About: I have fostered dogs of all ages and health issues, have owned various breeds, have managed a boarding and daycare facility. Growing up and living with animals and my volunteer experience has taught me how to handle dogs of all backgrounds. I love all creatures and give them the love and respect they deserve. I work full time during the week but can take care of your furkid during the day and evening if you are in the Leominster, Fitchburg area. I am available on weekends and flexible with time and location. I love to hike and be outdoors so walks, runs, hikes, I'm all in for it. I am experienced and familiar with crate training if you need help and can accommodate as needed. Whatever is needed to create a safe, calm, quiet place for everyone is what I always want for my furkids.

Katherine did a wonderful job taking care of Joe. I came home to a very well groomed, happy, and healthy kitty. Katherine also did a wonderful job communicating, keeping things clean, and very clearly adores animals. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again or recommend her to others.

About: I’ve owned pets since my daughter was young and brought her first kitten home. I’ve been helping her to walk dogs for a couple years now. I’m retired so my schedule is fairly open. It gets me walking and outside, two things I enjoy. It helps my health and makes me feel good. Happy to walk your dog! Cannot have pets stay at my house as I have a kitty cat of my own. His name is Toby and he’s a real pain in the butt! 😂

About: I’ve always loved animals and felt a special connection between them. I believe that every animal deserves the world and all the love! I have a dog of my own, who is my baby! Any time there is an animal I want to make friends and be where they are:) I am currently working full time, but have a lot more availability on Thursdays and Sundays. I am around Saturdays after 3. Depending on the pets needs, I can stay over and go to work from your home. I would love to play with your dog, take them for walks and adventures. I can feed them breakfast and dinner, and include treats. Definitely give them plenty of love as well!

Ann Marie was and is totally awesome (I’m contracting her on an ongoing basis). She has a genuine affection for pets, and she hit it off instantly with my 9-year-old Greyhound/Retriever. I give her my highest recommendation.

About: Hello, my name is Melanie! I recently quit my job to focus on school and am looking to get back into pet care! I've grown up with a bunch of pets from dogs, and cats to more exotic animals like reptiles, ferrets, and birds. I've also worked at a pet store for 5 years, as well as my fair share of family and friends pet sitter. I currently go to school full time, and spend the rest of the time studying with my pets! In our house we have a schedule and take turns when it comes to feedings, bathroom needs, and everything in between! Personally, I own one dog myself, Kira and she likes to spend all of her time outdoors, and is a snuggle bug. Kira also eats a very specific diet as she has allergies and takes supplements. I live in a house everyone is extremely welcoming to all pets and offers a vast fenced space for playing, although I prefer to not host, pets myself. I also have training experience and focus on positive reinforcement and leash training! I'm currently in school, so I'll have plenty of time to care for your pups. I'm available weekdays. Weekends are usually open. Mondays- Anytime Tuesdays- Before 10am and After 5pm Wednesdays- Before 1:30pm and After 5pm Thursdays- before 10am and After 2pm Fridays- Before 10am and After 5pm (This will change middle of May 2026) I'm very good at following instructions and asking for clarification if needed. I always use single ingredient treats that are usually allergy friendly (lamb liver). I pride myself on being safe and respectful to everyone!

Emily was wonderful! She came over for a meet and greet before taking care of our three cats. I appreciated her taking the time to do that. She was extremely thorough and very communicative which I also appreciate it. She took great care of the cats and my house! She really went above and beyond. I appreciate her and definitely recommend hiring her.

About: My regular work schedule changes every week! So although it might show that I have a day blocked off, please message me anyways to see if I am available for a day you need help! :) I have had multiple cats and multiple dogs my entire life. I have also volunteered for animal transportation services! I have been counted on to bathe, feed, walk, and love all animals I have had in my care! I am currently working part-time a 3-4 days a week, and my schedule changes every week. I am very flexible on time though, and I take days off for house-sitting as well! Even if my calendar says a day might be blocked off, please message me anyways if you are looking for help on one of those days as my work schedule could have changed! I take my 2 dogs out every 3-4 hours as well as refill their water bowls throughout the day and feed them twice according to their diets. My cats are let out once or twice a day with supervision and are fed twice a day as well as their water bowl being refilled throughout as well. And of course they all get constant attention throughout the day. Your babies will be treated as if they were my own!

About: I've taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I've always been a very empathetic person and just love to wave and say hi to dogs going by. I've had dogs of all sizes. My most recent is experience with Chihuahuas. I just love them! I've raised 2 dogs from 8 weeks old. I love all stages of a dogs life, from puppy to senior. I also have experience with senior dogs who need special care and medication. I'm currently working for myself, so I have plenty of time to spend playing, caring, loving and walking with your pets. I'm available M-F 9-6 pm. I like to make sure the pet is comfortable. I want the pet to feel at home with me. The least amount of change from the pets daily activities are important for the pet to feel safe and happy.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 5 years old when I got my first puppy! I have raised puppies, provided senior care, and helped train dogs with behavioral issues. I've taken care of all kinds of breeds ranging from small to large dogs. I spend a lot of time outside and believe our pups should always join when possible, I focus on teaching off leash skills so that dogs can get the most of their time outside with me. I'm currently working remotely and have flexibility in my schedule. I have time for regular bathroom breaks and exercise. I'm a bit of a homebody and make sure the pets get the attention they deserve! I have a large yard with a friendly dog to keep your fur friend company. I do have a couple crates of varying sizes to ensure your pet has their own space if they need it.
