Dog Sitting in Reading

“Tom was awesome! He left detailed reviews, took great pictures, and had ample awesome adventures with the fur babies! We will definitely plan to book him again and the fur babies loved him!”

About: As a devoted dachshund mom, I understand how much our pets mean to us- my dog Max is my best friend, and is my world! I know firsthand how important it is to have a reliable, personalized, and caring sitter who treats your pet like family. Whether your pup needs extra attention, playtime, or snuggles, I’m here to provide the same level of care I’d want for my own dog. When I’m not working as a wetland scientist, I love spending time with animals, and I’d love to help care for your dog or cat while I’m away. I’m comfortable with all sizes and types of dogs, and cats as well. I know that separation can be hard (for pets and their humans!), so I’ll make sure you stay updated with plenty of photos and check-ins. You can relax knowing your pet is in good hands 😊 I have limited commitments during the weekends other than taking care of my dog. I have a car and flexibility to take care of your pets like they are my own. I work full time as an environmental scientist and am primarily available on Fridays through Sundays. I am also available for holidays. I am a homeowner myself so will treat your space with care. I am detail-oriented and will plan to connect with you to gather any details on your pet's care and needs prior to pet sitting for you!

About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life! My best memories are bringing them to lakes growing up and playing in the water with them! I’m currently working full-time but I want to help take care of your pets on the side! After 6pm on weekdays work, along with any time on the weekend with a notice! Smoke-free apartment unit and a lot of walking trails around! I can accommodate to anyone’s living environment! I love going to parks with my dog.

“Charlene took wonderful care of our cat. She was professional, trustworthy and kind. Because of her we felt so confident going on vacation knowing that our kitty was so well cared for.”

About: I am extremely active and love to be on the go. When I am taking care of your pet you can be confident that I will give them all the love and attention they need. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds and ages. I will be working part time one day a week while I am doing student teaching so I have plenty of availability to walk your dog whenever you need., weekdays and weekend availability. I stick to your dog’s feeding, walking, and play schedule to help them feel secure. Whether it’s belly rubs, playtime, walking, or just quiet company, I give them the attention they’re used to.

“We can’t say enough good things about Yuzhou! She has been absolutely amazing with our dogs—so caring, patient, and attentive. Our pups are always sooo excited to see her and come home happy and well-exercised after every walk. We also love the detailed updates she sends after each visit—it gives us such peace of mind knowing the boys are so well cared for. Yuzhou truly treats our pups like family, and we feel so lucky to have her!”

About: I’ve taken care of my own, family members, and neighbors dogs since I was 9 (12 years). I am a huge animal lover: dogs, cats, bunnies, lizards, you name it. I’ve had dogs stay over at my house, watched them in their own homes, taken them on walks, and basically anything else you can name in the world of pet care! I’m a college student home for the summer so I have plenty of time on my hands and am eager to play/care for your pups! My job doesn’t start up until the middle of July so I am at your disposal for anything you need! I have a fenced in yard along with two King Charles Cavalier Spaniels, Tuffy and Bauer, who are great with other dogs and would love some company

“Highly recommend Cameron! We had my mom’s dog temporarily for a few months and needed some weekday and weekend dog walking services. Cameron came by to meet my mom’s dog before her first official visit with him, which got everything off to a great start. She’s very responsible, timely, communicates very well and shows so much love to pups. She even brought in some packages and stayed extra some visits to keep the dog company when we were out of town over the weekend. She is excellent!”

About: I have had multiple dogs and cats throughout my lifetime! I am a responsible, kind, friendly caregiver who would give your pet all the love and attention they need. I am a school teacher who is off for summer vacation! I am available for regular or one-time visits whenever is convenient for you and your pet. Not only will I care for your pet, but I will also care for your home and respect and follow all the directions you supply.

About: I've grown up on a ranch taking care of all sorts of animals including many dogs and cats! Now I have only one special puppy that I'm training to perform service work and a sassy elderly cat. I use positive reinforcement training to make sure any pups I interact with learn polite behaviors and are rewarded with plenty of love and scritches! I'd love to introduce Cleo to your dog for play time and enrichment so that they will be nice and tired for you when you get home :) I'm currently taking a hiatus from working to pursue hobbies, including training and competing with my dog. I have a very flexible schedule and am willing to work around any changes that might come up. I live in an apartment with a dog park. I have a rambunctious yet docile Bernese Mountain Dog that is a year and a half old that your dog can hang out with while they are here. I also have a crate if needed.

