“Needed someone to play ball with my dogs while I was out of town and my wife was home recovering from surgery. Peggy was accommodating and reliable. She helped tire out the pups so my wife could continue to heal. Would definitely use again!”


“Sarah was awesome with Rufus! Very professional always on time and made sure to check in to keep me updated on my favorite pup. I think Rufus loves her more than myself! Will definitely love to use her again and would highly recommend you do as well! Thanks Sarah”


About: I have had cats for about 12 years and just fell in love with them. One of my cats currently has kidney disease and I make her own food for her and carefully watch her. Both my cats are elderly now and cared for them since I rescued them as kittens. I have also owned dogs and taken care of them as well since they were puppies til they were elderly. I am just an animal lover all around. I worked at a vets office when I was in high school so I’ve always been very fond of animals. I find animals truly a gift to humans! I own two businesses and make my own schedule, so my schedule is flexible. I am able to work from home and stop in the morning, afternoon and evening and also weekends. Or whenever you need me to be honest. I have an extra room that I have made into a cat room with toys and obstacle courses and tons of stuff to do for the cat with litter box, food and water, I live alone but two cats do live here but would not enter the room. I can also go to clients homes and stay with the pet and play with them or stay over. I am respectful, quiet and fun.

About: My journey in pet care began in 2016 when I brought home a golden doodle who quickly became part of the family. Over time, I developed a deep understanding of how pets, whether dogs, cats, or other companions, bring comfort, joy, and emotional support to the people who love them. I ultimately chose to have her stay with my ex-husband so she could be a consistent source of support for our daughter during her time with him. Since then, I’ve cared for a variety of animals, each with their own unique personalities and needs. I’m calm, attentive, and patient, and I always take the time to make sure pets feel safe, cared for, and comfortable in my care, whether I’m walking them, feeding them, playing with them, or simply keeping them company. I work from home three days a week, so I’m around during the day to give your pets attention, playtime, and care. I’m also fully available on weekends for walks, drop-ins, or boarding. My flexible schedule allows me to tailor care to your pet’s needs, whether that means midday cuddles, structured walks, or keeping your pet company while you’re away. I take a calm, caring approach to every pet I look after, whether I’m visiting your home or caring for them in mine. I live in a townhouse with plenty of walking paths nearby, making it easy to give dogs the exercise they need. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique temperament and routine, and I always prioritize safety, cleanliness, and creating a stress-free environment wherever I provide care.

About: Hi! I have lived with at least one dog my whole life (most of the time 3) as well as 2 cats. I have had a year of professionally working with dogs at a daycare/ boarding camp. I am capable of working with dogs of all ages, sizes, and feel comfortable taking care of dogs with most health issues. I have a beagle who has epilepsy, and 2 pitbull mixes currently. As someone who struggles finding adequate care for my dogs while I’m away, my goal is to make you feel calm and reassured your pets are in good hands! I will be starting college in the fall of ‘23 in Maine. I will have Wednesdays, most of Fridays, Weekends, some afternoons, and most evenings off. I am looking to do some work this summer to get in to the swing of things but I already have 2 jobs so I don’t want to be overloaded. My schedule is variable right now but I am available on weekends for the most part. As I am moving in to a dorm, I won’t be able to care for any pets in my residence but currently I take care of my pitties in full. They are my dogs so I bathe, walk, feed, dress, cut nails, cuddle, give scratches, and much more to fully provide for them.

About: I grew up on a farm, and always cared for multiple dogs at the same time. My wife and I have had, or cared for dogs almost all our adult lives. I enjoy caring for dogs and spending time walking with them, playing with them, and just being with them. I recently retired, and my wife works from home, so we’re both here all day. I take daily walks, and spend a lot of time outdoors. I have a good-sized yard, live in a quiet neighborhood, and my property borders conservation land. I can easily accommodate a crate, dog bed, etc.

About: I was born into a pet household. It started with cats & at age 5 we got our first family dog! Now we have 5 cats and 5 small dogs. I also have cat sitted in the past, and have much experience taking care of and walking family friend’s dogs. I understand that pets are truly family members. I’m in between jobs right now and have free time during the day. My new job is set to start in the afternoon until the evening, and I would be working on alternating weekends. I would have a lot of time in the morning to check in and take your fur babies out on a walk! I don’t do boarding, as I understand it would stress out my pets and possibly yours. I take great measures to be safe with other peoples pets. I make sure to follow instructions throughly and to send plenty of pictures in order for pet parents to feel secure!

