“Vicky and her family were wonderful with Athena! She got lots of love and attention, and I received updates throughout. She came home happy and content. I would definitely use them again.”

About: My husband and I have cared for and trained our own dogs since we were kids, sometimes as many as 4 dogs at once. Our beloved dogs Blue & Holly (both weimaraners) died two and one year ago and we find ourselves missing them both so much. We would love to host or walk your dog and give them the same love and attention we gave our Blue & Holly. We currently have 10 acres of land with numerous dog-friendly trails for lots of walking, sniffing, and exercise! Axel works from home and our family is also home most of the day and our boys are homeschooled so we have flexible schedules during school hours, most times after 8am. We may be able to be more flexible, so please let us know! For visits/walking: We are able to fit in whatever your pup needs. From walks (including small amount of training, if desired) to playing in your house or yard, to simple affection. Depending on the time or scenario, we may be able to go running with your pooch a few times a week. We love dogs! We have a large backyard and also go on at least two long dog walks per day. Dogs can snuggle in the house or play in the backyard throughout the day. We have 5 kids who have experience with large dogs and are eager to meet your pup. Please, only dogs that are good with children and other dogs.
“Jacquie is a true dog lover and her home is set up well for daycare. Our two pups loved her and enjoyed the time she spent outdoors with them, as well as playing and snoozing in the home.”
“Another great stay with Michael and his family! They were so accommodating of our last minute request, especially with it being a holiday weekend. He takes great care of Teddy and you can tell he really wants to understand and build a strong bond with our dog! Will continue to bring Teddy here again and again!”

“Marlowe loves going to Melissa’s for daycare. He gets socialized with other dogs and plays outside. Melissa is always flexible and understanding if I’m running behind a little.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs my entire life — from family pets growing up to helping friends, neighbors, and clients with daily walks, overnight stays, and everything in between. Dogs have always been part of my world, and I treat every one like they’re my own. I’m attentive, patient, and tuned into each dog’s unique personality and needs — whether that’s long walks, structured routines, playtime, or just extra cuddles. Your pup will be safe, loved, and well cared for with me. I am available all week with the exception of my gym time for an hour each day- I work for home so am very flexible. We have a large yard with 3 sides of it being fenced. Mainly I would like to take your dog to a gated park to play and get some fresh air, or wherever you like us to go. I do have a car for transportation.

“Tracy was such a good sitter for our dog! She had great communication and was very friendly and accommodating to our schedule. She provided plenty of photos and updates as well. We’ll definitely book her again if we need a sitter!”

“Lauren took great care of my baby Scotch when I was visiting Worcester. She kept him for doggy daycare and when I picked him up he was in such a good mood. Usually he gets really sad when I leave him but Lauren ensured he was happy. He went out for great walks and got some good playtime in. She kept us updated on everything throughout the day and included pictures. We are so happy with her service and wished we had a sitter like her in our hometown. 10/10 would HIGHLY recommend”

“Once again, Joy didn’t want to leave! She thinks visiting at Swetha’s is Doggy Disney. I had something come up at the last minute and Swetha was very understanding and accommodating. Thank again for taking such great care of Joy!”

“Meli took such great care of my fur baby! From the moment I was in touch with Meli, I felt safe and excited about the opportunity to have Ollie spend the day with her and her pup Nina. She was warm and assuring, and very quick to respond to messages! When I met Meli in person to drop Ollie off, I was happy to find such a friendly and kind person in real life, too! She sent me photos and updates throughout the 6 hours that Ollie was with her for “day care” (without me even needing to ask!) and I could tell he was having fun and being taken care of so well! I would absolutely recommend Meli and would love to have Ollie stay with her again if we need a sitter in Bloomington. Thanks Meli! ?”

“We are once again repeat customers with Anastasia, and she took great care of my pup while I was away for the day. He always comes home tired and happy after a day with Anastasia.”

“Lee did a great job caring for my poodle at his home in West Boylston, which says a lot because Louie can be pretty snarky and anxious. I’d happily recommend Lee to anyone looking for a reliable, competent dog sitter in the Worcester–Leominster area.”
“Paola is the BEST! Our Stella Jo bounds out of the car with joy and comes home tired and happy. If this dog sitter career ever gets tiresome, she would be a wonderful pet photographer! Our whole family loves all the great pics!”

“Elaine has a knack for putting our somewhat anxious Ipo at ease. She can sense Elaine is a patient, serious dog lover with years of experience caring for many clients as well as her own Brady. Elaine’s flexible, very easy to work with. We’re booking a 2wks boarding , first time away in years! Highly recommend”

“Ben was fantastic. He took our pups at the last minute, and the hours I needed a sitter were not ideal. He was kind and the dogs were very happy when we picked them up. Ben sent multiple photos and was quick to reply to my questions. He has made some knowledge information on the dogs behavior. Thank you.”

“Rosie had a fantastic time at Margaret’s house. She was very comfortable and Margaret was very knowledgeable about older dogs. She took Rosie on several walks during the day and gave her lunch.”
