Pet Sitting in Dows Crossing

“Alison has been communicative, responsive and flexible to our needs. Most importantly she has been very attentive and capable to the opposite spectrum of an energetic young pup and an almost blind senior dog. We're spending the summer here from out of town and it is reassuring to know we can count on Alison when we want to go on a longer hike, explore, take guests around and those times when we can't take both dogs with us. We're happy to have found her.”

About: I've been taking care of pets (cats, dogs, and rabbits) my entire life. One of my career highlights was working at the Philadelphia Zoo. Granted, I was working as a puppeteer, but I love being around animals every day. I currently have two beloved cats of my own, and I'm excited to meet your pets! I'm also a freelance puppeteer and writer - so when I'm between projects I have a very flexible schedule and will be happy to take care of your pets! I pride myself on being good with animals, love winning them over, and am a very empathic person. While I love a friendly creature, I'm also good at giving animals space if they're shy around new people, etc.

About: I have spent many overnights at homes while providing pet care. The durations of these stays have been up to a week. I do very well with following clear directions for feeding, medications, as well as other pet care needs. This includes affection and playing— I absolutely love dogs and cats! I am a teacher, which of course is a very busy job. However, I do not work over the summer, which means I have lots of flexibility in these months. I am also available during most weekends! I care for pets in my clients’ homes by following instructions regarding feeding, medications, going outside, as well as anything else that may be necessary! When owners are gone, I recognize it is best for the pets to keep their routines as consistent as possible! I respect any rules clients may have for their pets (e.g. where around they house they are allowed, any dietary limitations, and any necessary precautions to take so that the pets stay safe!)

About: I grew up with litters of German Shepherd puppies which sparked my lifelong love of animals. As adult, I raised and bred Labrador Retrievers. I now share my home with five cats, two Labs and six chickens. I'm also a proud grandparent to two wonderful grandchildren. Retired and living in Vermont. I'm recently retired and spending my time doing what I love most. Beling arond animals. I enjoy going on walks, playing and simply keeping pets company. If you ever need a little help with your furry friend whether it's a walk, some playtime, or just a visit while you're out. I can take them to the dog parks or to the waling paths.

“Marielle is an EXCEPTIONAL dog sitter! She helped us out for 4 days in a row with our rambunctious, challenging, high-energy, relentlessly driven almost 6 mo Australian Shepherd. The weather was horribly uncooperative - freezing, raining, windy, muddy and ongoing for all but 1 day. Marielle showed up on time very early in the morning with an enthusiastic greeting to my pup and no matter how many instructions I may have burdened her with, she took everything in with a smile. She is highly knowledgeable about dogs of all ages, patient, kind and energetic. She took my dog out for hours in all conditions without complaint! Our cabin was tiny, and she came for 4 -5 hour drop in visits. She is very comfortable to be around and my dog loved her! What more could you ask for?? Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve taking care of all types of animals from dogs, cats, horses, donkeys, llamas, cows, and many more! So nothing really bothers me! Just looking to make some extra side work to help pay off my student loans. Also maybe open up a savings account and pay some bills. I am a dog trainer during the week so I have plenty experience of caring for dog and other animals making sure they have all their proper necessities at all times! I am currently working MWT but can fit a request in anywhere I am working out in Walden & live in Eden. Just message me would love to meet your fur baby! I would care for them with love and spend extra time with them make sure they get everything they needed during that time. If it was a walk or just. Check in

About: I have grown up with dogs in my life since day one. I have learned how to take care of puppies with high energy to old dogs that need help going out to the bathroom. I have been dog watching for over 8 years and I am used to working with Rover. I’m also available for weekly/reoccurring meetings! I work retail part time and on break from school at Northeastern. I am available most days and have a few shifts a week. I’m free for morning and night walks and for dog sitting too! I will cater to the dogs needs and adjust how I act depending on visual signs. I’m ready to run and puppy around to get out energy. I’m prepared for a dog who is scared and will take time to get use to me.

“Lauren handled a stressful escapee dog situation very well — stayed calm and managed to get our tricky dog back on the property. She’s lovely and clearly a dog lover. I will definitely plan on using again.”

