Dog Sitting Beverly

About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart and I am committed to providing every pet with the same love, care and attention that I would give my own. I have been working as a pet sitter for 6 years and worked with animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities from bearded dragons and clingy cats to Chihuahuas and Newfoundlands. I also have experience administering medications like insulin, subcutaneous fluids and other medications during my stay. I understand the importance of following routines closely and ensuring that the pets and their parents are comfortable and stress-free. Additionally, I have volunteered at the shelter during college for a couple of months working with animals with different backgrounds and temperaments. As a cat mom of 3 I understand first hand how important it is to find a dependable, compassionate pet sitter you can trust whether it is companionship, a walk or playtime I will provide the best care I can for your animals. Currently I am working towards getting my second degree in nursing but I am still committed to providing reliable and attentive pet care and can work around my schedule whether it is waking up extra early for a morning walk or extra playtime when my school day is over. I can only pet sit at the clients house as I have pets of my own but their routine will still be followed including daily medications. I understand that this is a stressful time for both pet and owner so I focus on providing the best care I can give and will give regular updates for a stress free environment. Please note that I am only comfortable caring for indoor cats. For safety reasons, I do not allow outdoor cats outside while they are under my care and ask that they remain indoors during the duration of my visits or stay.

About: My name is Meryn DeSimone, I am 22 and recently graduated from Elon University. I've taken care of a variety of different of animals and truly love spending time with pets! I currently have a chinchilla, Frank and a leopard gecko, Sally. My parents have two dogs also, Kip and Hammy and I have grown up with having dogs and cats around so they are second nature to me. I consider myself to be an organized and dedicated person with a big heart for animals. I would be more than happy to assist with any local pet care needs. I have plenty of time in the afternoon after my classes and I would love to spend that time going on a walk or taking care of pets! I can walk the dogs for long enough to make sure they are tired, feed them, clean up after them and even give medications or special requests that the animals would need!

About: I have cared for pets for almost 6 years, ranging from pet sitting to caring for dogs while working at my local grooming facility. I also frequently volunteer at Cape Ann Animal Aid in their cat wing caring for the shelter cats. I have fed, cleaned, and walked dogs. I am also experienced in veterinary care including administering medications and being certified in FearFree, Pet first aid, Pet CPR, and more. I fully dedicate my time to your pets, and I am able to take them to dog parks, beaches, anything that’ll allow them to socialize and get proper exercise! When you are gone I would do anything and everything to make your pet feel as comfortable as they can, as well as keeping up with their current routine. I am experienced in dogs/cats that are very anxious, whether that means shy towards humans/dogs, afraid of loud noises, reactivity, etc. Due to my veterinary background and personal experience, I am fully capable of administering medications including daily or preventatives. (Oral, topical, etc) I am currently working part-time, but I am fully free on days that I am not working. I am available after 11am and before 8pm. I am available on weekdays and weekends, as well as some holidays. I am a college student, so I am only available over the summer, winter, and spring when I am home for breaks. I am currently unable to care for pets in my own home at this time due to the temperament of my pets, however I can care for pets in clients homes. I am familiar with using crates, basic obedience training, and petsitting dogs and cats including feeding, cleaning, playing, and walking the dog.

I also send regular updates, photos and videos so you can relax knowing your best friend is in loving hands. Just for extra reassurance, I don’t invite people into your home. The only time I ever have was for a family I’d been sitting for over many years, and I made sure to ask first—I only had my dad over for dinner because it was Thanksgiving during that stay. Aside from that, I would never invite friends or anyone else over, as I personally find that disrespectful.

“Brooke was great! She was on time (with treats in hand) and did a great job with walking, playing with and taking care of my golden retriever puppy so I could take a work call. Charlie was pooped and went right down for a nap after. So helpful for those that work from home!”

About: Hi, My names AnnMarie, ive owned dogs basically my whole life. Ive owned all kinds, from small to big. My mom use to groom dogs & cats on the side, so growing up i got to learn how to groom dogs & cats. I know anywhere from how to shampoo your dog to cutting their nails.

About: I have loved dogs my whole life but have never had one of my own. Because of this, I’ve become the go-to guy for all my friends’ dogsitting needs. I spent 2020 as a professional dog walker in Boston and fine tuned my skills at handling multiple dogs at a time. I have picked up training skills and also enjoy taking photos of my furry friends! Additionally, I have cared for dogs of all shapes and sizes. Every dog is different in how much attention or exercise they need and I’m always ready to adapt to best take care of them. I love getting to know dogs and their unique personalities and I hope I can get to know yours too! While I may be a dog person, I love all animals and have met my share of cool cats so please consider me to care for all kinds of fur babies. I recently moved home from a year on the west coast and am looking to build my schedule back up. I’m currently very flexible and hoping to fill my time with some new fur friends! I know every pet has specific needs and I am always looking to meet those so they can live their best lives. I’m capable of handling dogs with high energy levels or chill out with kitties that just want to snooze. I’m always vigilant as well since I know our pals can sometimes be sneaky.

