“Great experience with Liam! Our dog is a 60 lbs Am Staff and tends to pull on walks and be defiant when she wants to go a certain way. Liam handles her well and most important of all, she enjoys him!”

About: I have had lots of felines through the years and really love taking care of them. I also love playing with dogs and taking them for long walks. They have lots of energy and love exploring as much as I do. 🐕 I have lots of time to care for and play with your felines, dogs and birds. It is the best time of the year to get outside and explore the area with dogs. We start the day by taking a walk and eating breakfast. Follow the pet's usual walking route unless otherwise instructed. I allow the dog to explore and sniff within safe limits. I provide exercise tailored to the dog's age, breed, and health. I avoid interactions with unknown dogs and people to prevent any potential conflicts.

“Bridget walked my dog, and she was excellent. I trusted her to go into my home without my being there. She’s very communicative, friendly, and is wonderful with my pup. I will definitely use her again!”

“Maria was able to take our pups on walks on very short notice. She is very polite, was always on time and sent lots of pictures. Pups enjoyed their walks and always came back happy and tired! Highly recommend.”

About: I’ve been an animal lover since I was a kid. Animals are a passion of mine, as well as traveling, music and photography. The slogan Eat, Play, Love is a spin off of my favorite Eat, Pray, Love. I grew up with dogs, cats and bunnies. I loved each & every one of them. When I got older I turned my passion into a form of income. I’m a former kennel-hand at veterinary hospitals. I’m also a former Pet Car Technician at K9 Resorts Luxury Dog Hotel of Roxbury. I’ve been house/ pet sitting for years now but just as a side job & usually by word of mouth. Now I’ve turned it into a full-time business. I’ve dealt with breeds ranging from golden retrievers and labs to rottweilers and pitbulls to chihuahuas and french bulldogs. I believe I am fully capable to properly and lovingly take care of your furry friend(s) ! Currently, this is my full-time job. I may pick up a serving job on weekend nights but for now, I have open availability & I’m really flexible. I care for your furry friends with lots of love. I like to go for walks so I am willing and able to take your pet with me!

“Mike walks Cali on a regular basis. Cali loves going on walks with Mike and is happy to see him. This particular walk was requested last minute. Mike was flexible and said he would help right away. He even asked if Cali needed to eat as well. It was a huge help and he is a fantastic dog walker!”

“Sarah is the best! She helped us take care of our dog when my husband and I were away for 2 days and sent cute pictures to tell us that our dog was feeling happy and well. She has been a tremendous help.”

