Dog Sitting Russell

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old, I helped my grandma to take care of her dogs. I also often help my friends to take care of dogs and cats. And my family had a cat and a dog that I took care of. I’m available full time for taking care of pets, any day works weekday or weekend. I can come to take care in your home or take pets to mine I can take cats or small and medium dogs to my home or to come and walk with your dog and feed. Play with a cat and feed.

About: The family for my last petsit said this: "[Our dog] had nothing but wonderful things to say about you, she was very happy when we got home, that means she didn't feel upset at all. Yay!!! Thank you again!! " I've cared for households with multiple pets, including cats, dogs, multiple cats, multiple dogs, and a combination of the above. I've often had people reach back out to me to sit for them again. I love to follow your instructions as closely as possible to help out your animals with the stress of owner absence. I find it important to take time to play with and sit with animals. I'm familiar with giving pets medication, whether through pill pockets, food, or other methods. If your kitties are particular about litter cleaning, I am happy to provide that more frequently as well. I work with energy and empathy in my other jobs, so I am able to bring a calm presence for animals and pay attention to their energy when caring for them. I value consent-based interaction, so I allow animals to warm up to me before petting them. I have flexible work, so I can arrange to stay with your pets or drop in at your convenience. One of my jobs works well with being at home, so I can stay put. I tend to lock doors, being familiar with city living. Integrity and trust are paramount to me, so you can trust that I will treat your home well and honor any areas you don't want me to be in. I know it's a lot to trust a stranger in your home while you are away -- I am happy to provide references and other information to make you feel safe. You know your pet best, so I pay attention to how you make sure your pets stay inside to keep it that way. I am always happy to text updates and pictures :)

About: Hiya, I’m Paisley! I’m an avid animal lover, and have two four-legged little ladies of my own - Winnie (10), and Stella (4). I love meeting new pups of all different personalities. I’d be thrilled to meet yours and be their friend in need! I’m dedicated to making sure they’re treated as if they were my own. Thank you for considering me! I’m available Monday-Friday with flexible times, so I can work around what schedule is ideal for your best friend’s needs. Whether it’s a walk, a feeding, or play time - I’ve got you covered! I have two very charming little ladies at home. Your fur-baby will be taken care of as if they were my own. I have patience for all animals of any size, and have experience with nervous and anxious animals as well.

About: I’m a graduate student with a bachelors of science in Biology and a concentration in pre-vet, working towards a career in veterinary medicine with years of hands-on experience caring for animals. I’ve worked in a clinical hospital and an animal shelter with both cats and dogs, gaining experience with a wide range of temperaments, ages, and needs. I’ve also taken multiple animal-focused college courses that strengthen my understanding of proper care, behavior, and health. In addition, I’ve provided pet sitting and dog walking for friends, family, and neighbors for several years. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and make sure every animal feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I’m currently working part-time, but I have as much time as I can give for your fur baby! I coach softball so I’m away part of July but other than that my schedule is pretty open. I prioritize pet safety by following routines closely, maintaining clean spaces, and respecting your home. I ensure pets are supervised, secure, and comfortable at all times.

About: I grew up taking care of my dogs. The first thing I did when I woke up was feed and play fetch with my German Shepherd. I absolutely love exercise, especially with a dog by my side:) I’m currently working as a high school health teacher. I have afternoons and weekends off each week. I would love to have something to do in my free time:) I will not be taking dogs in my own home but I am a quick learner and could easily use materials in your home to take care of your animals.

About: I have been taking care of dogs since the beginning of high school. I have dogsat for family and friends, and friends of them as well. They have relied on me to feed, walk, and stay with their pets when they are away. I’m currently a full time teacher that works from 7 am - 2:30 pm Mon-Fri, but I can be available weekdays after 2:30 pm and on most weekends! I make sure to leave the place the way I entered it. I always clean up after myself and make sure to clean from the pet as well. I follow the rules and expectations of the house owner.

“Samantha is an excellent communicator and took great care of our cats, medication and all with minimal prep. Will definitely request her again!!”

