Dog Sitting in Boxford

“Tom was super responsive and took great care of Mr Tibbs last weekend. Tibbsy took a little while to warm up, but Tom was able to use his charms and cat treats to make him comfortable during this first interaction.”

About: My name is Jeanne, I have been taking care of pets for over 20 years. I love them as my own. I believe in order to gain trust and respect with an animal is to trust and respect them as well! I am trained as a RN, and can provide special care for your special pet as needed. I'm currently working full time but am available to come to you on your schedule! I can adapt to your pet needs. I am available to stay at your home as needed for overnight visits. Whatever yours and your pets ' needs i can come to you. I have found success in going to the owners home, keeping your pet in familiar surroundings, keeping them happy!

About: I provide dependable dog walking, drop-in visits, companionship, feeding, potty breaks, and attentive one-on-one care tailored to each pet’s personality and needs. As an avid runner and active outdoors person, I especially enjoy long walks and jogging with energetic dogs if they’re up for it. Animals have always been an important part of my life, and friends and family have trusted me for years to help care for their pets. I’m comfortable with dogs of different breeds, sizes, and energy levels, and I’m also very mindful of safety, weather conditions, and each dog’s personality. I currently have a flexible schedule, including weekdays, evenings, weekends, and holidays, which allows me to spend quality time with pets in my care. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my routine as a runner who enjoys being outdoors. While my schedule may vary with my full-time role, I keep my availability updated and prioritize providing consistent, reliable care and communication for each dog. I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine. In your home, I follow your instructions closely for walks, feeding, and care so things feel familiar and stress-free. I’m attentive to safety, use proper leash handling, and adjust each walk to your dog’s energy level—whether that’s a relaxed walk or something more active. I’ll also send updates and photos so you always know how your dog is doing.

About: I have had dogs most of my life and have a lot of experience caring, raising, and training dogs. I lost my most recent dog, Buddy, a few years ago. I don't have a new dog yet but would like to help dog owners with their dogs and would enjoy the companionship. I am good with dogs at all ages and activity levels. I've had a lot of great experiences with people who have taken care of my dogs in the past so I am looking forward to paying that forward by helping to care for your dog. I'm recently retired and have some flexibility during the week so I will work with you on timing. I love dogs and understand the need for day-time dog care. I am happy to help with a one-time walk or check-in and would also consider caring for a dog on a regular basis. I live in Georgetown, MA and will consider jobs in the northeast part of Essex County and eastern Merrimack Valley. I can help you by visiting your home to walk, feed, or otherwise care for your dog during the day. I am patient and have a lot of experience raising and caring for dogs at all ages, from puppies to senior dogs. I am also experienced handling dogs at all activity levels. I am a dog lover and know how to read canine behavior and apply my manner and techniques to match the dog's needs.

“Jacquelyn was so great! Our cat was well taken care of and in good spirits when we returned home from a 6 day vacation. We had Jacquelyn come in for an hour each day. Everyday she wrote an amazing update and sent photos. Thank you so much for the care!”

“Joleen walked and fed Izzy for me while I was out of town for the day! She was kind and communicative and Izzy was very happy when I came home!”

“It was a pleasure having Jaclyn take care of Bart and Jemima. The pictures really put my daughter at ease. We will definitely use Jaclyn in the future.”

About: I worked as a dog walker for a year where I walked 6 dogs at a time usually walking around 36 dogs per day. I would also brush out feed and give the dogs water and any meds they may need for the day. Lastly I grew up with dogs my entire life so I know how to care for them very well I an currently babysitting and looking to walk dogs in my free days as a summer job. I am available most days and am happy to do any length of walk or visit needed I have a fenced in large yard and 2 very friendly dogs so if I ever needed to bring your dog to my house it would be completely safe

“Ann Marie was an amazing sitter for our two kitties! My first time using a sitter but she made the process seamless and gave us peace of mind. She even took time to take photos and give them treats. Couldn’t have asked for more and will definitely rebook next time we leave for vacation.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was eight years old, starting with neighborhood and family pets. What began as “dog watch” while neighbors were away quickly turned into a true love for pet care. Families trusted me to supervise playtime, keep their dogs safe, and make sure they felt comfortable and happy while away from home. I’ve had dogs of my own since I was eleven, including an energetic Australian Shepherd, an English Cream Golden Retriever, and a Red Labrador Retriever. Through them, I’ve gained firsthand experience with high-energy, playful breeds as well as more relaxed personalities. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and activity levels whether they need long walks and stimulation or calm companionship. As an animal lover, caring for pets has always been second nature to me. I want to make sure your pet doesn't feel like they're being walked by a stranger, but by a friend. I'm currently studying business at Pace University in Lower Manhattan. I'm fully available Friday through Monday for walks or in-house care. I'm available in the afternoons from 3:15-5PM Tuesday-Thursday. Since I'm entering your home and your dog's space I want to keep the routine they have as best I can. I carefully follow all feeding schedules, portion instructions, and preferred walk times. I make sure your pet gets plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention. I’m very respectful of your home and treat it like I would want mine to be treated. I keep food and water areas clean, wipe paws after walks if needed, and make sure everything is secure before leaving. I can also send regular updates and photos so you feel comfortable knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. Most importantly, I don't want your pet to feel like they are with a stranger, but with someone they trust!