About: Pet Care Experience With a lifelong passion for animals, I have cultivated extensive experience caring for a diverse array of creatures, including dogs, cats, non-venomous snakes, ferrets, fish, and rodents, through both personal devotion and professional work. Since childhood, I’ve been drawn to animals of all kinds—whether they have scales, fur, fins, or feathers—and have spent years nurturing my own pets while honing my skills. My professional experience includes working at a pet store, where I strengthened my expertise in animal husbandry, handling, and care for a wide variety of species, from setting up habitats for reptiles to advising on proper nutrition for fish and rodents. This hands-on background has equipped me to manage everything from a playful puppy’s energy to a senior pet’s gentle requirements. I am adept at administering medications with precision and adhering to specific dietary needs, ensuring each pet receives tailored care that keeps them healthy and happy. What Sets Me Apart from Other Sitters What distinguishes me is my blend of personal passion and professional expertise, underpinned by my pet store experience, which has deepened my understanding of diverse animal needs. My special skills include puppy training, using positive reinforcement to teach basic commands and socialization, and senior pet care, where I provide gentle support, including mobility assistance and careful monitoring of health conditions. My work with exotic animals, such as snakes and ferrets, allows me to confidently manage their unique requirements, from habitat maintenance to specialized feeding. I’m available any day, any time, regardless of weather, prioritizing safety and comfort for both your pet and myself. This is just the beginning of my journey, and my enthusiasm to continue learning ensures your pets receive exceptional, compassionate care that goes beyond the ordinary. Schedule: How Pet Care Fits into My Daily or Weekly Routine Having recently been laid off, I have chosen to pursue my lifelong passion for animals by making pet care my full-time profession. This transition allows me to dedicate my entire schedule to providing exceptional care for your pets, ensuring flexibility and availability to meet their needs. My daily and weekly routine is fully centered around pet sitting, dog walking, and animal care, accommodating creatures of all kinds—whether they have scales, fur, fins, or feathers. I am available any day, any time, regardless of weather, to provide services such as dog walking, pet sitting, administering medications, or adhering to specific dietary requirements. My professional experience at a pet store, combined with my personal expertise with dogs, cats, non-venomous snakes, ferrets, fish, and rodents, equips me to handle diverse care needs with precision and compassion. Whether it’s daily walks for an energetic puppy, gentle care for a senior pet, or specialized attention for exotic animals, I structure my schedule to prioritize the safety, comfort, and happiness of every pet. This is just the beginning of my full-time journey in pet care, and I am committed to tailoring my routine to ensure your animals receive the dedicated, loving attention they deserve. Pet Sitting (In Your Home or Mine) In Your Home: When pet sitting in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining the pet’s familiar environment to minimize stress. I conduct a thorough pre-visit consultation to understand your pet’s routine, dietary needs, and any special requirements, such as medication administration, for which I am highly experienced. I adhere strictly to your instructions, ensuring precise feeding schedules and safe handling, particularly for exotic animals like snakes or ferrets that require specialized care. To ensure safety, I inspect the home for potential hazards (e.g., exposed wires or toxic plants) and secure any areas that could pose risks. For trust, I provide regular updates with photos or videos, so you know your pet is thriving. My COVID-19 precautions include wearing a mask during interactions when physical distancing is not possible, sanitizing hands before and after visits, and disinfecting any equipment used, such as feeding tools. In My Home: When caring for pets in my home, I create a clean, safe, and welcoming space tailored to their needs. My home is pet-proofed, with secure areas for different species—crates for dogs, enclosures for reptiles, or tanks for fish—to prevent accidents and ensure comfort. I maintain a calm environment, limiting stressors like loud noises, and provide separate spaces for animals that may not coexist well, such as rodents and cats. My experience with exotic and domestic animals allows me to set up appropriate habitats, such as temperature-controlled spaces for reptiles or cozy bedding for senior pets. I am adept at administering medications and meeting specific dietary needs, ensuring every pet feels at home. To build trust, I invite clients to visit my home beforehand and provide frequent updates during their pet’s stay. Dog Walking For dog walking, I am available any day, any time, regardless of weather, and prioritize safety and comfort for both your dog (or other walkable pets, like cats or ferrets) and myself. I use sturdy, well-fitted leashes and harnesses, inspecting them before each walk to ensure reliability. My routes are chosen to avoid hazards like busy roads, and I remain vigilant for environmental risks, such as extreme weather or aggressive animals. For puppies, I incorporate training techniques like positive reinforcement to encourage good behavior, while for senior dogs, I adjust pace and distance to suit their mobility. My pet store experience enhances my ability to read animal behavior, ensuring I respond promptly to signs of stress or discomfort. To maintain trust, I communicate with clients about their pet’s walk, noting any notable behaviors or incidents. COVID-19 safety measures include sanitizing equipment after each walk and maintaining physical distance during client interactions. Animal Care (General) Whether caring for exotic or domestic animals, I tailor my approach to each species’ unique needs. For example, I ensure proper habitat conditions for snakes (e.g., correct temperature and humidity), provide engaging activities for ferrets, and monitor water quality for fish. My pet store background has honed my skills in maintaining clean and safe enclosures, preventing health issues. I am meticulous in administering medications and following dietary restrictions, whether it’s hand-feeding a finicky cat or preparing specialized meals for a rodent. To foster trust, I keep clients informed with detailed updates and am available for questions at any time. My home and any client spaces I work in are kept clean and sanitized, with strict adherence to COVID-19 protocols, such as hand hygiene and equipment disinfection, to protect both pets and clients.

“Mikayla was an awesome walker for my dog, he has some behavioral problems and she was always patient and kind to him, and kept me in the loop about how he was doing. If was really comforting to know I could leave my dog with someone that I trusted.”

About: I have taken care of my 3 dogs, black lab, Chihuahua, and Brittany spaniel since about 8 years old. I love taking them on walks, playing ball and just hanging out with them! I am a full time student so I am super flexible with any bookings! I am able to do drop ins, walks, and overnight stays all 7 days of the week! I can do whatever you would like with your dog and where ever is most comfortable for you.If that be your backyard, house, in a neighborhood, or in the park. I also take taking care of your family’s baby very seriously!

