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.

“Fantastic dog sitter who really took my dogs needs into consideration. Can’t wait for her to watch my dog again!”

Craig M.

“Paloma is wonderful and we felt such at ease having her care for our furbaby. She sure eased my anxiety of leaving him. She was extremely communicative, consistently shared video and photos with us. We are so appreciative for her caring for him and will definitely continue to request her services, and will book in advance to ensure she is available. Kekse looks forward to her visiting again”

“I can't recommend Kathryn enough! Kathryn braved a massive snow storm (by foot) to feed Snicks one day and checked in to make sure I was going to be getting home on time even with the snow related travel delays. She was prompt with her communication and bonded really well with my Snickers. She sent tons of pictures and was sure to update me the whole time I was away. Thank you so much, Kathryn! I'll be reaching out again :)”

About: I provide dependable, personalized care that helps pets feel safe and comfortable in their own routine. I’m experienced with dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and temperaments, including energetic puppies, senior pets, and shy or anxious animals. I focus on patience, attention, and clear communication so pet owners always feel informed and at ease. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, medication support, feeding schedules, or extra comfort for older pets, I treat every pet like family and make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to provide consistent attention, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I keep a flexible schedule so I can accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits when needed. I make sure each pet gets reliable care, regular exercise, and plenty of affection while maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I care for pets in my home by abiding by the owner's feeding and snack schedule. I have fenced-in yard for playing. I walk the dogs in my neighborhood or go to a local park. I keep them on a leash, I NEVER let them roam free in a public area.

About: I first discovered my passion for animal care in fifth grade when I brought home and later adopted my class pet, Spot, an anole lizard who remained with our family for two years. Since then, I have continued developing hands-on experience caring for animals, including working with reactive dogs. During the pandemic, my family adopted our dog Henry, and through that experience I gained valuable insight into supporting dogs with anxiety and learning effective, patient approaches to behavioral management. I currently have full availability for the summer and am flexible in accommodating a wide range of pet care needs, including daytime, evening, and weekend care. I prioritize clear and consistent communication with pet owners to ensure I fully understand each pet’s individual needs and routine. My goal is to provide attentive, reliable care and make sure every pet is safe, comfortable, and receiving the highest quality care possible.

About: I have so much love for animals, I will treat your pet as if it was my own and spoil them with all the love! I have experience administering oral medication and following special diets. I’m currently a part time yoga teacher and nanny and have plenty of time to return home in between to make sure your pet is loved, safe and taken care of. I will treat your home with the utmost respect and care for your pet with dedication and love! I live in a quiet neighborhood great for walks and have a back yard and porch as well.

About: I provide personalized one-on-one pet sitting in a peaceful, stress‑free home where your pet is my only priority. I care for just one dog or family at a time, and with no pets or children of my own, your pup or cat receives truly individualized attention and affection. I work from home, which allows for a flexible schedule filled with constant companionship, attentive care, and plenty of time for walks—something I genuinely love and happily share with your pup! My spacious 1,700 sq. ft. home provides a safe, clean, and secure environment with plenty of room for supervised play, games of fetch, and calm, cozy spaces where your pet can relax and feel at home.

About: Hi, I’m Madelyn! I’ve been petsitting here on Rover and for local friends and neighbors for the past 7 years now. As well as dogs and cats, I also have a lot of experience with ferrets, lizards, bunnies, backyard animals, fish, and pet birds! Over the past 7 years of housesitting in Marblehead, as well as my childhood years spent on a farm and surrounded by a variety of animals, I have gained a lot of experience and skill, when it comes to working with and connecting with animals. Currently I work with a few families on an as needed basis as a family organizer and infant babysitter. My schedule is flexible, and I don’t work many hours at a time. Petsitting and dogwalking is my main priority and I’m grateful I am able to schedule any other bookings around my schedule. Housesitting: I use your home as my “home base” meaning I will sleep and spend any downtime in your home. This does not mean I will be at your home 24/7. Walks: When walking, I will provide your pup with a 30 or 60 min walk around your neighborhood. I’d be happy to collaborate with local doggy friends for group walks as well! Drop-ins: If you are going away and leaving your little friends home alone, I am available to stop in to provide food, water, potty breaks/cleanups, and lots of cuddles!

