“Katie is very aware of Jerry’s safety and needs - I really appreciated her seeking out shade during today’s hot walk and making sure he cooled down and drank water before she left! Thanks as always Katie!”
About: I grew up with dogs, our family always had two golden retrievers, and once an adult, I knew I wanted one of my own. I got Bodhi, a rescue mix when he was 8 weeks old, he was my first baby before I had kids. I’m well versed in taking care of both dogs and children :) we love to be outside, take lots of walks or run around the beach. I work from home so I’m always around. Would love to give Bodhi a friend or two to hang with! I work from home, and go into the office about once a month or less so I have lots of flexibility for walks or bringing pups to the beach or park to get zoomies out. I have a sunny back deck and fully fenced in small yard. My dog loves to sun bathe out there. We’re a very pet friendly home! Also happy to uphold “rules” you have in your home to be consistent with your dog(s). I have two little girls so dogs we take must be ok with kids.
About: I’ve always had pets in my family, so I grew up around animals and learned to love and care for them from a young age. Four years ago, I adopted my own pug, and he quickly became part of my everyday life. I love playing with him, feeding him, going on walks, relaxing together, and even taking naps. Having my own pet has taught me even more about patience, responsibility, and giving animals lots of love and attention. I would treat your pet with the same care and affection I give my own. I work from 3:00 PM to 11:30 PM, so my mornings are usually open and flexible for drop-in visits, walks, feeding, and playtime. I also have some weekend availability depending on my work schedule, so feel free to reach out and we can find a time that works! I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy while I’m with them. I’ll follow their usual routine, keep their food and water fresh, give them plenty of attention, and of course make time for play and cuddles. I’m also very respectful of each pet’s space and personality, so I always try to make them feel relaxed and cared for.
“I think Matthew for the two quick walks this week. It was so helpful and you took care of Luna and I appreciate your feedback and I appreciate you walking her. I will definitely ask you again to walk her. Thank you so much.”
About: I love making friends with new animals! I have lived with, house sat, and taken care of cats and dogs. No worries if your animal isn't the friendliest with other animals or people, I have experience with that too and can handle it. I'm really looking forward to a wonderful opportunity to learn about all the different animal breeds out there and experience all your animals best qualities! I have a lot of free time right now as I am between life chapters. Pet care fits in perfectly with my active lifestyle and desire to take care and hang out with animals! I am used to working with scheduled meal times and administering medication if necessary. Long walks (or runs if you want!) with special attention to animal interactions, friendly or unfriendly. Any information you have for what your animal likes to do, I can do!
About: I first discovered my passion for animal care in fifth grade when I brought home and later adopted my class pet, Spot, an anole lizard who remained with our family for two years. Since then, I have continued developing hands-on experience caring for animals, including working with reactive dogs. During the pandemic, my family adopted our dog Henry, and through that experience I gained valuable insight into supporting dogs with anxiety and learning effective, patient approaches to behavioral management. I currently have full availability for the summer and am flexible in accommodating a wide range of pet care needs, including daytime, evening, and weekend care. I prioritize clear and consistent communication with pet owners to ensure I fully understand each pet’s individual needs and routine. My goal is to provide attentive, reliable care and make sure every pet is safe, comfortable, and receiving the highest quality care possible.
About: I have taken care of my friends aunt dog. She was an older dog who needed more time and assistance. My friend has three dogs which I have taken care before as well. All very energetic and loved their walks since they were younger dogs. I am currently a student in college my schedule is quite busy, weekends are my most open days anything after 1pm would work. Some Saturdays I would be participating games for my college sport. ****If you would like any weekdays please let me know in advance and what time(s) you are looking for because it may interfere with my class schedule, just ask :)*** Salem has a lot of trails and paths that I can take your dog on. I am an athlete, so walking long distances is perfectly fine with me!
About: I was a full time nanny for 6 years, caring for 3 children and 3 dogs (and a cat). Since my career change into the corporate world I’ve dog sat for friends and family. I have my own pup as well who loves other dogs. We live in a multi family on the first floor with our own large, private fully fenced yard. I work full time, but I am primarily remote which leaves me plenty of flexibility during the week. I’m also available most weekends and some holiday weekends. We have a fully fenced in yard and outdoor space that is only for our unit. We live in on the first floor of a multi family.
“Elizabeth was extremely professional and reliable. She instantly got along with Orfeu and the had a seamless set of walks together while I was out of town. I am so grateful we found her and would recommend her to anyone needing support with their pups!”
About: Growing up with dogs in our household fostered a deep love and appreciation for dogs and animals in general. Over the last few years I’ve gained valuable pet care experience. I enjoy connecting and providing special care to all creatures. I’m currently living in Beverly and working remote. I’m able to do walks, check-ins, and pet sitting mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I’m flexible and ready to provide exceptional care to your pets. Caring for pets in your home is no different than caring for children in your home. A high level of attention is non-negotiable so maintaining a solid walking, playing, and feeding schedule is of the upmost importance. Cuddles, belly rubs, and scratchies are also of the upmost importance.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Marblehead
Halla is a lifesaver! Was visiting Salem from out of town with our pup Penny and needed a sitter/walker for a quick hour when we went to a museum where pets aren’t allowed. Halla was available last minute, met us where we were, was attentive and responsive to my messages and even sent me pics of our fur baby in the short time she had her. She was flexible with timing knowing that we might need a few minutes more to finish the exhibit and also with the rainy weather - Halla opened her home to Penny so she wouldn’t get soaked. She also answered some of my general questions about traveling to Salem from Boston and offered great advice. And I know Penny trusted her straight away - she didn’t fuss when we handed her over to this awesome pet sitter. Thank you Halla! We’ll call you when we come back :(
I’m so happy we found Jeremy to care for our dog! He is attentive and very communicative. I also loved that he thinks ahead of time. For example knowing it would rain he asked us to leave a towel to dry Jackson knowing he would get wet. We’ll definitely ask for his services again!
This was our first time having our dog walked by someone. Isabella was gentle, kind, and made us feel very comfortable. Our girl Ylva felt comfortable right away and was SO happy when she came back from her walk. We are so grateful for a positive first experience and will definitely book with Isabella again.
Stacey was so thoughtful when it came to preparing for Benji’s multiple walks! We never leave him for an entire day, Stacey was so accommodating and booked two walks for him in one day. She was so good with him, sent tons of photos, and was veryyy patient (he’s a marker). I know Benji had a fabulous time and was in good hands. Thanks Stacey!
