Our home is equipped with a fireplace and heating pad to keep them warm during colder months and air conditioning to maintain a cool environment in the summer. We are happy to dress your dog in any clothing, coats or pajamas you provide and have a few extra sets on hand if needed. :) For the dogs' safety, we always keep them on a leash while outdoors in unfenced in areas, protecting them from any potential wildlife encounters. Additionally, we've made our home as accessible as possible for our small furry friends, including a little dog staircase to help them climb onto our furniture with ease.

“Sheila is great! She took care of my two dogs this evening and made them feel comfortable. One of my dogs has a severe anxiety disorder so taking him for a walk is no easy feat. She handled it and got him to walk for her. I am so grateful to Sheila for this. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs a dog walker.”

About: Several summers ago, I started taking care of dogs for members in my community, and I liked it so much I wanted to keep it going. My maturity and adaptability make me a great fit for any pet. I work Monday through Friday during the day, so I prefer to pet-sit on weekends. However, I am happy to be flexible and make something work. I have the most experience with caring for pets in a client’s home, where I can follow any routines that the pet already has. I’ve never owned a pet in my home.

About: Hello! I'm Annie, and I run a local premium pet care service with my partner Robbie. I've been professionally pet and house-sitting since 2018, though animals have always been a part of my life. I have experience with dogs of all sizes (1–85 lbs), including senior pets, pets with special needs, and those requiring medication or specialized care. Whether it’s using a crate, leash, or harness, your pet’s safety is always my top priority. You’ll notice that your pet(s) warm up to me quickly...animals tend to sense my calm, nurturing presence and years of hands-on experience. I genuinely love what I do and feel honored every time I’m trusted with such an important member of your family. I send regular photo updates during my stay so you can always feel connected and reassured. Important Note (Please Read): Moving forward, I only work with families who are comfortable with my 1-year-old daughter joining me for all pet care services. My partner, Robbie, also joins me for all overnight stays. Because of this, it’s essential that any pets I care for are well-socialized and comfortable around children and new adults. If your pet(s) have any history of reactivity or discomfort around babies, children, or unfamiliar people, I kindly ask that we do not move forward with services. Safety comes first for everyone involved. What to Expect: I typically start with a quick phone call to go over the basics. If it feels like a good fit, we then set up a meet-and-greet with your pet(s) to ensure compatibility and go over all important details (house rules, routines, medical needs, vet contacts, favorite activities, and more). These consultations usually last about 30 minutes. My goal is to make sure your pet(s) feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away, and that you feel peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. Looking forward to meeting your furry family! I run an online business with a flexible schedule, which allows me to prioritize pet care in a consistent and dependable way. I’m typically never away from the home for more than 4–5 hours at a time, and I always communicate clearly about my availability before booking. As a new mom, I will have my baby daughter with me during all pet care visits and house sitting stays. Because of this, I only work with pets who are well-socialized and comfortable around infants. When house sitting, I keep my schedule light so I can focus on your pet’s needs and provide a calm, loving environment. Pet care is not just a side gig—it’s something I love and integrate thoughtfully into my week. I work with dogs ranging from 1-85 pounds and have experience with senior pets, special needs pets, and giving medications. I am comfortable using a crate, leash, and harness for your pets safety. I ask that any specific rules in regards to safety be discussed during out meet and greet.

About: I’ve grown up around pets my entire life and have always loved caring for animals. From dogs and cats to the everyday responsibilities that come with having a pet, I’ve gained plenty of hands-on experience over the years. With my husband and our two kids ages 8 and 5, we had a cat for 16 years and recently adopted a lab mix. I’m currently a puppy parent, so I understand the patience, attention, exercise, playtime, and love required! I’ll treat your pets like they’re part of my own family and make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and affection. I am available for taking care of a dog in home, dog walks, playtime or cat visits. I am currently a stay-at-home mom and have the flexibility to provide care during the day. This includes walk, playtime and visits for love and attention. I have a fully fenced in back yard which our puppy adores.

About: I have always had a great love for animals. I am unable to own a dog where I live as it is not allowed ,but I do have a cat that’s the size of a pup.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10 years old, growing up with them as family pets and starting my own neighborhood dog walking business. I’m patient and kind and love to get to know the unique personalities of all animals. Right now I just finished up a cruise ship contract and will be free for the next few months. My schedule is open and flexible. I will care for pets in a caring and kind way and follow the instructions each owner provides. I follow instructions well and will care for all pets to the best of my ability.

About: I am great with all dogs. I love taking care of them and enjoy taking them for walks just to see how happy they are to be outside and exploring nature. Depending on your dogs personality, I would be happy to play with them or if they prefer to hangout more quietly I’ll cuddle up with them while I complete schoolwork or watch a movie. My family has had dogs my entire life so I have a lot of experience taking care of dogs. Additionally, If your dog likes playing with other dogs, I have two that love to play! I would be happy to take them with me for walks, and give them new friends (and more importantly help them get rid of all that energy). My dogs don’t travel with me all the time so if your dog isn’t a fan of others I’ll make sure to leave them at home. My hope is to give your dog attention that will make them feel safe and cared for when you are not around.

“Kaitlin is absolutely wonderful with Griffin! He loves her and really enjoys the walks they take together”

About: Animals are my passion I went to high school for veterinary science, and have worked in all aspect of the animal world, grooming, daycare, walking, sitting, and even the medical aspect. My goal is to make sure that you're pet is more than satisfied and happy as well as the YOU the owner! I currently am working on building my own pet care business, so I have a lot of time for this as it's what I am trying to build and will be my only focus. I do also own two dogs and four cats of my own so animal care is not something new for me, something that just comes easy and flows into my day naturally. I have two dogs of my own that are also extremely dog friendly as well as 4 cats that are very used to the dogs, two even think they are dogs! I have a two story duplex with a mostly fenced in yard, but I do also have super long leads screwed into the ground incase of anything. animal care is my passion and what I love to do.

About: I've had many different pets my whole life! Anything from dogs, cats, bunnies, parrots etc! I'm a big animal lover and would love to extend my care and time to more animals! I’m currently working part time hours so I have a lot of availability and free time to spend with your pet. I’m rarely out for long hours and make sure to be home when a pet is scheduled for my care. I live on a non-busy street with a big wooded yard on two acres. It's not fenced in but I have a fenced in tennis court where animals can run free if they need exercise. I have a little shih tzu who couldn't be more gentle, loving, calm, and behaved. She roams free but I have big and small crates if you prefer your pet to be in a crate. Whatever specific requests you have I'll happily follow so your pet gets the best care that you can trust.

About: I am a full-time (remote) student at UMass and dog-sitter extraordinaire! I have a lot of scheduling flexibility and I don’t mind last minute bookings. Try me. I am a student and I study remotely so have the flexibility to accommodate daily visits & drop-ins for walks, feeding/potty breaks, playtime or overnight stays. Familiarity and routine are important for your pet in your absence. I prefer to come to your pet in their home for play, feeding, walks etc. so they won’t suffer unnecessary anxiety or stress from an unfamiliar environment, whether it be for drop-ins or overnight stays.

“Alexandra is the best! Our excitable Havapoo is always very excited to see her. She calmly lets him do all his jumpy wiggles, and shortly he calms down and walks along with her. She shows up on time and keeps us posted about her schedule.”

“Owen came to walk our big Shepsky while we were out of town. My dog loved him! Owen was reliable, friendly, and clearly really good with dogs. We will definitely use him again in the future! Thank you from Timber and us!”
