“Kimberly was fantastic, jumping right in to help take care of the cats when I had to rush off to the hospital with a heart attack! she even came to the hospital to get a house key”
“Brianna is awesome! Our cat definitely remembers and loves her! He I always so happy when she arrives! She sends the best pics, visit summaries and just makes sure we feel like he is being loved while we are away.”
“Michelle was awesome. She sent great photos and videos, which is always nice when you’re away wondering how your cats are doing. She even let me know how they were acting and behaving when she was there. I would definitely hire her again!”

About: I’ve spent decades working hands-on with animals. I grew up immersed in animal care. My grandparents were dog breeders, and I began working on a farm at age seven, including daily care and riding horses. I also worked in my mother’s dog grooming salon as a brusher/bather and grooming assistant, gaining strong experience in safe handling, restraint and behavior assessment. I served as an Animal Control Officer and Animal Inspector for three years and am currently the volunteer director of a 501(c)(3) animal rescue. My experience includes cruelty, neglect, hoarding, and seizure cases, emergency stabilization, and rehabilitation of animals arriving in poor physical or behavioral condition. Dogs are a major focus of my work. I have extensive experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, energy levels, and behavioral backgrounds, including fearful, reactive, senior, and special-needs dogs. I also have experience with basic training and structured handling. Through my rescue, I have coordinated and personally transported large groups of animals, often 30 to 40 dogs and cats at a time, over distances exceeding 1,500 miles to bring them safely to New England for adoption. I am a 2018 graduate of the Animal Control Officers Association of MA and hold certifications in pet psychology, training, and animal communication. I am also a wildlife rehabilitator specializing in baby opossums and volunteer regularly at a local animal shelter. I have five dogs, a cat, a horse and frequently foster dogs. I am experienced administering oral and injectable medications, recognizing early signs of illness or distress, and I am Feline and Canine CPR certified. Animal care isn’t just my profession, it’s my everyday life, and I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I give my own. Caring for animals is part of my everyday life. My schedule is intentionally built around pet care, which allows me to provide consistent attention, follow routines closely, and respond quickly if anything changes. Pets in my care are always my top priority. I provide calm, structured in-home care focused on safety, routine, and trust. I follow all instructions carefully, maintain consistent schedules, and prioritize secure environments. I respect each pet’s comfort level, never force interaction, and monitor behavior closely to ensure their well-being. Pets are treated and cared for as individuals.
“It was a pleasure to have Susan look after our cat, Mara, while we went on vacation. Upon meeting her, it was clear she really loves animals and wanted our pet to be calm and content while we were away. Susan's updates were prompt, detailed, and had lots of pictures. We came home to a very happy cat and would gladly book Susan again in the future!”
“Alexa was a sweetheart!! We had to be somewhere for the day, and we called last minute, and luckily she obliged. She dropped as promised. I cannot say enough about Alexa. She is so responsible and helpful. We will definitely hire her again. Joge/Norma”
“Liana was fantastic! She was responsive, prompt for our meet and greet, and kept in touch with messages and photos while taking care of our senior kitty. Will definitely use her again!”
“Jennifer was the perfect pet sitter! She took excellent care of my two cats and was even up for watering my garden. Her daily updates and pictures brightened my days while away!”
About: New to pet sitting/walking professionally but I’ve own cats and dogs for the last several years. I like to walk dogs in my free time and pop in visit when I can. I work 3/4 days a week. Usually 10-4pm. Other than that, I’m free to do walks or check ins. Highly responsible. Good for short or long walks I’ve had my dog run away from a pet sitter I left him with. Luckily we found him. I know how scary it is to leave your trust in someone. I will do my absolute best to care and watch your love ones.

I travel for work and Kristine is my go-to to watch my 10 year old rag doll cat who can be pretty high maintenance at times (kitty ibs). Kristine is quite literally the best and I know that whatever happens Kristine can handle it and keep me posted in a timely manner. You’d be a silly goober to not book with them!
Stephanie gives our boys the best care possible. I never have to worry about them while we’re away. They’re in the best hands. She’s adept at giving one of my boys his medicine twice a day. She plays with them and pets them and spends a good amount of time with them. She’s the best!
Maryann was wonderful. She arrived prepared, notebook in hand, and was incredibly organized. I could tell right away that she was thoughtful, responsible, and genuinely caring. She also fosters (and has “foster failed”) cats and dogs, so it’s clear how much she loves animals. Highly recommend.
Delaney did an amazing job with our cats. They can a little timid with new people but they quickly warmed up to her. We have one that requires different medication at different times and she handled the schedule easily.. She even played with them for a bit and of course sent pics. The boxes were taken care of and asked questions if needed. We really appreciate all the time and care she showed them. We hope to work with her again. Thank you!
