Dog Sitting Newbury

About: I've been around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for both small and large breeds. In addition to caring for my own dog, I've also dog-sat for family, friends, and neighbors.I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I'm committed to giving pets the attention they deserve. As a full-time teacher during the school year, I have a structured and reliable schedule. Currently, I am completing home training modules, which gives me flexibility during the day for pet care visits. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship, and I will always communicate clearly about my availability and arrival times. I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes, where pets can remain comportable in their familiar environment and routine. I take time to learn each pet’s needs, feeding schedule, exercise requirements, medications, and any special instructions. I prioritize safety, follow all household guidelines, keep owners updated with messages and photos, and treat every home and pet with the same respect and care I would expect for my own.

About: I worked at the Ipswich Animal Shelter for 6 years and have extensive experience caring for animals of all ages. I’ve always owned cats, from kittens to seniors, and am very comfortable caring for cats of all ages and temperaments! I’ve also lived with dogs throughout my life and have cared for friends’ and relatives’ pets while they were away. My experience includes walking, feeding, bathing, and administering medications for both dogs and cats when needed. I’m a huge animal lover and treat every pet like they’re my own. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently have open availability Monday through Friday, which gives me the flexibility to prioritize pet care throughout the week, including walks, visits, and in-home sitting. I’m also able to accommodate weekends when needed with advanced notice. I always care for pets as if they were my own and consistently follow their established routines as closely as possible! In a client’s home, I make sure feeding, walks, litter boxes, playtime, and any medications are handled on schedule, while also keeping their environment clean, calm, and comfortable. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs, whether that means giving dogs plenty of exercise and enrichment or providing cats with patience, quiet time, and space to adjust at their own pace. I also prioritize communication with pet parents and provide updates so they feel confident their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while they’re away.

“Henry is so amazing! My dog is fearful and tends to growl and look scary and he was confident, calm, and able to help get my dog to go outside. I appreciate him jumping in in short notice to take care of my two dogs. He did a great job. I plan to use him anytime in the future that I need a dog sitter.”

“Thanks for being there on short notice, we appreciate it!”

“Samantha is a great pet sitter. The only opinion that really matters is the pet's, and he took to her immediately on the first visit. He's usually skittish and hides at first if he doesn't know someone, but there he was on the first visit, coming right up to say hello. From the human standpoint, Samantha is a kind person and professional. She shows up and spends time with your pet. Highly recommended!”

“Our daughter stayed with Buster while we were away for the weekend. Felicia came to our house to administer insulin shots and eye drops for Buster. She received a great review from our daughter, saying that she was right on time, and was very sweet with him! It's a good feeling to know that he was well taken care of while we were away. Thank you, Felicia!”

I would also brush out feed and give the dogs water and any meds they may need for the day. Lastly I grew up with dogs my entire life so I know how to care for them very well I an currently babysitting and looking to walk dogs in my free days as a summer job. I am available most days and am happy to do any length of walk or visit needed I have a fenced in large yard and 2 very friendly dogs so if I ever needed to bring your dog to my house it would be completely safe

About: I’ve been a loving and devoted dog owner since I was ten. I’ve raised both small and large breed dogs from puppyhood. In addition, I’ve been a foster mom to many dogs of various ages and breeds through Great Dog Rescue. I enjoy getting outdoors, rain or shine, walking and playing with these wonderful animals. My dogs get are doted on with lots of cuddles and attention. I currently have a very friendly Bernese Mountain dog who gets along well with other dogs. I am available full-time to care for your fur baby. I could offer daily exercise and plenty of individual attention to your pup at my home or yours. I have a house with a big yard on a quiet cul-de-sac. Either in your home or mine, I would take your dog out on a leash to make sure it stays safe. Having hosted many rescue dogs, I know how to care for nervous animals and they have thrived under my care.

“Paige was 110% reliable, and my whole family delighted in the pics of our cat that she thoughtfully sent after each day’s check-in! I definitely recommend Paige!”

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’ve taken care of dogs since the age of 6. I have personally owned labs and a cockapoo. I cannot have pets in my current apartment so I am excited to spend time with your dog! I work full time Monday through Friday so I’m available for drop-ins or walks after 4:30pm. I am available all hours of the day on weekends! I am comfortable walking, feeding, playing indoors or out, bathroom breaks and crating all breeds and all size dogs. I am also comfortable with handicapped/special needs dogs.

