“I am so grateful to have found Kathy!! I was looking for an alternative to leaving my dog at a typical kennel/dog boarding business, and have started using Kathy’s services, and could not be happier! She clearly loves dogs and has tons of experience working with them. I appreciate her gentle approach of getting the dog acclimated and her communication before and during the stay was wonderful! I can now leave for vacations with my mind at ease, knowing my dog is being well cared for!”
“Mike was really kind and communicative, he made sure to check in with us throughout our trip. It was nice knowing that ruckus was being cared for as if he was one of theirs!”
“What a wonderful visit my Timmy had with Donna! It was his first visit with her and there will be plenty more to come. She is a very caring, loving woman who goes out of her way to make sure her visitors are comfortable, happy and safe!”
“Sylwia and Doug were beyond great. We felt so at ease our entire trip knowing he was being looked after by them. Our dog can be a little anxious at first, and Sylwia picked right up on that and helped him feel comfortable. We loved the daily pictures, and will use them again in the future! Highly recommend.”
“Absolutely amazing experience! Left my boy for 10 days and he couldn’t have been in a better care! She kept us updated throughout the whole stay and made sure to send daily pictures. It made me feel better knowing that he was getting so much attention and love! Will be using Felicia every time we need help!”
“This was our first time leaving our dog with Bob. And it was the first time that our dog did not look stressed when I dropped her off and left! I was amazed. Maisie just seemed to know that he was caring and confident and she was in good hands. I think she very much liked playing with his own dogs since she is the only dog in our home. Bob clearly loves animals and was also sensitive to Maisie's needs. Maisie is a lap dog and Bob and his wife allowed her to snuggle up to them for reassurance. Bob is a personable individual and easy to talk. I would highly recommend him to anyone!”
“This was the first time I've had to use a dog sitter outside of my family/friend group, and I felt super comfortable leaving my small dog with Denise. She provided updates and took very good care of my baby. Would totally go with her again.”
“I'm delighted to share my experience with Mercis, who truly went above and beyond to ensure Sherlock felt at home. From multiple walks, playtime, and genuine care made all the difference. Thanks to the extraordinary effort and exceptional care… our dog returned happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. Highly recommend!”
About: Have raised two labs, so can handle all age spans. Recently have done senior care for my own dog, who passed at the age of 16.5. I am passionate and have a basic understanding in animal nutrition. I believe that the love and care your pour into in animal is what you get back in return. Im currently a stay at home mom to three loving girls, 10, 12, 14. I deeply love animals and have felt the emptiness of losing our lab in September. I would love an opportunity to love on your pet! I have a small unfenced yard currently, but live on a quiet street with an Amazing park at the end of the street, that is shaded and has many trees for sniffing. I am planning on being around most of the summer and can accommodate, walking, sleeping and cuddling needs. I currently have no pets in myhouse, so your pet will get the utmost attention. I will not only love, but can provide very focused and physical care. I can be as athletic as the pet needs t to be or as chill as the pet demands. I just want to make your pet feel loved and comfortable. If its just a walking service needed i can do that to, I am a runner and love being outdoors so can run or walk your pet wherever they might want to go.
“Michael was very communicative the whole time, and our Caju had a great time at his house! He was well taken care of and came back happy and tired :) I’ll definitely do it again when needed!”
“Kristen was amazing, she gave me daily updates on my fur baby. Galaxy felt very comfortable in thier home and I will 100% reccommend their services. Grateful to find a local family that truely cares about dogs and thier well being.”
“Rose was great with Gizmo! She sent me lots of pictures and updates and you can tell she takes care of each dog depending on their personality/preferences. He had a great time boarding there.”
“Caitlin took great care of Enzo and Bella. An added bonus were her grandparents, who live with her and were added support for the puppies. They were so sweet and attentive, giving lots of lap time and walks. When we picked them up, the pups were happy and healthy. 😍 Thank you all!”
“Bentley had a great stay with Shelby & her family. I received updates with pictures & he was very comfortable at her home!! I would highly recommend Shelby & will use her for any future needs I may have for boarding :)”
“Daniela and her family were great sitters. Lots of communication including videos and pics, which we loved. They were also patient and generous with our (often) rambunctious puppy. Highly recommend.”
