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!
“Linda is very reliable with visits and is very timely! I never have a concern about reminders for dates booked which is very reassuring during busy travel! Linda makes an effort to leave their spaces tidy, thank you Linda!”

“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!”

“Charles and Teresa were fantastic! Will definitely be using them in the future. These two came through for me last minute and gave my dog the best care.”

About: Donna and I started taking care of dogs when we lost our Chesapeake Bay Retriever, Dutchin. We got her when she was 3 months old and she was our baby. When she crossed the Rainbow Bridge, we couldn't bring ourselves to get another dog, but wanted to still experience the joy that dogs bring to our lives. We decided to provide both care and a safe, loving home for other people's pets while their humans are away or otherwise unable to care for them short-term. This way, we can give you peace of mind in knowing your best friend is safe and happy, and we get to interact with all kinds of dogs, which gives us great joy! Your friend will get all the love and attention you give them; and, well, if we spoil them a bit too much, sorry (not sorry)! We are both retired, so we have plenty of time to care for your pets whether in our home or yours. We are available for walks, drop in visits and overnight boarding in our home. When boarding with us, your fur baby will never be alone as someone is always home. We have a large fenced-in yard where your dog can run and play off leash safely. Are your pets used to making themselves at home on the couch? Not a problem! They are more than welcome to snuggle up on ours. If you wish to make your pet a little more at home, you may bring your pet's bed, toys and/or crate.
About: I love furry friends! I have a shihpoo (Ollie) and am very seasoned with other small dogs and puppies. Additionally, experience with senior family dogs. I’m currently working from home and have time during my day to assist those who want to focus on work or other activities without letting their best furry friends suffer! I will treat your dog like my own and shower them with care and let them explore on our daily walks so they can get the enrichment they desire!
“Maggie was an excellent when watching our 11 month old Bernedoodle. She stopped by twice and kept us updated on both visits. She played in the yard with him so he could get some energy out and made sure he had everything he needed when she left. We highly recommend her!”

“Karen has done multiple visits to our home to take care of our Bernedoodle while we were at work. She is excellent and our dog loves her. She sends updates and pictures after every visit. We appreciate her help so much and we highly recommend her!”

About: Have raised two labs, so can handle all age spans. Recently have done senior care for my own dog, who passed at the age of 16.5. I am passionate and have a basic understanding in animal nutrition. I believe that the love and care your pour into in animal is what you get back in return. Im currently a stay at home mom to three loving girls, 10, 12, 14. I deeply love animals and have felt the emptiness of losing our lab in September. I would love an opportunity to love on your pet! I have a small unfenced yard currently, but live on a quiet street with an Amazing park at the end of the street, that is shaded and has many trees for sniffing. I am planning on being around most of the summer and can accommodate, walking, sleeping and cuddling needs. I currently have no pets in myhouse, so your pet will get the utmost attention. I will not only love, but can provide very focused and physical care. I can be as athletic as the pet needs t to be or as chill as the pet demands. I just want to make your pet feel loved and comfortable. If its just a walking service needed i can do that to, I am a runner and love being outdoors so can run or walk your pet wherever they might want to go.

About: I love being active and caring for animals. I will be very attentive and provide your dog with lots of exercise, love & joy. I am available during the week and weekends for overnights/walks. I have been taking care of Friend’s Dogs and my own dog for over 20+ years. You will be assured your dog will be tired and in good care with me. I am an abstract artist and would love this opportunity to supplement my income. My schedule is very flexible and would love to put you at ease caring for your pet while away. I have lots of energy and love to spend time outside with your dog. I assure you will be in great hands when you leave your pet home with me!
“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!”

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!
“This was my first time using Adele to let my dogs out and I think she did a wonderful job when I came home. Everybody was happy and healthy and that’s all I asked for and I would definitely use her again.”

“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!”

“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!”

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!

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.
