House Sitting Milford

About: I’m a 24 year old from Milford who loves animals! I have extensive experience taking care of dogs, cats, exotic lizards, chickens, and fish. I have 3 cats who are my pride and joy and a mini cockapoo named Coco. I understand how important it is to have a trustworthy caretaker for your furry family. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions. I’m looking for a part time gig as I am planning on traveling internationally at the beginning of the year. I have mostly full availability and am looking for something flexible and enjoyable over the next few months. I understand how important it is to have trust in a caretaker for your pets and I’m confident I can earn yours! I have a regimented routine for my cats & dogs feeding & outdoor time. I choose to keep my cats indoors for various reasons. I am happy to accommodate any supplements, vitamins or procedures you wish for your friends. I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of running and play space.

“Mikayla stayed with our active Jack Russell for 2 weeks while we were away. I never worried about our pup, knowing that she was being taken care of and played with. Mikayla shared updates and pictures, and answered promptly when I checked in with her. I recommend her without hesitation, we have never been so at ease while away.”

“Jessica T. is fantastic. Our dog Buttercup loves her and is always excited to see her. We have used Jessica a couple times while we were away on vacation. She stayed in our house with our dog and couldn’t ask for a better sitter. She is great with getting back to me and keeping us updated on Buttercup with photos. I would highly recommend Jessica!”

About: I’ve been a dog person for as long as I can remember. Our first dog was Grey, a Weimaraner pup, when I was two or three. When we moved to California we couldn’t take him, and I was heartbroken. Then came Beau, a Cockapoo. Nearly every day I took him to the baseball field half a block from our house to run and play fetch. In those years, along with my bicycle paper route, I spent summers and after-school hours at a groomer’s, bathing and brushing out a lot of dogs. When our daughter was in junior high she wanted a dog, and Jake, our Bichon Frise, joined the family. He was my pal for 14 years, and I still miss him. These days I get to love our daughter’s sweet mini Goldendoodle, Murphy. She trusts me completely with Murphy, and I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with a member of your family. I have a soft spot for every dog I meet, and they seem to know it! I stop to pet just about every dog I see and chat with their owners. Whether it’s belly rubs, their favorite scratches, a good walk, or just company, I love making dogs feel safe, happy and loved. What I offer: walks, exercise, playtime and overnight stays in your home. I’m respectful of your space and will leave it the way I found it. I’m also usually successful getting dogs to take their oral meds. As a retiree, my schedule is flexible. I don’t have a dog of my own right now, so your pup gets my full attention, and I’ll send photos and videos so you always know how they’re doing. Pets are family, and I’ll treat yours like one of my own. I can’t wait to meet your four-legged best friend! It's hard to believe how quickly years have passed. I'm officially retired from my high-tech career, so my time is reasonably flexible. If you're in a crunch time-wise, please reach out and I'll do my best to accommodate your schedule. I’ll follow your directions implicitly. As you know your dog best, any special guidance that you offer for walking, playing, feeding or administering meds will be adhered to.

“Indigo was amazing with the pets. They got a vacation while we were on vacation. Both pets and the house were well taken care of! Can't say enough good things”

About: Hi there! I've grown up surrounded by animals, dogs, cats, even chinchillas! Helping my parents care for and train our dogs was one of my favorite parts of childhood, and that love for animals has only grown stronger over the years. I have a fur baby of my own, Lola who is not just my dog, but my best friend and most loyal companion. She loves her long morning walks and getting lost with me on hiking trails, but I think her favorite thing might just be snuggling on the couch. I rescued Lola from a shelter, and that experience inspired me to start volunteering with a nonprofit pit bull rescue. We're passionate about giving dogs in need a second chance and helping to change the negative stereotypes around pit bulls. Meeting new furry friends always brings me joy, and I can’t wait to meet yours! Pet care is truly a part of my everyday life! My own dog, Lola, keeps me on a consistent routine. We start every morning with a walk around the neighborhood, followed by breakfast and some cuddle time before I head to work. On my days off, I love taking her to new parks, hiking trails, or to families houses for some playtime with cousins. Pet care doesn’t feel like a chore to me, it’s something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to! Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or just spending quality time with furry friends, I naturally work pet care into my routine because animals have always been such a big part of my life. Caring for other pets while their families are away is just an extension of what I already do, and love doing every day! Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in yours, my priority is always to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment that sticks as closely as possible to your pet's normal routine. In Your Home: I understand how important it is for pets to stay in a familiar setting. I’ll follow your instructions carefully—from feeding and potty routines to playtime and bedtime rituals. I always make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while keeping your home clean and respected. I’m also happy to water plants, bring in mail, or handle other light household tasks as needed! In My Home: If your pet is staying with me, they’ll be treated just like family! I have a dog-friendly home with plenty of cozy spots for naps, space to play, and a calm, safe atmosphere. My pup Lola is very well-socialized and gentle with other dogs. I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable and has their own space to eat, relax, and rest. I’ll also keep up with their usual schedule, dietary needs, medications, and, of course, give lots of love and attention! No matter where the care takes place, communication is key—I’ll always keep you updated with photos, notes, and check-ins so you can feel confident and relaxed while you're away.

“Samantha was amazing and got me out of a pinch last minute to step in and take care of my pups! She sent so many cute pictures too. I would love for her to stay with my babies again!”

About: You're barking up the right tree with my services! I've had dogs since I was 5 and have provided dog care to my neighborhood, friends, and family for most of my life. I treat every pet as if they were my own and never go anywhere without dog treats in my bag. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and rescues and have taken care of many breeds ranging from Dachshunds to Border Collies to an 80 lb German Shepherd/Great Pyrenees mix. Whether it's playing fetch for hours or snuggling on the couch your dog will be in great hands. I don't have a dog of my own right now so I have lots of doggie love to give :) If you're looking for someone dependable, fun, and want to help me stop asking everyone I see if I can pet their dog then give me a shout! I'm in school right now so I'm very flexible and am happy to work with my schedule and yours to take care of your pet. Your pet is family when they're with me and I prioritize safety and respect of both your pet and household. I will always respect your pet's space and comfort and ensure they're safe at all times. I treat a client's home as if it were my own: any mess will be properly taken care of (whether that be a shredded toy or a potty accident), everything gets put back in its proper place, and all spaces will be left just as they were found if not cleaner.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter while we were away! Nikera took wonderful care of our pets and we felt confident knowing they were in good hands. She truly went above and beyond when an unexpected building inspection came up, stepping in and handling everything so we didn’t have to worry while we were away. We returned home to a clean house and, most importantly, happy, healthy pets! We’re so grateful for her care, flexibility, and willingness to go the extra mile. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her!”

“Amy provided outstanding in-home care for our two puppies while we were away. So attentive, very kind and energetic, Amy bonded instantly with our pups and went above and beyond thinking of every detail and playful approach to keep them happy and keep us informed. We highly recommend Amy and will definitely be repeat customers in the future. Thank you Amy!”

About: I've been around animals my whole life. I grew up with dogs, and these days I'm often the person friends and family call when they need someone to look after their pets. I've spent plenty of time walking dogs, feeding them, playing with them, and making sure they're well cared for while their owners are away. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes, including larger, high-energy breeds. I enjoy getting to know each animal's personality and building trust with them. I've even trained my own cats to do tricks and respond to commands using positive reinforcement. Taking care of animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I take the responsibility seriously because I know how much people's pets mean to them. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, which gives me the flexibility to provide walks, drop-in visits, and pet care throughout the day. Outside of work, taking care of animals has always been a regular part of my life, whether that's spending time with my own pets or helping friends and family with theirs. Because I work a consistent schedule and plan my time carefully, I can be reliable and punctual when it comes to pet care. I enjoy getting outside for walks and spending time with animals, so it's something I genuinely look forward to rather than trying to squeeze into a busy schedule. I try to keep things as close to the pet's normal routine as possible. When I'm caring for a pet in their home, I follow the owner's instructions and make sure they're getting everything they need, whether that's walks, meals, playtime, medications, or just some company while their owner is away. I pay attention to each animal's personality and body language and adjust my approach accordingly. Some pets want lots of attention and activity, while others are happier with a quieter approach and a little extra patience. I'm comfortable with both. Safety is always important to me. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure, and I keep an eye out for anything that seems out of the ordinary. My goal is to make sure pets are comfortable, well cared for, and as stress-free as possible while their owners are away. I make sure that I'm always available, and communication is a huge priority for me

