Dog Sitting in Byfield

“Took good care of the cats during drop in visits. I wasn't worried at all while I was away, because Janine sent pictures each visit. Things were well cleaned. Definitely recommend!”

Lindsay C.

“Annika took great care of our little Noli cat while we were gone, and was clean and respectful of the house. We came home to a very happy kitty! I’d love to have her help us out again in the future.”

Mary A.

“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.”

Jennifer M.

“Michaela was great from the start. My dog is scared of strangers but he grew to love her in just a few days of drop in visits. I got details of each visit and as a fur mama I appreciate knowing the little things. We will use her again!!”

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.

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

About: With a lifetime of experience caring for animals of all kinds — from energetic large dogs to gentle senior cats — I bring patience, skill, and genuine love to every pet I meet. I understand that every pet has specific needs, and I am flexible to updating my setup to meet those needs as best I can. I currently have a dog and a Russian tortoise, and have had pets ranging from 150lb Newfies to 5lb kittens, so I understand how different individual pets can be in their needs for safety and comfort, and I always strive to meet them where they're at. I’m experienced at administering a wide range of medications, providing special care for older or anxious pets, and reinforcing basic training routines. My background even includes caring for small animals like rodents and reptiles, so no creature is too big or too small to feel at home with me. I am available to care for pets during weekday business hours, Monday-Friday from 9-5. I can provide occasional weekend care in my home, but only for animals that are comfortable around small humans. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely — from feeding and walks to playtime and cuddles — to help them feel secure and comfortable. I’m attentive to every detail, keeping things safe, consistent, and stress-free, so your pets can relax and you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: Have raised two labs, so can handle all age spans. Recently have done senior care for my own dog, who passed at the age of 16.5. I am passionate and have a basic understanding in animal nutrition. I believe that the love and care your pour into in animal is what you get back in return. Im currently a stay at home mom to three loving girls, 10, 12, 14. I deeply love animals and have felt the emptiness of losing our lab in September. I would love an opportunity to love on your pet! I have a small unfenced yard currently, but live on a quiet street with an Amazing park at the end of the street, that is shaded and has many trees for sniffing. I am planning on being around most of the summer and can accommodate, walking, sleeping and cuddling needs. I currently have no pets in myhouse, so your pet will get the utmost attention. I will not only love, but can provide very focused and physical care. I can be as athletic as the pet needs t to be or as chill as the pet demands. I just want to make your pet feel loved and comfortable. If its just a walking service needed i can do that to, I am a runner and love being outdoors so can run or walk your pet wherever they might want to go.

“Caitlyn is great. Timely and communicative. Shares updates and pictures from visits.”

About: I worked at the Ipswich Animal Shelter for 6 years and have extensive experience caring for animals of all ages. I’ve always owned cats, from kittens to seniors, and am very comfortable caring for cats of all ages and temperaments! I’ve also lived with dogs throughout my life and have cared for friends’ and relatives’ pets while they were away. My experience includes walking, feeding, bathing, and administering medications for both dogs and cats when needed. I’m a huge animal lover and treat every pet like they’re my own. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently have open availability Monday through Friday, which gives me the flexibility to prioritize pet care throughout the week, including walks, visits, and in-home sitting. I’m also able to accommodate weekends when needed with advanced notice. I always care for pets as if they were my own and consistently follow their established routines as closely as possible! In a client’s home, I make sure feeding, walks, litter boxes, playtime, and any medications are handled on schedule, while also keeping their environment clean, calm, and comfortable. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs, whether that means giving dogs plenty of exercise and enrichment or providing cats with patience, quiet time, and space to adjust at their own pace. I also prioritize communication with pet parents and provide updates so they feel confident their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while they’re away.

“Lindsay was great!! I didn’t worry about a thing all weekend and knew that our dogs were in great hands. She updated us after every visit and sent the cutest pictures! Highly recommended!”

“Arianna was wonderful! She helped us in a last minute request for help. She sent us pictures of her visit and loving time with Charlie.”

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!

“Kathalin took excellent care of our pup! She was kind and a great communicator- we will definitely work with her again!”

John O.

“Watanya is the best cat sitter I’ve ever seen. She was consistent and thoughtful with our sweet senior cat. She fed and refreshed her water daily. After every visit, she sent an update with photos and videos so we could rest assured knowing our girl was in good hands. She really went above and beyond! Ombre ADORES her and we will certainly be booking her again! If you have a chance to work with Watanya, you should take it”

About: I had a small dog growing up from the ages of 12-22. I miss having a companion for my walks so this seems like a win for all! I have dog sat for several friends and family members over the years and am comfortable with all of the things that come with it. I’m self employed with a very flexible schedule so your pups won’t be left alone for more than a couple of hours, if at all! Lots of snuggles guaranteed! (Or awkward stares from the other side of the couch exchanged if your pup is more that speed) I’ve stayed in houses with cats as well so I can do the basics with them but would definitely consider myself more experienced with dogs! Self employed working tuesday-thursday in the summer so I have lots of flexibility especially when planning ahead! Im an early riser so morning visits are no problem for me! Weekends will be a little harder but depending one need I can probably make it work! I will respect all the rules you have and not take any liberties (i.e. if they cant have a small bite of sandwich, I wont secretly give them a bite) My dog was crate trained so I’m very comfortable with that. I will prioritize your dog’s safety and comfort and am pretty good at taking signals from them. The two dogs I typically dogsit for are both large dogs that are scaredy cats and can only walk certain routes (they aren’t brothers, just an incredible coincidence lol.) I’m very comfortable advocating for your pups if they need space/can’t be around people and will remove them from stressful situations. I’ll give them plenty of attention and love if that’s what they want, but if they just want someone nearby I’ll give them their space. Pretty much every dog in my life has been a diva so I understand the fine lines they have sometimes!

About: I’m a licensed veterinarian in Brazil and I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life. My father is a huge dog lover, so I grew up helping care for our family pets from a very young age. In Brazil, I had four dogs who are now happily living with my parents. Here in the U.S., I have my sweet mini Goldendoodle, Madalena, who is very friendly and loves having company. Because of my background in Veterinary Medicine and my lifelong experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities, I feel very confident providing safe, responsible, and attentive care. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I work at a coffee shop from 6:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. After 3:30 p.m., I’m fully available for pet care, including walks, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting. On Sundays and Mondays, I’m off from work and available all day for boarding, daycare, and other services. Your dog’s safety and comfort always come first. I offer a calm, clean, and cozy home environment where pets can relax, play, and feel secure. My mini Goldendoodle, Madalena, is very friendly and gentle, which helps visiting dogs feel more comfortable and welcomed. Whether your pet stays in my home or I care for them in yours, I always follow their routine exactly as instructed—feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and rest. I’m very attentive to body language and behavior to make sure each dog feels safe, respected, and stress-free. I provide constant supervision when I’m home, lots of love and positive interaction, and a peaceful space where dogs can settle in comfortably. My goal is to make every pet feel like part of the family.

“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.”

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 on with me or they could stay at the house and relax. Safety precautions vary with each situation. As I don’t host anymore, I welcome information from the client on this topic. This is one great thing about a meet and greet; to go over specifics❤️🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾
