About: I have been a pet lover since day one! I have had dogs as big as loving labs, as small as cocker spaniels, and rescues in between. Each one had their own personality, character and energy levels but were all loved the same. I do have experience with senior dogs as well who have needed a little extra help to accommodate their day to day needs as they lost their sight, hearing or became less mobile. Every pet deserves love and attention and I look forward to helping meet their needs! I am currently a dental hygiene student with a part time job one night a week. Since my school days are much shorter than the average work day, I have plenty of time to keep your pet company while you are away. I am comfortable walking dogs of any size. Currently I do not do sitting in my own home, but look forward to playing outside if there is a fenced in yard, walks in your neighborhood, and playing with your pups favorite toys.

About: I worked at a veterinary hospital for 2 years, a pet boarding facility for 4 years, and I have been pet sitting for 6 years. I work full time from 8 AM to 4 PM, but I am available in the evenings to walk or check in on your pets. I love to play fetch in the yard. Walks around your neighborhood are great, but I am happy to take them to the park if you are comfortable with me driving them.

“Thank you for helping us when we needed it most.”

“Katelyn went above and beyond and kept my anxious senior kitties content.”

About: I have worked as a Veterinary Technician for the past six years, caring for companion animals, agricultural species, wildlife, and exotics in both Florida and Massachusetts. My lifelong passion for animals has driven me to develop skills to care for all needs. I started my career in shelter medicine and moved on to working with companion and agricultural animals full-time. During this time, I have assisted in providing life-long care to thousands of pets, covering anesthesia and monitoring, dentistry, grooming, and regular care in and outpatient settings. I have always pet-sat for my clients over the years, allowing my patients to remain in the comforts of their homes, and have fostered hundreds of shelter pets and exotic animals who need intense care. I later moved on to wildlife rehabilitation, where I have been a part of over 1,600 cases successfully returned to the Everglades. Our sanctuary had over 400 permanent residents whom I used operant conditioning to train for cooperative care and voluntary medical procedures. I also worked with Ambassador Animals during educational presentations to groups of all ages about responsible pet ownership and conservation. I have since returned to Massachusetts, where I resumed companion animal medicine and training before deciding to leave in-clinic practice. I love taking care of dogs and cats, and would like to continue to share that passion with my community. Whether your pet is elderly, medically complex, or has a demanding training or enrichment schedule, you can trust that they will receive the highest quality in-home care from a veterinary professional. Depending on the pet’s temperament, nail trims are included free of charge at your request. I have recently transitioned from in-clinic practice and am currently available for bookings at any time. Perfect for last-minute bookings and pets in high-need situations. Whether your pet simply needs feeding and quiet time or requires round-the-clock supervision and interaction, I respect the wishes of pet parents and am devoted to giving pets the care and comfort they deserve. Providing that care in their home, especially during times of need, is deeply fulfilling to me. I look forward to working with you to create a personalized plan for your pet, giving you peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I have been taking care of the dogs the past 3 years, people in my neighborhood rely on me to stay over night with them, just check in on them if they are going to be gone for long periods of time, or just to take them on a walk for some exercise. I currently work part time but my schedule moves around a lot. I don’t have set times for walks, or check ins but I’m more than happy to move my schedule around to make it work for the both of us! I have 2 fur babies of my own and a fenced in yard with plenty of tops. If your fur baby needs some space I can always sit with them in a separate room, or put them in their crate!

About: I have taken care of dogs for about five years. My girl loves hiking and long walks. I love taking pups on long walks to tire them out!! I am currently going to school with a pretty open schedule. Looking for odd jobs to fill in the gaps and make a little bit on the side. I have a friendly fixed female who is crate trained. I also have a fenced in yard but prefer walks around the block with pups.

About: Animals have always been part of my life. When I was younger I had a Yorkshire Terrier, I had to look after her every day, and when she had puppies I cared for them until they grew up. I currently have a Boston Terrier and an Australian Shepherd but they live in my Guatemala home, I used to take them for walks in the park and often to the beach or to volcanoes. When I was living in Guatemala I helped take care of a blind dog by assisting with the food, walks, and by watching him. I have taken care many times of my friend's dogs, I play with them and take them for walks. I love dogs and all kinds of animals, I would love to take care of your pet!

