“Keelyn watched our cat Milo while we were out of town and did a great job - he is shy with strangers and usually hides, but Keelyn was able to locate him and snap a few photos.”

“Megan was very punctual and met with all my 5 dogs for a dog sitting request for next month. Our one worry was our one dog, Nino who is very skittish with new people. Megan did great and we are again booking her for a weekend next month. Thank you Megan!”

About: With 30 years in pet care and 50 years of animal ownership, I bring a deep love for animals to every client. I’m a stay-at-home mom and I volunteer and intern with a wildlife rehabilitator. From dogs to birds, bunnies, hamsters, and more, I’ve cared for them all—in-home and in clients’ homes—delivering compassionate, personalized pet care. Being a stay-at-home mom gives me the time and dedication to care for your pet or pets either in my home or in your home. Your pet(s) are welcome to stay in my home, a loving, safe, and pet-friendly environment, or I can care for them in your own home—whichever you prefer. They will receive the utmost love and care, which they deserve while you are away.

“Ely was the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. She won over our skittish dog and made sure both were comfortable, fed, medicated, and safe. She has an easy calm demeanor and our dogs trusted her quickly. She kept in touch, answered our questions, and took lots of photos to give us peace of mind. Highly recommend.”

“Gloria was absolutely wonderful with the cats and they are very happy! I wholeheartedly recommend her as a sitter! She is kind and genuinely cares about animals and that shines through and was the reason I felt very comfortable leaving them in her care!”

About: I've cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds since I was a kid, and been a dog mom myself for 12 years. I've done it all - from feeding, walks and playtime, to bathing and cleaning up accidental messes. I currently petsit for friends and family and love every second of it! I treat every animal I care for as if they were my own fur babies. I work from home and make my own schedule so I have lots of time and flexibility to stop in and take care of your furry friend! I'm comfortable walking multiple dogs on leashes and I'm extra patient with dogs who need a little extra support or guidance while on lead. I'm highly aware of my surroundings and keep playtime in safe, enclosed spaces your dog is comfortable in. And as I've cared for my dogs, as well as others' dogs, for about 20 years, I'm really good at reading dog body language and telling when they're tired, needing some rest or water, or still need a few more minutes of sniffing the neighbor's bushes :)

About: I grew up with cats, dogs and rabbits my entire life. I currently dog and cat sit for family, friends and neighbors! I have years of experience and plenty of references. I work in Danvers, MA from 8:30am to 7pm Sundays through Wednesdays. I am available for drop ins before and after work and also overnights if your animal is able to stay alone for longer periods of time. I am comfortable with feeding, walking, giving medicine and crate training. I am also open to whatever needs the owner requests to best suit the animal.

About: I grew up with a dog and have continued caring for dogs through friends and family over the years. I’m confident with daily responsibilities including walking, feeding, refreshing water, waste clean-up, and playtime. I’m comfortable with different ages, temperaments, and energy levels, and I prioritize safety, consistency, and attentive care. While I’m currently a cat owner, I genuinely enjoy working with dogs and providing dependable, responsible support for their routines. I work full-time as a teacher, which allows for consistent afternoon and evening availability during the school year. I’m flexible for drop-in visits after school hours and on weekends. I’m also widely available during school holidays, vacation weeks, and summer break. I have reliable transportation and am happy to travel locally to provide dependable, timely care At home, I care for my cat, Pinot, with a consistent routine such as measured feedings, fresh water, daily litter scooping and playtime to keep him active. I bring that same attentiveness into every drop-in visit. I respect each pet’s routine, move at their comfort level, and make sure they feel safe, seen, and cared for. I also send thoughtful updates so you know exactly how your pet is doing.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels for most of my life, from helping friends and family to raising my own high-energy pup! I’m especially comfortable with active breeds and understand the importance of structure, routine, and mental stimulation—not just exercise. I take a thoughtful, attentive approach to every dog in my care, paying close attention to behavior, energy levels, and individual needs. Whether it’s reinforcing basic training, managing overstimulation, or just making sure your dog feels safe and comfortable, I aim to create a calm, consistent environment. My background in hospitality means I’m highly reliable, communicative, and detail-oriented. You can expect regular updates, photos, and the peace of mind that your dog is being genuinely cared for—not just watched. I work from home doing consulting, which gives me a lot of flexibility to offer plenty of attention, potty breaks, and care for dogs staying in my home, as well as availability throughout the day for walks and drop-in visits around the North Shore. My GSP Milo is my constant work-from-home sidekick and is always happy to keep your pup company and play as much as they’d like! If your dog enjoys having a buddy, he can also join for walks or drop-in visits at your hose—but if they have more of preference for solo time, he’s more than happy to sit that one out. Whether I’m hosting your dog, visiting your home, or taking them out for a walk, my goal is always the same: to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved—with a good dose of fun mixed in. I take a thoughtful, low-stress approach and pay close attention to each dog’s behavior, energy level, and boundaries. Introductions to new friends (furry or human!) are always done slowly and intentionally so everyone feels comfortable. I aim to keep a structured but relaxed environment that helps dogs settle in without becoming overwhelmed. I’m happy to follow any routines or preferences you have—whether that’s crate training, sleep setup, feeding guidelines, or walk style—and I always provide regular updates and photos so you know exactly how your dog is doing. Potty breaks are typically every 2 hours or so, and more frequently for puppies or senior dogs as needed. I’m also very active (running, hiking, getting outside whenever I can), so I’m always happy to give higher-energy dogs the exercise they need, while still making sure they have time to rest and reset. I’m comfortable administering medications or supplements as needed, and with a young pup at home, our space is already very dog-friendly—puppy-proofed, with gates available for separation if needed, plenty of toys, and multiple crate options to help every dog feel safe and settled.