“This was our first time using Rover.com and Adara worked out great for us and for our dog Ziva. Adara has very good communication and followed through with all arrangements. She was happy to do a meet & greet with us before we hired her. We were very relieved that she was so nice and Ziva liked her immediately. We had to go out of state for a funeral and we couldnt take Ziva. Adara took away the worry we would of had. This was a great first try with Adara and Rover.com. :)”

About: All my life I’ve had a variety of different animals all including dogs, cats, birds, turtles, rabbits, etc. You name it, I have owned it. In some time spans all at the same time. I would love to take all this experience that I was fortunate enough to obtain throughout the years and bring it to your home! I am currently enrolled at the Western New England University. At the time being as I am on summer break I am looking for something to do to take up all this newly acquired time. As well as make some extra money to go towards my tuitions. Since I have a love for animals I thought this was the perfect opportunity for me. At the moment I currently have 4 dogs, 3 cats, 2 rabbits and a cocktail. As you can imagine yes they can certainly be a handful but I couldnt imagine my life without them. Each and everyone being on a schedule of their own which is always never a problem.

About: I have always had at least 2+ dogs in my house since I was born. I currently have 2 of my own who make life so much better! I know it’s not always easy to work and have pets but I hope I can help some people no matter if it’s letting them out or walking them. I am currently a nurse but looking to also do house sitting, dog walking, drop ins, whatever is needed! I am available to help anytime after 4pm on weekdays and anytime on weekends! I am willing to go late as well! Some days I can also go before 7am I have two pets in my home one is a lab mix and one is a heeler mix. Both love all animals and people. They’re both three years old.

About: Not only did I grow up around dogs (one of my own and many neighbors’ dogs who I helped sit for), but I am also currently a proud dog mom to five medium-to-large dogs who are my entire life, some of whom I’ve raised from 8 weeks all the way through senior-hood. I have fostered over a dozen other dogs in addition to my own of all sizes, breeds, and ages. I have cared for dogs with both medical and behavioral issues as well. I work from home four days a week with minimal meetings and plenty of flexibility in my schedule. I don’t travel for my job. I do have commitments some evenings after 4pm. I have a fenced yard and very friendly dogs who would love to have a playmate! I also have two spare bedrooms to keep dogs separate if they need their own space or some quiet time. I have plenty of dog-safe brain teasers and puzzles to get their brains working as well. I do triathlons in my spare time and love to go for walks/runs with pups too!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for many years now, my aunt had very sweet german shepard that I would always walk, feed and play with. And now my family has our own dog that we love and care for very dearly! I currently work full-time, but I would be more than happy to take care of your furry friends on any of my days off or any afternoons I’m free!! My cat is indoors, but she always has food and water available, and lots of toys that’s she loves to play with! No fenced yard, but it is big and we have a very long leash that we use to play fetch with! And of course, lots of walks!

“Camryn was flexible, reliable and compassionate. She cared for my pups with so well. Highly recommend. Communicated thoroughly. She was much appreciated !”

About: As a child, I owned almost every pet imaginable - from house cats to Rottweilers to lizards to ferrets! Bless my poor mother's heart - we practically had a small zoo at our house! As an adult I owned a cat for 5 years and also "dog /cat sat" for friends and families many times. I'm an all-around animal lover who is comfortable with many different types of pet care. I'm a stay-at-home mom with a four year old. Please be advised that if I pet-sit overnight at your home, my daughter will most likely be accompanying me for at least part of the job assignment. If you aren’t comfortable having well-behaved, well-supervised children at your home, then unfortunately I’m not a good fit your you. I have plenty of flexibility on both weekdays and weekends to provide care for your pets. I live in a pet-friendly house with a fenced-in back yard. The neighborhood is quiet and safe for walks. I also have access to a nearby park.

