About: I’ve spent over a decade working with animals, starting in Birmingham, Alabama, where I rescued, rehabilitated, and rehomed dogs through a bully breed rescue. I’ve also rescued and socialized cats and kittens, rehoming entire families. I currently have an active profile with Trusted House Sitters that has several five star reviews. After moving to New England, I worked at a cat hospice and later as a veterinary assistant at an emergency hospital. I’ve always had animals since I was a kid—especially cats—and I’ve also cared for reptiles, small pets like hamsters, and even fish. I’ve lived in many homes over the years and have often housesat for friends and family, so I’m comfortable caring for both pets and the spaces they love. I even have experience as a house cleaner and organizer and believe in leaving spaces better than I found them. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I work part-time as a cheer coach a couple of times a week and occasionally help with our family business, but my schedule is very flexible. This allows me to be available most days for quality time, pet visits, walks, and check-ins. I enjoy building pet care into my routine and making sure animals get the attention, exercise, and care they need while their owners are away. 🐾 Caring for animals is truly a passion of mine, and I treat every pet with the same love and attention I would give my own. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, their safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I believe every walk, play session, or visit should be a highlight of their day, and I make sure to give them plenty of affection, attention, and enrichment. I’m attentive to their behavior and needs so they feel safe, relaxed, and happy while their owners are away.

About: I have never lived in a house without at least one pet. Growing up, I loved playing with my dogs and cuddling with my cat. I have been capable of providing everyday care to pets since a very young age. I currently have quite a bit of flexibility with my schedule. I am a junior year student at UMass Amherst. I have 2 very busy school days, 2 where I only have one class, and Fridays off from classes. I am determined to provide pet care in my client’s homes however they please. I am an excellent rule follower. I am also able to provide constant check ins over messages!

“We have been working with Sharene for 10 months now. She regularly comes to walk our one year old pup. Sharene is excellent at communicating changes to her schedule with advanced notice, and she’s accommodating when we need to make last-minute changes. In June of 2024, Sharene stayed at our house for a week while we were away. Our puppy was recovering from surgery, we were worried to leave her, but Sharene took excellent care of her. It was a huge relief to know that Sharene had everything well in hand. I would not hesitate to recommend Sharene for responsible and attentive pet care!”

Having managed a multi-dog household of my own, I am fully confident handling different personalities, energy levels, and pack dynamics to keep your dog safe and happy. Why Choose Me Veteran reliability: Always punctual, detail-oriented, and highly dependable. Multi-dog experienced: Skilled at managing multiple dogs and pack dynamics. Safety first: Constantly alert to surroundings and potential hazards. Genuine affection: Deeply love dogs and understand their unique needs.

Both dogs are able go in and out as they please. I have recently trained the younger and larger of the two to walk next to me during inclement weather on a tread mill.

About: I’ve had dogs in my life since I was a kid, and caring for them is something that comes naturally to me. I’m heading to UMass to study Animal Science and hope to join the National Guard to gain EOD bomb-sniffing dog experience. I currently own a high-energy Border Collie/Australian Kelpie mix I rescued, and I’ve also cared for an elderly Shih Tzu who needed lots of special attention and patience. I’m very work-oriented, reliable, and people have told me I’m great with customer service. Neighbors, friends, and family often count on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets, and I truly love every moment of it. As a full-time student, I’ve built a schedule that gives me plenty of time for pet care. I also work at a doggy daycare in Avon, CT, so my work schedule usually varies throughout the week. I’m happy to communicate my availability ahead of time and work with each pet parent to find a schedule that works best for everyone. I’m generally more flexible on days I’m not working and can often accommodate evenings and weekends. I treat every pet like they’re my own and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. Working at a doggy daycare has given me experience handling dogs with all different personalities, energy levels, ages, and needs. I’m attentive to their body language and routines and always make sure they get the appropriate amount of exercise, attention, rest, food, and potty breaks. I also understand that every dog is different, so I’m happy to follow each pet’s specific routine and their owner’s instructions.

“Dessa has been wonderful to work with. Punctual and considerate. Easy communication. Takes good care of my pet and I can’t wait to work with her again!”

About: I have taken care of family and friends pets (cats and dogs) for many years and have regular clients for pet sitting and dog walking. I have had my own pets as well for most of my life. I have fostered many cats through a local animal shelter and have volunteered with a local organization to walk dogs. I have completed a Pet Sitter and Dog Walking Certification. I will treat your pets as I do my own and will provide loving care and I will ensure that your requests are met for your pet. I am organized and trustworthy and am available for pet sitting in my home, drop in visits and some house sitting. I am available on weekends and weekdays depending on the request. I work from home so if your pet is staying in my home I am able to let them out as needed (for dogs) and provide lots of loving attention throughout the day. Depending on the service-Boarding/pet sitting is provided in my home. We have a big yard and trails in the woods so dog walking is easy and enjoyable. Drop in visits can be set up at your home for cats or dogs as well.

About: I've had many different pets including dogs and cats! Experienced with different ages and needs including medications, behavioral, and sizes. Available for boarding, drop in, and walks I currently work mostly from home so I'm flexible for boarding and daytime visits. Love taking long walks and spending time at home with animals. Happy to take dogs on long walks and nature adventures with permission. I have cats and rabbits at home as well. I also have separate space for boarding or day care. Looking for consistent clients to build lasting relationships between me and your pet(s), as well as any last minute needs from new clients.

About: It’s so hard to be away from your pup but having friends come in to visit and play makes the day feel not so long. I have had dogs my whole life. I just love their individual personalities. I typically work Monday through Friday and can pop in for an early morning visit and breakfast or stop by for a longer visit and dinner after work. My schedule is flexible so running over midway is possible if necessary. Weekends are generally wide open. I would like to work with you to meet your needs. I have 2 pups and 3 cats at home that love extra attention, playing and quiet snuggles. Nice long walks or a trip to the dog park could be a fun adventure. For cats, some scratches along the jaw line or kitty fishing can be an engaging way to interact.

“Steph showed up for our pup for a last-minute walk and was so wonderful and accommodating. Definitely trust with our pup.”

“Milo had such a great experience today! 😊 Paisley was incredibly kind, attentive, and clearly cared about him. She made sure he got everything he needed, followed all of my instructions, and gave me peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. It’s obvious she genuinely enjoy working with dogs, and Milo came back happy and well cared for. I would absolutely recommend her and will be continuously using her walking services. Thank you for taking such great care of my boy!”

About: I have had small animals and a dog, and have cared for dogs, cats, horses, and fish. I am completely in love with all creatures big or small, and I've dedicated a lot of my time to the care of animals. I have recently worked at a dog boarding facility, so I have lots of experience with administering medication to animals, and tending to their specific needs. Me and my family are all super passionate about animals, especially dogs. I will love your baby just as much as I love my own, and make sure all their needs are met. My weekdays are not typically very busy so I can come and take your dog for a walk or play with your cats pretty much any time, given enough notice. Thank you so much for considering me to care for your best friend! I try to vary my jobs so my schedule changes often, but always ask! I am currently getting my BSN at HCC, but time management is no problem for me :) I do not have a fenced yard, but I do have a big field to the side of my house that my dog runs around in. I'm sure your pets will enjoy running with him. In terms of taking care of pets in my client's homes, I treat their belongings with utmost care and tact. I would definitely dislike anyone messing with my house, so I try to treat other people's houses with the same respect I would expect them to treat mine with. "leave everything as you found it or better"

“Pierson was very kind and gentle with Briar. She always checked in with me to make sure we were on the same page regarding the walking schedule. I highly recommend her.”
