“Colin was wonderful with our cat, Lily. She's it's normally very shy and will hide when new people enter her life, but Colin was able to gain her trust and get her to come out of her shell. He did a great job and I highly recommend him.”
About: Having grown up around a diverse set of animals then adopting 2 dogs of my own in adulthood, I bring a thorough, well rounded background in pet care. I am single dad (kids live here part-time) who currently works a corporate 9-5 job full-time from my home office in Leominster, so I have a lot of flexibility during the work days during the week, and then my weekends are very open too around kids activities. I live in a pet-friendly apartment complex within a wooded area with land so this gives a good environment for comfortable interior space as well as walking pets outside.
“Katherine did a wonderful job taking care of Joe. I came home to a very well groomed, happy, and healthy kitty. Katherine also did a wonderful job communicating, keeping things clean, and very clearly adores animals. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again or recommend her to others.”
“Katrina was the best with my dog and cat. She kept me updated every visit and they seem comfortable with her. She fed them and kept the space clean for them! I would definitely book her again.”

“Riven was excellent. She was always on time for the scheduled visits, spent time with the dogs, and was very communicative about how they were doing. Our dogs seemed very happy. I would highly recommend Riven”
About: My love for my own pets inspired me to continue working with animals during college! With a major in psychology and a goal of working with therapy animals in the future, I love learning and growing as much as I can. I have professional experience in animal shelters, and a therapy animal program! I'm hoping to spend more time gaining experience working with animals. Not only is it enjoyable to hangout with furry friends, but it will be beneficial to my future career working in animal assisted therapy! I recognize that every animal is different with their own little personality. Hearing from owners about their recommendations, and getting to know the animal has never failed!

“Priscilla had been doing drops ins for our 4 month old puppy for the past few weeks. Not only does she take Paisley out for us but has been helping with her leash walking and place command. Priscilla has been on time and provides information and pictures immediately after each visit. Highly recommend Priscilla for any of your dog sitting needs!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with decades of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. From my earliest memories, dogs have been part of my life—not just as pets, but as true family members. Over the years, I’ve been a dedicated “dog dad” through every stage of a dog’s life, from energetic puppies to senior companions requiring extra patience and care. I’ve also supported dogs through times of illness, so I understand how important it is to be attentive, gentle, and responsive to their needs. I pride myself on being kind, conscientious, reliable, and patient. When you trust me with your dog, you can expect professionalism, clear communication, and genuine care. I treat every dog as if they were my own—because I know they are a beloved part of your family. With my life experience comes a calm and steady approach, which helps me handle unexpected situations with confidence and good judgment. Whether it’s a daily walk, companionship, or extra attention while you’re away, your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! I do freelance work and am able to design my own work schedule. I like to stay busy and am amenable to dog-walking or pet-sitting at hours others may not be able to accommodate. I care for every pet as if they were my own family member. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully to maintain the dog’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and rest. I understand that consistency helps pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m reliable, patient, attentive, and respectful of both the pet and the client’s home. I also provide regular updates and photos so parents can feel confident that their pets are receiving loving, professional care. With years of experience caring for dogs of many breeds and ages, including senior dogs and dogs with special needs, I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s personality and needs.
“Carolyn has been such an amazing help and it has been such a comfort to know that our cat has been so well looked after. She always provides wonderful photo updates and we really appreciate her flexibility. She even came on super short notice just days before her vacation. Thank you so much Carolyn!!!”
About: I have been taking care of pets since I was seven years old. I’m very used to caring for family and friends pets. I’ve been relied on to ensure the furry ones get loved, walked, fed, bathed and played with! I’m currently working part-time nights , so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups until 3pm! I'm available every day except Sundays. I’m very flexible! I have a small unfenced yard so I won’t be doing a ton of hosting but when I do… I have a fur baby to keep your pet company. I am able to go on frequent long walks. I’m always up for it rain, snow or shine!
“This was my first time using a pet sitting service so I was pretty nervous. Bradleigh is super friendly and outgoing and made this experience stress free! I highly recommend Bradleigh and wouldn't hesitate to choose her again in the future.”
“I highly recommend Kayla G. My dogs are very spoiled and do not really like people who do not live in our house, but they love her. I have asked Kayla back a few times so I could go away on vacation and she was very communicative and took great care of them.”
About: I love animals and have been around them as long as I can remember. I have extensive experience with dogs and cats, from birth to their last breath. I believe in positive reinforcement training. I am very loving and treat all animals with respect but can be strict when required for safety. With me your babies will feel like they are at home away from home. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I am available almost always and your fur babies will have lots of love and company. I have a large grassy yard, and I live near a pond and multiple trails. I also have a Chihuahua mix girl, who is very friendly and loves making new friends.

I was absolutely pleased with Karly and her patience with basil. He does get a little nervous meeting people, but she did such a great job of making him feel super comfortable and it helped me as well because I could trust her with him. I am 100% booking with her again moving forward!!! she’s overall a sweet person, and it shows!!
Elizabeth did a great job with our pets. Our one cat requires 3 meds daily for a heart condition. She administered the meds and also alerted us of an issue with the volume left in one bottle which led to a shipping issue with the vendor. We were able to resolve it immediately, so he wasn't without his one med for too long. She took care of the geckos and their crazy diets with ease. We definitely trusted and will continue to trust Elizabeth with our animal's care. She did amazing!
Emily was very reliable and caring coming by to check on my cat Henry while I was on vacation. He was a little shy at first but warmed up to her after a few visits. I had peace of mind knowing he was being taken care of while I was away. I liked the pictures she sent with the daily visit update. I would definitely recommend Emily if you need someone to tale care of your pets while ypu are away.
Having a dog on hospice with some extra needs makes it hard to get out for even a day since he can't travel anymore. Audrey met with our dogs and was able to come let them out just a few days later so we could travel for the entire day. We have used her several times now over the holidays so we could visit family and attend concerts in Boston on day trips. We come home to no accidents and dogs that are happily fed and not anxious. I highly recommend Audrey.
Mariah took care of our cats and Leopard geckos over Christmas break. The geckos ran out of crickets because they all decided to die (pretty common) so she went to the pet store and got them more which was above and beyond what was expected. She was persistent when it came to catching our kitty that needs his heart meds each day and knows how to play a good game of hide and seek to try to keep away. We know our animals are safe with Mariah and our house too as she also brought in packages that arrived while we were away.
Angelita was excellent with our cats, gave pets and attention to our cat that doesn't hide, and tried her best to check on the one that does. She also recognized that I must have booked the visits wrong by the amount of food I left out for the cats. I booked the first and last day of the week we where gone. When I meant to book the entire week. She contacted us to ask, because she saw the amount of cans we left out for her. I would highly recommend her for any pet sitting services.
