Pet care experience
Cat and Dog Savvy Pet Sitter
Hi, I’m Betsy in Andover, Massachusetts. I’m a lifelong pet owner with experience caring for dogs, cats, chickens, gerbils, hamsters, and fish. I live with my 4-year-old dog Ruby and 7-year-old cat Bobby. I’ve cared for pets from 12 weeks to 14.5 years old and am comfortable with all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, including high-energy dogs, shy rescues, and seniors. Services include dog walking, backyard play, brushing, bathing, teeth brushing, exercise, training reinforcement, medication administration, overnight boarding, and drop-ins. I tailor care to each pet’s needs to keep them comfortable and active. You’ll get daily photo and video updates. I’m reliable and detail-oriented. Message me to discuss your pet’s needs or schedule a meet-and-greet.

Ratings and reviews
Betsy did an amazing job caring for my 10-year-old tuxedo cat for two weeks in January while we were out of the country. She came by twice a day for feedings, litter scooping, and play sessions. Our cat is typically not the friendliest with strangers, but he quickly warmed up to Betsy’s patient care. She provided total peace of mind by sending us pictures of him being unusually cuddly.
Betsy is the best pet caregiver! She has taken care of our many pets over the past years, including cats, fish and chickens. (She is also excellent with dogs and kids.) She has stayed overnight at our house for weeklong trips and when I leave, I know my animals are in the best hands. She follows any directions we leave, sends updates and pictures, and is an excellent communicator. Betsy is one of the most trustworthy people I know, and I highly recommend her to take care of animals and as an exceptional human :)
did an amazing job house sitting for my 2-year-old Shepherd and 5-year-old tabby cat for two week-long stays. They walked my dog three times a day, played with him outside, and handled the cat's specific feeding routine perfectly. Communication was seamless with fast responses. They even went above and beyond by watering my plants and bringing in my mail/packages. Highly recommend

Schedule
I was recently let go from my full-time position. I am in between jobs/contract roles and I am looking to fill up my days and nights. I have a very flexible schedule and I am available with little advanced notice. I would love to take care of your animals as if they were my own.