About: Since as early as I can remember I have grown up with dogs, and other animals. I have experience in caring for dogs, cats, horses, and some exotic animals as well (small and large animals). I am always ready for a challenge and love spending time with any dog! I have experience in a variety of dog training areas including hunting dogs and service dogs. I am also a pre-veterinary student with basic animal care knowledge! I have worked with a variety of breeds ranging from retrievers and pointers to terriers and toy-breeds. I love working with dogs of all ages and am capable of caring for newborn puppies and your older furry friends! I also have over nine years of house-sitting and pet-sitting experience. Caring for pets is one of my passions so it is easy to make it a part of my daily routine, even while I'm working! Please note, I do work full-time and as such my week-day schedule is typically limited but I am happy to discuss specific options. When caring for your pets they become like my own. I supervise outside time, even if there is a fence and always keep them close!

“This was the second time we’ve worked with Kim, and we were again impressed by her care and level of attention to detail. It was comforting to know Spruce was in good hands, and we wouldn’t hesitate to use Kim again.”

“I was really nervous about leaving my 18 year old cat with someone else but Ariel put me completely at ease. She was so kind and caring with my cat and completely comfortable administering medication and following special feeding instructions. She also sent me great pictures of my pet each day and was very communicative about how things were going. When I arrived home my cat was content and well cared for. I would highly recommend her for any pet care situation. Thank you Ariel”

“Agnes was great! She came and dropped in on our two kitties while we were out. She shared photos and updates every time and gave us peace of mind. She also took good care of our home during her visits. We came home to happy kitties!”

“Maria was great dog sitting our new puppy! She was flexible and on time, and provided updates throughout. She clearly loves dogs and our puppy clearly had fun!”

“I had friends over for President’s day weekend who brought their puppy (Archie) to play with my puppy (Gerard). We had made plans to ski the whole weekend but didn’t plan well enough on who will take care of our babies.  So we signed into Rover and checked our options.  After reading Giuliana’s profile we decided that she was the best choice for us.  We messaged her a bit later at night, but she responded immediately and agreed to come very early the next day.  She came a few minutes before our set time and was completely flexible when we tried to extend a bit of her stay because of traffic.  We came home to two very happy puppies who had been walked a couple of times, fed and played with the whole day.  I highly recommend Giuliana and will be using her again.”

“Ren was really great in helping take care of Bug! Thanks for sending updates and checking in on her :)”

About: I've always been around animals growing up. I've cared for all different kinds of livestock, cats, dogs, and small animals like bunnies and reptiles (no snakes or spiders though yet). And I love every minute of it. I have over 10 years of professional pet caring experience. I've house/pet sat for family members before. And local people in my town. I've also worked and still work in horse boarding barns, small family owned barns, and a local large animal sanctuary. I've even volunteered at my local animal hospital multiple times. I'm always willing to bend to the clients personal request when it comes to caring for their fur babies and homes. Right now I'm still in school until June 8th 2025. I have 3 jobs. One is seasonal and 2 are year around. So my schedule has a lot going on. Luckily my jobs are pretty flexible making things like house/pet sitting doable. I'm a very patient person. So when it comes to dealing with pets and tasks I take things one step at a time. My pets are well loved and know it. I have never gotten a complaint from any past or present client. I am more then willing to communicate different needs and come up with a plan to make your pets and you getting to know me a good and relieving experience. I'm also more then happy to give regular updates and send lots of pictures.

About: I've cared for all kinds of animals including farm animals like chickens and goats to typical house pets, Right down to a sugar glider once I have a wonderful schedule that allows me 3 days off. With school getting ready to pick back up again and winter on its way. I'm looking for a little extra income and what better way than to spend some hours with the best things on the planet, pets! Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday are my days off so those are the days I will be available most often. Though, because I don't leave for work until noon, I would be open to morning drop-ins when possible on the weekends. It's important for pets to know they're taken care of fresh food and water. Some play time and company clean litter boxes and walks. Their comfort is key.

“Emily took great care of my two cats while we were away. It's clear she really loves animals and they were very glad to see her each day. She sent pictures and gave me daily updates as well.”