“Felicia was absolutely incredible with Luna. She took her on so many great walks. Sent pics of Luna snuggled up on her couch. Luna came back so happy but wiped after the couple of busy and active days with Felicia. Luna is already looking forward to her next stay! Would highly recommend Felicia - she was so awesome, highly communicative and took amazing care of Luna🐾”
“This was our first long term boarding with Julie S. and it could not have gone better. Julie and her family were so attentive and loving towards Benji. The daily reports and pictures were very reassuring. There’s nothing more welcome than feeling like your pet is in good hands while you’re away.”
“My dog Hank had the most amazing time with Lindsay and her family. She is extremely communicative, caring, and loving. 1000% recommend her and we will be bask.”
“Laura is excellent with our dog, who always comes home nice and tired. She is prompt and clear communicating about bookings, and very flexible with pick up and drop off times. She is definitely our go-to for dog sitting while we're away.”

About: If you’re looking for someone who is responsible, reliable, and a clear communicator, I’m your gal! I grew up with lots of critters in the house and have especially loved cats since I was a kid! My current fur-babies include a feisty 3 year old siamese and a sweet little tabby boy who just turned one. I love animals and am excited to meet some new kitty friends! I have experience with kittens as well as older cats. I’m happy to take care of feeding and watering, cleaning up messes, scooping the litter box, handling medication and giving lots of cuddles and chin scritches! 💖 I will gladly send you photo and video updates of your sweet kitty with a detailed description of my visit. It’s my number one priority that you have peace of mind every time I drop in! A little about me: I own my own business and work from home so my schedule is very flexible. I’m willing to consider boarding/overnight housesitting for repeat clients upon request! I’m available for drop-ins from 8am-7pm Monday-Friday (weekends available upon request). If you need me to stop by outside my availability I can usually make it work, just ask! I’d love to know more about what makes your cat happy, their favorite toys, treats, and any quirks that make them unique (for example: things that stress them out, food serving preferences, or common hiding spots). Please share if they’re on any meds or need special treatment so I can prepare in advance. I look forward to connecting with you!
“Karen was so wonderful with our beloved kitties! I can tell from the photos that they really loved her. It is such a good feeling when you’re so far away to know that your pets are being cared for by a kind, responsible, and engaged animal lover. We feel very fortunate to have met Karen and look forward to a continued relationship with her! ?”
“Samantha was so flexible and responsive, and took great care of our older cat! The cat even came out to see her, which almost never happens with strangers. She must be a natural! We’d be happy to have her take care of our animals any time.”
“Hannah is awesome. Flexible, consistent, great with the pets. She is great at communicating and filling us in on how everyone is doing when we are on trips, and leaves you with a peace of mind that is invaluable when you are away. We will continue using her for both our dog and cat needs,”
“Awesome sitter! Loved how the check-ins were consistent everyday around the same time. From the pictures I could tell my babies were happy and enjoyed visits from Robyn. Everything was done as asked. I would highly recommend”
“Great job with my elderly cats that need a little more TLC than in their younger days. Adele was prompt for all of her pet sitting times and made sure to send pictures to update me on them each visit. She fed them and gave them medication as needed and. I will have her watch my cats again next time I’m away!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting on and off for the past 10 years. I love not only doing the regular tasks but spending actual time with them playing with toys and teaching them new games! I am a college student at American University and I am home in Newburyport for the summer. I have lots of availability and am always open to moving things around to fit better into your schedule. I am very active so I love to go out on multiple walks a day which I can bring pets on. I have a big yard that dogs can go out and play in and my neighbours have 2 very kind dogs to keep them socialising!
“Stephanie took care of my three beloved cats, one of which is diabetic. There was a LOT to do with three of them! She took EXCELLENT care of them and showed up twice every day at the same time, prepared their food in a particular way, refilled their water fountain, gave them a certain amount of treats, and took care of their litter box perfectly. She even cleaned up a few messes they created which was above and beyond her responsibilities! Most importantly, she gave my diabetic cat her insulin shot twice a day. She really helped me enjoy my vacation because I didn't worry about them being in her care. I will be entrusting her to sit for them again going forward.”
About: cared for dogs my whole life, as the daughter of a former dog breeder I am comfortable around animals of many sizes. Overnights, walks, care! I am available to do weekly or daily walks during my lunch from 12-1 or 1-2pm, or after 5:30 & for overnight sitting in your home I will be sure to get a clear understanding of you and your pet whether it is for a daily walk or overnight, good communication!

