Dog Sitting Hopedale

About: With over 20 years of experience caring for a wide variety of dog breeds both personally and professionally. I bring deep knowledge, patience, and heartfelt dedication to every pup I meet. My love for dogs runs deep, and I always strive to make each one feel safe, loved, and truly at home. Whether it's energetic playtime, long walks, or cozy cuddle sessions, I tailor my care to each dog’s unique needs and personality. Your furry family member will be treated like one of my own with compassion, consistency, and lots of belly rubs! Providing the best care possible isn’t just my job, it’s my passion and my priority. I currently work from home, which allows me to give dogs plenty of time, attention, and care throughout the day. I’m also supported by my two mature and responsible children, who have hands-on experience with dog-sitting, walking, and even cat care. They fully understand the responsibilities that come with caring for animals and love being involved. With our home full of warmth and care, your pet will feel like part of the family. We live in a wonderful, dog-friendly neighborhood that’s known as one of the safest in Massachusetts. Our area is peaceful, welcoming, and perfect for regular walks, with nearby dog parks and friendly neighbors. I have all the necessary dog-walking supplies on hand, and as an active, athletic family, we love spending time outdoors. Your dog will enjoy plenty of fresh air, exercise, and outdoor play always in a safe and stimulating environment.

About: I’ve taken care of my friends’ and family’s animals for over 10 years on and off. Most homes having more than one animal, and often both cats and dogs. I have been in charge of medications, particular feeding directions, high energy animals as well as elderly animals. If there are specific training requirements, I have been able to help reinforce the training properly after being taught the particulars. I work in person, and will often be out of the house for 8+ hours depending on traffic, I do my best to communicate my schedule accordingly though. Recently moved back to MA and am slowly working on rebuilding my clientele. Updating my calendar as I know my work schedule! I currently work in person at a retail location in broomfield, so my schedule can be pretty variable. I know about 2-3 weeks in advance generally speaking and will communicate with you the specifics if necessary. The longest my shifts could be are 8-8.5 hours and the shortest are generally 4 hours. Depending on the week, I am sometimes scheduled until 8:30pm but if that occurs during your requested time, I will let you know so we can move forward accordingly. I am able to adapt to your home environment so your animal is more comfortable and able to be in a familiar space. Depending on the needs of your animal and the limitations of your space, this will determine how potty breaks are managed, specifically for dogs. Regardless, I am happy to take them on walks, play in the yard, or once we are more acquainted with each other, go to a dog park to help exert their energy, depending on what you are looking for.

“Melissa did an amazing job taking care of our kitties, fish and home while we were away for 2 weeks! Thank you so much! ❤ Tidy, informative and considerate.”

“Heather was absolutely amazing! Our senior cat recently started on insulin shots twice a day and we were nervous about leaving him. We were put at ease as soon as we met Heather. She came twice a day promptly at the times he needed his meds and cared for him as if he was her own pet! We got updates and photos at each visit and it seems like our old kitty fell into a nice, relaxed routine with her😊. She did an amazing job keeping his days as “normal” as possible for him and she went way above and beyond keeping his entire space (and ours) tidy. I wouldn’t hesitate for a minute to use Heather’s services again when we travel. I felt very comfortable having her in my home and with my pet. Thank you!”

About: I've had dogs for much of my life and have experience caring for dogs both in my own home and in someone else's. I grew up with a dog, currently live with another dog, and have also provided pet-sitting for a coworker's two dogs. I once stayed at a coworker's home for an entire week to care for her two dogs while balancing full-time school and a part-time job. This experience gave me the opportunity to take responsibility for their daily routines and make sure they were well cared for while their owner was away. I'm comfortable with the everyday responsibilities of dog care, including feeding, providing fresh water, walks, playtime, and making sure dogs feel safe and comfortable. I understand that every dog has their own personality, energy level, and routine, and I believe in giving each dog the individual attention they deserve. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I would treat your dogs with the same kindness, patience, and affection that I give the pets in my own home. Whether your dog loves going for walks, playing, or simply having some company, I'm happy to make sure they feel loved and cared for while you're away! I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week, which allows me to accommodate different pet care needs and routines. I'm happy to work around your pet's usual feeding times, walks, playtime, and other daily activities. Whether you need occasional help, weekday visits, or more consistent care, I can be flexible and make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, love, and care while you're away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I make it a priority to maintain their normal routines and provide a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment. I follow the owner's instructions closely regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), and any special care requirements. I take the time to get to know each pet's personality, preferences, and needs so they feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away. I always make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, plenty of attention, and appropriate exercise and playtime. I also understand the importance of respecting my client's home. I make sure doors and gates are secure, keep the home tidy, and provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are in good hands. My goal is to make both pets and their owners feel comfortable and at ease.

