House Sitting in Newbury Old Town

“Kadence is amazing! She stayed at my house with my 2 pups, one who is reactive and one who is old and sick, and took great care of them. She went above and beyond for my girls and I truly appreciate it!”

“Katie took great care of Scruffy who is a special needs dog. Her daily email messages and photos were comprehensive and showed her excellent care of my little guy, a blind yorkie, about 10 years old. My apartment was left neat and clean. I recommend her highly. Nancy G”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life including dogs, cats, birds, fish, and rodents. I have also watched dogs for friends and family. I stop to pet every dog I come across out in the world, with the owner’s permission of course. I’m always looking to make friends with animals. My dog passed away at 17 in November 2024, so I would love to fill some time with more animals until I’m ready to adopt again. I’m currently self-employed and working part time, so I have plenty of time to walk and play with your furbabies! My schedule is pretty flexible, especially for the rest of this year. Outside of your home I can take your pup to a local dog park, or take them for nice walks on some local trails, or even around your neighborhood.

“Olivia is dependable, considerate and trust worthy…an animal lover who stayed in our home caring for our two dogs (and several plants). She stayed over a weekend and upon our return, we couldn’t even tell anyone was there, including the dogs. If you are looking for a responsible, personable and professional home and pet sitter, it will be difficult to find anyone as responsible and caring as her.”

“Arianna was great! We loved her (especially the pups) she communicated daily, sent messages and pictures the house was clean and we were all so very happy!!”

“Lauren was absolutely fantastic! We have had 2 previous Rover bookings that were horrible (another Rover) so we had our own doubts, but Lauren was perfect! She was extremely communicative, punctual, and caring. She went as far as to cook one of our 3 dogs eggs because he had some stomach issues from anxiety when we left. Our dogs and house was all extremely well cared for while she house sat! We will gladly and wholeheartedly recommend Lauren to anyone and continue to use her!”

Matt C.

“Janine was an excellent house sitter / dog sitter for my dog, Hannah. She was in constant communication throughout the day and sent pictures which gave me peace of mind that my dog was well cared for. Upon return, my house was exactly as I left it (if not even cleaner!) I would gladly use Janine the next time I’m out of town!”

Erica S.

“Carolyn was so great to work with! She came over twice before her stay to meet us and make sure our dog felt comfortable with her. She took such good care of our pets and sent so many pictures and updates while we were away. We came home to two very happy pets! We would highly recommend Carolyn and will definitely be using her again 😁”

“Peach was so incredibly wonderful to have stay with our animals. Her warm energy, her commitment and communication allowed us to enjoy our time away knowing our animals were in great hands. Our animals instantly bonded with Peach and truly had such a great time with her! She played with Lou (our cat) and walked Yucca (our dog). We will absolutely be booking with Peach again!”

About: We would be honored to care for your animals. We are a family of 6 . We have 3 dogs and 1 daughter. I am semi retired, and both my husband and I have flexible schedules. We both cherish all animals. I think if we had money and time we’d own a farm. However, this is the next best thing. During the week I work part time and my husbands schedule is also flexible. We would love to fill our time caring for all animals . Your pets safety and trust is our main focus. We will make sure your pets are protected and feel safe in our care. We’re both over 45 years old and we have many years of love and experience to offer your kids.

“Sean was amazing! She sent pictures daily of the dogs and their activities. She followed the instructions left for her. It was so nice to have the peace of mind that my fur babies were being well taken care of while we were away. Will definitely use her again!”

“Dog loved spending time with her! Communication was good, and she took excellent care of my doggy friend, including applying some medication daily to his ears (and as a result is now cured). Thanks, Jess!”

“Heather did an amazing job with our dogs while we were on vacation. She was communicative, flexible, and very understanding. I could tell she enjoys being around the dogs and taking care of them. We will definitely be using her again!”

