Dog Sitting in Marblehead

“There is no sitter as competent, caring, reliable, communicative, and trustworthy as Ely. We have compared three different dog sitters and boarding at the vets office. And none of them stacks up to Ely’s service.”

About: I’ve had cats and dogs since very young age. I’ve always taken a special interest in caring for them. I’ve been dog and cat sitting for my neighbors and friends since I can remember. I’m currently doing an internship 2-3 times a week. I am very available the other days and even before or after I go into my internship. I care for my two cats and my dog. Cats are lower maintenance but I walk my dog every day. Our backyard is not fenced in but I’m happy to go yo yours or even just do walks!

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: ’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and energy levels, so I understand how important patience, consistency, and exercise are. I’m comfortable with long walks, feeding routines, playtime, administering basic care. I also have experience working in fast-paced environments, coaching, and substitute teaching, which has helped me become very responsible, attentive, and calm under pressure. I truly love animals! I enjoy going on walks, getting outside, and staying active, so dog walking and pet care are something I genuinely enjoy doing in my free time. I keep my schedule organized and make sure I have dedicated time to give pets the attention, exercise, and care they need. For drop-ins and walks, I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their normal environment and routine. During visits, I can provide walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of attention while also making sure the home stays clean and secure. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior, energy level, and comfort, and I always prioritize safety on walks by staying alert and using secure leashing practices. I understand how important trust is when caring for someone’s pet, and I treat every animal like my own.

About: Hi there! I'm an enthusiastic dog lover with a deep passion for caring for our furry friends. With years of experience in dog walking and pet care, I understand that each dog has its own personality and needs. I prioritize their happiness, health, and safety during our walks, making sure they get the exercise and socialization they crave. Whether it's a playful pup or a mellow companion, I'm dedicated to providing a fun and nurturing experience for every dog I meet. Let's explore the great outdoors together! 🐾 Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine, seamlessly fitting in with my schedule. I work part time locally, which gives me the flexibility to dedicate ample time to caring for pets. My days often begin with morning walks, where I ensure that every dog gets the exercise and attention they deserve. Throughout the day, I prioritize playtime, training, and nurturing activities, allowing me to build strong bonds with the animals I care for. This setup not only allows me to fulfill my passion for animal care, but it also ensures that your pets receive personalized attention and love whenever they are in my care! Pets come first period. My home is the dog’s home. I don’t believe in treating animals less than. I also live next to multiple parks to give them all the walks they need.

About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life and have always had cats, including experience with a disabled cat who needed extra patience and care. I’m comfortable with feeding, administering medication, and creating a calm, safe environment for pets. I have also provided dog walking, feeding, and playtime for dogs of all sizes for family and friends. Pet parents can trust that I will treat their pets as if they were my own—keeping them safe, happy, and well cared for at all times. I work full-time in a hybrid role, which means I’m home most weekdays and can keep a close eye on your pets throughout the day. I’m available for boarding on weekends and for walks, drop-ins, and other services on weekdays after work hours. My flexible schedule allows me to provide plenty of attention, exercise, and care so your pets are never left alone for long. I live in a spacious, pet-friendly apartment with my friendly cat, so visiting pets will feel right at home. I always introduce dogs to my cat slowly and safely to make sure everyone is comfortable. I keep my home clean and secure, and I follow your pet’s routine closely to keep them happy and stress-free. With several parks and a beach nearby, I can give dogs plenty of fresh air and exercise. You can trust that I’ll treat your pets like family and keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away.

“Julia was great! She sent the best pics of my kitty while I was away and he seemed to really enjoy her company during the drop-ins. No issues what so ever and will definitely be using her again!”

About: I have owned dogs my whole life and have experience dog sitting/walking a wide variety of dogs from maltese to pitbull! I also love and have great experience with cat sitting as a life long cat owner! I have taken care of and trained my animals through all stages of their lives from puppy/kitten to late adulthood. As an active college student I am completely capable of and am no stranger to the long walks an active or young dog may need and am very capable of handling a strong pup. Through gentle introductions and perhaps the occasional use of a treat (if allowed) I enjoy making connections with animals and ensuring their well being is held to the highest standard. I am currently out of school for the summer and will have great flexibility to take care of your pups! My days are spent either working out or at short part time shifts so I will have plenty of time to give your pet all the attention they need! When visiting your home I can easily crate your dog if needed and will always ensure all external doors and fences are secured! As well as always keeping an eye out for objects or scenarios that may be unsafe.

“Vanessa watched our two super shy cats over the holidays. One of our cats requires a daily medication mixed in with food and, as cats do, refuses it unless conditions are perfect to her evolving specifications 😂. Vanessa troubleshooted with us to meet her demands 👑. She was very patient with our other anxious nugget also, who even accepted her head scratches. They both seemed really healthy when we returned. Vanessa was also reliable with her visit times and communication.”

