About: I had a cute little poodle/dachshund mix dog who we adopted when I was 10 years old. We adopted a cat called Kitty about 20 years ago and after she passed away adopted a new car called Bear 4 years ago. We currently also have a bird (conure) called Mango who both seem to coexist quite well and often pet sit a cute little Yorkshire Terrier called Stewie. I am currently working from home and can check in with pets whenever the owner would like me to. I would enjoy the break from regular work and look forward to looking after your pet. I love to go for walks and would be happy to take your dog for a long nice walk in the area. I currently have a lazy cat at home who doesn't care about toys so would enjoy playing with your cat in your home!

About: I have 5 acres of wooded land that we made a trail in just for our dogs. The last of who has just passed. Would love to see paw prints in the trail again. I am a stay at home mom. With my youngest now in high school. So besides the occasional appointment and nature walk. I am usually home all week. As far as walking. I love walking all the dog friendly trails. Even if it’s to see other dogs. We are a dog friendly home with gates on our deck so that pups can enjoy the outdoors even more.

“Stella is a lovely young woman and her warmth and enthusiasm toward our pup was heartening! We hope that when we move to our new town, in a few months, that she can walk Misty regularly!”


About: I've grown up around dogs and cats my whole life. I have cared for pets while friends/family were away and enjoy doing so. I love spending time with animals. At the moment I am part time and have my daughter. My schedule is very open. Even on my work days I am free the first half of the day. However you want them taken care of is how I will do so. Always with love and kindness. I see my pets as my family.

About: My husband and I live with our 7 and 4 yr old girls in a sidewalk lined Westborough neighborhood. In your reservation, please mention any behavioral patterns or phobias. (Does your dog take a while to do business outside? Does he or she squat several times? How long can he or she go without potty breaks? Do we have a runner?) Bring your pup, I'll bring the love and care! P.S. Please bring a crate for your dog if in the past, your dog has gotten into things and chewed. Many dog owners find themselves surprised that their dogs may exhibit destructive behavior at a sitter's house that they do not exhibit at home, like chewing and tearing things up. Your dog, in this case, will only be crated while we are out of the house. My husband works full-time, while I am home intermittently. But your baby will get lots of attention. During the weekdays, the house sits empty anywhere 3-5hrs. Your pet must be OK with that. I grew up with dogs: Scottish Terrier, Jack Russell Terrier, Rottweiler, Dachshunds, Chinese Crested, and Silky Terriers are the dogs my family members have owned and loved in my lifetime. I have no dogs of my own (anymore), but two little girls who just love and crave a dog in the house. If your dog is a no-no on little kids, this will not be a good fit for you.

About: My first dog was a 105-lb lab mix who had failed obedience school. I'm also a mom of 7 with the energy to match. Exuberant pets are welcome! Messes don't scare me! I can handle your dog, cat, or other furry friend. I'm home with my kids on a daily basis and rarely gone more than a 2-hour stretch. The days that I am unavailable are noted on my profile. I have lots of availability! I have a large, fenced-in yard. Our only pets are chickens, who can stay in their coop if necessary. Smoke-free home with plenty of people to give your pet attention and love!

“Sarah has been the perfect dog walker for our anxious girl Hazel, she really makes her feel safe and confident! Sarah has years of experience with all types of dogs and cats, and it really shows. She is professional and knowledgeable, and I wouldn’t trust my pets with anyone else.”

Erin D.Star Sitter
“If you are looking for someone to look after your fur babies who is loving, reliable, caring, loyal, and all the above.. Erin is absolutely your person. The love she has for animals is unmatched. Erin became my hero when she watched my dog for 3 months while I was away for work. The endless love and care she poured into my dog speaks volumes. She has 5 acres of land that her and her husband intentionally created a trail for her animals to run/walk around to burn off some energy. She has gates on her porch for them to be able to enjoy sun bathing and fresh air. I cannot recommend Erin enough. Your search for a fur baby step-parent ends here!”

I have found Mya to be very trustworthy. I very much appreciate Mya’s attention to detail and without even asking wiped down my dogs paws during an unexpected rain storm so they were not running through my house with wet feet. She is a sweetheart and reasonably priced, and I will definitely continue to use for services.”