About: I've had dogs my entire life and have also taken care of friends & coworkers pets on several occasions. I've trained my own dog in an office environment. I work fully remote so it's very easy for me to plan my day around pets. I have walking trails all around my building and plan out several walks throughout the day. My dog plays very well with other dogs so it would be a good form of stimulation throughout the day. I also like taking the dogs out for multiple walks throughout the day to get fresh air.

“Teresa was a wonderful house & pet sitter! Took very good care of our two cats and house, as well as giving our new puppy the love/attention/training she needed. She kept us well-informed while we were away, sharing pics and details about how it was all going. Thanks!!!”

Joan C.

“Jennefer was amazing with our energetic 3 y/o dog. She got tons of exercise and play time and looked so happy in the photos and videos we received. We were able to be fully present on our trip because we weren’t at all worried about how things were going. Jennefer will now be “our dog person”! And we are so grateful.”

About: I have always had a love for animals since I was young. My family has had dogs since I was 10 and I have experience working and managing a dog daycare for about 5 years where we would watch and care for anywhere from 40-100 dogs daily. We would board, feed, play with, give daily medications to dogs etc. Always keeping a safe and clean environment. I also have lots of experience dog sitting at clients homes where i would watch, play with and feed animals. I am also pet CPR certified as well as have taken many courses to learn more about dog body language and health. I’m currently working part time as a bartender, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pup(s)! I have most days free, 4-5 hour long shifts Tuesday-Thursday and Saturday nights. My schedule is flexible! Depending on if you have a yard or take your pup on walks, I love spending time with the pups outside! Letting them sniff & run/walk. I love sending photos/videos to owners so you can see what your pup is up to, I also understand it can be nerve wracking being away from your fur baby so seeing photos can help bring comfort.

About: My first experience taking care of dogs came at the age of 14 when my family got a rescue black lab puppy. Around the same time, I also started taking care of my friends' pets when they were away. Ever since then, I've become a huge dog lover and have become quite familiar with their different needs and signals. Whether they are playful, couch potatoes, big babies, or outside-lovers, I'm there for them! I am doing this as a part-time gig for the summer, so I have plenty of flexibility! The only times that don't work for me are Thursday and Friday mornings. I can take care of your pet on weekends and (most) holidays. I know meeting new people can be overstimulating for some dogs, especially with the combination of owners being away. I focus on being gentle and making pets feel as comfortable as possible. I also recognize every dog is unique and has their own habits/needs, which I take into account as well.

About: With over 10 years of hands-on experience, I bring a lifelong love of dogs and a deep understanding of their care. I grew up caring for our family dogs from puppyhood through their senior years, and I’m comfortable with everything from daily walks, feeding, and playtime to grooming, baths, and administering basic medications. Over the years, I’ve also provided reliable care for friends’ and family members’ dogs, including overnight stays. Whether your pup needs lots of play or extra snuggles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well-loved while you’re away. I am currently available weekdays and weekends for walks, drop in visits and overnight stays. I am working part time and my schedule is flexible. I believe in keeping the lines of communication open! I will keep you posted daily on how your pup is doing and any details of their experience or behavior that I think you should know. I will ask questions if I need more information and I would ask you to let me know anything you are wondering about while you’re away.

About: I have a lifetime experience of pets. Cats, dogs, ferrets, fish, and frogs. I would walk them, feed them, play with them, bath and brush them, and clean up after them. I also volunteer at a farm every week or so and help feed, brush, and occasionally walk alpacas, donkeys, goats, and sheep. I would dog sit for neighbors growing up. I had two big huskies and a big german shepard for dogs growing up. In school, afternoons and weekends. as of now over summer i am available mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I am available when you need me! When outside, always on leash unless there’s a fenced in backyard. I make sure indoor cats stay IN. On walks I pick up poop always, I also will brush and bath the animals. I am very affectionate so they will get LOTS of attention, trust me. I am best in the clients home rather than bringing the animals to mine since i have very skittish cats and not that much room for more animals. I will feed on time and make sure they always have water.
