“Darcia went above and beyond my expectations. My dog has separation anxiety so she stayed with him 24-7 he felt comfortable with her right away. Darcia sent pictures and updated me every day. She took my very energetic husky on long walks each day and was very precise about following my instructions. I couldn’t be happier to have found her!”

About: Pet care has always been a part of my life. I’ve raised and cared for dogs, cats, birds, and fish—from puppies and kittens to older pets who need a little extra patience and attention. I’ve experienced every stage of an animal’s life, so I know how to give the right kind of care, whether that means playtime, training support, or simply quiet companionship. What makes my service unique is that it’s a team effort—my girlfriend, Laurel, and I work together to provide care. She’s just as passionate and experienced with animals, so your pet gets the attention of two loving and responsible sitters. We love going on walks in the woods and beach right next to our house, keeping pets active and happy, and making sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. Pet care is a natural part of our daily routine. I work remotely from home, which gives me the flexibility to be present and attentive throughout the day. My girlfriend is also free for the summer, so between the two of us, your pet will have round-the-clock care and company. We truly enjoy being around animals—walks, playtime, chilling, we love to do it all! Caring for pets isn’t something we squeeze into our day—it is our day, and we love every minute of it! In our home, pets have plenty of space to feel comfortable and safe. We live in a large house with lots of room to play and relax, and we also have a fenced-in area in the yard where dogs can enjoy outdoor time securely. Whether it’s indoor cuddles or supervised play outside, we make sure pets get a great mix of exercise, attention, and rest. We keep a calm, pet-friendly environment and follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding schedules, walk times, and any special care instructions. Our goal is to make them feel right at home, whether they’re staying with us or we’re visiting them in theirs.

“Kylie did a great job watching our dogs!”

About: I have been dog sitting friends and family animals since college. I am devoted to animals and their wellbeing! Whether big or small I love all of them. I have experience dog sitting, cat sitting. I have three birds, a cockatiel, and two parakeets. I have had dogs of my own growing up, small, medium, and large sized. I have also grown up riding horses and caring for them as well. I love any animal, no matter the kind. I work full time Mondays to Fridays 8:30am-4pm I am willing to take care of your animals when I get out of work. I have an open availability for weekend days. I would go to your home and care for your animal/animals! I would provide them with food, water, bathroom breaks, and if they require any special medication.

“Alyssa was amazing with my pets. She went above and beyond what was asked. Mini (lab mix) is not a dog that warms up quickly to others and Alyssa didn’t give up on her. I do believe they are finally friends. I will be a repeat client and won’t hesitate to use Alyssa again.”

About: I have been taking care of my own dog since I was 12 years old. I have recently started dog sitting for others in the last 2-3 years. I have the most experience with medium to large sized dogs and have no issues with the small dogs as well! I love to take the dogs I watch for walks/hikes around the area (if they are able to). I have experience with up to two dogs at a time as well as senior-aged dogs. I work in the public schools during the school year, but during the summer I am free much more often to take care of all your pet needs. I am available most weekdays and weekends for house sitting, dog walking or just stopped-in services for potty breaks. I have been actively dog sitting for 3-4 years now. I take the utmost care of your pets as well as your home! I will make sure to leave your home in the same state or better than it was when I entered your home. I know how important pets and animals can be and I can 100% be trusted with your animals and your home!

“Renee was very professional and did an excellent job of caring for our three boys. We would highly recommend her to anyone!”

“Kim is the cat whisperer! She watched our 2-year old VERY skittish and shy rescue cat Bob, and he was completely comfortable around her. He is usually cowering under the couch and refuses to come out even if he hears a stranger’s voice outside the front door, but with Kim he felt safe and comfy enough to come out and eat. We came home to a happy well-fed, affectionate, and playful kitty. Thank you, Kim! We can’t wait to have you hang out with Bob again :)”

About: 🐾 Hi, I’m Kim! I’ve been pet sitting for over 10 years, and honestly? Hanging out with dogs and cats is my favorite thing. Big dogs, tiny floofs, grumpy cats, clingy cats—I love them all. I’m the kind of sitter who sends photo updates, gives way too many treats (with permission!), and talks to your pet like they’re a tiny human. Need meds given? Got it. Weird quirks? I’m here for it. Basically, if your pet needs love, playtime, and someone who actually gets them—I’m your person. I work full-time but have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable and attentive pet sitting. I’m highly responsible, dependable, and committed to ensuring pets are happy, safe, and well cared for. Here’s a short version you could use: I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing them with love, attention, and care. I’m respectful of people’s homes and take pride in leaving everything just as I found it, ensuring both pets and owners feel comfortable and at ease.

“Sam is awesome! She took excellent care of our dog and cat while we were away visiting family. She was very communicative and sent updates and pictures every day. She gave extra love to our dog, Luna, who is afraid of fireworks- making sure she was home during the fireworks time, and comforting Luna throughout the night. She even suggested a product (the happy hoodie) which helped Luna stay calm, and it was very thoughtful for Sam to think of that! We felt completely confident that our fur babies were in good hands while we were gone. And she also took good care of our house- even offering to vacuum to keep up with the crazy amounts of dog hair Luna sheds. Thank you so much, Sam! We’re looking forward to having you pet sit for us again!”

“My very young, but large and high-energy dog did exceedingly well with Connor. Having come into my life last October, I had not once left Chance in the care of anyone else. I was, of course, a bit nervous about how he would fare. He was rescued from a terrible situation and suffers from anxiety. I’ve worked hard to help Chance adjust, and I have made good progress. I had no reason to fear! Connor knew instinctively how to connect with Chance, and it is clear that I had the right person for this dog! I highly recommend Connor and thank him for taking a chance on Chance!”