“Mac had a wonderful day with Robert and his pups. He had never been to a dog sitter before so we were a bit anxious about leaving him. We had a meet and greet before the day visit and when Mac got to Bob’s house on the day of the visit, Mac remembered that it was a place with people that he liked. Bob’s updates through the day made us rest easy that Mac was being well cared for. We loved the report card and pictures that we got at the end of the visit. We look forward to our next booking with Bob.”

“Julie and her family have been taking amazing care of Luca a few days a week for me while I adjust to a new work schedule. They really love him and treat him like their own. I love seeing pictures from their outings and walks! Luca is always excited to see them when I drop him off! As a new puppy mom I was nervous to leave him with anyone but Julie and her family made me feel so at ease. Would 10/10 recommend their services!”
“Kristen and Bobby were great! They were quick to respond and when I left my dog with them I immedietly felt like he was in good hands. You can tell they are dog lovers! They sent updates throughout the day and were patient and understanding of my dog as he got used to being at a new spot.”

About: Dogs, and Cats aren’t just pets in my home—they’re family! My twin brother and I have had dogs our whole lives, and we’re absolutely obsessed with them. In our house, your pup will be surrounded by love, care, and constant attention. Since most of my classes are online, my brother works night shifts, and my husband works during the day, there’s always someone home to make sure your furry friend is safe, happy, and cared for 24/7. I feel so lucky to have their support because, let’s be real—life loves to throw surprises our way! But no matter what, your pup will always be in good hands. And if you ask my family, they’d say they’re totally jealous because I get to spend the most time with the doggies! 🐾💖 From fun walks to cozy snuggles, I make sure every dog feels right at home while their humans are away. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby and give them all the love they deserve! Having transitioned from a career in law to pursuing my passion in nursing school, I now have a flexible schedule with most of my classes being remote. This allows me ample time to dedicate to your pups, ensuring they receive plenty of play and care. I’m available for dog boarding on both weekends and weekdays, providing a reliable and loving environment for your furry friends while you’re away. Ensuring the safety and well-being of your pet is my top priority. Whether in your home or mine, I provide a secure and nurturing environment tailored to your pet’s needs: Safety First: I make sure that your home is pet-proofed, eliminating any hazards. For outdoor activities, I use secure leashes and ensure that gates and fences are properly closed. Personalized Care: I follow your specific instructions for diet, exercise, and routines to ensure a consistent and comfortable experience. Regular updates are provided, and I am always available to address any concerns. Trustworthy Environment: At my home, your pet will be welcomed into a warm and loving space. My sweet and playful Bernedoodle, Sophie, is friendly and makes a great companion. If your dog prefers not to be around other dogs, we have the flexibility to have Sophie accompany my husband to work, ensuring your pet has a quiet and undisturbed environment. Emergency Preparedness: I am trained in basic pet first aid and have a plan in place for any unexpected situations, prioritizing your pet's health and safe. With my experience and dedication, along with Sophie’s friendly nature, you can trust that your pet will receive the highest level of care and affection while you’re away.
“Our pups had an awesome day with Carolyn! They came home happy and, most importantly, tired from a day of activity. We felt very safe and secure leaving our dogs with Carolyn and we look forward to having her care for them again next time we're in the area.”
“Elizabeth was outstanding. She has a genuine love for animals . My dog took instantly to her warm and friendly personality. She has a beautiful fenced in yard for the dogs to run freely. We felt very comfortable keaving our dog with Elizabeth.”
About: I’m a licensed veterinarian in Brazil and I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life. My father is a huge dog lover, so I grew up helping care for our family pets from a very young age. In Brazil, I had four dogs who are now happily living with my parents. Here in the U.S., I have my sweet mini Goldendoodle, Madalena, who is very friendly and loves having company. Because of my background in Veterinary Medicine and my lifelong experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities, I feel very confident providing safe, responsible, and attentive care. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I work at a coffee shop from 6:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. After 3:30 p.m., I’m fully available for pet care, including walks, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting. On Sundays and Mondays, I’m off from work and available all day for boarding, daycare, and other services. Your dog’s safety and comfort always come first. I offer a calm, clean, and cozy home environment where pets can relax, play, and feel secure. My mini Goldendoodle, Madalena, is very friendly and gentle, which helps visiting dogs feel more comfortable and welcomed. Whether your pet stays in my home or I care for them in yours, I always follow their routine exactly as instructed—feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and rest. I’m very attentive to body language and behavior to make sure each dog feels safe, respected, and stress-free. I provide constant supervision when I’m home, lots of love and positive interaction, and a peaceful space where dogs can settle in comfortably. My goal is to make every pet feel like part of the family.

