About: I have taken care of pets (cats, dogs and birds) all my life. I have ample experience with dogs, including puppies…we had 10 rescue puppies at one point in time! I’m super patient and accommodating with our 4 legged friends as I have 3 full sized dogs and 2 cats myself. I have a full time job but am able to provide care in the evenings and weekends. I have a fenced dog lot and 1.5 acres to walk your fur baby (leashed) as well as access to a private country road. I have three full sized dogs and two cats in my own home. My home is large enough to separate pets as needed and to allow for ample play room if everyone gets along. I can let your pets out or take them for walks at your home as well.

Sebrena was absolutely amazing! She popped in to take care of our dogs while I was gone on a work trip and they love her. Sebrena, thank you again for going the extra mile when we had issues with our door lock, and we'll definitely contact you for the next work trip!

I also go to college 2 days a week during the morning and usually leave around 12:30pm. I have a dog and shes has always been an outside dog. But she has stayed around my house and doesn't go anywhere or run off anywhere.

Lisa is very kind and gentle and clearly loves animals. My Great Pyrenees and my Sheltie/Husky loved having her drop in for a potty break today, and we'll definitely be calling on her for more care and snuggles in the future! Thanks Lisa!

About: As a dog sitter, I specialize in personalized care tailored to each dog's needs. Whether it's training puppies, providing specialized care for seniors, or simply offering companionship, I prioritize the well-being and happiness of every furry friend in my care. On weekends, I seamlessly integrate pet care into my routine, considering the needs of my own two dogs alongside those of any additional pets under my care. This involves coordinating activities to ensure each dog receives individualized attention, exercise, and affection. From group walks to supervised playtime and separate feeding schedules, I prioritize harmony and balance to create a positive and enriching environment for all furry companions. In both my home and clients' homes, I offer comprehensive pet care tailored to the specific needs of each furry friend. This includes regular feeding, exercise, playtime, grooming, and administering any necessary medication. Additionally, I maintain a clean and safe environment, provide companionship, and follow any special instructions provided by the pet owner. Whether it's overnight stays, daily visits, or dog walking services, I prioritize the well-being and happiness of every pet entrusted to my care.

About: Owned a dog since forever. Currently have 2 shelties-3yrs and 1yrs old. But have taken care of dogs all breeds, sizes, ages, and stages of life. I am currently taking a break from my career to reset, recharge, and just enjoy life with my 2 young Shelties. Daily we walk, run, play. It is part of our life. Cat wise my cats care is part of our daily routine. I spoil them and have cat trees in windows for them to watch the neighborhood and provide them with all their favorite toys. Walking and drop in service wise- let me know times, dates, ways to enter the house. If able I would love to bring my dogs to join. If not that is fine. I am willing to walk as much and as long as needed. Drop in share what you need and I will help. I can also give medications if needed.

About: I’ve had a pet all my life. I’ve worked professionally with dogs for the past 3 years. I have a cat of my own as well. I’ve worked at a dog boarding facility as well as a doggy daycare. Currently, I have an internship Thursday-Sunday, 5 hours each day. I’m available every evening/afternoon after my internship. I’m also available Monday-Wednesday at any time. :) I love spending time with furry friends, so I’m happy to fulfill whatever needs your pets may have! I love high energy walks and playing an intense game of fetch or tug of war, but I also love spending time with fur babies that may not be as energetic and may just want to relax or go on a slow paced stroll!

About: I have had pets since I was a little girl. Started out with cats, and then when I was 9 I got my first dog. Ever since then I’ve had 5 dogs total, and around 10 cats since I was little as well. I am well versed on how to take care of both and my dog Shiloh has helped me a lot in this :) I am a counselor most days of the week but I have time in the morning and evenings most days and weekends I’m usually free. I’m here for most holidays and throughout the summer as well! I am willing and able to walk the doggos, feed them and give them water, let them out for potty breaks, brush them and wash them if needed, and taking them to the dog park is an option as well. I know how to care for cats in giving them space when needed and attention when needed, feeding and giving them water, and any other tasks I’m asked to do, as well as picking up poop.

Valerie has watched my kitty, Sammy, three times now. She shows up as promised and sends me photos of my sweet boy. She doesn’t hesitate to contact me with questions or to reassure that Sammy is fine. I’d recommend Valerie to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter.

Selena was able to watch my cat with only three days notice. My regular sitter canceled at the last minute before my vacation. My cat was happy and healthy when I returned home. The feeding schedules were a little different than he was used to because we were squeezed in at the last minute.

I felt so comfortable leaving my cats in Liz’s care. Her posts were very informative and the cats did not seen mad at us at all when we came home- so that means they enjoyed their time with Liz as well!! I would definitely use her services again!

Liz was absolutely wonderful, and our fur babies adored her. Since moving to Bedford three years ago, this was the first time we needed someone to help care for them—and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We have five cats and one dog, and typically, the cats vanish whenever someone new enters the house. But Liz was the exception—they greeted her each day like an old friend. I loved receiving photos that showed just how happy and loved they were. Without a doubt, we’d welcome Liz back in a heartbeat.