“Sharon was great with our two cats and we will definitely be contacting her again in the future.”

About: We have two dog tenants at home. Super friendly. Your dog won’t be alone! Super close to the beach, and we offer various snacks and toys! I work five days a week, from 10am-5pm and arrive home early. My girlfriend works from home so your dogs will be accompanied. We live five minutes walk away from the Beach. We have two corgis at home. You loved ones will feel at home! Our two dogs have their own crates. We have extensive experience with crate training. We have two bedrooms and one big living room, and your dogs will be safe and accompanied. We offer a large size crate for your pet, and we can put your uncrated dogs in our bedrooms. We walk our dogs at least twice a day, and we live very close to the Swampscott beach!

About: I grew up with dogs and have done dog walking for people around the neighborhood. I will board and care for dogs for family or friends whenever they go on trip. I love dogs and always make sure to cater to their needs while keeping an open line of communication so their parents know how they are doing. I work full time as a nanny from 8 - 5 so I mostly do dog walks during the week and I have my weekends fully open. I have a large, two bedroom apartment and 2 cats and 1 dog who are all very friendly. I can board dogs who can be left alone for a couple of hours since either I or my husband are usually home. I start with observing the pets. Each animal has their own wants/needs and their own way of communicating it. It is important that I understand their cues to give them exactly what they need and gain their trust. I believe in an open line of communication and so, do my best to update the parents on how their furry friends are doing.

About: Hi there! I’m Ana, and I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for the past 12 years, from my own beloved pet to my friends’ companions. Now that I’ve retired from my lawyer duties, I’m excited to fill my days with the joy and company of more furry friends. I’m very flexible with my schedule, since I no longer work a 9-to-5, I can easily adapt to your pet’s unique needs, whether that means extra playtime, long walks, or relaxing. My home is spacious, comfortable, and a safe environment where your pet will feel like they’re in their second home. I would love to have the opportunity to care for your pet and give them the attention and comfort they deserve. Looking forward to meeting you soon!

“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!”

About: I love dogs, they each have unique personalities. I do understand that our pets are very special and deserve great care. I am prompt and I will communicate with you. Recently I have dog sat and dog walked a pair of Samoyed a pair of dogs quite often. They love watching me cook. They can sit, stay, and give paw. Very routine and food driven. Great with kids and gentle. I have availability all day every other weekend and Tuesday and Thursday nights. I love dog walking, being outdoors. If your dog does well with children my availability is more open. I will feed them, give them water, give their medications, take for walks, and monitor to make sure they are not destructive of any items. Also I give very good pet cuddles.

About: I excel in multitasking, providing companionship, and assisting with various tasks. I'm well-versed in training puppies and offering support for seniors, making me a versatile and caring sitter. I allocate time daily for feeding, exercise, and playtime. Weekly, I ensure grooming and health check-ups, tailoring care to each pet's needs for their well-being and happiness. Pet care is a regular part of my routine, involving feeding, grooming, exercise, and playtime. I prioritize their well-being and tailor care to their unique requirements. In both settings, I provide attentive care by feeding, grooming, and exercising pets. In clients' homes, I maintain their routines and ensure a comfortable environment for them.
