“Melissa did a great job taking care of yummy! We had a two-week extended stay. She shared photo updates regularly and flags issues proactively. Would recommend to anyone.”
“We boarded our dog for the second time for over a week with Vignesh and are extremely satisfied with his care and updates. He’s also very accommodating with our dates and pick up and drop off times.”
“Our 10 month old golden retriever had a great time staying with Dina. She was able to accommodate us last minute. She was wonderful with him! Her communication was much appreciated during our time away. We will 100% be using Dina in the near future.”
“I left my Pug with Gabrielle on a Sunday to Tuesday. Gabrielle was very conscientious, answered all questions, listened well and was very nice to both Wilbur and me. He obviously has a nice way with dogs and sent photos and video of Wilbur at random times. Wilbur was well taken care of, walked dependably, and was happy with Gabrielle and co. I highly recommend Gabrielle and look forward to seeing him again!”
“Svetlana was really great with my 4year old cockerpoo. She was responsive to my inquiry, met up with us for a meet & greet, and seemed to really enjoy hosting my pooch. We’re all in for our next visit ! 🐾🐾”
“We had a great experience with Dawn and her family! Dawn was very easy going about our schedule and attentive, providing updates and pictures throughout our vacation. We will absolutely be reaching out for future trips!”
“Melissa was great ! My two Golden Retrievers had such a great time and loved being around the kids. They came home calm, happy, and clearly well cared for. It’s such a relief knowing they were in great hands. I would absolutely book with her again!”
“I couldn’t be more pleased with the care my dog received while I was away! Lingwen was absolutely wonderful. From the moment I met her, I felt completely at ease leaving my furry friend in their hands. She was so professional, friendly, and attentive, taking the time to learn my dog’s routine and preferences. During the time I was away, Lingwen kept me updated with regular photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in great hands. My dog was happy, healthy, and relaxed when I returned. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter for their pets!”
“Very grateful for Jen and her family for being able to accommodate and take care of my Oreo with very short notice! Jen was very responsive and provided daily updates with pics of how Oreo was doing the entire time I was away. I can tell he was loved and well taken cared of by Jen and her kids! Also love the fact that her property has a huge fenced-in backyard which provided a safe space for Oreo to run around in! I highly recommend Jen and would absolutely entrust Oreo with her and her family again in the future!”
“Bridget was fabulous. Blue had some digestive issues. We communicated with Bridget ahead of time and she was extremely supportive and helpful. She administered new food and medicine while Blue was there. She is an absolute pro and awesome to work with!”
“Liliya and her family did a wonderful job boarding our dog Turk. He absolutely loves her and her family and we could rest easy on vacation knowing he was well cared for. Would highly recommend!”
“This was Mia's first time staying at someone's house other then Family. Kira was great and sent pictures of mia. Mia had a great time and will definitely book again!”
“Scarlett had the best vacation ever! She received so much love and attention while we were away. My husband and I received daily pictures and knew she was getting the best care in a loving home. We’ll definitely bring her back the next time we’re away.”
“My dog (pitbull) stayed there for the weekend and I can tell he had a blast time! Thank you for the pictures, updates, and everything! Highly recommend!! More than 5 stars”
“Jennifer took such good care of Archie and his special medical needs. He did not seem stressed at all. She sent me updates multiple times daily. I would highly recommend her.”
“Nancy took amazing care of our dogs for almost 2 weeks while we were away in Europe. She communicated to us daily with photos to match her captions, letting us know they were doing well (they are old and not in the best of health). We were so grateful she could take them a month before we were to leave (we had a family emergency so needed a back up plan) especially during the holiday season! She was so thoughtful to help us out and go to the store when we neglected to pack their doggie treats. We highly recommend Nancy - she treated our dogs as if they were her own! ❤️”
“Elaine is very caring and accommodating. She responds quickly to communication and sent us updates every day. Our dog transitioned well coming home and that’s a good indication that he was well cared for while we were away. We will definitely consider Elaine as a sitter again.”
