House Sitting in Topsfield

“Sophia was great! From first contact she was very responsive and easy to schedule with and continued to be very communicative. She sent daily updates and photos and it was clear that my kitties were very happy and comfortable with her. One of my cats is particularly shy, so when I received photos of him head butting her on day 2, I was really able to relax :). We arrived home to a clean home and 2 kitties who were very happy to see us and were clearly loved and well taken care of while we were gone!”

“Henry was a perfect fit for my two little dogs and cat! He made sure to ask about any instructions, sent photographs to reassure they were being cared for, and managed to befriend two nervous pups quite quickly!!”

“Jacklyn was amazing! I was very nervous that my dog would be scared, and Jak put me at ease with great communication and videos. She was able to get my shy dog to warm up to her, through cuddles, frequent play sessions, and time outside. She definitely knows how to work with animals and I would recommend her!”

Claire S.

“Another wonderful experience with Vanessa. My dog, who is very shy around people, absolutely loves her. She is highly dependable and left my house in perfect condition.”

Sara M.

“Jesse took great care of Millie while we were gone and left our home in perfect condition. Couldn't be happier with the communication and photos. Would def work with Jesse again!”

“I am very pleased to recommend Lauren as a house pet sitter. She provided excellent daily communication and shared delightful pet updates with photos, which truly put my mind at ease. Lauren was respectful of our home and followed all the pet care instructions we provided. Her sweet demeanor made her a joy to work with, and it's clear that our pets were well cared for during her stay. I highly recommend her for your house pet sitting needs!”

Elana S.

“We couldn’t say enough great things about Matt! He was beyond awesome. Not only did he take great care of our pups, communicate every step of the way but he also helped do some odds and ends around the house. We would highly recommend using Matt for your pup needs!”

Chandler F.

“Tom did a great job with our dogs. Our youngest pup can be tricky at times and he warmed right up to Tom. He took great care of both dogs and our home.”

“Victoria was the best house/pet sitter I’ve had in ages! She was very communicative and did a meet and greet leading up to the booking. She sent pictures daily and kept me updated on my pets. She took wonderful care of my senior cat and made sure my pup had an outdoor adventure each day. Highly recommend her to anyone looking and will surely use her again!”

About: I worked at the Ipswich Animal Shelter for 6 years and have extensive experience caring for animals of all ages. I’ve always owned cats, from kittens to seniors, and am very comfortable caring for cats of all ages and temperaments! I’ve also lived with dogs throughout my life and have cared for friends’ and relatives’ pets while they were away. My experience includes walking, feeding, bathing, and administering medications for both dogs and cats when needed. I’m a huge animal lover and treat every pet like they’re my own. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently have open availability Monday through Friday, which gives me the flexibility to prioritize pet care throughout the week, including walks, visits, and in-home sitting. I’m also able to accommodate weekends when needed with advanced notice. I always care for pets as if they were my own and consistently follow their established routines as closely as possible! In a client’s home, I make sure feeding, walks, litter boxes, playtime, and any medications are handled on schedule, while also keeping their environment clean, calm, and comfortable. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs, whether that means giving dogs plenty of exercise and enrichment or providing cats with patience, quiet time, and space to adjust at their own pace. I also prioritize communication with pet parents and provide updates so they feel confident their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while they’re away.

“We are so fortunate to have found Kadence.She has a calm,soft demeanor and was unfazed by my fearful Chihuahua barking at her.Once Finn realized that I was leaving he jumped onto her lap and watched me go.That never happens.Kadence sent pictures that assured me that Finn was laying calmly with her.It was a huge relief for me to be able to spend Thanksgiving with my family knowing that Finn was in good hands.Kadence is professional and was here when she said she would be.I highly recommend her.I’ve already booked her,again,for a weekend.”

“Took superb care of the dog and the house. Was a fabulous communicator. We’d book her again in a heartbeat. In fact we already have.”

“Liz is the best! She was available on short notice to housesit my two doggies. From the initial meet and greet I knew Liz was great. You can just tell if someone knows dogs and loves them. Throughout the trip, she was highly responsive and forward with any updates. Honestly, I’m so glad I found Liz. I will use her for all bookings going forward and I will highly recommend her to anybody. And know that I am not a bot or a pre-populated review. I am a real person who needed a dog sitter from a Memorial Day holiday weekend and Liz came through! I am grateful to her.”

About: I’ve been around dogs since I can remember. My first dog was a German Shepherd when I was 4, 12, and 16. My friends and family have exposed me to a wide variety of dogs. I am always the first in the room to attract a dog and the last to leave its side. Small or big, I know how to leave your dog with a new human friend, happy and tired. I'm more than comfortable checking in and house-sitting with all types of dogs whether it’s a couch companion or a playful friend. I know with my German Shepherd it's always go, go, go so when he sits and naps it's a break for me too. I'm comfortable walking dogs that are leash-trained and dog friendly of all sizes. I just graduated college so I’m spending some time at home for the summer meaning I’m pretty much free whenever outside of committed plans. I’m pretty flexible so feel free to message me to figure a time and day out! I know it's difficult to open your home to a stranger, so I'm more than willing to meet or talk on the phone before you trust me with your pet! To ensure the safety of your dog, I need to know of any behavioral or medical issues. Depending on the issue, we can decide if I'm the best match for you and your dog. I know the basic do and donts, red flags, and really good at communication. I’m always patient, loving, and responsible! I understand there may be specific needs, wants, and asks so I’m all ears.

“Teri did a great job as a home-stay care taker of our furry friend, Ashe. She made sure our boy ate well and had the companionship that he needs. She sent photos and updates daily as requested. The house was neat and tidy when we returned as well. Thank you Teri. We will be rebooking for another trip.”

“With her calm demeanor, Liz understands how to deal with reactive dogs and approached ours with care, patience and empathy. Over the course of 1 week she dealt well with managing our two dogs, one of whom is very reactive and has specific needs. She consistently administered medication and maintained a consistent schedule and both our dogs seemed happy to share their home with her. She also went above and beyond by washing our bedding so we didn't have to do laundry upon our return. Thanks Liz!”

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!

“Sarah is an attentive and caring sitter. She treated my home as her own and was so careful with my senior citizen and my little troublemaker. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Sarah again!”

Deva D.

“Kara did a very nice job sitting for our two dogs at our house. Dogs were well taken care of, and the house was in perfect shape on our return. We will definitely use Kara again. Bob”

“Leah is an amazing sitter! She took wonderful care of our dog, kept us updated, and went above and beyond. We came home to a very happy pup. Highly recommend and will definitely rebook!”
