About: My family has always had at least one cat or dog, so I have grown up with these wonderful animals as well as learned how to care for them with walking, feeding, cleaning, playing, etc. I am familiar with the body language of dogs and cats and want to provide a fun and safe experience for them while taking into account their unique temperaments and personalities. I treat every dog and cat like the beloved family member that I know they are. I am currently on summer break from college, so I have a lot of availability! I would love to fill my time by getting to know your pet(s). I will treat your pets and your home with the utmost respect. I want to be an asset that will unobtrusively care for your animals in and outside your home. I know and honor how important every animal is in their family's life.

About: I have owned or cared for 4 legged friends for most of my life. Family and friends have had me care for their pets since I was about 12, but owning my own really made me love them. I am comfortable with pets of all sizes, but I have a special place in my heart for larger breed dogs and orange cats. I would love to help reinforce your dogs training, encourage socialization and exercise in settings that are safe and dog friendly, and I am passionate that animals are part of a family. I am comfortable feeding both dogs and cats, and have experience medicating both. I'm a stay at home mom with a kiddo who is in elementary school, so my schedule tends to be flexible depending on the day and school schedules. Please be aware that if a visit or walk is scheduled on a day that there is no school, (such as a holiday or vacation), or a time that school is not in session (half days, weekends, or after school hours) my daughter may join me. I love going for walks and exploring new areas, but can also happily cuddle a furry friend. I am able to feed, pick up after, and care for animals with confidence. I am comfortable taking instruction and will do my absolute best to make sure that you are happy with my visit with your furry family member. I don't worry about bigger dogs, they're just more to love! Meeting a new dog prior to the first visit is a requirement for my services.

About: Hi! I’m an experienced and dependable pet sitter and dog walker with a lifelong love for animals. I’ve worked with animals since I was 16, including 7 years as a veterinary technician assistant in an animal hospital and experience in doggy daycares. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats, administering medications, and handling pets of all sizes and energy levels. I treat every pet like family and always prioritize safety, patience, and communication! 🐾🫶🏻😻 I work full time four days a week as a house coordinator at a women’s halfway house in Tewksbury, Massachusetts. My position is very flexible, which allows me plenty of time throughout the day to care for your fur babies. I also have full availability on my days off, which are Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s needs! I live in an apartment complex and typically prefer to provide pet sitting in my client’s home to keep pets comfortable in their own environment. I have, however, pet sat in my home before. I share my space with three cats and a small chihuahua who get along well with other animals, and I have plenty of room to safely care for your pet’s needs. I always follow care instructions closely and prioritize a calm, clean, and safe environment.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have experience providing overnight pet and house sitting for stays ranging from a week to 10 days at a time. I’ve also helped family and friends with basic dog training and behavior support. As a lifelong animal lover, I genuinely enjoy the companionship dogs bring and love keeping them active, engaged, and happy through walks, outdoor adventures, hikes, playtime, and plenty of affection. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. As a small business owner with a flexible schedule and a few part-time commitments, I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, cat care, feeding, and house sitting, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. While I occasionally need to step away for client appointments, I am typically gone for no more than 4–5 hours at a time and always make sure pets receive timely meals, potty breaks, exercise, and attention. I appreciate advance notice whenever possible so I can plan accordingly, though I may be able to accommodate same-day requests depending on availability. When caring for pets, I like to take time to get to know each animal and build trust at their own pace. I believe every pet has a unique personality, so I try to follow their lead and create a calm, comfortable environment where they feel safe and secure. Depending on the pet’s needs and temperament, I provide enrichment through playtime, walks, outdoor time, and plenty of affection. Whether a pet is energetic and social or more reserved and independent, my goal is always the same: to ensure they feel cared for, content, and as comfortable as possible while their owner is away.

Jennifer is great with my 7-month old German Shepherd Koda, I will occasionally have her stop by to give him a potty break in the middle of the day if I'm going to be working late. She takes him out, refills his water bowl and makes sure he is happy :) she also sends me photo updates every time too :)

About: Hi! My name is Katherine, and I live in a cozy home in Lowell, in a neighborhood filled with parks and beautiful walking paths. I’m very excited to start caring for more dogs and giving them all the love and attention they deserve! I’ve cared for dogs belonging to friends and family, and I currently have a playful 1 year old dog. As a responsible and caring dog lover, I always follow any instructions you have for your pet. I love going on walks, giving lots of cuddles, and making sure your dog feels happy, safe, and at home. I’m a public school teacher, so I’m home by 2:30 PM on weekdays, and I’m fully available on weekends and many weeks throughout the summer. Looking forward to hearing from you! Hablo español 😁 I currently work from 7am to 2pm M-F I am available after 2:30pm every day I am available during the weekends and all holidays. And overnight as needed I have a fenced small backyard, we also have plenty of space at home, I currently have a 1 year old puppy and I don’t have kids on my own.

Kianna is amazing pet-sitter and takes excellent care of our pup! She’s warm, friendly, and took the time to build a rapport with our little family (including the dog). When we returned from a long trip, our pup was happy and relaxed. Throughout the the trip, Kianna provided regular updates and even adjusted the drop-in schedule to make sure we had peace of mind and our pet’s needs were met. Kianna is top tier!

About: I've grown up with cats and love them! Friends have trusted me to cat sit for them while they were away on vacation on multiple occasions. I made sure they were well fed and felt safe and comfortable while their parents were away. I work part-time on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. I am available on Wednesdays from 10am until 4pm, Fridays from 10am until 5pm, and Sundays from 12pm (noon) until 5pm. I respect cat's space and comfort, I never force an interaction they aren't comfortable with. I allow them to make contact with me when they are ready and give them their space when they've had enough interaction. I always make sure they are safe and stay out of dangerous areas. If there are any problems I always resolve them in a calm and relaxed manner so as not to cause any stress.

About: I have had dogs since I was born. My current dog, Ollie, is 1 year old. One of my previous dogs, who has since passed, had diabetes and required insulin shots and went blind but I took care of her for years after her diagnosis before she passed from natural causes. I love dogs, they make the world a brighter place! I work 3 days a week (or nights) so I have four days off a week. It can change depending on my schedule or I can request certain days off to fit someone else’s schedule with enough notice. I live in a house with several parks in the immediate area to keep your dog occupied! I have a lot of patience when taking care of dogs/puppies.

I have availability to walk, feed, and play with your pups and cats during the week in the mornings and afternoons! I can also make certain nights and weekends work as well! I can easily crate your dog if needed. I will make sure all fences are closed and secured if we are going outside to play. I will also make sure leashes are on properly!

About: I've taken pet care seriously since my childhood dog passed away several years ago. I have taken care of senior dogs, and currently a hyperactive dog I've had since she was 3 months old. I previously worked at Petsmart, so I can administer medication to a variety of pets, including lizards and birds! You can trust me with your puppy, houstrained or not, up to your oldest, biggest dog. I also take care of the family cat and love spending time with cats in general. During the weekdays and weekends I have all the time in the world for your pet as needed! Early days or late nights are just fine. Whatever your pet wants or needs, I can give 100%. They can get up on the couch with me, I will give them long walks and they'll get plenty of belly rubs and treats! For cats they're such picky little rascals that I will adjust to their needs, whether that's playing or giving them space.

She took such wonderful care of our girls and was always so communicative, professional, gentle, and encouraging with them. It makes such a difference when we’re out of town knowing they’re in such good hands. She came twice a day to make sure they were happy, cared for, and had lots of fun playtime. We’re so grateful for all her care and attention!