About: I am a huge animal lover. I have raised six chickens and loved them like family. At the Pumpkin Wall Farm in Derry, I volunteer with rescued barn animals. I am more than welcome to keep your cat, teacup dog, or small animal company while you are away. Your little ones will be fed, played with, and cuddled. While I don’t specialize in grooming or medical administration yet, I am excited to learn and follow any procedures your pet requires. My schedule is astonishingly flexible. If you need someone at the last minute, I am here for a quick drop-in. I am available Monday through Friday. Note: My availability varies around Sundays and major holidays. Your cuddle-buddies will always be kept in a clean, safe, and enriching environment with me. Litter boxes and food stations will be kept pristine throughout the day. Places where your pet can easily get lost will be checked such as: cabinets, closets, tight spaces and wires. Pets are leashed and supervised on our fun outdoor trips.

“She’s amazing. We love her, we were able to travel with peace of mind because she gave us a lot of confidence. We have 3 dogs and they loved her too. We will definitely hire her again.”

“Dakota did a wonderful job pet sitting for our two dogs (and chickens) for an overnight visit. She was prompt, communicative, kind and attentive throughout the stay. She was able to administer prescribed medication and took great care of our home. We are so appreciative of Dakota and will definitely book her for future pet sitting needs. Highly recommend!”

About: I volunteer with the darbster foundation as much as I can with school. Taking care of all animals is a passion of mine from dogs all the way to birds. I work full time as of right now and I’m attending school. For the moment I can only do weekend boarding for dogs because I want to make sure your animal can get the attention it deserves. I have one cat who tends to mind his business and snooze in hidden spaces. Unless the parents have a schedule that needs to be followed for their fur baby they are allowed to roam around the apartment and use the furniture as much as they’d like. As for animals in the clients home I will surely make sure they’re entertained and exercised; however, the specifics of pet care will ultimately be determined by the customer as I know no one dog can be cared for the same.

“Lauren is amazing! So grateful to have connected with her to take care of our dog. She is communicative, attentive, and caring. We got pics of our pet with each visit, and she kept on top of any concerns. Would definitely book with Lauren again, she's a pro with pets and very easy to work with!”

About: Ive been a dog trainer for about 4 years. I specialize in reactive dog handling and went through intense training myself in Maine for 6 months to be able to do what I do & would love to work with your dog/dogs. I have training in working with all type of breeds & temperaments. I currently work part-time as a dog trainer, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and training sessions throughout the week, with the most flexibility in the afternoons and evenings. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I create a structured, low-stress environment by sticking to your dog’s routine as closely as possible while also reinforcing calm behavior and good habits. I have experience handling dogs of all temperaments, including reactive and high-energy dogs, and I’m always mindful of body language and triggers to prevent issues before they start.

About: I have been actively sitting for my friends and family’s pets for about 4 years now. I love taking care of everyone’s fur babies when they are away or as needed. I have a very flexible schedule so I can stop in for a quick visit or I can stay overnight, or multiple nights, if requested. I will ensure your fur babies will be getting fed, proper exercise, and all the attention and love under my care. I am currently not working so I am very open and flexible with whatever you may need. I am looking to do this to fill some of my time and make a little money before eventually going back to work full time - also testing if this could be a full time gig. I make sure to follow pet parents instructions, whatever you ask of me I will follow. A typical day with a pet for me includes some cuddling when waking up. Then I will take them outside to do their business. I am familiar with bathroom clean up, as well as dogs that just run into the woods and go. I have also worked with leashed dogs or collar trained dogs - even if I am not outside with them I typically keep an eye on them. After that they will have breakfast. Then I make sure to let them outside every couple of hours following that. In between letting them outside, I will hangout with them, give them plenty of attention, and maybe we’ll go for a walk depending on the dog. Then I will feed them dinner when it’s an appropriate time, take them out one or two more times in the night and we will go to sleep.