“Leesha was great! She cat and house sat for me for a week over the holidays and was very communicative. She regularly sent me photos and updates and my cat seemed to warm up to her great! Would definitely recommend!”

About: I have worked as a Veterinary Technician for the past six years, caring for companion animals, agricultural species, wildlife, and exotics in both Florida and Massachusetts. My lifelong passion for animals has driven me to develop skills to care for all needs. I started my career in shelter medicine and moved on to working with companion and agricultural animals full-time. During this time, I have assisted in providing life-long care to thousands of pets, covering anesthesia and monitoring, dentistry, grooming, and regular care in and outpatient settings. I have always pet-sat for my clients over the years, allowing my patients to remain in the comforts of their homes, and have fostered hundreds of shelter pets and exotic animals who need intense care. I later moved on to wildlife rehabilitation, where I have been a part of over 1,600 cases successfully returned to the Everglades. Our sanctuary had over 400 permanent residents whom I used operant conditioning to train for cooperative care and voluntary medical procedures. I also worked with Ambassador Animals during educational presentations to groups of all ages about responsible pet ownership and conservation. I have since returned to Massachusetts, where I resumed companion animal medicine and training before deciding to leave in-clinic practice. I love taking care of dogs and cats, and would like to continue to share that passion with my community. Whether your pet is elderly, medically complex, or has a demanding training or enrichment schedule, you can trust that they will receive the highest quality in-home care from a veterinary professional. Depending on the pet’s temperament, nail trims are included free of charge at your request. I have recently transitioned from in-clinic practice and am currently available for bookings at any time. Perfect for last-minute bookings and pets in high-need situations. Whether your pet simply needs feeding and quiet time or requires round-the-clock supervision and interaction, I respect the wishes of pet parents and am devoted to giving pets the care and comfort they deserve. Providing that care in their home, especially during times of need, is deeply fulfilling to me. I look forward to working with you to create a personalized plan for your pet, giving you peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I’ve always had pets growing up so I’m very familiar with their needs and what makes them happy. Currently have a 5 year old Half American Pincher / Chihuahua. Very friendly and full of energy. Great with everyone and all kinds of animals. I currently work from home so I’m always available to around to make sure they are okay. We got for multiple walks a day and also visit the dog park near New Bedford High School regularly. My dog roams the apartment freely while I work. We do not cage our pet. ( no offense to those that do) He is also allowed on the furniture. He has plenty of toys and I also take him to a fenced in park where he runs around for an hour a day. We got for walks in the morning, during my lunch break and plenty of walks after work. We have a fenced in yard but it is rather small so we don’t do much there.

About: Ever since I was little, I always wanted to spend time with animals regardless of their size, age, breed or species! My favorite part about pet sitting is getting to learn about each pets personalities and building a positive connection with them! As a pet sitter, my main priority is making sure your pet(s) are receiving the best possible care! Working from home has opened more opportunities for me to work with you, to discuss how I can provide your pet(s) the best care possible! In a client’s home, I would enter slowly and greet their pet(s) softly, allowing them to come up to me before advancing. After that, I will fulfill the tasks needed done by the pet owner (walk,potty,feeding, etc.) and spend time with the pet to play or to keep them company!

“Colleen is very professional and prompt. Having her stay with Mili while I was away was a huge relief for me. She also sent me updats and pictures daily so I knew how she was doing. I would recommend Colleen to anyone needing an attentive dog sitter!”

About: I have been taking care of the dogs the past 3 years, people in my neighborhood rely on me to stay over night with them, just check in on them if they are going to be gone for long periods of time, or just to take them on a walk for some exercise. I currently work part time but my schedule moves around a lot. I don’t have set times for walks, or check ins but I’m more than happy to move my schedule around to make it work for the both of us! I have 2 fur babies of my own and a fenced in yard with plenty of tops. If your fur baby needs some space I can always sit with them in a separate room, or put them in their crate!

About: I have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs, having owned both small and large breeds, which allows me to comfortably manage dogs of various sizes. I am well-versed in a range of services, including walking, bathing, feeding, and engaging in playtime. My schedule is flexible, with availability most days of the week, though I kindly request a minimum of three days' notice for dog walking or feeding arrangements. I also ask for at least 24 hours' notice in the event of any cancellations. Above all, I am passionate about dogs and truly enjoy spending time with them, whether it's running, playing fetch, going on walks, or simply providing them with the love and care they deserve. As a teacher on summer break and assisting my grandparents as a home health aide, I have a flexible schedule and am available most days of the week. I can accommodate dog sitting, walking, and feeding with 24-hour notice for bookings. This allows me to provide personalized and attentive care while balancing my other responsibilities. In both my home and my client’s home, I prioritize safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment for the pets. I ensure that the space is pet-proofed, free from hazards, and equipped with all the necessary supplies for the pet’s well-being. I maintain a calm, welcoming atmosphere where pets feel secure and loved. During walks or outdoor play, I stay attentive to their needs and ensure they are safe at all times. Whether in my home or yours, I offer consistent care, regular check-ins, and plenty of positive reinforcement to build trust with your pet.

About: i’ve had pets ever since I was 5 i’ve loved dogs for as long as i can remember. And animals never seem to have a problem, they get along with me just fine. I currently own a guinea pig and he’s my best little friend. I’m definitely getting a dog in the future. I’m lways available for some lovey time with your pet 🫶🏽 I am currently in college. but I am available around my classes because they are online classes that I can take in my own time. Wednesday and Thursday I have scheduled classes in the late afternoon but we could work around that since the classes are online. I will care for your pet just as I care for mine and, will do anything that’s asked. Your pet is in great hands. There is also a dog park right next to my house, if you prefer to drop your dog we can go on a stroll to the park.
