Dog Sitting Byfield

“Janine is amazing! She was very attentive to our diabetic cat and showed him tons of love and affection! She administered daily insulin shots as required twice a day. Janine also sent us daily photos of her visits, which were appreciated. Our cat fell in love with her ♥️. We highly recommend Janine for your pet sitting needs. Thanks again Janine, you were awesome!”

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.

“Our cats loved Allison and Max! We have one typically very shy cat who is always nervous around new people. To the point I was worried she might not even eat from someone different. But when they came over to feed them she was so comfortable and had no problem coming out and eating! Such a relief for us! They were super kind and sent updates after their visits too!”

“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.”

“Krystyna was absolutely wonderful with our two kittens! She was caring, attentive, and made sure they were happy, comfortable, and well taken care of while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We really appreciated the updates and the care she gave them. We would happily recommend Krystyna to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter!”

I have a nice yard and easily accessible sidewalk and trails to walk your pet frequently and when necessary. Your pet would be treated like family.

“Karen was amazing! She sent pictures and wrote a description of the visit each time so I always knew what was going on. I could see how happy our dog was in all of the pictures. I couldn’t have asked for a more caring and dog loving person to watch my dog. Would highly recommend her.”

About: Hi! I’m a college student and lifelong dog lover with experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’ve worked with both puppies and senior dogs and am happy to care for dogs of any age. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, patience, and genuine love for animals. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddles, I treat every dog like family! Since it’s summer, I have a super flexible schedule and lots of free time to focus on pet care! I’m available throughout the day for walks, playtime, feeding, and any other needs your pup may have. I love spending time outdoors and being active, so caring for dogs fits perfectly into my routine. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for all summer long! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and at ease. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. At my home, I have a friendly dog who gets along well with others and loves having company. I always create a calm, welcoming space where pets can play, relax, and feel right at home!

About: I am an outgoing, animal lover who volunteers weekly at surrounding dog shelters. Although I do not have any professional experience, I do have a dog of my own and, as mentioned, volunteer to walk shelter dogs. I am able to walk, play with, or visit your dog during the day. Because I am a full time student, my hours do tend to vary.I love dogs and have had a passion for them throughout my whole life. I prefer no more than 2 dogs at a time, although I can handle 3. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact me ! I'm currently a full time student at Santa Clara University, so I do attend class 5x a week. However, I am completely free on weekends, and am available outside the hours 9am - 12:00pm. I am very flexible with times, and do not mind coming at any hour of the day as long as I am not in class. I am extremely comfortable with crating as well as putting on harnesses, jackets, etc. When in your pet's presence, he/she is my main priority and will have my focus and attention the entire time.

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 have the experience of 3 years of dogsitting my neighbor’s lovely golden retriever, and miscillaneous other neighbors have had me walk all different kinds of dogs too over the years I just graduated highschool and work part time in the evening so I’m free basically every weekday until 3:00pm, some days even after that. Weekends are generally the same. I am very good at interacting by and playing with dogs, and keeping them happy while you’re away. I also love going on walks so naturally I love walking dogs!

About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember and have owned and cared for all kinds of animals throughout my life. Dogs and cats are my heart, especially elderly and high energy dogs! I also have a special place for rescue dogs and have a great understanding of their quirks and characteristics. For decades, I’ve been the person friends and family turn to when they need someone they trust to care for their pets. Now, as a stay-at-home mom, I’m excited to open that up to other local families who could use a little extra help with daytime pet care. Whether your pup needs a midday walk, some exercise and attention while you’re at work, or simply some company during the day, I’d love the opportunity to help! My goal is to provide the same loving, dependable care I’d want for my own pets. 🐾❤️ I am a stay at home mom and have recently opened up my daytime availability to be able to help other families in need with fur baby help! I have owned and been around animals entire life, and after recently leaving the medical field and corporate world I completely understand the need for animal care when you are busy at work! My availability would be M-F anytime after 9 and before 2:30 for drop-ins, dog walking, play, etc. I have two large dogs and a large kitty of my own! A typical day looks like spending time with them, brushing them, throwing a ball, going for long walks, and anything that is engaging and fun! I consider myself to have a vast knowledge of animal body language and overall communication. I have trained all of my own dogs - past and present, and we always get compliments on what loving and well behaved animals we have.

“Kat was amazing! I would ask her to come take care of our cat again in a heartbeat — we got great photos and nice, detailed notes about her visits. She clearly knows how to take care of animals, from the minute she meets them it’s obvious that she’s not only good at it, she genuinely enjoys connecting with them. If you need a sitter or a pet visitor you could not get better care!”

“Megan was fantastic!! Amazing! She was great with my cat, very communicative and super sweet! Exactly the type of person you want watching your furry best friend. Highly recommmend!”

Meghan K.

“Daniela was amazing, she took great care of our dogs, kept us updated on how they were doing with pictures and gave them plenty of love.”

Wayne M.

“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!”

C N.

“Sharon was fantastic! She did drop in visits for our dog Izzie and we couldn't have been happier. Sharon kept us updated with photos and text messages each visit. Sharon is clearly an animal lover and treated Izzie like one of her own. We highly recommend Sharon and we can’t wait to use her again.”