About: I have a 5-year-old border collie. He’s very friendly and loves to play with other dogs. I live in a town house so I don’t have a yard per say. I typically take my dog to parks/fields in Ashland to hike or run around. I typically walk my border collie about 4 miles a day as well. I work remote so I am usually home. Available 7 days a week. I usually go to the gym for a few hours each day but try to be home for my dog to keep him active as a herding dog (border collie) I will do 2 long walks per day typically (2 miles each). I will also take my dog and yours hiking or to a field/park but not a dog park. I can go to a fenced in field if needed for your dog. Mine doesn’t need a fence.
“Erin took great care of our dog and was quick with communication. Receiving daily photos was so helpful. Erin also took the extra step to help our dog when something came up during his stay, we appreciate the care and attention. Thank you, Erin!”

“Kayla did a great job watching our cats! Our girl cat loves her (probably due to churu bribery). Kayla also keeps tabs on our super shy boy cat even when he hides under our bed.”
“We felt so at ease knowing our fur babies were being cared for by Lauren! She took fantastic care of them, followed our care instructions perfectly and provided detailed updates! We would love to use her services again in the future. Thank you, Lauren!”

I knew she was a cat whisperer when she sent sweet pictures of my shy kitty on her very first visit to my home. Even during a holiday weekend, Jada was prompt and attentive. I will definitely be booking with Jada for my next vacation. ❤️”
“Haley did an excellent job in caring for our two cats. We were able to enjoy our time away knowing we would receive cute pictures and thorough updates (especially helpful for our older cat who has a somewhat complex medication). We appreciated her care during the stressful holiday season and highly recommend her!”
“Zoe was such a wonderful sitter for my fur babies and the photos were absolutely adorable and funny. I know they enjoyed spending time with her. I will definitely be booking her again. She made sure everything was clean and fresh before she left at let me know if there was any issues that needed to be taken care of.”
About: Current vet student and lifelong animal lover. I have been caring for animals for many years including years of pet sitting and years as a veterinary technician. I’ve worked with everything from pocket pets to cattle! I can’t wait to work with you and your fur baby! I go to school full time, so pet sitting and dog walking is something I do on the side, so I can spend more time with animals! If possible I like to meet dogs for the first time with their owner around to lower their stress and slightly away from their home if possible (particularly if they are known to be protective of their homes).
“Nicole was great and my cat loved her! She kept me up to date with lots of pictures and texts during her visits which was awesome. It made leaving my cat at home a little easier knowing Nicole was checking in on her and giving her lots of love.”
“Laura took great care of our cat while we were on vacation for ten days. She kept in regular contact with us, and our cat was in good spirits when we got home. We would definitely hire Laura again!”
“Marcella did an awesome job with Cole and Taylor - just like her previous visits. I appreciate knowing she is taking care of them, and I know Cole and Taylor appreciate her as well! Thank you Marcella!”
“Eko and Sarah were amazing! We have very shy kitties and by the end of two weeks they had the kitties eating out of their hands and totally comfortable. Eko and Sarah were communicative and gave great updates on the cats while we were away. We will absolutely trust our kitties with them again the next time we go away!”
About: I have lived a total of 3 days my entire life without a cat - and those were when I was born/in the hospital. There was a cat IN my crib when I was brought home from the hospital! I grew up with cats, volunteered at the SPCA as a kid, and have shared my home with cats ever since. I truly believe earning the affection—or even just the tolerance—of a cat is one of life’s greatest compliments! Whether your cat is outgoing, shy, or prefers pretending I don’t exist until day three, I’ll let them set the pace. Every cat is different, and I want them to feel safe, respected, and comfortable while you’re away. Need someone to give medication, injections, monitor eating, drinking, litter box habits, or simply provide food, playtime, and companionship? I’m happy to help. I have experience caring for senior cats and cats with medical needs, and I’m comfortable following detailed care plans to keep your cat’s routine as normal as possible. I also lived with veterinarians for 15 years, where I learned to recognize behavioral and health changes that shouldn’t be ignored, along with countless practical tips for keeping pets safe and comfortable. While I’m not a veterinarian, I know when something deserves a call to you or your vet. I know how much trust it takes to leave someone else with your cat. My goal is simple: to care for them with the same patience, kindness, and attention I’d want for my own.
“Holly ended up being the perfect match to care for my cat while I was away for the weekend! Communication was great and she is the only person I know that my cat immediately warmed up to! He tends to be shy and it usually takes him some time to get comfortable with new people but he seemed to enjoy her company from the first time she walked in the door! I highly recommend Holly and absolutely plan on using her services anytime I plan to be away! I can tell she cared for my fur baby just as much as she cares for her own which helps relieve the anxiety of leaving him with someone new!”
