Dog Sitting Byfield

About: 🐾 Pet Care Experience I've had two amazing Labrador Retrievers and truly understand the special bond between dogs and their families. Every dog who stays with me is treated like one of my own in a safe, calm, and loving home. My home is best suited for well-adjusted adult dogs who enjoy a calm environment and are comfortable with a typical weekday work schedule. I welcome one family's dog(s) at a time and never mix dogs from different households. This allows me to provide personalized attention in a quiet, low-stress environment where your dog can truly relax and feel at home. I work full-time during the weekdays (approximately 7:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m.). Before and after work, your dog will enjoy walks, playtime, enrichment, and plenty of affection. Evenings and weekends are dedicated to quality time together, and when my schedule allows, I may occasionally stop home during the day for an extra potty break. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply curling up on the couch, I'll tailor their care to their individual personality and routine. My goal is for every dog to feel comfortable, secure, and loved while you're away. You'll receive regular updates and photos throughout your dog's stay, so you can travel with confidence knowing your best friend is in caring, dependable hands. Schedule: I work Monday through Friday from approximately 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., making my home an excellent fit for adult dogs who are comfortable with a typical weekday routine. Before and after work, your dog will enjoy walks, playtime, enrichment, and plenty of one-on-one attention. Evenings and weekends are dedicated to quality time together, and when my schedule allows, I may occasionally stop home during the day for an extra potty break. I'm available for both weekday and weekend boarding and welcome longer stays. To provide each dog with the best possible experience, I host only one family's dog(s) at a time in my calm, loving home. Safety, Trust & Environment: Your dog will enjoy a safe, clean, and comfortable home where they'll be treated like part of the family. I welcome only one family's dog(s) at a time, creating a calm, low-stress environment with plenty of personalized attention. My home features a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely explore, play, and enjoy supervised outdoor time. I also live in a pet-friendly neighborhood that's perfect for daily walks and have nearby parks for even more exercise and enrichment. Whether your dog loves playing outside, going for walks, or simply relaxing indoors, I'll tailor their stay to their individual personality and routine. My goal is to provide a safe, loving home where every dog feels comfortable, secure, and cared for while you're away.

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.

About: I worked as a dog walker for a year where I walked 6 dogs at a time usually walking around 36 dogs per day. I would also brush out feed and give the dogs water and any meds they may need for the day. Lastly I grew up with dogs my entire life so I know how to care for them very well I an currently babysitting and looking to walk dogs in my free days as a summer job. I am available most days and am happy to do any length of walk or visit needed I have a fenced in large yard and 2 very friendly dogs so if I ever needed to bring your dog to my house it would be completely safe

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 have taken care of dogs since I was 10, including my own dog! Neighbors, friends, and family can rely on me to give their pets ample attention, long walks, and personal care. I am comfortable with dogs of many sizes and ages. I have experience working with senior dogs who require medication and special treatment, as well as puppies who need extra care while they learn the ropes. I work part-time and have an active lifestyle, so I can accommodate long walks during the day or stop by visits on the weekends. I have my own dog, whom I love to bring on off-leash walks multiple times a day, and who is friendly with other animals. I have a small fenced-in backyard, and a small dog who gets along well with others. Our backyard has a door with a handle rather than a doggy door that requires me to let the dogs out and watch them while they play to ensure their ultimate safety.

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

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.

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.

“Robyn is fantastic! Great communicator, timely, attentive to details, responsible, but most importantly our sometimes shy pup Brix LOVES her and has clearly been happy and relaxed each time we come home. She a Dog Whisperer(!) Highly recommend!”

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.

“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!”

“Samantha helped to drop visit our cats for a week. She was kind and easy to communicate, also was experienced for cat daily care. She even helped us to bring in the packages while we’re away. Appreciate her help and care!”

About: I have been surrounded by pets since I can remember! My family has had two black labs that I grew up with and my neighbors/friends/relatives have relied on me to feed, watch and care for their dogs as well. My college roommates and I fostered a cat for about three months before he was adopted and absolutely loved the experience. I am unable to own a pet right now because I recently graduated college and will be returning to school in the next few years, but I cherish any time I can get with animals because I miss having them around! I am currently working full-time (8-5) as a medical assistant and will be available for evening care during the week and all-day & night care on the weekends. I provide reliable and attentive care for pets in my client's home! I maintain their normal routine, feeding them and taking them outside on their schedule to make sure they are as comfortable as possible with me. I pay attention to specific needs, medications and instructions for care. I will make sure the pet receives love and attention, and also be sure to send regular updates to their owner.

“10/10 recommend! Laney dropped in fed and played with my cats she even got my shy cat to play too. She sent photos daily and I felt so comfortable with her as a sitter. I will definitely be booking again! ❤️”

“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!”

Jessica P.

“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.

“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.”

Michele P.

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