About: My family has always had at least one cat or dog, so I have grown up with these wonderful animals as well as learned how to care for them with walking, feeding, cleaning, playing, etc. I am familiar with the body language of dogs and cats and want to provide a fun and safe experience for them while taking into account their unique temperaments and personalities. I treat every dog and cat like the beloved family member that I know they are. I am a grad student at Salem State, so besides going to classes and completing my coursework, I am available. I would love to spend some of my time meeting and caring for your pet(s)! I am unavailable on Tues-Thurs mornings from 8:30-11am, Tues-Wed evenings from 4-7pm, and Thurs evenings from 6-9:30pm. I will treat your pets and your home with the utmost respect. I want to be an asset that will unobtrusively care for your animals in and outside your home. I know and honor how important every animal is in their family's life.

About: I first discovered my passion for animal care in fifth grade when I brought home and later adopted my class pet, Spot, an anole lizard who remained with our family for two years. Since then, I have continued developing hands-on experience caring for animals, including working with reactive dogs. During the pandemic, my family adopted our dog Henry, and through that experience I gained valuable insight into supporting dogs with anxiety and learning effective, patient approaches to behavioral management. I currently have full availability for the summer and am flexible in accommodating a wide range of pet care needs, including daytime, evening, and weekend care. I prioritize clear and consistent communication with pet owners to ensure I fully understand each pet’s individual needs and routine. My goal is to provide attentive, reliable care and make sure every pet is safe, comfortable, and receiving the highest quality care possible.
About: I love making friends with new animals! I have lived with, house sat, and taken care of cats and dogs.

I'm really looking forward to a wonderful opportunity to learn about all the different animal breeds out there and experience all your animals best qualities! I have a lot of free time right now as I am between life chapters. Pet care fits in perfectly with my active lifestyle and desire to take care and hang out with animals! I am used to working with scheduled meal times and administering medication if necessary. Long walks (or runs if you want!) with special attention to animal interactions, friendly or unfriendly. Any information you have for what your animal likes to do, I can do!

Halla is a lifesaver! Was visiting Salem from out of town with our pup Penny and needed a sitter/walker for a quick hour when we went to a museum where pets aren’t allowed. Halla was available last minute, met us where we were, was attentive and responsive to my messages and even sent me pics of our fur baby in the short time she had her. She was flexible with timing knowing that we might need a few minutes more to finish the exhibit and also with the rainy weather - Halla opened her home to Penny so she wouldn’t get soaked. She also answered some of my general questions about traveling to Salem from Boston and offered great advice. And I know Penny trusted her straight away - she didn’t fuss when we handed her over to this awesome pet sitter. Thank you Halla! We’ll call you when we come back :(
I’m so happy we found Jeremy to care for our dog! He is attentive and very communicative. I also loved that he thinks ahead of time. For example knowing it would rain he asked us to leave a towel to dry Jackson knowing he would get wet. We’ll definitely ask for his services again!
This was our first time having our dog walked by someone. Isabella was gentle, kind, and made us feel very comfortable. Our girl Ylva felt comfortable right away and was SO happy when she came back from her walk. We are so grateful for a positive first experience and will definitely book with Isabella again.
Stacey was so thoughtful when it came to preparing for Benji’s multiple walks! We never leave him for an entire day, Stacey was so accommodating and booked two walks for him in one day. She was so good with him, sent tons of photos, and was veryyy patient (he’s a marker). I know Benji had a fabulous time and was in good hands. Thanks Stacey!
