“We are so grateful to Lori, who hopped in the car and came a long way to help us out at the very last minute. She took our high energy 3-year-old lab on a fun hiking adventure and took so many cute photos. We will definitely use Lori again!”

About: Hello! Thank you for considering me as a new best friend for your fur baby! I will provide excellent care with my experience and understanding of animal behavior. I have been pet sitting since I was 12 years old. I worked for a dog walking and pet sitting company for 7 years and I also worked for 2 dog daycares and a mobile vaccine clinic for dogs and cats. I also have a degree in animal science. I am available in the evenings for dog walking or cats that only need one visit a day or any pet sitting in the evening if your morning person is unavailable for an evening visit and throughout the whole day on my days off. I work in the mornings as a baker and am home by 2:30 everyday. I am available for evening visits and all day on my days off. I currently am working as a baker at big y 5 days a week but I miss working with animals and want to be able to enjoy both the security of my current job and to do pet care which I also love! I am renting so can only offer services at your home but have an incredibly dog friendly dog of my own if a play date is something you would be interested in. I will respect any instructions you have about entering your home and will keep it safe and secure. I am adaptable and can do whatever you prefer that makes your pets day the best day ever! This can be playtime inside or outside or walks.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs all my life, dogs are more than just pets they are a big part of our families. I treat every animal like it is my own. I am currently working until about 2pm during the week, but I am able to pivot my schedules if needed with a four day notice. I can take care of pets in the clients home. I can walk, bathe, give medication if needed. I will treat their home like it’s my own and ensure your animal is comfo And loved!

“Dan is so attentive and caring with my dog. He clearly understands dog behavior. I totally trust him which is very relieving since I have a large rescue. He communicates well, is always on time and is flexible if I need a change in schedule. I feel so lucky to have him around. Thanks for all you do Dan!”

“Maggie's walked my pit bull Edna several times. She's easy to communicate with and Edna's well cared for. I would definitely recommend her!”

About: I love spending time with animals! I’ve always loved them. I grew up with multiple golden retrievers (as you can see in my photos LOL). Lastly: I love to help animal owners feel safe when they are entrusting me with their pet 😀. I am free all day. Please book what times you need and I should be able to accommodate them! So 7am-7pm is best times for me I will treat your pets just as I treat mine - with lots of love! I understand the anxiety of trusting others to care for your animals but I can assure you I will treat them exactly as you ask

“We are so happy we found Abigail! She is communicative and extremely flexible- with scheduling and with our very different dogs. She is patient and responsive with our sick dog and also can manage our more wild dog, both with a calm gentleness. She clearly has a strong understanding of dogs as well as a deep love for them.”

About: Hello! I've been caring for pets since my family got our first dog when I was a toddler. We had cats, dogs, and birds in my household growing up. I am also comfy with small rodent and game type animals. I would need more snake and reptile training if you are looking for that kind of pet-care. Dogs are admittedly my favorite! Can't afford my own yet – I'm switching career fields, drastically, in hopes of a more stable life. Right now I'm building my new resume with a lot of free work, and am looking to walk dogs and pet-sit to make a little cash in the interim. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes if they are leash trained. I weigh about 100lbs myself, so any dogs that weigh more than me *must* be leash trained already. I can help you leash train your smaller dogs. I have experience with light dog-training (mostly sit, down, and stay) and would be happy to help you reinforce that as well. Hit me up! Can't wait to meet your furbabe. I work half time M-Th and am in online grad school otherwise. Im mostly looking for Saturday gigs, anytime, or evening gigs on Sun, Mon, Tues or Fri (sometime after 4:30). I do not offer services at my own home. I rent and my cats are not friendly to unknown animals. That said, I make sure my cats are spoiled as can be.

“Super caring and very responsive! :)”

About: Need someone you can trust with your baby? That's me! Trustworthy, reliable, affectionate, probably too affectionate lol. Experience with big and small dogs, I am stern and loving and love to spoil with extra long walks and cuddles. I know it is hard leaving your loved one with a stranger so any questions or concerns are welcome. I am here to make your experience comfortable and worry free that is why i like to send picture updates of your little one having fun. Cant wait to make a new friend to keep me company while we go for walks, play fetch, eat meals together and snuggle and pet at the end of the day, or whatever your little guy likes! Thanks for your consideration :)

About: I am a speech-language pathologist in Greenfield, MA and love working with animals on the side when possible. I started dogsitting down in Rhode Island in 2014 while I was in graduate school. I've also grown up with dogs in my life (a black lab/german shepard mix and a yellow lab). I have some experience with puppy training and enjoy going on walks with and exercising dogs. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover since I can remember. I've grown up having a dog. My first dog was a black lab/German Shepard mix named Pretina. I would play with her, take her on walks, go hiking with her, and many more activities. My second family dog, Piper, was a yellow lab who I had since she was a puppy. I helped in her puppy training and have enjoyed all the previously mentioned activities with her as well. Many of my friends and extended family have also had dogs which I've enjoyed playing with and caring for. During my undergrad career, I petsat for my professor's yellow lab and thoroughly enjoyed caring for him when I was so far from my own dog. My experience administering medication I am comfortable administering medication, though I would like to be shown how to administer it and practice with the owner before sitting for the dog. I have some experience administering insulin shots to a cat. I work in schools, so I am generally available before 8am and after 3pm on weekdays during the school year. During school breaks and summer, I have more availability. I care for your dogs following client preferences. I will let dogs out into a fenced in back yard, crate when left alone at home, keep on leash for walks, etc. as indicated by owners. In general, I would default to keeping dogs on leash during walks and not letting them out on their own unless the yard is fenced in.

“Thank you Nick for walking Huck! Nick took our dog for walks. He is reliable and punctual. We plan to ask him to take care of our dog again!”

About: My first job as a kid was taking care of the neighborhood pets. I’ve always had a close bond with animals and have experience with rescue dogs, special needs pets, and senior dogs. I have an extra special place in my heart for pitties and you can know that your bully breed will be safe and respected when in my care. I’m currently working a flexible part-time schedule so I have plenty of availability. I am available for regular weekly walks and play sessions, and with the summer months coming up I am also available for vacation or temporary sitting opportunities. I enjoy physical activity, being outdoors, and hope to spend time hiking and playing outside with your dogs. I can lift 120lbs and hold a current wilderness first aid certification and can confidently respond to any pet emergencies that may occur.

“Ariana is awesome!!! Not only takes the pup for a long walk, she also does training. Thank you AW.”
