About: I’ve been a pet parent to my dog Stella for 5 years! I love being a dog parent and make sure to give her the best dog life. I also grew up with dogs during my childhood. I work from home and go on long walks with Stella 2-3x day. I’ve had Stella for 5 years so I’m used to working my schedule around her and being flexible. I have a big yard that I can let dogs out for potty breaks or some nice sun bathing! I also let Stella on our furniture and she would be happy to share her favorite spots on the couch.
“Kiley was amazing with my cat Fred. She was punctual and took such good care of him while I was away. He loves attention and I could tell by all the great photos she was giving him plenty. I will definitely be requesting her in the future and would highly recommend her for your petsitting needs.”
About: I've grown up around animals and have been helping neighbors and family members care for their pets. My experience has made me dependable and loving in animal care. With my college schedule at Suffolk University, I'm available for pet care on Tuesday, Thursday, and weekends, offering flexible and reliable services for your pets! I prefer to care for pets at the client's home, ensuring they feel comfortable and secure in their own space. As a friendly cat owner, I understand the importance of personalized, loving care.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for most of my life - huskies, goldens, and many types of cats. I raised and house trained a wild kitten last year and love spending time out walking with my two current huskies. I’ve taken care of them through surgeries, injuries and medications. I love animals and care very much about their joy and overall wellbeing. I would love to help get your dogs out walking or to simply spend some time giving some extra love to your furry friends. :) I have a fairly open schedule this summer. Generally, I am available mornings, afternoons and evenings for walks or at home check-ins. Overnight care can be discussed if it is needed, depending on my schedule. I am available to walk, play with, feed, or just watch over your animals if you are away. I love to take my dogs for beach, forest or simple town walks.

I have volunteered at a local animal rescue for 7 years as well as worked at a dog kennel for 3 years. I have knowledge in giving oral medications and injectable medications, and I am CPR certified for pets. I also know how to give baths! I worked a a veterinary clinic for 2 years, and currently work with mice and rats. I currently have 2 dogs, Charliee and Teddy, and 2 rats named Graham and Cracker!

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!
About: I have been dog sitting since I was in middle school. Friends, family, friends of friend, and neighbors have trusted me with their furry family members. As someone who has a little pup myself, I know the care and consideration each individual animal needs and deserves. I've worked with a variety of breads, behaviors, and ages and feel equipped to ensure a safe walk, play time, or check in for your dog. Personally, I've adopted a puppy Cairn Terrier, Ruckus. I've loved training with him, creating a bond, and learning more about dog behavior. It's been a really fun journey. He's a sassy little guy. I have been off Rover for the past few years, moving around and attending Grad School. I am excited to be back to help the Essex community care for their pets. I currently work from home, full time. I have flexibility in my schedule to do walks and drop in visits for your dog. Where I can provide full and undivided attention. When I have a dog I'm looking after, I will ensure safety and fun - however that looks for your doggie. Going for a walk, playing catch in the yard, or even just laying on the couch getting some pets. Your pet will be my priority for the duration of my visit.
About: Experienced dog-owner, trainer of former AKC and Westminister champion, I have a unique background in caring for pets. Plus, my 13-year-old son and I are quite active. Places your pet will enjoy off or on leash may include: Crane's Beach, Wingarsheek Beach, Good Harbor Beach, Appleton Farms, Willowdale State Park, Plum Island, Maudsley State Park. Depending upon your dog's preference's and obedience/recall level, I can customize the time we spend together while you are out doing what you need to do. Mountain biking, hiking, swimming, a visit to Essex Coop for a treat, or, if time allows and you need someone to bring your dog to obility or agility classes, I can handle this with aplomb. And, there is plenty of cuddle time, down time we can work into the schedule too. Looking forward to working with you and your fur baby! I currently am self-employed so my schedule has great flexibility.

Because I am so confident in her ability and care as a dog caregiver, I have recommended her to all of my friends and family member. She has even watched my parents’ dog several times, and my dad’s cat twice. I highly recommend Brooke. Your dog is in safe, kind, loving hands - it is like leaving your dog with family. Thank you, Brooke!”
