“We are so happy we found Abigail! She is communicative and extremely flexible- with scheduling and with our very different dogs. She is patient and responsive with our sick dog and also can manage our more wild dog, both with a calm gentleness. She clearly has a strong understanding of dogs as well as a deep love for them.”

Sarah O.

“Daniel was really sweet with our high energy lab. He took Ziggy off our hands amidst the chaos of moving day and brought him home happy and tired, which made such a difference for us! We are happy to be moved into the area now and will definitely use Daniel again.”

Amanda G.

“Iví follows directions perfectly, communicates clearly, and is incredibly gentle and patient with our dog. It’s obvious they truly love and care about animals, and we feel confident and secure knowing our girlie is in such capable, kind hands!”

About: Allow me to love, feed, walk and play with your pet! I understand that your pet is your baby, and it can be difficult to leave your pet with an unfamiliar person. Please leave your worries behind in knowing your pet is in good hands. I grew up in a home with cats and dogs. My mother was a Lhasa Apsos breeder and an avid cat lover! We always had animals in our home and we were taught to care and respect them. One of my mother's favorite saying.....There is nothing like a warm cat and a good book. I'm currently retired so I have plenty of time to play with your fur babies! I'm willing to work around your schedule. Just let me know! I have a fenced in yard and a Shitzu named Teddy who is very friendly with all breeds. I will keep your pet stimulated throughout the day! A tired puppy is a happy puppy! 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾

“Nicole has been super helpful, communication is great and I highly recommend her services.”

About: I have experience in veterinary clinics as an assistant, technician, and at the front desk for a combined 3+ years. I have done petsitting for 16 years. I am well-versed in animal body language and I have experience handling pets of many temperaments, including anxious, reactive, senior, and medically complex animals. I’m comfortable administering medications, monitoring for signs of illness or stress, and helping pets feel safe. My background in veterinary medicine has taught me the importance of patience, reliability, and attentive care, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. My schedule is very pet-care friendly, and I’m used to building my daily routine around animals’ needs. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, enrichment, and monitoring animal behavior and health. I’m reliable, communicative, and make sure pets receive consistent attention and care throughout the time we spend together. I always try to keep pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, exercised, given fresh water, and provided with plenty of attention, play, and affection. I also monitor their behavior closely for any signs of stress or illness and keep owners updated with photos and messages. With my veterinary background, I’m comfortable handling medications, senior pets, anxious animals, and pets with special needs. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and creating a calm environment where pets feel secure and cared for.

About: Hello! Thank you for considering me as a new best friend for your fur baby! I will provide excellent care with my experience and understanding of animal behavior. I have been pet sitting since I was 12 years old. I worked for a dog walking and pet sitting company for 7 years and I also worked for 2 dog daycares and a mobile vaccine clinic for dogs and cats. I also have a degree in animal science. I am available in the evenings for dog walking or cats that only need one visit a day or any pet sitting in the evening if your morning person is unavailable for an evening visit and throughout the whole day on my days off. I work in the mornings as a baker and am home by 2:30 everyday. I am available for evening visits and all day on my days off. I currently am working as a baker at big y 5 days a week but I miss working with animals and want to be able to enjoy both the security of my current job and to do pet care which I also love! I am renting so can only offer services at your home but have an incredibly dog friendly dog of my own if a play date is something you would be interested in. I will respect any instructions you have about entering your home and will keep it safe and secure. I am adaptable and can do whatever you prefer that makes your pets day the best day ever! This can be playtime inside or outside or walks.

About: With 25+ years of pet care experience, including 15 years as a vet tech, I treat each animal as I would my own. I enjoy getting to know clients and their companion animals. I feel it is important for pets to have someone familiar taking care of them while their people are away. For this reason, I will usually ask to set up a meet and greet prior to the first booking. In addition to dogs and cats, I have experience with small mammals (e.g. gerbils, guinea pigs, rabbits), exotics (e.g. lizards, turtles, birds), and farm animals (e.g. chickens, horses, cows, sheep, goats). Whether exercising exuberant young animals, entertaining indoor cats, or just keeping them company so they don't miss you [as much], I'm there to be another one of their people! I look forward to meeting your animal companion(s) and learning more about their routine and requirements to keep them happy & healthy while you are away. You can expect to receive updates including photos while they are in my care. Drop-in visits and house sitting generally available 7 days (between 8AM-8PM) and 7 nights/week. I offer dog walking but not are occurring service on week end days, though available some weekends. My own yard is unfenced; I offer leashed walks and potty breaks in yard and/or on nearby trails. Due to respect for my 3 cats, I do not offer doggy day care or sitting in my home across the board. I have made exceptions for cat-friendly and low-key critters in the past. Find it generally works best to care for pets in the comfort of their own home, where I keep their regular routine going to the best of my ability.

