“Janine was so great with my pups. My one dog can be iffy on new people and she was so comforting to him that he absolutely loved her. She handled them both so well and was very good at communicating throughout the entire visit. Will definitely book with her again!”
“They were amazing! This was my first time leaving our (very anxious) dog with anyone other than family. My dog seemed to LOVE them which made me feel so much less nervous being gone. They provided detailed updates and pictures, kept him active, and I was able to enjoy my trip reassured that he was well taken care of! I will absolutely rebook with them for any needs in the future!”
“Laura was wonderful! She was very consistent with sharing updates on our cat and even ventured over in the snow so our cat wouldn’t be alone. I felt super confident and comfortable that Betty was in great hands with Laura and would recommend her to anyone!”
“Linda did a wonderful job watching my two cats while I was away. From the first day she met my cats they were comfortable with her. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone!”
“I arranged to have Hope do a daily drop in visit for my indoor cat while I was vacationing. She sent pictures and a brief update letting me know that he was well each day, which was very much appreciated. Hope was lovely to work with and very trustworthy. I highly recommend her.”
“Robyn was very friendly and communicative throughout her drop-in visits to check on our cats. We received daily pics and updates — we will definitely have her back and we highly recommend Robyn!”
“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!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting on and off for the past 10 years. I love not only doing the regular tasks but spending actual time with them playing with toys and teaching them new games! I am a college student at American University and I am home in Newburyport for the summer. I have lots of availability and am always open to moving things around to fit better into your schedule. I am very active so I love to go out on multiple walks a day which I can bring pets on. I have a big yard that dogs can go out and play in and my neighbours have 2 very kind dogs to keep them socialising!
“Adele was wonderful with our dogs during her visits. She consistently sent detailed updates and notes about each visit, which we really appreciated. We’d be happy to have her back anytime we need help.”
About: I grew up with cats and medium and large dogs (along with other smaller critters), regularly took care of neighborhood dogs (overnight stays and walks), and I still take care of my parent’s 95 lb dog and cat when they’re out of town. I travel occasionally for work and personal reasons so haven’t yet committed to having my own pet (yet!). I love having a dog companion on my regular walks/hikes. I have a hybrid work arrangement where I’m part time in the office in Newburyport and part time at home in Amesbury. My schedule varies based on work/personal travel schedule and can be pretty flexible depending on the day when I’m at home. I’m happy to take dogs for walks near your home as needed (as short or as long of a walk as you’d like) and also happy to stay overnight to take care of pets.
“Stephanie has become our trusted caretaker for Pepper when we are out of town. She is great at sending daily updates and goes above and beyond to take good care of Pepper, who is usually one to keep to herself but comes out from hiding to see Stephanie when she comes over!”
About: I care immensely for all animals. Especially playful cats. Have always owned cats. My mom recently passed and I’ve taken on her 2 beloved cats I am not working as I had to leave my job to care for my mom. I’m a young 64 yr old who is energetic I do whatever is expected of me depending on clients needs and instructions. Keep notes for pet owners. Meticulous. Honest kind fun to be around
About: cared for dogs my whole life, as the daughter of a former dog breeder I am comfortable around animals of many sizes. Overnights, walks, care! I am available to do weekly or daily walks during my lunch from 12-1 or 1-2pm, or after 5:30 & for overnight sitting in your home I will be sure to get a clear understanding of you and your pet whether it is for a daily walk or overnight, good communication!

Newburyport cat parents share their Rover experiences
Janine was available for a last minute request to care for our cat. She hasn’t provided care for him before but figured out his autofeeder and was even able to snap some photos of Tex. He’s very shy but I know was happy to have her check on him. As always she provided outstanding and reliable care ❤️
We just moved here last week and were gone over Christmas so we had to find someone reliable to take care of our cat, Pancakes, on very short notice. Laney was extremely reliable, communicative, and helped relieve an area of stress for us over this holiday season. We will definitely continue to use her for cat care and also to take care of our pup in the future.