“Jessie took care of our precious boys during a long weekend we were out of town. She was fantastic. She was incredibly responsive and kept us posted on everything they were doing. Gave us great piece of mind that the cats were thriving and making a new friend while we were away!”
About: Cats have been an essential part of my life since I was 10 years old. Over the years, I’ve shared my home with purebred beauties as well as resilient rescues taken directly from the streets, learning to appreciate every feline personality. I read their body language naturally, respect their boundaries, and always let them set the pace so they feel completely safe and relaxed in their own space. Having lovingly nursed two of my own cats through cancer at different times, I bring deep patience and steady confidence to specialized care. I am completely comfortable administering medications, maintaining strict dietary routines, and keeping litter boxes spotless to minimize any stress. I adore every cat I meet and would love to provide your feline companion with gentle, attentive care and daily photo updates while you're away!
“I had never used a service like this before and was concerned about giving access to my home to someone I didn’t know, but it turned out great. When I met Paulina, I felt comfortable with her immediately. She did a fabulous job. She followed the instructions I left her perfectly and communicated with me daily about my cat was doing. I will definitely book her again.”
“Tori was able to squeeze in my very short notice appointment, she followed every instruction provided and most importantly used the 30ft leash provided so my dog could go to his favorite place to run laps! Couldn’t be happier and would recommend her to anyone looking for reliability! I will be using her again!”
“Jen is a caring petsitter. She spend time with our kitties and observe their behavior. She is able to give us clear feedback. We appreciate her care and attention. We definitely will ask her in the future to take care of our cats.”

“Paola and Margav are amazing and took incredible care of Ninja. Having an older dog who is used to routine and being in his own home, I worry about Ninja when I have to go away for work. Paola and Margav take those worries away with their attentive care, communication, and plenty of photo and video updates throughout the day. I highly recommend them!”
“Here’s a warm, genuine 5-star review you could leave: We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Lingwen! She took exceptional care of Max and treated him like he was part of her own family. Throughout his stay, she kept us updated with plenty of photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear from every update that she genuinely cared about his happiness, comfort, and well-being. Max came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. We truly appreciated her kindness, attention to detail, and the personal touch she brought to every aspect of his care. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and dedicated to caring for their pet. Thank you so much, Lingwen! 🐾❤️”
“Meli took such great care of my fur baby! From the moment I was in touch with Meli, I felt safe and excited about the opportunity to have Ollie spend the day with her and her pup Nina. She was warm and assuring, and very quick to respond to messages! When I met Meli in person to drop Ollie off, I was happy to find such a friendly and kind person in real life, too! She sent me photos and updates throughout the 6 hours that Ollie was with her for “day care” (without me even needing to ask!) and I could tell he was having fun and being taken care of so well! I would absolutely recommend Meli and would love to have Ollie stay with her again if we need a sitter in Bloomington. Thanks Meli! ?”
About: In my house or yours! What sets me apart is that I offer truly personalized, low-volume care in a calm home environment. Mine or yours. I only take one or two guest dogs at a time, so your dog gets lots of individual attention, affection, and supervision — not the chaos of a large kennel or crowded daycare setting. I’ve cared for six dogs of my own throughout my life and loved every one of them through all stages of life, including senior years and end-of-life care. I understand how important routines, patience, comfort, and trust are when caring for someone’s beloved pet. I love all dogs, but my home is especially well-suited for: • Dogs who prefer a quieter environment • Dogs needing medication or special routines • Dogs who don’t do well in large group settings • Dogs who are not friendly with other dogs* • Owners looking for flexible pickup/drop-off times Your dog will enjoy a fully fenced backyard, one daily leash walk, personalized feeding and medication schedules, and lots of companionship throughout the day. Plus flexible pick up and drop-off times. My goal is simple: I want your dog to feel safe, relaxed, loved, and at home while you’re away. I am willing to take 3 dogs, but only if they all come from the same home. *If you require your dog to be the ONLY dog in the household, please reach out to me before booking. I work primarily from home, so dogs in my care receive lots of companionship, supervision, outdoor time, and attention throughout the day — not long periods left alone. In my home, dogs are treated like part of the family with plenty of supervision, companionship, outdoor time, a daily walk, and personalized feeding or medication schedules. I only care for one or two dogs at a time to maintain a calm, low-stress environment. In a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away.