“Collette is the best. She responds quickly to requests and is always willing to help. She has taken such great care of our french bulldog and we would never hesitate to hire her again! She leaves great notes and pictures, especially when she thinks our pup is having an “off” day. You can tell she really enjoys working with pets.”

About: Hi Pet Parents! 🐾 I may be new to Rover, but I bring over 6 of professional pet care experience from Wag, where I built long term relationships with pups (and their humans!) through a ton of walks, drop-ins and sittings! What sets me apart? - Consistency & reliability: I treat your pets and your home with the same care I’d want for my own. - Experience with all kinds of dogs: from shy rescues to energetic puppies to senior pups or disabled dogs who need gentler attention and care - Communication: I keep you in the loop with updates, photos and videos so you can relax knowing your best friend is happy and safe. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone and I don’t take that lightly. Whether it’s a quick walk, an overnight stay or daily drop ins, I’m here to make sure your pets feel loved and cared for while you’re away. Can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies! 🐶🐾 I have the flexibility to adapt to your pet’s specific routine and needs, so they get consistency and attention just like they would if you were home. When I care for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. - Walks & exercise: I match your dog’s pace and energy level whether that’s a quick potty break, a long walk playtime. - Drop-ins: I handle feeding, fresh water, litter or potty breaks and always make time for playtime and affection so your pet feels loved, not just “checked on.” - Sitting: I provide companionship, stick to your pet’s daily schedule and make sure your home is respected and cared for while you’re away. I completely understand how much trust it takes to let someone into your home. For extra peace of mind, I always encourage pet parents to use cameras if they’d like because that way you can see your pets happy and comfortable while you’re away. 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.

“Great communicator and so good with our pup!”

About: I’ve cared for pets for my whole life, including cats, dogs, and exotic pets such as frogs, lizards and birds. I’ve also been trusted as a dog walker and to cat-sit by family friends, coworkers, and teachers. I hope to get the chance to meet your beloved pets! I’m a college student free for the summer, so I will have very open availability during the entire week! I am glad to make multiple visits if needed. I can easily handle your pet’s food, bathroom and comfort needs. This includes feeding and administering medications, taking your pet out for walks/bathroom breaks, litter box cleanings, keeping their surroundings tidy and returning them to a crate if needed.

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life and have one of my own currently so I understand how nerve wrecking it can be leaving your pup in new hands! I ran my own dog walking, sitting & boarding business, worked at a doggy daycare & worked at a dog bakery so I have a great range of experience. I can’t wait to meet and care for your pup! I work from home all week which is what makes pet sitting so much easier. Having my own dog makes scheduling around their needs second nature! I love going on walks and getting the pets active to help get out some of their energy! I’ve used a lot enrichment toys with dogs I’ve watched and those are always super helpful.

“Rachel was great to work with! She came by for several drop in visits for our dog who really enjoyed it! She was easy to communicate with and prompt for each appointment. Would recommend working with her!”

“Nicole did a great job looking after our two cats over the holidays. I would certainly book her again and would recommend her to other cat owners.”

About: I work at a vet office and have many animals of my own. I have taken care of many animals and have a lot of skill. I can medicate animals if needed, I have worked with all age ranges. I work odd hours, so there are many openings in between those. Just let me know what you need and I can try to figure it out! I have a variety of animals at home. I have been raised with an assortment of animals. I will be careful with your animals, give medication as needed, and take care of their daily needs. My full time job is taking care of animals in a hospital setting, so taking care of them in a setting where they are comfortable is even better! I am also fear free certified

“Lauren was fabulous! My dog loved her! She was very responsible and did everything I asked her to do. She sent me pictures everyday which I really appreciated. I’ve already recommended her to some of my friends. I’m trying to think of some other places to go so I can use her again. Even my elderly neighbor loved her because she took the time to talk with him.”
