“Mikayla is always great with our cat Maddie while we are away. She provides lots of updates and pictures. She’s great with our cat and we will continue to have her watch Maddie while we are away. Thank you!”

About: I have been working part time at the vets office for two years, taking care of boarded animals. I see a large variety of pets weekly, as I am a kennel attendant. I meet dogs and cats of all ages and breeds all the time. I have always had a special connection with animals. I stopped eating meat when I was six years old because I learned the chickens on the farm were what chicken nuggets are made of. I’ve grown up helping out at farms, as I’ve always had a drive to help animals to the best of my ability. I’ve been watching pets for the past three years and I have never met a dog that didn’t end up liking me by the end of the day! My entire life is based around animals, as I have my own pets and I’m a full-time pet sitter. I truly spend more time with pets than people, and I enjoy it. I take great pride in caring for pets, whether in my own home or others'. I go above and beyond to ensure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable, providing them with personalized attention and care. From maintaining their routines to offering plenty of playtime and cuddles, I make sure their environment is stress-free and enjoyable. Whether it's administering medications or ensuring they have all the comforts they need, I treat each pet as if they were my own, always striving to exceed expectations! I do not take any dogs with even the slightest aggression towards other animals into my home.

“Megan was great! Timely & I’m super appreciative of the pictures she took while with my pup!”

About: I bring high-energy, all-terrain enthusiasm to every pet I care for! Whether I’m biking, swimming, running, walking, rollerblading, or scootering, I stay active so your dog can too. I’ve worked with pups of all ages—from playful puppies to mellow seniors—and tailor each walk or visit to fit their pace and personality. Pets aren’t just cared for, they’re engaged and uplifted. Let’s turn walk time into mission time! I work from home full-time, which means I’m always nearby and flexible. Pet care fits naturally into my day—I schedule walks, playtime, and snuggles around my work. I treat every pet like family—whether they're with me or I'm visiting their home. I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time and two friendly dogs for social play. I follow any special instructions you provide and can crate your pup if needed. Clean spaces, constant supervision, and a whole lot of love ensure your pet’s comfort and security.

“Meredith took excellent care of my cat, Indy while I was away! She sent many pictures and I could tell he warmed up to her. I would definitely ask her to petsit again.”

About: I am a lover of all animals, and am determined to make sure your pet feels cared for and loved while you are gone! I have dog-sat and cat-sat for many of my friends, and am very comfortable with all types of breeds. I work full time as a nurse, so I usually am home 4 days a week! I can be flexible to your schedule; if you see a day of mine that is marked unavailable, just reach out and I’ll see if we can make something work! I have a 2.5 year old ACD mix who is very friendly and well trained. He gets along with cats and dogs! I live in a house with easy access to walking paths and a park:

About: ***AVAILABLE ON MARTHAS VINEYARD ONLY*** - Intermittently on Nantucket but dates of availability only reflect that of MV. Please inquire with a message for Nantucket :) My experience with animals began as a child both with family pets and horseback riding. Being on the farm at such a young age instilled in me a love for animals that has only grown over the years. It also allowed me a front row seat to better understanding animals and their individual behaviors. Throughout the years, I have become proficient in medication administration and personalized feedings scheduled and requirements. I have also been privileged to be around animals of all kinds and ages and I look forward to providing your young and senior pets with the extra love and attention they require and deserve. In my day to day life I am a licensed and trained paramedic which has helped me better harness the patience and understanding often required when helping animals and their families. For those of you that have pets with boundless energy, I go for a minimum 5 mile walk daily that could only be made better by the accompaniment of your four legged family member. I look forward to meeting you and your perfect pets! I currently work part time as a paramedic which allows for a lot of freedom and flexibility in my schedule to help you and your pet. As I will be watching your pet in the comfort of your home- I will always want to know what helps them adjust to change best in your absence. How can I make them, and you, feel more comfortable? What toys do they love? What types of check ins work best for you and what information do you prefer to be kept up to date on? Does your pet have any health history or allergies? What ever you think will make this experience best for you and your pet is information I would love to be made aware of!

About: I have owned dogs for my entire life, and have experience training puppies and caring for elderly dogs. I have also babysat or made house visits for other dogs frequently. I am comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and personalities. I would be able to do morning house visits or walks (ending at 11am) on Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays. I will be available any time on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, granted I have a weeks notice. I am willing to adapt to any caretaking rules you may have in place for your dog at your own home (i.e. the rooms they are allowed in, outside time, etc). I can stay with the dog for as long as you need me to as long as there is communication.

