About: I’ve had the pleasure of being a pet sitter professionally as well as family and friends for over 10 years now. I’ve lived with a lab/pit/shepherd mix for two years. I was also an owner and trainer of a multilingual Havanese. He was trained to understand commands in English, Chinese & Spanish. He was also trained to sing, dance and jump into any vessel on command! I can follow any specific training instructions or schedule you may have specifically for your fur babies. Cats always seem to enjoy my presence, seeking massages, playtime or attention. Looking forward to meeting your loved ones and becoming fast friends! My schedule is flexible and I can almost always be available at a moment’s notice depending on the location. I am always happy to be of service in a bind. I’d care for pets in your homes according to your specific needs and guidelines. It’s important for me to facilitate a seamless transition and experience for both owners and pets, avoiding disruption to the schedule or environment. I understand and consider the attachment that your fur or furless family members have to you so I aim to be a comforting presence as much as possible.

About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was young. From watching dogs for friends to venturing to dog parks with my dog. I have owned animals for most of my life. I own a caviled King Charles and a calico cat. I am passionate about animals and want any excuse I can to be around them! I am a teacher so I have off this summer! So I have tons of free time to do whatever pet care you need! I am very flexible and am frequently available on weekends! I luv win a quiet neighborhood with little to no traffic. I am located very close to many dog friendly parks that I would love to take your dog to!

About: I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, and I’m comfortable following specific routines, feeding schedules, and care instructions. I know how important it is to have peace of mind, so I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages during every visit or walk. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to each dog’s unique needs. Whether your furry friend loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply taking their time to sniff every tree, I’ll make sure they have a great experience. As a teacher, I am currently off for the summer and have a very flexible schedule. I am available all days of the week, including weekdays and weekends, for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. During the school year, my availability is more limited, but I will always update my calendar in advance so pet parents can plan accordingly. I care for pets in my clients’ homes by following their established routines to help animals feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I make sure to provide fresh food and water, regular walks or playtime, litter box or potty breaks, and plenty of attention and affection based on each pet’s personality and needs. I also keep the home tidy, respect all instructions, and send updates with photos so you always know how your pet is doing while you’re away.

About: I have pet sat and walked for many family friends over the years, have 7 years of experience as a Veterinary Assistant in both general practice and emergency since 2019, graduated with a BS in Pre-Veterinary medicine from the University of Massachusetts Amherst in 2023, and am American Red Cross Certified in Cat and Dog First Aid. During my time working I have had hands on experience administrating medications, and working with dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments. I’ve had cats since I was born and have had my dog since 2019. I absolutely love dog sitting and getting to meet and take care of everyone’s babies like my own! :) Pet care is currently my part-time work for this summer! I’m going back to school in September for my Radiologic Technologist program. Still need my cat and dog time though! I am very knowledgeable in both dog and cat body language, how to care for them, can give medications (pills, topical ointments, certain injections), and bathe if needed if given the proper supplies! I will always make sure your pet is safe, whether it be in the outside or in the home (locking doors, checking the yard, etc).

About: I have been a in-home pet sitter for the past six years for a medium size dog who had special needs as a puppy. I also am a pet photographer and have done pet portraits and holiday cards! I recently lost my beloved dog Zoey, who I had for over 12 years. I love dogs deeply, and welcome them into my home. I am available on a part time basis with more availability during the summer months. Weekends are ideal but I can be available after 5pm on weekdays or early morning. I live in a pet friendly apartment building, in a dog friendly neighborhood! My apartment is in the smaller side but dog and cat safe!

“Meryn was attentive, kind, and well knowledgeable! I will definitely be seeking her help again with our dog!”

