About: Sure! Here’s a shorter version that still highlights your experience: I gained hands on experience caring for cats during my internship at the local animal shelter, where I learned about animal behavior, handling, and daily care. I’ve also cared for cats for friends, family, and neighbors by feeding them, cleaning litter boxes, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive to each cat’s needs.
“Jenna was amazing! Super responsive and kept me updated while she cared for my kitty! She’s a cat whisperer btw lol, my cat is normally very scared of new people but she happily greeted Jenna on the first visit. Definitely recommend to others!”
“Justin is fantastic, took really good care of my cat while I was away. She warmed up to him quickly and it was so great to know she was getting some love and attention each day.”
“Alma was wonderful with our cat Macho. She sent pictures and updates while we were gone. It was comforting to know our cat and house were well taken care of during our vacation. I would highly recommend Alma!”
About: Growing up with hamsters (RIP Squiggy 1-12) and wishing for larger more sociable pets, I was thrilled when my first kitty arrived in my life at 18! Thus began my love (a little obsessed tbh) with cats. Currently I have two 7 year old cats in my care, Ginny and Lily, who both hail from the woods of Central MA. I'm a regular cat sitter for friends who need someone to tend to their furry companions while away, with a total over 15 years of cat in the house experience!
“Sophia was the perfect sitter for my cat while I was away for vacation. She was very trustworthy and respectful of my home and my pet - 2 of the most important things in life! She has great experience and definitely cares and it shows. I would definitely recommend and/or book her again.”
“Samantha was very responsive and great at communicating! She was great with Cleo even though Cleo can be sassy! She respected Cleo’s boundaries but also gave her lots of attention. She followed rules exactly and put me at ease while I was away. I knew my cat was in good hands!”
“This was Marilyn’s first visit and I’m so pleased to be working with her. She was great with Miguel, and communicated just as I’d hope for with photos and notes. Marilyn inspired with her positive and helpful manner. Looking forward to her and Miguel getting to know each other better in future visits.”
“Alanna was wonderful! She spent time to actually interact with my cat instead of just filling his food bowl and leaving. She also noticed a hazard on one of his toys that had been broken and made sure it was kept out of his reach so that he wouldn't hurt himself. She was also good about updating me on his behavior as well as notifying me of packages arriving at our home. I am so grateful I found Alanna to watch my cat! Knowing she was watching him definitely made my trip away from home more worry free!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Annie B. did an exceptional job caring for my cats, Emperor and Empress. From the very beginning, she was attentive, reliable, and clearly committed to their well-being. What stood out the most was her flexibility and professionalism—she adjusted her schedule to accommodate additional days without hesitation and honored every commitment she made. That level of dependability is rare and truly appreciated. It gave me peace of mind knowing my cats were in good hands, and it’s clear she treated them with care and respect. I highly recommend Annie to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and dedicated. She absolutely deserves five stars.”
“Natalie is incredible as always! She not only took care of my own two cats but also my mother’s cat who was staying with me at the time. My mother’s cat is what I like to describe as a “grumpy old man” from anyone else he only accepts head scratches for a limited time but with Natalie he LOVES her!! I don’t know what it is but he was obsessed with her and my mother and I were shocked and so elated! We love seeing her updates on our cats and she does an amazing job as always!!”
“Natalie was kind, compassionate, and reliable as a pet sitter. She cared for our senior cat for 12 days and took great care of him. We got updates at every visit and she took care of special requests. It was easy to communicate with Natalie, and we would trust her to care for our family pets again in the future! Thank you so much Natalie. ♥️”
“Alayna was so gentle and patient with our girl when she was a nervous pup at the start of her visit. She is super responsive and communicative, and her experience with rescues shows. We definitely recommend her!”
“Ellen was amazing with our three kitties while we were away for 4 days. She was so thorough and communicative, sharing pics and a message every day time she visited. It was so nice to have peace of mind knowing that they were in great hands. Thank you so much, Ellen!”
“Lance went above and beyond to take care of my cats and helped me feel safe leaving my house for the holidays. He is very responsive and friendly and sends photos. It is such a good feeling knowing your pets are in good hands.”
“Dustin is wonderful. I often need to make last minute plans. Dustin always quickly responds to out request to let us know his availability. Our dog, Hank, is aging and Dustin takes such good care of him. I never need to worry as Dustin is 100% reliable. I highly recommend Dustin as he is the best of the best”
“Valerie was wonderful and was able to watch Willow during the day last minute for me. She sent photos and updates which I greatly appreciated and we’ll definitely use her again!”
“Very kind and communicative! Stayed with our pups in a hotel while we went to a family wedding. Felt very confident leaving our semi anxious dogs in her care. Highly recommend!”

