Pet Sitting Hanover

About: As a pet owner myself, I am dedicated to providing exceptional pet care with a focus on love, attention, and playtime. Let me be your pet’s favorite companion while you're away! I currently work full-time during the week, but I’m available on weekends for pet care services! I’m happy to help with walks, drop-in visits or overnight stays. I always make sure your pets get plenty of attention and care while you’re away! I take great pride in ensuring my dog and cat receive the love, attention, and exercise they need to thrive. From daily walks and bathroom breaks to playtime and cuddles, I prioritize their well-being above all else. With my experience and genuine love for animals, I'm committed to providing the same level of care and attention to your pets as I do my own, ensuring they're happy, healthy, and well-cared for in your absence.

“It was such a relief to know Rachel was stopping by twice a day to check on my cat. It was my first time leaving him and I felt really bad. This was very helpful. I will definitely reach out again whenever I need to leave town in the future.”

About: With more than 15 years of hands-on experience in the canine industry, I bring far more than a love for dogs to every service I provide. I’m the owner and founder of The Canine Legacy LLC, a professional canine care and education business, as well as the founder and owner of Dog Moms of the South Shore, a community of over 5,000 local dog owners. I’ve invested thousands of dollars into my professional education, certifications and continuing development because I believe exceptional canine care begins with knowledge, experience and an understanding of each dog’s individual needs. My professional background includes formal education through CATCH Canine Trainers Academy, Pet CPR and First Aid certification, and ongoing studies in canine behavior, training and nutrition. I’ve successfully completed my CATCH coursework and examinations and am currently completing the final hands-on mentorship requirements. I specialize in positive reinforcement-based training, canine body language, enrichment, socialization, confidence building, leash reactivity and individualized care. I’m experienced with dogs of various breeds, ages, temperaments and behavioral needs, including puppies, senior dogs and those requiring additional patience or specialized handling. Through The Canine Legacy, I provide professional dog walking, structured walks, enrichment sessions, drop-in visits, training, and individualized canine services. My business is registered and insured, and I’m committed to maintaining high standards of safety, professionalism and communication. I understand that trusting someone with your dog and access to your home is a significant decision. My goal is to provide dependable, knowledgeable and compassionate care while giving you complete confidence that your dog is in capable hands. Every dog deserves care tailored to their individual personality, needs and lifestyle. I look forward to getting to know yours! As the owner and operator of The Canine Legacy LLC, professional pet care is an integral part of my daily routine. Unlike someone offering pet sitting as a side job, I’ve built my career around providing dependable, individualized care to pets and their families. I manage my own schedule, allowing me to accommodate a variety of needs, including regularly scheduled walks, drop-in visits, puppy care, enrichment sessions and occasional last-minute requests when availability permits. I understand the importance of consistency, particularly for pets who thrive on established routines. I work closely with each client to develop a schedule that accommodates their pet’s individual needs while prioritizing reliability, flexibility and quality care. Whether you need ongoing services or occasional assistance, I’m happy to discuss your needs and determine how I can best accommodate your pet and your schedule. Your pet’s safety, comfort and well-being are always my highest priorities. With over 15 years of professional experience, formal education in canine behavior and training, and Pet CPR and First Aid certification, I bring a knowledgeable, proactive approach to every visit. As the owner of a registered and insured pet care business, I take my responsibilities seriously and maintain high standards of professionalism, safety and communication. I provide care in my clients’ homes, where pets can remain comfortable in their familiar surroundings and maintain their established routines. I carefully follow all feeding instructions, exercise requirements, medication directions and household preferences provided by each owner. I believe in positive reinforcement, enrichment and individualized care. I’m experienced in recognizing canine body language and adjusting my approach to accommodate different personalities, temperaments and behavioral needs. For cats, I prioritize respecting their boundaries, minimizing stress and allowing interactions to happen at their comfort level. I take additional precautions during walks, outdoor activities and home visits, including checking equipment, securing doors and gates, and remaining attentive to environmental hazards. I also understand the trust involved in allowing someone into your home. I treat every client’s property with the utmost respect and provide consistent communication, updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable and receiving exceptional care. My goal is simple: to provide the same level of care, attention and respect that I would expect for my own pets.

“Excellent communication and punctuality. She was great with Ollie”

Michael V.

“I had an excellent experience with this dog sitter! She was not only friendly and prompt but also extremely attentive to my dog's needs. I felt confident leaving my furry friend in their care knowing they would receive great attention and care. I highly recommend Jacqueline to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable caretaker for their pet.”

Priya M.

“Absolutely. I’d make it a little warmer and more polished while keeping it natural: Emily did an amazing job taking care of my two pups while I was away for two weeks. She was very communicative whenever something needed my attention, but was also incredibly independent and trustworthy in caring for them. It was clear from the start that she genuinely loves animals, and I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in her care. I would absolutely recommend Emily!”

Karen M.

“Julia was fantastic!”

Catherine J.

“We are so happy to have found Madison! From our initial meet and greet, it was clear that she is timely, asks great questions, is diligent, and is an animal lover at heart. She dropped in while we were away for a wedding in the city, and everything went seamlessly. She followed all of our instructions, and when we returned, it was obvious that our dog and cat had been well cared for. We will absolutely be reaching out to Madison again!”

About: I have taken care of dogs of multiple sizes and breeds from the age of 8. I have always been a natural dog lover! Although newer to cats, my experience in the field of ABA has made me patient, dependable, and attentive to behavior and routines. I follow instructions carefully and provide calm, compassionate, and individualized care, no matter the population or demographic I am working with! I am currently in my masters program for applied behavior analysis, gaining my fieldwork for ABA. I have flexible hours and often have availability periodically throughout the day! If communicated prior, I am easily able to accommodate most schedules. I communicate with the owner to ensure I understand each pet’s routine, providing feeding, walks, play, or medication all as directed, as each pet has their own individual needs! My priory is to maintain attention while keeping the clients home clean and secure.

