Dog Sitting Hopedale

About: I'm good with all animals. I've just always clicked with our little furry friends. No dog is too big and no cat is too spicy. I'm logical, fun, and love playing with animals. I'm currently in a tough job market as AI is really taking over a lot of the software world. I'd love to make a little side hustle money while taking care of our furry friends. I think the most important thing is I treat all animals with love and respect. And I'm not looking to mess up any routines you guys have set. I will execute them for the letter.

“Marina truly has a heart for animals! My husband and I just moved to the area from Austin, Texas and we are very grateful to have found Marina! She will be our go-to pet sitter moving forward.”

About: What sets me apart is my deep background in providing structured, highly patient care. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, and I excel at managing specialized behavioral needs. Whether your pup is anxious, high-energy, or just thrives on a precise schedule, I know how to bring a calm, understanding energy to every single drop-in visit. I don't just stop by for a quick potty break; I focus on maintaining your dog's exact routine so they feel safe and secure while you are away. From administering precise instructions to handling sensitive or nervous dogs with a gentle touch, I treat your furry family member with the dedicated individual attention they deserve. You can rest easy knowing your pup is in experienced, trustworthy, and capable hands! I am currently launching my own independent consulting business and working as a substitute teacher, which gives me incredible control over my daily calendar! This unique professional flexibility allows me to seamlessly open up plenty of midday windows, mornings, and evenings for dedicated drop-in visits, medication schedules, or quick potty breaks throughout the week. My professional background means I excel at managing structured routines and maintaining clear, calm boundaries. In your home, I emphasize safety by following your exact care guidelines, double-checking locks, and providing focused care for anxious or sensitive dogs.

About: I have been providing in-home pet care for over 4 years now, with plenty of experience walking, caring for, and loving dogs. I have administered medicine, and am cpr and first-aid certified. I currently have 1-2 daily walks scheduled everyday Monday-Friday, and am looking to add up to 6 walks everyday! I’m hoping to have breaks between every 2-3 walks in order to care for any pet I am currently caring for in-home. I will always meet you and your pet(s) before any one on one care to ensure that we are a perfect match! Your pet’s comfort and happiness is my top priority.

“Kayla was great for a drop in visit for my pups, and on fairly short notice. She’s quick to communicate with and my pups seem to love her. Got some great photos from the visit. Will definitely book her again!”

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.

About: My name is Emma and I’m a Registered Nurse and am looking to also start pet sitting & dog walking again. I have a dog myself and know how important he is to me and I’d love to treat your pets with the same love & care! I trained my dog to not pull on leash and we walk a ton. I also have 2 cats at home and would love to cat sit.

About: I have a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science and four years of hands-on experience working in both a veterinary clinic and a dog kennel/daycare. I’m currently a first-year veterinary student at Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine, continuing to build my knowledge and skills in animal health and behavior. I’m comfortable administering medications, including injectable medications such as insulin, and have experience caring for dogs with behavioral challenges, including dog-aggressive dogs. My own dog has these challenges, so I understand the importance of patience, proper handling, and creating a safe environment for every pet. I also have experience caring for a variety of animals, as I have a dog and cat of my own. I’m passionate about providing pets with the same attentive, compassionate care I would want for my own. I’ll be starting my first year of veterinary school soon, so my exact class schedule is not set yet. I expect to have the most flexibility in the afternoons and evenings, and I’ll plan my pet care schedule around my classes. My veterinary school schedule may vary from day to day, but I’m committed to being reliable and communicating clearly about my availability. I’ll also have flexibility on weekends and will do my best to accommodate your pet’s needs and routine. I prioritize trust and keeping each pet’s routine as consistent as possible. For overnight stays, I provide a calm, comfortable environment and make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision. For drop-in visits and walks, I follow each pet’s individual routine and instructions, including feeding, medications, bathroom breaks, and exercise needs. With four years of veterinary clinic and dog daycare experience, along with my current veterinary education, I’m comfortable recognizing changes in behavior or health and handling a variety of personalities and needs. I also have experience with dogs who may be reactive or aggressive toward other dogs, so I take introductions, walks, and environmental safety seriously. My goal is for every pet to feel safe and cared for while their owner is away.

“Lindsay was fantastic! We went away for 3 days and Lindsay did a great job taking care of Gracie. She sent us multiple photos each visit and her girls were great with her as well. Lindsay made it easy and stress free as she completed all instructions we provided without any additional questions. I highly recommend and will be using her again! :)”

“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 🥰”

About: I have had cats and dogs in my life since the age of 6. I have raised two dogs from puppies, and have a lot of experience with older dogs as my friends and family prefer to adopt. I previously fostered a Lab-Pitbull, and currently have a Pomeranian, so I have plenty of experience with dogs of all sizes. I am currently available any day of the week from 1:30pm on. I work from home, so overnight or extended stays are no issue for me! I have a big fenced in yard where dogs can run and play, and I live in a quiet neighborhood that is great for dog walks. I am available on-call to take dogs for walks in their own neighborhoods as well! I love to play fetch and give some of the best scritches in town (just ask my dog) :)

“Virginia always provides the best care to our cats. She spends time with them making sure they get love, play time and attention. We could not recommend her enough!”

About: Hi! I’m a first year veterinary student at Oregon State University with a strong passion for animal care and years of hands on experience working with pets of all kinds. Before starting vet school, I worked as a veterinary technician at VCA Animal Hospital, where I gained valuable clinical skills and became comfortable administering injectables, giving oral medications, and providing attentive, high quality care to every animal I worked with. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every dog as if they were my own: prioritizing their safety, comfort, and happiness at all times. I grew up with both dogs and cats, so being around animals has always been a huge part of my life. While my schedule in vet school doesn’t currently allow me to have pets of my own, dog walking and pet care gives me the perfect opportunity to still spend time with animals and helping pet owners feel confident that their beloved companions are in caring and capable hands. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine and is something I genuinely enjoy. As a first year vet student, I use dog walks and visits as a refreshing break between classes and studying. It’s a great way for me to destress while still spending time doing what I love...caring for animals. I provide care in my clients’ homes to keep pets comfortable in their own environment and maintain their normal routines. I follow all instructions closely: feeding, walks, playtime, administering medications. While I currently have two cats in my apartment and am unable to host pets in my home, I’m very reliable with drop in visits and dog walking.

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.
