About: I’m a recent medical school grad looking to work with pets in my free time before starting residency. I am able to provide dog walks and drop-in visits for cats and dogs near Worcester. I have been caring for dogs, cats, horses, and chickens since I was young, and I’m comfortable adapting to a wide range of pet personalities and care needs. I’m reliable, punctual, communicative, and detail-oriented. I always prioritize safety and am happy to follow any routines, cues, or specific instructions you provide. I am currently on a break from school/work! I have plenty of free time and flexibility to care for your pets before June 15, 2026. I am able to accept most last-minute requests! I’m happy to walk your dog on a sidewalk, path, hiking trail, or or-leash in a park. Out of abundant caution, I do not take clients’ dogs to dog parks or allow dogs off leash outside of fenced-in yards/areas. I do not take cats outdoors.
“Gabriela was excellent! She was very responsive and our pup was in great hands with her! Our 7 month old puppy had a blast on her walk and we will certainly reach out to Gabriela in the future”
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).
“Caitlin arrived on time and supplied answers to all of my questions. Meet and greet was useful for me to get more comfortable with the person who was going to walk Bells”
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.
“John, has come in clutch a number of times when we’ve had last minute plans (which is often for my family). He provides great updates and images that allow us to see how well he’s taking care of Marley!”
“Logan has been absolutely amazing with my dog, Milo! His communication is excellent — he always keeps me updated with messages and photos from their walks, which gives me peace of mind. He’s incredibly responsible and caring, and it’s clear that he truly loves spending time with the dogs he walks. Milo is always excited to see him.”
“Lila is excellent with our dog Aspen. From the moment Lila arrived until she was finished with the walk I could see that she has a genuine love for Aspen and is a natural when it comes to taking care of pets in general.”
About: When I had my two dogs I would watch them whenever I needed to and would provide the care that they needed. I love all dogs and will pet them whenever I get the chance. If I can be around dogs/ cats I will be. I like to take my own dogs for walks and exercise/ do physical activity with them daily. A lot of my family members have dogs and I like to spend quality time with them and be with them when I have the chance. As an athlete myself I understand the importance of exercise if a dog needs to go for a run I am more than happy to take them for one so we both can enjoy our time together. I’m looking forward to hopefully spending time with some new furry friends! I am going to be on summer break and work at my job every other Saturday and Sunday from 3-7 as a definite schedule and weekly shifts can vary based on the week. Depending on if I have work or not my availability will be different. I have a fenced in yard and lots of experience with taking care of animals as I have had a variety of different pets. I know how important pets are to families, so I would never put one in harms way.
“Always wonderful to have Haleigh come over to see our dog for some extra love, a walk, and feed both the dog/cat their dinner. Thanks so much for helping with the “kids” this weekend”
“Paul is great! My dog has special needs and Paul went out of his way to learn how to help him before he even met my dog! He’s really trustworthy and devoted to animals and I appreciate him so much! My dog adores Paul so much and I feel so lucky to have found him to look after Georgie when I’m not able to”
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 apartment ideal for dogs who prefer a relaxed environment. My neighborhood is dog friendly with many sidewalks to explore during walks.
About: When it comes to pet care, what sets me apart from other sitters is my dedication and compassion, coupled with professional expertise in house training, senior care, medication administration, and regular photo updates, ensuring complete peace of mind for pet owners. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily and weekly routine as I prioritize early mornings, nights, and weekends for providing exceptional care. I am flexible with the amount of time dedicated to each pet, ensuring it aligns with the preferences of their owners. By closely following the parents’ established schedule for feeding, walking, playtime, and medication, I strive to maintain consistency and cater to their pets’ needs. As I work full time, pet sitting allows me to indulge my passion while accommodating my professional commitments. Currently, I am unable to provide pet care services in my own home; however, I offer dedicated pet care in clients’ homes. When entering and exiting a clients’ home, I prioritize security by ensuring all doors are securely locked. Additionally, I take the time to check up on the pet periodically to ensure their safety and well-being. If there are any specific accommodations required for your pet, I am more then willing to discuss and make necessary arrangements.

Caitlin has a calming influence on my pups and they were set to go when she arrived. My sweet girl is elderly and deaf. Caitlin’s steady confidence put her right at ease. My younger guy took a bit of coaxing because of separation fears when he leaves me, but, They all had a lovely walk.
Rebecka has been the best with our little Pug. He is very high energy and she is patient with him and loves on him. She communicates throughly with us about his walks and sends us so many photos! She works with our schedule (along with hers) to ensure she is able to take care of Chip. We are so happy to find someone we trust to take care of our little guy!
Spencer was great with my last-minute need for a walker and was very responsive and accommodating to my specific needs that day. I really appreciated the notes in the Rover card about his walk, behaviors, and bathroom schedule to make my evening easier when I got home. Thank you so much for walking Zero!
