House Sitting in Gardner

“Julisa was wonderful - she stayed in frequent contact, sent pictures and, when our rascal of a dog breached the fence and ran off, she immediately got on the phone with me and we tracked him down at a neighbor’s house. I know what a terrible feeling that is when watching someone else’s furry babies and Julisa handled it so well.”

“Another wonderful stay with Taylor! Teddy seemed very happy when we returned but also very comfortable with Taylor. This was the first time we had a non family member stay with him overnight and I believe it went very well. Taylor kept us informed of her plans and how Teddy was doing throughout the stay. She kept his routine the same and took great care of our boy and our house. So glad we found her. Such a relief to have someone we trust and Teddy loves.”

“Meaghon was wonderful to work with! Incredibly responsive and my brood loved spending the weekend with her. We were very fortunate to have found her and can’t wait to book future trips knowing our babies will be in the best of hands!”

“Katrina is amazing! It was such a relief to know that our little guy was in good hands when we had to be away from him for the day. She followed his med and feeding schedule and checked in throughout the day, which I loved. Didn’t take long before Teddy calmed down and let her rub his belly after we left. She was also very respectful of our home and wishes. Thank you! We look forward to working with you again.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs my entire life, from childhood through adulthood. I’ve looked after my own dogs as well as my mom’s and other family members’ dogs, giving me experience with different breeds, energy levels, and routines. I’m active and enjoy walks—especially longer walks for dogs who need extra exercise or endurance. I’m detail-oriented, follow owner instructions closely, and understand how important consistency is. I also have experience administering medication and providing attentive, reliable care. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and routine always come first As a parent, I maintain a reliable and flexible schedule. I am consistently available during school hours every week. In addition, on alternating weeks, I have open availability Monday through Sunday, allowing for extended care, walks, and last-minute requests during those weeks. Your pet’s safety comes first. I’m detail-oriented with medications and care instructions and always follow owner guidelines closely. I choose safe environments for walks and play and care for every animal with patience, attentiveness, and the same level of responsibility I would give my own.

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.

“Jaylin did an awesome job taking care of my dogs and home while I was away. Highly recommend!!”

About: I’m a very responsible and loving pet owner. Have rescued many pets and now have found myself with some free time and would love to help new pets and people! With notice, I am completely free on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays & Sundays. (Monday, Tuesday & Friday I can be available for a few hours in the am) I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space to play and a kiddie pool to cool off in! I have three very friendly doggos myself but plenty of space so they can be kept separate if you desire.

“Amanda has been amazing! She’s done a couple of drop-ins for me to give my cat her medication, and did a long weekend stay at my house. She left my place in the same state it was in when I left, and provided updates at the end of each visit.”

“Colin took care of my rescue pup, Annie, a black lab mix with special needs, for an extended stay after a previous sitter had to cancel at the last minute. You could tell right off what a pet lover he was. He asked many good questions at the meet and greet, was punctual and handled Annie’s energy well on a leash. Colin sent me pictures and multiple daily updates on how she was doing. Giving her daily meds, tennis ball play times and long walks to help with her anxiety were part of a daily routine. I came home to a tired and happy pup. I would highly recommend Colin to anyone needing pet sitting services! Jain & Annie”

“Mallory was great with both our dog and cat . She sent pics to us. I would highly recommend her to watch your fury friends”

About: I have loved animals my entire life, and have owned dogs since I was 10 (after begging my parents for years). I helped raise and train them both from puppies, and am more than willing to help your pup learn the basics! I’m very good with shy or sensitive animals, so send your misunderstood babies my way! I am a nursing student at Fitchburg State, so I am typically available after 3pm on weekdays, with some early morning availability. I am flexible and happy to work with you to find times that fit both of our schedules. I have a car with me at school, so getting to and from your home won’t be an issue. I am happy to walk and feed, as well as change litter boxes/puppy pads as needed. My top priority is making sure your pets feel loved, safe, and well cared for while you’re gone.

“Jeffrey is trustworthy and supportive. My fur babies love him. He will be back to babysit at the end of the month. We can’t wait to have him again. Thank you so much for your love and kindness to Bella and Coco.”

“Thank you Sarah for taking such great care of our girl. We came home to a very happy girl. We received lots of updates and photos. This was Sarah’s first stay with Sadie, but definitely won’t be the last!”

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: We have a great fenced back yard, it is divided in two different areas providing a better environment according to your pet's need, where your dog can enjoy a sand box, trampoline and even swim in the pool like our dog does(if he is used to it). If he enjoys to run and play our half acre yard should be a great option. In our home your pet will sleep with our dog and have the same attention we provide her. We also have a nice basement where Molly plays when raining and 2 dog kennels outside that she uses to take naps when she wants(door stays open all the time) with plenty space and all the comfort necessary, but she usually prefers to run free and play in the yard the entire day. One thing is for sure: your pet will be loved and treated as part of our family, having lots of fun with our kids, something he will not be able to get at a regular "dog hotel". We do ask the owner's that all dogs are groomed prior to the boarding/daycare. We also board other pets like birds, turtles, guinea pig, etc. Because we do not have a huge house eventually, depending on the number of dogs we may have on a certain day, we cannot accept big dogs like German Shepherd or dogs around the same size and weight. We do require a MEET AND GREET for new dogs. I have been a trainer for over 30 years. My kids do homeschool so your pet will not be alone. There's always someone around. Also my wife only leaves to work if Iam home. I have a friendly dog, Molly, that will play with your dog the entire day and besides that my two kids love to interact with all the pets we have around. I have been a dog trainer for over 30 years and I am happy I have been able to be around them my entire life. My entire family loves dogs.

I am very attentive and love spending quality time with animals and I’ll send lots of pictures. This is your baby you tell me what you need!!

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs big and small. I am a pet lover working on my veterinary technician course and have four dogs myself, a lab pit mix, Doberman, and two Aussies. From small teacup breeds to large working dogs, I can handle it all! I am trusted by neighbors, friends, and family members to take care of their cats and dogs! I’m currently only working part time so I have a flexible schedule and lots of time to spend with your beloved pet! I go for daily walks or hikes so you can expect your pet to tag along with me. I can easily crate your dog if needed and provide a safe and comfortable space. I am familiar with dogs who are a flight risk and take precaution.

About: I have had indoor cats for the past 24 years. I have pet sat for dogs and cats personally. I have house sat twice for a dachshund and doberman. These were contacts from my mom’s pet sitting job years ago. I had a beta fish for about 3 years. I can walk and play with the dogs and cats, feed them, etc. I will provide what is going on and what is being done, sharing pictures and videos as much is wanted. I currently work full time Monday through Friday. I can work from anywhere. I am available evenings during the week and available on the weekend. This is a side hustle and to offer some help for anyone that need it. We have a dog and a cat. We aren’t sure how our dog and cat would be to other pets in our home. I am happy to come to yours. Whatever is needed.

“Great communication and appreciate the flexibility!”
