About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and they are part of family. They just make everything better. We have 2 dogs of our own who are our spoiled babies I currently work at home and my office window looks right into yard so if the pups are outside playing I can see them at all times. I have a fenced yard. They are pretty much allowed to roam the whole house. Sleep on the bed, couch, wherever is comfortable for them
“Deborah provided excellent consistent service to check in on my 2 cats while I was on vacation for a weeks. Deborah provided great communication and detail about each visit. I will look forward to booking her in the future. Thanks”
About: I am a professional psychotherapist who works for myself. Caring for animals and others’ homes provides me a sense of connection to my community and is a way to help others—I know how stressful it can be to leave your furry family at home and it’s something I know I do well. I have two pets myself—a caring and sensitive Australian Shepherd named John Prine Jr (who is training to be a therapy dog!) and a sassy and silly tortoise cat named Bonnie Raitt. I kept rabbits for 15 years and had and loved other dogs and cats that are no longer with us. I’m a responsible, experienced house sitter with plenty of experience caring for humans and animals. I’m communicative, caring, and work to be attuned to your home and pet care needs; I am comfortable with any number of tasks that pet-owning and pet-sitting involves. Specialities include rabbits (including medicine administration), as well as caring for elder and aging pets. I work for myself and remotely—I make sure my day has the needed flexibility to meet your pets’ needs. I have scheduled my own work schedule to meet the needs of my own furry family. I have excellent references and folks I’ve known for years whose pets and homes I’ve cared for. I follow directions well, ask clarifying questions if I need help, and am happy to assist if I can.
About: I have my own pets that I take care of everyday and I love being outside. I would go on walks for hours. I am also really good a recognizing when pet's attitudes change I am a college student at western new england and work part time, but i love to squeeze in walks with your furry friends. I love to do over nights and will gladly travel to make sure your pets have the best time while you're away. I love to cuddle and play fetch. I always make sure a pet is comfortable around me before trying to cuddle or play with them.

About: I had a dog from birth until he had turned 18, and I had been his sole caregiver for the last 4-5 years of his life. I also grew up around dogs and cats, currently I own 2 cats, a boy named Winston who is 2 and a girl named Amelia who is just over 6 months old. I have always been a reliable source in pet care for walking, feeding, playing, and bathing a loved ones pet. I currently live with two cats who use tofu litter, which needs to be changed every day otherwise it will spoil. Both kitties get bathed on a monthly basis and are fed wet food twice a day. I always measure their meals and check ingredients to make sure my cats are getting the healthiest they can be. Winston is a long haired cat who requires a groom every 2 months so I take him to the groomer as well. In clients homes, I will clean up after any dog/cat messes, make sure they’re fed and have taken any medications or treatments they might need. I currently cannot take an pets in my home but I am available for stop-ins and in-home pet sitting, as well as walks to get the sillies out in high energy animals.
“Marissa did an amazing job with my little girl! Marissa went above and beyond of what I asked. I simply just wanted to make sure my dog was walked and fed when I was gone for the day. However, Marissa spent so much time with Sage well beyond the time I was hoping and even took her on an adventure which I know Sage must have LOVED! I will absolutely be using Marissa again! I can’t even begin to express how grateful I was knowing that Sage was taken care of so well! ?”

In addition to walking our dogs five days a week, Faith has provided overnight care for our two pups. We trust Faith completely and are so blessed to have her taking care of our fur children.”
