Dog Sitting Watertown

About: Dogs have always been part of my family, from Beagles to Bullies & up to three in a home at a time. Friends, family (& now clients!) have trusted me with caring for their animals on a fairly regular basis doing anything from food/bathroom check-ins to walks, dog park visits & assisting with training. I'm big on positive reinforcement to bring out the best in them. Experienced walking three medium/large dogs at once. Comfortable with elderly dogs & their needs, including handling seizures & the appropriate care. Currently open to just about anything. I'm recovering from health issues & trying to ramp up my activity until I'm able to return to my career as a creative pro. I treat them as their own beings & not 'just' pets by understanding their physical, mental & emotional requirements, doing my best to meet or exceed them. My lifelong interest in psychology has been invaluable in my approach to caring for/working with animals & I feel the joy they've given me over the course of my life should be shared with others & their owners. Upon getting my incredible APBT girl I dedicated months & months to reading & watching everything I possibly could to ensure my behavior would set them up for success no matter the situation, so far that personal mission has been an exciting & fulfilling experience.

About: I’ve always been comfortable with dogs of all types. I grew up with dogs and have spent my whole life around animals, so caring for them feels natural to me. I’m calm, confident, and make sure to adjust to each dog’s individual needs so they feel safe, understood, and well cared for. I work full‑time during the day, but I’m available in the early mornings and evenings to take care of your pet. That gives me plenty of time for feeding, walks, playtime, or whatever they need before and after work. Mondays are my completely open day, so I’m available all day then for longer visits or extra care. My goal is to ensure your pet feels genuinely cared for. I pay close attention to their routine and what they need, and I make sure they stay comfortable, happy, and relaxed the whole time they’re with me.

About: I’ve had dogs as pets my whole life and I currently have three. My responsibility’s with my dogs are to take them out and on walks, feed them, give them water, play with them, and give them lots of love! I’m looking for a job opportunity to help me pay college expenses and to get work experience. I just graduated high school so I have a lot more free time. A few days during the week I go over to my dads to take the dogs out in the afternoons, to give them water, and to let them out and to play as well. I’m available for walks and for drop in visits starting in the late morning and also afternoons. I can stay for as long as you need me to stay so that your dog has enough time to play and be properly cared for. In my home, I provide and encourage dog safe toys and put away things that could cause harm or get damaged. I provide time for play and also rest. I also provide fresh water and to take them out when needed. If your dog goes in a crate then I am more than capable of handling that as I have done that with my dogs in the past and currently.

About: I’ve had pets for as long as I can remember, including dogs, cats, birds, and fish. I also have experience caring for pets for neighbors, family, and friends. I’m attentive, patient, and genuinely caring with every animal. I understand different temperaments and needs, from playful puppies to senior pets who need a gentler approach. As a Marine veteran, I’m reliable, consistent, and detail-oriented, so your pet stays safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I can available Monday through Friday after 4:30pm to late hours. On weekends, I am available - late afternoons, some mornings/late nights shifts (with proper communication). I provide care in your home, following your pet’s routine closely. I learn their behavior, needs, and comfort cues, confirm emergency contacts, and remain aware of exits for safety. I keep detailed notes for future visits to ensure consistency. Your pet stays secure, understood, and consistently well cared for.

“Katie is absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond in caring for my dog. From the moment we connected, her communication was outstanding—she kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about my dog’s well-being and happiness. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I will 100% be using her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and attentive pet caregiver!”

About: There are multiple reasons why I would be the perfect person to take care of your pet! I worked at Guiding eyes for the Blind where I helped train and care for labs and German shepherds. I have worked at a dog kennel and a veterinary center where I provide top care to the client's pets. I aid dogs ranging from puppies to seniors, healthy to unwell, teacup to gigantic. I have also dog sat for multiple friends for days on end. I currently have a 14 year old lab mix that I have taken care of since I was a teenager. I also have a 2 year old lab pup with tons of energy. I prefer to hike my dogs in the woods and let them explore and chase the squirrels. We play fetch and tug of war. I could do the same with your dog! With this experience, I know that dogs need lots of care and love with some fun and snuggles! I am currently going to school to be an ultrasound technician and would love some extra work on the side. My schedule changes with each semester but the best type of study breaks are outside and playing with fur babies. I will follow your instructions closely on how to properly care for your pet. I will make sure that safety is the number one concern to make sure that everyone is well taken care of.

