Dog Sitting Barnstable

About: I have extensive experience working with dogs of all sizes. Growing up, my family had large dogs (90+ pounds) for almost all of my life. I have watched and pet-sat for dogs of all sizes in the past few years for neighbors and friends. I’ve recently moved back to the Massachusetts area after a travel-heavy job for the past few years, so no fur babies of my own yet! I look forward to re-exploring some of the wonderful walking trails the Cape offers with your furry friends! I’m currently working as a server part-time, so have plenty of time to play with, walk, and feed your dogs/cats. I am available for boarding or pet-sitting in your home most weeks, and for walks nearly every evening, plus morning and afternoon shifts every Tuesday and Wednesday. I have a large backyard and walking trails within a 10-minute walk from my house, perfect for leashed adventures! I do not have any pets in the house full-time, but may have my parent’s well-trained and friendly rescue in the house on occasional weekends.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 11 years old. Friends and neighbors have relied on me to walk, feed, and care for their pets while away. This includes dogs, cats, and birds! I have experience raising 3 Brittanys throughout my life as well as 1 pig. I have administered medications to multiple pets throughout my time pet sitting. I am available Monday through Thursdays. Whether you need early mornings or late night walks or visits. I am currently dog walking/ pet sitting on the side right now. Safety is always my top priority. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior, monitor for any signs of illness or stress, and follow all instructions provided by the owner. I treat every home with respect and provide regular updates, photos, and communication so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are well cared for.

About: Hi there! I'm Ellyn. I have a magnetic, intuitive connection with animals that seems to form the moment we meet. During a recent backpacking trip in the Grayson Highlands, I had an experience that perfectly illustrates this: a fellow hiker’s black lab approached me with such immediate, heartfelt recognition that the owner was completely taken aback. It felt as though we were long-lost companions reuniting. She came rushing to me, whining and crying with pure joy, and when I came down to her level, she immediately laid on me, whimpering and cuddling. 🥹 This is the energy I bring to every interaction. While I began my journey as a pet sitter years ago while living in California, I am now returning to this work with a deeper perspective. For my canine friends: I am a big believer in the power of a 'sniffari.' I love taking dogs on walks where they set the pace, allowing them to explore and sniff to their heart's content. I believe this is the most mentally enriching and effective way for a dog to walk, and I am always happy to facilitate that. For my feline friends: I am a true cat lover at heart! I understand that cats require a subtle, patient approach. I’m excellent at reading feline body language and providing the kind of quiet, respectful companionship that makes cats feel secure and relaxed. Why you can trust me with your pets: Beyond my natural rapport with animals, my professional background as a Registered Nurse and my practice as an energy medicine practitioner mean that I am observant, responsible, and highly attuned to the non-verbal needs of those in my care. I bring a professional level of health-conscious care to pet sitting. I am comfortable with: -Administering medications as prescribed. -Managing specialized feeding schedules or dietary requirements. -Tracking and reporting on any health symptoms or behavioral changes. Whether your pet needs active outdoor time or a calm, quiet presence at home, I am dedicated to providing reliable, compassionate care. I would love to meet your companions and see how we connect! I currently work part time 3-4 evenings a week so have lots of time to care for long sniffy walks or quality time playing/snuggling with your pets! Trusted background as a registered nurse, willing to follow the schedule/flow you keep at your house. Am able to crate and take to appointments, as needed.

“Emily was fantastic! She was communicative, kind, and took such great care of our cat. She went above and beyond to make sure we came home to a fully clean litter box, too! I'm so glad we found someone we can fully trust with our kitty. And on top of all that, she also takes great pictures! Truly so grateful for everything she did ❤️”

About: I strictly follow your dog’s personal and walking routines to prevent any anxiety, while sending frequent photo updates so you can travel completely worry free. Working from home allows me to easily blend my day with your dog’s needs, offering frequent play and potty breaks and endless cuddles while working. By staying at your place, I minimize your dog’s anxiety. I provide dedicated overnight care, plenty of playtime, and frequent updates so you feel connected.

About: I’ve had my own dogs my entire life and have taken care of other family members/neighbors dogs and cats while they are away. I love to go for walks and always enjoy taking a dog along with me! I work full time during the week 830-430 with a lunch break which I could run out if needed. I am always free on the weekends, and I usually do spend time on the weekends going on long walks. I am not necessarily looking to take dogs to my home but I am capable of caring for them in your home like you normally do.