“I think our puppy Lucy officially found her second home with Dawn and her family! Knowing we needed a sitter before even bringing our puppy home, I turned to Rover and found Dawn—and I’m so glad I did. She went above and beyond from the start, even coming over with her kids to meet Lucy beforehand. She’s truly salt of the earth, and I immediately felt at ease the moment I met her. As first-time dog parents, we had plenty of questions and requests, and Dawn was so accommodating, evening keeping us updated with the sweetest photos. I loved that on our first daycare service Lucy got to socialize with her kids and even play with another dog while she was there. On top of that, my husband has a difficult work schedule, and Dawn was incredibly flexible, which made everything so much easier. Watching a hyper puppy is no small task, but Dawn handled it with such care and patience. We are so grateful to have Dawn and her family in out circle!”

I have 2 friendly pups, but also have baby gates, and seperate levels in my house to keep dogs separated if needed.

About: I have had a dog in my home since I was 11 years old. I have had small dogs and large dogs alike, mostly full of energy. I have dog sat in the past in home but prefer to do it at my own as I have my own dog. We love to go on forest hikes with our black lab, Pickle, and keep her tired and happy. I currently work from home and have a dog of my own that I play with throughout the day. She is rarely alone and gets taken out whenever she requests. I have a black lab of my own that is my baby. She sleeps on the furniture and has her own queen sized bed. We have two bags of toys and we are constantly playing fetch on our third of an acre yard.
“Vignesh has been amazing at watching our dog Wolfie. The walks, adventures, and activities he does with Wolfie are perfect ways to make him happy while we’re at work all day and a HUGE improvement from him staying home alone. We are so happy we found Vignesh and Peaches!”
“Elaine has a knack for putting our somewhat anxious Ipo at ease. She can sense Elaine is a patient, serious dog lover with years of experience caring for many clients as well as her own Brady. Elaine’s flexible, very easy to work with. We’re booking a 2wks boarding , first time away in years! Highly recommend”
“Karma had a great day with Jacqueline and her daughter. They sent a picture and update halfway through the day which was nice as this was the first time I had left Karma with people I did not know. I texted on my way to pick her up and they had her ready to gomwhen I got there.”
About: I grew up in a home where we always had many animals. Because of that, caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life, and I’ve spent many years helping take care of pets at home and for family and friends. I currently have a cat named Floyd, who I recently adopted. He is very affectionate, loving, gentle, and gets along very well with other animals. I currently work from home full-time during the weekdays, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability Monday through Friday. Being home throughout the day allows me to give pets consistent attention, care, companionship, and supervision. I enjoy incorporating pet care into my daily routine and making sure animals feel comfortable, active, and well cared for while their owners are away. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Although my home does not have a fenced yard, I always take pets outside on a leash and stay with them while they enjoy time outdoors. I also enjoy taking dogs on walks and giving them plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day.
“Mipha was only there for daycare but she seemed to settle well during and after the stay :). I'll definitely consider Andreana again for daycare or overnight. She is very quick in communication which I really appreciate.”
“Marlowe loves going to Melissa’s for daycare. He gets socialized with other dogs and plays outside. Melissa is always flexible and understanding if I’m running behind a little.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats in my house since I was born and I’ve always been a part of walking, feeding, bathing, playing with, and giving meds to them. I have taken care of my dog who is elderly, has worn diapers and has experienced surgery and anesthetics. I really enjoy being around animals of all kinds! I only work about 1-3 hourly per day! I’m always around to hang out and play with pets. I always will have someone around the pets so they’ll never be alone. I know a lot of the behavioral signs of discomfort in animals, I always want the pets I’m working with to enjoy their time. I will always make sure a pet is in a safe and fitting environment for their needs. I have worked with pets who are sick, directly after surgery, and who need medication administered
“I would recommend Amy & Thomas to anyone with working/guardian breeds, they are with your dogs all day and on top of everything. Dogs get access to potty breaks instantly, and get the mental enrichment they need. They are extremely welcoming, kind, and informative on how they care for your dog. I have a Doberman and if you know Dobermans, they’re a sensitive and strong breed, and very intelligent. They earned my Dobermans trust fast, and she listened for them while under their supervision. They’re educated on dog training and can handle any dog you have, very loving family to have around your pets. 11/10 care! I would book them for every occasion! :)”
“We connected with Bridget for some last-minute day care services. She was very responsive and accommodating. After our initial meet-and-greet, our dog made herself right at home when we dropped her off for her first day at daycare. We felt comfortable and at ease leaving our dog in Bridget's care along with her dogs Mac and Zuzu (who are both very sweet!). She also sent us pictures and updates while we were away, which we very much appreciated. We highly recommend!”
