Pet Sitting in New Bedford

“Abby has been watching both our dogs during the week for several weeks now and they ADORE her! She has gone above and beyond every time and will send us plenty of pictures and updates. She is always on time and extremely responsive. We have had to adjust some things a few times and Abby has been very accommodating each time. She is absolutely great with our dogs and you can tell by the way they look at her in the pictures and the way they act that that they truly enjoy her company.”

“Haley was awesome! She was very attentive in her care for our cat & dog while we were away. She also was able to accommodate a last minute additional visit which was so great!! She closely monitored the well-being of our dog during 4th of July fireworks and made sure to give thorough reviews/plenty of photos. Communication was amazing! Would definitely recommend Haley”

“Amanda was wonderful. She took great care of our three cats. She made sure they always had food, fresh water, clean litter boxes, played with them, and gave them attention. She sent pictures every day. Would highly recommend her.”

“While one cat had recent surgery and recovering nicely now, Jessica was game for taking on extra care regarding this. Ended up not being needed. Also, she was great with responding to a sudden need for more visits on very short notice. Truly appreciated this. Thank you Jessica!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 15! I’ve had pets all my life growing up though! My neighbors, friends, and family, have relied on me to feed, walk, play, and give cuddles to their pups! I currently do not have a job, so I am available Monday-Friday, all day, to drop in for some cuddles or to get some exercise in with your dog! My home has a fenced in dog park that i’m sure your dog would love to run around in and get some energy out! If your dog is better on a leash and loves to walk and sniff around your area I am happy to do that as well! I just want to be able to give your pup a safe and happy visit 😊

“Barbara B. was great and during visits visits to my 2 cats seemed to bond well with them. I very much appreciate this and will use her ahead. Thanks Barbara!”

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.

“Angela & Adam had great professional holiday energy for my senior kitties. They sent thorough reports and great/festive pictures that made us laugh which helped my son cause he always misses our fur babies when we are out of town. It is so refreshing to meet folks who genuinely love animals and provide top notch care!”

About: Experienced Dog Owner & Sitter – Reliable, Active, and Caring Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover with over 20 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I grew up with a terrier mix and a black lab, and as an adult, I've cared for a German Shorthaired Pointer and now my current companion, Reggie—a 1.5-year-old Basenji. Reggie is friendly, well-socialized, and loves being around other dogs. I’m especially experienced with puppies and enjoy the energy and patience they require. Reggie and I stick to a consistent daily routine that includes at least a mile of leash walking each day—usually split into multiple walks, with outings early in the morning (as early as 5–8 AM), mid-morning, an afternoon potty break, and a longer walk in the evening. Our home is dog-friendly, safe, and has a fenced-in yard perfect for supervised play. We welcome only one guest dog at a time to ensure plenty of individual attention and a calm environment. I house- and dog-sitting in as well as , I currently offer drop-in visits. At the heart of everything I do is a commitment to your dog’s safety, comfort, and well-being. I’m 35, responsible, and passionate about dogs—I treat every pup like family. Flexible & Reliable Pet Care – Full-Time Availability I offer full-time availability for pet care and am happy to accommodate a variety of schedules. Morning walks are part of our daily routine—typically between 5 AM and 8 AM and ranging from 0.5 to 1.5 miles. In the afternoon, I provide a potty break, followed by an evening walk of 0.5 to 1 mile. This schedule works well for my own dog, Reggie, and any pup we’re hosting. I'm available for: Scheduled or short-notice dog walks Drop-in visits Daily or multiple-times-a-day walks Weekly routines or one-time services Short-notice check-ins (with a fair, convenience-based fee) Whether your dog needs regular walks, occasional visits, or last-minute help, I'm here to provide safe, loving, and dependable care. Safety-First, Thoughtful Pet Care in a Calm and Controlled Environment For every pet care job—whether it’s dog walking, drop-in visits, or in-home hosting—I approach each responsibility with a safety-first mindset. I begin by assessing the environment, checking for any potential hazards, and observing the dog's temperament, energy level, and overall health to ensure they’re set up for a positive experience. I come fully prepared with all the essentials: leashes, treats, food (if needed), cozy beds and blankets, separate water bowls, poop bags, and anything else your pup might need to feel safe and comfortable. I believe dogs thrive in calm, predictable environments. As the walker or sitter, I take the lead in maintaining a peaceful, structured atmosphere where your dog can feel secure, enjoy their time, and have fun—all while staying under steady and attentive supervision.

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: I have taken care of my family dog in many different capacities since I was 6 years old, and I enjoy walking, playing with, or just being active around all different kinds of dogs! I currently work at a middle school, so my summers, weekends, and afternoons are generally free! I also live in a pet-friendly home and a great spot for walks near the downtown New Bedford area. I make sure pets I’m taking care of can get a proper amount of attention and activity, so it feels like less of a scary change and more of a fun playdate.

“Kristie was great with my anxious dog who took some time warming up. She took extra time to make sure she was okay and communicated with me each time.”

About: I am an animal lover. I think animals are better than people, lol, they just want to be loved and someone to show them attention and play with them. I am 58 years old and have had many dogs, cats and even a rabbit and oh yes chickens but we won’t go there, lol. My daughter is all grown up and I do not work anymore so I am available most often. I am a very loyal and trust worthy person. I am upbeat and a positive. If I say I am available then I will be. I’ll always tell you if I can’t do it.

I am very reliable and if I say I’m going to show up I will! I will feed them clean up after them and just love them. I will play with them and make them not feel alone. Thank you

About: i’ve had pets ever since I was 5 i’ve loved dogs for as long as i can remember. And animals never seem to have a problem, they get along with me just fine. I currently own a guinea pig and he’s my best little friend. I’m definitely getting a dog in the future. I’m lways available for some lovey time with your pet 🫶🏽 I am currently in college. but I am available around my classes because they are online classes that I can take in my own time. Wednesday and Thursday I have scheduled classes in the late afternoon but we could work around that since the classes are online. I will care for your pet just as I care for mine and, will do anything that’s asked. Your pet is in great hands. There is also a dog park right next to my house, if you prefer to drop your dog we can go on a stroll to the park.

“Melissa was amazing! I needed a few last minute drop ins for my Frenchie Ollie and she responded super quickly. She was super flexible, communicative and Ollie Man was super happy when I came home. Highly recommend!”

About: I recently fostered a dog this summer (pittie mix) for 3 weeks. I learned how to build her confidence and respect her boundaries. I also love going on walks and sleepovers with friends’ dogs. I work full time but am usually free starting at 3pm during the week depending on location and free during the weekends. I am looking to get in several walks a week! I will follow any directions you have for pet care for your specific dog. I have experience with crating dogs and do not mind loving dogs unaware of their own size and strength!