About: I’ve taken care and walked dogs since I was around 12 and I have also taken on foster kittens since I was 10. I have also had neighbors rely on me to check and take their pets out when away on vacations. I currently work part time at PetSmart taking care of all the animals within the building including fish, reptiles, birds and small animals while also interacting with dogs daily and even assisting in practicing basic training skills. (Sit, stay, down) I can crate dogs if necessary as well as work on basic training skills for younger dogs. I can also walk dogs around your neighborhood or take them on a walk throughout the trails around Barnstable.

About: Hello! My name is Brianna, and I grew up having dogs and cats all my life. I would love to be able to help someone out by taking care of their beloved pet. I am an athletic and energetic person, so going on walks/runs is always my favorite! I also love staying indoors to play and give affection. I had a 13 year old rescue pitbull, as well as experience fostering puppies! I love them all. I currently work part time, so my schedule is flexible. I would love to incorporate more pet care into my weekdays. I also have some dog lovers at home that would love an extra part-time furry companion. I am a responsible pet owner that would care for someones pet with as much love as my own. I can crate a dog if a crate is provided.

About: Hi! I am a very reliable, positive, and energetic individual with over 13 years of experience in caring for a dog. I have had two family-owned dogs, both being Golden Retrievers. My last Golden Retriever was diabetic for the last three years of his life so I am experienced in providing an animal insulin. I also have had the experience of caring for friend's dogs whether that be staying the night with them, feeding, playing, or walking them, I have done it all! I welcome the opportunity to speak with you regarding you and your dog's needs :) I am currently doing freelance work so my schedule is very flexible, I can work my schedule around what your needs are and when you need for me to take care of your furry best friend. I have a dog park walking distance from where I live, I also live with someone who is just a big of a dog lover as I am.

About: I've taken care of my family's and friend's dogs since I was 15, but more so in the last 3 years. I especially love to get them good exercise through playing fetch and chase with them, and turning walks into runs. Of course if dog is unable to exercise I'm also great at keeping things more their pace and ensuring their safety. I'm around and ready to help every day starting at 9:30am. Since my schedule is wide open from mid-morning through the evening, I'm super filexible with timing, whether you need a consistent midday walker or a last-minute drop-in for those days you're running late. Just let me know what time works best for your pet's routine! Safety and trust are my top priorities, and I am committed to maintaining a secure environment for your pet during every visit. I perform thorough safety sweeps, double check that all doors and gates are securely locked and strictly follow your specific home entry and care instructions. On our outings, I practice a "safety first" approach by staying alert to our surroundings, avoiding unpredictable interactions with unknown dogs, and ensuring all gear is properly fitted. You can expect detailed updates and photos after every session, giving you total peace of mind that your pet and home are in responsible, caring hands.

I felt so at ease while I was away, she cared for my 8 year old cat Poppy. excellent communication & always provided very thorough report cards of her visits. she gave my cat a lot of attention & care! I could tell that Poppy was at ease when I returned & everything was very clean when I arrived home which I appreciate. I would book again.”

About: I grew up always having a dog and other pets in our home. I absolutely love animals! When I was 19 I got my first dog on my own, Kyla she was a yellow lab and the love of my life. I currently have 2 Belgian Malinois- Cali and Bruin. I've worked training with them and another German Shepherd. I've also volunteered with MSPCA in the past. I would love to help in any way needed to keep your four legged friend happy and safe. I am experienced in many different breeds of dogs. Whether it's puppies or elderly dogs I have experience with both and I always care for them as I do my own! Walking, running, playing, feeding, brushing, cleanup or even belly rubs! I love caring for animals! :) I am currently working part-time as a PCA, doing in home private care. Prior, I was full-time for 10 years with a woman who suffered a TBI. I am very flexible with my daily schedule as I can move my work hours around to fit my dog's clients needs. I don't bring dog's I am caring for to my house, as mine get too worked up! I can care for pet's in their home/yard and walk them from there. I also take some dogs to different trails, hikes, and dog parks. All up to the owner's preference! I am happy to do what works best :)
