend hiring her.”

“Theresa took care of our dogs previously and we were glad she was able to help us out again. Corky really loved having Theresa stop in and hang out with him during the day. A much needed break in the middle of the day and a friendly/familiar face.”

About: I have had pets since I was 3 years old. I really started to get involved with pet care when I was a preteen. I have done pet sitting with my friends as well. I am going to college to study veterinary technology and am looking to get more hands on experience with dogs and cats! :) I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to watch your pets during the week! Monday-Friday I am available before 1:00pm and after 10:00pm. Saturdays I am free all day. Sundays I am available before 11:00am and after 8:00pm. I have a fenced in back yard and I can crate the dogs if needed. I have leashes and harnesses in my home. Everything in my home is pet proofed.

“Courtney did an awesome job caring for our 3 cats and 2 bunnies while we were away on vacation. Very professional and great attention to detail, we’re very appreciative!”

About: Having grown up around a diverse set of animals then adopting 2 dogs of my own in adulthood, I bring a thorough, well rounded background in pet care. I am single dad (kids live here part-time) who currently works a corporate 9-5 job full-time from my home office in Leominster, so I have a lot of flexibility during the work days during the week, and then my weekends are very open too around kids activities. I live in a pet-friendly apartment complex within a wooded area with land so this gives a good environment for comfortable interior space as well as walking pets outside.

About: I’ve been working for a company based out of Sudbury Ma for 5 years and I’m just looking for extra work :) I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, ages etc. I have worked with dogs of all temperaments as well. Would love to get to know your pet :) I work full time walking/ pet sitting for a company Monday - Friday and weekends for sitting. I’m looking to expand to some new clients! I could even bring your dog with me for the day on walks with other dogs if I’m sitting them and they would be up for it I can stay in someone’s home or have someone’s dog/ dogs stay in my home if they are friendly with other dogs as I do have my own dog

“Jeffrey is responsible, loving with dogs, punctual, and careful! I highly recommend him. We will definitely work together again.”

“Blaise did an awesome job with my dogs while I was out of town. They warmed up to him quickly, and he made sure they were taken care of which kept my mind at ease. Would definitely hire again :)”

About: I have had pets all my life and adore animals. I enjoy taking the time to play with the dogs, and giving them the love and attention that they need. The Townsend Rail Trail is right near my house, and I am able to enjoy multiple daily walks with my 4 year old Jack Russell Terrier, Loki, on that trail. At this time I are unable to accommodate dogs who are aggressive, or dogs who are not house trained. I currently work from Home, so I am able to devote plenty of time to ensuring that the dogs get plenty of love and attention throughout the day. My daughter also enjoy spending time with any dogs that I have at the house giving them extra love and attention throughout the day, always supervised and as appropriate with each dog. My yard is not fenced in, so a dog would be leashed to play in the yard, but I have a dog runs to enable the dogs to enjoy some time running freely in the grass each day. I am able to separate the dogs as needed and for feeding times to ensure that they remain stress free. We are able to accommodate crate training schedules as needed, our dog is only crate trained at night. We are home most of the time, but if we do leave the house we ensure that the dogs are not left alone for extended periods and we are able to seperate them safely while out of the house without crating them unless requested. We do have two cats, but as our dog does not get along with them we have them separated upstairs from the dogs and all pets are 100% safe. The dogs have free run of the downstairs and the cats have free run of the upstairs all day so that everyone remains safe and happy with no issues!

“This was my first time using a pet sitting service so I was pretty nervous. Bradleigh is super friendly and outgoing and made this experience stress free! I highly recommend Bradleigh and wouldn't hesitate to choose her again in the future.”

“I highly recommend Kayla G. My dogs are very spoiled and do not really like people who do not live in our house, but they love her. I have asked Kayla back a few times so I could go away on vacation and she was very communicative and took great care of them.”

“Sam's my favorite dog walker hands down - my boys always seems to really enjoy when they stop by to play and walk them. I'm always super sad when they're not available when I need them 😂”
