Pet Sitting Ballardvale

“Amazing! Second time using Tom and this time it was last minute! Sends great photos and gives us great updates on our crazy dog! Recommend if you need a sitter or dog walker!”

“Holly is easily a 5/5 dog walker! I would rate her a 6 out of 5 if I could. We needed a dog walker for a week that we'd be out of town, but we were nervous about hiring one for our 14-year-old Border Collie, Riker, since he can be a difficult handful even for us! My 83-year-old mother was able to take care of Riker's feeding but couldn't walk him. He has always been protective and defensive against strangers, but as he's gotten older and his vision and hearing has started to go, he's also prone to getting surprised and spooked. We were delighted to discover that Holly not only had experience with older dogs like Riker but also was able to put him at ease! Over the course of the week, Riker went from barking at Holly when she approached to coming to her for pets and treats and looking forward to her arrival. From day 1, Holly provided us with the most perfect, adorable photos of Riker we have ever seen, which is impressive because he's always been extremely camera shy and hard to photograph. If you're not sure if you should hire Holly, take it from the owner of an extremely fussy Border Collie: Holly is the best, and she will make sure your dog is cared for perfectly!”

“On time, flexible, responsive, attentive and patient with our dogs, especially our older pup who is slower to warm up to new people. Will hire him again!”

About: Pet sitting and dog walking have been a passion of mine for over fifteen years now. Growing up with pets my entire life stemmed my love for this job. Previously before taking on my own clients, I volunteered at an animal rescue center. I have experience with all types of animals including dogs, cats, farm animals, & exotic pets. I have been trained in animal behaviors, animal restraint, CPR, and obedience training skills. At my home, I own a Czech working line German Shepherd named Buddy and a domestic short hair cat named Loaf. Monday-Friday open availability.

About: Having grown up in a multi-pet household myself, I know first-hand the level of care and dedication that owning pets entails. I began petsitting when I was 12 years old, and have greatly enjoyed doing such in the years since. Friends, family, and neighbors have entrusted me on many occasions to take care of their pets. Aside from petsitting, I worked at a doggy daycare for nearly two years, where I built genuine and deeply meaningful bonds with all of the dogs in my care. I’ve worked with dogs of all shapes and sizes, temperaments, personalities, and energy levels. I have experience with training young puppies, including my own. I am very knowledgeable in reading animal body language and understanding animal behavior. I understand that every dog or cat is unique in their own way and that building trusting and meaningful relationships with animals take time and patience. With this, I try to meet every cat or dog where they are at and adjust my approach where necessary. For example, with shy or timid pets, I like to give them the space they need and work slowly to build trust and confidence to where they are fully comfortable in my presence. I am committed to making every visit a positive and enjoyable experience for everyone involved. I’m currently working part-time at the moment, so I’ll have plenty of time to play and care with your pet(s). The routine for each visit will depend on your pets’ needs, personality, temperament, and energy level. I will send pictures and updates of how your pet is doing by text throughout the day. I’ll make sure your pets have an positive and enjoyable experience, get plenty of play time/exercise, enrichment, and attention. Your pets’ safety is of utmost importance, and I’ll do everything in my power to make sure the environment is safe at all times. This could include but not limited to making sure to close or lock doors behind me, gating off rooms that are off-limit, crating your pet at night or when I leave, keeping things your pet may get to out of reach or locked away, following medication or feeding schedules, taking dogs’ out more frequently or at given times throughout day, being respectful of any allergies you, your household, or pet(s) may have. This will depend on you and your pets’ needs. As always, I’ll send updates and pictures throughout the day.

“Ann Marie was an amazing sitter for our two kitties! My first time using a sitter but she made the process seamless and gave us peace of mind. She even took time to take photos and give them treats. Couldn’t have asked for more and will definitely rebook next time we leave for vacation.”

About: ⸻ I have a soft spot for pets of all ages and needs! Over the years, I’ve cared for special needs cats and dogs, including those needing insulin injections or paraplegia support. I grew up with senior dogs—a sweet chow chow named Akeala (who lived to 16!) and two Scottish terriers, Abby (14) and Duncan (10)—so I understand the patience and extra love older pets need. I’m also experienced with reactive behavior and even farm animals. At home, I’m kept busy by my Bernedoodle, Ty, and my black cat, Raven. Because of them, I’m well-stocked with treats, toys, and enrichment activities. Whether your pet thrives on social time or prefers a quieter environment, I can make them feel comfortable and cared for. I also know all the best local dog parks and trails for safe, fun adventures. My 9-5 role is fully remote, which gives me some flexibility in my schedule. Availability may vary, so please feel free to check my calendar and reach out with any questions. I’m committed to giving your pet the very best care. Throughout the day, they’ll enjoy plenty of potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles. I’m happy to take them for walks, welcome them into my home for boarding, or provide companionship for a set period of time. While I rarely offer in-home house sitting at the owner’s residence, I’m always open to discussing your needs. Please share your pet’s favorite spots, routines, or activities ahead of time so I can make their stay as happy and comfortable as possible. I’m happy to accommodate special requests and tailor my care to suit your pet’s unique personality and needs.

“Rosemary is THE BEST. She gives great updates (and the cutest pictures!) while watching our cats and I feel at ease leaving town knowing she is taking amazing care of them. She truly goes above and beyond!”

About: Two decades means I’ve seen it all—and handled it with patience, expertise, and genuine love. I know the difference between a playful nip and anxiety, between a minor upset stomach and something that needs attention. I take time to learn your pet’s quirks, routines, and preferences.

You’ll receive regular photo updates and detailed notes about meals, walks, playtime, and bathroom breaks. You’re never left wondering how your furry family member is doing. I can schedule around being available for animals who need reliable, attentive care. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight stays, I prioritize each pet’s routine and comfort. In your home, I maintain your pet’s established routine to minimize stress—feeding schedules, favorite nap spots, and playtime rituals stay consistent. I provide fresh water, engaging activities, and plenty of affection. For walks, I match your dog’s energy level and preferences. I keep your home secure and tidy, and send regular photo updates so you can see your pet thriving. Whether it’s administering medication, accommodating special diets, or simply offering companionship, I treat every pet with the individualized attention they deserve while respecting your home.
