“This is my second time booking with Megan! She takes amazing care of Mr Cat and provides detailed updates about how he’s doing after every visit. She definitely puts my mind at ease when I’m gone.”

“Erica treated my cats like they were her own, and regularly stayed longer than the scheduled 30 minutes. She made sure they had food and water and played with them when they wanted it.”

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: We have two dog tenants at home. Super friendly. Your dog won’t be alone! Super dog friendly townhouse in a nice community, and we offer various snacks and toys!

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 also put your uncrated dogs in our bedrooms. We walk our dogs and yours at least twice a day, and more upon request.

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.

About: I've had pets my whole life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. I'm experienced with everything from daily walks and feeding schedules to giving medications and providing extra attention when needed. I treat every pet like they're my own and understand how important it is for owners to feel comfortable while they're away. I've also helped friends and family with their pets over the years, and I know every animal has their own personality and comfort level. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while giving owners peace of mind. Since I work from home, pets are rarely left alone and receive plenty of supervision, attention, and potty breaks throughout the day. Whether your pet is working on potty training, crate training, or following a specific routine, I’m happy to help keep things consistent while they’re in my care. I provide a safe, clean, calm, and smoke-free environment for pets in my care. While I don’t have a fenced yard, dogs receive regular walks, potty breaks, and exercise based on their individual needs and energy levels. For privacy and safety reasons, I don’t offer home tours.

“Charlie was absolutely lovely. Very professional while still being friendly and not too formal. Communication was clear and prompt from the planning of the meeting to the actual visits caring for my dog. Definitely will be reaching out again when I next need a dog sitter”

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.

About: Hi pet parents! My name is Jaz, and I’m a huge animal lover with 10+ years of experience caring for pets. I grew up with both cats and dogs, and family and friends have always relied on me to watch, walk, and care for their pets over the years. I currently have a cat of my own, but I’m definitely a big dog lover too. If it were up to me, I’d probably have five cats and five dogs but my husband says otherwise, so pet sitting is the perfect compromise. 😂 I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s needs and routines however I can, and I’ll always keep you updated with plenty of pictures and check-ins so you know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. If your dog is more comfortable in a cat free environment, I’m also happy to have my cat stay with nearby family during their visit. I’d love the chance to meet you and your furry family member! Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I homeschool, which allows me to be flexible with my time. I love going on walks and spending time outdoors together as a family, so your pet would fit right into the fun and daily adventures. Your pet would get lots of attention, companionship, playtime, and care throughout the day not just quick check-ins. Because of my flexible schedule I can give your pet attention and care throughout the day. I will make sure your pet has all of their needs met, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, exercise, and lots of love. We’re also happy to go the extra mile when needed, whether that means extra walks, keeping up with your pet’s usual routine, administering basic medications, or giving them extra comfort and attention if they’re feeling anxious while away from home. We do live in an apartment, but we make sure pets get plenty of outdoor time and exercise. There are lots of great walking areas nearby, as well as a dog park close to us where your dog can safely run around and burn off energy, and won't feel stuck inside all day.

“We love using Isabella and on watch penny. She is consistent and flexible with our sometimes hectic schedule and she always teaches out to confirm any changes or reaffirm plans are still the same.”

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

“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.”

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 have owned dogs since I was 7 years old. I have always cared for them as if they were my own children! I have a 8 yr old pug (Lily) who has gotten along with every dog we have had. Snuggles and walks are part of the stay and every doggie guest is sent home with a special treat as a thank you for overnight stays with me! I can also pick up and drop off local pups at no charge! I work from home so I am always here to attend to the dogs. I also have older children who love to play and cuddle with them! I have a fenced in yard and a safe street to walk dogs on. I have a gate to prevent dogs from going upstairs. My couch is a comfy space for the dogs to lounge!

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 :)

“Aimee truly went above and beyond for us and our kitties! She sent plenty of pictures and updates, communicated clearly, and followed their care instructions perfectly. We had the pleasure of having Aimee over to care for our cats for both short and long term periods, and she was great at maintaining our home for the cats while we were away. We would highly recommend her to anyone!!”

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 have 20 years of experience with looking after pets of all ages to the best of my ability. I treat your pet as if they’re my own and ensure they’re able to be as happy as could be, while their parents are away. I ensure to send updates, pictures, and videos for your peace of mind. I have experience with administering medication to pets, both pills and liquid. Written instructions are appreciated, but not required. 🙂 I’m focusing on my Rover clientele so I am available full-time. Please contact me for a meet and greet and see where everything goes from there! I am not able to offer boarding at home, but am able to take care of your babies in the comfort of your home where they’re most comfortable. If you prefer to provide instructions for your pets, I will follow them. You will receive a lot of pictures and videos of your fur babies as well.
