About: I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember and have always been involved in caring for them. My own dogs have included seniors who needed extra patience, daily medications and even injections, so I’m comfortable caring for older pets and following specific care routines. I’ve also grown up around and care for many other animals. I have a degree in Wildlife Conservation Biology and gained extensive hands-on animal care experience during my time at Kildare Wildlife Rescue, where I cared for a wide variety of injured and recovering animals. I’m patient, attentive and genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I’m generally working Tuesday-Thursday but I’m available for morning and evening walks or drop-ins on those days. I’m very flexible Monday and Friday-Sunday and can often accommodate daytime visits, house sitting and consistent weekend care. I want every pet to feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their family is away. I’ll follow your pets normal routine as closely as possible, including meals, medications, walks, and any special instructions. I’m attentive to changes in behavior and health and will keep you updated with photos and messages. I’m also respectful of your home and will leave it clean, secure and just as I found it.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs and getting to know their unique personalities. Whether we’re heading out for a walk, hanging out at home, or spending a few days together while you’re away, I want your dog to feel happy, comfortable, and loved. When your dog stays with me, they’re my one and only boarding guest! I only board one dog at a time, so they get plenty of individual attention in a relaxed, home environment. I also work from home, which means I’m around almost all day for companionship, walks, playtime, or just hanging out together. I know every dog is different, and I’m happy to adjust to their routines, energy levels, and little quirks. I’m especially patient with dogs who are shy or need a little extra reassurance. I’m reliable, flexible, and always happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you know how things are going. My goal is simple: happy dogs and owners who can relax knowing their pups are in good hands! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available for walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with pets throughout the day. As a single mom 50% of the time, my schedule is particularly flexible on my child-free days. I also love being outdoors, so getting outside for walks and exercise with pets is something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to. I believe every pet is happiest when their routine stays as consistent as possible. In my clients' homes, I follow their pet's normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and lots of attention. I take time to get to know each pet's personality so they feel comfortable and cared for while their owner is away. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, calm environment with plenty of supervision, exercise, and affection. Whether a pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quieter approach, I tailor my care to their individual needs and treat them like part of the family.

About: Hi! I’m a high-energy, caring and respectful pet sitter with 5 years of experience caring for dogs. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, personalities and needs, including dogs who require extra exercise, medication or specialized care. I have experience providing dog walking, drop-in visits and house sitting, and I love getting to know each dog and their individual routine. Whether your pup needs a long walk, plenty of playtime, medication on schedule or simply some company while you’re away, I’m happy to help! I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet and your home. I’m reliable, communicative and attentive to the little details that help dogs feel comfortable and happy while their owners are away. My goal is to make sure your pup gets plenty of love, exercise and attention while sticking as closely as possible to their normal routine. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pup! 🐶 I am currently between jobs so have time for walks and check-ins throughout the day. Overnight stay availability fluctuates depending on the week and my schedule. I cannot bring pets into my own apartment but am super comfortable staying at your home! I will show your home the same care and respect that I show your pet.

About: At 59, I have spent a lifetime caring for animals. I raised my own dogs and cat through two complete life cycles, from playful puppies and kittens to their senior years, so I know what pets need at every stage: proper feeding, exercise, medications, and patience when they're old or unwell. I have also cared for relatives' pets for years while they traveled for vacations or business, and in Houston I was paid by neighbors to look after their animals. Those families trusted me because I treat every pet as my own, with reliability, attention, and affection. I am new to Massachusetts and would love to bring that experience to the pets in my new community." Pet care fits into my routine easily because I am available any day of the week, at any hour. Mornings, evenings, weekends, and holidays are all fine with me, and I can adjust to your schedule, including last-minute requests. I have spent my life caring for animals, so feeding, walks, playtime, medication, and simply keeping a pet company are part of my daily rhythm. When your pet is with me, they get my full attention, not whatever time is left over. I send updates so you always know how your pet is doing. Your pet's safety and comfort come first. I keep a calm, clean, secure home and never leave pets unattended or unsupervised with anything unsafe. I follow each pet's feeding schedule, medications, and routine exactly as you describe, and I keep walks on a leash with ID tags. If I'm caring for your pet at your home, I treat it with respect, keep it tidy, and follow your house rules. I pay close attention to behavior and health, and if anything seems off, I contact you right away and, if needed, a veterinarian. I send photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and loved.

As always, Nick was reliable and communicated promptly and clearly. We so look forward to his photos and write ups! The cats are beginning to accept Nick almost as a member of the family --- he was even able to brush our very timid boy!!

This was our first experience with Rover and wow, Jordan was the best! The cats were very happy and well cared for. Jordan even enchanted our shy female tabby, a true cat whisperer 😻I loved the nightly reports with photos.
