Pet Sitting in Upton

“Sue was absolutely incredible with my two older cats, including medication administration and messy litter box users! She sent daily check ins with photos and thorough reports, and even went out of her way to bring a special toy to give them some exercise and attention during our 11 day trip. She left the place probably cleaner than we left it, and really treated the home and the cats like her own. I cannot recommend her enough! Thanks Sue!”

“Shannon was super understanding of our cats stress from us being away and helped to ensure she felt as comfortable as possible while taking care of her needs. Thank you for the gift and letter Gracie’s loves the new toy!”

“Chelsea was so awesome! We were so happy she was able to fit us in on a busy holiday weekend. She was very communicative and kept us updated about how everything went during her visit. It was clear the cats loved her after seeing the photos she sent; even our very timid cat who hides from other people. We could tell she takes the job seriously and is experienced with pets. Will definitely be booking her again!”

About: I am a current Animal Science student studying to be a Vet tech or Vet assistant. I have past employments at a doggy daycare, and have internship at a Veterinary practice. I grew up with 2 dogs, one of which was very aggressive, and one which is a sweet heart which I have now. I love to ride horses in my free time :). Im a student, but when Im not studying I can care for your pup! I am an animal science student as well, so I will be learning more about the little furry friends! In my home, my dog is well trained, so whatever he wants he tells us, and we decide whether it’s a want or a need of his!

“Haley was amazing with our Golden puppy! She followed all instructions and kept our pup entertained while we were out on errands/chores. Haley was really communicative and left great notes. I would highly recommend her to anyone!”

“Pia came to the rescue when we unexpectedly needed a sitter for the following day. Pia responded quickly to our request. She maintained communication throughout her days caring for our cat. We looked forward to her regular updates letting us know how our cat was doing. She put us at ease while we were away from our furbaby.”

“Marcella did a great job with my two cats - one is easy, but my Cole can be a handful. She was patient with him and I think she actually won him over! She brought string and played with him to earn his trust. Thank you Marcella - great job!”

“Anna did a great job taking care of Loki for us! She catered very well to his needs and we are excited to have her watch him again in the future!”

“Sarah was awesome with Rufus! Very professional always on time and made sure to check in to keep me updated on my favorite pup. I think Rufus loves her more than myself! Will definitely love to use her again and would highly recommend you do as well! Thanks Sarah”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have always loved caring for them. Whether it’s going for long walks, playing outside, or just spending quality time together, I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and making sure they’re happy and well cared for. I understand how important it is to keep pets active, loved, and safe, and I treat every dog like they’re part of the family. As a teacher currently on summer break, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. My days are open, so I’m available for walks, drop-ins, or extended stays throughout the week. I love having the opportunity to spend my break doing something I enjoy—being active, outdoors, and taking care of pets. It’s the perfect way to combine my love for animals with my free time during the summer months. When school starts, I’m available after 3pm. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and fun environment. I have a fenced yard where dogs can run and play freely under supervision, which gives them a great outlet for exercise and fresh air. Inside, pets have plenty of space to relax and feel at home. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, whether that means regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or cuddles. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and routines, making sure their pets feel secure and cared for while maintaining consistency in their daily lives.

“Miles was attentive and dependable, and my somewhat standoffish cats warmed up to him after a day. It was great to get daily photos and see how they were doing.”

About: I’ve had my family dog, a vizsla for 9 years, in a house that fostered and helped other dogs. As his primary human, I have a lot of experience with high energy, big, clumsy, and loving dogs. Long playtimes, hikes in Ashland, Whitehall, Hopkinton and cozy naps are the norm for me, and guaranteed for your furry friend. When I am not in college, my life revolves around my pets. The same would be true for any furry guests. After waking up, I feed the dogs, and then take them out for morning sunbathing and bathroom break. At 11, it’s time for morning exercise. At 1, when playtime ends (although sometimes my dog gets tired early!) it’s time for afternoon nap. 4pm is a second play or walk. At 6pm it’s time for dinner, and then evening enrichment. Finally, bedtime for pets is 9 or 10pm My home has a large yard with 2acres of forested land and a creek. It is not fenced however. I watch any animals in my care when they go outside at all times, in case of any accident. There are lots of beds and couches for rest, and although my dog is not crate trained, I am familiar with the practice, and can crate dogs if need be. Pets are family, so I try and keep an eye on them as much as possible. Cleaning products are pet friendly, and doors to cupboards are locked.

