Dog Sitting Hopkinton

About: I have owned dogs entire life of various breeds and sizes. Currently, I have 2 dogs, a one-year-old pitbull/lab mix and a seven-year-old greyhound/whippet/lab mix! I love taking them on long walks and snuggling up on the couch with them afterward! And i would love to do the same with any other dog :) I have a flexible schedule and can do multiple walks per day if needed. Am willing to walk dogs as long or as short as they need and will cater to their individual needs. Can walk multiple dogs at once and have experience with both puppies, older dogs, and everything in between. If you don't like walking in the cold, are busy at work, are out and about during the day, I can help you out and walk your dogs! Pet care fits very flexibly into my current routine, as I am available throughout the day and week. I am able to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening walks depending on client needs, including regular schedules or last-minute requests. Over the next few weeks, I have a very open schedule and can be highly responsive to bookings and messages. I prioritize being reliable and consistent with timing for each walk and maintaining clear communication with pet owners. I provide attentive, safety-focused care for every dog I walk. I prioritize secure leash handling at all times, remain alert to surroundings, and follow any specific instructions provided by the owner. I am comfortable managing dogs of different sizes, breeds, and energy levels, and I adjust my pace and approach based on each dog’s needs. I ensure pets are never left unattended, avoid unsafe interactions with other animals, and maintain clear communication with owners during and after walks. My goal is to create a calm, controlled, and trustworthy experience that keeps each pet safe and comfortable.

“Ryan is awesome. He was so good to our Newfie. We will definitely be using him again.”

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was little, my own pets and my family/ friends pets as well. I love dogs and I consider myself as a good, responsible and caring dog sitter. I have pet care as part of my regular routine. I make sure any of the pets I stay with are fed on time, have fresh water, get enough exercise, and receive attention throughout the day. I also keep up with grooming, cleaning, and any appointments they may need. I’m also available for boarding Monday - Friday anytime I take care of pets by making sure they are fed, have fresh water, and get plenty of attention and exercise. I follow their owner’s instructions and routine, including walks, playtime, medication if needed, and keeping their space clean. I also make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away.

“Leah was absolutely wonderful. Took great care of my cat while I was away. Played with her and sent me pictures as well. Highly recommend. The whole process couldn’t have gone any smoother!”

About: Hi! We’re Nicole & Ben, Animals have always been a huge part of our lives, and we genuinely love getting to know every pet’s unique personality. From growing up around animals to volunteering at a local animal shelter, we’ve had plenty of experience caring for pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. We’d love the chance to spoil your pets with lots of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles! We know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone you trust, and we’ll treat them like they’re part of our own family while you’re away. We are young professionals with a highly flexible and hybrid work schedules. We can both work from home if needed and will have ample time to attend to your pets needs. Our home has a quiet indoor space for pets to relax, along with a first-floor patio with direct outdoor access, making it easy to get dogs outside for potty breaks and walks. We are happy to follow each pet’s usual routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and downtime.

About: I’ve had cats and dogs since I was born. Caring for my furry family has been a part of my life ever since. I helped care for my dogs when they got up there in age. I’m familiar with medicating my own pets and can surely learn your routine too. I’m currently home for school for the summer so I have most days completely free. I’m also one of the main carers for my two furry siblings while I’m home. I’m used to giving pills even if the pet won’t take a pill pocket (my cat won’t either). Rain or shine I’ll take your pet on a walk. Just let me know where the leashes are!

“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!”

“Amruta was very nice and great with Scooby! She is a natural with dogs - when he met her and started jumping (still a pup learning his manners) she turned her back and immediately went into trainer mode which was great. Thanks Amruta!”

“Virginia is absolutely amazing! She catered to all four of my cats. She adjusted perfectly to our cat’s particular needs. We have one shy cat who will not come out from under the couch for anyone, but Virginia was able to bond with her and give her the attention she needed. We will be using Virginia for all of our future “cat lovin’” needs!”

About: Hi! I’m Yasmin, and if there’s one thing you should know about me, it’s that I’ve never met an animal I didn’t love. I grew up on a farm, so being around animals has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. From furry to feathery to scaly, they’ve always had a special place in my heart. Over the years I’ve had all kinds of pets, from hermit crabs and fish to cats and dogs, and I can’t wait to have even more when the time is right! Because I genuinely love animals, I’ve spent a lot of time learning about their care, behavior, and what helps them feel happy and safe. I know every pet is different, and I love getting to know their unique personalities. When I’m not spending time with my own pets, I work as a realtor, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for yours. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just having someone nearby, I’m happy to match their pace and make them feel comfortable while you’re away. I’d love the chance to meet you and your best friend! My goal is to make sure you can leave knowing they’re in loving, reliable hands and maybe make a new furry (or scaly!) friend along the way. 🐾 My schedule is pretty flexible! During the week, I’m typically available after 2:00 PM unless I have a work appointment scheduled. Since I’m a realtor, my schedule can vary from day to day, but I do my best to keep my calendar up to date and communicate any changes. Fridays and weekends are a little less predictable. Some weekends I’m completely available, while others I may be booked with work or personal plans. When I am available on weekends, it’s usually between 9:00 AM and 2:00 PM. If you have a specific date or time in mind, feel free to reach out! I’m always happy to see if I can make it work for you and your pet. 🐾 While I won’t be caring for pets in my own home, I’d be more than happy to care for them in yours! I know every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, so I always appreciate detailed instructions. The more information you can share, the better I can make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being will always be my top priorities. I’ll treat them with the same love, patience, and attention I’d give my own pets, and I’ll always keep you updated for extra peace of mind. When it comes to walks, I’m especially mindful during the summer months. I prefer walking dogs on grassy or shaded paths whenever possible, and if it’s too hot outside, I’ll adjust our plans to keep them safe. Hot pavement can burn paw pads, and dogs can overheat quickly, so I always prioritize their comfort and safety over sticking to a schedule.

