Cat Sitting Byfield

“Hannah is awesome. Flexible, consistent, great with the pets. She is great at communicating and filling us in on how everyone is doing when we are on trips, and leaves you with a peace of mind that is invaluable when you are away. We will continue using her for both our dog and cat needs,”

Michael R.

“Jeanne was great and very responsive. I had full confidence my cats were being well cared for while I was away. I would definitely recommend Jeanne and hope to reschedule her services for future dates.”

About: I have been dog sitting since I was in middle school. Friends, family, friends of friend, and neighbors have trusted me with their furry family members. As someone who has a little pup myself, I know the care and consideration each individual animal needs and deserves. I've worked with a variety of breads, behaviors, and ages and feel equipped to ensure a safe walk, play time, or check in for your dog. Personally, I've adopted a puppy Cairn Terrier, Ruckus. I've loved training with him, creating a bond, and learning more about dog behavior. It's been a really fun journey. He's a sassy little guy. I have been off Rover for the past few years, moving around and attending Grad School. I am excited to be back to help the Essex community care for their pets. I currently work from home, full time. I have flexibility in my schedule to do walks and drop in visits for your dog. Where I can provide full and undivided attention. When I have a dog I'm looking after, I will ensure safety and fun - however that looks for your doggie. Going for a walk, playing catch in the yard, or even just laying on the couch getting some pets. Your pet will be my priority for the duration of my visit.

“Collette took great care of Percy. Her check-in summaries were thoughtful and detailed, as well as her punctuality. Would definitely book her again.”

About: I have a lot of patience for animals and I love entertaining them, whether that’s playing with them or going on a long walk. For the younger ones, or ones that just have more energy, I would love to run them and keep them in shape. I am super flexible this summer, aside from a few weeks of travel, so whatever works for you works for me. My main priority is going to the gym, but other than that I’m all yours! Whether it’s feeding, walking, brushing, playing, or simply snuggling, I’m always giving my full attention and affection. Also, I think mental stimulation is often overlooked in animal care so I try to incorporate fun games and activities.

“Chelsea has been a huge help. She is wonderful with our puppy, and it’s so reassuring to know our dog is loved and well cared for when we’re away. It’s clear she genuinely enjoys spending time with her. Chelsea is also very responsive and always willing to help, even with last-minute drop-ins. We couldn’t ask for better care”

About: I am no stranger to the animal world. I have been active in the horse world since five years old. I have over fifteen years of hands on experience with animals of all shapes and sizes; Dogs, cats, horses, livestock, chickens and other various farm animals. I have experience training dogs and a love for working with older rescues! Taking care of the four dogs, horses, and chickens at home requires us to be up by 7 in the morning. My weekend work schedule can be quite busy during the summer seasons, and my weekly schedule tends to be constant yet unpredictable. Please feel free to ask about the scheduling details, as I am very flexible. We have spacious runs, 30 to 60 feet long, and across the road, there are hundreds of acres of trails for our animals to explore. Our mission is to keep them engaged and active, as their world is shaped by what we provide. With plenty of stimulation, we can effectively manage behavior and craft positive relationships.

“Great experience with them! My cats were incredibly well take care of even though they are quite antisocial lol. Wonderful communication, cannot recommend enough”

Christina W.

“Laura was great. She cleaned some unfortunate litter box issues. Bless her. More importantly than that, though. I returned home to cats that were not stressed. This is a first for them and I’m so grateful.”

Carolyn Briggs S.

“Janine was so great with my pups. My one dog can be iffy on new people and she was so comforting to him that he absolutely loved her. She handled them both so well and was very good at communicating throughout the entire visit. Will definitely book with her again!”

Nicole W.

“Tucker absolutely loved all the attention he received! Thank you so much for taking such good care of him while we were away!”

Katie F.

“Michael was great with our kitties (as always). The kitties were timely cared for and were also treated extra special with treats and playing at each visit. We trust Michael with our babies and will continue to seek his services in the future!”

About: Hello! My name is Coralee and I’m 20. Ive been a lifelong animal lover and have been caring for animals as long as I can remember. I am new to the Rover community, but I know how important it is to have the right person taking care of your pet(s)! I am constantly around animals in my day to day life and I am comfortable around all dog + cat breeds and sizes!! I am always willing to adapt and learn any type of dog/cats personality and what suits them best as it is not only my time but most importantly theirs. When I come to care for, play with, and walk your dog/cat I will dedicate all of my time to loving and bonding with them just as if they were my own! I do have medication experience with pills only. I am currently home full-time getting my GED online and I am available for drop ins, dog walking, and pet sitting. Please schedule all pet sittings a day or more in advance, I only ask this because I don’t want times overlapping. I have two cats of my own but they can easily be put in different rooms. If willing your pet is smaller they could also be crated or free-roam in my room or wherever I may be at the time. I have a very big un-fenced backyard and also a pool area with fence where we can relax, play, and even swim if allowed by owner first.

“We love Karen! She takes good care when walking, provides water and treats and amazing updates to you as the dog owner! Would 10/10 book her again”

Michaela C.

“Nicole is absolutely wonderful! The regular updates, adorable photos, and thoughtful gestures put our minds at ease while we were away. We returned home to three happy fur babies, thanks to the exceptional care. She was very patient with them as two were rescues and can be very reactive but they were comfortable with her by the end of the visit. We definitely recommend Nicole to anyone seeking trustworthy, loving dog care!”

About: Hello everyone! My name is Hope Kenny, I am 22 years old and just graduated from UMass Amherst. I have plenty of experience pet sitting. All the way from puppies to chinchillas, I’ve done them all! I treat all the pets I sit for like my own and giving all the loving care and attention they deserve. If you have any questions I’d love to talk more. I can’t wait to hear from you! I like to treat each pet I’m sitting like my own, and will incorporate them into my schedule as best I can. The only obligation I have is work from about 10:30-3:30. Other than that I am fully available to give your pets the love and attention that they deserve! I think it’s very important to make your pets as comfortable as possible. They are allowed on my couch, on my bed, and whatever room I am in. I will take them out as much as I can so they aren’t cooped up inside the house. I like to walk so walks are definitely in store if that’s something the pup is interested in.

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

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I’ve had my sweet cat Beanie for 10 years, and my beloved pup Dunkin was by my side for 14 amazing years before he passed in July 2020. He taught me so much about patience, unconditional love, and the joy of caring for animals of all kinds. I’m the go-to pet sitter in my friend group, and I absolutely love it. Whether it’s a playful pup, a shy cat, or a senior dog who just needs company and care, I’m here for it. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and treating them like one of my own. I work full-time during the week, but I’m available on weekends for: • Drop-in visits • Dog walks • Kitty care • Lots of love, playtime, and photos for peace of mind 💛 I’m comfortable with all sizes, breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. I believe every animal deserves kindness, respect, and a good belly rub (when invited!). I’d love to meet your furry friend and give them the care and attention they deserve. Let’s connect—your pet’s new weekend BFF is ready to help! I work full - time, so right now my availability would be Evenings or Friday-Sunday any time. Would just need to know one day in advance :) Currently unable to sit at my own home, but am flexible with house sitting in your own home and easily adapt to rules and your environment and how you like things to be done.
