“Karissa was absolutely wonderful! This was our first time leaving our pups for an extended period of time, and Karissa sent us so many updates and our pups looked so happy! It was a relief to know our pups were in reliable and kind hands. We will definitely be using her services again in the future. Highly recommend!!”


About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages—from playful puppies and kittens to gentle seniors with special needs. With a lifetime of experience raising and nurturing pets (including bunnies, hamsters, and guinea pigs!), I’ve learned how to tune in to each animal’s unique personality and needs. I’m a stay at home wife. I work part time for my husband so in my free time I love to spend time with my own pup. But love to help out others who may not have a lot of free time of their own. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and follow your routine to keep things consistent for your fur baby. I’m very detail-oriented and happy to handle feedings, walks, playtime, medication, and extra care for senior or special-needs pets. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you know your pet is safe, loved, and in good hands.

“Cecilia was great! She was reliable, responsive and gave me daily updates, including pictures. My cat seemed to enjoy her visits and was relaxed and happy when we got home. We will definitely request her again.”


About: I have 10 yrs working with disable dogs. I also have 4 yrs with my current doggies. Always flexible for any needs required. Safe and Loving I am currently working from home, which makes my schedule flexible. This allows me to incorporate pet care into my daily routine easily. I can take breaks throughout the day to give them the attention require When caring for pets at a client's home, I ensure that I follow their specific instructions and routines to make sure the pets feel comfortable and safe.

About: I've had dogs since I could even remember, they are always like family to me. I have also cared for family and friend's pets on multiple occasions throughout the years with no problems. I would love to put my love for these animals into action and help the families who need their little family members cared for by someone with the best intentions and care ! I am currently unemployed and thought this would be a great use of my time and a way to help others. I am flexible with availability as long as there is communication and understanding on both sides :) I have 3 dogs, one of which lives strictly downstairs and is a small pup, another who is 18 years young and minds his own business, and a 3 year old aussie doodle who is the most friendly and playful girl you will ever meet ! We also have a large fenced in backyard for all kinds of running and playing :) I will gladly keep dogs separated for the time being if it is more comfortable for the client and will always offer to take your pup for a walk or small hike ! We also have plenty of rooms in the house if your pup prefers some peace and quiet.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 12. I have been relied upon by family and friends to walk and feed their pets, for the most part multiple animals at once. I am currently a pre-veterinary student at UVM. I’m currently an under graduate at the University of Vermont. I have a lot of time outside of classes to care for your animals when you need. I am incredibly accustomed to the furry friend chaos. I’ve been dealing with the craziness of animals for a long time and have been very good in the best about shutting down any excessive behavior in a calm and cool manner.

About: Hello! My name is Sammie and I’m a college athlete and nursing student at UML. I’ve had three dogs in my lifetime so far at the ripe age of 20. I am a huge animal lover and obsessed with every furry friend. I had two beagles growing up… and now I have a four year-old sassy, husky named Skye… we rescued Skye a little over three years ago when she was 1 year old. She lives with my mom and I. We take her on three walks a day, short car rides, dog park trips, and we give her plenty of playtime. She has a few different husky friends in the neighborhood. Although she’s a little crazy, she’s my best friend. Now that I attend Umass Lowell, where I play Division I women’s lacrosse I don’t have as much time to spend with her. Being away from my little husky is hard, but I visit her as much as possible. I’m excited to get started helping other families with fur babies. Every morning and every evening I walk my husky. We play with her throughout the day depending on who is around in the family. She gets weekly dog park trips as well and hangs out with her friends in the neighborhood. Plenty of playtime, cuddles and walks. I know my dog loves to take long walks in the neighborhood, play fetch with her ball and snuggle on the couch when she’s tired.

About: I’ve had my own dogs my entire life and have taken care of other family members/neighbors dogs and cats while they are away. I love to go for walks and always enjoy taking a dog along with me!

I am not necessarily looking to take dogs to my home but I am capable of caring for them in your home like you normally do.

About: Hi My name is Kylie, and I'm thrilled to offer my services as a dedicated dog walker and caregiver. With over a decade of experience raising my beloved Yellow Lab, Chase, and spending lots of time around the pets of my friends and family, I've developed a profound love and understanding of dogs. I am on the cape Thurs-Sunday, working remotely on Thursdays and Fridays so I have limited availability those days (only available after 3:00pm on Thursdays and Fridays). But am very flexible on Saturdays and Sundays. I will be available until mid-August, when I go back to school. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort in their own home mean everything to me. I follow all your instructions carefully—whether it’s feeding, meds, or any special quirks your pet has—so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. I also make sure to treat your home with care and leave everything just the way I found it. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your furry friend, with plenty of love, attention, and belly rubs!

About: I’ve been a pet owner and caretaker of my own animals since I was able to but also the animals of others as if they were my own. No task too big nor too small, from walking, medication distribution, bathing, feeding to just playing with and keeping company many different breeds and kinds of animals. I currently work full time in client care with complex people , Monday through Friday 830am - 400 pm. I am available after work and very flexible for all weekends. I have a loving, warm and comfortable home with a fenced in backyard. I have many toys and do have a miniature dachshund named Peanut, he is energetic and loves other dogs. I do not have many requests just house trained. I am fun loving and believe animals are just like any other guest in the home, considered family.

About: Hello, my name is Samantha and I would love to help out with any pet sitting needs you may have! I have been a dog sitter/walker for about 8 years now and absolutely love it! I’ve had experience with dogs ranging from puppies to their older years. I have such a passion for animals and I am wonderful with them. I grew up in a neighborhood that had dogs everywhere so I became very comfortable with them. I am very organized, honest, love to get exercise, and have great customer service skills. I work from home Monday-Friday so availability is typically never an issue! Hope to meet you and your pet soon :) I currently work remote, therefore my schedule is extremely flexible! I will always be able to fit in time to come hangout with or walk your dog :) I have plenty of time during the day to let your fur baby outside to go to the bathroom and get some fresh air! I also live right near a beach for some beach walks!

About: I have been working with dogs specifically for the better part of 20 years. I have worked with them from the kennel setting to daycare and grooming to the medical setting with 8 or so years in veterinary medicine experience ( vet assistant and client care representative). I have always grown up or had dogs my whole life , currently I have an adorable little scruffy man from the Dominican Republic , Maxx , he’s my side kick! I’ve also 2 cats , one an older lady with diabetes and my other a chubby middle aged gal with urinary issues! To say I am versed in these things is and understatement. I have a real calm and even demeanor with animals and let them tell me where we stand and work from there. Currently working part time , making my pet sitting availability my top first priority. Once I learn your pets routine and what is needed from me , I work around those needs. I stay in your home. At this time I have found that to be easiest on people’s pets. Surroundings and routines stay the same and over all it’s less stress for the pet. On rare special occasions a pet can could home with me. But at this time I am not able to accommodate that.

“I’ve known Jeneva for years, and one thing that’s always stood out is her deep love and natural connection with animals. She’s owned and cared for dogs, cats, bunnies, hamsters, and I’m pretty sure chickens with so much patience, compassion, and responsibility.

If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like family, you truly couldn’t be in better hands.”
