“This was my first time leaving my cat Clementine, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Anna was incredibly communicative and attentive the entire week, sending regular updates that gave me real peace of mind. It was clear Clementine was in great hands! I’m so grateful for the care Anna provided and would absolutely book again.”
About: Welcome! I go by “Nancy!” 🐾🐈🦮 I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember and have had pets for over 25 years. Caring for animals has always been a part of my daily life, not just a hobby. Over the years I’ve had different kinds of pets, and I currently have two budgies and a betta fish. I enjoy getting to know each animal’s personality and earning their trust at their own pace. I’m naturally attentive and tend to notice when something seems off or when a pet needs a little extra patience and care. I understand how much pets mean to their families, and I would care for yours the same way I care for my own. Animals have always been a part of my life. I’m currently a student chaplain, a full-time mom to two girls, and a pet mom to two budgies and a betta fish. Caring for animals is already part of my daily routine, and in my free time, I’d love the opportunity to spend time with and care for other pets. While I’m new to this platform offering dog walking services, I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely enjoy being around animals. 🐾 I treat every pet as if they were my own. I focus on safe, enjoyable walks, follow the owner’s instructions carefully, and make sure each pet receives the attention, exercise, and care they need. I also provide updates so owners know how their pet is doing.
“Thank you so much for taking care of my girl! She's very shy so I love to see that she actually showed herself to at all! Will definitely be rebooking for when I'm traveling for work! Thank you so so much again!!”
“Jamie was fantastic to work with. She provided drop in visits for our cat, Rory, while we were traveling on business. I received plenty of photos and timely updates. I’d definitely rebook during future travel!”

“Great experience overall. They were a strong communicator from start to finish, really listened to our instructions, and kept us updated with plenty of videos and photos. Most importantly, our cat seemed happy and well cared for the whole time. I would absolutely book with them again.”

About: Growing up with dogs in our household fostered a deep love and appreciation for dogs and animals in general. Over the last few years I’ve gained valuable pet care experience. I enjoy connecting and providing special care to all creatures. I’m currently living in Beverly and working remote. I’m able to do walks, check-ins, and pet sitting mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I’m flexible and ready to provide exceptional care to your pets. Caring for pets in your home is no different than caring for children in your home. A high level of attention is non-negotiable so maintaining a solid walking, playing, and feeding schedule is of the upmost importance. Cuddles, belly rubs, and scratchies are also of the upmost importance.
“Michael, is great! He is punctual and has a great attitude. He watched our 150 plus pound Cane Corso. He kept it simple when some would tend to complicate caring for such a large breed. Michael made it work for us and he made my trip more enjoyable. He did a great job!”
“Brielle was so helpful in watching our kitty while out of town for a few days! She gave updates, sent lots of pictures and was an excellent communicator. I highly recommend Brielle!!”

I’m patient, attentive, and dependable, and I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and little quirks. Whether your pet is playful and energetic, shy and independent, or happiest curled up in a cozy spot, I’ll meet them where they’re comfortable. Most importantly, I’ll treat your fur babies like family and give them the same love, care, and attention I’d want for my own. 🐾❤️ I’m currently in nursing school, so while I do have a structured schedule, I also have plenty time during both the week and weekend to care for your pets.

“Having someone experienced with giving cats inhalers was the most important thing, and Liz handled it perfectly. This was by far the easiest time leaving the cats alone for me: I trusted Liz completely. Super caring and devoted to making sure our cats had the best time.”

I am familiar with using crates, basic obedience training, and petsitting dogs and cats including feeding, cleaning, playing, and walking the dog.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Peabody
Tawny was wonderful. She met with me for initial "meet and greet" right away, and my kitty loved her from the first moment. My kitty (over 20 yrs old) is normally shy and hides away from new people, but warmed up to Tawny right away. Tawny is kind, gentle and truly loves animals. She visited my kitty every day, and I got heart-warming photos via text from each visit. When I got back, kitty was happy, contented, as if I never left home. I am very happy that I found Tawny and can trust her with my furr-baby, when I travel from now on.
Ely was amazing! My cat recently got diagnosed with a condition that requires daily meds. I was worried about going away and finding someone who was able to administer his meds, but Ely was amazing and took great care of him. She also gave very thorough updates and send amazing photos. I would definitely love for Ely to sit for Mozzarella again.
Kirssy was an absolutely wonderful cat sitter. She made me feel so secure in all the care and love she was giving to them while I was away. She sent tons of photos and videos and has been extremely communicative since I first messaged her. I can’t recommend her enough, and I will be using her for future visits for sure!
I was very anxious to go away and leave my cat all alone. We had been through so much this past year. Abby was beyond amazing with Declan! Every day getting photos of him being cuddled and played with helped me to relax and enjoy my trip. Declan was truly in the best hands. She even helped me with a small household issue because bad weather was coming. She is extremely responsible, comes over when she is expected to, and gave my cat so much love. I would have her watch him again without hesitation. Abby did so much more than take care of Declan, she allowed me to have the peace of mind that she was going to be there for him. Lovely woman!
This has been our first trip leaving the cats in a very long while and we left leaving a little nervous but as Michaela came in and gave us updates, day by day, fotos, and helped around their necessities we were beyond grateful. She did an amazing job with our boy cat that is a bit of a hyper toddler, like a pro and even our shy cat came around and started to meet her by the door. All very good signs they also loved her visits.
We hired Jamie based on her recommendations and repeated customers here on Rover. I was nervous to leave my two kitties, especially my elder cat who is chronically ill. Jamie was punctual and attentive to their needs, feeding, dispensing my calico’s meds, and spending time with both. She alleviated my fears by being in touch during visits, and the photos she sent assured me that they were in good hands. They seemed calm and happy, responding to her positively. My second cat is very shy, and her approach obviously was effective as her photos show him very chill. I recommend her highly.
Caden is our cats’ new favorite person! We have two cats Ollie and Oatey and they both have a little bit of different personalities; Caden catered to both. Oatey can be a little shy with new people and by the third or fourth day he was cuddling up on her lap. Ollie is more outgoing but doesn’t always engage with play (because his brother steals the show) and Caden brought her IPad for him to play with some mice games, which he appeared to love. Ollie isn’t a lap cat and by the end he was sitting in Caden's lap too. Caden was super thoughtful and attentive. She noticed when our litter robot was full and made sure to change it so our guys had fresh litter. She made sure the cats had fresh water during her visits. She gave us excellent updates and kept our cats happy while we were away. I could not have enjoyed my trip as much as I did without Caden being our sitter.