About: I have watched dogs all sizes, breeds, and personalities since I was 16 for neighbors, friends, and family. I have fed pets, taken pets for walks, and hung with them. I do work full time but I’m around weekends, week nights, Thursdays, and Tuesday mornings. I have two dogs myself so I know how to manage time. I can crate your dog, make sure they are in a comfortable environment, make a close relationship with our dog and have no danger around them.

About: As a former veterinary receptionist, I’ve had 3 years of experience helping care for dogs and cats. Now pursuing art, I’m looking to continue to help take care of pets. I’m currently working on pursuing my art career, so my schedule is pretty open for drop ins or walks. I’m occasionally available for in-house pet sitting. In the part few years, I’ve developed a real heart for animals. Pet care is so important, giving a voice to those who can’t speak.

“I trust her with my dog and two kitties - that says it all! I can see in all the photos she sends that they love to see her when she cares for them! She even made sure to clean up messes the kitties made on the rug while I was traveling. Her honest and timely communication is very appreciated. Highly recommend Madeline!”

About: I've had dogs my whole life. I have experience with puppies through seniors and small to large dogs. I have a lot of flexibility with my time and can be available as needed. Happy to take dogs on walks or care in their own home. I am a stay at home parent, so I have a lot of flexibility for times I'm able to help out. I'm happy to work around whatever your schedule and needs are. I am very good at reading a dogs mood and cues for their needs. I can tailor my care for the needs of each individual pet. Whether they are more comfortable being inside their own home, like to play in the backyard, or go for walks in the park, I can guarantee they will have a great time and feel safe.

“Jordan was literally a lifesaver. I initially hired her to come check on my cat a few times a day while I was across the country, but after a disaster with another pet sitter she ended up caring for my five month old puppy Scout too. My puppy can be quite a handful, but Jordan did everything possible to care for her. She went way above and beyond taking care of both of my pets, including regularly carrying Scout up a steep flight of stairs because she can’t climb them well. I got plenty of updates and pictures and never once doubted my pets were in great hands. She even brought my cat some new toys, which he’s been batting around for hours. I can’t begin to express how much I appreciate her care and attention in an emergency situation, and I know my pets feel the same way.”

About: Becoming a dog mom in January 2026 has taught me so much about caring for puppies and understanding their unique needs. Over the past several months, I've gained experience with potty training, crate training, daily walks, feeding schedules, socialization, enrichment, and all the energy and love that comes with raising a puppy. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet because I would want the same for my own dog. I'm patient, dependable, and attentive to each dog's personality and routine. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners confidence that their furry family member is in good hands. I work full-time on a hybrid schedule, with three days working from home each week. Because I have a young puppy of my own, I spend much of my free time at home and maintain a flexible routine. This allows me to provide attentive care, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. My puppy is still learning and can be a little shy around new dogs at first, but she is friendly and typically becomes more comfortable with proper introductions and time to adjust. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. As a puppy owner, I understand the importance of consistency, patience, and close supervision. I carefully follow each pet's routine, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions. My puppy is friendly but can be a little nervous around new dogs initially, so I take introductions slowly and always prioritize a calm, safe environment. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is being cared for like family.

About: I’ve owned pets my whole life, I have experience with dogs, cats, and even experience with some exotic pets as well!! I currently own 2 guinea pigs of my own. I’m currently working a part time job however that doesn’t stop me from being able to provide for you and your pets! Feel free to reach out so I can give you my schedule. I know that everyone has different rules/regulations for how they want their pets handled in their home, so I’m always happy to take the time to meet with or speak to you about boundaries for you and your fur babies!

“Diana took great care of our cats for just over a week and with one of our cats having relatively recently been in the hospital. Two of our three cats are shy around folks they don't know but clearly they warmed up to playing and being around Diana! Our cats were in good spirits and looked happy upon our return.”

Kevin H.

“Thank you Hannah for hanging with Teddy!!!! The photos and updates are the best! We can always tell he is played with and has a great time.”

About: I have volunteered at two different local animal shelters, been a dog-walker through WAG for 2 years, and my rescue dog was an emotional support animal at Boston Children's Hospital! I grew up with dogs and cats and love animals! I am currently a graduate student at Northeastern and looking to make extra cash while spending time with dogs! I used to have a rescue yellow lab and an Australian Shepherd mix! I currently have two cats. I love being active and am happy to take your dog on a walk, hike, or run! I used to dog-sit my former neighbor's black lab and take her on 3-4 mile runs everyday! I am familiar with local parks and walk routes! Please contact me if interested!

About: I’m a devoted dog lover and stay-at-home pet caregiver with a friendly, nearly 5-year-old beagle who adores canine company. I have lots of time to cater to your dog’s needs—whether that’s plenty of cuddles, neighborhood walks, or longer hikes—and our beagle has a calm, social temperament and has never met a dog he didn’t get along with. He even helps new dogs settle in at daycare thanks to his gentle nature. I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds and energy levels and tailor walks and activity to each dog’s needs (short, slow strolls or more active outings). Safe, attentive care and lots of affection are guaranteed—happy to discuss routines, feeding, and any special needs your dog has. I’m currently not employed so my days are flexible. Any doggos that come to the house will be joined by our friendly beagle. Walks are completely up to your discretion. I will do whatever is easiest and the most safe for your pets. We have a crate in our house that can be used if needed. We also have a yard that is not fenced in.