About: With over 27 years of hands-on experience in animal care, I have dedicated much of my life to nurturing, raising, and understanding the needs of a wide variety of animals. From a young age, I was immersed in environments that required consistent, compassionate care for pets, developing a deep-rooted passion and natural intuition for animal welfare. Throughout the years, I’ve gained extensive experience in feeding, grooming, administering basic medications, and observing animal behavior for signs of distress or illness. My approach is always centered around patience, empathy, and attention to individual needs—ensuring that every animal in my care feels safe, loved, and well-cared for. I currently have a beloved fur baby of my own, who receives the highest standard of care and attention. This personal commitment reflects the level of dedication I bring to all animals under my supervision. Whether it’s routine care or emotional comfort, I pride myself on creating a nurturing and structured environment for every animal. As a lifelong animal lover and experienced caregiver, pets are an integral part of my everyday life. My home is not just a place for my own beloved fur baby—it's a welcoming, safe, and nurturing environment for any pet in my care. Because of my personal commitment to animal well-being, I’m home the majority of the time, which allows me to provide constant supervision, companionship, and routine check-ins throughout the day. When boarding with me, your pet will experience a comfortable, secure, and engaging home environment—both indoors and outdoors. Inside, pets enjoy a cozy, climate-controlled space where they are treated like family. I maintain a clean and organized home, with designated pet-friendly areas for rest, play, and feeding. Whether your fur baby prefers quiet time or interactive play, I tailor the indoor experience to meet their individual needs, including any special care routines or accommodations. Outdoors, your pet will have access to a fully fenced-in yard—perfect for safe exploration, exercise, and fresh air. The space is ideal for dogs who love to run, play fetch, or simply lounge in the sun. Supervised outdoor time is incorporated into the daily routine, ensuring plenty of opportunities for physical activity and mental stimulation. In addition, I have a friendly, well-socialized dog who can serve as a playful companion if your pet enjoys the company of others. However, I also understand that not all pets are social butterflies, and I am fully prepared to keep them separated to ensure a calm and stress-free environment for everyone. Whether your pet thrives on companionship or prefers their own space, I adapt to what makes them most comfortable and secure.

“Stacey was incredibly patient, helpful and respectful! She took the time to get to know our dog before doing a drop in visit for over an hour and taking her for a walk. Took many pictures and did more than I could ask.”

About: I’ve lived with four different dogs over the years of different breeds, helping to sit, feed, and walk them! Also more recently I was doing pet sitting for cats and dogs in Australia, which you can see some of the photos and reviews in my profile here! I currently work from home for myself and have a flexible schedule to be able to accommodate dog walking throughout the week! Ideally a 24/hr advanced booking is best, but I can also “at times” be available for same day bookings! I feel it’s best to first meet the owners and dog together to establish a rapport and warm the dog up to me! Having a good chat with the others as well as any particular instructions as to the dogs needs/behaviors is key to a smooth and happy experience for all!

“Patricia was great with my cat, Skitty! We hired her to do drop-ins to set up the auto-feeders, clean up his litterbox, and play and cuddle with him. She is very communicative and sent lots of photos, which I appreciate so much. She made sure to update me on other things going on in the house as well. I would highly recommend her for cat sitting. Thank you so much, Patricia!”

About: I have 20+ years of caring for animals of all types. My own dog was unfortunately allergic to grass and almost every type of food. He needed to receive weekly injections in the nape of his neck which I would administer as well as following his prescription protocols to the tee. As the general manager of several different Petcos and PetSmart's, I have amassed quite a bit of knowledge about many animals, especially dogs. I am a nutrition specialist, have experience in grooming, am knowledgeable of natural and medicinal ways to calm hyperactivity, and have extensive experience in many different types of training from proper walking, issuing commands, house breaking, interacting with other dogs, and multiple other aspects of whatever is necessary. If I cannot answer your questions, the trustworthy contacts I have amassed throughout my tenure at these establishments would be more than happy to help with their vast wealth of information. I have also had the unpleasant experience of helping dogs who are experiencing life threatening health complications and know what I am capable of, an also when it is time to seek medical attention. All credentials aside, I truly do love and appreciate animals of all kinds and can't wait to meet yours! I currently work part time and my job is a 2 minute drive from my house so your animal will never be left alone for more than an hour or less. I have a fenced in yard with trees on all sides. I live across the street from an elementary school with a massive fenced in field which is where I like to walk and play fetch and other games with dogs. I have been given carte blanche by the workers there as I have lived here for so many years so I can come and go as I please without any interference.

“We have a very old cat, who requires insulin twice a day, and Sarah made us feel so comforted while we were away. She sent us several pictures everyday and communicated with us during each visit. We highly recommend Sarah!”