About: With over 20 years of experience caring for a wide variety of dog breeds both personally and professionally. I bring deep knowledge, patience, and heartfelt dedication to every pup I meet. My love for dogs runs deep, and I always strive to make each one feel safe, loved, and truly at home. Whether it's energetic playtime, long walks, or cozy cuddle sessions, I tailor my care to each dog’s unique needs and personality. Your furry family member will be treated like one of my own with compassion, consistency, and lots of belly rubs! Providing the best care possible isn’t just my job, it’s my passion and my priority. I currently work from home, which allows me to give dogs plenty of time, attention, and care throughout the day. I’m also supported by my two mature and responsible children, who have hands-on experience with dog-sitting, walking, and even cat care. They fully understand the responsibilities that come with caring for animals and love being involved. With our home full of warmth and care, your pet will feel like part of the family. We live in a wonderful, dog-friendly neighborhood that’s known as one of the safest in Massachusetts. Our area is peaceful, welcoming, and perfect for regular walks, with nearby dog parks and friendly neighbors. I have all the necessary dog-walking supplies on hand, and as an active, athletic family, we love spending time outdoors. Your dog will enjoy plenty of fresh air, exercise, and outdoor play always in a safe and stimulating environment.

“Mariann did a great job communicating with us and being flexible about scheduling. She gave my elderly cat her pill twice daily and kept us in the loop. I felt very comfortable leaving Missy in her capable hands!”

About: I have taken care of family pets for my entire life. I grew up with a large golden doodle, and have another currently who is 3 years old! Since all of my family members work full time, I am often trusted to walk, feed, and bathe our dog. I helped care for my senior dog in every aspect such as medications, vet trips, and exercise. I do not have professional experience caring for other dogs, but my lifetime of experience with my own pets has me well prepared! With a flexible schedule and a passion for animals, I make time daily for walks, check-ins, and quality time with the pets I care for. I am very experienced taking care of and walking dogs. I’m very flexible and will be able to follow any instructions or routines your pup usually has to make sure they’re healthy and happy!

About: I've been trusted with the care of many precious pets for years now...And enjoy it very much...I am fun, caring, and engaging, as well as all ble's, reliable, dependable, and responsible! And I took a CPR pet course, and human one as well. I have had cats mostly all my life, and now own a small dog of my own, who could, or doesn't have to if need be, come with me, as some love to have a playmate for their pet...And I know my friendly little guy very much enjoys the visit. But with anyone coming to my home, my guy will be there too, and they must all be friendly. Which brings me to, I can watch any animal, esp in the animals home and of any size...It is my home that I would only be able to take in a small or medium sized dog, cat, or caged pet. And my home, that I live in with just my little guy, is pretty open and spacious for dogs to move around, and I have fenced in my backyard just off the back door porch for even more run around fun. And now onto my prices, I had to do additions a certian way on here...As to plus a cat if I'm also coming to care for your dog...But I can always modify and give a discount if say you have many plus one cats in your home so it doesn't keep plus one'ing a fee. I can often work staying elsewhere into my routine, even if many miles away...Pop ins as well can be worked in more easily than not...Esp when it's on the way to work or right near work...And my work schedule often varies and can be shifted if need be...Except for weekends, I work set weekend evening hours until summer, and then have them completely off. I put a certain radius...But I have stayed in homes miles and miles away, out of state even, just ask if it's doable, it very well may be! But for pop ins and walks, I would prefer to travel within 10 miles or so from my home only. So I did just update this for a 45 miles out, but obviously I cannot be doing a pop in or daily walk so far away. I care for pets in my home or their home the same way I care for my pet in his home...With the added, well, additions that your pet may need.
