House Sitting in Ayer

“Joy did a fabulous job taking care of our pets and our home. She communicated daily and sent photos. Our cats and dog were very happy and looked great when we returned home. Joy also took immaculate care of our home, which we truly appreciated. We will definitely ask Joy to come again in the future.”

“Brittany is simply AMAZING! Just before our trip our big boy was diagnosed with a CCL injury so we had to adjust his care. With one highly energetic dog and the other with a lane leg, that can be challenging. The boys were in great hands with her and she kept me updated on any issues he was having. Additionally she took great care for our home. I can’t speak highly enough about how great she is!”

“Megan did an awesome job taking care of our cat and dog for the weekend. She was a great communicator with us and home and pets looked perfect when we came home! Will love to use her again in the future.”

About: Soaking up all the kitty loving I can after a lifetime of not being allowed to have pets at home. I will care for your fur babies as my own and give them all the loving while you're away. I am currently a stay at home mom looking for things to do outside of the home while the kids are at school. I will love on your fur babies any time you need! We have one cat in our home that is friendly and curious about new furry friends and people too! She is out going and will take loving from anyone.

“Absolutely amazing ! It was a last minute booking as she accepted it even if there were only few hours in advance notice. She was incredible with my dog which unfortunately had an upset stomach that evening too. Extremely kind and caring. It was our first time leaving the puppy in someone’ else’s care and we couldn’t be happier. Absolutely we are going to hire Kaylee again!”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, and caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I have over 5 years of experience caring for animals through friends, family, and clients, and I previously volunteered with a dog rescue organization. Through these experiences, I’ve worked with dogs of different temperaments, energy levels, and behavioral needs. I have experience with puppies through senior dogs, including administering oral medications and supporting basic training and reinforcement. I also have hands-on experience working with leash manners, redirection, basic commands, and reading canine body language. I currently work full time in pet care and maintain a flexible schedule to accommodate client needs whenever possible. I intentionally organize my availability to provide reliable, consistent care and clear communication for each client and pet. I’m happy to coordinate timing in advance and do my best to accommodate different scheduling needs whenever possible. Please feel free to reach out to discuss your pet’s routine and care needs. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are always my top priority. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any specific routines to ensure consistency and comfort while you’re away. I’m attentive to behavior and body language, proactive about maintaining a safe environment, and committed to keeping pets physically secure and emotionally at ease. My goal is to provide dependable, thoughtful care so you can feel completely confident leaving your pet in my hands.

“Wendy was so wonderful with our Marshie, quickly learning his goofy/sassy behavior (and that he is a cuddler). She even dealt with a brief power outage at our home like a pro. Thank you, Wendy!”

About: I've owned and cared for animals since high school. In addition to dogs and cats, I've owned horses since I was 16. I have been\am a foster parent for the Animal Rescue League of Boston since 2020. I'm a former puppy foster for service dogs and participated with early puppy training. I have carried those skills over to training other foster puppies and my personal dog. I have a medical background (EMT) and my daughter is a Vet Tech so I am very comfortable working with animals with medical needs and will follow any required medical plan. In addition to dogs and cats, I'd love to meet\care for your backyard farm animals; horses, pot-bellied pigs, chickens, goats, sheep, etc. I have experience with some of these animals through ownership and fostering opportunities. I'm open to meeting and learning about new friends. We currently have 4 dogs, 4 cats, and 2 horses in our home. All our animals are our babies and I'll care for yours as if they were my own. I'm currently unemployed so I'll have plenty of time to spend with your pets. I'm available for petsitting any day of the week and can work around any personal appointments. Boarding in my home is restricted to cats or other small animals. Puppies (under 1 year) may be accomodated, no adult dogs. For cats; we have a dedicated "cat room" to keep your pet separated from our pets. The room has a screen door so they don't feel locked away and can be part of our household while remaining safe. I will follow your pet care plan while in your home. For Puppies; all dogs are fed separately to avoid food aggression situations. All puppies will be crated for meals and sleeping overnight. If your puppy is not crate trained, I will work with them to ensure they are comfortable and not afraid. I can support your potty training schedule to maintain consistency.

“Eric has been sitting my 3 y/o rescue Beagle, Walter, for a few months now, to help with his separation anxiety. Eric is great -- not only is he understanding and knowledgeable of Walter's special needs, such as his fear of men and new situations, among other things, he's made some very helpful suggestions that have helped with Walter's anxiety. He is trustworthy, kind and reliable, and I would highly recommend him to anyone; you can rest easy knowing your pets are under Eric's care.”

