“Kelly is awesome!! I could tell she really cares for her clients and I was so happy she was available. She checked in and spent time with my cat, even brushed him, and sent pictures so I know he was doing ok! I know he was in good hands while I was away! ❤️”
About: I grew up with dogs and cats and have been taking care of them since I was very young. Attended agility training classes and obedience trainings with the family dog. Family and friends have used me as a pet sitter for their dogs and cats with various needs I work from home Monday through Friday. Depending on the distance of your home to mine quick drop ins during the day may be possible. After 5pm my schedule opens up Formally living with a dog with severe anxiety taught me the skills for safe leash walking, crating and care. I currently live and care for a senior cat as well as guinea pigs
“Bonnie is so great with Sarsaparilla. She can sometimes be a feisty girl and it takes time for her warm up to people, but Bonnie is so patient and kind. And I always know she's taking such good care of my cat, because even if Sarsaparilla plays hard to get when Bonnie is here, she sits at the door waiting for her to come back!”
“Zach took great care of our animals while we were away for a week. He was extremely flexible when I accidentally booked the wrong dates initially and needed to change the booking last minute. He communicates well and took great care of our cats, chickens, and fish!”
“Lindsay was great! She showed up on time for all of the visits and gave our dog Tucker lots of attention and love. She detailed every visit and sent pictures. Will definitely hire again!”
“Eryn was incredibly kind and accommodating with my two spicy cats, stepping in on short notice and adjusting seamlessly when our return plans changed. She took wonderful care of them, and I highly recommend her to anyone needing a flexible, compassionate pet caregiver.”
“Katherine did a wonderful job taking care of Joe. I came home to a very well groomed, happy, and healthy kitty. Katherine also did a wonderful job communicating, keeping things clean, and very clearly adores animals. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again or recommend her to others.”
“Always our first pick to sit our cats. They love her and she very clearly cares about them too! Sharleen always provides such detailed updates and goes the extra mile to ensure they are comfortable and happy.”
“Blaise was great with our cat, Beefaroni. Blaise was always on time, stayed for the whole 30 minutes and gave us cute pictures and nice updates. We felt very secure leaving Beefy with Blaise and knew he was in good hands. So glad we got to work with him and that he took such good care of our special boy. We would happily book again.”
About: Having grown up around a diverse set of animals then adopting 2 dogs of my own in adulthood, I bring a thorough, well rounded background in pet care. I am single dad (kids live here part-time) who currently works a corporate 9-5 job full-time from my home office in Leominster, so I have a lot of flexibility during the work days during the week, and then my weekends are very open too around kids activities. I live in a pet-friendly apartment complex within a wooded area with land so this gives a good environment for comfortable interior space as well as walking pets outside.
“Colin went above and beyond for our kitties. Literally sent so many photos and videos. Made sure to repeat back all of the info and gave us great update! 100/10 we love Colin and so did the kitties!”
“Elizabeth was wonderful, kind, reliable, and very responsive. She was available on short notice, which was a huge help for us. She took great care of not only our cat, Nuggets, but also our 4 chickens! We felt completely at ease knowing our babies were in such good hands. We were so happy with her care that we have already hired her again for our next vacation. Highly recommend!”
“We decided at the last minute to go away for the weekend and had no dog sitter. Emily was available that day to meet our pups and then take care of them for the weekend! We received pictures and updates from every visit and came home to happy healthy pets. Thanks Emily!”