“Great Doggy Daycare! Annie took wonderful care of my dog, Shiloh, during daycare. She was kind, professional, and kept great communication. Shiloh came home happy and relaxed, which tells me everything I need to know! I highly recommend Annie. Randy & Shiloh 🐾”
“I found Marcie on Rover and she responded quickly on such short notice. I contacted her on a Friday and she was able to accommodate our pit bull Jada the next day. Marcie was courteous enough to provide photos of Jada while at the dog park. Jada looked like she enjoyed her time with Marcie. We look forward to using Marcie again in the future.”
“Sunshine and Shannon are wonderful and were so kind to me and my pup! They send multiple updates throughout the day and are very understanding of your dogs needs. Thank you both for looking after Ollie!”
“Krystal and Doug provided a clean, home enviromant for our dogs. They treated our 2 dogs like their own. We brought 2 large~medium size dogs for them to watch. Our dogs sniffed around a little and fit right in shortly after they arrived. They walked our dogs and played with them a lot. From the picture they sent us, our dogs looked comfortable and relaxed. They got plenty of walking and play with their family and their pet Olive. I would not hesitate to send my dogs there again.”
About: I grew up with large dogs, rodents, and have owned many scaly friends. I befriend every stray cat I meet and I stop to help whenever I see a dog that's escaped their home and its safe to do so. I also used to ride horses when I lived in the country. Currently I take care of my thumbnail dart frogs and wish for more animal friends. I am currently unemployed but work on developing my own video game at home. When I am employed my jobs are exclusively remote. I like to go on an evening walk and sometimes I will be out of the house for a few hours at a time. Occasionally I might be out for the night but its generally about once a week or less. My home has a fenced yard, an atrium, 3 bedrooms and 2 living spaces. I also have an alarm system that is armed at night. I am happy to let dogs out in the yard and take them on walks. At my clients home I am happy to sit with your pets to keep them company and read a comic book, draw on my tablet, or play a game on my Switch.
“We did a trial daycare visit to prepare for a longer stay in a month. Everything went so well! Great communication and several updates were sent throughout the day of them playing and resting! I feel much more comfortable leaving them at a new place for their longer stay after this visit. Thanks Achara for your care with the pups and I can already tell they are looking forward to going back!”
“Tresa is a lifesaver! Our two dogs love going over there. She is very flexible, a great communicator, and easy to work with. Sooo glad we found her for our deaf puppy and lab.”
About: I've owned pets my whole life and spent my childhood living on a ranch with just about every farm animal you can name. Now, as an adult living a more suburban lifestyle, I'm happy to provide loving care for your dog and/or cat in a home-based, high attention environment. As a dog mom myself, I know how difficult it is to trust a stranger with your fur child and the importance of continuing the love and care your pet receives at home. I'm available for boarding on Friday, Saturday, and Sundays. My husband and I work mostly remote, so your fur baby will receive plenty of attention and companionship from both ourselves and our mini dachshund, Charlie! We have a small fenced-in backyard with concrete and turf for potty breaks. Overnight fur guests will have both indoor and outdoor access and can be crated in the downstairs living room during nighttime sleep hours. Blankets, toys, and preferred treats are welcome to help provide your pet with a sense of home.
“I cannot say enough amazing things about Deborah. My puppy HATES leaving her house and always comes home and falls right asleep, which is a sign that she has had the time of her life. Deborah is quick to respond, super flexible, takes lots of pictures/videos, and is extremely reliable. She’s become my puppy’s regular sitter. You won’t go wrong with having her watch your fur baby!”
“Reginay has been SOOO unbelievably accommodating with my crazy schedule; she lets me work out unusual drop off/pick up times, lets me schedule last minute whenever I need it (when she’s open), and is just incredibly communicative. My dog, Penny, just loves her. She recognizes Reginay’s place when we pull up and is physically and audibly thrilled to see her every time!”
“Brandee provided fantastic care for our beagle. She is a good communicator and is super easy going. She sent photos of her daughter snuggling our dog, which sealed the deal. We’ll be back!”
“April and her family were so good to Penny! She sent pictures and kept me updated, so I could relax knowing Penny was being given so much love and attention! I will absolutely use April again!!”

“Hats off to Alayna for for her skill and dedication. She has her own dog and was caring for another (in a crate & very vocal !) And my fur baby has been a work in progress to accept strangers and other dogs. But from all indications, my dog was separated from them, remained calm and simply followed her around. When I later messaged her, she alleviated any concerns with photo/comment. In the end he was in a wonderful state for the ride home!”

About: I’ve always loved animals and spent the past year interning at Front Street Animal Shelter, where I gained hands on experience caring for dogs and learning more about animal behavior, safety, and daily care routines. During my internship, I worked with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, which helped me become patient, attentive, and comfortable handling pets with different needs. I’m passionate about providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I have an extremely flexible schedule. This allows me to be available from mornings through late afternoons on most days, making it easy for me to provide consistent, reliable care for pets. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment for every pet in my care. I always follow the owner's instructions closely and make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and secure at all times. My experience at an animal shelter has taught me how to read animal behavior, respond calmly in different situations, and create a low-stress environment for pets of all personalities. I treat every pet as if they were my own and aim to build trust with both pets and their owners through reliable, attentive care.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a teenager. I now have a rescue dog that is 111lbs, & at 6 years old still thinks he’s a puppy. So I can handle a lot of dog sizes, weights & personalities. Here for walks or check ins & feeding if you’re out of town or need help. Message me! 🐕🦮🐕🦺 I am available for afternoon and evening walks, check ins, feeding and play time. I am also available on weekends and Fridays after 12pm. Just let me know what works for you! I have a large dog at home that is a lot to handle so boarding in my home would be difficult. I am trustworthy and caring so you can trust your furry family member in my care.
“Krystal was absolutely wonderful with Max! She walked him mornings and evenings while I was away and sent great updates. Max is a sweet boy, but it always takes a special person to make him feel completely comfortable, and Krystal did just that. She is reliable, caring, and super easy to communicate with. I will definitely be booking her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!”
“Sophia was very sweet and kind. I appreciate her being on time and giving me an update on how their walk went. Boomer came back very tired, mission accomplished! Thank you Sophia. Looking forward to seeing you again”
