About: I’ve grown up with springer spaniels my whole life. I’ve hunted, run with, walked with, trained a little, and snuggled with dogs from birth to death. I’ve volunteered at humane societies, with experience walking and feeding the dogs of all age and sizes. I’m currently in college but am willing to walk or run with your animals in my free time. During the weekdays I am free in the morning before 7:30, 12:15 to 12:45, and after 5. During the weekends I am usually free all day, message me and I’ll explain my availability more! I’m determined to leave your home in the way I found it. I will play with your animals safely and without disturbing anything in the house. I will follow any medical or special needs that your animal requires. I avoid unsafe walking areas and make sure the animal is always secured. I understand that trusting your pet with someone is a big deal. I treat every dog as if it were my own and respect your home and instructions completely. I’m happy to provide updates through photos and messages so you know how your animal is doing. I am happy to adjust and adapt to each personality of each animal. I love staying active and am happy to run with dogs who enjoy exercise while also making sure they don’t over do it. If you have any questions about me or my availability please don’t be afraid to message me.

“Molli was great! I loved all the updates and pictures she gave me of my pet so I knew he was being well taken care of :). She did everything I asked of and more. Will definitely be booking her in the future.”

About: I was a stay-at-home dad who raised 6 kittens and a daughter, so I know all about patience, routine, and keeping up with messes! Now retired, I share my home with one orange tabby who's taught me that cats need both independence and affection on their own terms. Growing up, I had 2 barn cats who happily slept in the hay with our horses. Watching them taught me that cats are individuals with their own preferences – some crave interaction and play, while others are happiest with quiet companionship and a cozy place to curl up. I loved how they would sleep nestled in the hay with the horses one night and the cows the next – they went wherever they felt most comfortable. I'm comfortable with all aspects of cat care: administering medications, maintaining pristine litter boxes (I clean them religiously), reading body language to know when a cat wants play vs. solitude, and respecting their boundaries while still giving them the love and stimulation they need. What sets me apart is that I genuinely understand cats – their quirks, their routines, and their need for both security and space.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for over 20 years. I have two fur babies, Tucker and Jax, so I truly understand how important trustworthy pet care is. I’ll treat your pets with the same love and attention I give my own. I work from home during the week until 4 p.m., so I’m mostly available Friday–Sunday. I can often be flexible on weekdays too, just reach out and I’ll do my best to make it work! Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I make sure they feel secure in their own home and give them plenty of love, pets, and attention so they can relax while you’re away.

“Ragan did great with our boys! She even got our problem child into his kennel! 🙂 would happily have her back!”

“Samantha took great care of my two cats who are not very used to strangers. They were well cared for and were very content when I returned. Absolutely zero complaints and I would highly recommend Samantha.”

About: I have always had dogs growing up in many sizes. With my most recent dog, i worked with him to get over his past abuse issues and was able to train him many other things! I am a first year student at Lake Area Technical College, and am studying agricultural. With this I have classes throughout the day with many in between breaks where I can tend to your pet! I will treat your house like mine and along with your pets. I will make sure your home looks the same if not better than when I arrive.

About: Have always had a love for animals. Cared for injured & ailing animals also. Helped deliver puppies, kittens, bottle fed, administered medication, cared for many animals .

About: I'm a lawyer with one puppy who is my best friend! There will always be tons of snuggles and games here! I love all dogs and have always enjoyed puppy sitting. I have a full job during the week, but when I'm home we play! If your dog is ok with short periods in the kennel while boarding, that is is preferable, but not necessary! I have one mini dachshund puppy one year old and he loves to play! I have a small unfenced yard for potty breaks, but we can go in walks or to the dog park if your baby likes to run!

“Great communication and taking care of my babies!”

“Travis was excellent. A true dog lover. Our dogs are Leary of strangers but they both took to Travis immediately. Travis was very responsive, respectful, knowledgeable about animals, and also inquired about if there was anything we wanted done. Gave immediate updates with pictures.

About: Ever since I can remember we have always had a dog. Mostly labs but my love of animals grew more and more! I have experience with rodents as small as mice and currently even have a Degu!

About: I’ve had cats and dogs in my life since the age of 5. I’ve always been known as an animal person. I’ve raised and trained my Newfoundland, LeRoy on my own.