“Erica was great at taking care of our cat! Friendly and responsive.”

About: I grew up with dogs and have been their caretaker/always looking out for their happiness and health! I’ve also administered medications both oral and subcutaneous, helped with physical therapy, puppy training and senior care. I currently work part time and I care for pets at home including my dogs in a neighboring state! I’m great at time management and making sure everyone receives the attention they deserve! I am also very adaptable and in my own home I care for 2 kittens and 1 senior cat as well as 3 enclosed reptiles! I am well experienced in pet clean up and most pet care needed; I also always look out for the safety of my pets and am very aware of their behavior to ensure their well-being!

“I needed a last minute visit for my Zoey. Molly got back to me right away. Since it was the next day we had a FaceTime meeting. Molly kept in touch the whole day with comments and I tired. I would definitely hire Molly for my next dog needs.”

Adrienne M.

“10 stars if possible. Jamie jumped in to help when I had a last minute emergency. She was great with my animals and communicating. I stopped worrying after Jamie’s first visit and report as it was clear that the animals were in capable and loving hands. Will ask (beg) her to look after my pets in a heartbeat”

About: I assisted in training Golden Retriever puppies for over a year, I worked at a Doggie Daycare for 2 years, I have a 2 year old Golden Retriever of my own, and have worked with senior dogs! I’m currently trying to make pet care my full-time job. With that being said, I will be available practically all the time. I spend most of my day with my dog, and I already board/walk/do in-home visits for the old daycare I worked for. I have a fenced-in yard, that wraps around my house. It’s a pretty big yard. My basement is fully stripped, so hanging inside if it’s raining is no big deal! I have air conditioning to keep the pups cool, as well as a kiddy pool that the dogs can swim in!

About: As someone who has had pets all my life as well as currently owning the sweetest German Shepherd, I understand that all pets are different. Having this understanding allows me to use patience when meeting a new pet and let them adjust to me in the most comfortable way for them. Also, by owning a Shepherd, I am very aware that different dogs have different demeanors and attitudes and should be treated as such in a benevolent and non-aggressive manner. I work from home full-time which gives the opportunity to enjoy the company of my pets and your pets more often. I typically have a few walks a week with some boarding sprinkled in throughout each month. We live in a apartment complex that’s is large enough to take any dog on a long walk. The complex also has a dog park that we frequent quite often.

“I chose melinda to check in on my cat due to his separation anxiety. She did amazing! My cat loved her and she was very responsive to any of my messages. I will definitely be booking her again in the future!! Thank you Melinda!!!”

“Deanna is awesome! She sends lots of pictures and is very communicative. Our pup wasn’t too familiar with her but she put him at ease and he was looking to get lots of pets in no time.”

About: I have had pets my entire life, and eventually chose to make a career out of it. I worked as a veterinary technician in both small private clinics, as well as large emergency/critical care and specialty hospitals. I specialized in Dermatology at Angell in Boston, (so if your pet has icky skin or stinky ears, I won't be scared off!) and then I worked at a small general medicine clinic in Upstate NY for a couple of years. Upon returning to the Boston area, I worked at MVRH in Woburn in the ER/Critical Care department. Life circumstances have taken me away from the field, so I have been getting my fill of pet care by doing home pet sitting services. I take care of my clients pets as if they are my own. My calm demeanor has always been an attribute when it comes to caring for timid or anxious pets, and I generally can earn their trust quickly. I was certified in Feline Friendly Fear Free handling, which has come in very handy when having to clip nails or medicate a fragile or difficult kitty. I am very comfortable administering medications, including giving subcutaneous fluids in the home. I have some basic dog training experience, so I try to utilize those skills when handling all personality types of dogs. I have volunteered at a couple of shelters walking dogs, and that entailed being able to confidently engage with and handle dogs of all breeds and sizes with a huge array of temperaments. I am incredibly patient, and I always try to meet a dog where he/she is at. Our companion animals are crucial to living a more happy and healthy life, and for many of us, our cats/dogs are the only children we have, so I feel that it is important to find a sitter that understands that and will provide the best care possible. Maybe I can be that person for you. I do not have a 9-5 job, so my schedule is extremely flexible. I have listed my availability to be Monday through Friday, but will consider weekend visits if needed. Very early mornings are usually not feasible, so I generally make myself available after 9 AM. I do not offer pet care in my own home. We have a young dog and two cats, so the house is already quite full! I am willing to go to your home for daily visits. At this time I am unable to do overnights.
