Top rated Derry cat sitters
“My very shy, people-avoidant cat loves Kristy!! Kristy is super responsive and understanding about special quirks with my very specific and senior cat. So grateful to have her in the area!”
“Amanda was great!! She took care of my little kitty while away on vacation. Made sure his food and water was always stocked and played and sat outside with him. Definitely would recommend!”
“Liz is the best cat sitter I've had in the area so far! She won over even my shy kitties, starting with the meet and greet. She always stayed a few extra minutes with them which I appreciated because some Rover sitters don't even stay the full time. And I appreciated how she genuinely seemed to really like my kitties too 😺😺😺”
“Samantha was so great with our hyperactive nutball German shepherd Remington! We get nervous leaving her with people but she responded so amazingly to Samantha! Very clear that she loves animals and it showed with how happy our pup was!”
“Ryan was absolutely amazing with our cats! He went above and beyond to make sure they were cared and loved for. We highly recommend Ryan and the cats can’t wait to see him again!”
About: I've been caring for animals my entire life, from tiny kittens to large senior dogs. My experience includes in home care for multiple pets at once, senior dog care with special needs, and providing daily care for Yorkshire Terrier and a high-energy cattle dog - both over a year. I've also shared 16 loving years with my Bombay Cat, providing attentive care through injuries and end-of-life needs, and now I have a well-trained, happy Cockapoo of my own (plus I dog-sit for her brother!) I have experience with directed senior pet care, administering basic medications (including subcutaneous fluids), and light training. My lifelong love for animals means I treat every pet like family - whether it's long walks, gentle care for older pets, energetic playtime, or plenty of cuddles. What sets me apart is my ability to adapt to to each animal's unique personality and needs, my patience, and dedication to creating a safe, loving environment where pets feel at home. During the week I am lucky to work a remote position at a software consulting firm that I have worked at for over 15 years. This makes it easy to work wherever I need to, and provides the opportunity to spend more time at home with my pup, but also opens up my time before and after my regular work day, also a flexible lunch hour for midday check-ins. On walks, I make sure your pet is safe, happy, and engaged. During visits I make sure to be attentive to your pet and that they feel secure.
“Courtney went above and beyond to take care of our cat Nugget. Not only did she do everything we asked, but spent extra time to try to interact and play with our sweet but very shy cat. By the end of the week she had earned enough trust that she was able to pet her! I think that alone speaks volumes since Nugget is scared of everyone and doesn’t get close enough to strangers to be touched. Not only do we recommend Courtney to anyone who is in need of her service, but we’re completely looking forward to being able to book her the next time we are away.”
About: All animals seem to love me. So assure you, your dog will. I’ve never run into a dog that didn’t like me yet! I have a passion for dog baths and interactive play! I love a good game of tug-of-war or fetch. I also love doggy kisses and spending quality time with each doggy I meet! I work weekends only so I have plenty of time to spend with your animals throughout the day. I can do any task given to me with patience, kindness and grace! I feel that pets love to be in their own home because that is where they feel most comfortable since that’s the space they’ve always known. At home, we have all the tools we need to be successful in our visit and the love of a companion to make it even better!
About: Grew up with a family English Bulldog who I became an active caretaker for in highschool since I was home so much! Also BLS certified in canines as it is an EMS requirement in MA. Experience with walking stubborn dogs, feeding, cleaning and play time! I am an EMT with a variable schedule. The more notice I have the better but I do my best to adjust my weekly schedule around the shifts I’ll be working each week! I am willing to follow any routines or safety plans you have in place for your pets. I am happy to crate or place them wherever you prefer but appreciate set instructions on how best to keep them safe!
“Kelsey is an amazing pet sitter! She came over to meet myself and my cat prior to the visits and my cat loved her right away! Getting her updates was the highlight of my days while I was away. Came home to a very happy kitty! I will for sure be using Kelsey’s services again!!”
About: Hi! My name is Kristina or I also go by Kris. I used to walk dogs for a company in Massachusetts over the summer and then I worked as a kennel attendant at an animal hospital for a few months during the spring. I’ve taken classes at a community college in animal care and I really enjoyed it! Please reach out to me if you’d like to meet! I would love to walk your pup or pups! Thank you so much! I am available to work Monday through Friday up until 3pm! I am currently on summer break so unfortunately once the school year starts back up my availability will go down. I am not available to pet sit at my home, as well as yours because of my schedule. However, I am more than willing to dog walk or do drop-in visits!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for years as a side job. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and love on their pets while they are away. I love both dogs and cats and I have had different pets of my own. I currently just have a kitten now. I love to be active and walk dogs on long walks or play fetch with them. Most pets usually feel comfortable with me fast and we get along great. I don’t have pets of my own right now, so I’m available full-time and can also do overnight stays if needed. At the moment, I’m focusing on house sitting. The way I like to care for pets is with a calm and positive energy. I allow a natural connection to form where they can trust me and I keep up their routine so they feel comfortable.
About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life, and helped others with their own. I have a fur baby of my own luna! She loves making new friends if your fur baby likes other doggos! I’m willing to work with your schedules. Send me a message and we can see what works best! I’m good for Drop ins, walks, sitting, etc. I’m here to help! I have a fur baby of my own that loves other dogs and cats (sometimes) , and I’m always looking for new friends to go on walks with.
About: I have grown up with cats and dogs (also horses, goats and a pig) most of my life. Had my current dog now for 6 years and my cat 8 months. Have been cat sitting for a friend 1-2 years I am a mom to many kids that are now adults except for 1 in high school. So my schedule has opened up a lot. I would come to your home alone aka without my fur babies to ensure your pet get my full attention and so they feel the most comfortable in their usual environment.

When she is at my house, it is usually lively and the grandkids are running around and there is a lot of noise. Nadine always has her eye on her dog and she is very gentle with her commands. Nadine loves to give belly rubs to her dog, take her for hikes around where she lives and her dog is her constant companion. Nadine would make a wonderful dog walker!”

“I’ve known Olivia for years and she’s definitely a good egg. She’s spent a lot of time with our family and our dogs and I swear our pitbull mix (Athena) loves her more than me. She just walks Athena sometimes without us even having to ask her. She’s very reliable and punctual when she’s driven me to the airport. She’s a great asset”

“Kristina is the best person I know to look after anyone's pet! She has lots of experience watching after other people's pets and I have seen her show lots of attention and responsibility for them as if they are her own. And I think that's an important trait to have as a dog walker as she will put as much heart into her clients pets as she does her own!”
