Pet Sitting Watertown

“Deedee is wonderful! Our cat is usually very shy and hides but she came out and got her meds and treats. I had no worries with Deedee taking care of our girl and highly recommend her services!!!!”

“Nikki was awesome! I love that she wanted to meet my cat first to make sure it was a good match for both of them. She was very knowledgeable about how to interact with my cat. During the drop-in visits, she took care to read the instructions I left and use the information to interact with my cat, including brushing him which he always enjoys. She left detailed report cards. I will 100% be a repeat customer! Thank you for taking such good care of my cat while I was away, Nikki!”

“Sadie did an awesome job again, this time with my more exotic pets (tortoise, fish, and plants). I'm very happy to have found Sadie through Rover!”

“Bella took care of Lucina on very short notice, and kept her happy, fed, and entertained as best as a drop in visit could do. She would be my first choice if I ever need a cat sitter again and I'd recommend her to anyone!”

About: With years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, I bring a well-rounded and deeply committed approach to pet care. I am the owner of Oh My Paws, a pet-sitting business I started during college, and have worked as a kennel technician, dog handler for Can Do Canines, and am currently completing an apprenticeship at a Humane Society. These roles have given me experience with a variety of temperaments, medical needs, and behavioral challenges. What truly sets me apart is my background in dog behavior and training. I am currently studying to earn my CPDT-KA (Certified Professional Dog Trainer – Knowledge Assessed) certification and have experience training service dogs through the Falcon Fetch program. This gives me a unique ability to understand body language, reduce stress in pets, and ensure a safe, enriching environment during their care. Pet care is a central part of my life and something I prioritize in my weekly routine. I have very open availability on weekends (Saturday–Sunday), and I’m also available on Mondays if needed. This flexibility allows me to provide consistent and dependable care, whether it’s for daily visits, overnights, or last-minute bookings. Because I run my own pet-sitting business and am actively involved in training and animal welfare work, I structure my schedule around the pets I care for. I take the time to provide each animal with individualized attention, exercise, enrichment, and a calm, safe environment. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, safety and trust are always my top priorities. I begin with a detailed intake to learn about each pet’s routine, medical needs, triggers, and preferences, and I tailor my care accordingly. I use positive reinforcement and clear communication to build trust with animals, helping them feel safe and comfortable. In a client’s home, I maintain their pet’s usual routines as closely as possible to reduce stress. I’m respectful of the home environment, leave things exactly as I found them, and provide regular updates with photos and notes for peace of mind.

About: I’m a lifelong dog owner and have often been called a “Deaf Dog Whisperer” throughout my life — a title I happily agree with. I currently have three dogs, including two Deaf dogs and a Deaf Dogo Argentino. I have experience with a wide range of dogs, from Chihuahuas to Great Danes and Mastiffs, including high-energy, Deaf, and special-needs dogs. Being Deaf has strengthened my bond with dogs because we’ve learned to communicate without relying on spoken words. I naturally pay close attention to their behavior, body language, and the little ways they communicate with me. I’ve always had an easy time connecting with dogs and understanding what they need to feel comfortable, safe, and understood. I work from home, allowing me to provide plenty of companionship and attention throughout the day, especially during house sitting. I’m comfortable with different routines, dogs in diapers, baths, basic nail trims, and keeping dogs mentally engaged with puzzles, chews, sniffing, and play. I’m also happy to offer treats with your approval or take your dog for a car ride if they find it relaxing. I follow care instructions closely and often go the extra mile — something my customers and reviews have complimented me on. I treat every home with the same respect I’d want for my own, making sure it’s left the way I found it, or even a little cleaner. Your dog’s routine, preferences, and care instructions are important to me.

About: I’m a disabled veteran & dogs have always been my peace so i decided to start incorporating more of them into my daily life & call it “work” 🥰 pet-loving is part of my every day life! i take my own pups for walks in the morning before the heat, and during the warmest days of winter. i love being outside, playing with animals & taking care of them! i will use the app, frequent communications in texting, etc. along with pictures and videos to send to all my pet parents! walking the pups at least a mile, if they can, or more if requested! i also walk all my clients separately from others, so no need to worry about differing personalities.