“Carley took excellent care of my kitties while I was away for the first time since moving to a new home! She followed my info for feeding, playing etc to the tee and sent lots of photos during her visits. I could tell both my cats were super comfortable with her and were getting lots of love while I was away 🥰”

“We are so grateful for Allyssa caring for Clyde while we were away for a long day! It’s clear that she really loved on him and gave him lots of attention, as well as completed everything we asked her to do for him during the visit!”

About: I am an animal lover who goes above and beyond caring for animals. My Vizsla is 12 years old and recently had to go away for a week and he needed to stay at a kennel. He had never been kenneled before and realized how important it is to find a loving and caring place for him while I was away. I was lucky enough to find a place but realized the importance of having somewhere/someone to care for pets as well as I would. So decided to sign up for Rover and hoping to help someone as I was helped! I have a home with a decent sized fenced in back yard. I also take my dog on an off leash hike a day and understand how important exercise is and make it a priority in our home on a daily basis.

About: Every animal brings pure joy into my life, and I genuinely adore caring for all pets—from energetic wanderers to quiet, gentle souls who take a little time to warm up. I meet every pet exactly where they are, learning their unique language, respecting their boundaries, and making sure their days are full of comfort, safety, and genuine love. Living with my own three-legged dog and having nursed my sweet cats through cancer, I bring deep patience and calm confidence to medical routines, medication schedules, and unique physical needs. Whether your companion needs a brisk walk, a gentle ear scratch, or thoughtful care with their daily treatments, I’d love to connect and give your furry family member the dedicated attention they deserve! I have an open, flexible schedule dedicated to pet care from Sunday to Thursday (all day and evening). Whether your pet needs an early-morning walk, mid-day playtime, or evening drop-in visits and medications, I can easily match their exact routine. When caring for pets in your home, my priority is keeping their environment familiar, safe, and stress-free. I strictly follow your established routine—from exact feeding and medication times to favorite walking routes and play habits—so your pet feels secure and comfortable in their own space. During every visit or house-sitting stay, I provide attentive companionship, clean food and water bowls, and handle any necessary light tidy-up around pet areas. You will always receive detailed updates with photos after each visit, giving you complete peace of mind that your home is secure and your pet is happy, loved, and well cared for.

About: I grew up with a dog from the age 3-16! My best friend has a Boxer and I've been taking care and watching him frequently since he was a puppy! I also worked at an office where the owners had two dogs, a small chihuahua and a greater Swiss mountain dog. I took them out for frequent walks & fed them, as well as watched them when the owners weren't around. I'm currently a Stay-Home-Mother. My son is 3 years old, so the pet must be toddler friendly. I am home most weekdays. I can be busy on weekends, but if I have an early heads-up, I can accommodate. I am flexible during the week and have a car to drive to my client's houses! I am willing to stop by and feed, play and walk your pet.

About: I’ve taken care and lived with dogs and cats my whole life! Ive dogsat/walked my friends and families pets for many years and still continue to do so. During the summer, I usually dog sit full-time for multiple of my friends’ families while they go on vacation for a week or so. I truly love animals and would be honored to take care of your pet. I will definitely keep you updated on your pet with details and pictures while you are away to ease your mind! I work as a waitress, so my schedule is flexible. I can usually plan around a pets needs. During the weekdays, I am always available in the evenings (4-10) and mornings (7-11), as well as the weekends depending on my schedule. Unfortunately, I will not be able to host pets at my household for sitting. Your pet will be my top priority if I am given the role. I can easily follow a plan or a set of rules regarding your pet. I can follow a strict food schedule and walking/bathroom schedule and will administer medicine to your pet if needed. I am willing to go on short or long walks depending on the type of exercise your dog may need at that time.
