“Emily cared for our Cavachon dog for two weeks. She did an amazing job caring and allowing him to explore his neighborhood. She deserves six stars an extra star for being amazing.”
About: I have had cats my whole life and have been pet-sitting cats and dogs for many years. I fostered kittens for the ASPCA for years and I have a wide range of certifications from them pertaining to the care of cats and dogs of all ages, as well as anxious or ill pets. I have experience providing medicine to pets through a variety of methods and caring for pets of all ages, from babies to seniors. I work from home part time with a highly flexible work schedule. I choose my own hours so I am available at all times. Hablo español. Je parle français. I don't pet sit in my home because of my two cats. In others' homes I care for their pets with respect, attentiveness and kindness. I follow instructions with care and stay calm in emergencies. I am willing to spend nights.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 12 years old. My neighbors and friends have relied on me to be a dog sitter. I and my family always are at home. We can take care of your pets either week day or weekend. We all love the dogs and play well with them. I have a dog at home and he is very friendly with every dog. I can easily crate if you prefer for your pet. Easy going.
“Taylor took great care of our Cavapoo Lucy and took her for a walk while my husband and I were in the office one day. She was very flexible when we needed someone on short notice. She played with Lucy and took pictures too. We’re so thankful we chose Taylor to walk Lucy!”
About: I love all animals. I have the most experience with small-medium dogs with fairly high energy. I love playing with pets and forming genuine connections with them as they each have their own unique personalities! I’m currently working part time at a boba drink shop but only about 9-12 hours a week. I specifically like to pet sit because it gives me more hands-on experience with animals, and i’m planning to study pre-vet at boston u. I sometimes care for multiple pets each day, especially for repeat customers! I find that regardless of the actual money made, spending time with pets itself is such a fun part of my week :) When boarding at my home, I keep the pets completely separate from my current pets in order to prevent conflict. I live in a large family home with 3 floors and many rooms so there plenty of room to provide a separate environment for the pets I service! If wanted, I also have experience with bathing dogs so i’m very open to that extra service if wanted. At other people’s homes i’m very respectful of their property and their pets health. I only offer treats when given permission and I provide extra effort into making sure the home is securely locked and clean before leaving.

About: I've been a dog-mom to three very different dogs—a German Shepherd, a Rottweiler, and an Indian street dog rescue—over nearly 30 years. They were always part of the family, traveling with us across the world through military assignments and other moves. I've loved and cared for them through every stage of life, from their energetic puppy days to the challenges of old age, gaining plenty of experience with a range of personalities and needs. I recently said goodbye to Daisy, my loyal companion of 13 years, leaving a big hole in my heart. I’m currently not working and have very few time-bound commitments, making my schedule very flexible. I am available throughout the day and over the weekends. I live in a single family home with a small unfenced yard. I am in a residential community with plenty of space to walk and green areas. There are no other pets or kids in the house.
