Dog Sitting North Grafton

About: I am a fear-free certified professional trainer! Because of this along with almost a decade of experience, I am very confident in handling nervous or less-than-friendly dogs. I've absolutely adored animals of all kinds since I was a little kid, even the ones that most people were afraid of. As an adult, I've worked in shelters, kennels, and in client's homes without incident! Depending on the days, I may have to make short trips away to train my client dogs. I will gladly spend the entirety of the rest of my time with your pets, including overnights! I am happy to follow a schedule if one is provided. I will also provide video or picture updates as frequently as requested. I will also be happy to check the house the pet is staying in to make sure it's safe for the pet. Any messes or accident's are no problem for me to clean up and I will inform the owner about them.

“Gabriela was awesome! She was very thorough and took great care of our cats! I will gladly book her again when we need someone to watch them!”

About: Is your pup a social eater who gets a little sad when their humans are away? Don’t worry—I’m more than happy to sit on the floor with them, offer some calm encouragement, and help them feel comfortable enough to eat at their own pace. Maybe your senior cat needs medication, injections, or someone to keep a close eye on their resting respiratory rate, appetite, water intake, or other important health changes. Or maybe your furry family member simply needs someone to stop by for fresh food and water, playtime, and plenty of snuggles while you’re away. Whatever your pet’s needs, I’ll care for them with the same dedication and attention I give my own. I have extensive experience caring for both cats and dogs, including seniors and pets with complex medical needs. I’m comfortable administering medications, giving injections, following detailed care instructions, and adapting to each pet’s unique routine. If your pet has a specific schedule or care plan, I’m happy to follow it closely to keep their routine as familiar and stress-free as possible. Whether your pet needs extra patience, a calm presence, or specialized care, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I also lived with veterinarians for 15 years, where I gained invaluable practical knowledge about animal behavior, common medical conditions, and the subtle changes that can signal something isn’t quite right. While I’m not a veterinarian, I learned what situations should prompt a call to you or your veterinarian, along with countless practical tips for safely handling and caring for pets. I know how much trust it takes to leave someone else with a member of your family. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your pet will receive the same kindness, patience, attention, and respect I would want for my own. My goal is to match your pet's routine as much as possible while you are away, and my schedule reflects that. In addition to pet sitting, I care for an elderly family member, which allows for a lot of flexibility. I’m happy to come to your home, where your pet is most comfortable and their routine stays as normal as possible. My goal is to earn your cat or dog’s trust so they see my visits as something to look forward to while they’re missing their favorite people. With cats, I let them set the pace. I wait for them to approach, sniff me, and decide when they’re ready to say hello. Dogs are usually much more social, but I still like to get down to their level and let them get to know me before we jump into playtime or a walk. Trust is everything—both for your pets and for you. I want you to feel confident that your furry family member is safe, happy, and cared for just the way you would care for them yourself.

“Lila is amazing with my pup - it was too hot for a walk so she made sure my dog had some one-on-one time, a bathroom break, and lots of attention!”

About: I am a reliable dog sitter for friends and family. I owned 2 of my own dogs in the past, a boxer and cocker spaniel mix. I have a pretty flexible/varied schedule. Please send me a message and we can definitely work something out to fit the needs of your pet! Whichever directions or specifications you have for your pet I will always do my best to follow them! I do not offer home services at the moment.

“Excellent pet sitter! She was always on time, flexible, and genuinely caring. My pet is on a temporary medicine and she helped with administration with the same care as if it were her own pet. Her expertise was evident, and she even went above and beyond by giving my pet a get-well treat at her own expense. Highly recommended!”

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Julia! Fitzy and Javi are extremely shy, fearful, and apprehensive around strangers, so I was very nervous about leaving them in someone else’s care. Julia went above and beyond to spend extra time with them, earn their trust, and make them feel safe and comfortable. She was always responsible, punctual, professional, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. I could tell she truly cared about my boys and treated them as if they were her own. Knowing they were in such good hands gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I would absolutely recommend Julia to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate cat sitter, and I cannot wait to book with her again in the future! Fitzy and Javi say, “Thank you, Julia! We hope to see you again soon!””

