About: I've loved taking care of animals since I was a child, starting with my first pets - parakeets named Larry Bird and Miss Piggy. They were followed by rabbits, a beagle and primarily for the last few years, cats. I'm currently providing doggy day care for a neighbor during the week. I'm currently looking after my father and can easily take care of your pups during the morning, afternoons or early evenings. My availability is very flexible. I live in a condominium community, which is largely quiet with plenty of great places to walk (fields, trails and a designated dog park nearby).
About: I’ve taken care of different pets since I was 9. In my childhood I had Guinea pigs, hamsters, rats and two cats. Currently, I have a wonderful Bombay girl cat, she is curious and friendly so boarding is possible if your cat like other cats too :) I’m currently working 8am-3pm. On the weekend my husband and I sometimes go out, but most of the time I’m free and ready to be with your pet :) Any and all instructions that you leave for me will be followed with care to keep your pet happy. I adhere to their regular feeding schedule, provide fresh water, maintain their usual exercise routines and engage them in activities they enjoy.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. Along with years of pet sitting for friends and family, I worked as a veterinary assistant for 2 years and am now in veterinary school. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a gentler pace. I have experience with medication administration, animal handling, and recognizing signs of stress or discomfort, but my biggest priority is making pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I will be completing an internship, but I will be available on weekends for pet sitting. I also have availability in the evenings and on weekends for dog walks and drop-in visits, making it easy to provide consistent care around my schedule. For cat care, I am able to provide boarding in my home where I ensure a safe, calm, and comfortable environment. For dogs, I provide care in the client’s home, where I follow all instructions closely and respect the home as if it were my own. I prioritize maintaining each pet’s normal routine and making sure they feel secure and well cared for.
About: I treat every dog like my own and will always go the extra mile whenever possible. I will always follow any directions given and provide updates after each visit. I would be more than happy to walk and/or check in with any dog(s) and / or other pets any day before 2pm throughout each week. I plan to both offer dog walking services as well as care for dogs in the clients’ home. I will always follow any directions given and provide updates.
About: I have taken care of pets and houses through TrustedHouseSitters since 2022. I have completed over 13 sits and have a 5 star rating. I have taken care of many cats and dogs of various ages and sizes, including golden retrievers, labs, Irish water spaniel, Yorkshire terriers, Maltese, pomeranians, Scottish terrier, Bichon/Poodle and mutts of many varieties. I respect a pet's schedule and aim to make them as comfortable as possible. I can handle reactive dogs while on walks. I can administer medications in pill or powder form if the pet is compliant. I love brushing animals if the pet is willing. Personally, I had 2 wonderful medium size dogs growing up. Sadie (German shephard and collie mix) and Mindy (collie and mystery mix) taught me compassion, patience and so many tricks. As an adult, I adopted my first cat in 2026. While I did not grow up in a cat family, if felt like a rite of passage as a librarian. I am thoroughly enjoying being a cat mom to an incredibly talkative and playful cat. He is very opinionated and craves human interaction. I work full time so I will typically only be available for overnights, walks or check-ins on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. For cat check-ins, I may be able to accommodate weekdays depending on your location. I have taken care of animals in their own home for over 4 years. I like to follow owner instructions as closely as possible because it is will make the pet most comfortable. I always use caution when entering/exiting the home and while walking dogs.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a kid. My dog passed a few years ago and I would love to be able to help others with their dogs and give them love! I have dog sat numerous times for family and friends, I genuinely enjoy taking care of pets. I have a gecko and chinchilla, so if there are other pets in the house no worries. I’m very excited to get to know you and your dogs! I currently work full time at a college in Worcester county. I am free most nights and weekends, I also work from home on Wednesdays so my schedule is more flexible then. I take the safety and security of your home and your pets very seriously. I will make all the necessary precautions and double check I have secured your home prior to departure so you and your pet are safe!

About: Hello and thank you for visiting my profile! You clicked on THE absolute best pet-sitter you will ever find. My name is Amy, and I LOVE ANIMALS. I've had pets since childhood; dogs, cats, gerbils, hamsters, lizards, bunnies, fish, ferrets, and turtles. Most of my pets are rescued. I'm a great dog walker- I will take your dog for a lengthy walk, (or a slow stroll for my older clients) and I will provide him/her with attention, love, and affection. According to their needs, I can sit with your pet to offer comfort and companionship, or romp around on the floor or in the yard for exercise and stimulation. My visits can be tailored to your requests. I'm reliable, trustworthy, and committed. Your pet's health and safety come first. I will take pictures during my visits (or videos, if you'd like) so you know your pet is being cared for. If you have a cat, I will bring toys for stimulating activity, or simply sit with him/her and offer a comforting presence. I also care for gerbils, hamsters, bunnies, birds, and turtles. If you have fish, I will feed them, and give them attention. (Yes, I connect with fish.) I understand animals. I relate to them. I'm intuitive to their needs. And of course, I have great references. There is no better pet-sitter on the planet than me. I look forward to meeting you and your precious family member! I'm currently available on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. I can be flexible in the morning, afternoon, or early evening hours. If you need more than one visit per day, that can be arranged as well. I will show up with great energy, a calming presence, and toys to play with (according to your pet's needs.) I'm not like other pet sitters- I really spend TIME with your pets. I'm intuitive and understand their needs. For younger pets, I offer lots of play and exercise- stimulation is important! I'm physically fit and would be happy to walk your dog if requested. After the walk, I will sit with him/her and offer my affection and attention. I will refresh their water bowl, feed them, (if requested) offer a treat, (if requested) brush them, play with them, or simply sit with them and be a calming presence in their day. It all depends on your pet's needs. I cater to their behavior and energy. If you have other pets in your home (gerbils, fish, turtles, bunnies, birds, etc) I would consider caring for them during your vacations. All to be discussed and negotiated, of course. As you can see from my profile, I'm very accommodating and flexible, and I offer a wide range of services. For overnight visits, my rate reflects a time frame from 8pm-7am. If you need me to do day visits as well, please explain in the messaging section when you contact me.