About: I absolutely adore animals, especially dogs! I am always the first one anyone in my family reaches out to if they need a sitter / walker! I also currently have 2 mini labradoodles, Bosco and Sparky who I love so much :) I just graduated college and am living at home currently, so my schedule is very flexible on any time or day for any type of sitting, drop in visit, or walk! I live in my house with my 2 other mini labradoodles and family. We have a fenced and very spacious backyard and also access to some very nice walking paths not far from the house as well!

“I've lost track of how many times Camilla has watched our cats - she is definitely our go-to gal! It's always such a relief knowing that our fur babies are getting plenty of attention and care even though we're not there.”


About: I owe dogs for more than 10 years and I am confident with playing with them and building trust and funny environment! I love dogs! I can serve two per day on the time being but may be in future having some arrangements to accommodate more within the day and the weekend. We clean our house and yard. Safety first, mowe the lawn on weekly basis. pet boarding, dog walking, and pet sitting required momently monitoring their moves and directions and the pet feels welcome and easy to follow up with basic orders. Safety around and fir my family members are also included.

About: I have taken care of dogs in my neighborhood as well as family dogs. My first dog was an Shitzu which my family adopted and took care of throughout her old age. I now have a golden retriever who I’ve had since he was 8 weeks old. I took him to puppy training as well as trained him at home. He is now 6 years old and living his best life! I recently graduated from Boston University with a B.S. degree. I am currently looking for a full time job so I have a lot of free time to take care of dogs! I live in an apartment with a large fenced-in courtyard. There is plenty of grass for your dog to run around. I also have plenty of open space in my apartment for your dogs to play and relax.

About: I am currently training my Labrador retriever puppy and having a blast! I will treat your pups like they were my own and you can rely on me! I am home full time and have an open schedule during the weekdays to be available to meet the needs of your dog or cat. Having to be at work can be frustrating when you have a pet at home so you can count on me. I care for your pets based on your needs and requirements. Whether it is a 15 min walk or a 15 min play date or just to keep them company I will do my best to take care of them.

About: I love pets and they love me! Having a furry friend is like your best friend and if you give me the opportunity I would love to meet yours and give them an outlet during the day to get those zoomies out! I currently work 2 days in office and remote for rest of the week. When I work remotely I am available during the late afternoons during the work week and free on the weekends. I treat every pet as I would for my own family furry friend. I would give the same love, attention, and some treats. Any instructions given, I would make sure that I follow them exactly and follow the schedule the owner makes. I always prioritize the pets safety and know what protocols to follow if anything were to happen. I would immediately contact the owner if needed. Communication is key, I would keep the owner updated by sending pictures and videos of what their pet is doing, as well as I will be playing with the dog to ensure it feels comfortable with being away from their owner and with a new person!

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have always loved caring for them. Whether it’s going for long walks, playing outside, or just spending quality time together, I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and making sure they’re happy and well cared for. I understand how important it is to keep pets active, loved, and safe, and I treat every dog like they’re part of the family. As a teacher currently on summer break, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. My days are open, so I’m available for walks, drop-ins, or extended stays throughout the week. I love having the opportunity to spend my break doing something I enjoy—being active, outdoors, and taking care of pets. It’s the perfect way to combine my love for animals with my free time during the summer months. When school starts, I’m available after 3pm. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and fun environment. I have a fenced yard where dogs can run and play freely under supervision, which gives them a great outlet for exercise and fresh air. Inside, pets have plenty of space to relax and feel at home. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, whether that means regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or cuddles. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and routines, making sure their pets feel secure and cared for while maintaining consistency in their daily lives.

Kira N.
“Kira had watched my dog Jagger a few times, and he loved her!!! Occasionally I was there while she'd be watching him and could tell she really cared about him and she didn't just watch him because it was here job, but because she genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. He's a big, hyper dog and she would take him on much needed walks which was good for him. Very considerate, caring, compassionate person.”
