“We've been going to Dorota with our 2-year-old Boxer mix, Remi, for over a year! We absolutely LOVE her! She's very kind and gives exceptional care to all the dogs she takes care of. Our dog loves her so much that he can't wait to go to daycare! We cannot recommend her enough!”

“Elaine is an incredibly gifted woman regarding dog training. She is a gem. Our 4-month-old puppy spent two full days at her doggie day care and loved it. She commands attention from all dogs, small and large, and it felt so safe to leave our pup with her. She updated us with several photos of our pup’s activities throughout each day.

About: I have been taking care of animals big and small for as long as I can remember! When I was in my early teens I started pet sitting, and once I was 18 I began working on local horse farms; mucking stalls, and learning as much as I could along the way. I take pride in knowing I am knowledgeable and dependable; I’ve fulfilled duties as grand as farm/kennel sitting- (meticulous care; maintaining medicine and feed schedules, cleaning services, turn in and out, organization of multiple and large quantity of animals at a time) …. I’ve spent time with all different types of personalities of all different species; aggressive ankle biters to couch potato gentle giants. Over the past decade and a half I have enjoyed the company of horses, goats, chickens, rabbits, pigs, cattle, dogs, cats, birds and reptiles. I love animals and I love providing quality care. I am observant and trustworthy- feel free to ask me anything!! I would like to make this more than part time! I have a very flexible schedule as of lately with no obligations aside from being busy a few early mornings out of the week; as I do work on a farm still as needed. Shoot me a message and let’s talk scheduling! I have a private backyard, not fenced in but I am more than vigilant and always have time and patience for leash walks and hikes, and leashed/supervised backyard shenanigans. Whatever you and your animal are comfortable with; we will make it happen and I can accommodate accordingly.

“Alani is great with communicating with me about Legend. He was well taken care of and was really happy . Legend also had a fur friend to play with . I will definitely be back .”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 7 years. I also have a beautiful husky to keep me busy. Family and neighbors have relied on me to care and love their pet. I will have plenty of time to play with your pup. my schedule is very flexible. I’m also available able on weekends, and also evenings. I have a designated area for your pup to play as well as another dog to keep him busy. I can easily create your dog a place for him to feel comfortable and safe.

“Our dog Ori stayed with Kristen for doggy daycare and had a blast! We got picture and video updates throughout the day, and Ori was happy when we picked her up and fell right to sleep once we got home!”


“I always rebook with Blaine. He’s very nice, and super reliable! My dog Apollo tends to be anxious at times, but he’s always so comfortable with Blaine and his other dogs. He always sends updates, and is very flexible. 10/10 I will continue to rebook :)”


About: The thing that sets me apart from the rest is I have been around dogs since I was born. I really take the time to give them love and take care of their needs. Pet sitting fits into my routine on the weekends or anytime I am off from school such as college breaks. Just need to message and I will check my schedule. In my home I will feed them, walk them, play with them. Same goes to the clients home. I am also open to whatever the client needs or would like me to do for their pet.

“Kristin was great with Rizzo! We chatted on the phone before I dropped her off for a daycare session with her at her home. She was quick to respond the app and provided many photos throughout the day with her. Rizzo received lots of love and attention while Kristin worked remote. Great green yard out back!”


About: I am your pet sitting solution! Your pets are my passion. I am finally doing what I love! Now that I work out of my home I am able to service my repeat clients needs every day of the week around the clock. I am currently accepting new clients due to our indoor and outdoor spaces expanding. One of the most difficult things to do is dropping your furry friends off to an unknown place with a handler they have no history with. That is why I begin with a Meet and Greet to make sure I am the right fit. Typically I become your best friend's second best friend instantly. * Please be sure to book well in advance on school vacations and summer break. In addition, we are one of the few pet sitters that accept emergency drop offs! At my place in Taunton, I have a large fenced in play area. Upon entering the fenced in area there is two gates for security and a large gate on the opposite end for quick access and safety. The large play area is often split into two when we have smaller dogs. Daily activities do not just include playing in the yard, your fur baby can expect to go on structured walks, and depending on the weather we even take them hiking! I also work one on one with the dogs as they particularly enjoy the mental stimulation when working on commands. We love strengthening your dogs rules and commands while they stay with us. Safety is the number one priority that is why we begin with a Meet and Greet. Please reach out with any safety questions. Your Pet Deserves the Best.