About: Pet care has always been a part of my life. I’ve raised and cared for dogs, cats, birds, and fish—from puppies and kittens to older pets who need a little extra patience and attention. I’ve experienced every stage of an animal’s life, so I know how to give the right kind of care, whether that means playtime, training support, or simply quiet companionship. What makes my service unique is that it’s a team effort—my girlfriend, Laurel, and I work together to provide care. She’s just as passionate and experienced with animals, so your pet gets the attention of two loving and responsible sitters. We love going on walks in the woods and beach right next to our house, keeping pets active and happy, and making sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. Pet care is a natural part of our daily routine. I work remotely from home, which gives me the flexibility to be present and attentive throughout the day. My girlfriend is also free for the summer, so between the two of us, your pet will have round-the-clock care and company. We truly enjoy being around animals—walks, playtime, chilling, we love to do it all! Caring for pets isn’t something we squeeze into our day—it is our day, and we love every minute of it! In our home, pets have plenty of space to feel comfortable and safe. We live in a large house with lots of room to play and relax, and we also have a fenced-in area in the yard where dogs can enjoy outdoor time securely. Whether it’s indoor cuddles or supervised play outside, we make sure pets get a great mix of exercise, attention, and rest. We keep a calm, pet-friendly environment and follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding schedules, walk times, and any special care instructions. Our goal is to make them feel right at home, whether they’re staying with us or we’re visiting them in theirs.

About: I have been taking care of animals in some capacity for many years. Whether it has been taking care of my own pets, dog grooming, 4H, or as a vet tech, I have always had animals in my life. I have owned many cats and dogs during my life. Now that I have more time available, I would love to take care of your animals. My home is currently pet free, but pet friendly. I also have the ability to come to you. I have experience caring for elder pets, as well as administering medications as needed. I love all animals as if they are my own and can't wait to make some new animal friends. I am currently retired and have my days and nights available for your pets. I am in a quiet neighborhood for walks and also close to major highways to travel to you with a dependable car. I would follow any care instructions given, as well as providing the animal routine and attention. Food, exercise, potty breaks, and rest are given as instructed or needed. I would care for the animal like it was my own.

“During our 10 day trip to Europe, it was such a comfort to have Colleen watching and sending updates regarding our two kitties. Knowing they were in good hands made being away from them easier, and we loved looking through the photos each day and hearing how they were doing. We definitely hope to have Colleen look after them again next time we are away!”

Megan M.

“Thank you so much for taking such great care (and pictures) of our boy! It was reassuring to know that he was in excellent hands while we were away! We loved the updates!”

About: Even since I was 4 years old I’d walk my neighbors dogs and hang with them lol! I love animals and so do my kids. Ive had my own dog since I was 13 years old and she’s my baby before I had babies. I’ll treat your dog like my own and we’d love to have them in our home. Thank you! :) I’m a stay at home mom so I’ll be with your fur babe most if not all of the time. I’m available any day or night! I have a fenced in yard so your dog can run freely and safely in my yard when we’re out there together (I never leave dogs unattended outside I will always be out there with them). Whatever you need or whatever your preferences are, just let me know and I’ll do my best to accommodate you and your fur baby! Thank you for reading and I hope to hear from you soon! :)

“Audrey was great, attentive, and provided good feedback. Our boy Tuukka was very happy with her and we would definitely recommend her for your pet.”

About: I have always taken care of my own dogs since I was about 10 years old. I have always been the person that family, friends and their friends have gone to when they need help with their pets in general. I am always willing to work with you on what works best for you and your dog. Dogs are family and should be treated as such. I will be most available during the summer. I will be planning my summer work schedule around any work I take on Rover. Outside of the summer I am most flexible on nights/weekends. My pets are always with me and have a close eye kept on them. I don't leave anything around that they can get into that can cause them any harm. I love to spoil my dogs when they do as expected and enjoy watching TV with them.

About: I work at a local vet hospital and have much experience with almost every type of dog as well as dogs with disabilities. I have had dogs my entire life! I walk friends and family’s dogs as well as stay over night at friends houses to take care of them! I’m available to walk dogs early in the morning and any time after work on weekdays. As for weekends I am available most of the time all day. But will always keep you in the loop if I’m not! I have an invisible fenced in yard. I have 2 dogs: a black lab and a jack russell mix. They run outside whenever they can and frequently go for walks around the neighborhood and neighborhoods adjacent to mine.