About: I am a full-time (remote) student at UMass and dog-sitter extraordinaire! I have a lot of scheduling flexibility and I don’t mind last minute bookings. Try me. I am a student and I study remotely so have the flexibility to accommodate daily visits & drop-ins for walks, feeding/potty breaks, playtime or overnight stays. Familiarity and routine are important for your pet in your absence. I prefer to come to your pet in their home for play, feeding, walks etc. so they won’t suffer unnecessary anxiety or stress from an unfamiliar environment, whether it be for drop-ins or overnight stays.

“Kaitlin was great with our two boys! They really enjoyed her dropping in! She made sure Bruno got some play time while our older dog Bundy got to enjoy the sun. She was very responsive and made sure to give us an update. Thank you so much !”

About: I've had many different pets my whole life! Anything from dogs, cats, bunnies, parrots etc! I'm a big animal lover and would love to extend my care and time to more animals! I’m currently working part time hours so I have a lot of availability and free time to spend with your pet. I’m rarely out for long hours and make sure to be home when a pet is scheduled for my care. I live on a non-busy street with a big wooded yard on two acres. It's not fenced in but I have a fenced in tennis court where animals can run free if they need exercise. I have a little shih tzu who couldn't be more gentle, loving, calm, and behaved. She roams free but I have big and small crates if you prefer your pet to be in a crate. Whatever specific requests you have I'll happily follow so your pet gets the best care that you can trust.

About: I've owned and taken care of animals all my life. It truly is my first and only passion. I have been complimented on my animal energy and ability to connect with them by family, friends and acquaintances. I just have a natural knack, and love connecting and understanding all kinds of animals, especially dogs and cats. I am currently a stay at home mom with teenagers that only need me for rides and money! lol I have a very flexible schedule and I can make pet care easily available any time of the day. I have 2 acres of land, with a barn and fenced in area for dogs to roam. I abut 17 acres of land and trails for walking and exploring.

About: Hi, I’m Lauren! I’m a lifelong animal lover who knows that pets aren’t “just pets”, they’re family. I grew up with both cats and dogs, have cared for other people’s pets over the years, and currently have an 11-year-old dachshund of my own. I’m comfortable caring for senior dogs and dogs with anxiety who may need a little extra patience, reassurance, and understanding. As a pet parent myself, I completely understand the stress that comes with leaving your pet behind while you’re away. You’re not only looking for someone who will show up, you’re trusting someone to care for a member of your family. I want you to be able to enjoy your trip knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, loved, and being cared for by someone you can rely on. One of the biggest benefits of caring for your pet in your home is that they get to stay where they feel safest. Their favorite bed is still there, their familiar smells are still there, and their normal routine doesn’t have to disappear just because you’re away. And when it comes to that routine, there’s no such thing as too much information! I genuinely want every detail you’re willing to give me, feeding times, walk schedules, medications, favorite toys, sleeping habits, commands, quirks, hiding spots, anxieties, comfort items, where they like to be scratched, and even the little things that might seem silly to anyone else. My goal is simple: the only part of your pet’s routine that should change is that you’re away. Everything else stays as familiar and consistent as possible. Whether your pet is young and energetic, a senior who prefers a slower pace, or an anxious pup who needs extra reassurance, I’ll meet them where they are. I’m happy to follow detailed instructions and give them the patience, affection, attention, and consistency they’re used to. I’ll also keep you updated so you don’t have to spend your trip wondering how things are going. I know how reassuring it is to see that your pet is happy and doing well while you’re away. I’d love the opportunity to get to know you and your pet, learn their routine, and help make being apart a little easier for both of you. 🐾❤️ I work full-time as a nanny Monday through Friday from 8 AM–4 PM, with open availability on weekends. Outside of my work hours, my schedule allows me to be flexible and intentional with my time, so when I accept a booking, your pet can be a top priority. I’m happy to plan my mornings, evenings, and weekends around your pet’s established routine as closely as possible. Whether that means morning and evening walks, meals at specific times, extra playtime, cuddles, or simply being there to keep them company, I’ll make sure they receive the attention and care they’re accustomed to. I’m also mindful of how long your pet is comfortable being alone and want to know what their normal day looks like before accepting a booking. My goal is never to overbook myself, it’s to make sure I have the time and flexibility to give your pet the dependable, attentive care they deserve. 🐾 For everyone’s safety and comfort, I provide care exclusively in your home, as my own dog is reactive to other dogs. I’ve also found that many pets are happiest staying in the environment they already know and feel safe in, surrounded by their own bed, toys, smells, and familiar routine. Keeping them at home can make your time away feel much less disruptive and help create an easier, less stressful transition. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I’ll follow your instructions closely, respect any boundaries or behavioral needs you share with me, and make sure doors, gates, leashes, medications, feeding routines, and anything else important to their care are handled exactly as requested. Please tell me every quirk, trigger, habit, or precaution, there’s no such thing as too much information! I have a manual for my own dog for sitters! And I know you’re trusting me with more than your pet, you’re trusting me with your home. I take that responsibility just as seriously. I’ll treat your space with care and respect, keep things tidy throughout my stay, and make every effort to leave your home even better than I found it. My goal is for you to come home to a happy, comfortable pet and a clean, cared for home, so the only thing you need to worry about after your trip is getting all the “I missed you” cuddles. 🐾❤️