“Laura took great care of our cat while we were on vacation for ten days. She kept in regular contact with us, and our cat was in good spirits when we got home. We would definitely hire Laura again!”

About: I have taken care of pets and houses through TrustedHouseSitters since 2022. I have completed over 13 sits and have a 5 star rating. I have taken care of many cats and dogs of various ages and sizes, including golden retrievers, labs, Irish water spaniel, Yorkshire terriers, Maltese, pomeranians, Scottish terrier, Bichon/Poodle and mutts of many varieties. I respect a pet's schedule and aim to make them as comfortable as possible. I can handle reactive dogs while on walks. I can administer medications in pill or powder form if the pet is compliant. I love brushing animals if the pet is willing. Personally, I had 2 wonderful medium size dogs growing up. Sadie (German shephard and collie mix) and Mindy (collie and mystery mix) taught me compassion, patience and so many tricks. As an adult, I adopted my first cat in 2026. While I did not grow up in a cat family, if felt like a rite of passage as a librarian. I am thoroughly enjoying being a cat mom to an incredibly talkative and playful cat. He is very opinionated and craves human interaction. I work full time so I will typically only be available for overnights, walks or check-ins on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. For cat check-ins, I may be able to accommodate weekdays depending on your location. I have taken care of animals in their own home for over 4 years. I like to follow owner instructions as closely as possible because it is will make the pet most comfortable. I always use caution when entering/exiting the home and while walking dogs.

“Tori was able to squeeze in my very short notice appointment, she followed every instruction provided and most importantly used the 30ft leash provided so my dog could go to his favorite place to run laps! Couldn’t be happier and would recommend her to anyone looking for reliability! I will be using her again!”

“This was our first time leaving our pets with a sitter and we were very nervous to say the least. Paul went above and beyond to make sure our kitties were well cared for and sent us lots of pictures. We will definitely book with Paul again the next time we go out of town.”

“Jessica is the best! I have used her a couple of times to care for my cat while I’m away. She is very communicative, takes great care of my cat, and goes the extra mile to take packages inside without even being asked. Jessica is great and any pet in her care will be well taken care of. Thanks Jessica!”

About: I’ve loved animals since I was a kid, especially dogs. I’ve taken care of, fed, walked, bathe, and help train my family dog since we adopted him 10 years ago. I am an active person and enjoy walks, so taking care of dogs never feels like a job to me! I’m currently waiting for my job to start and have time throughout the week to walk dogs, pet sit, and stop by for potty breaks. I’m an active individual and enjoy going for walks and being outdoors. I am very attentive to an animals need's and am a quick thinker in case of an emergency. I understand that every dog is different, and gaining their love and trust takes time and affection.

About: I've always had dogs growing up, as well as my extended family and friends. They've consistently been an important part of my life and I take pride in caring for them, and interacting with them more than people! I am currently working part time, so I have more free time to spend with not only my dog, but other families and friends that need assistance with their pets as well! I personally have a fenced in backyard that my dog uses, but I have experience in the past with dog-sitting for people without the luxury of a fenced in yard. I have worked with smaller lap dogs, but also large dogs as well that need confident dog sitters/walkers who can take them on longer walks and more challenging enrichment.

About: I'm a nature enthusiast and lifelong animal lover. My passion for pet care started at 12, walking my neighbors' dogs for candy, and by 13 I was volunteering at my local animal hospital. With years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities, I'm committed to providing dependable, attentive care and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away. I am free Any week day after 6pm until night fall. I can spend as much time in the evenings as you need! I can be flexible with my weekends upon request. I have no pets of my own at home so your companion will have the luxury of my undivided attention! I pay very close attention to detail and follow directions very well so i can provide whatever kind of care you need & treat your fur baby like my own!
