About: My husband and I live with our 7 and 4 yr old girls in a sidewalk lined Westborough neighborhood. In your reservation, please mention any behavioral patterns or phobias. (Does your dog take a while to do business outside? Does he or she squat several times? How long can he or she go without potty breaks? Do we have a runner?) Bring your pup, I'll bring the love and care! P.S. Please bring a crate for your dog if in the past, your dog has gotten into things and chewed. Many dog owners find themselves surprised that their dogs may exhibit destructive behavior at a sitter's house that they do not exhibit at home, like chewing and tearing things up. Your dog, in this case, will only be crated while we are out of the house. My husband works full-time, while I am home intermittently. But your baby will get lots of attention. During the weekdays, the house sits empty anywhere 3-5hrs. Your pet must be OK with that. I grew up with dogs: Scottish Terrier, Jack Russell Terrier, Rottweiler, Dachshunds, Chinese Crested, and Silky Terriers are the dogs my family members have owned and loved in my lifetime. I have no dogs of my own (anymore), but two little girls who just love and crave a dog in the house. If your dog is a no-no on little kids, this will not be a good fit for you.
“Emily is awesome and takes wonderful care of our dog… she sends pictures of her time with him and leaves thorough details about how he did while in her care. We are beyond pleased!!”
“Isabelle is amazing! She is super flexible, so sweet, and great with my 6 year old golden retriever! She exercised Chloe so well at the dog park, that Chloe was smiling ear to ear and was completely and happily worn out, in only 30 minutes! Plus, it allowed me to enjoy playing with my 14 month old baby at the park, without having to worry about splitting my attention or getting tangled up in the leash, chasing after the baby and the fur-baby. Will definitely be using Isabelle again! Thanks so much Isabelle!”
About: For all 21 years of my life I have owned pets. 2 dogs and 4 cats is the count so far. There is nothing that brings me more joy, peace, and passion than taking care of, and simply being around animals of any kind. The animal experience I put in the bio is reflective of my personal experience. Professionally I have volunteered for 6 months at a therapeutic animal farm and was responsible for chores for all farm animals. I also had a month stint doing a more intensive Workaway program where I did similar chores with larger animals. I am hoping to become more serious as an animal sitter and caretaker, with this being my first step to get there. I have experience with my own pup taking him on walks, administering medication orally, light grooming (mostly brushing), feeding (willing to cook them meals), and any other tasks you may need I am always willing to learn. I look forward to working with you and your furry friend soon! I’m currently working very part-time in a job that unexpectedly is not very reliable. I have plenty of downtime to take care of your pets and would only ever be gone for a few hours at a time if I was scheduled in for work. I am trying to make Rover a priority if I get frequent bookings here, so the animal will always come first. Unless specified through direct communication I am free during the week and weekends Depending on the service you officially decide I will include info about my own property as well: I have a fenced yard with plenty of room to run around in. There is a pool, so if your pet likes water, they can have at it! My dog lives between two homes, so if your pet is not good with other dogs he can always go to the other house and vice versa. I try to walk my dog every day when I am with him, and obviously maintain all the necessities such as food and always having water in his bowls. If there are any specific accommodations you need either at my house or yours I am always willing to consider options. Finally, if you feel like your pet does well with dogs and wants a friend to play with I am happy to bring him to your home for visits of any length.
About: With years of hand-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, I offer reliable, loving pet care in a calm and comfortable environment. As a retired and active women, I have the time, energy, and heart to give your furry friend the attention they deserve. Whether its daily walks, playtime, or just companionship while you're away, I treat every pet like my own. I am retired so have tons of flexibility - whether its morning, or evenings - weekends. I am around! My schedule is open for fury friends. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priority. I provide a safe, clean, and cozy home where your pet will be treated like family. I offer a calm environment with plenty of love, attention, and space for play and rest. With years of experience caring for animals, I prioritize each pet’s unique needs, ensuring they feel secure and happy while you’re away. You can relax knowing your furry friend is in a warm, trustworthy home filled with care and comfort.
