Dog Sitting Gardner

“Amanda was amazing with our two cats! She dropped in to check on them, feed them, clean the box, and give one of our cats medicine. She always stayed to play with them and she went above and beyond to clean up after them. They loved having her around!”

About: I grew up with labs, mastiffs, collies, and shepherds. I treat my dogs better than my family at times! Play, comfort, and love are staples. I work full-time during the week, but am home most weekends with my 11 month old socialized lab. My dog receives daily exercise and active play and yours will too! I will ensure your dog’s safety and your peace of mind by taking them out on leash for walks and bathroom breaks. I value active play time and also work in rest times.

About: I have had a passion for taking care of animals since a young age. I have experience with all types of animals. I worked as a doggy daycare attendant and a veterinary assistant. I currently work at an animal shelter. I'm currently working 2 part time jobs. Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays availability with the possibility of Mondays. I'm available for dog walking, trips to the dog park and pet sitting. We do have a backyard which is not fenced in and a porch that I usually block off to let my dogs get outside for some fresh air.

About: Hello, my name is Melanie! I recently quit my job to focus on school and am looking to get back into pet care! I've grown up with a bunch of pets from dogs, and cats to more exotic animals like reptiles, ferrets, and birds. I've also worked at a pet store for 5 years, as well as my fair share of family and friends pet sitter. I currently go to school full time, and spend the rest of the time studying with my pets! In our house we have a schedule and take turns when it comes to feedings, bathroom needs, and everything in between! Personally, I own one dog myself, Kira and she likes to spend all of her time outdoors, and is a snuggle bug. Kira also eats a very specific diet as she has allergies and takes supplements. I live in a house everyone is extremely welcoming to all pets and offers a vast fenced space for playing, although I prefer to not host, pets myself. I also have training experience and focus on positive reinforcement and leash training! I'm currently in school, so I'll have plenty of time to care for your pups. I'm available weekdays. Weekends are usually open. Mondays- Anytime Tuesdays- Before 10am and After 5pm Wednesdays- Before 1:30pm and After 5pm Thursdays- before 10am and After 2pm Fridays- Before 10am and After 5pm (This will change middle of May 2026) I'm very good at following instructions and asking for clarification if needed. I always use single ingredient treats that are usually allergy friendly (lamb liver). I pride myself on being safe and respectful to everyone!

“Katrina is so nice and was a pleasure to communicate with. She helped us in a time of need and made it so easy for us. I felt really comfortable with her caring for our pet. Will definitely use her again!”

“Colin, as always, goes with the flow and follows my sassy girls' lead, while still getting them fed. I'm glad they actually had a Khloe sighting - it is a testament to Colin's perseverance in coming to feed them, regardless of the welcome Colin gets. (My shepherd mix often won't make an appearance at all). Colin is a champ! My yard lights went out and the sun was already down before feeding time came. My Miss Madeline is black and can be skiddish - not an easy playtime in the dark. With a quick heads up, Colin was ready with a flashlight and for hanging out with Mads, despite the darkness. I know she appreciated the attention. They were happy girls when I got home. Many thanks to Colin :-)”

“Elizabeth did great with both of our energetic dogs and was a very good communicator! She was very kind and knew a lot about how to handle dogs and had a very gentle personality. She is very trustworthy and we definitely hire her again!”

About: I've taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I've always been a very empathetic person and just love to wave and say hi to dogs going by. I've had dogs of all sizes. My most recent is experience with Chihuahuas. I just love them! I've raised 2 dogs from 8 weeks old. I love all stages of a dogs life, from puppy to senior. I also have experience with senior dogs who need special care and medication. I'm currently working for myself, so I have plenty of time to spend playing, caring, loving and walking with your pets. I'm available M-F 9-6 pm. I like to make sure the pet is comfortable. I want the pet to feel at home with me. The least amount of change from the pets daily activities are important for the pet to feel safe and happy.

About: I’ve been working for a company based out of Sudbury Ma for 5 years and I’m just looking for extra work :) I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, ages etc. I have worked with dogs of all temperaments as well. Would love to get to know your pet :) I work full time walking/ pet sitting for a company Monday - Friday and weekends for sitting. I’m looking to expand to some new clients! I could even bring your dog with me for the day on walks with other dogs if I’m sitting them and they would be up for it I can stay in someone’s home or have someone’s dog/ dogs stay in my home if they are friendly with other dogs as I do have my own dog

About: I have fostered dogs of all ages and health issues, have owned various breeds, have managed a boarding and daycare facility. Growing up and living with animals and my volunteer experience has taught me how to handle dogs of all backgrounds. I love all creatures and give them the love and respect they deserve. I work full time during the week but can take care of your furkid during the day and evening if you are in the Leominster, Fitchburg area. I am available on weekends and flexible with time and location. I love to hike and be outdoors so walks, runs, hikes, I'm all in for it. I am experienced and familiar with crate training if you need help and can accommodate as needed. Whatever is needed to create a safe, calm, quiet place for everyone is what I always want for my furkids.

