Cat Sitting in Beverly

About: My goal is to provide the pest possible service for your family. I am just getting started with Rover and not so busy yet. I think some great reviews would help and that is good news for you because great reviews require providing great service. Seriously, I am a senior looking to supplement my income like all old guys but I truly love dogs. It may seem strange but I feel a connection and able to communicate. So how about a shot to give you some great service so I can great reviews and fill my calendar a bit. Often times the fewer words the better but below gives you a window into some personal pet experiences. Pets have been a part of my entire life. My first adolescent memory is of Jacque, a prissy French Poodle with an attitude that Mom would let me dress up complete with overcoat, booties and of course a French beret. Ginger was a large orange tabby cat that could have been Garfield's stunt double. My parents attempt at teaching me responsibility actually worked. Married in 1971 our life together started with Figaro, looked just like the cat from Pinocchio. All black with white paws very sneaky, overly curious and slightly narcissistic. Figora belonged to my wife and he made that very clear. Sabrina, a very shiny grey Siamese joined us when my sister went to school. Sabrina was very anti social and did not like anybody. House guests could spend an entire weekend and never see her. She tolerated us but Sabrina and Figora had shall we say, an understanding. Neither were ever outdoors or saw the light of day. With the family developed and 3 boys later came Thunder. He was a rescue Sheppard mix. He was very active, playful, mischievous and very funny. He was more than a handful and we still laugh and talk about things that he did. As he became an adult dog, by years not behavior for sure, friends in a rural area expressed how much they loved Thunder. We just could not break their hearts and allowed them to adopt Thunder. We visited often. After some time Briar came into the picture. My wife's girlfriend became ill and unable to care for a large majestic Bovier de Flanders. Her coat was amazing. Very heavy and thick. Kids on the street would ask if she was a bear. When someone rang the doorbell Briar would announce them and greet them in an extremely loud intimidating manor. The caller could have just opened the door and patted her end and should would just give love and affection. She was kind gentle and helpful to everyone. Except, if you were to approach my wife in an aggressive manor or touch her, you were taking your life in your own hands. She was never taught to protect her, but protect she did. Amazing breed characteristics and lots of stories. We learned she had a UTI and was her kidney. We prolonged her life as long as possible and realized the treatment and medication were selfish on our part and chose her comfort over our love for her. So hard. My most recent pet experience was Pike, a brindle pit bull, male and Roxy, female dachshund. We started to foster them temporarily while my son traveled for work and turned to an extended stay their last years. Roxy ruled the roost for sure and was always funny when you considered their statute let alone breed but she was boss. We called them the odd couple. I would take them with me to work often and Pike made sales calls with me. He was truly my road dog. We lost them both within a month. We lost them both just before pandemic, they were 16-17 best guess. My son was the one that literally rescued Pike while he was chained to a dumpster in Rittenhouse Square all day in the rain. With lots of patience and love from everyone close, I watched him transform from an otherwise unfriendly, aggressive, animal hating Pit Bull transform to the sweetest, gentlest, ready to please member of the family. I do not have any formal training training nor have done training professionally but I am up for the challenge. I know and understand the 7 basic commands, hand signals, concepts and have a tremendous amount of patience. There are a lifetime of story's how I was the only one that got along with the shop dog or the neighbors dog or a particular. Hope to meet you and your Pups soon, Rocci I am retired and available 9:00am to 9:00 pm right now I don't need much notice. I am hoping to develop relationships with dogs by providing outstanding service I have a French yard that houses all the dogs and cats and the other animals as well as an area in the garage where we keep all the toys

“Miranda took care of our cat Tiny Tom during a short trip to Boston. Miranda left very detailed notes and lots of pictures of our boy. She was very responsive and we knew we left him in great hands! We will definitely reach out to Miranda in the future. Thank you!!!”

“Jimi was so accommodating as we were looking for a last minute sitter over the Easter holiday weekend and our usual sitter was unavailable! He scheduled a meet & greet with us very promptly during the week, and was open to the individual care needs of both of our cats, who must both be fed twice a day. We had an unexpected delay extend our trip by our day and as he was available, Jimi was kind enough to stop in twice more than planned to see our little girls. I would definitely recommend Jimi for your sitting needs, as he was professional, courteous, and prompt the whole way through.”

