Welcome to
Loving Paws Petcare!
Hi, I'm Livie! I'm a dog walker and animal caregiver!
I walk dogs, do drop-ins, all-day's, overnights and now (selective) boarding with all sorts of indoor animals.
If you have any animals that aren't indoors, please reach out anyway! I'll see what I can do.
I'd love to take care of your family critters, even if you're at home, working, or on vacation!

Questions
FAQ's!
• Q: Do you do boarding at all?
• A: Yes! However, I must know the animal(s) for a while before agreeing to anything. My cat doesn't really like other animals so I will be very picky.
• Q: Do I still need to pay each pet price even if you don't need to feed them (automatic feeder) or directly take care of them?
• A: Nope! You only pay each pet price as long as I need to feed them and take care of them directly (including cleaning their area), and we can discuss this privately based on the animal in question!
• Q: What if I need a last minute/emergency service?
• A: Contact me! This is 50/50 chance rate based on my at-the-time availability.
• Q: I have (a) small critter(s) (small turtles, lizards, fish, chickens, ducks, smaller birds, etc.), what do they classify as?
• A: If they're in the same tank/cage/close-by area as each other, and can be fed at the exact same time, then they qualify as one pet! (Cat prices unless specified otherwise)
• Q: What do bigger animals (bunnies, large birds, large turtles, horses, etc.) classify as?
• A: Individual bigger animals count as one animal each. (Dog prices unless specified otherwise, like cats)
• Q: What are the basic things I need to provide for you?
• A: Depending on the service chosen, and what animal it includes, the basics are: Food Info, Leash, Harness/Collar, Poop bags if necessary, and treats if wanted!
• Q: Do you accept tips?
• A: I do! I won't ever expect them or ask for them, but if you happen to give me extra (on purpose) I will gratefully accept it. Don't ever think a tip is required, because it isn't.
~ I don't charge extra for Holidays, like Christmas. I've been told I should, but I feel like money gets tighter around holidays so I choose not to. Extra is a choice, not an expectation.
• Q: Refund policy?
• A: If I'm in the middle of driving to your home or at your home and the service has been canceled, half of the payment will be needed to cover the trip!
• Q: What are your available hours during the day?
• A: Unless you're 15 minutes or less of a driving time from where I am CURRENTLY at (overnights included, so please make sure to check and make sure), my hours start at 8 AM & end ~9:30 to 10 PM. If there's a slot for times before or after then, it is because they're in that less than 15 minute range.If you have any other questions, and don't have my number already, please contact my email at

Fees
Driving!
• If you are not in a 30 minute (or less) radius around Hubbardston, MA, then it is an extra $5 for every extra 5 minutes driven (discussed directly).
• If I am not currently IN Hubbardston (due to an overnight or some other situation), fees are still the same, but using the home I am at as the starting point.
• If I am in a different area, and you are more than 30 minutes from me, and you want an early walk (~8/9 AM), and cannot wait to be on my later route, driving fees still apply.[Example - if you are 34 minutes from where I am currently located, and want a 30 min walk with 1 dog, it would be $25 instead of $20, as the 34 minutes would be rounded up to 35 minutes]

Boardings!
Prices are for ONE night at a time
Please double check the FAQ for any questions you may have!• One dog - $60 ( $20 more for each dog )At my home, I can, unfortunately, only allow one other animal unless an exception is made by myself. I have a cat that doesn't really like other animals so I don't want to stress him out with another hyper animal. Currently I only want to board dogs, as I do not want to somehow lose a small cat in my home.[Also, I need to have known the animals for a while beforehand before agreeing to a Boarding]

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I found Livie through the town page on FB & I'm so happy that we did! She's the best dog watcher I've had & I was actually able to take a worry free vacation for the 1st time since having the dogs. She's responsible, responsive, communicates, is super caring & always checks in with pictures that help make the day go by with a smile. The dogs give her 5 paws and we 100% recommend her!Client since: August 2024

The Riddells
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️We couldn’t be happier with Loving Paws! Livie has stayed overnight in our home and immediately made us feel at ease with her professionalism, trustworthiness, and warm personality. Our dogs absolutely adore her — it was clear she has a natural connection with animals. She keeps us updated with photos and messages, and we come home to relaxed, happy dogs and a spotless house. It’s such a relief to know our dogs are in such capable hands. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate pet sitter. Five stars all the way!Client since: September 2024

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Livie did a great job caring for Ryder and Lexi. We appreciated her and felt comfortable leaving them in her expert care. We’ll reach out again. Highly recommend.Client since: June 2025
Olivia & Josie
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I highly recommend Livie! She is amazing with both dogs and cats. She really cares about your pets, and always goes above and beyond with updates and photos!When she comes by to walk my 120 lb dog, Josie, she always lets me know how my three kitties are doing as well.Josie loves her and Livie has no problem handling her- even when she was a crazy 80-90 pound puppy! Josie is always tuckered out after her walks so I know she is letting my scent-hound do lots of sniffing while they are walking. :)She has helped me out several times last minute when I’ve been in a pinch, as well as being very reliable when you need her for more regularly scheduled walks and visits.Client since: November 2024
Patti
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Livie is responsible and took care of my 2 cats like they were her own. Being new to leaving my cats alone for a week with a "cat sitter", I felt comfortable doing this as she did what was asked of her and she even sent a photo! She also charges fair prices.Client since: June 2025

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Livie is wonderful with our pets. They enjoy being with her and both my husband and I have been completely comfortable trusting her with our pets and our home. Would not hesitate to recommend her for your pets care.Client since: April 2024
Karen
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Livie has been watching our Trixie for several years. Trixie is always excited when Livie comes over. She’s a very caring, compassionate and loving pet sitter. She had a connection with Trixie from the moment they met. Trixie is very needy with hugs and pats and Livie never gets tired of her endless requests. I can always rely on Livie and know when we go on vacation that Trixie is her priority. I know Trixie’s in good hands while we’re away. Livie is dependable and reliable as well as a good communicator. Trixie loves Livie and highly recommends her for all your pet sitting needs.Client since: June 2021
