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.

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.

“Kira is reliable and fantastic with our dog Teddy.”

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.”

About: I have experience pet sitting for both dogs and cats. My responsibilities included feeding them, taking dogs on walks, cleaning litter boxes, and making sure they had fresh water. I also spent time playing with them and giving them attention so they felt comfortable while their owners were away. I'm reliable, gentle, and always make sure pets are safe and cared for. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate a wide range of pet sitting needs. Whether it's early morning visits, midday check-ins, or evening care, I'm able to adjust my availability, making it easier for pet owners to feel confident that their pets are in good hands no matter the situation. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, respectful, and trustworthy environment—for both the pet and the owner. I follow all instructions carefully, keep the space clean, and make sure doors, gates, and routines are handled exactly as requested. I give regular updates, including photos and messages, so the owner feels connected and reassured while away. I treat their home with care and their pets like family, building trust through reliability, communication, and genuine attention to detail.

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my deep sense of responsibility, patience, and genuine love for animals. I bring hands-on experience caring for both high-energy puppies and older dogs who require a gentler approach and extra attention. Whether it’s sticking to a consistent potty-training routine, handling medications, or just providing a calm and comforting presence, I tailor my care to meet each pet’s unique needs. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and loved while their owners are away, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m attentive, reliable, and make sure to communicate clearly with owners so they feel at ease every step of the way. Whether your pet needs extra playtime, slow walks, or a little bit of both, I’m here to give them the quality care and affection they deserve. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine, especially since I work a part-time job with a flexible schedule. It allows me to spend meaningful time with animals throughout the day while still being attentive and consistent with their needs. Caring for pets is not just something I enjoy—it brings balance to my day, keeps me active, and adds a sense of purpose. I love being able to provide companionship and care, whether it's morning walks, mid-day playtime, or relaxing evenings together. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s, I prioritize comfort, routine, and safety. I create a calm and loving environment where pets feel secure and cared for. I stick closely to their usual feeding, potty, and play schedules, and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. In a client’s home, I respect their space, follow detailed instructions, and make sure their pet feels relaxed in their familiar surroundings. Whether it’s walks, medication, or cuddle time, I tailor my care to meet each pet’s individual needs.
