“Isabel took great care of our two dogs in our home over the weekend! She was comfortable administering their medications, and sent lots of great updates and pictures. We would definitely have her watch our boys again!”

“Kaitlyn was great with my girls and house! Everything was just the way I left it. 5 nights 6 days. She sent updates and pictures everyday. I have a reactive dog and a 14.5 year old diabetic cat. She loved/s them and kept them happy, safe, and comfortable while I was away. Thank you Kaitlyn!”

“Cheyana was absolutely amazing with my Harry! This was a short notice booking and I’m so grateful to have found her. Cheyana has such a calm and gentle energy that put Harry right at ease during our meet & greet, and I could tell she really cared about making sure he felt comfortable. I loved that Cheyana let Harry approach her at his own pace. She was very attentive and thoughtful, sending me photos and updates throughout the booking, which gave me so much peace of mind. It’s clear she is very experienced and really knows what she is doing, and I couldn’t have asked for better care. I would wholeheartedly recommend Cheyana to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and experienced sitter! I’ll definitely book again!!”

“Shawn did a wonderful job caring for my dogs while I was away visiting family. She is very friendly, clearly cares for animals and thorough in inquiring the needs of all 3 dogs. The dogs were very comfortable with Shawn and were well adjusted when I arrived home. I hope to have Shawn sit for my pets again.”

“Halle is top-notch! 10/10 recommend. We went away for 4-days and Halle made us feel completely comfortable leaving our two (sometimes pain in the butt) dogs with her. We feel lucky to have found someone so trustworthy and loving to our pups.”

“Melissa was exceptional with my senior German Shepard. She sent us lots of pics and updates which we loved. Our pet was loved and cared for like she was Melissa’s. Recommend Melissa’s services 10/10”

“Annie was awesome with our two pups - they're giant breeds and needs proper grooming. Annie not only did an exceptional job in terms of taking care of our pets but also kept our house clean. We'd love to have her again.”

“Aura is amazing!! I could tell she really knew what she was doing by her thoughtful questions. She even asked permission to take my dog on a walk in the wilderness which i could tell he absolutely loved from the pictures!”

“Sophie house sat for our almost 2 year old pup Leo for the weekend and she was wonderful! Sophie is especially communicative and provided such peace of mind while we were away from home. Even when challenged by Leo with a sleepless night, Sophie was understanding of the adjustment for Leo and maintained a great attitude. We would use Sophie again without hesitation and look forward to relying upon her services in the future!”

“Anna was great with our cat! She was attentive and very communicative which I really appreciated. She sent photos during her stay and kept me in the loop. We’ll definitely be reaching out to Anna again if we ever need another sitter.”

“Sophia was absolutely wonderful! She was in communication with us every day with photo updates on our animals and so kind and responsive. I would recommend Sophia to anyone and we are so grateful to have found someone locally that we feel comfortable staying in our home with our animals. Such a wonderful experience that put our minds at ease”

About: Hello! I'm Jess. I have been a very responsible pet mom for most of my life. I currently have three very loved, happy, and well-cared for cats who all have very different personalities. I also have experience taking care of my friends' cats...including senior, shy/timid, and rambunctious cats. I've been around many dogs of various sizes, breeds, and personalities for most of my life. I feel most comfortable with small and medium dogs. However, I am also comfortable caring for larger dogs who do well on a leash. I have recently completed these Pet Sitters International's courses: Dog Care Fundamentals for Pet Care Professionals, Pet First Aid & CPCR for Pet Care Professionals, and Professional Pet Sitting as a Career. I also have approximately 7 years of experience with guinea pigs. I really love animals! I can go to your home to care for, feed, provide companionship, and play with your cats/dogs/pocket pets, scoop litter, clean up messes (i.e., hairballs, accidents), walk your dog, etc. within 15 miles or so from Blackstone, MA. My schedule is quite flexible as I am currently out of work while I pursue a significant career path change. But I plan on working from home. I have a very safe, clean (well, except cat hair on the sofas!), tidy, and organized home. I have lots of cat toys, catnip, treats, etc. The litter boxes are all scooped at least once per day. I have bird feeders in my front yard to provide entertainment for the cats. My cats are all indoor cats. So I am very conscientious and vigilant regarding making sure that no one escapes.
About: I have always owned pets whenever possible, and volunteered at several shelters over the years. I have also pet sat many times for friends and family and have enjoyed it everytime. I currently work part time with a very flexible schedule. I want to do what works for you. Let me know the times you need and I will make it work! I want to maintain your pets routine as much as possible and be as least intrusive on your home as possible. Please tell me how I can do this most effectively.

