This was our first time using a service and Michele was fantastic ! My social butterfly kitty came out day 1 and the shy, reclusive sisters came out day 2 - for scritches and play ! Hasn't happened for family, so I think we've found a keeper !! She did a great job and kept us posted on activity. Thanks Michele !

About: I have a great deal of in home care experience as a house cleaner/sitter, and Petsitter! I treat all clients pets as if they are my own and truly love spending time with each and every one of them. I am a stay at home mom and my husband is home all winters, so my schedule is extremely flexible! If your dog needs socialization, my dog can come on walks or playdates to help with exercise and stimulation. I’m more than happy to play with your dogs in home, or take them on long walks or play dates with my pup! I’ll sit on the floor and play with your kitty as long as they desire!

About: I’ve always had dogs in my life and love spending time with them. I’ve cared for my own pets for years, including raising and training my current dog, who is now four years old. I’m experienced with daily routines like feeding, walks, playtime, administering medications if applicable, and I always treat animals with love and respect. While most of my experience is personal, I bring a reliable and caring approach to every pet as if they were my own! I work from home four days a week, and I am usually local on weekends, so my schedule is flexible. I’m home throughout the day and can provide potty breaks when needed and playtime during lunch hour and in the evenings. My schedule makes it easy to pop by during lunch or evenings to check in, feed, and give some love and attention as needed. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I have a labrador retriever who gets along with other animals and a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play. I keep a close eye on all pets, maintain their usual routines, and make sure they feel comfortable and loved.

Traci was amazing with our cat for the week we were away. He is a shy one and she handled him perfectly, gave him his space, and made sure he was well taken care of. We couldn’t have had a better experience!

About: I’ve had a dog in my life for as long as I can remember, so caring for animals comes naturally to me. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, because I know they’re not just animals—they’re family. What sets me apart is the care and attention I give to each pet as if they were my own. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, from playful puppies who need structure and training to senior dogs who require patience, comfort, and sometimes medication. I’m very in tune with animal behavior and always aim to make pets feel safe, loved, and at ease. Whether your dog loves belly rubs, long walks, or just a calm companion, I adapt to their needs to ensure they’re happy and well cared for. I work three days a week as a nursing assistant at South Shore Hospital, and on my days off, I love spending my extra time caring for animals. Pet care has always been a natural part of my life since I’ve grown up with dogs, and I enjoy staying active and being around animals whenever I can. On the days I’m not at the hospital, I’m fully available for walks, drop-ins, or boarding—whatever your pet needs. I’m responsible, attentive, and used to managing schedules, so I make sure every pet gets the care and consistency they deserve. This is something I genuinely enjoy doing, and I’m excited to spend my free time helping pets feel happy, safe, and loved. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow all instructions closely so your pet feels safe and comfortable in their own space. I stick to their usual routine—feeding, walking, playtime, and anything else they need—so things feel familiar and stress-free for them. If I’m watching pets in my own home, I create a calm and cozy environment. I keep things clean and make sure they have space to relax, play, and feel at home. I only take in a small number of pets at a time so I can give each one plenty of attention and care. No matter where I’m caring for your pet, I treat them like they’re my own—with love, patience, and lots of belly rubs.

About: I have been an animal care manager for five years. I oversee all care for various different species ensuring they are all receiving the best care possible and to protocol. I have also volunteered at a local shelter for the past two years, which has led me to do lots of pet sitting outside of the shelter from fellow volunteers. I have also done lots of semi-feral cat socialization in foster homes to help aid stray cats into becoming adoptable. I have free availability at the moment which makes me very flexible in terms of pet care. I am willing to work with you for any times that you need! I can easily adapt to any routine you may have with your fur baby. I follow directions well and love the pets as if they were my own.

About: I am a Pomeranian dog mom who has raised my fur child Oreo since he was 8 weeks! I’m experienced with new puppies and adult dogs. I’m available to take your fur child on walks, spend quality time, play, and do mental health check ins (check in and make sure they’re not too sad while you’re away for the day). My schedule is currently flexible so I can assist as needed by you! I prefer mornings and late afternoons but can accommodate other time slots with some advance notice. I currently have my own small dog and watch him attentively. At my home I have dog stairs and gates to ensure he is safe at all times. While watching your fur child I will provide the same love, care and diligence.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and I’m well educated on them. I’ve also worked at a doggy daycare so learned lots of tips and tricks. I have my own dog named Finley who is a mini Australian shepherd. I would love to help attend and take care of your fur babies!! I’ve decided I want to switch my job and do something I love more which is to be with animals! I have lots of free time coming up and would love to spend it with more dogs! I have a big yard, and live on a bog which means lots of fun walks and adventures! My dog loves running and being outside playing fetch, and I would of course do any dogs favorite thing such as walks, swims, fetch, and more! My dog gets crated as needed, and of course if your fur baby is under my care then I will be going by your rules and how you prefer things for your dog.
