About: Iv'e been a pet owner all my life from raising puppies, caring for seniors, cats, bunnies and even having 4 tanks of fish at once. Times have changed and pets have become such a big part of our families and their health and happiness is our responsibility. I am involved currently with a rescue in Mississippi and help with adoptions and transports. Iv'e met many animals and their individual personalities.

Each pet has different personalities, medical, and dietary needs . With great communication I make sure all needs are met to insure a safe and happy experience for your fur baby or furless will be in good hands while your away.
“Charlotte was timely and attentive. She asked great questions to ensure Rosco got the best care, and it’s clear from the photos that he was happy on their walks! I’ll definitely book with her again.”
About: I had 9 wonderful years as a Dog Mom, and currently work at a doggy daycare, where I get to spend my days grooming and giving lots of love to lots of pups! My home is located right next to a beach, as well as many walking paths and great places to take your pup on an adventure! If your pooch is a lounge lizard and prefers to sit on the couch and watch reruns of Friends, I’m your gal! I also have experience administering medications to dogs that require it. If your dog is a singer, I’ll be sure to be singing right along with them!! I’ve got lots more room in my heart for your pup, so please consider me when looking for the right person to care for your furry family member!
About: I am attentive, patient, kind, and empathetic toward all animals. I’ve spent my whole life around pets, grew up with four huskies, and have always wanted more pets in my life. I currently have two cats, a senior named Gatsby and a kitten named Pippin. I look forward to meeting and caring for your pets! I work from home full time and set my own schedule, so I can be flexible with timing of walks and drop in home visits. I have a car and easy access to all forms of transportation. I can visit your home and stick to your and your pets’ routines, or pop by in the middle of the day for walks and trips to the dog park.
“Paige is amazing. Super reliable. She’s been walking my 1y/o Samoyed daily for the past month. She arrives, gets my dog, walks him and gets him back safe and locks up the house. So happy I found her.”
About: My entire life I have grown up with pets, dogs cats bunnies guinea pigs lizards birds, you name it we had it! Good pet care to me includes knowing their needs way ahead of time . In my time around animals, I have yet to meet one that doesn’t like me, whether it’s a energetic puppy or a lazy house cat. I’m extremely responsible and trustworthy, in addition to being creative at a moments notice. Taking care of animals means you must be ready for whatever may happen, and patience is a key. These are all qualities I possess! To me, being a people person means you also are a pet person. You and your beloved pets will be happy, healthy and safe with me! I’m currently working part time as a yoga teacher, so I have lots of time to take care of your pet kiddos! Whether it’s a walk around the park, some quality play time at home, or meal support, I am open to it all. Meeting a new animal is all about establishing safety and trust with them first, to show them I am a safe human that’s here to love and care for them too. Once they feel safe, we can get to the fun stuff of play time and walks!
About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life and have always had cats, including experience with a disabled cat who needed extra patience and care. I’m comfortable with feeding, administering medication, and creating a calm, safe environment for pets. I have also provided dog walking, feeding, and playtime for dogs of all sizes for family and friends. Pet parents can trust that I will treat their pets as if they were my own—keeping them safe, happy, and well cared for at all times. I work full-time in a hybrid role, which means I’m home most weekdays and can keep a close eye on your pets throughout the day. I’m available for boarding on weekends and for walks, drop-ins, and other services on weekdays after work hours. My flexible schedule allows me to provide plenty of attention, exercise, and care so your pets are never left alone for long. I live in a spacious, pet-friendly apartment with my friendly cat, so visiting pets will feel right at home. I always introduce dogs to my cat slowly and safely to make sure everyone is comfortable. I keep my home clean and secure, and I follow your pet’s routine closely to keep them happy and stress-free. With several parks and a beach nearby, I can give dogs plenty of fresh air and exercise. You can trust that I’ll treat your pets like family and keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away.
“It’s hard to believe that my pup has been walking regularly with Rowan for almost 2 years, but it’s safe to say that we all love Rowan. They are reliable, a great communicator, and easy to work with. Most importantly, they are great with the pup. It’s heartening to see how happy and comfortable my sometimes slow-to-warm-up dog is with Rowan. It was clear from the beginning that Rowan has a strong ability to build rapport with pups, both in making a connection and providing clear expectations, and that has become even more evident over time. So happy to have Rowan as part of our team. ❤️”
“Terri walked, fed, and snuggled with our dog Annie a few evenings while I was traveling for work. She was always prompt with communication, sent pictures and recaps of her visit, and mapped their walking route. We will definitely call her again when we need a sitter!”
