“Kylie was great with both of my dogs who need to be kept separated, and I was able to trust her with that while I was out for a few hours. We will definitely be using her services again and my dogs will be very happy to see her again!🐾”
“Haley was awesome! She was very attentive in her care for our cat & dog while we were away. She also was able to accommodate a last minute additional visit which was so great!! She closely monitored the well-being of our dog during 4th of July fireworks and made sure to give thorough reviews/plenty of photos. Communication was amazing! Would definitely recommend Haley”
“Jenna did an amazing job taking care of our pups! I It is obvious that she genuinely loves animals. We highly recommend her to anyone who needs a dependable sitter or caretaker for their animals/Pups.”
“Angela & Adam had great professional holiday energy for my senior kitties. They sent thorough reports and great/festive pictures that made us laugh which helped my son cause he always misses our fur babies when we are out of town. It is so refreshing to meet folks who genuinely love animals and provide top notch care!”
“Amanda was wonderful. She took great care of our three cats. She made sure they always had food, fresh water, clean litter boxes, played with them, and gave them attention. She sent pictures every day. Would highly recommend her.”
“Jessica - Thanks again for kitty care. Upon return both seemed happy and if they could speak am sure they'd give you 5 Meows to express their appreciation for your coming by to visit + feeding. Will be in touch with you soon. Susan”
About: I fostered a dog last summer (pittie mix) for 3 weeks before she found her forever home. I learned how to build her confidence and respect her boundaries. I also love going on walks and doing sleepovers with friends’ dogs. I work full time but am usually free starting at 3pm during the week depending on location and free during the weekends. I am looking to get in several walks a week! I will follow any directions you have for pet care for your specific dog. I have experience with crating dogs and do not mind loving dogs unaware of their own size and strength!
About: I have been a pet lover since day one! I have had dogs as big as loving labs, as small as cocker spaniels, and rescues in between. Each one had their own personality, character and energy levels but were all loved the same. I do have experience with senior dogs as well who have needed a little extra help to accommodate their day to day needs as they lost their sight, hearing or became less mobile. Every pet deserves love and attention and I look forward to helping meet their needs! I am currently a dental hygiene student with a part time job one night a week. Since my school days are much shorter than the average work day, I have plenty of time to keep your pet company while you are away. I am comfortable walking dogs of any size. Currently I do not do sitting in my own home, but look forward to playing outside if there is a fenced in yard, walks in your neighborhood, and playing with your pups favorite toys.
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: My passion is animals I’ve been taking care of animals for years and I’ve been learning about how to care for each species’ specific needs. I’ve volunteered at shelters, I am part time veterinary technician at an animal hospital, and currently in school on track to be a veterinarian. Im currently in school and working part time so I’ll be available all day Monday, Friday, Saturday, and Sundays. I will be available Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday early mornings and evenings only! In your home, i would care for your pets by sticking to their regular routine for feeding, exercise, grooming, and fun! Ensuring their space is safe and comfortable with clean water, appropriate bedding, and pet-proofed areas. I do this by following detailed instructions, respecting your home and pet’s routine, and providing regular updates. For care in my home I have a fenced yard and two pups to keep yours company and would maintain your pets schedule as well.
About: I have taken care of dogs for about five years. My girl loves hiking and long walks. I love taking pups on long walks to tire them out!! I am currently going to school with a pretty open schedule. Looking for odd jobs to fill in the gaps and make a little bit on the side. I have a friendly fixed female who is crate trained. I also have a fenced in yard but prefer walks around the block with pups.
“Kristie is the best. We’ve hired her 3 times now (and have another planned) and I shudder to think what I’ll do if she’s not available. My cats are very wary of strangers. She seems to have charmed them. 😍”
About: I’ve had many pets as a kid, I love the company of animals! Fun fact I am CPR and BLS certified, and I am a Certified Medical Assistant! Summer time is approaching so i am now free mostly everyday! mornings and noon time are perfect for me and my schedule at the moment!! I am a big sister so i’m always taking care of the young ones! I care for pets in anyway shape or form I can to ensure their comfortable!
“Anna was amazing!!! She was very quick to respond to emails and texts and took excellent care of our 2 cats. We will definitely request Anna to watch our cats during future vacations and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent caregiver for their pets”

“Katelyn went above and beyond and kept my anxious senior kitties content.”
William V.
“William V would be a great care giver to anyone’s animals because for one he has his own dog and he takes great care of him. He is a genuine lover of all animals. When I am away for work he takes my dog for days on end until I return. I appreciate all his hard work and dedication to my fur baby, which is why I think he would be great for the job.”
Aaliyah T.
“I have 2 large dogs and Aaliyah helps and helped with dog sitting and walking my dogs safely without any mishaps or any confrontations with any neighbors dogs. I highly recommend Aaliyah.”
Ixia A.
“From the moment she first met Madison, our lively Labrador Retriever, it was clear that Ixia had a natural connection with dogs. Her warmth, professionalism, and incredible attention to detail made every walk and care session a stress-free experience for both Madison and us. She not only ensured Madison got plenty of exercise but also took the time to engage her in thoughtful play, reinforcing positive behaviors and making their time together fun and stimulating. Madison would always return home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Beyond that, Ixia was consistently punctual, responsible, and went the extra mile—whether it was bringing fresh water, wiping Madison’s paws after a muddy adventure, or keeping us updated with adorable photos from their outings. If you're looking for a dog walker who treats your furry companion like family and provides service that is above and beyond, Ixia is the one you need. We are so grateful for her dedication, kindness, and expertise. Madison absolutely adores her, and we couldn’t be happier!”
