Cat and Dog Savvy Pet Sitter

Hi, I’m Betsy in Andover and I’m a lifelong pet owner. I have experience caring for and owning 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 (in your home), and drop-ins. I will provide daily photo and video updates. I’m reliable and detail-oriented. Please message me to discuss your pet’s needs or schedule a meetup.

Betsy did an incredible job safeguarding, entertaining, and boarding my four-month-old Cavalier King Charles puppy for the month of February while I traveled abroad. She stepped right up and kept him with her an extra week when my return flight was delayed. I am so confident in Betsy's ability that I asked her to take care of Sammy again for a week in May. She is careful, takes initiative, is 100% reliable, and always is accommodating, pleasant, and respectful. She follows my instructions to a T and has made notable progress in house training and obedience skills. She is five stars in every way. She's a pleasure to interact with. she walked him ~6 times a day, brushed his coat and cleaned his teeth every day, bathed and dried him weekly (and more often when necessary,) and sent frequent photo/video updates. Importantly, she understood that Cavaliers cannot be left alone; they need human companionship. She spent a lot of time with him, taking walks, playing fetch and tug-of-war, and keeping him company. Betsy is an exceptional, extremely capable caregiver. She sent frequent photo/video updates. I feel completely comfortable and will absolutely use her services again.

We had Betsy watch our dog and cat for a weekend last summer, and she was great. Our dog can be a little afraid of strangers at first before warming up, but Betsy was patient with him, and she did an awesome job keeping an eye on our mischievous cat. She came by to walk and feed them, and actually spent some time hanging out with them instead of just rushing in and out. The photo updates she sent were fantastic, too. We’ll definitely be reaching out to her again next time we go away!

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
