House Sitting in Worthington

“Janet did a great job with the pups and with the house. Janet sent photos every day and kept us informed as to how the dogs were fairing. Both the dogs and the house were in perfect condition when we returned home. Thank you so much!”

“Trista took amazing care of our two girls during our long weekend in Pennsylvania - she sent photos regularly so we could see how they were getting along with her and that they were having fun while we were away. We will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Saige was amazing and took such great care of our fur baby. Isla is a 10 yo aussie shephard and full of energy and mischief. Saige was wonderful with her and I would HIGHLY recommend putting Saige's talents to work with your fur baby.”

“Kelly & Nabil are exceptional sitters. They left our home spotless, sent photos of our pets and took great care of them. Our pup was sad to see them go, we feel so fortunate to have found such loving and caring pet sitters!”

About: Hello! I am a lifelong pet owner and animal lover with experience with everything from chickens and horses to cats and dogs. I have two canine family members myself: a medium-sized mix named Bonnie and a 10-pound Italian Greyhound/chihuahua named Rio. I know how hard it can be to find loving, reliable, and safe pet setters, which prompted me to open up my own home. My dogs love meeting new friends to play with. They get along well with others (though we always require a meet-and-greet before a sit) and are friendly with cats as well. My work-from-home career and spacious property allows me the flexibility to fully care for your pet without any interruptions such as commutes or 9-5 work hours. I am fortunate to enjoy a fully remote, flexible career, which means I am always present for your canine or feline family members. I can accommodate short or long-term stays, and am home throughout the day to maintain your pet's schedule, so they feel completely at home. I think it's important to a pet's sense of wellbeing to be able to keep to their usual schedule as best as possible while in my care. I live on five acres in a log home in a beautiful hilltown in Western Massachusetts, and have a fully fenced yard. I love taking my own pup on daily walks on our property or on nearby dirt roads, so if you have an active dog who needs exercise, I'm your person! If a less active lifestyle is better for your dog, I can fully accommodate that as well. Pets are allowed on my furniture and can make themselves cozy by my wood stove in winter or on my sunny deck in summer. I am familiar with using crates (if desired, but not required) and have a large finished basement perfect for playtime in the winter months.

“Lori is great! She totally understands our dog's temperament and took him on many adventures while we were away. We think he had more fun than we did!”

“All I can say is that she is AMAZING!! My Roofus has serious separation issues and that is why we decided to try an at home sitter because it may help his anxiety. Well roofus was the happiest puppy when we got home with no signs of distress. She went above and beyond spoiling all 3 of our babies. She did more for them then we do normally and that makes her services top notch. My home seems cleaner than we left and she even checked our mail and other things around the house. She will definitely have our trust and future business! Can’t thank her enough for the care and love she gave our babies!!”

“Erin did a great job taking care of our dog and house. Our dog was healthy and happy when we returned home and our house was exactly as we had left it. We hope Erin is available the next time we travel.”

About: I have cared and worked with cats and dogs since a young age. I will take my time to get to know your animals and they will trust and look forward to seeing me! I work as an educator, so my summer is open and super flexible. In July, I will be working from 8:30am - 12pm Monday through Thursday. Either way, I am a morning person. I love waking up and relaxing on the couch with the animals drinking some coffee or tea, and then spending the day on the couch or outside running around depending on their mood. I fully communicate with clients to ensure set boundaries and specific pet care needs. I can be hands on and active, or simply a presence in the room to ease anxiety.

“Matt and Ziggy had a great time together while I was out of town for the weekend. Matt was also a great housesitter; he left my place spotless.”

“Ace is our go to person for our very anxious yet adorable Beagle. Our pup is so well taken care of by Ace. We have no worries when they are on the job!”

“Julie was amazingly flexible, as our schedule was unknown, and was there when we needed her. More importantly, she was good with Ricky, took him out for walks as well as for his sanitary needs, and kept us regularly informed, with pictures. If we are in the area again we will seek her to assist us, and Ricky, again.”

About: I have cared for many pets my whole life. I love meeting new animals and learning about each and every personality. Had or cared for cats, dogs, and small animals, and willing to meet more! I am available most days and some nights. I can provide early morning care and mid day care, and night care but often after 10pm. I am always attentive to animal body language and keep an eye on how they are feeling in the environment or around me. I follow the guidlines closely that are given by owners on how to care for their pet.

About: My family owns and operates a Labrador breeding business and kennel, located in a small slice of heaven in the hill towns. I have been living, breathing, and loving dogs for my entire life and find immense joy simply being around them! I have several years of experience at a boarding facility where I was able to expand my knowledge on any different breed, size, age, temperament and disabilities! I am comfortable with all dogs at any life stages, ranging from a few hours old to sweet elderlies. I am also able to react quickly to any situation and have a solid history of preventing and intervening real fights safely between several dogs. I am available at you and your pets desire! I am able to stay in home and/or overnight, or simply check in! My car is my main way of travel, and has safely transported many pups to their playdates! Care in my clients home includes purely love and sticking to the routine that your pet knows the best! My client will also receive the utmost amount of reassurance and open communication because I understand on a personal level how difficult it is to leave your baby in someone else's hands.