“Ellie was so great! Communicative and my pup adored her! She came for some mid-day walks and improvised with playtime after a quick potty break when the weather wasn’t cooperating (my dog does NOT like the rain). I highly recommend booking with Ellie!”
“Janine always takes such good care of my crazy rescue dog. He doesn’t always like people but he absolutely LOVES Janine and gets so excited when he knows she’s coming.”
“Super responsive. Was able to help out with a last minute request. New to Rover and they walked me through the steps. On time and Maisel seemed happy!”
“Meaghan was such a big help and I’ll definitely be requesting her again! She sent plenty of photos from the walk and refilled my dog’s bowl without me even asking. I definitely recommend her!”
“Nikki was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond caring for my dog Enzo—even bringing him homemade treats. He usually takes a long time to warm up to new sitters, but he bonded with Nikki right away. She's always on time and was great at communicating throughout, including providing great photos from each visit. I highly recommend booking her!”

“Maggie was great! Sent a message when she got here. Took Dorothy on a nice walk. Let me know when she dropped her off. And took pics of Dorothy on the walk. Will be contacting her again!”
About: I grew up with cats and medium and large dogs (along with other smaller critters), regularly took care of neighborhood dogs (overnight stays and walks), and I still take care of my parent’s 95 lb dog and cat when they’re out of town. I travel occasionally for work and personal reasons so haven’t yet committed to having my own pet (yet!). I love having a dog companion on my regular walks/hikes. I have a hybrid work arrangement where I’m part time in the office in Newburyport and part time at home in Amesbury. My schedule varies based on work/personal travel schedule and can be pretty flexible depending on the day when I’m at home. I’m happy to take dogs for walks near your home as needed (as short or as long of a walk as you’d like) and also happy to stay overnight to take care of pets.
About: Donna and I started taking care of dogs when we lost our Chesapeake Bay Retriever, Dutchin. We got her when she was 3 months old and she was our baby. When she crossed the Rainbow Bridge, we couldn't bring ourselves to get another dog, but wanted to still experience the joy that dogs bring to our lives. We decided to provide both care and a safe, loving home for other people's pets while their humans are away or otherwise unable to care for them short-term. This way, we can give you peace of mind in knowing your best friend is safe and happy, and we get to interact with all kinds of dogs, which gives us great joy! Your friend will get all the love and attention you give them; and, well, if we spoil them a bit too much, sorry (not sorry)! We are both retired, so we have plenty of time to care for your pets whether in our home or yours. We are available for walks, drop in visits and overnight boarding in our home. When boarding with us, your fur baby will never be alone as someone is always home. We have a large fenced-in yard where your dog can run and play off leash safely. Are your pets used to making themselves at home on the couch? Not a problem! They are more than welcome to snuggle up on ours. If you wish to make your pet a little more at home, you may bring your pet's bed, toys and/or crate.
About: I have had pets of all kinds my entire life, to which I have been trusted to take care of them. I have experience pet sitting for family and friends, though most of my pet experience has come from my personal pets. My dad is also a K9 officer and dog trainer, which has given me a lot of experience being around big dogs and seeing how to take care of dogs. I am currently on summer break from college, so I have a lot of time on my hands to spend with furry friends! I don’t have any significant schedule barriers at the moment! I can easily follow and meet any specific needs of your home or pets. I have experience caring for all kinds of pets, including those with special needs, so I can absolutely cater my care to any individual pet!
