About: Hi, my wife Ali and I have been boarding and walking dogs for years. We have 3 small dogs and 1 parrot of our own. We live in a large apartment that is very dog friendly and with a very nice brand new dog park in our complex. My wife is always home as she works from home and I work overnight so your pet will never be alone. We love to care for all dogs or other animals! We have 2 young children so your dog must be good around kids as well. If you have any questions please message me. Unfortunately at the time we are not excepting any large breeds (dogs that stand really tall on 4 legs) unless they are a small puppy and are 35lbs or less. We are am extremely flexible with pet schedules, as of right now we bring our own dogs out every 3-4 hours for potty breaks and playtime outdoors. I visit our dog park a minimum of 3x a day. We seem to be the only ones who really utilize it. We use the Fenced in dog park in our complex for free unleashed play and the dogs really love it and it has fun dog equipment and fresh dog water bubbler.

“Erin was great! She was very prompt, gave pictures and videos each day, spent great time with our dog, gentle and kind to him. She communicated often with prompt responses. Would definitely recommend her and looking forward to hiring her again.”

“Connie walked my dog for 3 weeks as I was travelling out of country. She is an amazing walker and my dog loved walking with her. Very good experience overall. I would definitely recommend Connie to anyone looking for a caring walker.”

About: I’ve taken care of numerous dogs since the age of 16. I have experience with all breeds and energy levels, and love them all. I treat all dogs as if they are my own :) I am currently studying to take my licensure exam to become an OT, so I am very available at the moment. I am free any time Monday-Friday! As long as I get enough notice I don’t mind walking your pup any time!☺️ Just let me know if your dog has any specific requirements in order for me to take the best care of them as possible! I am happy to accommodate you and make you more comfortable in any way that I can!

“Allison was great with our older female German Shepherd! We hired her for daily walks during the week when our regular walker was on vacation. Allison was very kind and friendly with Bella while still taking command; she took care to walk her slowly and in the shade when it was hot as well as on long brisk walks when the weather was nice. She also is mature, dependable and very pleasant to work with. Always exceptionaly quick communication. Would definitely look to her first in the future.”

About: I have been overnight house sitting and providing pet care for dogs and cats for different families for the past three years. I’d love to continue to do so. Right now, I am free to dog sit everyday. I also babysit occasionally on weekdays and weekends. I will find time in my schedule to help families out. I am located in Franklin, MA and Amherst, MA. I have worked with relief foster for service dogs at UMass for the past two years. I love working on training or just getting to play with some animals. When I’m caring for your pet—whether it’s during a walk or while house-sitting—I treat your home and your furry friend with the utmost respect and care. I follow your instructions closely to maintain your pet’s routine and environment, keeping things familiar and stress-free. During walks, I use secure leashes and harnesses, avoid unsafe areas, and stay alert to ensure your pet’s safety at all times. For house-sitting, I keep your home tidy, lock up securely, and provide updates so you always know how things are going. Trust and transparency are key—I’m here to give you peace of mind while you’re away.

“Talia has been great with my dog and you can tell she is a animal lover. Very responsive and responsible. Shadow has a lot of energy and Talia handles with with great care. Like he’s her own. 10 out of 10 recommend.”

