Pet Sitting in Concord

“Haley was amazing at taking care of our two cats! She followed their feeding and care instructions exactly. After every visit she shared updates on how the cats were doing with lots of adorable photos. We’d recommend her if you’re looking for a cat sitter!”

About: As most people on here, I'm one of those people who loves getting to know the non-verbal communication between humans and animals. They say so much with body language and their eyes, ears, tails and mouths. I think it's amazing. My goal is to get that light out of them. The light in their eyes. I want them to feel confident and protected. And, want them to know if they want fun, I'm in too. I have a 15 year old rescue Border-Collie Beagle mix with my partner. I helped her personality come out through trust, learning new things and building her confident in me so she could trust the world more too. I started working with her in 2021. Rosie is my partner's dog. She's 12. She used to be reactive. I was able to build her confidence. She did have a lot of stuggles and works a lot together. Now she isn't reactive. She has many eye drops and arthristis things to deal with. Our focus with her is to keep her experiences hapoy and diverse. In September 2023 to April 2024 I was helping out a professional dog walker. We did pack integration, reactive or skiddish dog integration and confidence building work. And we did fun dog park runs. I worked with him with his clients dogs, and I also had him teach me specific fearful dog training by working with my mother's dog who would cowar and bark exsessively at anyone that wasn't her parents. She is now confident off-leash woth my dogs and listens to come commands. She is also able to go to the dog park and run her zoomies. Something she didn't have the confidence to do before especially with non-mommy and daddy around. Lastly, my ex and I had a Toy Australian Shephard together. I helped for the first few months on puppy care once every 3 weeks for a week. (We were in different countries). And then I was with her all daytime by myself for 4-5 months straight. We did crate training, poaitive reinforcement, and so many games, tricks, and learnjng to keep that mind going. Positive reinforcement is my go-to. It isn't helpful with all dogs however. My positibe reinforcement is my starting point because it can built trust with enjoy fastest. I work from home. Leica is a rescue dog, and my home is her "place." She stays with my partner when I am dog-sitting. I prefer to spend multiple days with the pups I care for because it allows us to form a genuine relationship, rather than something superficial. It can be stressful for animals when their owners disappear. I appreciate having the flexibility for at-home support since I have the freedom to work my own hours while supporting small businesses and the tech industry. For my dog, she gets fed as soon as I wake up and then at 5 PM every day. The timing is important because she is restricted from food, and it stresses her out not knowing when to expect meals, so I maintain a consistent schedule. We walk twice a day for between 20 and 60 minutes each time. She has a couple of designated spots that are "hers only" because the Boston Terrier tends to bully the bigger dog (Leica), so we have established a few firm rules regarding the beds. Leica is uninterested in chewing many things. Her preference is for food items, and we take extra care to provide edible bones that are soft enough not to hurt her teeth. Additionally, I spend a considerable amount of time ensuring that the treats and food she receives do not harm her teeth or negatively impact her digestion. Since she has had pancreatitis, I also monitor the fat content of her treats and food closely. We engage in enrichment activities like hiding kibbles in towels, using puzzle toys, and teaching tricks. We have a few buttons that allow for communication, and we try various activities to keep the Border Collie’s mind engaged and the Beagle stimulated. For other dogs, I make an effort to learn from their parents about their favorite toys to figure out how to best play with them. If possible, I take them to an enclosed off-leash area to play chase, which helps gauge their comfort level with me and allows me to encourage their playful instincts. Building trust is essential. I also observe if they are ready to take treats from me, and I incorporate tricks to enhance our interactions. For pups that are more fearful, this provides valuable insight into their comfort zone and how much space they need. Beyond that, maintaining consistent feeding times, regular walks, and the type of play they enjoy will always form my foundation for care. For cats, I like to learn from the owner a bit about the cat's personality. Some cats may be affectionate one moment and then switch to distain and attacking the next, while others can be very cuddly. During housesitting, my goal is to ensure that the cat is happy with someone there to care for their food and general needs. If they want anything else, such as string toys or catnip play, I’m happy to provide that, given that the owners are okay with it.

