About: I’m a recovered former government employee transitioning back to something I love - working with pets! I am committed to providing your furry family members with the attention, exercise, and care they deserve when you're unable to do so. My flexible, part-time availability allows me to focus completely on each pet during our time together, ensuring they receive quality, undivided attention. I have extensive experience in pet-care, and began my career working at a well-regarded pet hotel in a past life! I have a flexible schedule right now, and will work with you to find availability that works for you and your pet so that you can pursue your personal and professional activities with the peace of mind that your pet is cared for. I understand the importance of home security and respect for your private space. I'm happy to work with you to access your home in the most secure way possible, and will ensure a safe and secure visit for both you and your pet.

About: With over 20 years of experience caring for a wide variety of dog breeds both personally and professionally. I bring deep knowledge, patience, and heartfelt dedication to every pup I meet. My love for dogs runs deep, and I always strive to make each one feel safe, loved, and truly at home. Whether it's energetic playtime, long walks, or cozy cuddle sessions, I tailor my care to each dog’s unique needs and personality. Your furry family member will be treated like one of my own with compassion, consistency, and lots of belly rubs! Providing the best care possible isn’t just my job, it’s my passion and my priority. I currently work from home, which allows me to give dogs plenty of time, attention, and care throughout the day. I’m also supported by my two mature and responsible children, who have hands-on experience with dog-sitting, walking, and even cat care. They fully understand the responsibilities that come with caring for animals and love being involved. With our home full of warmth and care, your pet will feel like part of the family. We live in a wonderful, dog-friendly neighborhood that’s known as one of the safest in Massachusetts. Our area is peaceful, welcoming, and perfect for regular walks, with nearby dog parks and friendly neighbors. I have all the necessary dog-walking supplies on hand, and as an active, athletic family, we love spending time outdoors. Your dog will enjoy plenty of fresh air, exercise, and outdoor play always in a safe and stimulating environment.

About: What sets me apart is my reliability, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals. I treat every pet like my own- making sure they're not just safe, but also happy, and well cared for. I follow instructions closely and communicate clearly with pet owners. Pet care is an important part of my daily and waekly routine. I currently care for my own dog, Boston Terrier, who is 15. Her name is Lola. I make sure she is fed, walked and taken care of. Since she's a senior dog, I make sure I stay alert to her health and behavior. I make sure my dog has a clean, safe space, fresh food, and water, regular exercise as she permits, and lots of hugs and kisses. I make sure they are comfortable and well-monitored throughout the day.

About: As an experienced pet-owner and dog walker, I understand the different needs of a variety of dogs. From taking care of my German Shepherds, Pitt/Boxer mix and Jug (Jack Russell Terrier/Pug), I have learned to read the body language of dogs and can cater to their specific needs. As a sitter, I will ensure your dog receives ample attention and exercise, and is comfortable in a new environment. I have experience boarding in the past, and understand the responsibility of having someone’s pet in my care. I will treat your pet as if it’s my own! As a walker, I will adventure with your pooch, giving them the appropriate amount of movement and fresh air they need to stay happy until their parent(s) return. My apartment is pet-friendly and kept clean for optimal safety and comfort. I am currently in between jobs so am very flexible and can cater to your needs. I have a car and can travel as well. I treat all clients homes with respect and am observant of my surroundings. We can go over any ground rules together beforehand to ensure clear communication.

“Kevin was very responsive and punctual and sent lots of pictures. A huge relief compared to other sitters I booked with on Rover in the past.”


About: My journey in pet care began in 2016 when I brought home a golden doodle who quickly became part of the family. Over time, I developed a deep understanding of how pets, whether dogs, cats, or other companions, bring comfort, joy, and emotional support to the people who love them. I ultimately chose to have her stay with my ex-husband so she could be a consistent source of support for our daughter during her time with him. Since then, I’ve cared for a variety of animals, each with their own unique personalities and needs. I’m calm, attentive, and patient, and I always take the time to make sure pets feel safe, cared for, and comfortable in my care, whether I’m walking them, feeding them, playing with them, or simply keeping them company. I work from home three days a week, so I’m around during the day to give your pets attention, playtime, and care. I’m also fully available on weekends for walks, drop-ins, or boarding. My flexible schedule allows me to tailor care to your pet’s needs, whether that means midday cuddles, structured walks, or keeping your pet company while you’re away. I take a calm, caring approach to every pet I look after, whether I’m visiting your home or caring for them in mine. I live in a townhouse with plenty of walking paths nearby, making it easy to give dogs the exercise they need. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique temperament and routine, and I always prioritize safety, cleanliness, and creating a stress-free environment wherever I provide care.

About: I watch my daughters dog whenever she goes away, took care of him as a puppy through senior. I am always very concerned that the animal is safe, fed and its needs are taken care of. I also do my best to keep it from harm. As a semi retired self-employed person, I can often adjust my schedule to accommodate the owners needs. I am easily reached my phone or email. I have a nice house and a large yard and plenty of space to run or to move around. It is always very comfortable, clean and quiet.

About: I have 2 dogs of my own who I help my mom take care of all the time. I also have 3 cats. I have always loved and cared deeply for animals. Dogs are the best, I love seeing dogs and cats! I work part-time at the moment, and I’m looking for something I can do on the side. I love animals so I thought pet sitting and walking would be an amazing fit for myself. I love spending time with my animals and playing catch with them or snuggling. My mom goes on long walks with our dogs and I like to join her a lot of the time. I am very good with animals and know how to care for them

About: I've raised & trained 4 dogs and have taken care of neighbors pets along with my adult children's dogs. You have to live it and experience it in order to receive the rewards, handle the challenges & overall personalities of different breeds to be a successful care giver. My young adult children call me the Dog Whisperer. I'm retired in great shape and constantly do 2-3 mile hikes with dogs and they receive my undivided attention. Looking to bring some happiness and comfort to dogs, while allowing their owners the freedom & peace of mind knowing they have the best care possible. I've rescued several dogs in distress that weren't in my care, but came upon situations where the dog was in trouble and the owner didn't know how to respond. I'm retired and don't travel often. My wife is an RN in the local school district and we really only do occasional trips through out New England. She also works the school summer programs, so I have a lot of free time and open to all hours of the day and night. Prefer to take care of pets at owners home, but can make an occasional exception. I spend a lot of time at different parks like Hopkinton State, Veterans Freedom in Westboro, and other natural conservation sites.

catherine s.
“I have known Cathy for years. Her love of all animals is integral to her core being. I have seen her love and sacrifice for her own pets, but also for others she cares for. She has shared her experience with pets under her care (cats, dogs and donkeys) including their personalities with me (showing her love to know them and make them comfortable with her, more than a check list of change water, feed and time to do their business,,,,). I have a friend who inherited a parrot when a close friend of theirs passed. They normally would go on a summer vacation family gathering. While I had cared for their garden and feed the cats a parrot was beyond what I was comfortable with and they couldn’t find an alternative to house the parrot (they really didn’t want to upset his routines as he was finally get comfortable in his new home to board him, not to mention unsure trust for a boarding location), I asked Cathy if she had experience with birds and she did, I setup a meeting for my friends and the parrot to get to know Cathy. They decided they were comfortable enough with Cathy and went on vacation. On return they expressed how happy they were the parrot was also happy and looking well cared for.”
