House Sitting in Bourne

About: Life long animal lover looking for some extra furry snuggles. Let me take care of your baby! I am located in the Forestdale area of Sandwich. I do have one dog of my own a very sweet and energetic Australian cattle dog and shepherd mix named Scottie. He is friendly with most dogs, as long as they are friendly in return. I take care of both dogs & cats. I am comfortable with small, medium and large size dogs. I have had cats, a bunny and a family dog growing up so I am used to being around lots of animals. I am also experienced with senior dogs as well as medication administration. I also have experience with e-collar training if that is something you wish to work on with your dog. I recently stepped away from my full time job so my availability is very open. Please reach out to me and let me know about you and your pets needs. I look forward to meeting and getting to know you both! I recently stepped away from my full time job in the culinary industry so my schedule is quite open and flexible. I have AM & PM availability. I have a dog of my own and have had multiple family pets over the years. I have always struggled with trustworthy and reliable pet care so it is my goal to provide exactly that for you.

“Jenn was a delight! She was super responsive, a clear communicator, sent us fun pics of our bernedoodle, and left the house spotless! Plus she’s got upbeat and clearly loves animals!”

“Brooke housesat our dog and cat, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! She was an excellent communicator, sending lots of updates and photos throughout the stay. Our dog Bubbles and cat Mittens absolutely loved her, and she made them feel comfortable and cared for. Brooke is hands down the best Rover sitter we’ve ever had, and we highly recommend her services to anyone!”

“Gail is a superstar! I needed to find a dog sitter at the last minute and had never used Rover before. Gail responded right away and made a plan to meet me and my pup right away to confirm it was a fit. Gail did a fantastic job watching Rocky! She sent me updates and I never had to think or worry about how things were going at home during our trip. I will absolutely use Gail again and cannot recommend her enough.”

“Our two Pups (Misty and Maiden) were so well cared for and enjoyed the time they spent with Ashley! We returned from vacation and the house was spotless, the pups happy and energized. I would recommend Ashley for house sitting.”

Maggie D.

“Lily is absolutely amazing. She watched our 8 month rottweiler pup for 3 days. He's very energetic and still learning, she helped with training and longs walks and was very patient and kind with him. We received updates a few times a day and always felt he was being well taken care of, highly recommend. He was sad to see her leave. She will be the one we call if we have to leave town again or even for a walk session.”

Nancy K.

“Made it home--Chase was incredibly calm and relaxed. The house is in great shape. Jared and Tanya, you are both truly wonderful. Thank you so much. When it's a dire, last minute situation like that, I typically just prepare myself to "take what I can get" in regards to quality of sitter. It's been really great having exceptional service despite the frantic circumstances. Cheers!”

Alexis C.

“Kaitlyn did great with our pups! I definitely appreciated the pictures she sent and that she was willing to come meet the pups before the sitting!”

Kaylee B.

“Ashley was amazing! She watched our girl Nala for the long weekend so we could travel back home. She not only took Nala on multiple walks a day and gave her lots of enrichment, she also came back for an extra walk the last day when our plane was getting in later. She left the house in perfect condition and our dog seems so content !”

About: I have been a devoted pet owner and caregiver for over 30 years. My home is currently a lively environment with five dogs and two cats, so I am very comfortable managing multi-pet households. For the past 15 years, I have also been a professional dog breeder, which has given me deep insight into canine behavior, health, and development from birth through adulthood. I have a particular expertise in working with large and powerful breeds; as the owner of a Cane Corso, I understand the strength and temperament required to handle big dogs safely and confidently. I am also experienced in managing dogs with aggressive or reactive tendencies, ensuring a calm and structured environment for every animal in my care. Whether your pet is a tiny kitten or a 100-pound guardian breed, they will be treated with the same expert care and affection I give my own. I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate my full attention to your pets. While I work as a bartender Monday through Friday from 4:00 PM to 10:00 PM, I am completely free outside of those hours. Additionally, because my own pets are cared for by other family members in my home, your pet will be my sole priority during our time together. I am available for morning and afternoon walks, playtime, and check-ins to ensure your pet stays happy and on their routine. Safety and structure are my top priorities. In my home, I maintain a highly organized environment to ensure every pet feels secure. I use a combination of leashed exercise and off-leash play in secure areas, depending on each dog’s individual recall and temperament. To maintain a calm household, I utilize crating when I am not home to prevent any 'mischief' and ensure everyone stays safe. I am also highly experienced in proper introductions; for instance, I have a specific, controlled process for introducing new people to my Cane Corso to ensure a positive and safe experience for everyone involved. Hygiene is equally important to me, so litter boxes are scooped daily and common areas are kept tidy. Whether in my home or yours, I follow your specific safety protocols to the letter.