“Amy was fantastic with our cat, and extremely responsive to any questions we may have had. Would definitely use again, and our cat Peaches thanks her.”

About: Hi! We’re dog lovers in Framingham who recently said goodbye to our beloved dog, Charlie affectionately known in our house as our “little girlfriend” and “Chuckie.” Caring for Charlie was such a big part of our everyday life, and while we’re not looking to bring another dog into our family right now, we realized pretty quickly how much we miss having dogs around the walks, the routines, the goofy personalities, the couch time, and all the little things that make every dog completely their own. That’s what brought us here. We know firsthand how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else. Our goal is to make your dog feel safe, comfortable and cared for while giving you the kind of communication we’d want ourselves. Expect plenty of pictures and updates we know how reassuring it is to actually see that your dog is happy while you’re away. We’re happy to follow your dog’s normal routine rather than expecting them to fit into ours. Whether they’re happiest taking a good walk, sniffing every blade of grass in the neighborhood, playing, hanging out on the couch, or just having someone nearby, we’ll meet them where they are. Most importantly, we’ll treat your dog like somebody’s family because that’s exactly what they are. What You Can Expect From Us For every new dog, we like to learn their routine, personality and preferences beforehand: feeding schedules, walking habits, favorite activities, things that make them nervous, any quirks we should know about, and what helps them feel comfortable. We’re careful about doors, leashes and surroundings, we’ll follow your instructions closely, and we’ll never assume that what works for one dog works for another. We’re also big believers in communication. You’ll get pictures and updates during our time with your dog so you’re never wondering how things are going. Our Availability We keep our calendar updated and only accept bookings when we know we can give your dog the time and attention they deserve. We’re available for dog walks, drop-in visits and select house-sitting stays in the Framingham area. We’re always happy to do a Meet & Greet first so you and your dog can get comfortable with us before the first booking. I work full time but am flexible after work to take care of any of your pets. My husband does a lot of theatre so I have a lot of free time to take care of animals! My house has a fenced in backyard that we had for our dog who recently passed. We always had her on a harness and only walked her on safe roads!

“Dana was great! Easy to talk to and very helpful with our cat. She administered medication to him, which is not an easy task. Very professional and reliable.”

About: Over the past 5 years fostering dogs through a local rescue, I’ve cared for pups of every personality—big and small, young and old, from playful goofballs to those with behavioral or medical challenges. My goal is to create lasting bonds with dogs and their families, offering compassionate, reliable care tailored to each unique dog. I work remotely from my home in Framingham MA & hence have fairly flexible availability to handle your dog. So I can adjust to your schedules & make it work. For me, fulfilling your dog's mental & physical needs are of utmost importance. I strongly believe in discipline and routine that gives a dog a defined structure to live & flourish. I also actively listen to what the pups' families convey and respect the routine that they provide and keep that up as much as possible.

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.

About: I have always loved taking care of animals whether that was for friends or family. You will get regular updates with photos, honest check ins and quick responses. I work best with all ages of dogs and treat every pet like it’s my own. I am currently in physical therapy school, but have plenty of time to check in on your pets during the weekends. I am open all day on the weeekends and can do some late nights during the week. Your pets safety is my top priority I always double check the doors, gates and leashes before leave the house. I stick close to your pets routine with medication and diet.

About: Pet Care Experience: I’ve been raised with dogs my entire life, and I also have three years of hands-on experience at a doggie boarding and daycare facility. I’m comfortable working with dogs of all types, from reactive dogs to high-energy pups. I understand the importance of positive reinforcement and am experienced in meeting the dietary and exercise needs of dogs. What Sets Me Apart: What truly sets me apart is my genuine compassion for animals. I offer a personalized experience, whether it’s hiking to burn off energy, providing calm and comfort for reactive dogs, or ensuring senior pups get the special care they need. My expertise in stimulating high-energy dogs and my knowledge of their specific needs makes me the perfect choice for your dog’s next adventure or stay! Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine. I make sure to schedule time for walks, play sessions, and one-on-one attention for each animal I care for. Whether it’s getting up early to take a dog on a hike or spending extra time with a shy cat to build trust, I always prioritize their needs. I’m flexible and able to adapt to different schedules, ensuring pets get the love and care they deserve, no matter what else is going on in my day. In my home, I create a comfortable, pet-friendly environment where animals can thrive. For dogs, that means daily hikes, interactive play sessions, and plenty of cuddle time. I make sure each dog gets the exercise and attention they need to feel happy and secure. For cats, I adjust the atmosphere to their personality—whether it’s quiet, cozy space for a shy cat or active playtime to keep a kitten entertained. I’m also experienced with dietary needs, allergies, and administering medications if necessary. When caring for pets in your home, I treat it as an extension of my own. I make sure their routines are kept intact, from feeding schedules to favorite activities. I believe in providing consistent care that allows them to feel safe and comfortable, just as they would in their own home. Whether it’s a dog who loves to hike or a cat who needs extra TLC, I’m committed to offering personalized care tailored to each pet’s needs. I’m also skilled at handling reactive animals, training, and ensuring each pet’s emotional well-being is prioritized. My years of experience with both kittens and senior cats, combined with my ability to train and manage high-energy dogs, makes me stand out. I’m not just a pet sitter—I’m a pet caretaker who goes above and beyond to ensure your pets are happy, healthy, and loved while you’re away.

“Excellent pet sitter! She was always on time, flexible, and genuinely caring. My pet is on a temporary medicine and she helped with administration with the same care as if it were her own pet. Her expertise was evident, and she even went above and beyond by giving my pet a get-well treat at her own expense. Highly recommended!”
