“My Sassy girl is a handful and Bonnie always is so joyful when taking care of her regardless. I'm confident one of these days Sas will spend the entire visit not hiding under the bed!”

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats (and geckos) since I was young. I fostered an old cat August 2024 too. I'm good with pets. I am currently a college student, but I've got some time to take care of some lovely pets. I'm free almost everyday, never Wednesday though. I have fenced in yard, it's decent sized. I also have two leopard gecko, and a dog (Diesel). He's about 16 years old. Old man.
“Colin, as always, goes with the flow and follows my sassy girls' lead, while still getting them fed. I'm glad they actually had a Khloe sighting - it is a testament to Colin's perseverance in coming to feed them, regardless of the welcome Colin gets. (My shepherd mix often won't make an appearance at all). Colin is a champ! My yard lights went out and the sun was already down before feeding time came. My Miss Madeline is black and can be skiddish - not an easy playtime in the dark. With a quick heads up, Colin was ready with a flashlight and for hanging out with Mads, despite the darkness. I know she appreciated the attention. They were happy girls when I got home. Many thanks to Colin :-)”

“So glad we found Kari! She is reliable and trustworthy. She has come for several visits for my lab and my guinea pigs and she always sends great pics! I would recommend Kari for any household with pets!”

“Nicole went above and beyond caring for our five cats, even making it out during snowstorms. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about our pets. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands.”

“Sam's my favorite dog walker hands down - my boys always seems to really enjoy when they stop by to play and walk them. I'm always super sad when they're not available when I need them 😂”

“Katrina is so nice and was a pleasure to communicate with. She helped us in a time of need and made it so easy for us. I felt really comfortable with her caring for our pet. Will definitely use her again!”

About: I have had pets all my life and adore animals. I enjoy taking the time to play with the dogs, and giving them the love and attention that they need. The Townsend Rail Trail is right near my house, and I am able to enjoy multiple daily walks with my 4 year old Jack Russell Terrier, Loki, on that trail. At this time I are unable to accommodate dogs who are aggressive, or dogs who are not house trained. I currently work from Home, so I am able to devote plenty of time to ensuring that the dogs get plenty of love and attention throughout the day. My daughter also enjoy spending time with any dogs that I have at the house giving them extra love and attention throughout the day, always supervised and as appropriate with each dog. My yard is not fenced in, so a dog would be leashed to play in the yard, but I have a dog runs to enable the dogs to enjoy some time running freely in the grass each day. I am able to separate the dogs as needed and for feeding times to ensure that they remain stress free. We are able to accommodate crate training schedules as needed, our dog is only crate trained at night. We are home most of the time, but if we do leave the house we ensure that the dogs are not left alone for extended periods and we are able to seperate them safely while out of the house without crating them unless requested. We do have two cats, but as our dog does not get along with them we have them separated upstairs from the dogs and all pets are 100% safe. The dogs have free run of the downstairs and the cats have free run of the upstairs all day so that everyone remains safe and happy with no issues!
About: I love to work with animal, I’ve been in the veterinary profession for 10+ years. If your pet has special care instructions I will follow them perfectly. I have dogs, cats, and horses at home so I am very comfortable working with all sizes of animals. I also know how to care for birds, fish, guinea pigs, and hamsters and pigs. I know how much a pet can mean to someone so ill will care for yours as if they were my own I currently work 4 days a week. I am available Fridays to Sunday’s if you are looking for a weekend getaway or if you have a busy weekend and would like your dog to go for a walk I don’t offer in my home dog services but can offer cat or small animal boarding. You tell me home you’d like your pet cared for, weather it’s taking them for a walk or just letting them out in a fenced in area
“We decided at the last minute to go away for the weekend and had no dog sitter. Emily was available that day to meet our pups and then take care of them for the weekend! We received pictures and updates from every visit and came home to happy healthy pets. Thanks Emily!”

“Kaitlyn is great! At our meet and greet, she did great work building trust with our shy young dog and turned her into a fan by the end of the visit (and she was instant besties with our senior dog). Kaitlyn’s taken care of them two times and the dogs are clearly both having a great time with her already. She gives great updates with pictures and has been so easy to communicate with. I highly recommend working with Kaitlyn!”

About: Dependable, flexible, professional, well-organized, with good time management and interpersonal skills. My mission is to treat every dog with the same love and attention as their own parents, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience while in my care. I currently work full time Sunday-Tuesday and every other Wednesday. I am flexible with last minute requests and willing to do drop in visits even on the evenings I work. Committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of all pets through attentive walks, responsible waste cleanup, and consistent, positive communication with owners. Skilled in following client-specific instructions and providing detailed updates, including photos and walk reports. Passionate about animal welfare and dedicated to fostering a positive walking experience for every dog in my care.
About: I have loved animals my entire life, and have owned dogs since I was 10 (after begging my parents for years). I helped raise and train them both from puppies, and am more than willing to help your pup learn the basics! I’m very good with shy or sensitive animals, so send your misunderstood babies my way! I am a nursing student at Fitchburg State, so I am typically available after 3pm on weekdays, with some early morning availability. I am flexible and happy to work with you to find times that fit both of our schedules. I have a car with me at school, so getting to and from your home won’t be an issue. I am happy to walk and feed, as well as change litter boxes/puppy pads as needed. My top priority is making sure your pets feel loved, safe, and well cared for while you’re gone.

“First time using rover and Allegra was amazing, took great care of all my animals and always sent pictures and let me know how they were doing! 10/10 would recommend her and will be using her again in future!”


“Grayce was awesome with my cats!! She replied quickly to messages and left detailed notes during visits letting me know how my cats were doing and how much attention they were basking in while we were away! I would definitely book with Grayce again :)”

About: I’ve always had a dog since I was a child. Daily walks and bathroom breaks are all routine. I trained my last pup to sit and give his paw, he could even switch to left paw :) I only take care of one dog at a time to keep things less stressful and so your pup can get all the attention they deserve. I’m currently the caretaker of my family’s property while they’re away on vacation. They brought our dog, Duke, with them, so I have the house to myself with a ton of free time. I’m available 24/7 for you and your pets. I have a partially fenced yard with 1 acre of land. There’s plenty of space to walk, play, or use the bathroom. There’s an indoor pool for any swimmers and it’s in a quiet neighborhood. I live on a dead end, so there is no through traffic.
“Our pets seemed to really respond well to Amy, and her updates gave us a lot of peace of mind during our vacation. We will definitely be seeking her services for our next vacation!”
