Pet Sitting in Athol

“Olivia was great. My cat was in very good hands. I had to book last minute for a family emergency and she was willing to work with me in a short period of time. She kept me updated and was great about paying loving attention to my pet. Next time I leave town, I will definitely try to book her again.”

“Erika was great to work with. She took great care of our fur babies and even sent me pictures of them when she stopped by. It gave me peace of mind when I was out of town.”

About: I’ve been passionate about caring for animals my whole life and have several years of hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Whether it’s long walks, playtime in the yard, or just some quiet cuddle time, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I’ve also cared for senior dogs with special needs, so I’m confident handling medications, special diets, and unique routines. Your pet will be treated like family with me! I am currently available most days of the week to take care of your furry friends I only can’t work on Tuesday's but can be flexible to rearrange my schedule if given enough time. I currently have only a very spoiled indoor bunny at my house so boarding at my house is unavailable but I am totally going to show you pictures of him. But I am the pet sitter for my family and friends so I’m use to the change of environments. So if your pet has cute quirks and unique schedule don’t worry I am totally on board. I understand having someone new enter your families environment is super hard but I am here to keep your furry friends safe and do things at your pace.

“Gee Gee was wonderful with my two cats, even my skittish boy!”

About: I grew up caring for animals, dogs, cats, horses, fish, cows, chickens, and a goat, having pets most of my life. My background is in healthcare while in the military. I have been my father's caregiver which allowed me to help foster puppy litters to adult dogs and care for a pack of 8 dogs-4 of which are mine while caring for him. I can now enjoy caring for other's fur babies giving them love and support. I am interested in always learning about animal behavior and all aspects of their care. I have been my father's caregiver but sadly he passed at the age of 94 and would enjoy caring for other's fur babies giving them love and support. I have an open schedule that is veryflexible. I am blessed to have my son's help caring for our dogs, allowing me to provide in-home and overnight care if needed. The number one goal is to adapt personalized routines for your pets so they are happy and healthy.

About: I’ve lived on a farm my whole life. We mainly have Angora goats, chickens, ducks, and guardian dogs. However, we’ve also had the occasional sheep, dairy goat, guinea hen and even a llama. In the house we have a Vizsla, four cats, and salt water fish. In the past I have also had a gecko and a hedgehog. I am available from 11am to 2pm and after 5pm. My weekend availability varies as I have tournaments most weekends, but I am usually available all day on Sundays. I also am available full time during holiday breaks. I do not offer care at my house because I don’t want to risk any problems with my pets, but I am happy to come to your house or take your pets for walks!

About: I’ve had animals my whole life! I would volunteer at my aunt's clinic during summer/ winter! I would also watch my sisters big/ small dogs all year-round while in school. I am back home from college and looking for side gigs especially with dogs along with my other job! They add extra happiness and fulfill my every week. when around dogs I will not take my eye off them! I will always listen to the instructions given by the owner.

About: As a passionate pet sitter, I prioritize your pet's happiness, safety, and comfort as if they were my own. I bring exceptional care and attention to detail, ensuring their unique needs are met—whether it's sticking to a feeding routine, administering medication, or providing plenty of playtime and affection. With my strong communication skills, you'll enjoy peace of mind with regular updates, including photos and detailed notes about your furry friend's day. I go above and beyond to create a stress-free experience for both you and your pet, so you can feel confident that they are in loving, capable hands. I currently work from home, which makes it easy to housesit and provide your pets with all the care they need. Because I work from my desk, getting to get up and take your dog for walks or just have a play with your cats is my favorite way to destress! When it comes to caring for pets in my clients' homes, safety, trust, and creating the right environment are paramount. Firstly, I prioritize understanding the specific needs and routines of each pet entrusted to my care. This ensures a seamless transition and minimizes any stress or anxiety they may experience while their owners are away. In terms of safety, I meticulously inspect the home environment to identify and mitigate any potential hazards. This includes securing doors and windows, removing toxic plants or substances, and ensuring that any potentially dangerous items are safely stored away. Trust is the foundation of my relationship with both the pets and their owners. I communicate openly and transparently, providing regular updates and being responsive to any concerns or special requests. I strive to build a bond of trust with each pet, taking the time to understand their unique personalities and preferences. Creating a comfortable and stimulating environment is essential for the well-being of the pets in my care. I maintain their regular feeding and exercise schedules, engage them in play and enrichment activities, and provide plenty of love and attention. Whether it's cuddle time on the couch or exploring the backyard together, I aim to make each pet feel safe, happy, and loved in their own home.

About: I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by animals, from dogs and cats to just about every creature you’d find on a ranch. That upbringing gave me a natural understanding of different personalities and needs, and a deep love for them all. I’m comfortable caring for pets who need extra attention, whether that’s administering medication, supporting a disability, or helping a shy or nervous animal feel safe. My gentle, quiet nature helps animals relax and settle in, so they can truly feel at home while you’re away. As a work-from-home freelancer, my schedule is wide open, giving me the flexibility to care for your pets whenever they need me, day or night. I have a big, fully fenced backyard, including an amazing dog run in case they need some alone time or need to be away from others. I also have an open home with plenty of room to take long naps in the sun.

I've always had cats and dogs growing up. As I got older I wanted to teach my dogs tricks. My second dog I ever had was in middle school and he was a Labrador retriever and I taught him how to shake. I always loved animals growing up even into my teens and young adult years. When I moved out I had gotten my first dog as a young adult, a husky named Blue, I taught him sit, stay, lay down, kennel time, speak etc. Then in the last couple years I got a English Cream Golden Retriever named Zeus, he is 2 years old and I started him on formal training when he was 12 weeks old, and on the side I taught him shake, speak, spin. He has passed the Canine Good Citizen Program at the age of 9 months old. I plan on continuing his training. I always am learning more about how to take care of animals and what is the best for them!