About: 🐶💛 Hi, I’m Trevon! Nice to meet you & your fur baby! Ever since I was little, I’ve loved animals with my whole heart. My very first pet — a fluffy rabbit named Gizmo joined my life when I was 10, and I’ve been surrounded by furry friends ever since! I’ve cared for all kinds of pets over the years, including dogs, rabbits, and gerbils I happily took care of everything — feeding, cleaning their spaces, playtime, snuggles, and building real bonds A little more about me! I’ve helped friends & family groom their pets — baths + nail clipping included In 2021, I volunteered with a Petsmart cat rescue  I helped clean their spaces, fed them, and made sure they felt loved and entertained My current animal family: • Rita — my sweet lionhead rabbit • Strelka — my energetic 9-month-old Manchester Terrier puppy  We’re currently working on training, and I love watching her grow each day! She’s good around other dogs and people though! Animals truly bring joy into my life, and I’d be honored to take care of your pet like part of my own family I can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend! ✨ My Daily Pet-Care Routine ✨ I currently work night shift, but I’m usually home between 6:40–7:00 AM. Morning I arrive home and feed my dog, then we play, cuddle, and bond for a few hours After a short break, she goes outside around 9:30–10:00 AM for fresh air & potty time Midday Around 12:00–12:30 PM, I feed my girls again They eat twice a day, but I’m happy to follow your dog/cat’s feeding schedule! Afternoon Another potty/play break around 2:00 PM Back outside again around 3:00 PM Evening • She’s allowed to stay out of her crate freely until about 8:00 PM, which is her cozy “bedtime” At this time I’m willing to do Client drop in , day time day care your pets will be treated like mine , grooming (only bathes & nail clipping) and dog walking.

“We can't say enough great things about Stevie! From the moment we first met them, we felt completely at ease leaving our pet in their care. Stevie was always on time for visits, and their constant communication kept us updated and reassured throughout our trip. We especially appreciated the pictures they sent during every visit—it was so nice to see how happy and comfortable our boy was! Stevie is professional, reliable, and truly went above and beyond. She even left him some toys and snacks for him! Truly the best!!! We highly recommend them and will use them in the future!”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve had cats my whole life and am very familiar with their needs, personalities, and routines. I also have experience caring for horses, which has strengthened my understanding of animal behavior, patience, and responsibility. I’m gentle, observant, and naturally good with animals. Although I don’t have much direct experience caring for dogs yet, I’m eager to learn, I follow instructions closely, and I provide a safe, loving environment for every pet. I am currently a full-time graduate student, but I have a flexible schedule that will allow me to easily accommodate you and come take care of your furry friends in the mornings and evenings. It is my goal to follow all directions given by the owner to ensure their pets have a safe environment and a fun time while their owner is away.

“Amy has done a great job learning how to care for my pet goats — a bit of an unusual Rover request! She’s punctual and detail-oriented, and has done a great job for their drop-in visits. Thanks, Amy!”

“Rodina was great with our new puppy! She sent pictures, followed our instructions, was communicative etc. We would definitely have her come back for drop in visits again!”

About: I’ve been taken care of animals the majority of my 22 years of life. A frenchie, husky, 4 pit bulls, and a Dalmatian to be specific. And as a new cat owner, I’m ready to take on the new challenges. Pets deserve to be cared for my someone who will care for them like their own. That’s what I’m here to do! Taking care of pets is a big part of my daily life and I really enjoy it! I have a French Bulldog who’s full of personality and energy. I make sure to feed him at least twice a day and keep a consistent routine so he feels happy and secure. I also take him to the park every week, which he absolutely loves. It’s a great way for him to get exercise and socialize with other dogs. I know how to crate small, medium, and large dogs. I also know the signs of heat stroke and uncertainty in dogs. I’m also a quick learner, so if your pal need specific requirements I’m down to learn.

“Rosabella was great with Loki. She definitely became his friend. She was consistent in her visits time and very thorough. She spent a lot of time giving him attention and love. I highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for over 30 years. I currently have 7 rescue dogs who range in age from 3-16 and weigh 6-26 lbs. I’m also an active foster for the Burlington County Animal Alliance. I’ve fostered close to 30 dogs this past year alone. I currently work full time, but am home Fridays Saturday and Sundays. The days I’m home I will take excellent care of any babies I’m dog sitting. I have a spacious backyard with a secure 6-foot fence, perfect for safe playtime. My home is full of happy pups who love making new friends. I do have crates available if needed, but most dogs prefer snuggling in bed with me or relaxing on one of the many cozy dog beds throughout the house.

About: I have taken care of all kinds of animals and love them. I would never be without a pet. I just am a pet lover. I will have to be flexible because I will be working too. I will do my very best to take care of your pet. XO I prefer to come to your home. I am fine doing drop offs and walks needed, I have a senior dog so that why. Ty

About: Hello pet parents! I'm Danni and I absolutely love everything about dogs. They're so cute, sweet and playful! I've had a dog all my life until recently (apartment restrictions) and they have been various sizes and breeds. I have also been a dog walker and sitter for a company that gave me experience handling and interacting with shelter and elderly dogs; I also have experience giving oral tablet medication at specified times. I understand that not every dog has come from a happy home and I will put an effort into earning their trust (I've done so with two shelter dogs with severe anxiety and I love them) because I know that it will mean so much in the long run. Other than long walks on sunny days, I love playing with your pup's favorite toy and fetch is my favorite game. I can't wait to meet your furry friend!
