Dog Sitting Topsfield

About: I have taken care of neighbors and friends dogs since I was 13. I have been doing overnight stays since then as well. I have done single nights as well as multiple weeks! I am able to give medication and ensure your puppy will be safe and loved! I have also dealt with senior dogs, puppies, high energy, and anxious dogs. I also have experience working at a doggy day care taking care of both big and small dogs! I am available during the week. I am available most weekends for boarding and I can do drop ins before 12:00 and after 6:30 pm! I have an unfenced backyard but have a long leash outside in case your dog needs that! I have one dog of my own who loves to play! I allow dogs on the couch and bed!

“Dominique took such great care of my cats while I was away! I was nervous to leave my babies for 3 weeks but having Dominique stop by made my vacation less stressful and more enjoyable. She is truly an animal lover!! Thanks for everything Dominique :)”

About: I have cared for pets for almost 6 years, ranging from pet sitting to caring for dogs while working at my local grooming facility. I also frequently volunteer at Cape Ann Animal Aid in their cat wing caring for the shelter cats. I have fed, cleaned, and walked dogs. I am also experienced in veterinary care including administering medications and being certified in FearFree, Pet first aid, Pet CPR, and more. I fully dedicate my time to your pets, and I am able to take them to dog parks, beaches, anything that’ll allow them to socialize and get proper exercise! When you are gone I would do anything and everything to make your pet feel as comfortable as they can, as well as keeping up with their current routine. I am experienced in dogs/cats that are very anxious, whether that means shy towards humans/dogs, afraid of loud noises, reactivity, etc. Due to my veterinary background and personal experience, I am fully capable of administering medications including daily or preventatives. (Oral, topical, etc) I am currently working part-time, but I am fully free on days that I am not working. I am available after 11am and before 8pm. I am available on weekdays and weekends, as well as some holidays. I am a college student, so I am only available over the summer, winter, and spring when I am home for breaks. I am currently unable to care for pets in my own home at this time due to the temperament of my pets, however I can care for pets in clients homes. I am familiar with using crates, basic obedience training, and petsitting dogs and cats including feeding, cleaning, playing, and walking the dog.

“Jodi is great with my dog Mia. Did a check in visit this evening to take her out and feed her dinner. Jodi trays Mia like her own pet and gives updated throughout the visit!”

About: I’ve been a pet lover all my life. I was lucky enough to work in an Animal Hospital while I was in college and learned basic pet First Aid, and how to spot health issues with animals before they become a problem. I currently walk and pet sit dogs as small as 7lbs to my biggest client who is 135lbs. I’m semi retired and love spending time with animals, so walking and pet sitting has been great! I am flexible and have a good car that is reliable in all weather. I have two large pups at home ( Beau and Casey Jones), who stay home when I pet sit and walk dogs so that I can give my client’s pets my undivided attention.

About: I’ve been fostering dogs for the last four years! Even during my crazy college schedule I made it a priority to spoil all my foster pups! When I was too busy for a full time foster, I’d take the local shelter dogs on walks for a shelter break! Currently looking for a full time position, so my schedule is super flexible! Let me know whenever you need help and I’ll reply as soon as possible. I always make sure to stick to the sidewalk when walking pets and maintain a safe distance from the road and from other animals! It’s also crucial to me that I leave your home in the condition I found it, with no mess left behind!