“Erica was great to work with! It was so nice to know our fur babies were being cared for while we were out of town allowing us to relax and enjoy our vacation! The picture updates were comforting. Looking forward to booking Erica again!”

“I could not ask for a better dog sitter! Between the care, concern and communication ,I felt very comfortable leaving my fuzzy baby with Paul! I will definitely use him again. He’s very reliable!!!”

About: Hi there! With a lifelong passion for animals, I enjoy providing a caring home for pets. My experience includes behavior observation to ensure your dog feels safe and loved. A typical day includes your dog’s feeding and potty routine, walks, and any other regimens that help your dog feel comfortable. I am home full time during the week. I live in a large triplex ideal for dogs who prefer a relaxed environment. My neighborhood is dog friendly with many grass and tree lined sidewalks to sniff and explore during walks.
About: My love for animals started when I was little. I grew up helping take care of my own family dog. At the age of 18 I adopted my first dog and was solely responsible for her care. I’ve always helped out family members and neighbors with their animals. I also worked at Davis Farmland which gives me experience with many different animals. I tend to pet sit for people who have multiple animals. I take care of 4 dogs and a cat for a friend and it is my favorite job!! I also have experience cat sitting and bunny sitting! At the moment, I’m looking for work. I am hoping to make pet sitting a part time job or even full time job. It would make me so happy to work with animals every day! When caring for pets in a clients home, I make sure to have all the information needed to care for the pet(s) properly. Every animal is different but I’m confident I can always give the best care to any animal. I’m very responsible and will make sure the house stays clean and all doors stay locked.

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is that I truly treat every pet like my own. I currently care for two dogs — a Chihuahua and a Pekingese — so I have hands-on experience with feeding, walking, bathing, playtime, and maintaining daily routines. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs, whether they’re energetic, shy, or need a gentler approach. I also provide lots of affection, companionship, and updates so owners can feel comfortable knowing their pets are in good hands. I am currently a student so I am looking for a fun flexible job right now. I can work Monday- Sunday from the morning till about 7 in the afternoon. I have a fenced yard and I also own three dogs so your dog will be far from lonely but if needed I have dog gates to separate the dogs just in case there are any issues
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years, and it’s truly my passion. I love helping puppies learn, keeping senior pets comfortable, and giving extra love to anxious or special-needs pets. Working remotely lets me be present throughout the day, making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and cared for like they’re part of my own family. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine since I work remotely. I’m home most of the day, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, timely feedings, playtime, medication administration, and attentive care throughout the day rather than limited check ins. I care for pets by following their established routines to keep them comfortable and stress free. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I provide attentive supervision, timely feedings, playtime, litter box maintenance, medication administration if needed, and plenty of affection while respecting each pet’s boundaries and preferences.
Worcester dog parents share their Rover experiences
The fact that they even saw my second cat (who hides from truly everyone) demonstrates their kindness and consistency with my animals. They are prompt and communicative, and can handle both my high energy puppy and my timid cats. Truly awesome to have folks I trust who can check in on the pets, would definitely recommend.

Hannah was wonderful with Maisie! Despite the pouring rain, she took Maisie out for a walk and play time and was patient while she waited for her to go potty. Hannah was extremely communicative before, during and after the visit. We are so happy to have found Hannah and have already booked out next visit!

Rebecka has been taking care of our large lab for about a year (4 days a week). She has always been kind, responsible, and communicative with us and has been so loving and caring for a big goofy boy. We knew very quickly she genuinely loved him and would do anything for him. We absolutely trusted her and wish she could have stayed our pet sitter (unfortunately we moved away). Additionally, Arlo is a big strong boy and she was able to handle him no problem. She is definitely experienced with caring for animals and we would recommend her to anyone! Thank you so much Rebecka, we will miss you!

I highly recommend Anna for any “dog-tending” needed in Worcester! She was able to drop-in for visits with my dog on such a short notice and went above and beyond to take her on walks, send photos/videos, and provide me with updates while I was away. Couldn’t have been easier, thanks Anna!

We love Katie and will definitely be asking her to care for our cuddlebug pup again. She was very reliable and our dog’s joy was showing through every Rover card. We have a backyard, but she still took our strong and still leash-training pup on daily walks. Above and beyond care!

Shanley has gone above and beyond the call of duty in caring for my 84 year old mom’s pugs. First, Shanley was quick to respond and communication is easy. She’s helping with a pug who is disabled and needs help walking to get outside. We appreciate Shanley’s care so much at a time of great need.
Judy is incredible!!!! Our dog is very skittish around new people and takes a while to warm up. Judy was so patient and kind with her and was great about moving at our dog where she was at! She sent lots of updates and photos and gave our kitty lots of loving too!
