Pet Sitting in Lynn

About: I am a college student who majors in Biomedical Sciences and plans to attend veterinary school after graduation. I have always had a love for animals, especially dogs, since I was young, and have helped care for my own dog since childhood. My passion for animal care has been my motivation to pursue a future in veterinary medicine. Along with caring for my own dogs, I have had experience with dog sitting and dog walking. I am comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities while making sure they are happy, safe, active, and well cared for. I am currently a college student home for summer break, and I am looking for part-time work. I am available almost every day until August 1st. I will be home again for Thanksgiving break, winter break, and spring break. When caring for pets in my client's home, I would follow the pet's normal routine and follow any additional instructions my client has left me while playing and caring for their pet.

“Very attentive to my cat’s needs. Great with communicating what’s going on at home. Makes me feel comfortable knowing she’s being taken care of very well.”

Savannah O.

“Charlie was absolutely lovely. Very professional while still being friendly and not too formal. Communication was clear and prompt from the planning of the meeting to the actual visits caring for my dog. Definitely will be reaching out again when I next need a dog sitter”

About: With 30 years in pet care and 50 years of animal ownership, I bring a deep love for animals to every client. I’m a stay-at-home mom and I volunteer and intern with a wildlife rehabilitator. From dogs to birds, bunnies, hamsters, and more, I’ve cared for them all—in-home and in clients’ homes—delivering compassionate, personalized pet care. Being a stay-at-home mom gives me the time and dedication to care for your pet or pets either in my home or in your home. Your pet(s) are welcome to stay in my home, a loving, safe, and pet-friendly environment, or I can care for them in your own home—whichever you prefer. They will receive the utmost love and care, which they deserve while you are away.

About: I grew up with a dog and have continued caring for dogs through friends and family over the years. I’m confident with daily responsibilities including walking, feeding, refreshing water, waste clean-up, and playtime. I’m comfortable with different ages, temperaments, and energy levels, and I prioritize safety, consistency, and attentive care. While I’m currently a cat owner, I genuinely enjoy working with dogs and providing dependable, responsible support for their routines. I work full-time as a teacher, which allows for consistent afternoon and evening availability during the school year. I’m flexible for drop-in visits after school hours and on weekends. I’m also widely available during school holidays, vacation weeks, and summer break. I have reliable transportation and am happy to travel locally to provide dependable, timely care At home, I care for my cat, Pinot, with a consistent routine such as measured feedings, fresh water, daily litter scooping and playtime to keep him active. I bring that same attentiveness into every drop-in visit. I respect each pet’s routine, move at their comfort level, and make sure they feel safe, seen, and cared for. I also send thoughtful updates so you know exactly how your pet is doing.

About: What sets me apart? Well, for starters, I’ve spent 15 years surrounded by cats and dogs, so at this point I’m basically fluent in “meow,” “woof,” and “treat‑now‑please.” I have a super flexible daily schedule, which means I can work around your pet’s routine—not the other way around. As a cat parent to four furry supervisors, I’m totally comfortable with litter boxes, medications, picky eaters, shy personalities, and pets who require a little extra patience or senior care. Whether your pet wants playtime, cuddles, quiet company, or someone who understands their quirks, I’m here to make them feel safe, loved, and completely at home. My goal is simple: you relax, knowing your pet is getting the same care and affection I give my own. I am free all day, every day (mostly) and at all hours. I like to wake up early so no issues with early calls! If you want me to jog with your dog instead of walking, I can do that too. When I’m caring for pets—whether in your home or out on a walk—my top priorities are safety, comfort, and keeping your pet’s routine exactly how you like it. I treat every animal like they’re one of my own (and with four cats at home, I’ve had plenty of practice being lovingly bossed around). For dog walks, I always use secure leashes, stay alert to surroundings, avoid unsafe areas, and follow your dog’s pace and preferences. No risky encounters, no off‑leash surprises—just safe, happy walks. For kitty care, I keep things calm, clean, and predictable. I’m comfortable giving medications, deep‑cleaning litter boxes, and making sure your cat has fresh water, a tidy space, and whatever level of attention they prefer—whether that’s playtime, cuddles, or simply being admired from across the room. My goal is simple: you should feel completely at ease knowing your pet is safe, loved, and cared for exactly the way you would do it.

“Erica treated my cats like they were her own, and regularly stayed longer than the scheduled 30 minutes. She made sure they had food and water and played with them when they wanted it.”

“Sharon was great with our two cats and we will definitely be contacting her again in the future.”

About: Hi pet parents! My name is Jaz, and I’m a huge animal lover with 10+ years of experience caring for pets. I grew up with both cats and dogs, and family and friends have always relied on me to watch, walk, and care for their pets over the years. I currently have a cat of my own, but I’m definitely a big dog lover too. If it were up to me, I’d probably have five cats and five dogs but my husband says otherwise, so pet sitting is the perfect compromise. 😂 I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s needs and routines however I can, and I’ll always keep you updated with plenty of pictures and check-ins so you know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. If your dog is more comfortable in a cat free environment, I’m also happy to have my cat stay with nearby family during their visit. I’d love the chance to meet you and your furry family member! Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I homeschool, which allows me to be flexible with my time. I love going on walks and spending time outdoors together as a family, so your pet would fit right into the fun and daily adventures. Your pet would get lots of attention, companionship, playtime, and care throughout the day not just quick check-ins. Because of my flexible schedule I can give your pet attention and care throughout the day. I will make sure your pet has all of their needs met, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, exercise, and lots of love. We’re also happy to go the extra mile when needed, whether that means extra walks, keeping up with your pet’s usual routine, administering basic medications, or giving them extra comfort and attention if they’re feeling anxious while away from home. We do live in an apartment, but we make sure pets get plenty of outdoor time and exercise. There are lots of great walking areas nearby, as well as a dog park close to us where your dog can safely run around and burn off energy, and won't feel stuck inside all day.