“Thanks Julia! I always know Kane is going to get extra love and attention when he’s in your care.”

“Ashley did a wonderful job watching our dogs while we were on vacation. She dropped in several times a day to care for them. She's prompt on communication and photo updates. I really enjoyed seeing what the dogs were up to each time she dropped in. I knew they were in good hands with Ashley while we were away!”

Samantha S.

“Great communication and trustworthy!”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs, including my own Chesapeake Bay Retriever, who is my best friend. This personal connection has given me insight into dog behavior and the importance of patience and consistency. I’m comfortable with high-energy breeds and providing attentive care for pets of all ages. Whether it’s playing, walking, or ensuring pets feel safe and loved, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. As I am currently available full-time, I have complete flexibility to care for pets any day of the week, at any time. Whether your pet needs early morning walks or midday check-ins, I can easily adjust to their routine to ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and well-cared for. I provide attentive and personalized pet care, whether in my home or at my client’s home. In a client’s home, I ensure pets stick to their normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care they need. I make sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owner is away. If caring for pets in my home, I offer a loving and pet-friendly environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel happy, secure, and well cared for at all times.

About: I have always had a dog in my house growing up, so i understand the basics of dog care. Currently I work at a dog daycare. I've been working there for 2 years and it has helped me understand more about dog behaviors, and care for them efficiently and effectively. Before that I volunteered at the Jefferson Humane Society for 3 years helping clean out animal cages/rooms and providing affection to all the rescued animals. I'm looking for extra work during the summer in between my internship and job. Internship is 3 days a week, job is 2. So I don't have a bunch of time but I do have some open hours where I can do dog walks and some daycare shifts. I have a lot of experience with a variety of dogs and their behaviors. I can create dogs when needed and can walk dogs without any issues.

“Katie was amazing with our 2 cats! They came out to greet her each time she stopped by and she was extremely attentive, respectful, and responsive. Katie was there when she said she would be and provided top-notch feedback/updates. It was our first time using a sitter that wasn’t a friend or family and we were so happy we went with her! Absolutely will be contacting Katie again for future needs!”

“Ramsey did an excellent job caring for my two cats. I’d trust them with her any time. Came home to find littler boxes and food bowls clean. I can tell she played with the cats during the drop in visits. Thanks, Ramsey!”

Tara F.

“Jenn is very reliable. She has done drop in visits and overnight. She is my go to pet sitter.”

Lisa C.

“Tori helped me out with drop in visits with a new puppy a couple months back and it helped so much! I reached out to her last minute today and she totally came through! Put my mind and my puppy’s nerves at ease 🥰 thank you!”

About: I have had pets all my life. I have 5 of my own dogs of various shape and size and foster for a couple different rescues! I am very flexible, I'm available most of the time and love to meet new pets. I try to fit the needs of pet owners where I can. I don’t plan on doing any home care. I have 5 dogs of my own and also foster. This just isn’t possible at this time.

“Alex did a great job keeping me updated and sending photos! Will book again”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my calm, patient approach and my ability to connect with pets of all personalities, especially shy or anxious ones. I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats my whole life, so I understand how to read their body language and respond to their needs with care and understanding. I’m also very reliable and communicative, so you’ll always get updates, photos, and peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable at all times Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! I have a flexible class schedule, which means I can stop by for walks or drop-in visits between classes and again later in the afternoon or evening. Spending time with animals is one of my favorite parts of the day; it’s a relaxing, happy break that keeps me active and grounded. Whether it’s a quick walk or some evening cuddle time, I always make sure each pet gets my full attention and care. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I always make sure to keep their routines as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow all instructions closely — from feeding schedules to favorite toys and walking routes, so pets feel safe and at ease while their owners are away. I spend time playing, giving attention, and keeping their space tidy and calm. Since I live in a dorm, I don’t bring pets to my room, but I’m very dedicated to giving them the best care right in their own home, where they feel most comfortable.