About: Hi! I’m a washashore with a lifetime of dog experience. I specialize in large dogs but still love my lil barkers. I own 2 floofs Briar (the Newf) and Chloe (the midget newf) I have some grooming experience and would certainly throw in a bath if need be. We love walks, videos of our adventures (so we can send them to non furry family), and lots of brushing and belly rubs. I will do off leash walks in safe environments and will do leash walks in town to socialize and get an occasional “frosty paw.” I am still on my journey to be a full time dog groomer and my biggest concern is for the animal to be happy and comfortable. I currently work part time for my husband’s tour business so this keeps me busy when I am not selling tour tickets and admin work I have a fenced in yard so if the dog park seems a little too busy or your pup jest needs to burn some energy they have a full acre to do so.

“Caroline was a pleasure to have by and meet the pack! Looking forward to having her back.”

“Great service from Sam. We set up daily visits ( on a very last minute request.) Sam did exactly what we asked, sent pictures and updates. Our puppy loves everyone so I am sure she was delighted with Sam's visit. Will be calling him for help again- soon!”

Peter D.

“Kayla was great! She was very communicative and even cleaned up a mess! We will definitely use her again!”

“Susan is the best! She’s a real dog lover. She took care of our two dogs while we were out all day and night attending a wedding. Susan stopped by twice to feed and walk both dogs. The dogs had to be taken care of separately and Susan was able to care of everything! She even made time to come over to meet both dogs the day before. She also sent videos and photos of the dogs when she was over!”

About: I have been a pet sitter for the last 10 years, working for neighbors as well as for the families I was nannying for. I am committed to the dogs I am caring for and I will treat them as if they are my own. I currently work in a hotel and taking care of animals in my free time would be work that I am very passionate about. I am happy to take the dogs on walks, or host in your home. I currently work part time so I would love to fill my free time caring for animals. I spend most nights on long walks so it would be great to have a companion to keep me company. I am very responsible and trustworthy. I would treat your dog and your home as if it is my own. I am happy to feed, play, walk, go to the beach, or anything that will make the pets happy.

About: I am a friendly and compassionate animal lover who wants to be able to give your pet the care and love it deserves while you are away. I will truly treat your pet like my own and I will keep you updated on how your furry friend is doing during the time we are together. Depending on what services you request, I am available to let your pet out during the day for walks and exercise, to feed them, or even to watch them overnight while you are out of town. I know trusting someone with your furry family is hard but I will do everything I can to help you feel confident that your pet is in good hands and having fun! Overall, I am a very laid back and flexible person so please feel free to request services that fit your needs. I have had animals my whole life and I have always been an animal person. When I was growing up I had 2 cats, 3 chinchillas, 2 guinea pigs, 4 hamsters, a rat, and 2 bunnies. Even though I did not grow up with a dog I had a dog walking business and took care of dogs around my neighborhood. When I would visit families who had dogs, I was always the most excited to play outside or walk their dogs. When I was 23 I adopted my first rescue pup and have since added another to our family. As an adult, I have also watched many dogs overnight while friends or family were out of town. I am a full time 7th-grade science teacher but I am excited to spend my free time fulfilling a life long dream of being surrounded by and taking care of loving animals. Please reach out to me if you have any questions or would like to talk further. I am looking forward to keeping your dog's tail wagging even while you are away! Warm regards, Caitlin I am a full time 7th grade science teacher but I am excited to spend my free time fulfilling a life long dream of being surrounded by and taking care of loving animals. I normally get out of work by 3pm on weekdays and have a flexible schedule during the weekends. My home has a fenced in yard and two friendly mid sized dogs that would easily befriend your pup. If requested, I have a crate if needed. When visiting your home or walking your dogs, I will leave my pups at home unless previously discussed with you. I will send you plenty of pictures of a happy pup enjoying their walk or house care.

“Morgan is a great communicator! She kept us up to date on her schedule and made sure our dog was well taken care of while we went out to dinner. I'd certainly recommend her!”

About: I have had cats and dogs my whole life, At present, I have a senior mixed breed dog named Ozzie whom we adopted from the local shelter 13 years ago. He has trust issues, fear aggression, and separation anxiety so he has needed a lot of TLC but he is a great dog, with a huge heart. Once you are in his "pack", he will love you for life! Our 9 year old cat, Mist, was adopted from the HART Organization in ME 9 years ago. She is a dog in her alter ego and is simply a love. They both are happy, loved, and spoiled pets! Additionally, I have cared for many friends cats and dogs over the years. I currently work part time from home. I have a lot of flexibility. I can do pet visits, feedings, and dog walks. I am usually available Monday - Fridays, after 9am. At this time, I am not available to take care of pets in my home or at client's. I am looking for daytime dog walks or pet check-ins.
