Dog Sitting Wakefield

About: From neighborhood animal care to volunteering at local animal rescues, my passion lies in animal welfare and caregiving! I'm looking to reconnect with a local animal advocacy scene and provide my services to anyone who may need help with their four-legged loved ones. I'm a remote employee, so I'm able to work from anywhere that has WiFi! Based in Melrose, MA, I look forward to reconnecting with my roots as a Boston native and help assist with your fluffy friends! ☺️ I have reliable (and pet friendly) transportation for anything your pet may need: a walk in the park, a trip to the lake or emergency vet care. I highly encourage pet owners to provide me with the names of their vets and emergency contacts for the duration of the animal's care.

About: I grew up with dogs and animals around me so would love to continue being around them. Life is boring without them, in our world. I work full time and go to school during the week would love to help people out during the weekend and maybe even weekdays if there is that relationship. I currently am not offering pet sitting at my house because my Roomate is allergic but I can come to the dogs home and care for them.

“Kat was great with Bella! Bella enjoyed the time that Kat spent with her. I enjoyed getting the pictures of Bella every time Kat came over while I was gone and seeing how happy Bella was! Thank you Kat for taking care of Bella and my mums!!!”

“On time, flexible, responsive, attentive and patient with our dogs, especially our older pup who is slower to warm up to new people. Will hire him again!”

“Jennifer took great care of our dog while we were away! We had her do drop in visits at our home, since our dog is older and does better staying home. Jennifer did each visit on time, and took extra care to make sure that she ate, got out for her business, and also got some love! She communicated perfectly by writing a little summary about the visit, and uploaded photos. We felt completely confident that our dog was taken care of while we were away, and will absolutely use Jennifer again!”

About: Hi everyone! I am an active dog lover who is excited to take care of your fur babies! I am very active so there will be lots of walks and hikes (unless not wanted). We also have a large fenced in back yard and great dog waking neighborhood. We also have a 2 year old Golden who gets along well and is around other dogs often. Looking forward to connecting. Any questions - don’t hesitate! I worked in the corporate world for 20 years and am fortunate to have the opportunity to take a year off and do what I love! I have a large fenced in yard, a 2 year old Golden Retriever and 3 kids. Husband is also a dog lover as his mother breeder German Shephards when he was a child. We “live” in our home but would require the dog be house trained (unless. Puppy).

About: What sets me apart is the level of care and communication I provide. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else because I’ve cared for my own dog for the past 12 years. I follow their routine closely, and provide regular photo and video updates so you always know how they’re doing. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work a full-time job with a flexible schedule, including a few work-from-home days each week, which allows me to provide reliable care and plenty of attention. Outside of work, I enjoy staying active, so walks, playtime, and spending time with dogs are something I genuinely look forward to. I plan my schedule carefully to make sure every pet receives the care, exercise, and affection they deserve while their owner is away. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll treat your space with the same respect and care I would my own. I’ll also provide regular photo and video updates, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: Reliable and caring dog walker who is passionate about providing safe, fun, and enjoyable walks for every dog. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs, making sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and love while in my care. Your pet’s happiness and safety are always my top priorities! I work full time as an operating room nurse. I am available on the weekends and have most mondays off. Also available for evening walks. I care for every pet as if they are my own.

About: I've never owned a dog but I've been helping friends and family to take care of theirs. I'll make sure your pup stays healthy and entertained. I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate same-day requests. I can pick up your per if necessary. Please don't hesitate to reach out for any questions. My one-bedroom apartment in a pet-friendly building is perfect for a short stay. There's a lovely pond nearby which is perfect for walks.

About: I’ve been dog sitting for quite a while and have cared for many different kinds of dogs with a wide range of needs. I have experience caring for senior dogs, including safely distributing and administering different types of medications as part of their daily routines. I’m also working toward becoming a nurse, which reflects how much I genuinely love caring for others, both people and pets. I’m patient, detail-oriented, and attentive, and I bring that same level of compassion and responsibility to every dog I care for. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners peace of mind. I have a very open and flexible schedule during my days. I’m fully available for walks, drop-ins, extended stays, and giving pets consistent attention throughout the day. Even on busier days, I’m able to provide care before and after my errands and make sure pets stick to their normal routines. I am mostly always home working on my online class so there’s usually not a long duration of time I would be gone on errands. Safety and trust are always my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or in a client’s home. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, needs, and any specific instructions so they feel comfortable and secure. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all care guidelines closely, including feeding schedules, walk routines, medication instructions, and house rules. I make sure doors and gates are secure, keep pets in safe areas, and maintain a calm, clean environment. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, pet-friendly space with close supervision, plenty of attention, and a comfortable area to rest and play. I’m careful about monitoring behavior, limiting exposure to hazards, and adjusting care based on age, energy level, or health needs. I also believe communication is extremely crucial, so I provide regular updates and photos to keep owners informed and confident that their pets are well cared for.

About: I have a Bachelor's degree in Veterinary Technology and hands-on experience working as a veterinary technologist in general medicine. Caring for animals isn't just something I love, it's something I've been professionally trained to do. I am comfortable caring for pets with medical needs, administering medications, following special diets, and recognizing changes in a pet's health or behavior that may need veterinary attention. I've worked with animals of all ages and personalities. I've also genuinely loved animals my entire life. I grew up with police dogs, have a dog of my own who I raised from a puppy, and share my home with my eight cats, six of whom I've raised from kittens. Whether I'm caring for a healthy puppy who needs some structure, a senior who needs a little extra attention, or a pet with a laundry list of medical needs, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you're away. Your animal’s comfort is my biggest priority. I am currently freelancing, so much of my time is spent at home or bringing my dog on outdoor adventures nearby. Pet care is a round-the-clock part of my life with my own pets, and I genuinely enjoy having animals around. I have a very friendly dog who I raised from a puppy and three cats of my own. I live in a spacious condo with plenty of room to roam and a dedicated sunroom for cats, aka the Kitty Haven, where they can comfortably retreat and have their own space. I have a crate available if needed and am very well-versed in crate training and dog training. My home is already set up for animals, with plenty of pet supplies, toys, and space for them to be comfortable. I'm happy to accommodate each pet's individual routine, personality, and needs, and I want them to feel at home rather than like they're staying somewhere unfamiliar.

They will be able to sleep wherever they would as if in their own home. Why I love dog sitting I have had dogs all of my life. As a child, I had a cockapoo who passed away when he was 15 yrs old. Then while I college, I rescued a collie pup from the pound. Athena was with me until she could no longer walk at the age of 13.5. My past two dogs, unfortunately had lyphoma..one was a scottish terrier who passed at the age of 3 and the other was a wheaton terrier who passed at the age of 4.5. After this terrible experience of losing 2 dogs at such a young age, our family steered away from the terrier breed as they are prone to cancer. Our bouncing beardies have brought so much joy and love to our lives... About my yard Our yard is large, and completely fenced in! It’s like having our own doggie park in a safe environment.
