House Sitting in New Ipswich

“I was very nervous about leaving my dog with someone other than family. I found Rover while looking for a place to board her. I was able to find and interview potential sitters. Callie stood out to me as when she come over for the interview she had treats with her and my dog fell in love with her instantly! Although it was difficult for me to leave my dog I felt the love Callie had for dogs and it put my mind at ease. She took many pictures of my baby to show she was fine. She took her for a nice long walk which I know Coco loved. I couldn’t be happier!”

About: I have 11 years experience in the veterinary field. Learning about animal behaviors, preventative care and physical health is a passion of mine. I am a very well rounded animal enthusiast that loves to stay busy. Some of my extracurriculars include training my Australian shepherd, whether it’s dock diving, agility or overall obedience. I will hold each pet to standards that support good manners, so I some training may be associated with my services. I strive to exercise your fur babies intellectually as well as physically. I would be caring for your pet around my typical work schedule, which is M-F ~8-6pm, but I can always drop in mid day during lunch. Communicating your expectations so I may practice proper time management is important for a successful and stress free pet sitting job. I have a very well socialized 5yo male, 50lb, Australian shepherd, Oshie and he loves to play. Additionally I can provide walks, and play sessions. Hikes are also supported.

“Thank you Mikayla for taking care of our little guy! Tucker is a special little Yorkie with health concerns requiring constant monitoring. Mikayla stepped up and delivered reliable excellent care. Oral medication and special dietary needs were taken care of. She communicated with us and sent pics of our guy which was a relief. We could relax and have peace of mind. Bonus, she left the house clean and tidy! We already have our next trip booked! Thank you again!”

“Julisa was wonderful - she stayed in frequent contact, sent pictures and, when our rascal of a dog breached the fence and ran off, she immediately got on the phone with me and we tracked him down at a neighbor’s house. I know what a terrible feeling that is when watching someone else’s furry babies and Julisa handled it so well.”

“Amanda was awesome. My Nani girl who is leery of strangers took to right away upon meeting her the first time. She kept in contact and let me know how the pups were doing and sent pics too. All the dogs seemed very happy and calm when we got home.”

Kelli S.

“Colin was a Godsend; he saved us from having to place our dog in a kennel. His reports were comforting and reassured us that Lacy was in experienced hands. We would be happy to hire him again.”

“Tatyana was wonderful! So kind and sweet with Millie. We were in a new location which made my dog a little nervous, but she did a great job keeping her calm and sending updates and being on time. Highly recommend!”

Katie K.

“Amie was great! She helped us out in a pinch with a last minute need. She was great with our dog and sent lots of updates which helped put us at ease.”

“Nathan was wonderful - providing loving care for my two dogs. He was on time, offered support when my dog sprained her ankle, and attentive to their needs. Thank you Nathan!”

About: I have loved animals my entire life, and have owned dogs since I was 10 (after begging my parents for years). I helped raise and train them both from puppies, and am more than willing to help your pup learn the basics! I’m very good with shy or sensitive animals, so send your misunderstood babies my way! I am a nursing student at Fitchburg State, so I am typically available after 3pm on weekdays, with some early morning availability. I am flexible and happy to work with you to find times that fit both of our schedules. I have a car with me at school, so getting to and from your home won’t be an issue. I am happy to walk and feed, as well as change litter boxes/puppy pads as needed. My top priority is making sure your pets feel loved, safe, and well cared for while you’re gone.

“Jeffrey is trustworthy and supportive. My fur babies love him. He will be back to babysit at the end of the month. We can’t wait to have him again. Thank you so much for your love and kindness to Bella and Coco.”

“Ashley was AWESOME! We left town for a few days and felt so comfortable. The dogs were happy (and so was the baby bearded dragon). Sheet pictures and kept in contact. We have a dog that runs and were definitely worried, but Ashley had zero issues. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs my entire life, from childhood through adulthood. I’ve looked after my own dogs as well as my mom’s and other family members’ dogs, giving me experience with different breeds, energy levels, and routines. I’m active and enjoy walks—especially longer walks for dogs who need extra exercise or endurance. I’m detail-oriented, follow owner instructions closely, and understand how important consistency is. I also have experience administering medication and providing attentive, reliable care. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and routine always come first As a parent, I maintain a reliable and flexible schedule. I am consistently available during school hours every week. In addition, on alternating weeks, I have open availability Monday through Sunday, allowing for extended care, walks, and last-minute requests during those weeks. Your pet’s safety comes first. I’m detail-oriented with medications and care instructions and always follow owner guidelines closely. I choose safe environments for walks and play and care for every animal with patience, attentiveness, and the same level of responsibility I would give my own.

About: I’ve loved animals my whole life. I am a reliable person am interested in gaining more experience in this field. I can’t wait to meet your furry children!

“Bradleigh did a wonderful job house sitting with our cats and plants. She always responded to texts in a timely manner and followed our directions perfectly.”

“Amanda was AMAZING for our house sitting booking. She took such good care of our pitbull and cat. She really connects with animals and they absolutely love her. Our cat, who normally hates strangers and always hides, was curled up on her lap by the first night. We will definitely be booking her again!”
