Cat Sitting in Newburyport

“Michael provided excellent care for our two cats. He was consistent with twice daily drop-ins while we were away on a week- long trip. He gave updates with adorable pics of our babies after each visit and even spent some time playing with them! It gave us peace of mind, knowing our kitties were in good hands while we were away! We highly recommend him!”

“Terry left thorough, even funny, updates about our cat while we were gone for a long trip. I felt confident that our pet and our home were safe in her care. My daughter will be laughing about the mystery of the missing cat treats for a long, long time! Many thanks, Terry!”

About: I am a full time production coordinator ant a promotional branding company, and like to spend my evenings with my dog, or anyone else’s! I have a 7 year old Doberman who is very friendly and playful and has lots of energy, and I love doing things with him every day. This made me want to work with other dogs as well in my spare time. I have watched my own dogs for years and dogs for my friends, as well as trained my own dogs. I love to exercise and be active and it’s more fun to bring the dog! I will always have something fun planned for dog walks/house sits and make sure your dog has lots of fun and has everything they need! They will be very well taken care of. I also have a 1 year old kitten, and can work with cats as well! I currently work full time, 7am-3:30pm, so I am available weekdays after work, and just about all day on weekends! I am flexible and can work timings out as best I can in the mornings before 7 if needed as well. I care for pets just as the owner would want! I care for my own dog like he is my child, and accommodate to others dogs as they are used to in their own routines etc. I have lots of experience with dog walking and dog sitting, and enjoy it!

“I would give Laura 10 stars if I could. She made our vacation stress free. Even when I needed to add an impromptu second visit mid week, it was no problem. We have two English Setters and one is a little anxious with people she doesn’t know and they both loved Laura. We also loved the daily pictures and updates she sent. I would absolutely recommend her and will definitely be contacting her again. Thank you so much Laura!”

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: I've cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds since I was a kid, and been a dog mom myself for 12 years. I've done it all - from feeding, walks and playtime, to bathing and cleaning up accidental messes. I currently petsit for friends and family and love every second of it! I treat every animal I care for as if they were my own fur babies. I work from home and make my own schedule so I have lots of time and flexibility to stop in and take care of your furry friend! I'm comfortable walking multiple dogs on leashes and I'm extra patient with dogs who need a little extra support or guidance while on lead. I'm highly aware of my surroundings and keep playtime in safe, enclosed spaces your dog is comfortable in. And as I've cared for my dogs, as well as others' dogs, for about 20 years, I'm really good at reading dog body language and telling when they're tired, needing some rest or water, or still need a few more minutes of sniffing the neighbor's bushes :)

“Sara is great with our two kitties! Is sure to always play with them and take care of anything extra that needs to be done. Has helped us out with packages and even offered to water our garden in the past. Definitely recommend!”

Devon & Caitlyn M.

“Reliable, personable and took great care of my little one, highly recommend Sarah to other pet parents!”

About: I have been a pet lover my entire life. Growing up, we always had dogs, cats, aquariums and canaries. I have had the pleasure of having several generations of yorkies in my life. My last little Rosie lived for 17 years and enjoyed a loving and pampered life. I love all animals and would care for your pet as if it were my own. I live in a small antique house located a couple of blocks from the Merrimack River. There is a beautiful walking path close to my home that welcomes dog walkers. I have a small brick paved yard that is fenced and secure.Your pet will be pampered and spoiled in my care. We love to go to the beach and have close access to a great dog friendly beach as well as the dog park down the street. In addition to being a pet sitter, I am a realtor, cooking coach and recipe tester. I spend a lot of time in my kitchen which is adjacent to my enclosed yard. Most pets like to be close to me so I always seem to have company when I am cooking. Your pet will feel safe and loved in my home. I know from personal experience how important it is to know your pet will receive the special care and love that they are accustomed to at home. Please note that there may be extra charge for holidays and time after 24 hour period. Custom quotes available. I do work as a realtor but mostly from home. When I do leave your pets will be safe with run of the kitchen and dining room. Otherwise they will be by my side. I am home most of the time and never more than 2 hours a day away. I have a secure fenced in yard and of course will provide several walks a day. I prefer a small dogs that are hopefully trained to do their business outside but having had Yorkies for years I know there are occasional accidents. I will provide them with loving care and lots of hugs and kisses always.

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 grown up with pets my entire life and in my teen years began to watch friends and neighbor's animals. I have experience with elderly animals and with training younger ones as well! I am currently a college student working a summer internship, however I have availability past 6:00 Monday through Thursday and full availability Friday through Sunday. With both my own pets and pets that I watch I first make sure they consistently have clean water and the appropriate food. Around every two hours for dogs I will bring them outside and let them play. I also try to interact/ play with the animal as often as possible, but respect their boundaries if they are a little more timid.

About: With several years of feline friendship under my belt, I bring care and enthusiasm to cat sitting. Whether it's quality cuddle sessions, meticulous litter box maintenance, or tasty meal prep, I ensure your furry family members feel loved when you're away!🐱 I work from home (except Tuesdays) full-time and can check in on your cat at lunchtime on weekdays or in the evenings and on weekends. To care for pets in a client's home, I follow a routine that includes feeding according to the pet’s dietary needs, ensuring they have fresh water, and providing regular interaction. I also maintain cleanliness and safety in their living areas, administer any required medications, and follow specific instructions provided by the client. Communication is key, so I give regular updates to reassure the pet owner and address any concerns or changes in the pet’s behavior.

“Lindsey took great care of my cat over a few days and did a great job patiently waiting for my spicy girl to warm up. Would highly recommend and would definitely use Lindsey again!”
