About: I’ve been pet-sitting for over 20 years! Neighbors, colleagues, family, and friends have relied on me to look after their pets during long and short intervals. Every pet parent knows what it’s like to need an extra hand with their pets, whether it’s an extra check-in or potty break for senior dogs and cats, to some couch time spent with them during a long trip. I like to make sure people come home to a happy pet and that they feel reassured of their pets’ safety and comfort while they’re away! I’m not working during the summer, which means I’m free anytime to spend quality time with your pets. I’m an early riser! Always happy to get a walk in before the sun heats everything up. From September to June I work in an elementary school, which leaves me with a lot of flexible time to walk dogs, cuddle cats, bring in the mail, water the plants, and anything else you need! I will take care of your pets and your home as if they were my own. That means safety is always my top priority for your creatures and your house. I will respect the rules of your house, and do my best to alleviate any concerns you have about being away- frequent check-ins, photo updates, etc. My goal is to provide maximum peace of mind for my clients.

About: I grew up in a home with many dogs & cats. At one point we had 3 dogs, 2 cats, 7 Guinea pigs, 3 rabbits & a 150 gallon fish tank full of koi fish. As an adult I have also had a house full of pets. Presently, we have 2 dogs, 1 cat & 1 Axolotl. My pets tend to live long healthy lives, my last 2 cats passed at the ages of 22 & 19 years of age. I am a retired nurse who would enjoy filling my time with fur-friends. I am presently retired & free most days of the week. I love animals and have 2 dogs of my own. I love caring for & playing with animals. I walk my 2 dogs daily on their tandem leash. However I also have a large fenced in yard that they meander about at their Leisure. I will care for your animals as if they were my own & provide them with the care they need.

About: I am a huge animal lover I have dog and cat sat for multiple different families since I was 13 and would love to continue to do so throughout this summer I am currently working for myself as a gardener so I have plenty of time throughout my week to take care of any kind of pet. I make my own schedule so I can move my work around to fit different walking times and visiting times etc. I have a 6 month old puppy of my own so I have plenty of experience as well as patience when it comes to taking care of dogs and I also have two cats that I grew up with and love hanging out with them whenever I can. I would prefer to take care of your pets in their own home to maximize their comfort while their people are away or at work.

“I highly recommend Guillermo! He is always punctual, extremely reliable, and genuinely caring towards our lovely Mylo. His passion for animals is evident, and it gives us great peace of mind knowing our dog is in such good hands. Each walk is followed by a thoughtful update with pictures, which we greatly appreciate !!!”

About: My name is Betina, and I live in North Andover, MA—a community I truly love and proudly advocate for. Although I grew up in South Florida, my passion for animals has followed me everywhere. I even used Rover back then, and I still believe it’s a wonderful way to connect caring pet parents with trustworthy caregivers. My love for animals began in childhood. I used to knock on neighbors’ doors asking if they needed their dogs walked or washed. Growing up, I shared my home with cats, reptiles, rodents, and fish—and I still have fish today. I truly adore them. I attended a zookeeping camp where I helped care for and train elephants, and I spent my summers at Circle F Dude Ranch, where I proudly served as the rodeo drill team captain. Animals have always been my calling. One of my favorite childhood memories is inviting all the neighborhood cats over for my cat’s birthday party. As an adult, I’ve built extensive professional experience in animal care. I’ve worked in pet stores, volunteered at animal shelters, and been part of doggy daycare teams. I proudly graduated from Merryfield School of Pet Grooming and continue to expand my knowledge through online education and attending AKC dog shows. I worked at Petco for 10 years, gaining hands-on experience with a wide range of animals and pet needs. I also took full responsibility for my mother’s dog, Jackson, who was diabetic, blind, deaf, and struggled with high anxiety. I administered insulin injections twice daily and managed his long-term trazodone medication with care and dedication. One of my own dogs, Bandit, suffered from chronic ear infections, which required daily treatment. I’ve also lovingly nursed newborn puppies until they were healthy and ready for adoption—and yes, I still have the pictures. They were absolutely adorable. I am CPR certified and hold animal safety certifications. Caring for animals isn’t just what I do—it’s who I am, and it’s been at the heart of my life for as long as I can remember. This is my business . I have open, flexible availability because caring for pets is my full-time career. As a business owner, my focus is entirely on your pets’ needs. This is not a hobby or a temporary job—it’s what I do professionally. With experience, education, and genuine passion, I aim to be every pet’s favorite person when you’re away. I’m passionate about pet sitting and grooming in home to make the pets comfortable and happy. In home pet sitting and grooming also eliminates the hassle of transporting pets , no more wasting gas, no more car sick pets, no more struggling in and out of the car. No more leaving your pet in a strange place and In a kennel all day. Another advantage of in home pet sitting and grooming is you know your pet will be in a clean safe environment. No dog fights or over crowded environments. Best of all your pet will feel secure in their own home. That’s why I come to you and become part of your pets family. Your pets and I will have lots of time to bond. I take the necessary time to get to know your pet and their routine. I give them my whole undivided individual attention with my whole heart. So your pet gets the care and love your pet deserves.
