About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 18, and I’ve grown up with dogs all of my life. I am also working as a vet technician! I work part-time right now, so I have plenty of time to take care of your little loved ones! I can’t wait to meet them! I care for your pets like they are my own living pets at my home. I’ll give them all the love that I am able to!

About: I have cared for pets for almost 6 years, ranging from pet sitting to caring for dogs while working at my local grooming facility. I also frequently volunteer at Cape Ann Animal Aid in their cat wing caring for the shelter cats. I have fed, cleaned, and walked dogs. I am also experienced in veterinary care including administering medications and being certified in FearFree, Pet first aid, Pet CPR, and more. I fully dedicate my time to your pets, and I am able to take them to dog parks, beaches, anything that’ll allow them to socialize and get proper exercise! When you are gone I would do anything and everything to make your pet feel as comfortable as they can, as well as keeping up with their current routine. I am experienced in dogs/cats that are very anxious, whether that means shy towards humans/dogs, afraid of loud noises, reactivity, etc. Due to my veterinary background and personal experience, I am fully capable of administering medications including daily or preventatives. (Oral, topical, etc) I am currently working part-time, but I am fully free on days that I am not working. I am available after 11am and before 8pm. I am available on weekdays and weekends, as well as some holidays. I am a college student, so I am only available over the summer, winter, and spring when I am home for breaks. I am currently unable to care for pets in my own home at this time due to the temperament of my pets, however I can care for pets in clients homes. I am familiar with using crates, basic obedience training, and petsitting dogs and cats including feeding, cleaning, playing, and walking the dog.

“Vanessa took great care of my cats during 100 degree weather while I was away from work. She ensured they drank enough water and adjusted ACs where needed. I always know they were safe with her.”

About: Hi there! My name is Sam and I am a dog lover looking for more dogs to love on. My husband Eric and I have a very sleepy Pyrenees who we are always looking to introduce to more friends! I love getting to hang with all types of dogs whether it’s walking, playing, or having them stay with us. I’ve cared for elderly dogs, puppies, and everything in between for the last 10 years. Can’t wait to meet you soon! Since covid, I am work from home most of the day and would love an extra furry friend or two to get me out of the house. Because I am work from home, I’m very flexible on walks, day cares, and much more! I love going to the dog parks around town and would be more than happy to take your baby there as well. We have a large fenced in yard to keep your fur baby busy. Not the athletic type? Great! We have a big couch and lots of comfy spots for them to laze around in.

About: I have been taking care of dogs for approximately 4 years; most recently having gained experience with energetic, adorable puppies having welcomed Prince into our home. He has brought so much joy to me and my three boys! I currently work from home and am awake by 6 AM with my puppy. I have an office set up with toys, beds and crates. We take frequent potty, play breaks and walks. I have a fenced in back yard where the dogs can play if desired. I have a fenced in yard and downstairs area of my home that have been dog proofed. I have crates for smaller and larger sized dogs and have crate trained my own fur baby who loves to have company.

“As always Matthew was great with my cats while I was away! I really appreciate his consistency and it's a huge relief to know I can depend on him!”

“Henry is so amazing! My dog is fearful and tends to growl and look scary and he was confident, calm, and able to help get my dog to go outside. I appreciate him jumping in in short notice to take care of my two dogs. He did a great job. I plan to use him anytime in the future that I need a dog sitter.”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since i was little! two dogs, two cats, a lizard and a frog! I’ve worked at a doggie daycare and boarding facility and also volunteered at my local animal shelter for years. I am currently a college student but other than that this will be my “job”. I’m looking for doggies and cats + their owners i’m able to build a strong relationship with! I will be extremely careful with your animals and treat them as my own. They will be cared for and loved like my own. Any specific needs they have will be met

“Jacquelyn was so great! Our cat was well taken care of and in good spirits when we returned home from a 6 day vacation. We had Jacquelyn come in for an hour each day. Everyday she wrote an amazing update and sent photos. Thank you so much for the care!”

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.

About: I have 2 happy pups and 2 beautiful cats at home. I have experience with doggy daycare, loose leash walking, teaching and reinforcing basic cues, potty training, and pet sitting. I am a student at Salem State University. During the summer I have an internship in my field of study that is only 10 hours a week. I have plenty of free time and enjoy spending it caring for my pets! I have one friendly dog and two friendly cats at home with a large yard. I take outside time seriously by taking my dog for walks in our neighborhood and spending time with her playing in our yard or at the park.

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.

“Andrea was awesome with Hank!! Even took time to take a picture of our cat! Would recommend her anytime!”
