House Sitting in New Bedford

“It was my first time leaving my dog Luna overnight with a sitter. Liza came out to my house before my travel and I could see immediately how comfortable and affectionate she is with dogs. She listened patiently while I went through Luna's routine and my house rules ... then she asked great questions. While on my 5 day trip, Liza sent pics/text reassuring me that Luna was fine. I could see that she was more than fine ... she was having a great time with Liza and her daughter (who I think she still misses!). Additionally, they were very respectful of my home, leaving it clean and tidy. Thank you so much!”

About: Tim and Maxine are a devoted couple who provide calm, attentive, home-based care for dogs. Maxine has had dogs since age 8, and they have always been an important part of her life. Together, they share a deep love for animals and extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs of different temperaments and needs. Maxine also grew up in a household involved in wildlife rehabilitation, witnessing hands-on care for squirrels, birds, and other vulnerable animals. Animals have always been central to their lives. They are warm, gentle, and patient, and because they do not work outside the home, dogs receive consistent presence, supervision, and affection throughout the day. Dog care is naturally woven into our daily and weekly routine because we do not work outside the home. Being home allows us to structure our day around the cats’ needs rather than fitting care into limited free time. We are present throughout the day for feeding, walks, dog park visits, play, monitoring behavior, and providing comfort and attention. Because our schedule is flexible and home-based, we can respond quickly to changes in appetite, mood, or health, and maintain a calm, consistent environment that helps dogs feel safe and settled. We offer boarding exclusively in our home, providing dogs with a calm, safe, and structured environment. Because we are home full-time, dogs receive consistent supervision, walks, dog park outings, regular feeding, daily interaction, and close monitoring of behavior and comfort. We follow each dog’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules and any special instructions.

About: I have been taking care of pets since I was 15! Dogs, cats, ferrets, rabbits, and fish from all breads and ages, big or small. I take care in bathing, grooming, feeding, and walking! I am currently a student full-time so I am only available during holiday breaks and in the summer. I take care of my own pets and sisters so I am only available thursday, friday, and on weekends. I can keep to the schedule you give me for your companion! I can give baths, play, feeding, and go on walks. I take lots of pictures and will update you on how the walk/sitting is going frequently. I know every companion has their own personality and will take the time to get to know them to make their experience with sitters a comfortable one!

About: I have been caring for pets ever since I got my own to care for at a very young age. I have years of hands-on experience caring for cats of all ages, including newborn kittens, energetic kittens and cats, and senior cats who all require extra attention, patience and love. I also have well-rounded experience caring for dogs. I have experience with mature and senior dogs, including boarding them, caring for, and walking. I have cared for energetic dogs to calmer dogs and always tailor my care toward their needs. I have dog walking experience on both trail walks and city walks and design appropriate routes depending on the dog’s ability and character. I understand the importance of routine, attentiveness, and gentle handling while caregiving and always follow instructions diligently. Over time, friends and family have relied on me to check in on, feed, play, pet sit, and board their pets for days or weeks while they were away, trusting me to keep their pets safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for. I currently work from home 3 days a week, only 2 days in office so I will have plenty of time and flexibility to care for pets. I am available Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays for check ins or walks. I am also available on weekends and most holidays for all services. I am very respectful of others homes. I will follow every detail and instruction I am given. I can stay in clients homes for boarding, walks, or check-ins. I can provide multiple updates or whatever the client desires. I am accepting of camera monitoring if desired to ensure trust and safety for clients. I have no children and only 1 cat in my house and live in very quiet neighborhood ensuring tranquility for pets to feel safe and comfortable in my home.

“Jessica was great with our little Gracie. She was attentive and patient as she is still a pup! We were so happy she was able to care for her during our wedding weekend away!”

About: I love animals so much, and nothing compares to the personality and happiness that comes from dogs!

“My wife and I had a wedding to attend down in Florida, and most of the friends and family that would normally watch our dogs were unavailable. We reached out to Kristie on short notice to see if she was available to watch them while we were away. She responded promptly, and came by to meet our dogs (Bandit & Bailey) within a couple of days. I could immediately tell she knew what she was doing as she walked through our door and was able to deflect our crazy jumper (Bandit, high-energy 100lb black lab) effortlessly. After talking over our typical routine, and playing a bit of fetch outside, I felt confident that she would be a great fit. We booked her that day. Days later, we finally made our way down to Florida and our pups were in Kristie's hands. From the very first day, she did a great job following their typical routine, and gave them quite a bit of exercise playing fetch out in the back yard. She sent a bunch of photos, and it was clear to us that they were very happy doggos! It really put our minds at ease, and allowed us to enjoy our little wedding vacation. I will definitely be reaching out to Kristie to have her watch our dogs again. She did a great job, and as I mentioned earlier, our black lab Bandit can be handful, and she handled it without a problem. For anyone else reading this, look no further, Kristie is the best.”

About: I have had a dog my whole life and love playing with him, walking him, and running with him. I always take care of the dog I used to have and play with him all day long. He was very active and playful so I am used to dogs who are a little bit more energetic. I have a passion for animals and love being around them and having them in my house. I am super friendly and will always be willing to do whatever it is you need for your dog. I will provide many different things for us to do including: going for a walk around a park or even the beach. I will always accept any dog of a variety of sizes to walk and play with. I used to also walk with Wag! for about 5 years! I love playing with the dogs bringing them for walks and just being around them. I can walk at night during the week and all day on weekends. I am a teacher so summers I am more free to walk more as well! I will do whatever is needed to provide the best care. I always follow instructions carefully and never forget anything! I always provide extra time for play and cuddles!

Open to working around the owners lifestyle. I carefully listen to instructions and rules set forth by the pet owner and ensure that the animals are safe and well cared for while I am with them!
