About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats all my life and have my own dog who I treat like my child 🐶 She is the most important thing in my life! I have lots of experience caring for friends and neighbors animals - all different breeds, sizes, even animals with significant medical conditions. 🐾 With having my summers off, my schedule is flexible to come care for your pet whenever needed. Whether it’s early morning walks or evening strolls, I’m available 💕 I follow their routine closely to ensure comfort.I maintain feeding schedules, provide fresh water, offer regular walks or playtime, and give lots of love and attention. My goal is to make your pet feel safe and relaxed while you're away.

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! I’ve grown up with — and cared for — pets of all shapes and sizes, from dogs and cats to fish, birds, horses, rodents, and even reptiles. No matter who your furry (or scaly!) family member is, I’m excited to give them the same love and attention I give my own. Pet care is already a natural part of my day. I take care of my cat every morning and evening—making sure she has fresh water, the right amount of food, a clean litter box, and plenty of playtime. Since I’m already in a daily rhythm of caring for pets, adding walks or drop-ins fits easily and naturally into my routine. At home, my kitten is always the first one to greet me at the door, so I make sure she gets attention and reassurance right away. I keep her routine consistent—fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and lots of playtime and affection. When caring for a client’s pets, I’m very mindful of their established routines. I follow feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions exactly as given. I want every pet to feel comfortable and secure, so I do my best to maintain the rhythm they’re used to. Whether it’s my home or yours, my priority is making sure pets feel safe, understood, and well cared for.

About: I have always been an animal lover, and my job has shown me how to specially care for each and every special baby. Two years in veterinary medicine gave me the experience to confidently handle medications, diabetic care, and reactive pets. I adore even your misunderstood animals and would love to send lots of photos, videos, and updates on your pets if allowed! I currently work at a Pet Wellness Center, but my schedule is very flexible. My shifts are arranged to give me plenty of time to care for both my own pets and yours. In most cases, I can take time off if needed. I also finish work by 7 pm at the latest, so evenings are completely free if that’s what works best for you. When boarding pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where each animal feels at ease. I give plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles, and follow any specific routines or instructions from their owners. I also make sure they get proper meals, medication if needed, and regular bathroom breaks. I live in a very rural, quiet part of Bedford in the middle of the woods, so along with a large yard, we have many trails, with plenty of space to run or go on leashed walks! I love sending updates with photos or videos so you can see your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

About: Your pets will be safe with me and have such a great time they will be having a vacation themselves. I am a full-time teacher but my brother lives with me and works second shift. So you get two sitters for the price of one! I am also available to walk dogs after I get home in the evenings or all weekends/holidays. I have had cats and dogs since I can remember. I love caring for and connecting with all animals. At one time I took care of 3 day old kittens and nurtured them back to health. They grew into three beautiful cats. I have fostered and volunteered with the humane societies in my area because I believe all animals deserve to be loved. Making sure your pets are taken care of while you are away would be a rewarding opportunity. I would love to have the chance to care for your furry family member. Give me a chance to get to help you love on your pet.

About: I have had pets since I was a little girl. Started out with cats, and then when I was 9 I got my first dog. Ever since then I’ve had 5 dogs total, and around 10 cats since I was little as well. I am well versed on how to take care of both and my dog Shiloh has helped me a lot in this :) I am a counselor most days of the week but I have time in the morning and evenings most days and weekends I’m usually free. I’m here for most holidays and throughout the summer as well! I am willing and able to walk the doggos, feed them and give them water, let them out for potty breaks, brush them and wash them if needed, and taking them to the dog park is an option as well. I know how to care for cats in giving them space when needed and attention when needed, feeding and giving them water, and any other tasks I’m asked to do, as well as picking up poop.

About: Welcome to my page! My name is Tracy and I would love to take care of your pet. I grew up taking care of my pets, both cats and dogs, and I currently have a goldendoodle that I absolutely adore! I have also been entrusted to take care of my friend’s pets while they were away. From my experience, I know that no pet is the same. I get to know your pet and learn to care for them in a way that is unique and special to them! I currently work full-time during the week, but am available for boarding on the weekends and most holidays. I am also available evenings and weekends if your pet needs to have a potty break or go on a walk! For visits in your home, I prefer to meet prior to my initial visit to go over instructions and expectations and to have a meet and greet with your pet. For boarding in my home, your pet will be able to have full access to the house or they can be crated if that is what is preferred. I live in a great neighborhood for walking and I also have a screened in porch that is great for napping!

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was in preschool. My family has always had lots of pets throughout the house all through my childhood! I have lots of experience in giving baths, medicine, lots of cuddles and care! I will be sending plenty of pictures so you can see what your pet is up to at all times! I am currently working for myself while also working from home. This gives me all the time in the world to be just as attentive as you would be to your fur baby! I currently live in a nice neighborhood with plenty of grassy areas for potty breaks and open space for walks/jogs. My house is large enough to keep small dogs and larger dogs separated to ensure there are no accidents.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for over 3 years now. I can do various things including walking and bathing almost any dog. Taking care of dogs is my job and I love it! My work schedule is pretty flexible so I am able to do walks/drop ins pretty frequently throughout any day of the week. My best times would be before 12 and after 7 but I can typically do times in between as well with enough notice I would care for your pet in any way necessary by following any instructions you can give me. With my experience, I know how to keep dogs safe and happy!

Tia was an amazing sitter! She did a 30min drop-in for my energetic Labrador, Bo. She was more than willing to arrange a meet and greet beforehand and maintained communication both before and during the visit. Tia not only followed all of my instructions but also exceeded my expectations. She even played a game of fetch with Bo outdoors (which is his favorite game ever). She truly impressed me, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter. ?

Nettie was very responsive throughout the booking process and routinely kept us updated on Toby. We loved the pictures that she'd send daily. Toby seemed to really enjoy having her come and visit. Toby has some past medical issues and this was our first time using Rover so we were worried but that quickly went away the first day that she visited him.