About: I've had pets my whole life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. I'm experienced with everything from daily walks and feeding schedules to giving medications and providing extra attention when needed. I treat every pet like they're my own and understand how important it is for owners to feel comfortable while they're away. I've also helped friends and family with their pets over the years, and I know every animal has their own personality and comfort level. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while giving owners peace of mind. Since I work from home, I’m able to provide a flexible schedule and consistent supervision throughout the day. Pets are rarely left alone and get plenty of walks, attention, and time to relax throughout the day. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, potty breaks, and any special instructions. If your pet is currently working on potty training, crate training, or maintaining a specific routine, feel free to let me know so I can help keep things consistent while they’re in my care. I provide a safe, clean, calm, and smoke-free environment where pets get plenty of attention and care throughout the day. Since I work from home, pets are rarely left alone and are able to maintain a more consistent routine while they’re with me. I don’t have a fenced yard, but I make sure dogs get regular walks and exercise throughout the day. I also follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, potty breaks, and any special instructions. If you have any questions or specific care requests for your pet, feel free to reach out, I’m always happy to help.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels for most of my life, from helping friends and family to raising my own high-energy pup! I’m especially comfortable with active breeds and understand the importance of structure, routine, and mental stimulation—not just exercise. I take a thoughtful, attentive approach to every dog in my care, paying close attention to behavior, energy levels, and individual needs. Whether it’s reinforcing basic training, managing overstimulation, or just making sure your dog feels safe and comfortable, I aim to create a calm, consistent environment. My background in hospitality means I’m highly reliable, communicative, and detail-oriented. You can expect regular updates, photos, and the peace of mind that your dog is being genuinely cared for—not just watched. I work from home doing consulting, which gives me a lot of flexibility to offer plenty of attention, potty breaks, and care for dogs staying in my home, as well as availability throughout the day for walks and drop-in visits around the North Shore. My GSP Milo is my constant work-from-home sidekick and is always happy to keep your pup company and play as much as they’d like! If your dog enjoys having a buddy, he can also join for walks or drop-in visits at your hose—but if they have more of preference for solo time, he’s more than happy to sit that one out. Whether I’m hosting your dog, visiting your home, or taking them out for a walk, my goal is always the same: to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved—with a good dose of fun mixed in. I take a thoughtful, low-stress approach and pay close attention to each dog’s behavior, energy level, and boundaries. Introductions to new friends (furry or human!) are always done slowly and intentionally so everyone feels comfortable. I aim to keep a structured but relaxed environment that helps dogs settle in without becoming overwhelmed. I’m happy to follow any routines or preferences you have—whether that’s crate training, sleep setup, feeding guidelines, or walk style—and I always provide regular updates and photos so you know exactly how your dog is doing. Potty breaks are typically every 2 hours or so, and more frequently for puppies or senior dogs as needed. I’m also very active (running, hiking, getting outside whenever I can), so I’m always happy to give higher-energy dogs the exercise they need, while still making sure they have time to rest and reset. I’m comfortable administering medications or supplements as needed, and with a young pup at home, our space is already very dog-friendly—puppy-proofed, with gates available for separation if needed, plenty of toys, and multiple crate options to help every dog feel safe and settled.

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 :)

“Fior watched my cat for two weeks while I was gone on vacation. She did a fantastic job of making sure he was happy and taken care of along with keeping me updated with photos and videos. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and knowledgeable person to take care of your animal while you’re away!”

About: We are two dog lovers who work from home and are available to care for your pet when you are unable to. We always watch all of our friends’ dogs when they are away and have done this for many years. We enjoy this so much that we wanted to do it even more often.

We are early risers who work from home so one of us is always home to make sure your pet is well taken care of. We have a large home on a pond and are happy to accommodate any of your pet’s special needs so that they are happy and relaxed. We are two homebodies that both work from home so we are able to spend lots of quality time with your pet.

We try to stick to similar rules and routines that your pet is accustomed to at home in order to to try to simulate their home environment and make their stay as comfortable as possible.

About: I grew up with dogs and have done dog walking for people around the neighborhood. I will board and care for dogs for family or friends whenever they go on trip. I love dogs and always make sure to cater to their needs while keeping an open line of communication so their parents know how they are doing. I work full time as a nanny from 8 - 5 so I mostly do dog walks during the week and I have my weekends fully open. I have a large, two bedroom apartment and 2 cats and 1 dog who are all very friendly. I can board dogs who can be left alone for a couple of hours since either I or my husband are usually home. I start with observing the pets. Each animal has their own wants/needs and their own way of communicating it. It is important that I understand their cues to give them exactly what they need and gain their trust. I believe in an open line of communication and so, do my best to update the parents on how their furry friends are doing.

About: I have always had a soft spot for animals, decades of experience bonding with and caring for others as well as my own. Let me help keep your pets safe and entertained while you tend to life's demands. Available for drop-in's walks, potty breaks, and play time during the busiest hours of the week. Weekday (M-F) hours available 6 AM - 3 PM. Weekend hours available 8 AM - 10 PM. Inquire for overnight pricing and availability. Generally, my approach to animals is that they are just like us! They have emotions, moods, needs and require love, care and attention in addition to exercise, play, and routines. Safety is always my first priority in the care that I provide. I provide care that is present and centered around the animals for my time with them! This can include playing with them with their toys, hide and seek/snuffle mat treat exercises, assisting with basic training commands, helping socialize them appropriately for their age and comfort level with humans, as well as snuggle time for their lazy days!
