Dog Sitting in Merrimac

“Arianna was wonderful! She helped us in a last minute request for help. She sent us pictures of her visit and loving time with Charlie.”

About: I’m a licensed veterinarian in Brazil and I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life. My father is a huge dog lover, so I grew up helping care for our family pets from a very young age. In Brazil, I had four dogs who are now happily living with my parents. Here in the U.S., I have my sweet mini Goldendoodle, Madalena, who is very friendly and loves having company. Because of my background in Veterinary Medicine and my lifelong experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities, I feel very confident providing safe, responsible, and attentive care. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I work at a coffee shop from 6:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. After 3:30 p.m., I’m fully available for pet care, including walks, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting. On Sundays and Mondays, I’m off from work and available all day for boarding, daycare, and other services. Your dog’s safety and comfort always come first. I offer a calm, clean, and cozy home environment where pets can relax, play, and feel secure. My mini Goldendoodle, Madalena, is very friendly and gentle, which helps visiting dogs feel more comfortable and welcomed. Whether your pet stays in my home or I care for them in yours, I always follow their routine exactly as instructed—feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and rest. I’m very attentive to body language and behavior to make sure each dog feels safe, respected, and stress-free. I provide constant supervision when I’m home, lots of love and positive interaction, and a peaceful space where dogs can settle in comfortably. My goal is to make every pet feel like part of the family.

About: I grew up with a Mom who loved animals and was surrounded by pets of all kinds. I have loved and cared for them and enjoyed their unique personalities. When pets are in my care they tend to settle quickly, feel safe, and stay happy while their parents are away. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and learning their personalities. And if your pet loves to snuggle, they’ll get plenty of affection with me! I want both your experience and theirs to be stress free and fun. You can rest easy knowing your pets will be well cared for, content, and loved by me while you’re gone. I’m available between 8:00 am and 8:00 pm and have a part-time schedule, which gives me the flexibility to fit around your pet’s routine and needs. I’m happy to help during the week as well as on weekends, so your pets can enjoy consistent, loving care even when your schedule changes. I care for pets right in the comfort of their own home, following your instructions and keeping their routine as consistent as possible. Services I offer include feeding and refreshing food and water, administering medications as instructed, playtime, enrichment, and companionship, walks and outdoor breaks (for dogs), litter box care for cats, tidying up after visits so your home is left just as I found it. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, calm, and well cared for and for you to return to a happy pet and a tidy home.

“Michaela was super great to work with! She very considerately took time to do a meet and greet with my kitties so we could all feel comfy. The day of our booking she very kindly messaged me to confirm feeding instructions (I did a bad job— good learning experience for me!) and took lots of photos. I’ll definitely book with her again! 😊 Thanks, Michaela, you made this nervous first-timer feel so much more at ease!”

“Allison was very friendly and communication was great, making for a very seamless experience. We have 3 cats, one of which is diabetic and requires insulin injections. We were very comfortable with leaving our cats in Allison’s care and will definitely book again!”

“Watanya was amazing with our 9 week old puppy. She has a ton of experience with puppy training and was the best sitter we could have asked for. Highly recommend!”

“Janine was so great with my pups. My one dog can be iffy on new people and she was so comforting to him that he absolutely loved her. She handled them both so well and was very good at communicating throughout the entire visit. Will definitely book with her again!”

Nicole W.

“Great personal care taken with Klaus, Mike was very attentive to the instructions left for him! He took great care to ensure Klaus had everything he needed while I was away. He even brought him a tennis ball to play with! I will definitely be re-booking with Mike!”

“Bridget is so reliable and was absolutely awesome with my cat. I would highly recommend her.”

“Magnoly is literally the best! She was extremely kind, patient, and knowledgeable with our dog Apollo and we’ll absolutely be booking with her again! She communicates everything every step of the way and was sooo flexible when I booked the wrong dates for visits and when we asked her to drop in again on short notice! She couldn’t have been a better person for Apollo’s first night by himself and our first Rover experience, we absolutely love her!!”

