“Jill took care of our cats during a long weekend, making sure one of them got their meds everyday. She was reliable and completed reports with photos to make sure we knew they were being well taken care of. We would book with her again!”


About: Working at a lively doggy daycare, I care for up to 15 dogs at once, so nothing surprises me! Big, small, shy, or mischievous, I know how to keep dogs safe while having a blast! Your pup will get plenty of love, playtime, and cuddles, plus photo updates so you can see them in real time :) I work full time (about 35 hours a week) at a doggy daycare, so caring for animals is part of my everyday life. On workdays, I’m available around 11:30 AM–1:00 PM for walks, treats, and fresh water. I’m home again after work for the rest of the evening to give plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles. Weekends are my favorite, I’m home all day and fully available for boarding, sitting, and walks, so your pet gets round-the-clock love and care! In my home, pets have plenty of space, toys, and attention. I always supervise and will separate my cats if needed to keep everyone safe. For in client home visits, I follow your instructions, provide food, water, and cuddles, and send photo updates so you know your pet is happy and secure. I also don’t mind helping out with bringing in the mail, and or cleaning up a bit!

“This was my first time using Rover. If you happen to be considering someone in the area please do not look any further than Stephanie for your dog. She went above and beyond. She is very trustworthy and professional and even cleaned up the floors. I will be using her again and I can’t recommend her enough!!!”


About: I've always felt a special connection with animals- from encounters in the redwood forests of Northern California to the coastal sanctuaries of Maine, I’ve enjoyed absorbing and reflecting on the deep wisdoms held within the animal kingdom. In my own life, cats and dogs have helped illuminate the true nature of unconditional love and I’ve been lucky to journey with many animal companions. During times in my life where it has not been possible to own a pet, I’ve been grateful to have many opportunities to care for them. I’ve cared for several dogs long-term and lived with up to 3 cats at a time (please see testimonials) and always enjoy getting to know the unique personality and ways of each animal. My approach is gentle and my goal is nourishment, safety and support with whoever I get the chance to work with. As a recent graduate of acupuncture school, I hope someday to get to work with animals in a healing capacity. I'd be truly honored to care for your beloved pet. I recently finished a graduate program and presently have wide availability as I'm studying for and preparing for my boards and professional licensure before pursuing a job. As such, I have plenty of freedom to care for your pet as you desire. I'll care for your pets with compassion and attentiveness and honor whatever instructions and ways that you feel are best for your dog or cat. I've had experience crating, bathing, grooming, clipping, walking, running, playing etc.

About: Hi! I have lived with at least one dog my whole life (most of the time 3) as well as 2 cats. I have had a year of professionally working with dogs at a daycare/ boarding camp. I am capable of working with dogs of all ages, sizes, and feel comfortable taking care of dogs with most health issues. I have a beagle who has epilepsy, and 2 pitbull mixes currently. As someone who struggles finding adequate care for my dogs while I’m away, my goal is to make you feel calm and reassured your pets are in good hands! I will be starting college in the fall of ‘23 in Maine. I will have Wednesdays, most of Fridays, Weekends, some afternoons, and most evenings off. I am looking to do some work this summer to get in to the swing of things but I already have 2 jobs so I don’t want to be overloaded. My schedule is variable right now but I am available on weekends for the most part. As I am moving in to a dorm, I won’t be able to care for any pets in my residence but currently I take care of my pitties in full. They are my dogs so I bathe, walk, feed, dress, cut nails, cuddle, give scratches, and much more to fully provide for them.

About: I’ve been taking care of my own dogs since I was five. I love going on hikes and I have plenty of experience handling highly energetic dogs :) I love all dogs, big and small, and I am able to handle three large dogs at once! Currently I work part time and I am looking to fill my spare time with taking care of animals! I love being outside and playing with dogs so this is the perfect fit for me I know a lot of perfect pet-friendly trails that I’ve taken my own dogs on walks at, and I can calm down even the rowdiest of dogs :)

“5 STARS! I was so nervous to leave my bunnies at home and I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. She followed my directions and took great care of my pet bunnies. I will be using her again in the future and highly recommend her as a pet sitter !”


About: I have been overnight house sitting and providing pet care for dogs and cats for different families for the past three years. I’d love to continue to do so. Right now, I am free to dog sit everyday. I also babysit occasionally on weekdays and weekends. I will find time in my schedule to help families out. I am located in Franklin, MA and Amherst, MA. I have worked with relief foster for service dogs at UMass for the past two years. I love working on training or just getting to play with some animals. When I’m caring for your pet—whether it’s during a walk or while house-sitting—I treat your home and your furry friend with the utmost respect and care. I follow your instructions closely to maintain your pet’s routine and environment, keeping things familiar and stress-free. During walks, I use secure leashes and harnesses, avoid unsafe areas, and stay alert to ensure your pet’s safety at all times. For house-sitting, I keep your home tidy, lock up securely, and provide updates so you always know how things are going. Trust and transparency are key—I’m here to give you peace of mind while you’re away.


About: I have had my own dog for almost 5 yrs so I am a pro and have watched dogs of all breeds and ages. I have lots of energy and am happy to go on walks, play tug of war, fetch, or just stay in and cuddle. I am currently in PA school, so although not a vet I have experience with medications and medical care if needed. I am currently in PA school so my schedule changes frequently but often I only have part time commitments and am looking to hang out with some pups to fill my free time! My house is puppy proofed for my own dog and ready to go for any guests! I do not have a fenced in yard but go out often with dogs on leash. I have been responsible for kids and pets for almost 15 years and am a pro at this point!

About: I have had and cared for dogs for about 20 years since I was 10 years old. My fiancé and I adopted our golden retriever, Izzy in August of 2021. For 3 years I have been a volunteer at Forever Home Rescue in Medfield, caring for the dogs that are transported weekly up from the south to find their forever families. I have fostered about 15 dogs so far through the rescue and adopted one of my foster dogs (oops) named Pongo 🐶 I work a hybrid schedule currently and go into the office 2 to 3 days a week. I generally do not do week long boardings due to my work schedule, however it could be arranged depending on the week, so please still inquire! I have a fenced-in yard and two dogs, Izzy, a 3 year old Golden Retriever and Pongo, a 2 year old Lab/Weimaraner mix. They are both very sweet and happy pups who love and are used to having dog- guests (whether boarding or fosters). They go to daycare every Tuesday and are well socialized and good with sharing their toys/beds/treats/etc. Pongo can be weary/protective the first time he meets a new dog, especially if on a leash, but warms up quickly when he realizes they are friendly! Izzy and Pongo are both on the calmer side, and do best with dogs who will play/wrestle/run with them outside and then relax inside without constantly trying to play with them inside when they lounging. Your dog is free to nap and hangout on the couch, dog beds, or our bed. We have nylabones and toys out and about, and of course water bowls.

About: I always had dogs growing up, so I learned the responsibility of taking care of them at a young age. I’m excited to help with your pets when needed! I work from home 3 days a week and I have weekends off, so I have a ton of flexibility when it comes to making time to help. I’m a firm believer in doing things the way parents want them done. However you care for your pets is how I will care for them, to the best of my ability!
