About: Hi! I grew up with dogs & cats throughout my childhood and then got a dog of my own during COVID. Due to a breakup, I no longer have my dog & have been chasing to get puppy snuggles wherever possible. I have dog sat for friends and family countless time. I also volunteer occasionally at the Animal Rescue League of NH & also am looking forward to find a MA organization, now that I live down in MA! I work full time with 2 days in the office. The other 3 weekdays, I work fully remote & am flexible! If you live close by, I can stop by to let your dog out, take them for a walk or just give them some love for a bit. And of course, I’d love to stay at your home if needed (and could even work remotely from there if you’re okay with that!) I’m happy to accommodate to whatever you need in your own home! Since I don’t own my current place & have a dog living here currently, I am only offering services outside of my house. This will include- dog walking & in house visits/stays for cats & dogs. However, that means you get to tell me where everything is & we don’t need to take your perfect dog/cat out of their safe space. 🤍

About: I have taken care of my neighbors dogs for a long time throughout middle and highscool, providing drop-ins, sittings, and walks. I was on Wag for a long time having completed 80 services total including care of cats, small dogs, large dogs, and dogs who pull. I am someone who makes sure to learn their unique personalities and accomodate to what works for them! I am a first year law student with class in the middle of the day, but I am able to walk/drop-in in the mornings before class, and anytime after 3pm! I am willing to stay with them for longer if needed. I make sure they are leashed up and ready to walk. I make sure they have enough water in their bowls before I leave. I make sure my cat at home has daily enrichment and ensure he has time to cuddle with me.

About: I am a lifelong animal lover who has grown up around both cats and dogs. I promise to care for your fur baby as if they were my own. I am in between jobs at the moment so my schedule is wide open. As I pick up other part time work my schedule should maintain a lot of flexibility. Whenever I check in on a pet in their home I always take care to follow client’s directions and respect their space. I try to always leave things as I found them (or better in case I find a mess).

About: Since my PhD, I've found furry friends to be some of the best companions for different life moments, both the ups and downs. I’m naturally patient with animals and observant of their behaviors. Especially how they react to different cues so I can best connect them. I work very close from home with flexible schedule. Just let me know 3 hours ahead for a dog walk and 3 days ahead for short pet visit/ pet sitting. Before any pet walking/sitting/ short visit, I would like to visit first (with some treats) to get to know the pets. Only when I know they are comfortable with my presence can I take on the job. I would love any details about your pet so I can give them more tailored attention and care while you’re away.

About: Nothing really sets me apart. I believe every sitter on here should be Attentive, Caring, Knowledgeable, and Reliable. I am those things as well. Oh. I forgot. I'm a photographer so if you want nice pictures of your pet, I can make that happen. I work part time at the moment 3 days a week. From 6am - 10am. Therefor I have more than enough time to fit in bookings and spend time with your furry friends. I will follow whatever instructions you leave for me no matter how specific. The way you care for your animals and the routines they have are important. I will treat it as such.

About: I have had one dog in the past. Her name is Gigi and she is a golden doodle. She is an extremely active dog who keeps me active 24/7. She loves to cuddle and play and is so caring with people and other animals. The most unique characteristic about Gigi is that she has been obedient since the day we got her. Her training was so simple and easy to do. Training her was so easygoing that I learned enough to train my best friends dog Mia. I think having such a sweet puppy like Gigi made it even more fun to care and train for dogs. I trained Gigi and Mia to be able to remain calm in stressful/overstimulating moments, they are both well skilled in recognizing hand and verbal signals. Both are well behaved when hey are not wearing a leash and also very well in controlling impulsive behavior. I currently work full time so I am available in the afternoons. I am off by 5pm. I am available every weekend, all day. I do plan on having a more flexible schedule in the next 2 months. I personally do not have any pets at the moment. I have had 1 pet in the past and have been trusted by a few friends to care after their pets. I always ask the owner the basic information I need regarding their pets and do my best to ensure a fun and safe environment for all animals!

About: My name is William and I have been professionally house-sitting and providing dog walking services since 2015. I have also had clients' dogs stay in my home for as long as 2 weeks. I take all ages, sizes and breeds. Reach out for a meet and greet! Pet care allows me to keep busy. As of now I'm available to work afternoons and evenings, but I don't mind doing so in the morning. Be advised I value my time. If I don't hear a reply from you within 24 hours, I will move on. Often I like to play and establish a bond with dogs, making sure they're comfortable if not enthusiastic. I enjoy providing a cozy sleeping area and a yard for running.

About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life and know the ins and outs of their social cues. I currently have a great dane and a lab at home, so big dogs are no fear to me! Big or little I will make sure to give them all of my love and care. I am currently a full-time college students, but all of my evenings and mornings are free! On Mondays and Wednesdays I do have a two hour free period to support your pet from 2-4 as needed! My pets at home have a fenced in yard, one enjoys sleeping in her crate and the other enjoys his time on the couch. So however your pet feels most comfortable I will accommodate them! My dogs have set schedules with walks and meal time and I will follow your pets routine as much as they need!

Macklyne is a very kind soul! My dog felt comfortable with Macklyne from the moment with met Macklyne, which made me feel so confident. I knew Luna would be in good hands while I was gone, which was definitely the case. Macklyne kept me informed the whole time, which was a bonus.

Ashley was fantastic with our two cats, Pepper and Alfie! She was incredibly dependable, always right on time, and great about keeping us in the loop while we were away. She also took some genuinely great photos of the cats — not just the usual quick check-in pictures! It was such a relief knowing they were in good hands. We’d happily book with her again!

Katie is so amazing! Super communicative and sensitive to my cat’s sensitive preferences :) I was given so much peace of mind under their care. My kitty absolutely adores them and Katie went above and beyond to ensure his litter box was clean tidy and comfortable! I would highly recommend Katie if you’re looking for a sitter who is timely, communicative and attuned to cats care!