About: I love spending time with animals! I’ve always loved them. I grew up with multiple golden retrievers (as you can see in my photos LOL). Lastly: I love to help animal owners feel safe when they are entrusting me with their pet 😀. I am free all day. Please book what times you need and I should be able to accommodate them! So 7am-7pm is best times for me I will treat your pets just as I treat mine - with lots of love! I understand the anxiety of trusting others to care for your animals but I can assure you I will treat them exactly as you ask

“Piper and Sky loved meeting Meaghan and they had a great walk.”

Mary C.

“Sky responded so quickly to a request I sent for a last minute visit request as I had an emergency and couldn’t get to see my dogs on time. She was amazing despite my dogs being super excited and crazy. Sky thank you! You went above and beyond and you were truly a blessing today. Thanks!”

“Maggie's walked my pit bull Edna several times. She's easy to communicate with and Edna's well cared for. I would definitely recommend her!”

About: I’ve had pets since I was about 4 years old, and am experienced with caring for cats and dogs. Any needs they have, I will take care of them all - from simple company when you're at work, to walks, giving meds and overnight stays! I have experience training puppies too, from potty training to the classic "stay", "sit", "come", "leave" etc. commands. I have a large dog myself so size of your pet is no issue. Anything you're unsure about, shoot me a message! I work full time at a school but am free weekdays after 2pm until around 10pm. On weekends I am free from Friday afternoon until Monday morning so I can do overnight stays too if needed. Depending on the care required, I will feed pets, give them meds, take them outside, play games/fetch/etc., brush them, empty litter boxes and so on. I have had several cats and dogs of my own and cared for many more, so I am comfortable with adjusting to their different personality types.

About: I am a speech-language pathologist in Greenfield, MA and love working with animals on the side when possible. I started dogsitting down in Rhode Island in 2014 while I was in graduate school. I've also grown up with dogs in my life (a black lab/german shepard mix and a yellow lab). I have some experience with puppy training and enjoy going on walks with and exercising dogs. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover since I can remember. I've grown up having a dog. My first dog was a black lab/German Shepard mix named Pretina. I would play with her, take her on walks, go hiking with her, and many more activities. My second family dog, Piper, was a yellow lab who I had since she was a puppy. I helped in her puppy training and have enjoyed all the previously mentioned activities with her as well. Many of my friends and extended family have also had dogs which I've enjoyed playing with and caring for. During my undergrad career, I petsat for my professor's yellow lab and thoroughly enjoyed caring for him when I was so far from my own dog. My experience administering medication I am comfortable administering medication, though I would like to be shown how to administer it and practice with the owner before sitting for the dog. I have some experience administering insulin shots to a cat. I work in schools, so I am generally available before 8am and after 3pm on weekdays during the school year. During school breaks and summer, I have more availability. I care for your dogs following client preferences. I will let dogs out into a fenced in back yard, crate when left alone at home, keep on leash for walks, etc. as indicated by owners. In general, I would default to keeping dogs on leash during walks and not letting them out on their own unless the yard is fenced in.

About: My first job as a kid was taking care of the neighborhood pets. I’ve always had a close bond with animals and have experience with rescue dogs, special needs pets, and senior dogs. I have an extra special place in my heart for pitties and you can know that your bully breed will be safe and respected when in my care. I’m currently working a flexible part-time schedule so I have plenty of availability. I am available for regular weekly walks and play sessions, and with the summer months coming up I am also available for vacation or temporary sitting opportunities. I enjoy physical activity, being outdoors, and hope to spend time hiking and playing outside with your dogs. I can lift 120lbs and hold a current wilderness first aid certification and can confidently respond to any pet emergencies that may occur.

About: Need someone you can trust with your baby? That's me! Trustworthy, reliable, affectionate, probably too affectionate lol. Experience with big and small dogs, I am stern and loving and love to spoil with extra long walks and cuddles. I know it is hard leaving your loved one with a stranger so any questions or concerns are welcome. I am here to make your experience comfortable and worry free that is why i like to send picture updates of your little one having fun. Cant wait to make a new friend to keep me company while we go for walks, play fetch, eat meals together and snuggle and pet at the end of the day, or whatever your little guy likes! Thanks for your consideration :)