About: I have owned a cat and a dog. I watch or check in on my friends' and family's pets when they are away from vacation. I WFH fairly regularly so check-ins are really easy. House sitting is doable, but would need to coordinate times as i have some activities with my kid. Animals are all about routine and I don't like to rock the boat. However you take care of your pets is how i want to provide for them.

“Hannah was available last minute for an overnight stay when our original plans changed. She was able to squeeze in a meet and greet beforehand and put a lot of effort into helping our anxious dog feel comfortable. She sent updates throughout the stay and left our home clean and just how we left it. We would definitely use Hannah’s walking and pet-sitting services again!”

About: I’ve always loved animals and felt a special connection between them. I believe that every animal deserves the world and all the love! I have a dog of my own, who is my baby! Any time there is an animal I want to make friends and be where they are:) I am currently working full time, but have a lot more availability on Thursdays and Sundays. I am around Saturdays after 3. Depending on the pets needs, I can stay over and go to work from your home. I would love to play with your dog, take them for walks and adventures. I can feed them breakfast and dinner, and include treats. Definitely give them plenty of love as well!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 3 years and have experience with pets of different ages, sizes, and temperaments. I provide reliable feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and basic care while owners are away. I’m responsible, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether your pet needs an energetic walk, lots of playtime, or a calm companion, I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m a college student with a flexible summer schedule and plenty of time to devote to your pets. I’m available most weekday mornings and almost all weekends for drop-in visits, walks, and pet sitting. I’m reliable, responsive, and committed to making sure your pets receive the attention, exercise, and care they need while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medication, exercise, and routines. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, and I take the time to build trust with them. I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Jaylin did an awesome job taking care of my dogs and home while I was away. Highly recommend!!”

About: Aside from a love of all animals, I have just completed my first year of veterinary school and have previous veterinary assistant experience. I have extensive animal care experience from large to small animals including dog ownership and dogsitting experience! I am on break from school so I currently have a very open and flexible schedule for the summer apart from any previously planned travel or placements (for school)! I currently have no pets in my home so your animal will get my undivided attention! I have a number of conservation areas and walking trails that I love taking pets on as well as a yard.

“Sam went above and beyond for us! She was a fantastic communicator being sure to ask questions and send much appreciated updates. She even noticed our pups ear infection and sent samples to her vet to get addressed before we got home. We could not recommend Sam’s services enough!!”

About: I have two dogs, one small sized, and one medium/large sized, one I have had for about 5 years and the other we just adopted October of 2022. Before that I had a dog since I was born, so my whole life has been filled with dogs. I have such a passion and love for dogs and would love to get to know your puppy! I have dog sat for family members and friends before, and I would love nothing more than getting to dog sit and getting to love and nurture other dogs. I am very outgoing and love to sit outside and play with my dogs all the time. I will put all my time and effort in to each and every dog that gets put under my care. I would be so honored to take care of your beloved dogs! Im currently a student, but will have the summer off of classes so I will have plenty of time to spend time with your fur babies!! I have a fenced in backyard at my home and two very social dogs who would love playtime! At your home I could play with your dogs outside or take them for walks!

“Chloé was great, sent regular pics and updates as she cared for the big boy!!”

About: I’ve taken care of cats for over 20 years, and have experience dog sitting for several households. I have dogsat for three dogs at a time for two separate households, either to take them on a walk and feed them or stay in their home for several days. I have also cared for kittens and puppies. I typically work remotely Mon, Tues, and Fri so those are the best days for me to pop over to visit, or stay the day(s) with your pet. I am always aware of where the animal is and if there are any safety hazards such as open doors or fences, items the pet shouldn’t get into, etc. I want the animal to feel comfortable around me so I will not force interaction but rather let them warm up to me especially if I am in their home. I like clear detailed instructions when needed so I know exactly what you expect and the right way to handle your pet since you know them the best!

About: I love to work with animal, I’ve been in the veterinary profession for 10+ years. If your pet has special care instructions I will follow them perfectly. I have dogs, cats, and horses at home so I am very comfortable working with all sizes of animals. I also know how to care for birds, fish, guinea pigs, and hamsters and pigs. I know how much a pet can mean to someone so ill will care for yours as if they were my own I currently work 4 days a week. I am available Fridays to Sunday’s if you are looking for a weekend getaway or if you have a busy weekend and would like your dog to go for a walk I don’t offer in my home dog services but can offer cat or small animal boarding. You tell me home you’d like your pet cared for, weather it’s taking them for a walk or just letting them out in a fenced in area
