About: I’ve been caring for animals for about 2 years, but they’ve always been a huge part of my life. As a proud pet parent myself, I know just how much love and attention our furry friends need to feel safe and happy. Whether it's going for fun walks, playtime in the yard, or just quiet cuddle time, I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. I truly love what I do, and it brings me so much joy to give pets the same care and comfort I’d want for my own. Pet care naturally fits right into my daily and weekly routine! I’m fully open on weekends, which makes it easy to dedicate my time to caring for pets. During the week, I’m a full-time college student, so I do have specific times I need to be in class—but before and after, I have long breaks that give me plenty of flexibility for check-ins, walks, and playtime. I love using those free hours to spend time with pets, making sure they’re happy, comfortable, and cared for while their families are busy! Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or in a client’s home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In a client’s home, I keep pets in their familiar routines—feeding, walking, and playtime just the way they’re used to—so they stay happy and relaxed while you’re away or busy. At this time, I don’t plan on taking in any animals since I’m in college, so all of my care will be in the comfort of your pet’s own home.
“Teri was an exceptional dog walker, sitter and companion for the hours she spent with our 6-month-old pup. Teri comes with a wealth of knowledge about dogs which was so helpful to us. She was punctual, great with communicating, and attuned to our pup the entire time. We received updates, photos and some very helpful advice. We felt so secure leaving our pup in Teri’s hands and highly recommend her to anyone seeking a loving, caring, attentive, and knowledgeable dog walker or sitter!”
About: I have dog sat for around 11 years, I worked at a doggy daycare as well as volunteered at local animal shelters as a kennel tech and walker, i have extensive knowledge on dog body language and diets. I have 3 years of experience with reactive dogs and have the patience nessacary to care for them. I am a college student full time so I am gone for up to 3 hours a time but no more than that. I take walks in the morning and afternoon so if able your dog can join! As I am in college I am unable to board dogs in my home but am more than happy to house sit! For saftey, you know your dog best so let me know what works and doesn't work for you!
“Stiles dropped in to take care of our cat Cosmo for two weeks and it was the best catsitting experience we have had! It was so nice to get daily updates and pictures and Stiles was communicative and helpful. Stiles even got our shy cat to open up and play a bit! I highly recommend Stiles and will definitely book with Stiles again.”
About: My entire life I have grown up with pets, dogs cats bunnies guinea pigs lizards birds, you name it we had it! Good pet care to me includes knowing their needs way ahead of time . In my time around animals, I have yet to meet one that doesn’t like me, whether it’s a energetic puppy or a lazy house cat. I’m extremely responsible and trustworthy, in addition to being creative at a moments notice. Taking care of animals means you must be ready for whatever may happen, and patience is a key. These are all qualities I possess! To me, being a people person means you also are a pet person. You and your beloved pets will be happy, healthy and safe with me! I’m currently working part time as a yoga teacher, so I have lots of time to take care of your pet kiddos! Whether it’s a walk around the park, some quality play time at home, or meal support, I am open to it all. Meeting a new animal is all about establishing safety and trust with them first, to show them I am a safe human that’s here to love and care for them too. Once they feel safe, we can get to the fun stuff of play time and walks!
About: Hello! I'm available for dog walking and drop-in pet care and am local to the Salem, MA area. My services include walks, playtime, potty breaks, food and water refills, and giving your pup the care they need. I’ve been caring for dogs for years — from growing up with a family dog (a shih-tzu!) to providing pet care for neighbors, friends, and family. I’ve watched energetic dogs such as aussies, golden retrievers, doodles, and smaller dogs, too! My experience includes both overnight stays and daily drop-in visits, where I’ve helped with everything from feeding and walking to keeping pets company and active. I’m happy to connect! I work from home and can offer up to 2 walks or 1–2 at-home visits per day. I’m available in the mornings. Please inquire about 11am-3pm on weekdays and I can check my availability. I approach every dog in a gentle and enthusiastic manner and believe it's important to listen to pet owners about any specific behavioral issues so I can adjust my approach accordingly.

“Cassie was wonderful for our beloved Howard! She took such good care of him while we were away, gave him all the love and attention he needed, good walks and was very attentive to his senior dog needs. Thank you so much Cassie!”
“Vanessa took great care of my cats during 100 degree weather while I was away from work. She ensured they drank enough water and adjusted ACs where needed. I always know they were safe with her.”
About: I am a graduate of the Essex North Shore Companion Animals program where I learned about different enrichment and health care needs for a variety of different animals, as well as have been a loving pet sister to a number of dogs, cats and small rodents! I am currently a full time college student with a part time job, so I do have to be fairly strict on which days I can provide services, but I am very flexible on days that I have available! I am very attentive and love to give your furry friends exercise and enrichment, whether that’s a nice long walk or playtime in the backyard.

Perla kept nervous and super sweet bully breed for several nights, She treated him like one of the family, gave him lots of cuddles, and had him calm and snuggled up in no time. Her home is very peaceful, loving and quiet, and she has lots of nice outdoor areas for walks. She also had great communication and sent me lots of updates. Highly recommended!!! My boy will be back soon!!!
Abby was so incredible when she arrived to check on our cats and found one with an injury. Immediate contact, clear photos and description to help us make decisions remotely, and took great care doctoring and keeping us in the loop until we got home. It is such a great feeling to have someone you trust completely with your furballs, and have them happy too. And for the record- everything was fine thanks to her extra care. 20/10 highly recommend!
We have a reactive pup so we scheduled a meet and greet with Jesse - it went incredibly well and he understood exactly how to approach our pup with his specific temperament to make it all go well. By the end my pup was literally falling asleep in his lap which I had never seen before with a newly introduced human with my dog! Im very excited to continue booking with Jesse!
Brianne took care of my cat for two weeks with drop-in visits and did a great job. She fed her, gave her medication, scooped the litter, and made sure she got some playtime and attention. She even took our trash out. It was such a relief knowing our cat was being looked after so well while we were away. I didn’t have to worry, and that meant everything. I’d absolutely book Brianne again.
Sarah has cat sit for me many times before. This time I was leaving in a hurry with a lot of personal stuff going on, and didn’t have time to prepare for her as much as I usually do. She totally had it covered, and picked up all the slack to make sure my cat was cared for really well! I am so grateful to have her.
This was the second time I used Stiles to check in on my cat while i was away and give her meds. They are always reliable and communicative by sending photos and I am happy to know there is someone I can trust to care for my cat when I go out of town. Definitely recommend!