“I think Matthew for the two quick walks this week. It was so helpful and you took care of Luna and I appreciate your feedback and I appreciate you walking her. I will definitely ask you again to walk her. Thank you so much.”
About: Trusted by many local families, I provide reliable pet sitting, dog walking, and cat care. Most of my clients come through word-of-mouth recommendations (references available upon request) , and I take pride in building lasting relationships with both pets and their owners. With having 12 pets of my own, I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, as well as feeding and checking in on cats while families are away. You can count on me to provide dependable care, regular updates, and lots of love and attention for your pets. I work some nights a restaurant and currently on a gap year! I will be traveling a little bit but will be available a lot. I have 3 dogs, 4 cats, 2 ferrets, a bunny, a bearded dragon, and some fish. I live in the basement am able to cut off my animals access down there if I were to watch your pet from my home which I’ve done before.
“Another great walk by Alena! I love getting notified when she arrives at our house for the walk. Loved seeing the photo updates. Looks like some happy pups! Thanks again Alena ❤️ Looking forward to the next walk!”
About: I love spending time with dogs and I like to think they feel the same about me! I've had dogs my entire life and am familiar with the care and attention they require. I travel for work so I can't have a pup of my own, but I regularly pet-sit for friends and family. Recently, I've enjoyed spending time with my brother's puppy and helping train her. I'm excited to give your pup some attention while their favorite human is away. Cats are cool too! I work from home full time, and am available for visits and walks in the afternoon. Seeing your dog will be the bright spot in my work day. I'm available most weekends. I know that letting a stranger into your home can feel a little weird! I'm happy to follow any directions about caring for your home as I care for your pet.
About: My regular job is working at a pet boarding facility (boarding at New England Veterinary Clinic!) as a pet care attendant, where I do all the same work as any pet sitter, just at my place of work. I feed dinner, give meds, take out and play with, both cats and dogs. I work part time and I am a student, but as classes end for the semester, I am open except for my 4/week 4 hr shifts at work. I have to be back at my house at night to take care of my own cat, but am available first thing in the morning and last thing at night as well as throughout the day. I care deeply about all pets and whatever quirks make them themselves. I know there may be a random thing that makes no sense, but brings them comfort, or even just you. I also care about people, and I know how important it is to feel that your pet is well cared for, and relive the anxiety of going on a trip. Not to mention, as I already take care of pets for work, I am very familiar with bonding with both pets and pet owners.
About: I have over a decade of experience with high energy dogs. I have trained puppies. I provide indoor and outdoor playtime. I also administer medications. I am available weekday mornings and afternoons, and can work within the hours your dog needs their favorite walk or a check in at home. I enjoy walking dogs along trails, letting them play at dog parks, and engaging them with playtime to fill their day with fun outside .
“Jesse took the time for a meet and greet before booking our first walk, which was extremely helpful! He has been very prompt and reliable, and we so appreciate his care for our girl Sylvie.”
About: I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t taking care of animals. Ive always loved dogs and more recently I’ve adopted two cats. I even thought about becoming a veterinarian professionally at one point. I am familiar with all the tasks necessary to take care of animals from taking them on walks to administering medication. I've also received training in first aid and CPR! Right now my schedule is very flexible. I can work any day of the week at pretty much anytime. I prefer shorter term engagements like dog walking but I’m also available for pet sitting over longer periods of time. I live in rural Hillsborough and often walk my own dogs through the woods around my house. It is the perfect environment for animals that like to hike. My own dogs are friendly and energetic. However they are easily separated should they not get along. My house is large enough to give every animal the space they need.

Johnny was fantastic. It was the first time I'd used a sitter and I was really nervous to leave my pup in someone else's hands. Johnny did great with him, kept me informed about how he was doing, regularly sent pictures and was extremely responsive. Mando loved him and they got along great. I highly recommend him, and will defintely ask him to take care of my pup next time I travel.
Julia was amazing! She walked my dog Macy and provided me with detailed notes of how the walk went! She listened to her needs and cut the walk a little short when my older dog was being affected by the heat. Will definitely be using her again! And her knowledge of veterinary medicine made me feel more comfortable leaving my dog in her care.
This was our first time having our dog walked by someone. Isabella was gentle, kind, and made us feel very comfortable. Our girl Ylva felt comfortable right away and was SO happy when she came back from her walk. We are so grateful for a positive first experience and will definitely book with Isabella again.
