House Sitting in Pownal

“We asked Deborah to watch our dog in a situation where communication with us was very difficult. She did very well with this challenge. Our dog did well under her care.”

Former PETCO employee and rescue volunteer I am currently working part-time and unavailable 2pm to 7pm Monday- Friday. There is some flexibility, so please ask about your specific timing needs. Thanks I will follow your instructions as well as your pet's needs, mood, and personality. I do my best to let your fur baby be comfortable and themselves.

“Liz met us at our campsite right on time and she immediately got along with our Catahoula, Annie. They were quick friends. Liz did a great job keeping her safe and entertained while me and my family attended a concert, and Annie was safe and relaxed when we got back to our site. Liz did great and I'll recommend her to anyone who needs help watching their fur baby for a few hours.”

“Michelle did a great job caring for our pup and home while we were away! She provided the perfect amount of updates. She was a trooper making sure Vera got enough exercise during a very rainy week. We will definitely ask Michelle to help us out again!”

“Evelyn was fantastic with my senior dog, and pup that can be lazy and have spurts of energy. Additionally, she was great with our cats, giving very detailed updates throughout the trip. I really appreciated the level of care, the attention to details, and the extra mile she went to ensure a smooth trip for not only her but myself. Incredibly grateful to have found her!”

I respect your space and your rules about furniture, food, crating, and space. I'm totally flexible around your pets needs.

About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs most of life. I’ve raised puppies and owned and cared for special needs dogs. I’m happy to take your pets the to vet or groomer. I’m patient, attentive, and professional.

About: I am a responsible Pet Lover who puts the needs of pets first. I love to spend time with pets, dog walk, do basic grooming, and I am very attentive when a pet is in my care. I have 1 cat now, who prefers to stay at home. I have experience with all many types and breeds of dogs. I also have experience with pets of all ages, including pets with special needs, special diets, or medical issues. I do have a couple of per diem home care jobs. My hours are sporadic, but never regular. Usually day or early evening. They are never long shifts (5 hours or less). I have prior engagements for an hour each Sunday-Tuesday nights. I always make sure that the pet is fed and walked before leaving the house and as soon as I get back. Depending on the location, I might be available to take the dog/dogs out for a short walk during a shift. For drop ins, I am available for feeding twice a day and 3 walks a day. I am very attentive to the needs of a pet. I make sure that they are well taken care of. I limit cell use while walking your pups. I do not smoke, drink, or use recreational drugs. I have a lot of experience with reactive dogs. I always do my absolute best to assure the safety of your pups, other people, and other pets that we might come in contact with. I spend as much time with them as possible. I am able to do extra light cleaning in your home, as well as clean up after myself. You feline family will also be well taken care of, as I am learning more about our fickle feline friends everyday.

About: I have two golden doodles who mean the world to me, but aside from my own pets i have made sure to surround myself with animals my whole life so far (I'm 27 currently) i grew up helping out friends and neighboors with animal care. to me pets are not just pets they are family. I love being outdoors going for walks myself so I take a great deal of pride being able to help someone with the joy in their life and incorporating it into what I already love to do. I currently work full time monday-Thursday with friday, saturday,and sunday off. I will be available any of those three days off for any service someone is requesting, and I am open to commuting aswell. I have two golden doodles who I treat them same as my closest and dearest friends/family. It would be no different with anyone else. One of my biggest beliefs is that respect and kindness speaks for itself and goes a long way so im very geared towards the needs, wants, requirements ect... that a client has or is requesting.

About: I grew up always having a dog. I know how special they can be and the attention they deserve. I'm always happy to help pups get the best care possible. I have many free days to devote to pets. I am available on short notice and always happy to help out to make things easier on your animals. I have experience with dogs that roam the house as well as crate training. I also know how to handle an invisible fence versus a solid one as well as leads.

“Bella is highly recommended. With a last minute change in my plans, Bella was right there to help out. There was never a doubt that Mac & Cheez weren’t being loved as she sent frequent updates and photos of my babies. I’m so grateful and will definitely reach out to her again.”

Jerrie P.

“Jessie was absolutely amazing! She was quick to reply to us and made the whole process stress free! She was on time for our meet and greet and is the nicest! Our dogs absolutely loved her! She sent us some great photos of our dogs! We never had to worry, our dogs were in great hands! I highly recommend her for anyone who is looking for a great dog sitter!!”

About: I’ve interned at my local vet clinic for two years now and have recently moved to a paid position as an assistant! through this internship i have not only learned substantial knowledge regarding pet care, such as how to most effectively administer medications, but also discovered my love for pet sitting, as i have become one of the veterinarian’s permanent pet sitter! i also plan to go to vet school after i earn my bachelors degree! i am currently working various part time jobs, so i will need at least two weeks notice for a majority of the services i provide. i will try my best to arrange my schedule for your convenience! i’ll treat your furry family like my own! i come with treats ready (with permission of course) and never leave without a game of fetch or whatever else your babies might enjoy! they’ll definitely be the highlight of my day, so i’ll try to be there’s too!

About: I’ve taken care for more than a handful of animals before! I have worked for two farms in my life so far. I have also always grown up with having dogs, cats, and even hamsters and Guinea pigs! I am a mom of 2 little ones but just recently moved so I am in between jobs and can work with you on times! I am available most days and a good portion of the day, as the kids go to daycare! I am a very good listener and fast learner. I love following a guideline and care so much about your animals! I can’t wait to meet your pets!

About: I have always cared for, loved & owned dogs for as long as I can remember. I love to walk so why not combine two loves into one lovely hobby! I live close to the Ashuwillticook Trail and the Greylock Glen where we will have great fun. Can’t wait to meet your special pup & make him/her the happiest hound in town.

I own two dog friendly cats & I will look after your pet as if she/he were my own. I will do everything I can to make it the safest, most comfortable and memorable experience for your special pet.

About: ive had a couple of dog growing up in my childhood a sweet old black lab and a super crazy dingo.. in my free time after school and during summer i used to walk them, no amount of walking could satisfy my dingo.. id have her pull my bike to get all her energy out since we didnt have any closed in areas she could run off in.. ( i dont do this anymore! i realize its not very safe! she absolutely loved it for sure though) i love pups big and small old and energetic theyre all very unique and id love some new friends to get me out of the house. id ask you beforehand of course if youd be okay with them swimming, theres a pond i can bring them to after walking to cool off at. our backyard is fenced! i have two cats, so id like to know how your dog reacts around small creatures, if they cant be in contact i can always but them into a room while the dog is over. most likely theyd be outside! lots of shade and id keep em well hydrated and happy :3 i currently have been on a job hunt since what feels like forever, my schedule is very. very open.. since i dont have a car, drop off would be ideal, if your close enough to walk to i can do that too! weekends are the only time id be able to pick up your pooch my cats get their waters filled and cleaned almost daily, lots of love of course and are very spoiled. i dont have any dogs at the moment, so of course id love to chat about what youd expect and need for your lovely pup! im good with communication and friendly, special needs id be extra attentive to. im very good at remembering small things, though id still write em down incase!

About: For five years I have been pet sitting for coworkers, family, and friends. I have cared for small to large dogs, some lazy and many very high energy! I love being able to play with the pets to get their energy out and give them a good petting afterwards. Generally, I am available both ends of the day and most weekends. My full time job is flexible for the most part and can create my schedule to accommodate different gigs. I primarily have experience with overnight pet sitting at the client’s house. I am comfortable with both rural and more city environments. Privacy is important for me, so I will always respect the client’s privacy of their home. If uncomfortable with overnight stays, I will gladly travel to the client’s house in the morning and evenings to care for their pets.
