We would highly recommend her.”
About: I've shared my life with cats since I was a child and understand that every cat has their own unique personality. I have experience caring for playful kittens, shy or timid cats, senior cats, feral cats, and cats with medical needs. I'm comfortable administering medications, following special diets, and providing the extra patience and gentle care that many cats require. My own 18-year-old cat has taught me the importance of compassionate senior care and paying attention to the little changes that can make a big difference. Whether your cat loves attention or prefers quiet companionship, I'll respect their routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away.
“Alison was wonderful! Took lots of pictures, made sure my cats ate, got pets and played. Also made sure my stubborn senior got her meds! I’ll definitely be a repeat customer!”

Just let me know the times/days you need. M-F preferred weekends are negotiable! My preference is to take care of pets at clients home.

About: Hi there! I'm Erin, a dedicated mother and lifelong animal enthusiast.

Over time, my passion evolved into a profession, and I've been providing top-notch pet sitting and dog walking services ever since. What sets me apart is the personal touch I bring to every interaction. As a mother, I understand the importance of family, and that includes our beloved pets. That's why I love nothing more than including my own children in our pet visits and walks.

In our home, your pet will have plenty of room to roam and play, whether they're chasing toys, lounging in cozy corners, or enjoying some quality cuddle time. I understand that some pets may feel more comfortable in their own crates, and I am more than happy to accommodate those preferences to ensure they feel safe and secure during their stay. Outside of our home, we love to explore and embrace the great outdoors, making long evening walks around neighborhoods or adventures in the woods a regular part of our routine.

“I highly recommend Lila. She did an amazing job with my three cats. She is very diligent and honest. Gustav needs a pill and she was able to give him that. Betty is very timid but she went to Lila. Lila kept me updated with texts and photos everyday. She went above and beyond. I look forward to having Lila take care of my fur babies whenever I travel!”

“Leia had a wonderful walk with Pat. Pat showed up promptly and checked in to make sure everything was okay before the walk. Pat walked her down the road and gave Leia some much needed exercise. Leia had met her previously a while back and took to her immediately again on the adventure of her walk exploring all the scents and sights along the way. It was a cold afternoon but Leia's favorite type of weather with dry ground and flurries in the air and it was fantastic to have the opportunity to get out on a Sunday afternoon after she had been alone all morning. Pat Tolerated Leia's little quirks of being anxious with new experiences and it all worked out beautifully. Leia and I are both looking forward to another walk for her in the future.”

About: I'm newer to paid pet sitting, but I interned at a veterinary clinic, owned some pets, so I'm comfortable around animals of all kinds: dogs, cats, and small animals, including nervous ones and seniors. I can give medication if needed, and I'm also happy to help with baths and nail trims. I've spent time with both puppies and older dogs, and I adjust to whatever each pet needs. For me, caring for animals means real connection through active play, regular walks for dogs, and just paying attention to their mood and comfort. Whether it's a pup who needs to run off some energy, a cat who wants quiet company, or a small animal that needs gentle handling, I'll treat them like my own. I have a very flexible schedule, so I can build my day around a pet's routine: walks, feeding, and medication times, rather than fitting them around mine. Consistency and presence are important to me, especially for animals who do best with a steady routine. I adjust care to each pet's comfort and energy level, including 30 minutes of fetch in a fenced yard, 30- to 45-minute leashed walks, or a leashed hike if they're up for it (if the weather permits). I stay attentive to their routine and needs throughout our time together, and I also offer baths or nail trims for an additional $20 if you'd like.
About: Most of my days are spent outside with my dogs, hiking mountains and trails, biking with them running alongside, or paddle boarding on local ponds, rivers, and lakes. Right now that’s Indie, a Catahoula Cur/Boxer mix who loves bike rides, fishing, and adventure, and Kaia, a Boykin Spaniel who loves to swim, hike, and play. Over the years I’ve also raised a Brittany and a Vizsla, and I’m comfortable with every kind of dog, from energetic puppies and high-energy working breeds to laid-back seniors. My dogs have gone through professional training programs, and I keep up good leash manners and recall on every walk. Puppies get consistency and patience; seniors get extra attention to comfort. What to expect: I’ll follow your dog’s routine, including feeding and any meds, and tailor each walk to them, whether that’s a long, energetic walk or an easy stroll around the block. You’ll get photos and an update through the Rover app after every visit. I serve the Central MA area and am happy to set up a free meet and greet first. I work full-time as a Marketing Manager with a flexible, mostly remote schedule, so I can fit consistent visits into my week. Mon, Wed, Fri: morning, midday, and evening walks and drop-ins Tue, Thu: not available Weekends: morning, afternoon, and evening walks and drop-ins I plan my week ahead so visits happen on time, whether your dog needs a one-time walk or a regular weekly schedule. I follow each dog’s routine closely, including feeding times, walk schedules, meds, and any house rules, so they stay comfortable while you’re away. On every walk, I check that harnesses and collars are secure, keep dogs leashed, and stay alert to other dogs, traffic, and wildlife. Client dogs never go off-leash or to dog parks unless you’ve asked me to. Before each visit ends, I double-check doors, gates, and locks, and make sure your dog has fresh water. I keep your vet and emergency contact info on hand, and you’ll get photos and an update through the Rover app after every visit.
About: Hi! My name is Luci, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. As a veterinary technician student and proud dog mom to three dogs over the years, I know how much our pets mean to us. Caring for animals isn't just something I do—it's truly my passion. I love getting to know each dog's unique personality and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether that means long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply keeping them company, I'll care for your pet as if they were my own. Since I'm home from college for the summer, I have a very open and flexible schedule! This allows me to be available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week and on weekends. I love spending my free time with animals, so your pet will get lots of attention, care, and affection while you're away. As a veterinary technician student working toward becoming a Certified Veterinary Technician, I have a strong understanding of animal behavior, health, and safety. Creating a safe, calm, and positive environment is always my top priority. I pay close attention to each pet's individual needs and comfort level, making sure they feel secure, loved, and stress-free while in my care.