About: I have always had a love and passion for animals. I have grown up with dogs, cats, chickens, even a pet turtle. Each animal brought me so much happiness and I considered my pets as family members. Growing up, I have cared for friends, neighbors, and family members pets. Animals made me who I am today! I have an open schedule as I am currently in between jobs. While on my job search, I want to spend my time around pets giving them love and care. I know the value of being a trustworthy, attentive, and reliable sitter. I have a clean spacious home, a yard, and I currently don’t own any pets of my own. Your pet will be treated like family here receiving lots of affection so they feel at home while you’re away.
“Dwi was so caring with Isadora, my pups just moved to the city and was very scared initially. Dwi did a great job comforting her, as well as me by sending me regular updates during the day! Def booking her regularly!”
About: I grew up taking care of dogs since high school! Friends have always called me the dog whisperer. Extremely patient with dogs and worked at a dog salon as a dog bather for 4 years. I do currently have a dog of my own, Bob, a Brussels Griffon. My partner, Dylan, and I work at home 4/5 days. We stagger our days so that someone is always home with the dogs and are never left at home alone. We both work together to make sure my dog and yours are interacting well with each other and are having a good time! We are happy to accommodate any dogs that need extra TLC during the work week from 8/8:30AM to 5:30PM. We are unable to do pick ups later than 5:30PM at this time. Your dog will be able to join us on our morning and midday walk! We only take one dog at a time to provide the highest quality care. I have an unfenced yard, but will always take your dog out leashed. Your dog will be a part of our family during the stay and is allowed on all furniture.
“Melissa and her family took very good care of my pups when I needed last minute help. I was very grateful for their kindness and quick communication throughout the day. Will definitely use again when needed. Thank you!!”

“Tori has been walking our 2 dogs, Apollo & Mia, for a few weeks now. She communicates well & is very accommodating. She takes great care of our pups and I know they enjoy their weekly walks with her. Would definitely recommend Tori for any dog sitting/walking needs!”

“Logan has been absolutely amazing with my dog, Milo! His communication is excellent — he always keeps me updated with messages and photos from their walks, which gives me peace of mind. He’s incredibly responsible and caring, and it’s clear that he truly loves spending time with the dogs he walks. Milo is always excited to see him.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since before middle school. Everyday after school growing up I’d take care of our foster animal, giving them attention, feeding/water, CLEANING (so much!), administering medication like pills or injections like insulin are things I am more than comfortable with. I’ve worked at a doggy daycare and kennel so I am experienced with working with various dog breeds and understand the needs of every dog is different, but nonetheless must be met! I am currently available at anytime during any day of the week! My schedule does not interfere with the needs of your pet and I can accommodate to you. I treat clients home as if it were my own. Leaving it as it was, caring for the pet and keeping the environment clean and homey!
About: I've had dogs and cats my whole life and I am a huge animal person. I've taken care of dogs of all different sizes and breeds. I love getting to know new pets and their unique personalities! I work during the evenings from 2:45-11pm so I have time during the mornings and afternoons. My days off are Friday and Saturday so I have more availability then. I can walk your dog, play fetch, take them to the dog park or anything your dog loves to do. I take my dogs walking or hiking on a daily basis, and they love to swim.
