About: Hello, Please let me introduce myself. My name is Jan, and I have tons of experience both personal and professional taking care of pets. Whether it’s been week long overnight stays in the pet owners residence or my own, dog walking for several pet owners for a mid-day walk or just stopping in to feed pets and spend quality time, I’ve done it all with love and enthusiasm. I am also a doting grandmother to 3 wonderful doggies and a cat. My sweet cat, Bella, passed away a few months ago and I miss her terribly. I’m a single woman, reliable and trustworthy. I can provide several recommendations from past customers and friends/family in which I have provided an excellent service to their pets. You won’t be disappointed.

“Danielle arrived on time to house sit our dog. My dog immediately warmed up to her. We were running late and Danielle stayed until we came back. She has a passion in caring for pets and we would definitely use her again.”
“Ann did a fantastic job. I couldn't ask for any better sitter. In my home with my two little pomeranians. She stayed in contact with me. And showed me pictures and videos, i got a little jealous that they absolutely loved her more than me. Lol. Ann is very dependable, and I'd be crazy not to use her services again. I know my pups were loved.”
“Lauren is amazing! She took such good care of our pups, one who is a rescue and gets very anxious, especially during rain storms, which happened while Lauren was dog sitting. Lauren did everything possible to help Wynona feel less stressed and sent me updates and photos while we were away. Not only did Lauren take excellent care of the dogs, she also took good care of our house and even washed her sheets before leaving. 5+ stars!!”
About: Your pets safety and happiness is my top priority. I have experience working in multiple doggy daycares, volunteering at a cat shelter, and pet sitting for friends and family. I am familiar with all types of breeds, big & small, energetic, couch potato, reactive and non reactive. Helping animals has always been a great passion of mine and I strive for new challenges to face. I currently work PT as a Dietary Aid making my schedule very limited monday’s, thursdays and every other weekends. I have more availability on the other days of the week, (walks, drop in visits, and overnight care). Dogs tend to be more comfortable in their own homes so I provide those services to ensure the happiness and safety of all. For every visit, I bring a pet first aid kit, extra leashes, towels, treats, water/water bowls, tick removal kit, pooper scooper, etc. Your pet will receive the spoiled treatment with me!
“Julia was a wonderful sitter for our puppy Millie. She had very good communication from the start, was prompt, and took great care of our dog. Photos were sent of our happy puppy playing with toys and playing outside. She obviously enjoys spending time with dogs and we’d be lucky to have her watch Millie again.”
About: I have a deep love and respect for all animals. I’ve always lived with pets - cats and dogs. I’m experienced caring for the pets of my family and friends. I am a runner and take my own dog all the time. Happy to take your four-legged friend along as well! I currently work as an EMS dispatcher overnights Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I have flexibility on my off days, and can manage some hours between my night shifts at the end of the week as needed. If you need help during hours I do not look available, please reach out and ask. I am happy to meet your schedule needs when possible! I do not offer overnight services typically, but have on a case by case basis. In addition to walks and drop ins, I do home care during the day in clients’ homes.

About: Have had 3 dogs and many other species of pets all my life. Am available almost all the time for pet care and happy to spend lots of time with your pets. Great with walking or indoor sitting. Have lots of spare time to dedicate to your pets and happy to help all days of the week. Can visit at all times of day. Can easily and gracefully handle all breeds of dogs or cats and can deal with multiple dogs at a time indoors or out doors if needed.
About: I’ve been working with dogs since I was 14. I went to an agricultural high school for small animal science in Dighton MA, where I got to work hands on in doggy daycare, grooming and more, with dogs of all ages! I have been a dog sitter for many pets and I think it is such a fun experience! I am very comfortable with going on walks with your pet, as well as in house pet sitting. I am able to visit and offer walks 2-3 times a day, depending on my schedule. I am in college for Pre-Veterinary science and I have a passion for working with animals. I will guarantee the the best paw-sible care for your pet and treat them as my own! I am currently a college student in Maine and live in Massachusetts. I am available over the summer and on breaks. I am available on Tuesdays and on weekends. I have a fenced in back yard and two friendly dogs. If I’m going to someone else’s home, I make sure to let the dog know I am there to make sure I don’t startle them. I also will give them time to adjust because meeting new people may be difficult for some dogs.
“We have a high energy puppy who requires a lot of attention and exercise. We also recently had moved and had some anxiety with leaving our dog and new home and Breno and Meghan did an amazing job caring for our pup, giving us updates and making it easy for us to have peace of mind on our trip. Will definitely be asking them to come back.”

Janice B.
“Janice saved a very important trip for me five years ago, and she has kept my two small dogs several times since then. I had planned a trip to France to visit with new in-laws and become better acquainted. I hired a dog sitter and thought all details were in place, when, two days before I was due to leave, the new pet sitter informed me that she could not stay with my dogs, but would look in on them every day. I was stunned. This was not the arrangement we’d made and I didn’t know what to do. Someone mentioned that Janice was reliable and honest, and she loved dogs. Of course I called her immediately. She came over to meet my dogs the next days, and within half an hour I had hired her. She was amazing. The dogs were very well cared for while I was gone. They were happy and healthy, clean and energetic. They’d obviously had a vacation too. After that trip Janice has been our go to sitter. The dogs are deliriously happy when they see her, and that makes my leaving a lot easier. Call her immediately. You can rest assured that your dog will be loved and cared for, and will have great fun while you’re away.”