About: Hi Pet Parents! 🐾 please read I bring over 6 years of pet care experience from Wag and have been on Rover for about a year where I built long term relationships with pups (and their humans!) through a ton of walks, drop-ins and sittings! ✨ What sets me apart? - Consistency & reliability: I treat your pets and your home with the same care I’d want for my own. - Experience with all kinds of dogs: from shy rescues to energetic puppies to senior pups or disabled dogs who need gentler attention and care - Communication: I keep you in the loop with updates, photos and videos so you can relax knowing your best friend is happy and safe. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone and I don’t take that lightly. Whether it’s a quick walk, an overnight stay or daily drop ins, I’m here to make sure your pets feel loved and cared for while you’re away. - I know a lot of you are parents and / or are very busy if you need more assistance such as picking your dog up from doggy day care, grooming appointments or simply just cleaning up the house please let me know and we can discuss further Can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies! 🐶🐾 I have the flexibility to adapt to your pet’s specific routine and needs, so they get consistency and attention just like they would if you were home. When I care for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. - Walks & exercise: I match your dog’s pace and energy level whether that’s a quick potty break, a long walk playtime. - Drop-ins: I handle feeding, fresh water, litter or potty breaks and always make time for playtime and affection so your pet feels loved, not just “checked on.” - Sitting: I provide companionship, stick to your pet’s daily schedule and make sure your home is respected and cared for while you’re away. I completely understand how much trust it takes to let someone into your home. For extra peace of mind, I always encourage pet parents to use cameras if they’d like because that way you can see your pets happy and comfortable while you’re away. I also send regular updates, photos and videos so you can relax knowing your best friend is in loving hands. Just for extra reassurance, I don’t invite people into your home. The only time I ever have was for a family I’d been sitting for over many years, and I made sure to ask first—I only had my dad over for dinner because it was Thanksgiving during that stay. Aside from that, I would never invite friends or anyone else over, as I personally find that disrespectful.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for as long as I remember. I grew up with a Newfoundland and a Collie; meaning I have lots of experience with high energy pups as well as mellow ones. I’ve dog sat for neighbors on and off for 3+ years. Will shower your dog with love! I work part time at a restaurant, meaning I’ll definitely have time to fit your dogs needs into my schedule! With work hours, it may be difficult to fit into specific times, but I can accommodate the best that I can. Communication is key. My senior girl dog is not the friendliest with other dogs, so I would refrain from bringing any dogs back to my home. However, I will transport myself to your home and accommodate for your dogs needs/desires as best as I can!

“Laura was great. She cleaned some unfortunate litter box issues. Bless her. More importantly than that, though. I returned home to cats that were not stressed. This is a first for them and I’m so grateful.”

About: I love and have cared for dogs for over 20 years. I recently retired and have lots of spare time now. Would love to work with dogs in retirement. I have recently retired and have much more time on my hands. I love dogs and have 1 of my own. I walk mine twice daily and we go to dog park weekly. I also bath my dog Bridgett weekly too. I will care for pet in client's home following specific guidance from client for their fur baby. I will be extra attentive in following directions given by client and will communicate with client as desired with pictures or verbal recap of interactive sessions with dog.

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.

“Adele was wonderful with our dogs during her visits. She consistently sent detailed updates and notes about each visit, which we really appreciated. We’d be happy to have her back anytime we need help.”

“Diane was amazing! I’m a super anxious helicopter pet mom and I felt very relieved with Diane taking care of my fur babies. Reliable and has great communication - plus gave me lots of pictures!”

Jessica G.

“Lauren was fabulous! My dog loved her! She was very responsible and did everything I asked her to do. She sent me pictures everyday which I really appreciated. I’ve already recommended her to some of my friends. I’m trying to think of some other places to go so I can use her again. Even my elderly neighbor loved her because she took the time to talk with him.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was eight years old, starting with neighborhood and family pets. What began as “dog watch” while neighbors were away quickly turned into a true love for pet care. Families trusted me to supervise playtime, keep their dogs safe, and make sure they felt comfortable and happy while away from home. I’ve had dogs of my own since I was eleven, including an energetic Australian Shepherd, an English Cream Golden Retriever, and a Red Labrador Retriever. Through them, I’ve gained firsthand experience with high-energy, playful breeds as well as more relaxed personalities. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and activity levels whether they need long walks and stimulation or calm companionship. As an animal lover, caring for pets has always been second nature to me. I want to make sure your pet doesn't feel like they're being walked by a stranger, but by a friend. I'm currently studying business at Pace University in Lower Manhattan. I'm fully available Friday through Monday for walks or in-house care. I'm available in the afternoons from 3:15-5PM Tuesday-Thursday. Since I'm entering your home and your dog's space I want to keep the routine they have as best I can. I carefully follow all feeding schedules, portion instructions, and preferred walk times. I make sure your pet gets plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention. I’m very respectful of your home and treat it like I would want mine to be treated. I keep food and water areas clean, wipe paws after walks if needed, and make sure everything is secure before leaving. I can also send regular updates and photos so you feel comfortable knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. Most importantly, I don't want your pet to feel like they are with a stranger, but with someone they trust!
