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.

“After our first week with Jamie, we can confidently say we are thrilled to have her! She is so attentive to our pup and we feel good knowing she’s in such good hands.”

About: Dogs have always been a part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I’ve cared for my own dogs through every stage of life, including senior dogs who needed extra patience and attention, as well as an anxious Boxer who taught me the importance of understanding each dog’s unique personality. I’ve also helped family and friends with pet care over the years. I’m dependable, calm, and communicative, and I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, a slower pace, playtime, or simply companionship, I’ll provide loving, attentive care and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable, consistent care throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I do my best to accommodate each pet’s routine. I believe consistency helps pets feel comfortable and secure, and I’ll communicate clearly if my availability ever changes. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’ll follow your care instructions carefully, keep doors and gates secure, and respect your home’s routines. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs, whether that means a slower pace for senior dogs, extra patience with anxious pets, or plenty of exercise for energetic pups. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: As a recent college grad who has just moved home, I am looking for ways to make a bit of extra cash as well as stay active! My childhood dog, Milo, recently passed away, and I'm in desperate need of some animal time. Looking forward to meeting more furry friends. :) I am fairly flexible as I'm navigating post-grad life! Please let me know what works best for your schedule and we can coordinate throughout the week. I will care for your pet in whatever way I can. I am very respectful and attentive, and will follow your guidelines as you set them.

About: I am an absolute dog lover. I have 2 of my own, a bichon/shih tzu who I’ve had since I was 13 (she’s very old and doing great for her age) and a border collie mix who my partner and I rescued in 2020. She’s about 7 now, so also in her senior years. I have experience with leash training with her. I’ve lived with dogs all my life and love all types of dogs, big and small. I have various experiences looking after pets for family and friends, while also providing care to children through personal connections or the use of other reputable online care services. I hope to be able to look after your dog(s) and make them feel as loved as you do! I have a full-time job where I work in-office 3 days per week. My partner works fully remote and doesn’t mind helping out with walks when I’m in the office. We take our dogs outside about 4x per day, ensuring a longer walk in the afternoon/evening for brain stimulation! Living in an apartment complex, there is a small dog park area a short walking distance. Our dogs don’t enjoy that type of environment, so we don’t visit it, but we do have access to a walking trail so in the warmer weather we’ll frequent that for exercise with the dogs. When watching other folks’ dogs I usually avoid/limit the visiting dog’s interaction with other dogs for safety purposes. Our dogs are welcoming of other dogs, being older they take the coexisting approach and with time they’ll form their own little pack. My partner and I have both had dogs all our lives, so we know all dogs are different and have their own personalities and needs, which may vary in new situations/environments. We welcome the opportunity to take care of your dogs the same way you do!

About: I’m currently a college student pursuing a Doctor of Pharmacy degree and have a lot of experience caring for animals since I have four cats of my own. Taking care of them has taught me responsibility, patience, and how to understand different pet needs. In addition to my love for animals, I also work as a caregiver and a pharmacy technician, which has strengthened my skills in attention to detail, reliability, and compassion. These experiences make me confident that I can provide excellent care and attention to your pets while you’re away. I'm currently working part-time, which gives me a lot of flexibility. My experience also includes caregiving and working as a pharmacy technician, which means I'm very adaptable and can rearrange my schedule as needed to ensure your pet gets the best possible care. I can be flexible for specific needs. My caregiving experience has exposed me to numerous pets whose owners I cared for, and I assisted in their daily care. . My pharmacy technician background means I'm also comfortable administering medication if necessary. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I also have 4 cats, a bird, a couple of frogs who adore my household.

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.

“Courtney was truly exceptional with my little anxious boy, Gus. She cared for him with so much patience, compassion, and genuine understanding. She went out of her way to ensure he felt safe and comfortable, even while he was struggling with separation anxiety and the challenges that come with it. It’s not easy to support a dog through that level of emotional stress, but Courtney handled everything seamlessly and with such kindness. I feel incredibly grateful to have found someone I can completely trust with Gus, especially during more difficult times. Courtney went goes above and beyond, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone, especially those with dogs who need a little extra care, attention, and love.”
