About: I've taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I've always been a very empathetic person and just love to wave and say hi to dogs going by. I've had dogs of all sizes. My most recent is experience with Chihuahuas. I just love them! I've raised 2 dogs from 8 weeks old. I love all stages of a dogs life, from puppy to senior. I also have experience with senior dogs who need special care and medication. I'm currently working for myself, so I have plenty of time to spend playing, caring, loving and walking with your pets. I'm available M-F 9-6 pm. I like to make sure the pet is comfortable. I want the pet to feel at home with me. The least amount of change from the pets daily activities are important for the pet to feel safe and happy.

Brittney took great care of Otis. When I came home he was happy, fed and watered and she sent me some great pictures of him having fun in the snow. I appreciate the peace of mind I got from hiring her thank you very much.

About: Hi there! I’m Fawn, a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes. Growing up, I was the go-to pet sitter for my neighbors, where I looked after a variety of pets, giving them plenty of playtime, exercise, and, of course, cuddles! I’ve been lucky enough to share my life with both big and small dogs, including gentle giants like English and Bull Mastiffs, Rottweilers, and Pit Bulls, as well as smaller pals like Beagles and Chihuahuas. I understand that every pet has their own personality, energy level, and routine, and I’m dedicated to tailoring my care to meet each animal’s unique needs. At home, I’m a pet parent to two wonderful cats and a dog, so I know firsthand how important it is to find a reliable, loving caretaker. I offer flexible pet care services tailored to your needs, including house sitting, drop-in visits, or walks depending on location. With very open availability, I would be thrilled to care for your furry friend! Whether they need a brisk walk, a cozy snuggle, or some good playtime, I’m here to make sure they’re happy, healthy, and safe. Pet care is my passion, and I’m excited to fill my days with extra furry friends. Caring for pets is a fulfilling way for me to unwind and do something I love while helping pet owners like you. I’m based near Barre, MA, and service Franklin, Worcester and Hampshire Counties, allowing me to offer services across a wide area and provide flexible care for pets in both locations. My main focus is keeping your fur baby safe and happy! I will follow any and all instructions you leave for your animal. I’m very communicative and super reliable. I work full-time as a pet sitter (my “day job” is only 2 days a week, 6 hour shifts), allowing me to carefully plan my schedule to ensure I have plenty of time to give each pet the attention they deserve. Pet care is my primary focus, and I love being able to provide quality care during mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I genuinely love spending time with animals, so whether it’s walks, playtime, or simply companionship, I’m excited to fill my days with extra furry friends. Caring for pets is not just a job for me — it’s a true passion. It gives me the opportunity to unwind, do what I love, and support my personal goals. My main focus is keeping your fur baby safe and happy! I will follow any and all instructions you leave for your animal. I’m very communicative and super reliable.

Lindsay was amazing! She took my request last minute due to a family emergency and was so kind and accommodating. We had a great meet and greet, and she took wonderful care of my shy dog, Georgia. She sent great updates and made me feel completely at ease. Georgia really took to her, which says a lot. I would absolutely book with Lindsay again!

About: I’ve been a pet owner my whole life since I was a little tike. Started with a beagle that I couldn’t get enough of. When I became older i adopted a red nose pittie named boo-boo and a few months later another named Meika. They were my best buds. After their passing I got into providing over night stays for my fur nephew cooper and a family friend whom has four German Shepard’s two horses a cat and dog. I was loving it! Later on I got a job in the four legged field walking dogs, play groups and providing simple behavioral training/commands with positive redirection. I recently adopted a puppy named Orion who is three months old. I really have a passion for animals and enjoy what I do. My services provided are walks with basic commands/training during those walks. If your away I can stay! Boarding can be hard and stressful for your pet. I do over night care so your fur baby can stay in the comfort of their home.

About: I am a lifelong animal lover, and have owned dogs, birds, bunnies, guinea pigs, hamsters and mice. Currently I own 2 cats with my partner named Rebel and Scout. Growing up my family dogs have included lhasa apsos, dandie dinmont terriers, a german shepherd, and a golden lab. I have experience sitting all types of dogs so whether you have a small medium or large dog, i am comfortable with all sizes. I also was an American Kennel Club junior handler for five years and during that time I showed my lhasa apsos. I have assisted with 4 four litters of lhasa puppies and am experienced with house training, puppy training, care etc. If you have any other questions I would be happy to answer them and look forward to the opportunity to become a friend to your precious pets! :) I am currently a homemaker, and am fortunate to have some flexibility! Just let me know the times/days you need. M-F preferred weekends are negotiable! My preference is to take care of pets at clients home. It is difficult to have other animals inside with the cats however I do have a fenced in area in my yard I can offer for them to be in!

About: I've been taking care of animals for over 17 years now, and I've been around animals for my entire life. I currently own 3 ducks, a horse, and a cat - I take care of them daily. Over the years I've had chickens, sheep, a bird, a dog, and guinea pigs. I love taking care of animals so much that I was involved in nursing one of my chickens back to health when she lost a wing to a predator. She stayed inside for a while but was more than okay to go back outside after she was healed. Once she was ready to join the rest of chickens, she thrived with the other chickens. For walking at home, I walk on different days for around 1 mile each way, and with animals I love to walk with them. I'm available during most times of the day, as my nights are usually unavailable due to overnights with pets. Some nights will be available, but as of right now it's often booked! Just a heads up is appreciated. I do not have a fence around my property, but I will walk your dog whenever is needed to let them outside. If you don't have a fenced area, I will do the same for your own pet!

We were camping in Barre, MA and needed a dog walker while we visited friends in the area. Kalliah knew where the campground was located and met us for a meet and greet. She was wonderful with the dogs and we were very happy to have her take care of them while we were in the area.