“Jamie has watched our pets regularly for the last couple of years and she always does an amazing job!! She was fantastic caring for all our pets (dogs, cat and Guinea pig), and even went the extra mile to make sure they got extra love when one of our dogs had recently passed away. We’re moving out of the area but we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jamie!! She really is the BEST! Jamie we will miss you!!”

About: Hello My name is Yolianis. I currently specialize in cat care and enjoy providing them with attention, companionship, and a peaceful environment. I do not have any dogs or cats at home, only birds in cages located in a safe area, completely separate from the pets I care for. I have experience caring for cats of different ages and sizes. This includes feeding, walking, playtime, basic cleaning, and following specific care instructions from owners. I am responsible, patient, and attentive to each pet’s needs. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine. I am available in the afternoons, evenings, and on weekends, and I can be flexible depending on the schedule. I enjoy spending time with animals and making time for their care. When caring for pets, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I spend time with the pets to keep them calm and happy.

“Ashley was wonderful with our pets. She was communicative and was able to follow our pet’s care instructions. I highly recommend her for any pet’s care.”

About: I provide dependable, personalized care that helps pets feel safe and comfortable in their own routine. I’m experienced with dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and temperaments, including energetic puppies, senior pets, and shy or anxious animals. I focus on patience, attention, and clear communication so pet owners always feel informed and at ease. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, medication support, feeding schedules, or extra comfort for older pets, I treat every pet like family and make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to provide consistent attention, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I keep a flexible schedule so I can accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits when needed. I make sure each pet gets reliable care, regular exercise, and plenty of affection while maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I care for pets in my home by abiding by the owner's feeding and snack schedule. I have fenced-in yard for playing. I walk the dogs in my neighborhood or go to a local park. I keep them on a leash, I NEVER let them roam free in a public area.

About: I am attentive, patient, kind, and empathetic toward all animals. I’ve spent my whole life around pets, grew up with four huskies, and have always wanted more pets in my life. I currently have two cats, a senior named Gatsby and a kitten named Pippin. I look forward to meeting and caring for your pets! I work from home full time and set my own schedule, so I can be flexible with timing of walks and drop in home visits. I have a car and easy access to all forms of transportation. I can visit your home and stick to your and your pets’ routines, or pop by in the middle of the day for walks and trips to the dog park.

“Lauren took such great care of our cats while we were on vacation! She played with them each day, sent us lots of pictures, and very funny updates! We would have her back any time to watch them again”

Lauren K.

“Sophia was super responsive and came through for us with a last-minute booking. We received nice updates every day and could tell that our cat was loving the attention. Sophia even brought in our mail.”

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.

About: I grew up with cats, dogs and rabbits my entire life. I currently dog and cat sit for family, friends and neighbors! I have years of experience and plenty of references. I work in Danvers, MA from 8:30am to 7pm Sundays through Wednesdays. I am available for drop ins before and after work and also overnights if your animal is able to stay alone for longer periods of time. I am comfortable with feeding, walking, giving medicine and crate training. I am also open to whatever needs the owner requests to best suit the animal.

“Sarah did an excellent job of taking care of our cat. Very reliable and great communication!”

About: I care deeply for animals in both my personal and professional life! From childhood through today, I have cared for my sweet dog and guinea pig companions at home. I am currently pursuing a career involving animal care & conservation education, so I understand the importance of connection with animals on a multitude of levels. I hope to apply my skills while gaining some experience with domestic species that are less common at work. I have occasionally done drop-in visits for friends & family in the past, so I am excited to get started with Rover now! My work ethic is meticulous and I enjoy collaborating with others. I will pursue a shared understanding of the needs for you and your pets to determine if we are a good match. I am most eager to develop a relationship with your companion that becomes more and more comfortable each visit! Applicable species experience: dog breeds ~ brittany spaniel, shih tzu, labrador retriever, terrier mixes small mammals ~ guinea pig, rabbit, ferret, chinchilla birds ~ ringneck dove reptiles ~ common box turtle, bearded dragon, blue-tongued skink, corn snake, ball python, milksnake, sand boa **I'm not afraid of frozen rodents and mealworms, but will minimize handling of live crickets and other jumping insects :) If you have an animal that I haven't listed, please feel free to reach out! I am open to working with other species if our needs are compatible. I have pretty open availability at the moment as I work on the next step in my career. Feel free to message me with any questions or requests! We can choose timing based on both of our needs. To keep your pet comfortable at home, I will do my best to maintain some form of routine in each visit. I also enjoy coming up with creative enrichment for the animals I care for. We can discuss ways to promote mental stimulation and/or physical movement in the absence of owners, if interested!