About: My schedule is very specific working around work shifts! I’m very communicative and we can work something out that is best for both of us!! I have both personal and professional experience with cats and dogs. I’ve worked with dogs during my time at Essex Tech. I have also have basic experiences with small animals such as rabbits, birds, and reptiles. During my time there I learned the basics of training, grooming and overall behavior. This all led me to have a better grasp at caring for dogs and what their needs are. I have my own cat named Fasa and a dog named Summer, so I have personal experience with them! He’s the buff kitty in my photos! I have also worked at a doggy daycare located in Salem called Walk A Pup where they strive to provide a safe and enriching environment for the dogs in their care. During those six months, I not only walked dogs but also did basic obedience and evening check-ins at client's homes. I was also briefly a bather at Petsmart where watching behavior is a big aspect. Currently I work there caring for the animals we sell. I am Pet CPR and First Aid certified. Working part-time fills in a lot of my time and my schedule is often on a week-by-week basis. My availability varies, so it’s best for you to just message me to find out if my schedule works with yours! At the moment I mainly have Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays free! I know leaving your pet to a stranger is very nerve-wracking and scary. However, I like to reassure you that because of my experience, I am equipped to make sure that your pet has the care they need while you are away for work, vacation, or any other situation. I am more than happy to update you as many times are you need me to. I am also certified in Pet CPR and First aid and have a car that allows me to drive your pet somewhere if something were to happen.

“David is great with dogs and an excellent caregiver. He is reliable, professional and communicative.”

About: We are two dog lovers who work from home and are available to care for your pet when you are unable to. We always watch all of our friends’ dogs when they are away and have done this for many years. We enjoy this so much that we wanted to do it even more often. We have a cat who hides whenever we have company, regardless of if they are human or canine. We live on a pond that is perfect for walks and also near Lynn woods. We are early risers who work from home so one of us is always home to make sure your pet is well taken care of. We have a large home on a pond and are happy to accommodate any of your pet’s special needs so that they are happy and relaxed. We are two homebodies that both work from home so we are able to spend lots of quality time with your pet. One of us is an early riser and one is a night owl so we can accommodate what ever schedule your pet is accustomed to. We have a large home with lots of great walking options nearby. We try to stick to similar rules and routines that your pet is accustomed to at home in order to to try to simulate their home environment and make their stay as comfortable as possible.

About: I have many years of experience taking care of pets. I currently have 1 cat and 2 dogs. My cats name is Mellow and my dog is a Shiba Inu named Luna and my other dog a mutt I rescued from a shelter since she was a puppy named Ellie. I love my furry babies and thought giving someone else’s furry family members the same kind of love while they’re not home would be a great way to spend my free time. I love playing/ walking with my dog Luna as she is very energetic and petting my cat to hear her loud purrs. My cats like to keep to herself and will stay in my room most of the time since that's where she likes to sleep. I think giving animals a lot of time for playing, socializing and walking is very important and plan to do that with yours too! My apartment complex also has a dog park that I can take you pup to. I always want to make any animal that is with me feel safe and loved. I'm always available if you have any questions since I work from home and will be sure to send you updates/ pictures daily or whenever you request it. I can't wait to meet you and your pup or cat! If I do not answer right away I may be in a work meeting but you will get answer from me regardless! I’m currently working full time from my apartment. I usually take your pups on a walk in the morning at 8:30am then a walk during lunch at 1pm then their last walk around 7pm They have access to the main apartment. Dog I am watching are not allowed in my room due to me having a carpet. I know accidents happen and that is why I would like them to stay in the main apartment where there are hard wood floors only.
