House Sitting in Pocasset

About: Life long animal lover looking for some extra furry snuggles. Let me take care of your baby! I am located in the Forestdale area of Sandwich. I do have one dog of my own a very sweet and energetic Australian cattle dog and shepherd mix named Scottie. He is friendly with most dogs, as long as they are friendly in return. I take care of both dogs & cats. I am comfortable with small, medium and large size dogs. I have had cats, a bunny and a family dog growing up so I am used to being around lots of animals. I am also experienced with senior dogs as well as medication administration. I also have experience with e-collar training if that is something you wish to work on with your dog. I recently stepped away from my full time job so my availability is very open. Please reach out to me and let me know about you and your pets needs. I look forward to meeting and getting to know you both! I recently stepped away from my full time job in the culinary industry so my schedule is quite open and flexible. I have AM & PM availability. I have a dog of my own and have had multiple family pets over the years. I have always struggled with trustworthy and reliable pet care so it is my goal to provide exactly that for you.

About: Reliable, clean and active. I am an absolute animal lover and have been blessed to have watched, walked and cared for many beautiful dogs and cats over the last 15 years. I have good energy and can provide care and love for even the most spunky pets. I am a flight attendant and have extended periods of time off while I'm home. I also have a great deal of flexibility in my schedule and can take time off to accommodate long stays. Love! Play, exercise and attention are a must. Gentle discipline if needed and cleanup. I'm happy to brush and wash the pets as well for an additional fee. Whatever the animal needs I'm happy to give them my full attention.

“Brooke housesat our dog and cat, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! She was an excellent communicator, sending lots of updates and photos throughout the stay. Our dog Bubbles and cat Mittens absolutely loved her, and she made them feel comfortable and cared for. Brooke is hands down the best Rover sitter we’ve ever had, and we highly recommend her services to anyone!”

“Our two Pups (Misty and Maiden) were so well cared for and enjoyed the time they spent with Ashley! We returned from vacation and the house was spotless, the pups happy and energized. I would recommend Ashley for house sitting.”

Maggie D.

“We have a dog that is reactive and it was wonderful to come home to find her calm and happy. We could not be more pleased with the care she got, the pictures we saw, the conditon of our house when we returned home. We will hopefully be able to use Jared many more times in the future.”

“Allyson came by for a meet and greet which made me feel much more relaxed. She was super responsive with pictures and messages. House was left in great condition and the animals were obviously loved!”

About: I love all animals and especially dogs! Trying to save up some money and no better way to do that than to take care of your fur babies! I'm comfortable with almost all animals but have the most experience with dogs. I’m fur mama to my baby Bella (beagle mix). I've had 3 basset hounds and multiple rescue pups from the shelter in my lifetime (personal and family pets). I'm open to the possibility of boarding pets if they are well-behaved/trained, comfortable in new settings, do well with my dog, and are kennel trained. I am available for house-sitting if my pup can come along and depending on my schedule. Please let me know if you have any questions and I look forward to caring for your pets! I work Monday - Friday, and try to work from home a few days a week. My flexibility varies. Depending on needs and distance from work, I can accommodate requests. I have never met a dog or many animals I am not fast friends with. Even those that struggle with anxiety or are a bit scared.

About: I have had dogs my entire life and they are truly the best thing to ever happen to me. I am often called upon to dogsit when family & friends go out of town, I have lots of experience house/dog sitting and when the owners return they always are impressed with how their dog and home were taken care of. I have a rescue dog named Finley who is my whole world so you can rest assured I will treat your dog as my own and spoil them with lots of cuddles and belly rubs. I’m a teacher so weekends I’m always free and am usually always with my dog. I’m available most afternoons for drop in visits or to take your dog for a walk. Summers are also a time when I am completely free and would love to be able to care for your dog(s) while you enjoy a summer vacation! I have a fenced in backyard and a very friendly hound mix dog to keep your dog company. She loves to play and wants to be friends with every dog we meet. I can also easily crate your dog if needed.

About: I have been a devoted pet owner and caregiver for over 30 years. My home is currently a lively environment with five dogs and two cats, so I am very comfortable managing multi-pet households. For the past 15 years, I have also been a professional dog breeder, which has given me deep insight into canine behavior, health, and development from birth through adulthood. I have a particular expertise in working with large and powerful breeds; as the owner of a Cane Corso, I understand the strength and temperament required to handle big dogs safely and confidently. I am also experienced in managing dogs with aggressive or reactive tendencies, ensuring a calm and structured environment for every animal in my care. Whether your pet is a tiny kitten or a 100-pound guardian breed, they will be treated with the same expert care and affection I give my own. I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate my full attention to your pets. While I work as a bartender Monday through Friday from 4:00 PM to 10:00 PM, I am completely free outside of those hours. Additionally, because my own pets are cared for by other family members in my home, your pet will be my sole priority during our time together. I am available for morning and afternoon walks, playtime, and check-ins to ensure your pet stays happy and on their routine. Safety and structure are my top priorities. In my home, I maintain a highly organized environment to ensure every pet feels secure. I use a combination of leashed exercise and off-leash play in secure areas, depending on each dog’s individual recall and temperament. To maintain a calm household, I utilize crating when I am not home to prevent any 'mischief' and ensure everyone stays safe. I am also highly experienced in proper introductions; for instance, I have a specific, controlled process for introducing new people to my Cane Corso to ensure a positive and safe experience for everyone involved. Hygiene is equally important to me, so litter boxes are scooped daily and common areas are kept tidy. Whether in my home or yours, I follow your specific safety protocols to the letter.

