www.buddysitting.com Ever since I was a child, I’ve had a deep love for animals, and I always knew that my passion would eventually become my life's work. I began my journey at the age of 14 by volunteering at a local shelter, and by 16, I landed my first job working in a kennel. I went on to study Animal Science at Middlesex Community College and later Biology at the University of Massachusetts. Over the years, I’ve worked as a Veterinary Nurse at several reputable small animal hospitals across Massachusetts. While my love for veterinary medicine remains strong, I realized my true calling was with dogs. Instead of focusing on their physical health in a clinic, I wanted to help dogs feel their happiest and healthiest by addressing both their physical and mental well-being. I founded Buddy Sitting eight years ago, inspired by my late dog Buddy, who will forever hold a special place in my heart. I adopted him while working at a kennel that also housed local strays. During my time there, I noticed many animals would refuse to eat, cower, or display fearful behaviors. This observation led me to create a service focused on the dogs who struggled in social settings, offering pet sitting in the comfort of their own home. Since then, my business has evolved, and while we still offer at-home pet sitting, we now focus primarily on dog walking and training. Buddy Sitting is a unique alternative to traditional doggy daycare. We offer dogs the chance to explore the outdoors and experience new environments that stimulate their senses. After completing a detailed intake form to assess your pet’s individual needs, I tailor each experience to ensure they have a fulfilling, safe, and enjoyable time. With less time spent in cages and more opportunities for socialization, our goal is to help your dog learn good manners and feel mentally and physically enriched. Our adventures vary daily, giving dogs fresh sights, smells, and experiences. These excursions include, but are not limited to, trail walks, beach outings, mountain adventures, and even sleepovers. Buddy Sitting provides a peaceful and enriching experience for your dog while you take care of your own tasks, knowing they’re in good hands.

Too often I hear ‘What do I do?’ ‘Where do I go?’

We teach children to call 911 long before they ever need to because knowing what to do makes all the difference. My triage sheet works the same way; a clear plan to follow when something goes wrong in hopes to limit any panic.

This is general guidance, not a replacement for your vet.

& Happy opening weekend to Valiant Veterinary

Stress isn’t the enemy. Too much of it with no support and nothing to gain, is. Know your dog’s triggers, know what they can handle and take it slow.

And try not to take their reactions personally, use it as information and adjust your plan 📈🐾

7 years without you. You’ve now been gone almost as long as you were here.

Some days I look at what Buddy Sitting has become and think about all the bricks we laid together to get here. The more this business grows and the more confident I become, the more I realize how much of it stands on the foundation you gave me.

Here’s what surprised me: I’ve been running group socials for almost 20 years and never realized it was my niche until recently lol. Back then, it was just pure love, you and me and whatever dogs we could round up. Now I get to teach people and their dogs how to mingle, have a little fun and become respected members of the human world.

Who would’ve thought?

Getting to do this alongside so many other dogs has given me the most joyful memories of my life. Thank you for being my greatest friend and for guiding me to my purpose 🐾

If you’ve gotten this far, who was the dog that changed everything for you?

Okay, I’m officially behind on training shout-outs, so let’s catch up! 🐾

First up: Nala! 🎉

This girl just wrapped up TWO programs with me. We put in a lot of work on the basics, socialization, leash walking and recall. Nala used to get super over-excited and hyper-focus on other dogs and is a bit of a rough-and-rowdy girl (lol), so our big goal was helping her handle social settings in a calmer, healthier way.

She’s come so far! Huge congratulations to the Lazu family for putting in the work and trusting the process. So proud of you guys! 💛

When people hear “e-collar,” they often picture a shock collar and assume it feels like an invisible fence. That opens up a whole other set of questions for me but I’ll stay on track here lol

I like to educate my clients. I remember how I felt when I was first introduced to the concept so I let clients feel the sensation firsthand. It takes a lot of the anxiety away from the tool.

Verbal cues are great but they can be hard for a dog to follow when there’s a lot going on around them or they’re still learning. That’s where the e-collar can help. Used thoughtfully it gives your dog a clear consistent way to understand you and closes the communication gap between you and your companion.

Every dog is different so I tailor my approach to their personality, experience level and love language. Their comfort and wellbeing always comes first.

With that approach I’ve seen a lot of success.
