About: I've been petsitting and dog walking since I was in middle school. I love all animals and have experience working with many kinds from big to small, hoofed to pawed, and furry to scaly. I will treat your pets like my own and send you frequent updates and photos so you can see how good of a time your pets have in my care. I am available 7 days a week for petsitting until I have to go back to school in the fall, as long as I can still go to work on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 8:30 to 5pm. Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Weekends are always free for dogwalking or drop ins any time of day. I will be in the Boston area for school and will continue to dog walk and do drop in visits during the school year. I've been told I have a calm energy that puts pets at ease, but really it's the pets that calm me. I've worked with animals with all sorts of health conditions or disabilities, so I have no issue following specific instructions to satisfy your pet's needs. I'm a very active guy who always has energy for play time and long walks if need be. I'm also very tidy and make sure your house looks exactly the way you left it after my stay.
About: I've cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds since I was a kid, and been a dog mom myself for 12 years. I've done it all - from feeding, walks and playtime, to bathing and cleaning up accidental messes. I currently petsit for friends and family and love every second of it! I treat every animal I care for as if they were my own fur babies. I work from home and make my own schedule so I have lots of time and flexibility to stop in and take care of your furry friend! I'm comfortable walking multiple dogs on leashes and I'm extra patient with dogs who need a little extra support or guidance while on lead. I'm highly aware of my surroundings and keep playtime in safe, enclosed spaces your dog is comfortable in. And as I've cared for my dogs, as well as others' dogs, for about 20 years, I'm really good at reading dog body language and telling when they're tired, needing some rest or water, or still need a few more minutes of sniffing the neighbor's bushes :)
About: With over 10 years of hands-on experience, I bring a lifelong love of dogs and a deep understanding of their care. I grew up caring for our family dogs from puppyhood through their senior years, and I’m comfortable with everything from daily walks, feeding, and playtime to grooming, baths, and administering basic medications. Over the years, I’ve also provided reliable care for friends’ and family members’ dogs, including overnight stays. Whether your pup needs lots of play or extra snuggles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well-loved while you’re away. I am currently available weekdays and weekends for walks, drop in visits and overnight stays. I am working part time and my schedule is flexible. I believe in keeping the lines of communication open! I will keep you posted daily on how your pup is doing and any details of their experience or behavior that I think you should know. I will ask questions if I need more information and I would ask you to let me know anything you are wondering about while you’re away.

About: I got my first cat at age 5 and have had dogs and cats in my life ever since. My dog passed away in 2019 and I miss having pets in my life. I would love to take care of yours! On weekdays, I work until 3:30pm and am free afterwards to take care of your pets. On weekends, my schedule is more flexible and I’d be happy to drop in at all times of day. I am happy to feed, play with, and clean up after your fur babies. I understand that some animals are shy and others need more playtime and I will be attentive to their individual needs.
About: I have walked, sat, played with, and owned many dogs!! I have a golden doodle and a sheepadoodle, Hank and Walter! :) I love dogs. I do not start my full time job until September so I am available weekdays and some weekends. I have very flexible hours! / whatever your pet needs! I have a fenced in yard as well as many great walking paths near by. Also two friendly dogs to keep yours company! Can provide dog bed, treats and more.
About: Genuinely adore all dogs and would be honored to help take care of yours while you’re out and about. I am not afraid to get down and dirty playing with them, or cleaning up any messes. Happy to help and get some dog loving along the way! I work remote and am able to be flexible with my work schedule. I travel sometimes for work, but that’s typically on the weekends and not during the week. I currently live in an apartment that is not suitable for pets, so I would need to do all pet sitting at my client’s residence.
About: I’ve had pets my entire life, and since I was a teenager have walked, bathed, and cared for pets on rover, and worked at a dog daycare and boarding center. Animals are my passion! I am currently out of school so will be fully available to care for animals, though i’m going to school this fall. I’m fully committed to caring for pets and using all my spare time to do so. At my home, I have a friendly dog named Cindy Lou that I care for and love. I have everything a pet owner would need, which is accessible for your pets, too! I will make time for your pets’ needs, no matter what they are.
About: I have been a pet lover my entire life. Growing up, we always had dogs, cats, aquariums and canaries. I have had the pleasure of having several generations of yorkies in my life. My last little Rosie lived for 17 years and enjoyed a loving and pampered life. I love all animals and would care for your pet as if it were my own. I live in a small antique house located a couple of blocks from the Merrimack River. There is a beautiful walking path close to my home that welcomes dog walkers. I have a small brick paved yard that is fenced and secure.Your pet will be pampered and spoiled in my care. We love to go to the beach and have close access to a great dog friendly beach as well as the dog park down the street. In addition to being a pet sitter, I am a realtor, cooking coach and recipe tester. I spend a lot of time in my kitchen which is adjacent to my enclosed yard. Most pets like to be close to me so I always seem to have company when I am cooking. Your pet will feel safe and loved in my home. I know from personal experience how important it is to know your pet will receive the special care and love that they are accustomed to at home. Please note that there may be extra charge for holidays and time after 24 hour period. Custom quotes available. I do work as a realtor but mostly from home. When I do leave your pets will be safe with run of the kitchen and dining room. Otherwise they will be by my side. I am home most of the time and never more than 2 hours a day away. I have a secure fenced in yard and of course will provide several walks a day. I prefer a small dogs that are hopefully trained to do their business outside but having had Yorkies for years I know there are occasional accidents. I will provide them with loving care and lots of hugs and kisses always.

Hope W.
“I've known Hope for many years and can confidently say you won't find a better carer for your critters. Hope has taken care of my persnickety senior kitties many times over the years, and they absolutely adore her. She has also looked after our 60lb anxious senior rescue dog who suffers from both separation anxiety and leash reactivity to other dogs. Hope has managed all of my animals' special needs with love and dedication. She also has dogs of her own who have needed special medical and behavioural care. Hope has done loads of research and learning about how to best accommodate these needs, and she's been tireless in providing them the best care. She never hesitates to reach out for advice that might help her furpeople, and she brings a wealth of knowledge and a calm, gentle presence to all her work with animals.”
