House Sitting in Gloucester

“Jessica is a dog-whisperer! Our dog Timba immediately fell in love with her. Jessica looked after our two "shell-shocked" dogs with love and care. They have recently been transplanted from abroad and have had a hard time living in a more "socialized"environment. Jessica's dog expertise offered them a calming caretaker and allowed them to settle into a new relationship over a couple of days. We are very happy to have found Jessica and highly recommend her.”

“Crystal was able to help me on short notice and even was able to stay a bit longer when I was in a bit of a pickle.”

“Wiktoria was great. She stayed at my cottage with my big dog (~100 lbs) for a weekend. I received updates through the weekend and went above & beyond to ensure Monty had a good time. Came back to a happy dog and clean cottage.”

“Henry did a wonderful job caring for our two golden retrievers and our house over two weeks. He seems to really love dogs, and took them for walks and let them out (even at midnight) when they needed it. Also came back mid-day from work to check in on them. Very pleased, and would recommend Henry highly.”

“Lauren was fantastic with Atlas. She was also very communicative with pics, updates, and asking questions when he got anxious about a party next door and how to best support him. Will definitely book with her again!”

“Sarah is an attentive and caring sitter. She treated my home as her own and was so careful with my senior citizen and my little troublemaker. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Sarah again!”

“We couldn’t say enough great things about Matt! He was beyond awesome. Not only did he take great care of our pups, communicate every step of the way but he also helped do some odds and ends around the house. We would highly recommend using Matt for your pup needs!”

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.

“Jacklyn was amazing! I was very nervous that my dog would be scared, and Jak put me at ease with great communication and videos. She was able to get my shy dog to warm up to her, through cuddles, frequent play sessions, and time outside. She definitely knows how to work with animals and I would recommend her!”

“Carol was fantastic. She stayed in our house for 3 nights and gave us daily updates with videos, pictures, and audio messages. She did a great job taking care of the creatures (including a high energy 7 month old puppy) and leaving the house clean. We highly recommend her!”

About: I can take your dog on a short walk or can take your dog on longer walks such as hiking or going to the beach where they will get lots of exercise and/or socialization if needed. You won’t have to worry if your furry companion is lonely or bored when they are in my care! I love getting to know each individual dog and will cater to their specific needs. I have previous experience house sitting, dog walking, and making drop-in visits from my own business I started. I have a B.S. in Equine Studies, which has given me knowledge of basic small and large animal health, nutrition, diseases, and care. I have my own 2 year old Lab mix named Rory so dealing with puppies or energetic dogs is no problem for me! I can also provide longer visits at the home for those families who are away long periods of time during the day and want their furry friends to have a few hours of socialization. I offer this at a specialized rate, for about 2-3 hours at a time.

“Kara did a very nice job sitting for our two dogs at our house. Dogs were well taken care of, and the house was in perfect shape on our return. We will definitely use Kara again. Bob”

“Matthew is an excellent dog sitter. Taught our pup some new tricks. Loved the communication and photo/video updates throughout our trip. I trust Matthew with our puppy and would certainly book again in the future.”

I am a student and have plenty of time on weekends and between classes to care for and walk the pups! I love walks too! I will cater to whatever specific needs or requests you have. My schedule is very flexible as well so just let me know what you need and I can help you!

“Jacquelyn took great care of my dog and my place while I was away! So happy to have found her! Would definitely recommend and book with her again!”

About: I grew up in a household that always had pets which made me adore them! I’ve cared for dogs, cats, Guinea pigs and even rats so I understand the importance of your pets health and wellness. I’m usually always available and I have plenty of time for potty breaks and play as I am an online student working towards acquiring my GED. My #1 priority is making sure your pet gets the absolute best best care while you are away. When taken out to play he/she will always be fenced in at dog park or in yard. I will give text updates/pictures. Client can call/ text at all times to check up. I Will always respect the clients wishes.

“Kerry was absolutely amazing with our pup and seems like just an awesome human all around. We came home after a long day out with young kids to a happy and well exercised pup and even a cleaned up kitchen!”

About: Hello! I'm a lifelong animal lover who has been both a dog and cat owner for more than 20 years. Caring for pets has always been a meaningful part of my life, and I understand how important it is to know your furry family members are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. I currently do not have any pets of my own, which gives me the flexibility to help other pet owners enjoy their summer travels with peace of mind. I especially believe that pets are often happiest when they can remain in their own familiar environment. Staying in their own home helps reduce stress and allows them to maintain their normal routines, providing a greater sense of comfort and ease. I am dependable, timely, and clean, and I take pride in treating both your pets and your home with the utmost respect. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I will provide attentive, personalized care tailored to their needs. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and helping make your time away as worry-free as possible. I have a flexible schedule and am happy to accommodate your pet's specific needs and routine. Whether it's daily walks, feeding schedules, medication reminders, playtime, or check-ins at particular times of day, I will do my best to work around the schedule that keeps your pet comfortable and happy. I understand that consistency is important for pets, and I am committed to maintaining their normal routine while you're away. Simply let me know your preferences and your pet's needs, and I will be happy to accommodate them. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care that gives both you and your pet peace of mind. I enjoy caring for pets in their own homes because it allows them to remain in a familiar environment with their established routines. I believe this minimizes stress and disruption, helping pets feel more comfortable, secure, and relaxed while their owners are away. Building trust with both pets and their owners is very important to me. I take the time to learn your pet's habits, preferences, and daily schedule so I can provide care that is consistent with what they are used to. Whether it's feeding times, walks, playtime, medication, or special instructions, I am committed to maintaining the level of care and attention you provide for your animal every day. I also understand the responsibility that comes with caring for your home and your pets. You can count on me to be dependable, respectful, attentive, and communicative throughout my time with your furry family members.

About: I’m Sofie! New to Rover 🐾 I’ve been pet & house sitting (also babysitting) for a few years on my own and I’d love to meet your fur babies as well! Being around animals is a big part of my life. I grew up on a farm with dogs, cats, chickens, horses, sheep, and more!! 😂🐾💕 I can work around your needs, whether that’s walks, drop-ins, or overnight care. I work part time as a behavior technician and have a flexible schedule. As a pet parent myself, I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family member. I share my life with my cat, Diego, and my dachshund, Leo, who keep me laughing every day. I’ll always follow your pet’s routine, respect your instructions, and make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while they’re in my care.

About: I adore both cats and dogs and love opportunities to spend time with them. I have over ten + years of experience taking care of both. I also have experience taking care of pets in their senior years. I love the outdoors and I am very active, I want nothing more to enjoy the outdoors with a fur friend! I am available for house and pet sitting. I work in a restaurant a few nights a week, so I have all day until about 3pm for long walks and playing. I deeply care for animals well being, I do everything I can to make sure pets get enough attention, care and love while their owners are away. I have also been a caretaker for an estate for 12 years so I have a lot of valuable experience in basic home care and maintenance. I was also a farmer so I have your plants under control as well!