About: Empathetic and reliable pet caregiver with experience caring for puppies and dogs of all ages. I provide loving attention, playtime, walks, and gentle care to keep your pets happy and safe. I’m currently available in the evenings and on weekends. Friday through Sunday I’m open any hours. Evenings 4pm- 9pm are good times for me. As I gain more clients I will become open full time. I prefer at the clients home so that the cat or dog is in their own and environment and is less stressful for them. Willing to do over nights as well.

About: I grew up on a farm with all animals ranging from dogs, cats, chickens, horses and cows. I’ve also fostered dogs and cats and had the privilege of watching two cats and one dog have their babies in our home! I’m currently a second year student at LATC and have availability tuesdays and Thursdays after noon along with before my 8am class. Mon, Wed, and Fri are a little more full but I’d love to help out when I can. Weekends vary! I am very experienced around dogs and cats so I am confident I can keep your babies safe. Getting to know your pet is my #1 priority to keep them safe.

About: I am currently a pre-vet student with the hopes of becoming a veterinarian! I have many years of experience not only taking care of my pets but also caring for animals in a clinical setting. I currently attend classes for a few hours each day but would be able to spend the rest of my day on-site if needed! It’s best to enquire about your needs, but 99% of the time, I can make it work! I like to set up a file with my clients that lists essential numbers and contact information in the event of an emergency. I also will take every measure to make sure that your pet is safe by following proper diet protocols and administering medication safely. Lastly, I would treat your home as I would want my home to be treated, with cleanliness being an utmost priority.

About: From caring for family pets to helping friends, coworkers, and even strangers, I’ve built a strong reputation as a dependable and loving pet sitter over the years. Dogs aren’t just animals to me — they’re family. I’ve personally owned five dogs, each with their own personalities and needs, and they truly are my best friends. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else, and I don’t take that lightly. My goal is simple: to make sure your best friend feels safe, loved, and cared for until you’re back home with them. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime in the yard, sticking to their feeding routine, or giving them extra snuggles, I make sure they feel comfortable and happy in my care. I also have hands-on experience with dogs who have medical needs — from seizures to chronic illnesses — so I’m confident administering medications, monitoring symptoms, and noticing even small changes in behavior. I pay close attention to detail, especially when it comes to safety. I’m always aware of what they might try to pick up off the ground or get into, and I take proactive steps to keep them protected. Your dog’s health, happiness, and routine will always be my top priority. When you hire me, you’re not just getting a pet sitter — you’re getting someone who will treat your dog like their own. I just recently moved to Watertown and am looking for something to keep me busy. I love animals and look forward to making sure they are loved while you are away! My schedule is free right now and I am available throughout the week! Keeping them busy with enrichment is important! I love to offer things they can do to stay active if that’s their style. If they are chill, we can be chill together, whatever best suits your animal!

About: I've spent decades as a dog dad, raising springer spaniels, golden labs, and black labs – all active, intelligent breeds that need both physical exercise and mental stimulation. I also babysat a beagle every summer for years, so I'm comfortable with different energy levels and personalities. What sets me apart is my empathic approach and genuine understanding of what dogs need. I can read their body language and moods, whether they're anxious, playful, or just need a calm presence. Being retired means I have an open schedule and plenty of time for walks, play sessions, and just hanging out together – your dog won't be squeezed into a busy day. I know that every dog is an individual with their own quirks and routines, and I respect that. Your dog will get my full attention and the kind of care I've given my own pets for years. Being retired means pet care can be my daily routine! I have a completely open schedule with no other work commitments. My days are flexible and built around whatever your pet needs. The beauty of retirement is that I'm not trying to squeeze pet care into lunch breaks or evenings – I can give your pets the time and attention they deserve, whenever they need it. My priority is maintaining your pet's routine and keeping them safe and comfortable. Pets thrive on routine and familiarity. I'll stick to your pet's exact schedule – mealtimes, medications, favorite activities, where they like to sleep – so the only thing that changes is that you're not there. I'm empathic to how pets handle change, so I take time to let them adjust to me at their own pace. I'll treat your home like my home and send you updates so you have peace of mind while you're away.

“Ragan was absolutely wonderful with my dog. She walked her twice as far as I normally do to help burn off some extra energy. She sent pictures while on the walk showing me how the dog was doing. I will definitely be using her again in the future.”

“Skylar, was just amazing. My two westies were just comfortable with Skylar. I appreciate how on time she was. Her communication was spot on. Grateful she was available last minute.”

She does accompany on my walks.
