“We are so fortunate to have found Kadence.She has a calm,soft demeanor and was unfazed by my fearful Chihuahua barking at her.Once Finn realized that I was leaving he jumped onto her lap and watched me go.That never happens.Kadence sent pictures that assured me that Finn was laying calmly with her.It was a huge relief for me to be able to spend Thanksgiving with my family knowing that Finn was in good hands.Kadence is professional and was here when she said she would be.I highly recommend her.I’ve already booked her,again,for a weekend.”
“Didn’t feel like it was the first time meeting! She was flexible with my schedule and planned fun outings for my dog. She loved him despite his quirks. And he came home exhausted! Would highly recommend Sharon to anyone looking to leave their baby in a loving home.”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life including dogs, cats, birds, fish, and rodents. I have also watched dogs for friends and family. I stop to pet every dog I come across out in the world, with the owner’s permission of course. I’m always looking to make friends with animals. My dog passed away at 17 in November 2024, so I would love to fill some time with more animals until I’m ready to adopt again. I’m currently self-employed and working part time, so I have plenty of time to walk and play with your furbabies! My schedule is pretty flexible, especially for the rest of this year. Outside of your home I can take your pup to a local dog park, or take them for nice walks on some local trails, or even around your neighborhood.
“Olivia is dependable, considerate and trust worthy…an animal lover who stayed in our home caring for our two dogs (and several plants). She stayed over a weekend and upon our return, we couldn’t even tell anyone was there, including the dogs. If you are looking for a responsible, personable and professional home and pet sitter, it will be difficult to find anyone as responsible and caring as her.”
“Lauren is a great communicator and wonderful dog sitter. She watched our older golden retriever and poodle mix and they LOVED her. She was very respectful of our house; we will definitely be contacting her again in the future.”
“Emma was great and helped take care of Avery during our wedding. She gracefully dealt with the chaos of a pre wedding Airbnb and stayed there with our dog throughout the entire night. Would definitely book again in the future!”
“5 stars across the board.... We felt so comfortable with Carolyn house sitting and dog sitting... She sent so many photos and our dog looked so happy... Amazing communication and super caring!!! Carolyn will be our "go-to" hopefully long term”
“Alexa is incredible-it’s obvious she’s a passionate animal lover because she was so wonderful caring for our puppy! She spent the day taking care of Ruby and really tired him out playing fetch and taking him for a long walk. She shared lots of pictures of their adventures. On top of that Alexa has the best personality-very responsible, dependable, and just bubbly! Definitely hope to use Alexa a lot in the future, she’s the BEST!”
“Michael did a great job of caring for our one year old 60 pound mixed breed dog. He gave him plenty of exercise and kept him happy. We would not hesitate to use Michael again!”
“Sean was amazing! She sent pictures daily of the dogs and their activities. She followed the instructions left for her. It was so nice to have the peace of mind that my fur babies were being well taken care of while we were away. Will definitely use her again!”
“Heather house sat for us for 4 days and did a fantastic job. Our 2 German Shepherds were well cared for and she somehow managed to find all of our favorite local trails without any hints from me. She seemed to have a good read on my dogs! Our house was well cared for during her stay. She even took out the trash/recycling bins to the street before I thought to ask her. I would certainly recommend her to any future clients.”
“Tess was an amazing pet sitter. She’s friendly, responsible, and trustworthy. She took excellent care of both our dogs and cats. They were all happy and tired when we got home. I will definitely reach out to her again when I need someone to take care of my pets!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 15. I’ve studied dog behavior since I was 8 years old, I’m a self taught dog trainer, and I don’t mind all the fur and mud, I love it! I take my own dogs for hikes 5 days a week, and I understand how to bond with all animals, and meet their personal needs. I’m patient, understanding, and calm with animals. They are truly my passion! I’m currently working a full time job, but I have decided to follow my passion! I will be available for dog sitting/ walking most days/ full time; and I typically start my days around 6:30 AM. I like to be out and about ! My partner and i own 7 acres of land in Essex ma, and I have a fenced in yard. I will keep the dogs relaxed, full of enrichment, and send them home happy, healthy , and tired! I will always ask if they have allergies and do whatever I am asked, and won’t do anything without running it by the owner. After all, they’re not pets; they’re family . I will be sure to send pictures and constant updates and stay by my phone If you ever need to contact me, while your pets are in my care.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for most of my life - huskies, goldens, and many types of cats. I raised and house trained a wild kitten last year and love spending time out walking with my two current huskies. I’ve taken care of them through surgeries, injuries and medications. I love animals and care very much about their joy and overall wellbeing. I would love to help get your dogs out walking or to simply spend some time giving some extra love to your furry friends. :) I have a fairly open schedule this summer. Generally, I am available mornings, afternoons and evenings for walks or at home check-ins. Overnight care can be discussed if it is needed, depending on my schedule. I am available to walk, play with, feed, or just watch over your animals if you are away. I love to take my dogs for beach, forest or simple town walks.