“Mocha absolutely loves Sean. He was on time and went over and above the time he spent with Mocha. We would strongly recommend him to anyone and will use him every time”

About: Lifelong dog owner, active dog walker, and aspiring dog trainer. I have experience with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and energy levels and am passionate about canine behavior and enrichment. With over 10 years of animal welfare volunteering and experience caring for horses and farm animals, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and building trust with animals. Every walk is an opportunity to provide exercise, mental stimulation, and positive experiences for your dog. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I am active and enjoy spending time outdoors, so regular walks are already a part of my day. I have a flexible schedule and can provide dependable walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I understand that consistency is important for dogs, and I strive to be reliable, punctual, and communicative with every client. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. As a lifelong dog owner with experience caring for cats, horses, and farm animals, I understand the importance of reading animal body language and respecting each pet’s individual needs. I always follow owner instructions carefully, use secure leash handling practices, and provide plenty of positive attention during walks and visits. I’m currently working toward becoming a dog trainer, which has strengthened my understanding of canine behavior and safe handling techniques. You can trust that your pet will be treated with patience, kindness, and the same level of care I would give my own animals.

“Olivia is fantastic ! I didn't have any worries while I was away .”

About: I’ve owned pets since my daughter was young and brought her first kitten home. I’ve been helping her to walk dogs for a couple years now. I’m retired so my schedule is fairly open. It gets me walking and outside, two things I enjoy. It helps my health and makes me feel good. Happy to walk your dog! Cannot have pets stay at my house as I have a kitty cat of my own. His name is Toby and he’s a real pain in the butt! 😂

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.

“Amanda is so patient and so understanding to my badly behaved Delta. She is a pleasure to work with and is an excellent knowledgeable resource as she’s a vet assistant”

About: I’ve always loved animals and have spent many years helping friends and family take care of their pets. It’s something that brings me a lot of joy. Over the years, I’ve looked after all kinds of pets — from energetic pit bulls and bulldogs to small dogs like Shih Tzus and even cats. Sometimes I’ve stayed in people’s homes for a week or two, and other times I’ve just stopped by for walks or check-ins. I’ve also welcomed pets into my own home when friends needed someone they could trust. I have a calm, friendly personality and get along well with animals, even if we’re meeting for the first time. I’m always careful to notice when a pet might be nervous or needs some space, and I do my best to make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. My schedule is very flexible since I work a per diem job and can choose when to take shifts. This gives me plenty of time for pet sitting, walks, or overnight stays. I’m usually available on short notice, too. The only thing I plan ahead for is care for my own cat while I’m away, but that’s easy for me to arrange — so it won’t affect my availability or reliability. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible — feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddles just the way they’re used to. I make sure they feel safe and cared for while their family is away. If a pet stays in my home, I treat them like one of my own. I create a calm, cozy environment with plenty of love, attention, and playtime. I also make sure to follow any specific instructions from the owner so each pet’s needs are met. I’m gentle, patient, and understanding of different personalities — whether a pet is shy and needs space or energetic and ready to play.

About: I have been a pet owner for my whole life. I have had bunnys, dogs and cats. I love all animals and they love me. I am currently not working as of now for a little bit while I transition to something else so your dogs will have my full undivided attention. I have a fenced in big back yard where my dogs run and play. I also take them on walks and have beds for them.

“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.”

About: With several years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds, I’m passionate about providing personalized care that makes both pets and owners feel at ease. Whether it’s taking your dog on a leisurely walk, providing companionship during a pet-sitting session, or ensuring their daily routine is maintained, I approach every job with patience, love, and attention to detail. As a dedicated pet care professional, I prioritize flexibility to accommodate both your pet’s needs and your schedule. I structure my day to ensure that each pet gets the individual care they deserve. I understand that every week looks a little different, which is why I offer flexible scheduling options. Whether you need daily walks, occasional visits, or overnight care, I am happy to work with you to create a routine that fits seamlessly into your life. When you trust me with your pet, you're giving them more than just a service — you're giving them love, attention, and the comfort of knowing they're in good hands. I always ensure that all activities are suited to your pet’s size, breed, and temperament. I believe in keeping you informed. Whether through photos, messages, or video updates, I’ll share how your pet is doing during our time together. This way, you can feel connected and reassured, no matter where you are. When caring for your pet in your home, I take great care to respect your space. I follow any specific guidelines you have for your pet’s care and household rules, ensuring your home remains as you left it.