About: Hello! I always helped care for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was able to help care for litters of puppies. Most who went to the state of MA for agencies to train to help find missing people. I also grew up with cats and many reptiles. Currently I have two cats and three tortoises. I have professional experience as well from working for a local veterinarian clinic. Currently I travel for home health/health care worker within the area. I am always a drive away from my apartment to give potty breaks and walks for my new furry friends. I also have experience with dog obedience as I have a friend who owns/runs a local business. I have many resources for all animals. Currently I travel to my clients. Most of them are 5 to 20 minutes away from my apartment. I am able to make my own hours to take your fur baby out and spend time with them. I will take your dog out on leash for potty breaks and walks. I am able to take your dog to areas that are safe to take your dog off leash to run energy such as dog parks if you approve. If I am coming to you, I would want to learn everything you do to make your pet comfortable. I have many years of experience with all sorts of pets and farm animals if that’s growing up with pets and learning. Or if it’s in the vet med field or on the farm. First off everyone if different and that’s important to know how to make your pet most comfortable while they are being cared for. Going by your schedule and routine is very important for your pet so they are happy and comfortable while their family is away. I am able to help in anyway you request.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I am loving and have compassion. Every time I meet a new dog they can sense the good energy from me. ( I can’t update my schedule timing but it’s Monday- Friday 5-10pm) and Saturday-Sunday ( 9am-10pm) I am currently working full-time. I can come by and take care of the dogs or cats for however long after 11am as well as do drops in. I can care for pets at my clients house by maintaining a boundary in where the dogs or cats are supposed to be. As well as set up a little place where they can be at so I can watch them and play.

About: I grew up with dogs. First, an eighty-pound lab with a five-hundred-pound personality. Then a water dog who swam with me all summer in Lake Michigan. And bulldogs, so many bulldogs. Now my wife and I live in Easthampton with a fifteen-pound walking Beanie Baby we adopted from Dakin. I could not live without dogs, and I wouldn’t want to. I would treat your dog like my own. I work part-time, which means your dog isn't competing with a packed schedule. Monday through Saturday, 8 am to 6:30 pm, I'm available for walks, drop-ins, or simply keeping your pup company. Six years of professional walking taught me a few things. 1) Standard leash only, four to six feet, never retractable. I bring my own, but am happy to use yours. 2) Never rush a dog through a sniff, because that fire hydrant at the end of the block is important information and your dog knows it. 3) Always clean up after them. 4) No AirPods, ever; I’d rather keep an ear out for oncoming traffic and any renegade squirrels. 5) Make walks fun. That means positive reinforcement, goofy voices, and treats for good sits and stays. Treats are on me.

About: I’m a reliable, patient, and pet-loving caregiver based in Western Massachusetts. With years of experience caring for cats and dogs of all sizes and personalities, I understand that every pet has unique needs- and I treat each one like family. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, medication, or just some extra snuggles, I’m here to provide compassionate and attentive care while you’re away or busy. I’m comfortable with seniors, high-energy breeds, and special instructions, and I always prioritize safety, communication, and keeping your pet happy and healthy. I’m also happy to bring in mail, water plants, or help with other small tasks while you’re away. Let’s set up a meet and greet! I’m currently pursuing my masters degree full time online. This gives me a flexible schedule to accommodate pet sitting or walking. My schedule is pretty open. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I treat every animal with kindness, patience, and the same level of care I’d give my own. I follow your instructions closely, maintain your pet’s routine, and make sure they are loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m respectful of your home, tidy, and trustworthy. I’ll always leave things as I found them. I’m also happy to take care of small tasks like bringing in mail, watering plants, or taking out the trash. Your pet’s well being and your peace of mind are my top priorities.

“I cannot recommend Wen enough. My husband and I were gone for a few days, and Wen came in twice a day to feed our 2 cats. He fed them and played with them and sent photos of them looking very content. He cleaned the litter box and he did some additional chores around the house. He even encountered an unexpected crisis and he was able to avert that without a problem. We missed them terribly, but we were comforted by the fact that Wen was taking such good care of them.”

“Alexis is amazing! She took wonderful care of my aging cat, including insulin shots. I was so at ease on my trip because of Alexis’ amazing communication and skill. My cat and I will call on her again and again!!”