About: Hi there! I’ve been around animals my whole life, and caring for them has always been second nature to me. From growing up with pets to helping out friends and family with their dogs and cats, I’ve gained years of hands-on experience giving pets the love, care, and attention they deserve. I’ve also volunteered at dog daycares and animal shelters, where I learned how to handle pets of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply making sure your pet feels safe and happy while you’re away, I treat every animal like my own. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I’m dedicated to making sure your pet feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for. I am currently working part time during the week but they are not long shifts so I will have a flexible schedule to be able to watch your pets. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. On walks, I make sure leashes are secure and choose safe routes that fit your dog’s pace and energy level. During drop in visits, I’ll refresh food and water, give plenty of love and attention, and ensure everything is safe and secure before I leave.
About: Every animal brings pure joy into my life, and I genuinely adore caring for all pets—from energetic wanderers to quiet, gentle souls who take a little time to warm up. I meet every pet exactly where they are, learning their unique language, respecting their boundaries, and making sure their days are full of comfort, safety, and genuine love. Living with my own three-legged dog and having nursed my sweet cats through cancer, I bring deep patience and calm confidence to medical routines, medication schedules, and unique physical needs. Whether your companion needs a brisk walk, a gentle ear scratch, or thoughtful care with their daily treatments, I’d love to connect and give your furry family member the dedicated attention they deserve! I have an open, flexible schedule dedicated to pet care from Sunday to Thursday (all day and evening). Whether your pet needs an early-morning walk, mid-day playtime, or evening drop-in visits and medications, I can easily match their exact routine. When caring for pets in your home, my priority is keeping their environment familiar, safe, and stress-free. I strictly follow your established routine—from exact feeding and medication times to favorite walking routes and play habits—so your pet feels secure and comfortable in their own space. During every visit or house-sitting stay, I provide attentive companionship, clean food and water bowls, and handle any necessary light tidy-up around pet areas. You will always receive detailed updates with photos after each visit, giving you complete peace of mind that your home is secure and your pet is happy, loved, and well cared for.
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: I have spent many years, cat and dog sitting for friends and family, and I am looking to start reaching out to others in the community. In addition to owning a pet of my own, I am a veterinary student and veterinary nurse. I have experience with dogs, cats, and other pets. I also have experience volunteering at an animal shelter where I would socialize with cats and walk dogs. With my job I am first aid, CPR certified, as well as fear free and cat friendly certified. This approach helps animals have stress-free experiences. I am comfortable with pets of all ages: puppies/kittens, elder pets etc. I am also comfortable medicating and understanding dietary needs Pet care fits into my daily or weekly routine by finding time to walk/take care prior to my classes at school, during lunch, after school, or on my days off. In addition to walking, socializing and enrichment time are important as well. I am a student so my hours and availability may fluctuate on a weekly basis. When able, I plan to dog sit or cat sit as needed. This can include feeding, walking, entertaining, and overall watching pets as needed in the comfort of their own home. I am a student so my availability may fluctuate.
About: I have been around animals ever since I was born, and started my first job petsitting in only 6th grade. I have worked with a variety of animals ranging from dogs and cats, to ducks, to chinchillas, to horses! I’ve always felt like I have a strong connection with animals, and see my own animals as children. This is why I want to help others take care of their fur babies knowing that they are in safe kind hands while they are away. It is my number one priority to make sure your animal is happy, safe, and comfortable in your absence. Every animal has its own personality, and I’ve loved bonding with so many animals over the years. Animal experience: -dog -cat -horse -goat -chicken -duck -bunny -hamster -Guinea pig -chinchilla -turtle -hermit crab -fish Pet sitting is my full time job, so I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the day for walks, drop in visits, and overnight care. I do have a few weekly dog walking clients that typically keep me busy from around 10 AM to 2 PM, but outside of those visits I am generally very flexible and can work around your schedule. I am also happy to accommodate same day bookings whenever possible! I firmly believe that a consistent routine for an animal is key to keeping them comfortable, especially if you are to leave. I would follow the owners daily routine to help keep your animals calmer. If they are crate trained I can put them in their crate, watch them in the yard, take them on walks, play with them, and cuddle at the end of the day. I strongly believe in the saying “leave it better than you found it”, which I intend to do in your home!
