Pet Sitting in Essex

“Leslie is great with my persnickety older Shih Tzu, never know which attitude of Lola’s you’ll get, but she’s always happy to see Leslie. Leslie’s detailed communication and pictures give me peace of mind when I’m away. I know Lola is in great hands.”

“Elaine is the most attentive, loving, and communicative person. The care that my dog received from Elaine is the same care I give her. To work and have complete trust that my pup is being loved, played with, and walked was comforting beyond words.”

“Another outstanding experience with Alicia!”

“Kiley did a great job. Reliable and attentive. Our cat was very happy when we got back but did not seem anxious or upset. She sometimes is when we have gone away in the past. Highly recommend Kiley.”

“Tyler is the absolute best at taking care of my needy, giant baby of a cat. His patience knows no bounds and his daily notes are hilarious. 100% recommend!”

“Sophie is amazing with animals, first off. You can tell that she really loves looking after them. She watched my skiddish cat for three days and by the time I got home, her and Oscar were buds. Very reliable and professional. Highly recommend!”

“Collette was perfect for us and our cat. Came every day as planned, gave detailed summaries and pictures. Would absolutely use her again!”

About: My family has had two cats since I was born. I love taking care of them, playing with them and snuggling with them. I owned a Guinea pig for many years and he was well taken care of. I have grown up around small and medium sized dogs and have been a dog sitter for friends and family. I have fed both cats and dogs, taken dogs on walks and taken care of whatever they might need. I will take care of your pet as if it is my own! I work part-time so I have a flexible schedule Monday- Sunday and most holidays. I am able and willing to make any time work for you. I am a college student so I am home for the summer but will be going back to school in August. With new clients I would like to schedule a meet and greet so that I know how to best take care of your pet. I am more than capable to provide any service that your pet might need and will make sure that your pet is happy and healthy when you return!

About: Being around animals has always come natural to me. As a child I had dogs and cats that were my best friends. As an adult, I was blessed to love two Chesapeake Bay retrievers and 4 wonderful cats, a bearded dragon, many fish and a few turtles. I have a beautiful orange cat that I care fore now. He has diabetes so he get's a shot twice a day and loves to cuddle. I would love your pet as my own, with the utmost of love and care. Let me know if you have any special requests or care needs. I also have a fenced in yard, and love to walk/jog, company welcome. I have weekends off and can do some early morning and evening walks or sleepovers during the week with notice. We can work out the details. Weekends I'm available to take care of your precious fur-ball. I work full time M - F but can be flexible if given enough notice. I have a decent size back and side yard for off leash, ball/stick throwing, and love to take walks/ jogs if they're up for it. Inside your pet is welcome to roam freely. There is plenty of room for a crate or bed depending on your preference. I'm up early most days, (5 am) and ready to go.

“Sophia is an amazing pet-sitter! My cats tend to get into trouble whenever I travel for work, so she’s been an absolute lifesaver. I was nervous to leave my pets with a stranger, but they were instantly so comfortable around her. Even my shy cat (who usually hides from guests) came out to greet her. She’s also a great communicator and was willing to work with my complicated schedule. If you need someone to look after your kitty, Sophia is a great choice!”

“Diane was excellent with our two cats! She was very responsive, incredibly thorough, and completely professional. She sent us updates and kept us informed of how the cats were doing during our time away. I would recommend Diane to anyone!”

“I have known Jaelyn my entire life. She has always amazed me, in the way that she cares for all animals who surround her. She is one of the few people I trust to take care of my fur babies. Jaelyn has taken care of animals since I can remember, and has a ton of experience. I truly recommend her for any or all of your needs. Your animals will always be well taken care and loved as if they were her own.”

“Whitney agreed to do a drop in on Duncan on short notice. I leave a list suggestions for Duncans care and Whitney did them all!! The first time I met her I new she was a dog lover. My dog took to her immediately. I came home today and Duncan was happy and well exercised. As you can see from the pics Whitney not only took him for a walk, but threw the frisbee countless times. I was very happy with Whitney's care of Duncan I highly recommend her.”

“I reached out last minute to Jessilyn to have her walk & feed our 4.5 month old puppy while my husband and I were at work. She responded super quick & met me in person the next day. She did great with Franklin & stuck to his routine, including training sessions. She also sent multiple photos & updates & even brought in our mail! She goes above & beyond. We will definitely book with Jessilyn again.”

“Noah cared for my lab/hound mix on several occasions. I adopted my dog when he was 3 months old (in 2013) and Noah stopped by my house several days a week to feed, walk, and hang out with my dog during the day while I was at work for the first several months. My dog also stayed with Noah at his home on several long weekends from 2013-2016 when I was living in Massachusetts. Noah is a natural when it comes to dog care and training. He was interested in understanding the training I was doing so that my dog was learning and being rewarded consistently. I trusted Noah in my home and with my dog, and he was very dependable.”

“Very attentive and prompt!”

“Elene is a dog lover who grew up with dogs and is now pursuing a degree in Canine Training and Management. She understands that different dogs have different capacities for understanding and meets each dog on their own level. She uses positive reinforcement and consistent commands to encourage each dog to be their best and of course to have fun! She is great at communicating with pet parents and is happy to send photos! Elene loves animals and it’s obvious when you see her interacting with them. My dogs always wag their tails when they see her coming!”

“Kailee is outstanding with dogs. She has 2 Bernese Mountain dogs in the family, and she is always involved in the care of the dogs, feeding, walking. I highly recommend Kailee, she has a very friendly, calm demeanor that dogs enjoy being around her.”

“Ryan is a great dog sitter!! He took such amazing care of our puppy Louk. He was attentive and thoughtful with Louk, and communicated very well with us throughout each stay. He is a pro!”

“To say Carolyn was excellent is an understatement! We needed someone to watch our puppy while we skied at Mt. Snow, and she made us feel so comfortable, and secure leaving our pup alone. She was a huge help and would highly recommend Carolyn!”