About: Excited to return to Rover! I've owned and surrounded myself with dogs (and other pets) my entire life and love it! My pups are my best friends and adventure buddies. Friends and family often call on me to help care for and train their canine friends or for advice because of my experience from working with various temperaments and behaviors. I also used to foster dogs and plan to return to that at some point. I love all breeds, ages, and sizes and find they all have unique personalities, just like people! I provide much love and attention, but know when to be a stern pack leader to keep everyone safe and in check! I use positive reinforcement and correction/redirection over discipline and I believe more exercise and encouragement can make most dogs a "good dog." Dogs tend to love me and are responsive to my leadership style. I currently work per diem and part-time so my schedule is often flexible and I love to fill my down time with furry friends I find the most critical care to be love, pats & praise, and structure & consistency. When it comes to others’ pets, I want to provide individualized care that is consistent with their daily life, so I try to incorporate owners’ standards and parenting styles. I recognize consistency is key to communicate with dogs and reduce their stress. Let me know how to accommodate you and your pet.
About: I care immensely for all animals. Especially playful cats. Have always owned cats. My mom recently passed and I’ve taken on her 2 beloved cats I am not working as I had to leave my job to care for my mom. I’m a young 64 yr old who is energetic I do whatever is expected of me depending on clients needs and instructions. Keep notes for pet owners. Meticulous. Honest kind fun to be around
About: Hi. My name is Caitlyn and I recently moved to Newburyport. I’m originally from Salem, Mass. I’ve lived on the Northshore all of my life. I adore all the beautiful dogs and cats around here and would love to help if anyone needs a walker/sitter. I have loved animals my entire life and since I was a child, I’ve had a couple of different dogs over the years and was always the primary caregiver to them. Currently, i have just one, my mini dachshund, Ms. Vada. I recently lost my beautiful 18 year old cat Tinkerbell who I have had since she was 6 months old. I miss her so much. I’m reliable, super empathetic, responsible, punctual, honest, and treat pets like humans! I’m kind, helpful, and funny too. I’m able to follow directions and will care for your pet just as you tell me to do. I assure your expectations will be met. If asked to board in your home, I will treat your property as if my own with the utmost respect and care. I will be sure to keep your pets comfortable in their space and care for any other requests you may have. I’ve worked in peoples homes before and have always had nothing but happy, grateful employers who trusted me. I would love the opportunity to help care for your pet, providing you with the reassurance that I truly do care with the utmost love 💕 and kindness ! I have references and am able to answer any questions you may have. I look forward to meeting your fur baby or fur babies! I’m currently available full time right now. I can help mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I’m responsible, reliable, and compassionate. I am working from home right now, therefore my schedule is very flexible at the time. I live in a complex type community and have a perfect little route I walk my dog within the property, however, she generally pulls the leash towards the beach and sometimes we go off our path and I follow her lead. (She’s spoiled!) I love going to the dog park, to the beach, or random trails on the Northshore where she can have a bit more freedom and run “free.” My dog is friendly and generally gets along with all other dogs. She’s a little love bug.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind as long as I can remember, whether that be my own dogs or dogs I’ve gained valuable experience with by helping my grandmother, a veterinarian, which taught me how to understand their behavior and care for them properly. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to be reliable and available for a variety of times, whether it’s early mornings, midday walks, or evenings. I’m dependable, attentive, and happy to adjust to different routines to make sure each dog gets the care, exercise, and attention they need! For dog walking, I focus on providing safe, reliable, and enjoyable walks that fit each dog’s needs and energy level. I make sure they get proper exercise, stay hydrated, and feel comfortable throughout the walk. I pay close attention to their behavior, surroundings, and safety at all times, including using secure leashes and avoiding hazards. I also follow any specific instructions from the owner, such as preferred routes, pace, or routines. After the walk, I ensure the dog is settled back comfortably and can provide updates if requested.
About: cared for dogs my whole life, as the daughter of a former dog breeder I am comfortable around animals of many sizes. Overnights, walks, care! I am available to do weekly or daily walks during my lunch from 12-1 or 1-2pm, or after 5:30 & for overnight sitting in your home I will be sure to get a clear understanding of you and your pet whether it is for a daily walk or overnight, good communication!

“Sylwia and Doug were beyond great. We felt so at ease our entire trip knowing he was being looked after by them. Our dog can be a little anxious at first, and Sylwia picked right up on that and helped him feel comfortable. We loved the daily pictures, and will use them again in the future! Highly recommend.”
“Absolutely amazing experience! Left my boy for 10 days and he couldn’t have been in a better care! She kept us updated throughout the whole stay and made sure to send daily pictures. It made me feel better knowing that he was getting so much attention and love! Will be using Felicia every time we need help!”