About: New to pet care but willing to perform any duties required! I have a lot of pet sitting experience that I have gained with friends and family and would love to have more along with dog walking! I am on a leave of absence currently from my flight attendant career and am taking this time to do something I am very passionate for which is to care for animals! I currently do not have the right set up with my two cats at my home but am able to care for any pet in clients home!

About: Hello! My name is Alexyss, and I have never lived in a house without pets until college. I have genuinely missed the company of animals, and would love to spend my time with them. My family always had multiple dogs in the house, and I have helped birth and raise puppies and kittens more than once. I’m trying to primarily focus on dog walking, but am open to the occasional pet sitting. Because of my extensive experience, I’m pretty much the first person my friends and family call when they need someone to watch their furry family members. I can’t bring them to my house because I have an allergic roommate. All breeds and sizes are beautiful, and I’d love to meet your animals. Hope to hear from you! I have a regular 9-5 M-F job. So I am slightly limited during week days. However, I can still either stop by or stay at your home on those days. I am available on weekends. I also have half days on Friday (I get out at 12). I used to be a nanny, which is obviously different, but it means that I am very good at following the rules set by clients and catering to their needs.

About: I have been a vet tech for many years and am experienced in both large and small animal care. I am very familiar with medication administration, as well as recognizing signs of illness or unease. I love all animals large and small, and will treat your pet like my own! I work for myself and have an extremely flexible schedule that I can tailor to individual needs. I am a homebody and am around most weekends I have a fenced in yard, and an extremely friendly and loving dog in my own home. I am also very comfortable with overnight stays, in which my partner would watch my own dog.

“Our cats loved Allison and Max! We have one typically very shy cat who is always nervous around new people. To the point I was worried she might not even eat from someone different. But when they came over to feed them she was so comfortable and had no problem coming out and eating! Such a relief for us! They were super kind and sent updates after their visits too!”

About: Hello everyone, I’m new here! I’ve grown up and have taken care of pets my entire life, I have a dog of my own and have fostered many breeds and ages of dogs through Last Hope K9 as well since 2017 (more than 100 dogs saved). I treat all animals as if they are my children and give them as much love and attention as possible! I believe pets are a big part of your family. As a school counselor, my day job is to take care of families, and that’s what I’m looking to do here too! I have a lot of experience with all kinds of dogs and look forward to taking care of your furry friend! I’m a school counselor, so I’m available after work/at night time typically after 3pm for any of your pet needs. I’m available most weekends. I also have all school vacations, summers off and available for holiday sitting. Me and my husband have a fully fenced in yard in a safe, and quiet neighborhood on the Haverhill, MA/Plaistow, NH line. I have a very friendly and low/medium energy dog of my own who loves other pets and will definitely keep yours company! I always want to try to copy and paste what they are familiar with while you're away, so that they are as comfortable as possible. This looks different for every dog, and we are flexible to that. Safety is a huge priority at our house. Dogs are never left unattended in our fenced in back yard, me or my husband will always be outside watching them. We also never let the dogs off leash if we take them to the public park/walking trail across the street from our house.

“1st time booking with Stephanie and she was nothing short of amazing! One of my kitties is a diabetic and she took such great care of her, the communication was wonderful, she made sure to keep me updated throughout the weekend. 10/10 will book again with her! 💕”

About: Michael (or Briar as they prefer to be called) have had cats and dogs (of all shapes and sizes) for most of their life, raising many from kittens or puppies to well into their twilight years as a part of their family. This has allowed Briar have experience with all manner of friend, whether they be bundles of energy, trembling balls of anxious fluff, or friends that need way more belly rubs than a hand can give. Regardless your pet, they will always be showered with love and gentle touch when taken care of by Briar! I'm currently working part time, so I am definitely able to stop in, do a check up, give some attention, belly rubs, and love, and be on my way! All Briar wishes for our furry friend(s) is their safety and comfortability, especially when you're away! I want to keep an environment that is familiar and nonintrusive as possible, allowing your ease of mind to match theirs. Quick hello and some extra love will always be given

“Sharon was fantastic! She did drop in visits for our dog Izzie and we couldn't have been happier. Sharon kept us updated with photos and text messages each visit. Sharon is clearly an animal lover and treated Izzie like one of her own. We highly recommend Sharon and we can’t wait to use her again.”