About: I have experience caring for a wide range of pets, especially larger dogs and lots of cats. I’m comfortable with high-energy breeds and understand the needs of both playful and more independent animals. Whether it’s keeping up with a big dog’s exercise needs or making sure a cat feels safe and comfortable, I always focus on giving each pet the attention and care they deserve. I’ll bet best to do in morning as I’m still in college and I work at sunset club on plumb island as a line cook. I always make sure pets feel safe, whether I’m in their home or they’re in mine. I follow routines closely, give them space to feel comfortable, and keep everything clean and secure. I respect the pet’s personality and the owner’s preferences, and I treat every home with care and professionalism.

About: I have experience caring for all animals from their younger years to very senior. I’m comfortable handling an emergency situation if needed. Your pet will always be in safe, loving hands with me. The only day I can’t work is on tuesdays as I go into the office that day. Every other day is fair game! I’m available days or nights as needed. I spent two summers working as a vet tech assistant and learning how to handle emergency situations. Your pet would be in safe loving hands with me.

“Shawna is a genuinely caring person who really took the time to understand what my cat (and I) wanted from her. Communication was excellent. I would not hesitate to book with her again.”

About: Experienced dog-owner, trainer of former AKC and Westminister champion, I have a unique background in caring for pets. Plus, my 13-year-old son and I are quite active. Places your pet will enjoy off or on leash may include: Crane's Beach, Wingarsheek Beach, Good Harbor Beach, Appleton Farms, Willowdale State Park, Plum Island, Maudsley State Park. Depending upon your dog's preference's and obedience/recall level, I can customize the time we spend together while you are out doing what you need to do. Mountain biking, hiking, swimming, a visit to Essex Coop for a treat, or, if time allows and you need someone to bring your dog to obility or agility classes, I can handle this with aplomb. And, there is plenty of cuddle time, down time we can work into the schedule too. Looking forward to working with you and your fur baby! I currently am self-employed so my schedule has great flexibility.

About: Hi, I’m Sally! I work from home on the Massachusetts coast, so my schedule is flexible and there’s always time for a midday walk or a little extra attention. I’ve completed many Rover visits and have cared for dogs at every stage, from brand new puppies to sweet seniors, and I’m happy to adapt to whatever routine keeps your pup comfortable. As a Frenchie mom myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s hands, and I treat every dog like my own. I’m also very active, so expect a happily tired pup. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so pet care fits naturally into my day. I’m available for midday walks and drop in visits most weekdays, and for house sitting I can often work right from your home, which means your dog gets company for most of the day instead of just mornings and evenings. Since I care for dogs in your home, I follow your rules and routines exactly, from feeding instructions to house boundaries. On walks, dogs stay securely leashed and harnessed, and I’m always careful around doors and gates. I pay close attention to body language and comfort, I ask plenty of questions up front, and I treat your home with the same care I’d want for mine.

“Jamie was terrific for Drop-In visits for our golden retriever! Responsive, timely, reliable, great communicator and updates. Best part was how comfortable our pup was with her and happy she was when we got home. Clearly well cared for and loved while we were away. Highly Recommmend!”

About: Hello everyone! My name is Hope Kenny, I am 22 years old and just graduated from UMass Amherst. I have plenty of experience pet sitting. All the way from puppies to chinchillas, I’ve done them all! I treat all the pets I sit for like my own and giving all the loving care and attention they deserve. If you have any questions I’d love to talk more. I can’t wait to hear from you! I like to treat each pet I’m sitting like my own, and will incorporate them into my schedule as best I can. The only obligation I have is work from about 10:30-3:30. Other than that I am fully available to give your pets the love and attention that they deserve! I think it’s very important to make your pets as comfortable as possible. They are allowed on my couch, on my bed, and whatever room I am in. I will take them out as much as I can so they aren’t cooped up inside the house. I like to walk so walks are definitely in store if that’s something the pup is interested in.

About: All my life I have had a dog or dogs in my home! The companionship they offer is unparalleled :) I currently have a 6 year old rescue who I love to walk and play with everyday! Happy to arrange play dates with him if your pup is looking for a friend or I will spend quality alone time with your furbaby if that’s what he/she needs! I am very flexible with my schedule and happy to cater to you and your pets needs! I will send you updates and pictures of your pal so you feel connected while you’re apart. Dogs are the best and we should provide them with the best care! I cant wait to meet you and your pup! Stay well I work from home most days so I have a very flexible schedule! I am happy to do multiple drop ins a day depending on location. If there is access to a fenced in yard I am happy to bring my dog along for some play time. I am happy to walk dogs on leash or drive to any local trails that allow off leash walks - whatever you are most comfortable with!