“He was such a huge help, and my 2.5 month old puppy, Hazy, loved him! Rich did dog sitting for around 5 days at my apartment and he was really hands-on, flexible to work around our schedules, and attentive to our pup's need. Will definitely work with him again!”


About: I have been working with dogs for 15 years. I am Canine and Feline certified and have completed a course in reading canine body language. I know some basic vet tech knowledge and signs of stress and I am also trained in giving deworming medicine and administering shots to dogs and cats as I have previously cared for a cat with Diabeties. I also have experience working in a grooming salon as a Bather/Dryer so I have no problem giving a bath to anyone that needs one or a quick nail trim. My passion in life has always been animals and I have had more dogs and cats then I can count on both hands and now I am living my dream of working with dogs at a popular doggie daycare in Rhode Island. My mornings are spent with a group of at least 20-40 dogs playing in an off leash facility either playing ball, working on commands or just giving belly scratches and my afternoons are spent at home with my own two dogs, a 6 year old Chihuahua who just wants to sleep on or next to me and my first rescue who is still a puppy at 8 months old and loves to learn new tricks and chase his toys around. Why I love dog sitting I've been a animal lover since I was a child, as early as I can remember I wanted to be a veterinarian so I could help fix all the sick animals. I've always had animals growing up and my very first dog was a German Shepard named Buddy. I have had cats, dogs, hamsters, rats and fish. The only animals I fear is snakes. I have worked in a variety of animal care settings such as pet stores, grooming salons and pet hotels so I had been in a wide range of environments to work from. My favorite was the Pet hotel/Doggie Daycare because of the wide variation in breeds that you see coming in. My experience administering medication I have no problems with administering medications, one of my previous landlords had a cat that I would watch for her that had Diabetes and needed her insulin shots twice a day along with strict dietary food for weight management, her name was Savannah and she recently passed away. I run my own small dog walking/sitting business so I am blessed to have the flexibility to add on new fur friends when they need help. If the pets are coming to stay with me I have beds, toys and everything you can expect if you leave something at home, If I am sitting at the clients home I like to do a meet and greet beforehand to go over all the details and answer any questions or concerns the pet parents may have, I also make sure they know they can reach me pretty much anytime for an update on their pets.
About: I have been involved in my dog’s training classes and utilize what I learned about positive reinforcement and behavior/body cues in identifying stress, agitation, anxiety & timidity. I own three dogs that I feed two times a day, and take out every four hour’s, and play with inside and outside the house, along with taking them on walks around the neighborhood. I am very attentive and aware of their needs, I keep both an eye and an ear out for all of their wants, as well as keeping to a schedule for walks, medication, food, and whatever else is needed.
About: Hi there! I’ve had both dogs and cats in my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for animals is truly something I love. Whether it’s tossing a ball at the park or just hanging out for some cuddle time, I always make sure pets in my care get plenty of attention, exercise, and love. I’m happy to host dogs in my home, where they’ll enjoy a comfortable, safe space and lots of playtime. For cats, I offer drop-in visits or care in your home, as I currently have a resident cat and a pup who might not be the best match for a visiting feline friend. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority, and I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home—whether they’re with me or I’m visiting them. I am currently not working so this is going to be my one and only focus. I love animals, I love taking care of animals. I am somewhat disabled so I will be unable to take dogs for a walk but they can play plenty in my backyard. I have a fenced in yard. Both of my dogs use and love. They get plenty of outside time and running around and fetch time.
