Very sweet and understanding of my fearful dog! She brought treats and got him comfortable with her before we left for the walk. Milo really like her even though he’s very fearful of people.

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: 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!

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.

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.

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: I have always been the main pet care taker growing up. I got my own dog when I was an 8th grader and have raised/trained her since a puppy. I get a lot of compliments on how well behaved she is. I just finished graduate school and waiting for my certification before I can get a job. So I have a lot of free time on my hands at the moment. I have two dogs at home already. One is purely outside, so I will play fetch with him and take him for long walks. The other is an inside dog, so I let her out about 3 times per day. She does accompany on my walks.

About: I’ve always had dogs in my life since I was a kid. I even used to show my dog in 4H dog shows! I also showed chickens, goats and horses so I am very experienced with any kind of animal you may want me to look after! I’m currently working part time only so I would love to take care of pets during the day or even over night when I can! I have a pretty big yard and can take dogs on walks when they need. I can let them out/take on walks when they need!
