Dog Sitting Boxford

“Henry was terrific! Great communication, photos and videos, and flexibility! He was a pleasure to deal with and my cat, who is nervous around men, adjusted to him well. I would definitely recommend Henry.”

About: I have worked at a cat boarding facility for the better part of five years. I have many pets and experience with the following; medicine administration, injecting insulin, monitoring the cats’ health and appetite, cleaning, and making sure each and every cat got the adequate attention they needed. In addition to this I have also pet sat for dogs and cats for years. Most of customers were regulars and I got to get to know each animal very well. I have also had both a dog and a cat my whole life, so I know what it is like to not only constantly care for a pet, but also love and worry about them, which is why I take such pride in ensuring my customers have complete peace knowing I will care for their pets! I am a college student and am available most afternoons, but have more freedoms Tuesdays, Thursdays, and the weekends. My schedule can be very flexible though. My main concern in caring for pets is their health and safety. I will always make sure they are doing well and have all the care they need in that aspect. I also will make sure they are happy and receiving the attention from me they need. I will always follow any and all instructions left on caring for pets.

“Jaclyn was great with our 5 cats! She was really attentive to the details and very proficient. Over the course of the week she even managed to win over our shy guy. We will definitely have her back?”

About: I’ve been fostering dogs for the last four years! Even during my crazy college schedule I made it a priority to spoil all my foster pups! When I was too busy for a full time foster, I’d take the local shelter dogs on walks for a shelter break! Currently looking for a full time position, so my schedule is super flexible! Let me know whenever you need help and I’ll reply as soon as possible. I always make sure to stick to the sidewalk when walking pets and maintain a safe distance from the road and from other animals! It’s also crucial to me that I leave your home in the condition I found it, with no mess left behind!

“Alexandra was great! Helped us out a ton with Millie and provided great care. We really appreciate it!”

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 cat-sitter 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.

“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: I've taken care of birds, chinchillas, puppies, and senior dogs for over 10 years. I am well-adapted to multi-step routines, and specific needs of each animal. Some examples are special diets, medication, bathing, and walking/running. I am currently fully available during the week and have a very flexible weekend schedule, allowing me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets and their individual needs. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. During drop-in visits and walks, I will carefully follow any instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, routines, or behavioral needs to ensure your pet feels comfortable and cared for. I understand that every animal has a different personality and comfort level, so I will adapt my approach to best suit them. I will also treat your home with respect and provide updates so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

“Bridget is so reliable and was absolutely awesome with my cat. I would highly recommend her.”

“Joleen was wonderful with my two cats while I was away - she left very detailed messages about the visit, including how they were behaving and that everything looked normal in the litterbox. She was quick with communication and took great care of the kitties. Thank you so much Joleen!!!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since the age of 6. I have personally owned labs and a cockapoo. I cannot have pets in my current apartment so I am excited to spend time with your dog! I work full time Monday through Friday so I’m available for drop-ins or walks after 4:30pm. I am available all hours of the day on weekends! I am comfortable walking, feeding, playing indoors or out, bathroom breaks and crating all breeds and all size dogs. I am also comfortable with handicapped/special needs dogs.

“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.”

About: Hi Pet Parents! 🐾 please read I bring over 6 years of pet care experience from Wag and have been on Rover for about a year 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. - I know a lot of you are parents and / or are very busy if you need more assistance such as picking your dog up from doggy day care, grooming appointments or simply just cleaning up the house please let me know and we can discuss further 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.

About: I have experience caring for all animals from their younger years to very senior. I’m comfortable handling an emergency situation if needed. Your pet will always be in safe, loving hands with me. The only day I can’t work is on tuesdays as I go into the office that day. Every other day is fair game! I’m available days or nights as needed. I spent two summers working as a vet tech assistant and learning how to handle emergency situations. Your pet would be in safe loving hands with me.

“Danielle provided attentive care to my cats who allowed it. She provided great photos and communication”

About: I'm a local cat mom with 13 years of experience. I have a 9 year old Raggamuffin named Patches. I specialize in cat care, but also have hands-on experience caring for dogs of my friends and family. Whether I'm visiting a shy cat who needs space or an energetic dog ready for a walk, I promise to show up consistently, follow your pet's routine, and keep you updated with photos so you can relax while you're away. I currently have an open and flexible schedule which means I can accommodate early morning visits, evening drop-ins, and multi-day house sitting stays. Whether I'm doing a drop-in, a dog walk, or an overnight sit, I treat your pet and home the way I'd want mine treated. For cat visits I follow feeding and play routines, scoop the litter, and refresh water. For dog walks I keep them to familiar, low-traffic routes until I know your dog well. For house sits, I keep the space tidy with doors and windows secure.

About: Hi, I’m Betsy in Andover and I’m a lifelong pet owner. I have experience caring for and owning dogs, cats, chickens, gerbils, hamsters, and fish. I live with my 4-year-old dog Ruby and 7-year-old cat Bobby. I’ve cared for pets from 12 weeks to 14.5 years old and am comfortable with all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, including high-energy dogs, shy rescues, and seniors. Services include dog walking, backyard play, brushing, bathing, teeth brushing, exercise, training reinforcement, medication administration, overnight boarding (in your home), and drop-ins. I will provide daily photo and video updates. I’m reliable and detail-oriented. Please message me to discuss your pet’s needs or schedule a meetup. I was recently let go from my full-time position. I am in between jobs/contract roles and I am looking to fill up my days and nights. I have a very flexible schedule and I am available with little advanced notice. I would love to take care of your animals as if they were my own. I am a responsible pet caregiver and will take care of your furry family members as if they were my own. I provide updates : text, photos and videos.

About: I have been pet-sitting since I was about 11 or 12 years old. Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me to feed, water, play with, pet, medicate, scoop, cuddle, brush, walk, and generally love their pets for decades, and I have enjoyed every moment of it! I have two cats and one dog myself, and would have many more pets if my property manager and my square footage allowed for it. I am a librarian by day, and a pet-sitter by night! My regular work schedule is Monday through Friday from 9-5, so I am available before and after work hours. I am also available anytime of the day or evening most weekends. I currently offer pet care in my clients' homes. I try to be very flexible with my clients and the needs of their pets. When I go away and rely on a pet-sitter to look after my fur babies, I always miss them terribly, which is why I send my clients and update on how their pets are doing during and/or after each visit, and I always take lots of pics and videos to share.

“Caroline was great with my two cats! She was very responsive and sent updates and photos with each visir. Thanks Caroline!”