“Cole was fantastic. On time and communicative. Dealt with some unexpected snow on the driveway without issue. It was great to know my pets were well cared for!”

“Sara is amazing. She followed my instructions and she kept in touch with me on how our old lady was doing. She used good judgment with regard to the poor air quality and heat by limiting the time our dog was out. She paid attention to our dog as well. I desperately wish she lived closer to us and am so thankful that she was able to come to our home. I highly recommend her and believe anyone who gets to have her take care of their pets is very lucky. She also has excellent work ethics.”

About: I have been care for my family dog's since 5 years old, I have walked and bath dogs and perivously own cats and taken care of them before. I work part time and also currently in college, I am available after 5 pm on the weekends and I am available all summer as I am back from school. I would care up on the pets frequently and note any unusual behavior to ask the client if that should help a concern or not. I would also walk and provide the meals for pet as needed during my free time. I personally don't have a residence in my area to house pets, but in a client home I would make sure they have the required meal and walk them as requested by the client. If the service is available I'm will the perform the same duties I would in client house and make changes based on client's request

About: Welcome, y'all! I love watching dogs. We watch kitty cats too 😁. Cheapest rates around! Let me make it easier for you to celebrate your vacation and holidays! Let me sit for your pup. I...love... dogs! My parents were dog breeders for years. As a youngster, I was responsible for many of the chores. As an adult, I have always had pets. I know how important your dog is to you. Your dog is your 'baby'. We are definitely dog lovers in this house! Big dog specialist. I love the little dogs too, though! ☺️💪🎄🎁❤️‍🩹 I will treat your pup like my own. I am a teacher during the day. I'm usually home by 3. I'm home every afternoon and every night and every weekend. I do have flexibility in my work schedule should they need arise. I have a dog lead hooked up to the house and it goes all the way back to the maple tree on the back of the property. 20 ft in either direction gives Fido plenty of room to go to the bathroom. Otherwise, your pup is in the house with me and my family. I am offering dog boarding services. This is a friendly Christian home. Lots of love to share.

About: I have owned a cat for seven years, and I enjoy brushing him, feeding him, giving him treats, cleaning the litter box, and cuddling. Sometimes he comes into my room, jumps on my bed, and sleeps with me. I also walk a puppy, a bulldog, named Buckiss. I clean up after him, and enjoy spending time rubbing his belly, and playing catch. At the end of our walk, I bring him back to his house, feed him, and give him water. I follow strict feeding instructions on how much food to give, and what kind of food he's allowed to have (no more than 2 treats a day). When walking in the winter, I make sure Buckiss has dog booties so his feet don't get hurt. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time in my schedule to care for your pet! I have a pretty flexible schedule. When I come to take care of a pet in my client’s home, I make sure that they are cared for with love and I do everything I can to make them feel safe, happy, and comfortable with me. I also make sure that when I end the stay, the client’s home is in the same or better condition than when I first came. I will make sure to clean after myself and leave the place looking as spotless as I can. I try to be a considerate and clean house guest.

About: It’s not “Just A Dog!” Dogs, and animals are an extension of your family! I believe this whole heartedly, and is key in providing quality care. I have Boston terriers that I adore, and have had Great Danes, Boxers, German Shepherd, Bloodhound, Mixed breeds as well as birds/Parrots! I have a wide range of experience, from small breeds to giant breeds, birds/parrots, and more over 25+ years. I will make sure that your pet feels safe, has lots of play time and exercise, praise, cuddles- or space if they prefer, and special attention from me! I will customize my care, preferences, boundaries set, special needs and pet personalities! I love getting to know their amazing characteristics! Quality care, safe, happy pets & owners, from our home to yours!