About: I’ve spent the last 5 years working in professional dog kennels in Berlin, MA, and I currently work at a local kennel here in western MA. During that time, I’ve cared for dogs of every size, age, and personality. From shy seniors who need gentle patience to high energy wiggle butts who never slow down. As a kennel supervisor, I’ve handled dogs with medical needs, administered medications safely and on schedule, and monitored behavior to keep every pup calm and comfortable. I’ve also been trusted to run the kennel independently, managing feeding routines, cleaning, enrichment, and safety from open to close. Now, I’m excited to bring that same level of professional, loving care into your home. Whether your dog needs a simple walk, extra patience, medication support, or someone who treats them like family, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved one walk, one wag, one kiss at a time. I just graduated from college and I’m working hard to save for my first home! This means I’m going to spend my days doing something I genuinely love, which is caring for pups. My schedule is flexible and I’m available almost every day of the week. I offer plenty of walking and drop‑in options throughout the week, and I’m always happy to work with you to find times that fit your dog’s routine. Whether your pup needs a quick potty break, a long walk, or some extra love while you’re away, I’m here to help. Availability: • Most weekdays: mornings, evenings, and some mid‑day slots depending on my kennel shifts • Weekends: flexible around my kennel shifts • Nearly every day available with advance request! Now that school is behind me, I’m able to take on more walks, drop‑ins, and extended care. I love what I do, and I’m committed to giving your pets reliable, loving, stress free care every single visit. <3 When I’m caring for pets in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal, comforting, and stress‑free as possible. I follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and understood while you’re away. Here’s what you can expect: Routine‑Focused Care: I stick to your pet’s usual feeding, walking, play, and medication schedule so everything feels familiar and calm. Clear Instructions Welcomed: Written instructions, whether on paper or by text, are always helpful. I’m happy to follow detailed routines, special notes, or anything that keeps your pet comfortable. Open Communication: I keep communication easy and consistent. If anything comes up or you’d like updates, I’m always reachable and responsive. Photos Included: I send pictures and check ins so you can see how your furry family member is doing and feel connected while you’re away. Walks & Outdoor Time: I tailor every walk to what your dog enjoys, whether it’s relaxed neighborhood strolls, peaceful nature walks, or extra sniff‑time to burn off energy. Medication & Special Care: In my personal and professional experience, I am very comfortable with pets (cats or dogs!) who have medical conditions, including administering medications safely and on time (even insulin). Clean & Comfortable Spaces: I keep litter boxes clean, fluff up dog beds, refresh water bowls, tidy feeding areas, and make sure your pet’s space stays cozy and stress‑free. Behavior Awareness: With my kennel background, I’m trained to read body language and keep pets comfortable, especially shy, senior, or anxious animals. My goal is simple to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved until you’re home again.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and currently have a 6-month-old chocolate lab, so I’m very comfortable with puppies, high energy dogs, and daily routines like feeding, walking, and playtime. I understand how important it is to keep dogs active, safe, and on schedule. I’m very responsible and attentive, and I treat every dog like my own. I can handle everything from basic care to more active dogs that need extra attention and exercise. I’m also comfortable following specific instructions to make sure your pet stays happy and comfortable while you’re away. I’m currently a college student with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to care for and spend time with your dog. I’m available most weekdays after classes and have more open availability on weekends. I’m used to managing a routine with my own 6-month-old chocolate lab, so I’m consistent with feeding, walks, and playtime. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every dog like my own and make sure they are always supervised, safe, and well cared for. I have experience handling a high-energy puppy, so I’m comfortable with active dogs and different temperaments. I follow any instructions you provide closely to keep your dog on their normal routine and make sure they feel comfortable while you’re away.

About: I’ve had pets since I was about 4 years old, and am experienced with caring for cats and dogs. Any needs they have, I will take care of them all - from simple company when you're at work, to walks, giving meds and overnight stays! I have experience training puppies too, from potty training to the classic "stay", "sit", "come", "leave" etc. commands. I have a large dog myself so size of your pet is no issue. Anything you're unsure about, shoot me a message! I work full time at a school but am free weekdays after 2pm until around 10pm. On weekends I am free from Friday afternoon until Monday morning so I can do overnight stays too if needed. Depending on the care required, I will feed pets, give them meds, take them outside, play games/fetch/etc., brush them, empty litter boxes and so on. I have had several cats and dogs of my own and cared for many more, so I am comfortable with adjusting to their different personality types.