“Crystal did an excellent job of looking after my mom’s cat Molly. She showed up every day and went above and beyond to give extra care for Molly. I would recommend hiring Crystal to look after your pet. I’m very happy with the service.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for many years. Family, friends and neighbours have relied on me to care for, exercise and socialize with their pups. Their dogs are their children and they would not leave them with anyone they didn’t trust. Playtime, walks and time in the park are all part of the routine as well as giving medicines, feeding and light grooming. I work part time but my hours are flexible. I’ll have plenty of time to care for and play with your dogs and see to daily walks. I have a fenced in yard and a park nearby that I can take them to on leash. I live in a house in a residential neighborhood with well marked streets and I know the area well.

“Of course! Here's a review you can leave for your dog sitter, Bella: I had a last-minute situation where I needed someone to watch my dog, and Hannah came to the rescue! She was incredibly accommodating and took great care of my furry friend. I'm so grateful that she was able to help out on such short notice. I highly recommend Bella as a reliable and caring dog sitter!”

About: The fact that both my wife and me do it as core dog lovers and share special bond with them . Once you have us, you have us for a lifetime and so do your furkids. Their care seamless integrates into our lives coz after walking 2 steps from our beds, we let them loose in the backyard to relieve themselves or take them for walks so they are exhausted and are hungry. A tired dog is a happy dog; we always keep that in mind and check for some play sessions throughout the day whenever they need it and keep rewarding them with treats what they have in their bags. Apart from the usual routines that are supposed to be followed with them , as told to us by their pet parents , depending on the pet , we ensure they have access to fresh water and place to rest all the time. We have offered our own chesterfield (sofa) exclusively for them where they can comfortably climb and rest and descend down and sit on the floor too if they want to change their place anytime. We try to do a quick brush up too if they need one and ensure their water and food bowls are cleaned regularly

“Ruhani was great at taking care of Beans and Toast. She made sure that each cat was ok and followed all tasks for taking care of them. She also spent time with the cats and gave them treats with lots of update pictures. Toast is usually a very anxious boy and doesn't like new strangers but he came out to Ruhani right away! Would definitely recommend her services.”

About: I have had pets since I was 12 years old, all kinds of dogs, cats, even a horse, I had already worked in this environment and it has been incredible for me, I really enjoy spending time with animals. I usually like to walk in parks, high park is my favorite, I like to go and read a little, sometimes I'm just going for a run, I also like walking around downtown just watching and going to shops, I would really like to have a companion. I like to take care of them in the aspect that they need to go out to take a breath, they need to run, just as people, animals need their space and their time of day when they de-stress. I love bathe them, feed them and of course moisturize them, I am very careful with animals, I like to take care of them and love them as if they were mine.

“I am so grateful I found Damini. From the very start, she was reliable, trustworthy, and just a genuinely kind person. She went above and beyond during the 9 days she cared for my cats, and I always felt at ease knowing they (and my home) were in such good hands. What really stood out was how much she cares. She wasn’t just “doing a job”, she was thoughtful, attentive, and even offered to help with more than just cat sitting. She was kind to my parents and she gave me regular updates that were detailed and reassuring. Her communication was excellent, and I could tell she has a lot of experience and a true love for animals. The biggest surprise was my cat Booboo, who normally doesn’t warm up to people, actually liking her! That alone speaks volumes. I would wholeheartedly recommend Damini to anyone looking for a pet sitter. She’s not only trustworthy and responsible, but also compassionate and genuine. People like her are rare to find, and I feel so lucky that she was the one caring for my cats.”

“Hazel is almost 13 and this was the first time I have used a dog walking service. I was nervous. I felt better immediately when I met Ali for the "meet and greet". I was out for a long day yesterday and Ali came twice to walk and feed and visit with Hazel. I got messages and photos after each visit and came home to a happy dog. I am very pleased with Ali and hope to continue long term with his services.”