About: I have owned a female Belgian Shepherd mix as a child and she was so intelligent that she won multiple ribbons in local skills competitions. I also owned 2 female Saint Bernards (littermates) who I formally trained as pups. They were extremely sweet and gentle especially with my 3 newborn babies as they came home for the first time. I have done dog walking and sitting for several friends, some who had other animals in the home. I enjoy spending time with animals who give me so much joy. In addition to owning dogs and cats, I have also raised domestic rabbits for 15 years and loved the entire experience of bringing new life into the world. We also have a western hognose snake named Remi and she is really great! My children and many of their friends have enjoyed handling her as she is so calm. Other pets we have had over the years include a bearded dragon named Raja, a rat named Tori and several hamsters and fish. Currently I have an open availability schedule but in future I will have part time jobs that will allow me to fit in pet care when I'm available. I look forward to spending time doing what I love! Currently I have 2 young cats, one domestic rabbit and a snake. Each one gets the best care including feeding, grooming, cleaning litter pans and cages. I would do the same for any clients according to their needs and schedules. Dogs would be walked and played with throughout the day or time of care. The home environment is safe and conducive to accommodating animals.

“Emma Was great with Beau!!!!!!!!!!”

“Elizabeth was great! She stopped by to take care of the dogs while I was gone for the weekend. She kept me up to date on how they were doing, played with them, walked them, and made sure they had food and water. Would absolutely recommend Elizabeth if you need a reliable sitter!”

About: Reliable, clean and active. I am an absolute animal lover and have been blessed to have watched, walked and cared for many beautiful dogs and cats over the last 15 years. I have good energy and can provide care and love for even the most spunky pets. I am a flight attendant and have extended periods of time off while I'm home. I also have a great deal of flexibility in my schedule and can take time off to accommodate long stays. Love! Play, exercise and attention are a must. Gentle discipline if needed and cleanup. I'm happy to brush and wash the pets as well for an additional fee. Whatever the animal needs I'm happy to give them my full attention.

About: I have 3 years of experience of taking care of dogs including feeding, walking and playing! I have had my dog for almost 10 years and have learned some skills in training. I work 8-hour work days Mon-Fri. I get an hour for lunch so I can walk your dog at least 3 times a day! Can take your pet on adventures (hikes, dog park, etc) on weekends! At my home, I have an energetic dog who would be a great playmate to your furry friend! At clients home, I will follow any rules/restrictions that are required and will keep your furry friend in good company!

“Olivia was the perfect doggie sitter! We will definitely have her back again and again! Thank you Liv!”

Dana H.

“Kathleen is an absolute gem! Our elderly Maltese dogs had never had a stranger as a sitter but we found ourselves with no one to watch them and we wanted to visit our new grandchild in Colorado. From the moment we met her at a 'meet and greet' we found her to be friendly, caring and experienced. We booked her for 5 days to stay at our home and it was the best decision! Our dogs, being older , have their quirks but Kathleen made us feel comfortable about leaving them. She sent us daily photos and videos telling us how well they were doing. I felt at ease and confident she would do her very best to care for them-- and she did. It was just like having a family member care for our dogs. Our house was immaculate when we returned and we couldn't be happier with the entire experience!”

Karen L.

“So happy Grace watched my Nala girl! She took such good care of her, gave me updates/sent pics, and kept the house super tidy. Will definitely use her again!”

Shana G.

“Our dog was very excited when Sam arrived! We appreciate Sam’s energy and attention to care of our pets. He was also very responsive in communications, and responsible in his cate of our home. We will definitely seek out Sam as a house and pet sitter again!”

About: I have had dogs my entire life and they are truly the best thing to ever happen to me. I am often called upon to dogsit when family & friends go out of town, I have lots of experience house/dog sitting and when the owners return they always are impressed with how their dog and home were taken care of. I have a rescue dog named Finley who is my whole world so you can rest assured I will treat your dog as my own and spoil them with lots of cuddles and belly rubs. I’m a teacher so weekends I’m always free and am usually always with my dog. I’m available most afternoons for drop in visits or to take your dog for a walk. Summers are also a time when I am completely free and would love to be able to care for your dog(s) while you enjoy a summer vacation! I have a fenced in backyard and a very friendly hound mix dog to keep your dog company. She loves to play and wants to be friends with every dog we meet. I can also easily crate your dog if needed.
