About: 30 years as a dog mom, 2 young school-aged kids + friendly puppy!! Dogs have been a part of my life for more than 30 years! I grew up with a dog from the time I was 4 until I was 20, so caring for dogs has always been second nature to me. At 28, I got my own dog, who was a beloved part of our family for nearly 13 years. Shortly after saying goodbye to her we welcomed Lola, our mini dachshund, into our family in May 2026, and she has brought so much fun and energy to our home. I’m very comfortable with the day-to-day care that comes with having a dog, including walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Our family includes two young school-aged children, so our home is loving, active, and full of attention. Lola loves having other dogs around, so we’re especially excited to welcome friendly, social dogs who enjoy playing and having a canine companion. We’re a great fit for dogs who enjoy being part of a family and having plenty of love, attention, and playtime! Your dog will be treated like part of the family while they’re with us! We take dogs out first thing in the morning, throughout the day as needed (typically at least every 3 hours), and again before bedtime. I am not currently working, so I’m around and available throughout the day. On weekends, we’re home most of the time with Lola and the kids, so there’s plenty of company, attention, and playtime. We enjoy getting outside for walks and, when appropriate, may visit a dog park or a dog-friendly beach when seasonally available. We’ll always consider your dog’s personality, comfort level, and energy when planning activities. Our goal is for every dog to feel safe, loved, and right at home! Our home is a dog-loving, family-friendly environment with a large yard on a quiet private road, surrounded by woods and backing up to the Hannah Trails. There’s plenty of space for dogs to explore, play, and get some energy out! We have one very friendly, playful puppy (Lola) who loves having other dogs around, plus two young school-aged kids who are always happy to provide extra attention, entertainment, and cuddles. We especially enjoy welcoming dogs who are comfortable around children and other dogs. Our puppy has free rein of the house when we’re home and is crate-trained when we leave. For guest dogs, we’re happy to use a crate when we’re away if that’s what they’re accustomed to. If your dog isn’t crate-trained, that’s completely fine—we’re happy to work with their routine and make sure they’re comfortable and safe while we’re out. At night, we’ll follow whatever routine your dog is used to. They can sleep in a crate, in a designated area, or even in bed with us (& Lola) if that’s their normal routine. Our goal is to keep your dog’s experience as comfortable and familiar as possible while they’re staying with us!
“Tawny was absolutely amazing. She stepped in on short notice during a family crisis. She was professional and went above and beyond managing my pup's anxiety, upset tummy, and return of some annoying puppy behaviors. She was punctual, had excellent communication, and is an absolute angel. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi! I’m Jon, a dependable, active dog lover based in Beverly. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a long walk to burn off energy, or just some company while you’re away, I’m here to help. I’m a lifelong dog owner and currently have an 11-year-old pup named Baxter, so I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your best friend. I know every dog has a different personality, pace, and routine, and I take the time to make sure they’re comfortable and happy. Outside of dog walking, I work full-time in leadership, where reliability, communication, and responsibility are part of my everyday life. You can count on me to be on time, attentive, and to treat your dog with the same care I’d want for my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pup!! I’m primarily available on weekends for walks, drop-in visits, and pet care. I can also accommodate weekday requests with advance notice whenever my schedule allows. If you don’t see a time that works, feel free to reach out—I’m happy to see if we can make it happen! Every pet is different, so I take the time to understand their routine, personality, and needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, prefers a slower pace, or just enjoys companionship, I’ll make sure they receive attentive, personalized care. Safety is always my top priority. I’ll keep your pet secure, follow any feeding or medication instructions, and make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and affection while you’re away. I also believe communication is important. I’ll send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: I have my very own rescued golden retriever/hound mix named Goldfish. He’s taught me the importance of patience, slow introductions and the power of treats! I have experience working with large breeds, anxious dogs, reactive dogs and senior dogs with special needs. I’m also a runner so I’d be happy to take your high energy pups on a run! I have a flexible schedule since I work part time. I will be available to hang out with your pups most days of the week! I’m attune to dog body language and make sure to read their cues when approaching them. I’ll be sure that they’re secure when entering and exiting a home. When we’re on walks, I’ll make sure that they don’t get into things when they’re not supposed to and be cautious of other dogs and people.
“I think Matthew for the two quick walks this week. It was so helpful and you took care of Luna and I appreciate your feedback and I appreciate you walking her. I will definitely ask you again to walk her. Thank you so much.”

I’m currently a puppy parent, so I understand the patience, attention, exercise, playtime, and love required! I’ll treat your pets like they’re part of my own family and make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and affection. I am available for taking care of a dog in home, dog walks, playtime or cat visits. I am currently a stay-at-home mom and have the flexibility to provide care during the day. This includes walk, playtime and visits for love and attention. I have a fully fenced in back yard which our puppy adores. I am comfortable with using a crate or not, depending on the need of the dog.

I treat every dog and cat like the beloved family member that I know they are. I am a grad student at Salem State, so besides going to classes and completing my coursework, I am available.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
