Dog Sitting in Ipswich

“Owen was great to work with. He added an extra visit in with no issues when one of my other sitters dropped out. We will keep him in mind for future visits.”

“Vanessa is a consummate professional. Even when she doesn't feel well, she will stay in communication and maintain her visits. She is extremely reliable.”

About: I've cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds since I was a kid, and been a dog mom myself for 12 years. I've done it all - from feeding, walks and playtime, to bathing and cleaning up accidental messes. I currently petsit for friends and family and love every second of it! I treat every animal I care for as if they were my own fur babies. I work from home and make my own schedule so I have lots of time and flexibility to stop in and take care of your furry friend! I'm comfortable walking multiple dogs on leashes and I'm extra patient with dogs who need a little extra support or guidance while on lead. I'm highly aware of my surroundings and keep playtime in safe, enclosed spaces your dog is comfortable in. And as I've cared for my dogs, as well as others' dogs, for about 20 years, I'm really good at reading dog body language and telling when they're tired, needing some rest or water, or still need a few more minutes of sniffing the neighbor's bushes :)

“Rylee was great! Communicated well. Will definitely use again.”

“Olivia is awesome! Our door was stuck shut when she arrived, but she communicated effectively and went above and beyond to make sure our furry friends got the care they needed!!! She rocks!!”

“Jacquelyn was amazing! She was right on time and took GREAT care of our two pups. She also sent pictures so we could see just how happy they were. I can't wait to take another day trip so that I have an excuse to aske her to come back and hang out with the dogs!”

About: I can take care of your whole menagerie! I specialize in livestock, but I can take care of anyone from a spider to a steer. I currently take care of 18 horses part-time. I used to be the long-time sitter for a pack of English Mastiffs. I also have taken care of my mother’s Rottweilers, chickens, geese, ducks, rats, and spiders. I have also taken many university biology courses, so if your friend is none of the above, I’m sure I can figure them out! I take care of horses part time in the late afternoon and evening, so I will be unavailable between 1330 and 1830 on most days. I may have the entire day available on Tuesday and Friday. I am a gentle, patient, and firm person. I pay attention what animals tell me through their body language and respect their boundaries. Whether we are on a walk or in your home, I consider what your friend would want to do rather than what I wish they would enjoy. I am not squeamish! I can do first aid for birds and mammals, I am also experienced in administering oral and injected medication. I do not have experience with using catheters. I will not care for animals with contagious diseases, fleas, mites, or venom that can kill a human (no cobra-sitting).

About: Every animal is unique, and I pride myself on understanding your pet's particular set of wants and needs and meeting them where they're at. If your pup is the type that jumps up off the couch to greet every person who walks in the door, I'll return that energy. If, like the Jack Russell I grew up with, they mostly want someone to feed them, walk them, and give them the occasional pet, I'll tend to their needs while giving them the space they want. And if, like my sister's dog, they're anxious about every new face they see, I'll approach them with the tact and patience they need to be comfortable. I've grown up with and cared for dogs for the past twenty years, and I've loved each and every one of them. I have experience caring for both puppies and seniors, walking large and reactive dogs, and administering meds. I am a full time student with the summer off, so I have a very flexible schedule and am able to attend to a wide variety of needs. Your pet's safety is always my number one priority. I like to have a full written list of their needs so that there is no room for confusion and to ensure I know about any quirks of theirs and/or worries of yours. I tend to send updates on a daily basis, but that can always be adjusted to a schedule that works better for you.

About: I have had a dog since I was 20. I truly love them, and know how important they are to their families. I will keep in contact with the owners through text/phone/photos I am available weekdays. I can arrange weekends on occasions. I am willing to stay at your home. I would take dogs on hikes or around neighborhood I have my own dog that loves all other dogs. Fully fenced in yard. I will send texts or photos to the owner. I am very trustworthy. I am a retired State Trooper. I am pet CPR and First Aid certified, as well as human CPR certified. I am always checking on them and concerned for their well-being and comfort. I enjoy spending time with them and staying active. I send video/ photo updates so you know all is well. no, I just adopted a 4 year old German Shepherd and he is very much attached to his daddy so I am not able to bring dogs here for overnight visits.

“Awesome”

“Jessica was great from the beginning. She contacted me immediately after I reached out. Very responsive and communicated well throughout the process. My cats were in great hands! I highly recommend Jessica for any house sitting needs.”

“Sara was wonderful. Harry and Will were happy and healthy when we returned home after a week on vacation. And She kept us connected with daily photos. We will definitely have her come back to take care of our boys!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 4 years , including those of friends, family, families I babysit for currently and prior, as well as two dogs of my own. I’m great at building trust with animals, and I’m dependable with feeding, walking, and playtime. Even without professional experience, I treat every dog like my own—with lots of love and attention. I’m available all day on Saturdays and Sundays, Friday and Wednesday mornings until 5 PM, and monday after 1 pm till 7:30 pm. My availability increases in late June adding Tuesdays into my schedule that I can work all day until 5pm. I care for pets in their own home so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I will follow your instructions carefully and treat your space and pet with respect and care. I will make sure to keep you updated with messages and photos so you know your pet is doing well!

“Emma was so wonderful taking care of my senior cat while I was on vacation. She is kind and communicative. I can’t recommend her enough, and will certainly continue to use her in the future.”

About: I have a lot of patience for animals and I love entertaining them, whether that’s playing with them or going on a long walk. For the younger ones, or ones that just have more energy, I would love to run them and keep them in shape. I am super flexible this summer, aside from a few weeks of travel, so whatever works for you works for me. My main priority is going to the gym, but other than that I’m all yours! Whether it’s feeding, walking, brushing, playing, or simply snuggling, I’m always giving my full attention and affection. Also, I think mental stimulation is often overlooked in animal care so I try to incorporate fun games and activities.

About: With a decade of pet ownership, service dog training, and breeding Eastern German shepherds, I offer extensive experience and a deep understanding of canine care. Your pet will be in knowledgeable and caring hands. I am currently a full-time student, I am free to give your Dogs the attention they deserve from 9am till 2pm and then I am available 5pm onwords. Experienced in large and working breeds, I prioritize pets' well-being, respect boundaries, and communicate openly to provide tailored, top-notch care. Your dog's happiness and health are my top priorities.

“Moxie (and myself) felt comfortable immediately. She has a a real -natural personality. She gave Moxie great care while we were away. It can be odd to hand your house keys off to strangers but I trusted her 100%. Would most definitely hire her again.”

About: I grew up with golden retrievers and have raise my own dog since she was a rambunctious puppy. I have experience training puppies, high energy dogs, dog and cats needing medication. My work schedule is variable but provides me with at least 4 days a week to walk or pet sit! Please reach out and maybe we can make something work! I have a fenced in yard and one teenage lab retriever to keep your pet company! As my dog is high energy, we spend a lot of time outside. We often run, walk, play fetch and just basking in the sun on nice days!