“Olivia was the perfect doggie sitter! We will definitely have her back again and again! Thank you Liv!”

“Elizabeth was great! She stopped by to take care of the dogs while I was gone for the weekend. She kept me up to date on how they were doing, played with them, walked them, and made sure they had food and water. Would absolutely recommend Elizabeth if you need a reliable sitter!”

About: I have owned a female Belgian Shepherd mix as a child and she was so intelligent that she won multiple ribbons in local skills competitions. I also owned 2 female Saint Bernards (littermates) who I formally trained as pups. They were extremely sweet and gentle especially with my 3 newborn babies as they came home for the first time. I have done dog walking and sitting for several friends, some who had other animals in the home. I enjoy spending time with animals who give me so much joy. In addition to owning dogs and cats, I have also raised domestic rabbits for 15 years and loved the entire experience of bringing new life into the world. We also have a western hognose snake named Remi and she is really great! My children and many of their friends have enjoyed handling her as she is so calm. Other pets we have had over the years include a bearded dragon named Raja, a rat named Tori and several hamsters and fish. Currently I have an open availability schedule but in future I will have part time jobs that will allow me to fit in pet care when I'm available. I look forward to spending time doing what I love! Currently I have 2 young cats, one domestic rabbit and a snake. Each one gets the best care including feeding, grooming, cleaning litter pans and cages. I would do the same for any clients according to their needs and schedules. Dogs would be walked and played with throughout the day or time of care. The home environment is safe and conducive to accommodating animals.

“Kathleen was wonderful with our dog. I would trust her anytime to watch our dog. She was very kind and responsible. Our dog had a wonderful time and was very happy the whole time. Kathleen sent videos and really put us at ease while we were away. Thank you Kathleen. We are so glad we found you.”

About: Hi! I’m Joanne, a lifelong animal lover who grew up with pets of all shapes and sizes. After sharing many happy years with my beloved fur baby (who passed away in 2024) and pet-sitting for friends and family, I’d now love to help you take care of yours. I know how important it is treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I gave my own pup, so you can rest assured your best friend is in good hands. I’m also certified in pet Reiki. If you’d like a gentle, calming energy session for your pet, I can offer Reiki as an optional add‑on for an additional charge.

My pet care days are 100 % dedicated to furry friends. Whether it’s a quick evening visit or a full‑day board, I’m there—no distractions, just pure pet love. Book me for reliable, focused care every time! I’m a dedicated pet caregiver, so my days are reserved entirely for furry friends—no side gigs, just 100 % focus on your pet. Whether they stay in my safe, cozy home or I visit yours, I follow your exact feeding, medication, walk and play routine, keep the environment quiet and secure, and send you a daily photo or short video update so you always know they’re happy. I also offer an optional Reiki add‑on for extra calm (never a substitute for veterinary care). Choose me for reliable, loving, and personalized care that puts your pet’s well‑being first.

“So happy Grace watched my Nala girl! She took such good care of her, gave me updates/sent pics, and kept the house super tidy. Will definitely use her again!”

About: Hi there 👋🏼 I'm Talia, and I have always been a HUGE animal lover and have gravitated towards caring for pets of all kinds since I was a young child. I have had a dog of my own since my early 20's and have been caring for other's pets for even longer than that. I have had a variety of pets of my own including a hamster, various fish, cats, and dogs in the past, and have cared for a variety of other's pets, including birds, rodents and snakes. People often describe me as caring, thoughtful, attentive and energetic. I love ALL animals (even snakes & reptiles!) but I'd say dogs are my specialty! I'm currently unemployed, looking to make pet sitting and dog walking my full time gig! I do occasional nanny work, caring for kids outside of my home (no kids of my own) but am otherwise pretty free. Currently my schedule is very open and flexible and I am willing to do whatever is needed to help you and your pets! I have 1 pet of my own, my dog, Molly. She is usually great with other dogs (she can be a bit weary of new people at first though, a bit shy and standoffish at first) and if preferred, I can always leave her at home (this only applies to walks and check ins, not house sitting. She will be with me for any/all house sitting.)

“Amanda was great with my 2 dogs, Gus and Hazel. She stayed with them for a week, and kept me updated to ease my nerves leaving them while on vacation! She cuddled them and worked on training while with them both! Would book again for any future vacations!”

“Liza was simply the best. Our dog got sick last minute and Liza saved the day. She was fantastic with my dog Tali who loved her. I would highly recommend Liza to anyone”

About: Our pets mean everything and it is my goal and responsibility to provide the best possible service to ensure your pet's needs are accommodated. Whether it's sitting during the day or overnight, I can provide frequent updates so you're fully aware of how your pet is doing! I know how difficult it can be to trust someone else with your pets which is why I will do whatever it takes to ensure you and your pet have a stress-free experience from start to finish. Dogs are a joy and I treat all of them as if they were my own. I offer drop-ins, dog walks, and house-sittings. I am willing to support all pet behavior types and breeds. A meet and greets are preferred with every dog that I attend to ensure they're a proper fit - in addition to what I observe, it is your responsibility to be as up front as possible when it comes to how your dog has behaved in the past, such as if they've been in a dog fight, if they've been attacked by another dog, do they resource guard, do they have separation anxiety/fear of certain situations, etc. Full availability! If I am not tending to another pet, then I am out exploring with my own dogs, or tending to the flowers. I simply request 1 days notice so that I can coordinate all dog visits properly. Dedicated and tailored pet care is what I bring to your loved one(s). With a long track record of dog service and various behavior types enables me to provide the personalized expereince that they deserve! My two dogs will only interact if you would like that!
