Thanks again for taking care of Cookie! She loved the chairs that Terry placed by the windows so that she could see outside :) My kids were thrilled to see the “daily Cookie” pics that Terry sent as well.

Collette is the best. She responds quickly to requests and is always willing to help. She has taken such great care of our french bulldog and we would never hesitate to hire her again! She leaves great notes and pictures, especially when she thinks our pup is having an “off” day. You can tell she really enjoys working with pets.

About: I have 5 years of professional dog experience varying from being doggy daycare assistant manager, a kennel attendant, and training apprentice. I have a lot of experience with working breeds and puppies. I have experience administering medications, dealing with reactivity and anxious dogs. I am also well versed in canine/feline nutrition! I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to care for your pup! I’m typically free all day Monday and Wednesday and most days after 2pm! I love taking dogs on trail walks and playing games like fetch with them or enrichment activities, I could also do a playdate with my dog if wanted!

Took good care of the cats during drop in visits. I wasn't worried at all while I was away, because Janine sent pictures each visit. Things were well cleaned. Definitely recommend!

Karen was so wonderful with our beloved kitties! I can tell from the photos that they really loved her. It is such a good feeling when you’re so far away to know that your pets are being cared for by a kind, responsible, and engaged animal lover. We feel very fortunate to have met Karen and look forward to a continued relationship with her! ?

About: I have been dog sitting since I was in middle school. Friends, family, friends of friend, and neighbors have trusted me with their furry family members. As someone who has a little pup myself, I know the care and consideration each individual animal needs and deserves. I've worked with a variety of breads, behaviors, and ages and feel equipped to ensure a safe walk, play time, or check in for your dog. Personally, I've adopted a puppy Cairn Terrier, Ruckus. I've loved training with him, creating a bond, and learning more about dog behavior. It's been a really fun journey. He's a sassy little guy. I have been off Rover for the past few years, moving around and attending Grad School. I am excited to be back to help the Essex community care for their pets. I currently work from home, full time. I have flexibility in my schedule to do walks and drop in visits for your dog. Where I can provide full and undivided attention. When I have a dog I'm looking after, I will ensure safety and fun - however that looks for your doggie. Going for a walk, playing catch in the yard, or even just laying on the couch getting some pets. Your pet will be my priority for the duration of my visit.

Laura was great. She cleaned some unfortunate litter box issues. Bless her. More importantly than that, though. I returned home to cats that were not stressed. This is a first for them and I’m so grateful.

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.

Samantha did a great job caring for our cat for a long weekend away. She was very communicative and brought in our paper, trash & recycle bins (and removed a dead mouse surprise that kitty left 😲). We would definitely use her again.

About: Hi! I’m a college student and lifelong dog lover with experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’ve worked with both puppies and senior dogs and am happy to care for dogs of any age. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, patience, and genuine love for animals. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddles, I treat every dog like family! Since it’s summer, I have a super flexible schedule and lots of free time to focus on pet care! I’m available throughout the day for walks, playtime, feeding, and any other needs your pup may have. I love spending time outdoors and being active, so caring for dogs fits perfectly into my routine. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for all summer long! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and at ease. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions.

About: I had a small dog growing up from the ages of 12-22. I miss having a companion for my walks so this seems like a win for all! I have dog sat for several friends and family members over the years and am comfortable with all of the things that come with it. I’m self employed with a very flexible schedule so your pups won’t be left alone for more than a couple of hours, if at all! Lots of snuggles guaranteed! (Or awkward stares from the other side of the couch exchanged if your pup is more that speed) I’ve stayed in houses with cats as well so I can do the basics with them but would definitely consider myself more experienced with dogs! Self employed working tuesday-thursday in the summer so I have lots of flexibility especially when planning ahead! Im an early riser so morning visits are no problem for me! Weekends will be a little harder but depending one need I can probably make it work! I will respect all the rules you have and not take any liberties (i.e. if they cant have a small bite of sandwich, I wont secretly give them a bite) My dog was crate trained so I’m very comfortable with that. I will prioritize your dog’s safety and comfort and am pretty good at taking signals from them. The two dogs I typically dogsit for are both large dogs that are scaredy cats and can only walk certain routes (they aren’t brothers, just an incredible coincidence lol.) I’m very comfortable advocating for your pups if they need space/can’t be around people and will remove them from stressful situations. I’ll give them plenty of attention and love if that’s what they want, but if they just want someone nearby I’ll give them their space. Pretty much every dog in my life has been a diva so I understand the fine lines they have sometimes!

About: I have a lot of patience for animals and I love entertaining them, whether that’s playing with them or going on a long walk. For the younger ones, or ones that just have more energy, I would love to run them and keep them in shape. I am super flexible this summer, aside from a few weeks of travel, so whatever works for you works for me. My main priority is going to the gym, but other than that I’m all yours! Whether it’s feeding, walking, brushing, playing, or simply snuggling, I’m always giving my full attention and affection. Also, I think mental stimulation is often overlooked in animal care so I try to incorporate fun games and activities.
