Dog Sitting in Plainville

About: I have had dogs my whole life! I have had numerous jobs caring for and staying in homes to care for pets while families are away. I am currently available for quick visits or even longer stays! My schedule is very flexible at the moment, so I am happy to be of help where/when needed! I have two English Cream Golden Retrievers at home on an electric fence. Happy to discuss your home requirements when it comes to your pup!

About: Dogs have been one of the great loves of my life. I've been taking care of them, and doing life with them for years :) I currently work full time and will be a graduate nursing student in the fall, pet care fits into my routine as a side gig! I care for pets by treating them as if they are a loved member of my own family, caring for their individual needs always :)

“Lauren has been very responsive throughout the booking process, flexible as our work schedules change, prompt, and most importantly, our puppy loves her! I would highly recommend her for pop in visits and/or walks.”

About: I grew up in a household that couldn't have pets due to severe allergies within the family. I've always had a strong love for animals of all kinds, and it was always such a bummer not being able to bring an animal home to care for. That never stopped me from pet-sitting though. I've watched over a range of ages, from puppies and kittens to sleepy sweet seniors. I also currently work at a doggy daycare, something I love to do during my time off from my full-time job. It's given me an incredible amount of insight into animal behavior and specifically canine body language. Our pups are always communicating with us. We just have to know what to look for. I'm always down to take your companions on adventures, because an enriched and fulfilled dog is a happy dog, whether it's hiking, sniffing around a new neighborhood, or learning to play a new game. If adventures do occur, I have a variety of car seat sizes available to keep your pups safe and secure if need be. I have an American Red Cross Certificate of Completion for Cat and Dog First Aid (expires: 08/30/2027). Copies can be distributed upon request. I currently work full time at a hospital, 7 days on and 7 days off. I'm available most mornings to drop in and hang out with your furry friend(s)! Whether it's for a cuddle, a potty break, a walk around the neighborhood, or even a car ride and a hike for the more adventurous, I'm open to all activities. My availability is limited to mornings at this time, but during my weeks off I can offer more hours. I'm happy to discuss that further if necessary! Truthfully, my schedule is not the most consistent, however I can guarantee it'll be made up for in passion and genuine companionship for your beloved furry friends. I'm willing to take on same day bookings; I understand that life can get hectic and emergencies happen. My available days will remain that, available. While I am not currently boarding in my home, I'm more than happy to drop in on your little one(s). Your house rules apply, and detailed instructions would be incredibly helpful in ensuring your pet gets its needs met while you are not home. I can and will happily provide frequent updates (or less if that is your preference). Meet & greets are required prior to confirming bookings for house sitting or long term bookings. It's to ensure that I am able to obtain all the information required to properly care for your pet.

“Molly was awesome! Great detailed communication, prompt and complete visits. She is friendly and enthusiastic, we felt assured that our pets were well cared for while we were away. Will definitely use her again!”

About: Hello, my name is Sophia! I am located in Franklin, MA. I’ve been working in the animal care industry for 5 years and have worked at multiple different daycare/boarding facilities. I not only have experience in pet care, but also dog training. I am looking forward to meeting you and your pup/kitty! I am currently working per diem so my schedule can be inconsistent. However, since I do not work the same hours every week, I will be better able to make the time that adheres to your needs and schedule. Your pup’s health and safety will always be my top priority. During walks or overnight stays, your dog/cat will be my main focus at all times. I am always on top of your pets needs whether it is a walk, potty break, play time, feeding & water, or litter scooping; no task is too big or small.

“Payton is honestly one of the best pet sitters I’ve ever came across. I am so happy and grateful that I found someone as trusting, kind, caring, and very loving towards my animals. I have one dog that is very anxious and scared of people, as well as other dogs. He warmed up to her right away and seemed so calm and happy when we golt home. Paton definitely is a gem she kept in contact with me sending me pictures and letting me know how the dogs were doing. She is so attentive, came on time and always kept me informed. She is lovely with animals and we are looking forward to her sitting for us in July. Thank you for treating my anxious dog with such care and love. I also appreciate her going out of her way and putting out packages inside when it was raining outside.”

