About: Hey there friends, My name is Hope. I’ve spent over 10 years walking dogs and caring for pets throughout Boston, NYC, and now as I travel all over. During this time Ive become certified in canine CPR and first aid. Safety first! Lucky for me, I only do non-pet related work on the weekends so I am entirely free to care for your pets anytime during the week. When I pet sit at other peoples homes for multiple days, besides the care and routine of the pets in need to know: when the client would like me to arrive/depart, a preferred place I can sleep, what I can and can’t use in the kitchen (salt/pepper ect), if I can/can’t use things like the washing machine if necessary, general house rules and security.
About: I've taken care of pets professionally since I was college-aged, worked in 2 kennels with additional care given via baths, nail trims, etc. Have also owned dogs and cats all throughout my life. Comfortable with all sizes. I work from home, so I'm available all day to take care of your pet! I have a 1 year old black Labrador who is so sweet and loves to play, so hopefully they can wear each other out! I have a fenced yard and a black Lab that is very sweet and friendly to keep your pet company! She's probably more excited to see them than I am! You can expect frequent potty breaks, administered medicine I'd needed, and lots of playing!

About: Hi! I’m Bridgid, a caring and reliable dog sitter with a beloved pup of my own. I know how much pets mean to us, so I’ll treat your dog like family — walks, playtime, and cuddles, all in the comfort of your home. Happy, stress-free pets while you’re away! I currently work 3 days a week, so 4 days of my week I am free! My schedule is different every week, but it is scheduled 6 weeks at a time which gives plenty of time to plan! I offer services conveniently only at the client’s own home, because I have a dog of my own who I will keep separate! Safety is priority!

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my lifelong love for animals and the care I’ve provided to my own furry family. I have three amazing dogs and a cat who fill my days with joy, and they’ve taught me so much about patience, attention, and the unconditional love pets bring to our lives. On top of that, I’ve spent over five years working with animals, from caring for wildlife during an internship to looking after pets as a kennel attendant for VIP Boarding! I’ve worked and studied animal behavior throughout college, which has helped me better understand how animals think, feel, and communicate. I’ve learned to handle all kinds of personalities—shy, energetic, or senior pets needing extra care—and I always approach every animal with love and understanding. Your pets will be cared for like they’re part of my own family! I work Mondays-Wednesdays 8 am to 3 pm and Thursdays and Fridays 3 pm to 9 pm. Saturdays and Sundays are TBD, but I am flexible! I’d maintain their usual routine, including feeding, walks, and playtime, to keep them comfortable. I tailor my approach based on each pet's needs, whether that’s providing mental stimulation for dogs or ensuring cats have a quiet retreat. I’m also experienced in administering medication if needed, ensuring their health and well-being are prioritized. I communicate regularly with pet owners to provide updates and follow any special instructions. My goal is to make sure pets feel secure, loved, and cared.
“Laura is excellent! She came by for two meet and greets, for the visit was always on time, and the dogs were well taken care of. She's great at filling out the care card and keeping us informed of the visits. Highly recommend, I will use again!”
About: I have many years of experience taking care of many different kinds of animals. I also used to work at a doggie daycare and boarding facility. I was laid off recently, so my schedule is very open for right now. I wouldn’t have a huge issue fitting it into my schedule. I’ve cared for many pets at once so taking dogs out separately, crating them at night or feeding them differently and separating them is no issue. I can accommodate most requests.
About: Our little family (Nathan, Kelly, and our kids) are raising Huck, a 1 year old Yellow Lab. We’ve trained him and are found walking around town with him often. As dog owners, we know how much it means to us when someone we trust is able to watch our dog. Now we want to give the same option to other pet owners. While most of our experience is with dogs, my wife can also cat sit and we also have had a fish in recent years. We are laid back, but also have some active hobbies, such as hiking, kayaking and traveling. We would love to hang out, walk, play, and feed your pup in the comfort of his or her home, or welcome him or her to ours. In addition to Huck, Kelly and I rescued a reactive dog with separation anxiety and had him for several years. I grew up with a mini-Pom and also helped raise a golden retriever from a puppy. We also have many friends with dogs and sit for them frequently. We are very comfortable administering oral medication but since we will be bringing the dog around our family, the dog should not be aggressive or reactive. We are at home most days and we homeschool and work from home for several days throughout the week. We are happy to work with your schedule to support your pet. We love to play with dogs. Our kids have been around dogs since they were very young and love cats as well, although we don’t have one.

Hope R.
“I work as an assistant manager at a dog walking company in Boston, working with Hope for a few years. She was so genuine and sincerely cared about the dogs experience, not just getting another paycheck. Each dog was well cared for and she developed strong ties with each of them. Not to mention how enjoyable her conversation was in the office! She is truly a creative, beautiful ray of sunshine and we miss her so much at our company! Good independent contractors are hard to find, but we would have her back in a second.”