About: *Good with large and small dogs. *Good with cats. *Good with high energy dogs. Will walk long distances. *Good with senior dogs. *Good with medication administration. I’ve had the privilege of pet sitting for friends during vacations, pregnancies, and even chemo appointments. Over time, their dogs have developed a special trust in me, giving their owners peace of mind whenever they’re away. I love keeping families connected, so I always send photos and updates to show how their pets are doing. I truly enjoy walking dogs —it’s one of my favorite parts of pet care. If your pup needs exercise, I’m more than happy to help make sure they’re happily tired and content by the time you get home. These days, I walk my neighbor’s dog, Chloe, every morning. They’re an older couple, so I do it simply to help out, and Chloe now waits for me by the door each day. It’s one of the sweetest parts of my routine. Availability: I am actively at work three days a week Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from the hours of approximately 11-4 pm. The rest of the week I work from home. Walking Services: I am an avid hiker and runner. I typically use my days off to hike and I would be delighted to integrate your dog into my routine if you live near trails. House stays: When I stay in the clients home, I try to keep to the schedule that is already known to minimize stress to the pet. Dog daycare: At my own home, I have a fenced in area where the dogs can run and play. There are neighborhood dogs that can come and play if your pet enjoys socializing.
About: I have 9 years of experience with all ages and sizes of dogs. I walked my neighbors dogs for 8 of those years and have had my own dog since, who I trained myself. I have always enjoyed spending time with my furry friends and will treat them like my own! I am in school full time during the day and have a part-time job Monday, Wednesday, Friday night and Saturday afternoon. I am available Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday night while also having a few hours during the day for a possible potty break! I have always believed in slow introductions and building trust with animals. I love spending time with animals and will work to make their experience with a new sitter enjoyable. I am available for dog walking, potty breaks and house sitting. With that being said, I will leave the house cleaner than when I got there!

“I left my Pug with Gabrielle on a Sunday to Tuesday. Gabrielle was very conscientious, answered all questions, listened well and was very nice to both Wilbur and me. He obviously has a nice way with dogs and sent photos and video of Wilbur at random times. Wilbur was well taken care of, walked dependably, and was happy with Gabrielle and co. I highly recommend Gabrielle and look forward to seeing him again!”

“Very grateful for Jen and her family for being able to accommodate and take care of my Oreo with very short notice! Jen was very responsive and provided daily updates with pics of how Oreo was doing the entire time I was away. I can tell he was loved and well taken cared of by Jen and her kids! Also love the fact that her property has a huge fenced-in backyard which provided a safe space for Oreo to run around in! I highly recommend Jen and would absolutely entrust Oreo with her and her family again in the future!”
“Bridget was fabulous. Blue had some digestive issues. We communicated with Bridget ahead of time and she was extremely supportive and helpful. She administered new food and medicine while Blue was there. She is an absolute pro and awesome to work with!”

About: I have a 5-year-old border collie. He’s very friendly and loves to play with other dogs. I live in a town house so I don’t have a yard per say. I typically take my dog to parks/fields in Ashland to hike or run around. I typically walk my border collie about 4 miles a day as well. I work remote so I am usually home. Available 7 days a week. I usually go to the gym for a few hours each day but try to be home for my dog to keep him active as a herding dog (border collie) I will do 2 long walks per day typically (2 miles each). I will also take my dog and yours hiking or to a field/park but not a dog park. I can go to a fenced in field if needed for your dog. Mine doesn’t need a fence.
“We had a wonderful experience with Hugo and Julia. Both my dogs were very well taken care of. Hugo and Julia gave daily updates on their well being. They were very attentive and caring!!”
“Migle was absolutely wonderful with Zoë. She went above and beyond-carrying her up and down the stairs because Zoë couldn't manage them, sending regular photo updates, and treating her like her own. I felt completely at ease knowing Zoë was so well cared for. Truly exceptional.”
“Always 5 Stars for Michael and Caesar and the family! Ghost Pepper loves to visit and is always happy to see Michael and Caesar. I know he's having fun in a clean, safe, amazing place when I can't take him with me. So happy to have Michael and Caesar and the family in our area!”
“Kyla was great with Miller. She sent constant updates with pictures through his stay and when I picked him up, he didn’t want to leave. Debated on sending this review since I don’t want others taking away from Miller’s time with Kyla and her family.”
“Julie kept our two dogs for a long weekend and was absolutely fabulous. We were nervous leaving our younger dog (who has some anxiety) in a new place with someone new for the first time but it couldn’t have gone better. Both dogs seemed totally happy and at ease when we picked them up. I genuinely think they didn’t want to come home! We will certainly be using Julie again.”