About: Hello!! I am Kelsey and I have being taking care of dogs and cats regularly for over 6 years now. (The dream job) I have also been around and cared for my own pets: cats, dogs, and even guinea pigs since I can remember. I am someone who will treat your pet with the same level of love, kindness, and understanding that I would with my own! I’m here to lovingly care for your pets. While always making sure their safety is high priority. I currently am lucky enough to have a sweet 4 year old female husky named Piper. She is an absolutely joy❤️ I want to note Piper does not come with me on pet sitting bookings. My roommate is able to watch her while I’m away. My neighbors and family members have always relied on me when going on vacation to take care of their pets overnight for extended periods of time. I would always be the first to volunteer! I have been responsible for the care of both cats and dogs. Also, I have experiencing caring for a variety of different size dogs: from a 100 pound gentle giant Saint Bernard to a 6 pound sweet munchkin Chihuahua. I do have experience taking care of reactive dogs, as well as walking reactive dogs in public places. (I have a lot of compassion for the misunderstood pups 🥰). I try to make sure to keep them safe, and at ease. Also I make sure to learn as much about your pet(s) to try and give I also have experience taking care of elderly dogs and cats. Alongside this, I have administered oral medication, at the pet parents' request and instruction, to dogs before. Keeping your pet happy with love and praise, and always safe is my priority. Your fur babies will get lots of cuddles and play time, as I am a pride myself on being an affectionate and gentle pet caretaker. Thank you for considering to entrust me with the care of your fur baby. ❤️ As a pet owner myself, I truly understand the importance of having peace of mind that your pet is in good hands. I sincerely look forward to meeting you both! 🐾 I currently work full- time at a nonprofit organization. I do primarily work from home and I am able to be very flexible with care during the ‘work day’ and flex my hours during the week. Which really does allow me ample opportunities to be available and fit in pet care during throughout day. Also this gives me the flexibility to work from your home if you are comfortable with that, so I can extend my care time with your four legged friend as much as possible! I am very easy going and willing to try and be flexible with my schedule. Typically Monday-Friday I am available consistently after 4pm or before 10am for drop ins and dog walks. I also have flexibility during the ‘work’ day hours for multiple drop ins and walks or good old fashion cuddle time with your fur babies. If you are comfortable with this, I’d be happy to work remotely from your home so I can extend my stay with your pets for as long as possible. I am also available for house sitting and pet care overnight. I can be quite flexible with dates for overnights. I have experience watching pets over the course of multiple weeks at a time. So if you’re headed out on a long vacation, I have experience with pet care of an extended period. On the weekends, Saturday through Sunday, I have a lot of open time/ flexibility and open hours to be available to take care of your pet(s)! I try my best to keep my calendar up to date, however if you see a day marked unavailable that you are looking for help on, please still feel free to message me. I’ll make it work with your schedule! ☺️ Trust and safety may be the two most important aspects of pet care. To ensure this with those I work with, I make sure, before any pet care job especially if they are a new client, to ask the important questions. Examples being, to ask if there are any medical conditions I should be aware, dietary restrictions, exercise preferences, and the list can go on. So I can understand how best to take care of your pet and meet their needs. Also to build trust with you as the owner, so you can have peace of mind that your fur baby is in good hands. I prioritize the wishes of the owner for how they want their pet cared for. I have a secure, fenced in backyard at home if you would want me to care your fur baby in my home. Also while working in client's homes I make sure to not only of course take care of your pet, but to also take care and respect your home. Typically I make sure, specifically dogs, get out to play and go for walks, while also making sure to give lots of cuddles and positive encouragement. My goal is to make sure your pet gets the loving care, consistent attention, and safe environment they need!

“Amanda was wonderful with Sadie. I appreciated how thorough she was and her attention to detail. Sadie's safety and well-being were of utmost priority. Amanda was very professional and knows a lot about dogs. I felt very comfortable with Sadie in her care. I will definitely use her services again.”

About: I have experience caring for both cats and dogs! I have worked (and lived) with mean cats and know how to handle reactive dogs as well. I’m working part time, with plenty of free time on Thursdays, Fridays, and most Saturdays. I would also be available to care for any furry friends early morning and later nights on Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays as well! I will show your pets plenty of love and care. I follow any instructions provided by the owner and make sure when I leave the pet is safe and secure and has been loved.

About: Growing up in wild and wonderful West Virginia, I worked on a family farm and took care of friend’s and family’s pets. So it was natural that I developed an affection for animals. I fell in love with my own dog, a Labrador Retriever, at 16 and named him Bucks! I’ve taken care of many different types of animals besides cats and dogs, such as Guinea pigs, chickens, iguanas, sugar gliders and more! In recent years, I was employed in a dog boarding and training facility called ‘The Happy Retriever.’ Then I was able to gain more pet care experience working for another pet sitting business named ‘Heart and Paws Pet Sitting.’ I am presently a proud member of Pet Sitters International, thru which I have completed Pet First Aid & CPR training and have ongoing education in pet care! Sunday - Saturday I’m a proud business owner and a full time pet sitter! I love all the furry friends I get to make in all sizes and continue my pet behavior and wellness education so I can provide the best care possible! I keep my visits with your pets as close to their usual routine as possible and I treat them as you would! Sometimes a different route for a walk is a good thing and builds confidence in your pet! It all depends on your pet’s needs and everyone’s comfort! I would like to see your pet be healthy and self confident! I have pet sitting insurance as well! Scheduling meet and greets before any services is the best way we can go over the routine and build trust with you and your pet!

“Cooper enjoyed his walks with Alexandra , because he went with her the second day without hesitation . He loves being outside. I'm sorry it rained those 2 days and it was kind of miserable. Alexandra saved me, because I'm sick and didn't have the energy to walk Cooper.”