“Jerry is trustworthy, prompt, wonderful with pets. I cannot say enough good things about Jerry.”

About: I'm a safe, dependable dog walker and sitter. I treat all pets lovingly. I adopted my Golden Doodle at three years old after I retired. She's like my child! I patiently let her acquaint herself into my home. She welcomes other friendly dogs. I watched a Doxy Doodle for four months and my Golden Doodle was very welcoming and friendly. I am loving and nurturing to all pets, keep them safe, and take care of their needs so they are happy. I'm semi-retired, and work from home. I do my errands, and in the near future will be working two nights per week. This gives me plenty of time to watch your pet, and make sure their needs are met. My house is a safe clean environment. I have a fenced in yard with a friendly Golden Doodle to keep your pet company. Also a nice neighborhood for walks and other friendly dogs. I have furniture covers that I keep clean, and allow pets on my furniture for their comfort.

“Thank you so much for taking care of the kitties!!! You kept me in the loop and up to date on their status and behaviors. With both kitties having medical issues and needing special care, I appreciate the attention to detail and additional time you took to make sure everything was just right. Thank you so much!!!”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for German Shepherds, so I’m very comfortable with large, high-energy dogs. I also have a cat and experience with smaller pets like bunnies, so I understand how to adjust care based on each animal’s needs and personality. I’m patient, attentive, and focused on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and on their routine. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet like my own. Im currently homeschooled, in my senior year. My schedule is open I’m available everyday all day. I will be attending college in the fall. My dog, cat, and bunny are very well taken care of (photos in profile), Oreo my cat is the most spoiled he is the king of the house. Bunny is free range she is literally a dog most of the time haha. Shea my doggie is now older so she is more layed back in the playing department but she loves the outside time!

“She’s amazing. Salem was so excited to see her and she took very good care of him”

About: I’ve dedicated my life to working with animals and just completed my Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science at UConn. Since I was 10 years old, I have fostered orphaned kittens and pregnant mother cats and volunteered with the Mansfield Animal Shelter. I have also worked in a veterinary clinic, a kennel environment, and raised two guide dogs through a professional guide dog program. My experience includes caring for newborn kittens, senior pets, administering medications, puppy socialization, and handling dogs with a wide range of temperaments and energy levels. I have trained and handled dogs ranging from puppies to seniors, including my own workingline German Shepherd. I am comfortable using and properly implementing a variety of training tools and understand the importance of tailoring care and training to each individual dog. Whether your dog is reactive, nervous around new people, or a social butterfly, I will provide patient and attentive care. I have a flexible weekday schedule and am able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. While I am sometimes busy on weekends, I am usually local and may have availability depending on the booking. I pride myself on providing dependable care, maintaining routines, and keeping owners updated throughout their pet’s stay. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. With experience in veterinary medicine, guide dog raising, animal shelters, and fostering, I understand the importance of maintaining routines and recognizing changes in behavior or health. I carefully follow all owner instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and training. Whether your dog is reactive, shy, energetic, or highly trained, I tailor my care to their individual needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to create a safe, positive, and stress-free experience while you’re away.

About: I have taken care of dogs of all ages and sizes. I often pet sit for puppies only a few months old, and cared for my senior girl as her mobility decreased. I have also taken care of dogs that followed strict diets and medication routines. Providing the care that your dog requires to keep them happy and healthy is my priority! Whether they prefer to take it easy and chill on the couch, or go on long walks and play fetch for hours, I will adapt and ensure your pup is happy. I am currently finishing up my master’s degree, and am doing my internship part time during the week. My schedule is flexible for the days that I provided availability, so I am happy to adapt to your needs! I am happy to follow the safety guidelines and routines that you have set for your pet. I have a fenced in yard at my home for my pets, and they roam in and out all day. However, I have also watched pets without a fenced in yard that needed to be leashed when they go outside so I am happy to adapt and supervise your dog just as you would! If you prefer to crate your dog when they are indoors, I will happily do so as well so as to not impact your pet’s sense of normalcy and the rules they need to follow. If you prefer your dog to be alone on walks, I’d be happy to walk them in places where there are few other people or dogs around so that they feel safe.

