“Very responsive and sent a lot of photos every day. They stayed an extra hour later than we had discussed because I was getting back from the airport late. The house was clean and the dogs were happy. Would definitely book again!”
About: I grew up with dogs and cats my whole life. While this is my first time pet sitting professionally, I’m very comfortable with animals and take their care seriously. I have experience trimming cat claws, and I’m confident handling both playful and shy pets with patience and care. You can trust me to treat your furry family members like my own! I work remotely from home M - T & Th - Friday. I’m free on the weekends. I am happy to stop by to check in with your pets, feed, walk, and give medications. I am also able to stay your house as well. I treat every pet and home with the same respect and care I’d want for my own. I follow instructions closely, keep the space clean and secure, and make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I also like to meet with pet owners beforehand to learn about their pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so I can provide the best possible care.
“Julia was very great with our pets! She was available to watch them on short notice and took very good care of them. She was especially good with our dog who can be anxious with new people, would definitely recommend her services to others!”
“Nikki was wonderful with our Ollie. From the first minute, I knew she was a good dog person, and she kept us well informed about how he was doing throughout our time away. Definitely will use her again. Thank you.”
“Emily was fantastic and exactly what I needed after my existing plans fell through. She stepped up with little notice and did a great job of taking care of Daisy for me. Thank you again!”
“The hardest part of going away is not being able to bring your pets. I am grateful to Brittany and her great care of my pets AND my home while I was away. I was able to enjoy my time knowing that my pets were being well cared for.”
“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 have been taking care of pets for friends and family for the last 5 years and it’s always been a welcome opportunity as I was never allowed to have pets growing up. I love nature so long dog walks are never boring. I also have experience petsitting so I’ll make sure your pet is never lonely. I am able to stay with your pet all day and on weekends as well. The longest I would be out is 4 hours, but that would be very intermittent. I’m respectful of clients’ homes and I want the pet to be as comfortable as possible. If the pet makes a mess I will be sure to clean it as soon as possible and the return the place to how it looked before if not cleaner.
“Megan did an awesome job taking care of our cat and dog for the weekend. She was a great communicator with us and home and pets looked perfect when we came home! Will love to use her again in the future.”
“Caroline was great. She was a great communicator and very nice. She sent pictures of the girls every time she went. When we got home from our trip the girls seemed happy and well taken care of. Would definitely use her again.”
“Our pups had a great time with Jamie! She sent us pictures and updates daily. The house was pristine when we got home. We will certainly be asking Jamie to come and stay with our pups again!”
About: I have experience with small dogs and multiple types of cats. I am very excited to meet your loved pet! I am compassionate, detail oriented, and a quick learner - your pet is in good hands! I am available most days of the week for walks or stopping-in to take care of your pet when needed. I am based in Groton MA and able to make a short trip to help out! I will take your pet on walks, take them out for potty breaks, and give them lots of love and affection! I take my job seriously and give my undivided attention to your pet.
“Sam went above and beyond for us! She was a fantastic communicator being sure to ask questions and send much appreciated updates. She even noticed our pups ear infection and sent samples to her vet to get addressed before we got home. We could not recommend Sam’s services enough!!”
“Stef rocks! She was an excellent communicator and responsive during the booking process and sitting. She took excellent care of our 3 month old puppy and our home while we were away. It was such a relief to have Stef to care for my pup!”
About: I love to work with animal, I’ve been in the veterinary profession for 10+ years. If your pet has special care instructions I will follow them perfectly. I have dogs, cats, and horses at home so I am very comfortable working with all sizes of animals. I also know how to care for birds, fish, guinea pigs, and hamsters and pigs. I know how much a pet can mean to someone so ill will care for yours as if they were my own I currently work 4 days a week. I am available Fridays to Sunday’s if you are looking for a weekend getaway or if you have a busy weekend and would like your dog to go for a walk I don’t offer in my home dog services but can offer cat or small animal boarding. You tell me home you’d like your pet cared for, weather it’s taking them for a walk or just letting them out in a fenced in area