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 7 years old. Growing up, I had four dogs at once as family pets. My siblings and I were responsible for taking care of them. Their breeds ranged from English Mastiff, to Great Dane, to Jack Russell Terrier. I especially helped take care of them towards the end of their lives, where care is more challenging. They have since passed, and I now have a 3 year old Lab of my own. Neighbors and family members have always relied on me to take care of their pets while away, and the dogs have always taken a liking to me. I pride myself on having experience with a wide range of breeds and sizes. I promise you’ll dog will be in good hands, as I know the unnerving feeling of leaving your pet with a stranger. As a teacher, I thankfully have the entire summer off. I’m available morning, day, night, and weekends! There is no time that is off limits. I will care for your dog however you request in your home, whether that be left out or crated. They will be walked or played with until their heart’s content!

About: With a lifetime of experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, turtles, and guinea pigs, I bring a deep understanding and love for animals. From my Eagle Scout project, where I built a heated outdoor cat house and cat walk for an animal sanctuary, and volunteering at the same sanctuary caring for all the animals, to even birthing a dog with 7 puppies, I’ve always gone the extra mile to ensure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I grew up with 4 pit bulls, dobermans, and german shepherds. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority. I am pet first aid certified, a member of Pet Sitters International, AND a certified pet sitter. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. Every morning starts with feeding and checking on my birds, I ensure they have fresh food, clean cages, and some out-of-cage time for flying or play. My evenings include settling all the animals in my care, ensuring their environments are safe and comfortable, and spending quality time with each. Weekly, I focus on cleaning, grooming, and planning for upcoming stays or any special care needs. Pet care is more than a task for me—it’s a rewarding part of my everyday life. When we sit pets, we treat them like part of the family. In our secure, fenced yard, dogs get plenty of playtime and exercise, whether it’s fetch, running around, or simply exploring the space. Our yard is also treated with Vets Best tick/flea spray. I always supervise outdoor time to ensure they’re safe and happy. My goal is to ensure they feel at home while their owners are away, with a mix of outdoor fun, indoor comfort, and plenty of love.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life from the time I was a little kid. I have always loved dogs and recently over the past 2 years have cared for my own dog Walker who is as sweet as can be! Able to give baths to the dog as well as long walks as we have dog parks in my apartment complex Fits into my schedule perfectly as I am available all day long. I wake up at 6 to let my dog out and work from home on my own business Give them love and attention while also giving them toys and treats to play with and keep themselves occupied. Your honorary family member will be in great hands

About: My family and I have been taking care of dogs on and off for 15 years. Our dog has had two litters totaling 23 (Creampuff Labradoodle is the breeder) which we have hosted in our home as they grew up. We love nature, being outdoors, and all things animal related! We host play dates at our home often and our pup enjoys the company. Things to note: we are a busy household and have three children. We are in and out throughout the day but never for long periods of time when watching pups. Visiting dogs must be comfortable around my dog and children. I will always do a meet and greet before taking a dog in. Must know basic training skills and be clean upon arrival, and be house trained. Things to bring for day care/boarding: Bed, water and food bowls, crate. If a crate is not an option then we can use our gated corral. They are able to have free rein over house, I am fine with that but as a safety precaution or for use when we leave I prefer to have an option to contain the pups. I have toys, towels, and treats. If any signs of aggression are shown or excessive behaviors I will ask if I can gently train your dog with a sound device. I have used this on my own dog and it works great as a non invasive tool if unpredictable circumstances arise. Our back yard is fenced and we take extra care at our front door and can block the foyer with an extra gate for safety. I own a photography business so I make my own schedule. If I am away from the house, it is not for long at all and I do all my editing from my home office. I am flexible and accommodating to various needs. I have a fully fenced back yard. We have a gate for leaving uncreated dogs in if we run out for a bit. It can block off the foyer area or be set up by the deck door for views of the yard.

About: I’m a nanny by trade but have been taking care of dogs, Pet sitting and house sitting for over 20 years. I’ve taken care of puppies, energetic dogs and elderly dogs who need a bit more patience and understanding. Iam dependable, punctual and above all I love animals. Your dog will get a lot of attention, hugs and love when I’m with them. Whether it’s a walk around the block, or playing fetch in the yard, your dog will always have my full attention. I’m free during the day and afternoon. I’m also available on short notice. I have a reliable car and clean driving record and have no problem transporting your dog if needed. If you want someone to give your dog love and attention then I’m the one for you.
