“Brooke was amazing caring for our dog Zoey while we were away. We were hesitant on which route to take to care for Zoey on our 6 day vacation. We decided on using Brooke with multiple services and she exceeded our expectations. She was in contact with us daily with photos and communication. I will most definitely be recommending her to other dog families in need.”

“Elizabeth wonderful to work with and our rambunctious puppy absolutely loves her. She is very patient and kind and helps to reinforce Nova’s training. We know that she will take great care of our girl while we are away.”

“Best dog walker I've ever had! Collette is reliable and it is obvious that she truly loves dogs. My great dane Gus (who can be a bit of a handful) always lights up when he sees her! Could not recommend Collette enough, she is one of a kind! <3”

About: I grew up with dogs, cats, and a bunch of other animals, and I have always loved taking care of them. My family, neighbors, and friends have all relied on me to take care of their pets over the years, whether it's for walks, check-ins, or overnights, and I would love to do the same for your pet. I'm a college student and have plenty of time during the week for quick check-ins and walks, and I will be able to stay overnight most weekdays and on weekends. I am very comfortable around dogs and would have no problem going on walks, crating your dog, administering most medicine, or doing any other tasks that may be required.

About: I’ve been a loving and devoted dog owner since I was ten. I’ve raised both small and large breed dogs from puppyhood. In addition, I’ve been a foster mom to many dogs of various ages and breeds through Great Dog Rescue. I enjoy getting outdoors, rain or shine, walking and playing with these wonderful animals. My dogs get are doted on with lots of cuddles and attention. I currently have a very friendly Bernese Mountain dog who gets along well with other dogs. I am available full-time to care for your fur baby. I could offer daily exercise and plenty of individual attention to your pup at my home or yours. I have a house with a big yard on a quiet cul-de-sac. Either in your home or mine, I would take your dog out on a leash to make sure it stays safe. Having hosted many rescue dogs, I know how to care for nervous animals and they have thrived under my care.

About: I LOVE ALL PETS BIG AND SMALL. I WILL MAKE THEM A PRIORITY AND GIVE THEM THE CARE THEY ARE LOOKING FOR. NO WORRY NEEDED! I WORK 6:30-12:30 MONDAY - FRIDAY. I LIVE IN IPWICH AND WORK IN CHELSEA. AVAILABLTY IS MORE EARLY AFTERNOONS THROUGH NIGHT. AVAILABLE ANY DAYS NEEDED. I HAVE TWO FRIENDLY CATS.

I DO TAKE LONG WALKS DAILY AND WOULD LOVE COMPANY. I AM VERY ACTIVE AND WOULD CARE FOR YOUR ANIMAL WITH ALL MY ATTENTION.

About: My name is Meryn DeSimone, I am 22 and recently graduated from Elon University. I've taken care of a variety of different of animals and truly love spending time with pets! I currently have a chinchilla, Frank and a leopard gecko, Sally. My parents have two dogs also, Kip and Hammy and I have grown up with having dogs and cats around so they are second nature to me. I consider myself to be an organized and dedicated person with a big heart for animals. I would be more than happy to assist with any local pet care needs. I have plenty of time in the afternoon after my classes and I would love to spend that time going on a walk or taking care of pets! I can walk the dogs for long enough to make sure they are tired, feed them, clean up after them and even give medications or special requests that the animals would need!

“Sheila is great! She took care of my two dogs this evening and made them feel comfortable. One of my dogs has a severe anxiety disorder so taking him for a walk is no easy feat. She handled it and got him to walk for her. I am so grateful to Sheila for this. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs a dog walker.”

About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life. I’ve fed them, walked them and help take care of them. I have walked dogs and pet sit for 5years. Animals are so relaxing and fun. I’m a stay at home mom so I have a lot of free time while my kids are at school. I can provide dog walking and/or pet sitting I can either have dogs at my place which has a fenced in yard or can do drop in visits. I unfortunately cant stay at anyones house due to having kids and a dog myself

“Bella visited with Sonny again this past week on Tuesday & Wednesday & he was very happy to see her! They are forming a lovely bond & we are very grateful for the loving care she provides to our little guy!”

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’ve taken care of friends and family’s dogs for years now. More cats than dogs but just about the same experience and love of course! I currently work part time as a waitress night shifts! During the daytime I am completely available! My days are quite boring, I’d love to fill that space by spending time with animals! I love cats and dogs just as if they are family! Safety and care is always a number one priority to me. Treating your animals like they are my own is a priority.

About: I have my very own rescued golden retriever/hound mix named Goldfish. He’s taught me the importance of patience, slow introductions and the power of treats! I have experience working with large breeds, anxious dogs, reactive dogs and senior dogs with special needs. I’m also a runner so I’d be happy to take your high energy pups on a run! I have a flexible schedule since I work part time. I will be available to hang out with your pups most days of the week! I’m attune to dog body language and make sure to read their cues when approaching them. I’ll be sure that they’re secure when entering and exiting a home. When we’re on walks, I’ll make sure that they don’t get into things when they’re not supposed to and be cautious of other dogs and people.

About: Taking care of dogs has been a part of my daily life for as long as I can remember, whether it be the family dogs or shelter dogs in need of some extra love. I am experienced in walking all types of dogs. From tiny chihuahuas to great danes, highly active pets to couch potatoes, I strive to meet every animals needs while they are away from their owner. I have experience walking multiple dogs at once and giving commands during walks. I am available at all times of day and have a car that can transport your pups! I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to base my day around when I need to care for dogs. I frequently go for walks (short or long) and love to have dogs join me. When caring for pets I always take the dog or cat’s personality, energy level, and special requirements into consideration. All dogs and cats are unique, so I strive to create the best experience and environment possible for each animal by catering to their specific needs.

“I just started with Laura a week ago. So far Laura and my dog are creating a wonderful bond. Laura is terrific! She is trustworthy, she has a key to my home. I love all the footage I receive whilst she’s with my large dog. I’m very impressed with Laura’s depth of knowledge in dog care. Also she is very humble in her personal accomplishments relating to human and animal communication and skills. I highly recommend Laura.”

About: I am a 32-year-old living in a house in Wenham (with a large backyard!) with flexible work hours. I work from home, and I'm a writer so hours are flexible, so I can take your dog for a walk whenever you need me to. I am responsible, kind, and athletic, and would love taking your dog on a long neighborhood walk, a dog park, or another location you'd prefer. I’ve been a Rover sitter for over five years, and have watched all kinds of pups! Young or old, big or small, energetic and outgoing or shy and timid… I’ve watched (and loved) them all! Being a Rover sitter is truly one of my biggest joys. As someone who loves dogs but doesn’t have one yet myself, I will truly treat your pup like my own and make sure he or she has a fantastic time away :) I am a previous pet owner myself -- growing up I had an incredibly energetic golden retriever dog, as well as a cat who lived 15 years. I also used to volunteer at the Ipswich Animal Shelter because I love all animals! I work a 9-to-5 job from home, but my role as a writer means I have limited meetings — so I have a lot of flexibility to take your pup for walks and play with him or her throughout the day. I follow the owner’s advice when it comes to how to make the animal feel safe and comfortable in my home. I ensure I am always aware of where the pup or cat is and watch them so they don’t get themselves into harm’s way, and I follow the animal’s lead when it comes to whether they want to be picked up or pet or whether they want space to explore a bit. I work full-time from home, and as a writer I have a flexible schedule to play and walk your pet throughout the day as well as on weekends. We have a house in Wenham, and I always ensure anything potentially dangerous is off the floor before a pup comes over. I also make sure they have their own space in my house on a dog bed or blanket with toys so they feel safe and welcomed.