“Lisa is amazing!!!! She went above and beyond for my little guy. I was so nervous leaving him at home by himself and Lisa made me feel so much better. She provided updates as to how he was doing, she sent my pictures of him, and was awesome with him. Can’t recommend her enough with your furry babies”

About: Hi! My name is Tara, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I have several years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m also an experienced Olde English Bulldogge breeder, which has given me extensive knowledge in animal behavior, puppy care, feeding routines, medication administration, transportation, and providing a safe, structured environment for pets. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, boarding, puppy check-ins, nail trims, and local and long-distance pet transportation. I’m also a USDA-certified pet transporter, experienced in safely transporting pets for relocations, breeder transport, vet appointments, and airport pickups. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priority. My home is pet friendly with a fenced-in yard, and I have dogs and cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust someone caring for your pets. I treat every animal like family and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, love, and care while you’re away. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I take the time to build trust and make them feel comfortable. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, overnight care, transportation, or just extra attention during the day, I’m here to help provide dependable, compassionate care you can feel confident about. I currently work as a school bus driver, so my availability follows the school calendar. During the school year, I carefully schedule pet care services around my route to ensure every pet receives reliable, attentive care. With summer break approaching, my availability will increase significantly, allowing me to accept more walks, drop-in visits, transportation services, and boarding requests. Boarding is offered on a limited, case-by-case basis to ensure each pet receives the attention, supervision, and comfortable environment they deserve. I have a fenced yard and a pet-friendly home, and I strive to treat every pet as if they were my own. If you're looking for care outside my listed availability, feel free to reach out—I may be able to accommodate your needs depending on my schedule. Providing a safe, comfortable, and trustworthy environment is my top priority. I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, including experience as an Olde English Bulldogge breeder and a USDA-certified pet transporter. This background has given me extensive knowledge of animal behavior, proper handling, health monitoring, and pet safety. My home is pet-friendly with a securely fenced yard for supervised outdoor time. Pets are never left unattended in unsafe situations, and I carefully monitor interactions to ensure everyone remains comfortable and stress-free. Because I only accept boarding on a limited, case-by-case basis, I can provide personalized attention and maintain a calm environment for each guest. I understand that trusting someone with your furry family member is a big decision. That's why I focus on clear communication, following your pet's routine, and treating every dog in my care as if they were one of my own. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel confident, comfortable, and cared for from drop-off to pick-up. 🐾

About: I have loved taking care of pets my whole life. My family eventually got a dog of our own and I was the main caretaker for the dog. I taught her tricks and spend a lot of time with her. Since getting her, I have had multiple opportunities to dog sit for people in my community, including taking care of two dogs at once (in the same household). I am the first person people reach out to when they need someone to watch their dog. I am a student at SUU but I don’t have classes for more than 2 hours at a time. I do attend church on Sundays so I would be away for some time during that as well. I am very willing and able to learn what your routine is with your dogs. If they spend a lot of time outside in a fenced area or need to be in a crate or taken for walks, I will be sure to abide by your instructions.

“Aaron was the best he had to upmost due diligence while taking care of my dogs , and they loved him!”

“I hired Renee to care for my kitties while I have been away. She stayed just as long as I asked her to and sent me plenty of videos while playing with my cats and kitten. They were definitely happy to see her and I will be booking her again! She has a genuine passion for animals :)”

“Kiley was great! She was understanding that our kitty is extremely shy and kept us updated while we were away. She even accommodated an extra drop in on extremely short notice. I definitely recommend her!!”
