Cat Sitting Byfield

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.

“Our cat, who can be very shy, loved Hannah! She did a great job dropping in an her and feeding our fish while we were away for the weekend. Highly recommended!”

About: Hi! My name is Brooke, and I am looking to help out with some pups! I’m willing to do one-time, or repeating walking schedules, home care/drop-in visits, and other requests! I’ve always grown up with dogs and cats, I am comfortable around them, and since I am a stay at home college student, I have experience being the go-to for family and friends dogs sitting needs often. Please message me if interested! I currently work part-time as well as am an online college student, therefore my schedule can tend to be flexible! I also nanny, but me and my toddler go on many puppy walks daily and would love to bring a new friend along! I have a fenced in yard as well as an older pup who loves to spend time socializing with other dogs! In a clients home, I am always respectful of the spaces and make sure me and the pup keep everything clean and clear.

“Adele does a great job with the cats, she’s always on time and gives them play time and attention, checks their automated food and water and gives them extra food and treats when needed, cleans the litter box, and administers a liquid medicine.”

“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.”

“Caroline did a wonderful job caring for our two cats. They came out to visit her and she left everything clean. Very pleased with her and hope to hire her again.”

Megan L.

“We just moved here last week and were gone over Christmas so we had to find someone reliable to take care of our cat, Pancakes, on very short notice. Laney was extremely reliable, communicative, and helped relieve an area of stress for us over this holiday season. We will definitely continue to use her for cat care and also to take care of our pup in the future.”

About: I have a weiner dog named Benny whom I raised and trained since he was a puppy. I’ve cared for puppies post-neuter/spay surgery as well as walking and caring for injured dogs. I have experience administering medication to dogs and cats. I’ve housesat for friends to care for their cats and have lived with and cared for a cat for over 3 years. I love animals and I’m passionate about their well-being and quality of life. I know every animal is unique, and needs to be approached with that in mind. I’m currently working part time in the evenings for a couple hours so I have early morning to late afternoon available. I also have availability on weekends. I’ve spent time with many different kinds of pets and I feel confident that after spending a little time with yours, I’ll understand how they want to be approached and cared for. I raised my dog since he was a puppy and took part in his training so I feel confident with dogs of any age. I’ve spent many years around cats and know their mannerisms and the quiet language that they use to communicate. I’m meticulous and careful when walking dogs since I raised mine in NYC; I understand how to keep their attention and be firm when necessary to keep them safe and attentive on their walks. I want you to come home to a pet that is happy and healthy, above all.

“Karen was a fantastic friend to my Ella. During her daily visit, she gave me a complete rundown of her visit and send pictures and videos of my cat.”

Holly N.

“Bridget took excellent care of our 3 cats while we were away. She was communicative, sent pictures and even accommodated a schedule change. One of our cats eats special food and Bridget went above and beyond to make sure he ate his own food while she visited. We will use Bridget again and would recommend her to others!”

About: Woof, Woof woof woof, ggrrrr (Hi, Wanna go play, lol) Hi, I have a pretty flexible schedule so am able to accommodate most people's requests. I love receiving pictures and updates from my Rover sitter when I'm away. I can do the same for you or we can leave it as no news is good news and you can focus on your vacation. Visits are customized to what works for you. My schedule is very flexible. When I have to run out on an errand, I'm happy to take your pup with me or he/she could stay at the house and relax. Safety precautions vary with each situation. I always welcome information from the client on this topic. This is one great thing about a meet and greet; to go over specifics❤️🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾

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.

About: I've taken care of puppies and dogs (mainly aussiedoodles) for the past few years. After I moved out, I now have an adult korat cat who I love! I work full time 9-5 monday through friday and unfortunately cannot housesit overnight on Tuesday nights. However, any other time you may need or any other day than Tuesday nights, I can do! I always try to let the animals have fun and feel like nothing has changed since. I can usually tell when an animal wants to go for a walk or play.

About: I’m an experienced dog owner and longtime animal lover! I have hands-on experience fostering puppies, so I’m comfortable with everything from energetic playtime and basic training to keeping a close eye on routines, feeding, and potty breaks. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I’ll treat your dog like one of my own and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I’m happy to accommodate different personalities, energy levels, and routines to make our time together as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. Pet care is a very important part of my daily routine, and I always make it a top priority. I currently have a dog and a rescue cat, so I understand the time, attention, and consistency pets need throughout the day. I’m reliable with scheduling and communication, and I’ll make sure your pet receives the care and attention they need while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their home with the same care and respect I would my own. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable trusting someone with both your pets and your home, so I prioritize safety, following your instructions, and clear communication throughout the entire stay. I’ll keep you updated and make sure your pet’s routine is maintained as closely as possible.

About: Hello! My name is Jenna. I absolutely love being around dogs and grew up with them my entire life. My first family dog was a yellow Labrador named Lady, and later, a wonderful black Lab mix named Maddie. While I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I have a lifetime of experience caring for them and plenty of love to give to yours.Because of my active lifestyle, I love spending time outdoors and going on long hikes. I will ensure your dog gets plenty of fresh air, active playtime, and frequent outdoor exercise. I treat every dog with the same kindness and respect I would show a human. In addition to my love for animals, I am a professional schoolteacher who works with young children, which has given me an abundance of patience, care, and reliability. I would be thrilled to treat your dog like a member of the family!

About: I am an animal lover who had had dogs and cats my whole life. I go for 1-2 hour walk or hike with my dog and would love more company. I walk in the mornings and offer pick up and drop off. I work from home and have mornings free. I usually walk from 8-10:30 on weekdays and am flexible on weekends. Would love to have your pup join me! I have a friendly dog at home who loves every creature. Safety is number one priority! Your pet will be cared for as my own with diligence and never left alone.
