About: I work in an animal hospital so I know what a lot of health issues like the back of my hand. I was trained for pet triage to look at the warning signs of something happening such as a cat open mouth breathing or things along that aspect are the HUGE things to look out for. I work at an animal hospital and know the warning signs if anything is wrong with a pet regardless of breeds. I love animals and working with animals that I am able to bring with me to work is so easy! I have four cats and a bearded dragon! For my cats, I let them be besides their daily "workout" so I can keep them in fit. I try and be interactive but also give a pet it's space because nobody likes to be overstimulated.
About: I’m a great sitter because animals have always been a part of my life. I’ve had the joy of raising dogs from puppies to adulthood, including a mini-poodle named Mikey, who was a cherished part of our family for 11 years. Currently, I have a 2-year-old cat named Cash and a 1.5-year-old dog named Jax. My care also extends to parakeets, other small birds, hamsters, and fish. Additionally, I have always found myself being a sitter for the pets of my relatives and I am currently fostering 2 cats. I have experience with nursing pets back to health after surgeries. I’m currently working part-time, so I have time to hang with the fur-babies! On weekdays, my afternoons are free, I do not work on Friday and Saturdays, and every night is available for possible boarders, as I am home. When caring for pets I prioritize their health, comfort, and emotional well-being. I ensure they’re well-fed by preparing and cooking their food according to their specific dietary needs. If a pet is unwell, I take the time to nurse them back to health with close attention and gentle care. I am also the person that takes my pets to their vet appointments. I also make sure they feel loved and secure by spending quality time with them—petting, cuddling, and playing—tailored to their personality and preferences. Each pet is treated like family, with patience, compassion, and responsibility at the heart of everything I do.
“Michelle is so good to our puppy , we are thankful for her”
About: Hi my name is Ayla, I love animals and I love caring for them. I know your dogs and pets are super important to you so I will take good care of them. Im kind and caring and patient. I love going on walks outside so your animals would get plenty of outdoor time as well as play time :). I just graduated from Temple University and with a degree in Art Therapy and moved back to Massachusetts I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate my time to your pets! I am flexible and able to accommodate your needs. Wether at your house or mine, everything will be taken care of the way that you request.
About: As a devoted dog mom to my 13-year-old toy poodle who left us a year ago and a playful 1-year-old puppy, I bring real-life, round-the-clock pet care experience to every sitting. I've spent over a decade learning the ins and outs of senior dog care—everything from gentle handling and administering meds to recognizing subtle changes in behavior. At the same time, raising a high-energy pup has taught me the importance of consistency, training, and playtime. As a mom of two kids, I’m patient, nurturing, and great at multitasking. I treat every dog in my care like family, and I’m committed to creating a safe, loving environment for your pet—just like I do at home. Pet care is naturally built into my daily routine! As a mom of two and a full-time pet parent to my energetic puppy, I’m used to structuring my day around feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of cuddles. I have a flexible schedule and spend most of my time at home, which means your dog will get plenty of attention and care throughout the day. Whether it’s early morning potty breaks, midday walks, or nighttime snuggles, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets—whether in my home or yours. In my home, pets are treated like family and cared for in a clean, cozy, and pet-friendly environment. I have a fully fenced-in yard that provides a safe space for dogs to run, play, and explore freely under supervision. It’s perfect for both energetic pups and older dogs who enjoy a bit of fresh air and sunshine. I’m mindful of each pet’s personality, energy level, and needs—whether that’s a quiet corner for a senior dog or extra playtime for a puppy. When caring for pets in their own home, I aim to keep everything as familiar and stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions closely, maintain feeding and potty schedules, and send regular updates with photos so you feel confident and connected. As a lifelong pet parent and a mom, I bring a nurturing, calm presence and always treat your pet like one of my own.
About: I would be a great dog sitter for you and your family because I have lots of experience with dogs not only do I just treat them like their pets but each animal has its own personality and they should all be treated with the same love and care we would want for ourselves.I have been around nothing but animals all my life and if I could I would have my own animal shelter by now I hope you give me the opportunity to show my skills and talents towards my loving dog nature ability and be happy to care for your dog anyway possible way that I can to make sure they are as comfortable as they are at their own home thank you.
About: I have taken care of many different animals with many needs! I am very understanding and patient and recognize every animal has its own personality! I also worked at Franklin Park Zoo! I am a student at Bentley University and I am off until September! I am very flexible with my schedule and would be more than happy to adjust to fit any of your needs within reason of course! I have my baby Pudding who is seven years old and she is very well trained! Never barks, whines , growls ,etc just a very happy dog! Who is taking full care of! I will extend this same principle/treatment to your dog to ensure maximum happiness for YOUR babies!
About: My one dog is a former abused rescue who I nursed back into normal socialized behavior! I am very patient and love animals especially ones that need a little extra care and attention. I’m also happy to uphold your training. I work from home daily and take all dogs I am watching out every 4 hours for walks along the river. They definitely love it! Dogs are always leashed and walked alone before being walked with any other dogs. I never take dogs off leash unless in my home or on your property, with your permission!
About: I have been having dog experience since I was 10 years old. I now have 2 dogs who I love and take care of very well. What sets me apart is the genuine love and connection I build with every animal, treating them like cherished family. I provide personalized, attentive care that ensures pets feel safe, happy, and deeply loved while you're away. I’m currently working part time. After about 1pm (depending on the day) I will have lots of spare time. If I am not working I will be fully available for any type of animal care. I have a big yard that my dogs play in everyday. I can easily crate my dogs in order for your dog to be feel comfortable. However my 2 dogs are extremely friendly and do get along with other animals.

Highly recommend him without hesitation!”

Her dog, Kaia, is the chillest dog I've ever seen and it's clear she takes after her owner who is impossibly patient and relaxed around multiple dogs too. My husband and I highly recommend her.”

Whether it's walking dogs, feeding schedules, administering medications, or just offering companionship, Carlis goes above and beyond to ensure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved. I’ve seen firsthand how pets naturally trust and respond positively to them, which speaks volumes about their character and approach.”