About: Have raised two labs, so can handle all age spans. Recently have done senior care for my own dog, who passed at the age of 16.5. I am passionate and have a basic understanding in animal nutrition. I believe that the love and care your pour into in animal is what you get back in return. Im currently a stay at home mom to three loving girls, 10, 12, 14. I deeply love animals and have felt the emptiness of losing our lab in September. I would love an opportunity to love on your pet! I have a small unfenced yard currently, but live on a quiet street with an Amazing park at the end of the street, that is shaded and has many trees for sniffing. I am planning on being around most of the summer and can accommodate, walking, sleeping and cuddling needs. I currently have no pets in myhouse, so your pet will get the utmost attention. I will not only love, but can provide very focused and physical care. I can be as athletic as the pet needs t to be or as chill as the pet demands. I just want to make your pet feel loved and comfortable. If its just a walking service needed i can do that to, I am a runner and love being outdoors so can run or walk your pet wherever they might want to go.
“Leyani was great, her kids loved our dog too. I would not hesitate to leave Brewster with their family in the future. She sent us daily pictures of our dog and we could tell he was happy and relaxed.They have a nice fenced yard and took Brewster to the dog park as well.”
“Michael was very communicative the whole time, and our Caju had a great time at his house! He was well taken care of and came back happy and tired :) I’ll definitely do it again when needed!”
“Kristen was amazing, she gave me daily updates on my fur baby. Galaxy felt very comfortable in thier home and I will 100% reccommend their services. Grateful to find a local family that truely cares about dogs and thier well being.”
“Rose was great with Gizmo! She sent me lots of pictures and updates and you can tell she takes care of each dog depending on their personality/preferences. He had a great time boarding there.”
“Caitlin took great care of Enzo and Bella. An added bonus were her grandparents, who live with her and were added support for the puppies. They were so sweet and attentive, giving lots of lap time and walks. When we picked them up, the pups were happy and healthy. 😍 Thank you all!”
“Bentley had a great stay with Shelby & her family. I received updates with pictures & he was very comfortable at her home!! I would highly recommend Shelby & will use her for any future needs I may have for boarding :)”
“Daniela and her family were great sitters. Lots of communication including videos and pics, which we loved. They were also patient and generous with our (often) rambunctious puppy. Highly recommend.”
“Krystyna and Sara were AMAZING. They took care of my 2 dogs for a long weekend when I had to go away for a family funeral. I was already anxious about leaving them with someone new and they went above and beyond. They sent pictures and messages throughout the day. One of my dogs was having a paw issue with his nail and they took care of him and all the needs that came along with it. I will be recommending them to everyone I know and will for sure book with them again!!”
“Felicia was absolutely incredible with Luna. She took her on so many great walks. Sent pics of Luna snuggled up on her couch. Luna came back so happy but wiped after the couple of busy and active days with Felicia. Luna is already looking forward to her next stay! Would highly recommend Felicia - she was so awesome, highly communicative and took amazing care of Luna🐾”
“Stacey was so accommodating and fantastic watching our dog Monty!!! She sent cute pictures through out his trip, and he came back tired because he had so much fun playing!! 110 percent would recommend her. She’s amazing!”
“My dog Hank had the most amazing time with Lindsay and her family. She is extremely communicative, caring, and loving. 1000% recommend her and we will be bask.”
“Laura is excellent with our dog, who always comes home nice and tired. She is prompt and clear communicating about bookings, and very flexible with pick up and drop off times. She is definitely our go-to for dog sitting while we're away.”
About: Hi there! I’ve been working with animals for many years and can honestly say it’s my greatest passion. I started out working under someone as a professional dog walker and pet sitter, then decided to branch out and build my own business about two years ago. I previously used Rover for a short time and loved it so I was excited to be back and meeting new clients again! I’ve also worked at a cat shelter when I was 14 which was my very first animal job and eventually at a veterinary clinic, gaining valuable hands-on experience. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets of all kinds: dogs, cats, bunnies, birds, reptiles, fish, and even chickens. I’m experienced in administering and injecting medications, as well as caring for senior pets and animals with special needs. I also have lots of puppy care experience. At home, I have a happy little crew — one dog, two cats (who are all best friends) and a group of fish! I’m certified in dog and cat CPR and first aid, so you can always feel confident your pets are in safe, loving hands. I make sure to send lots of photo updates so you can see how your pets are doing while you’re away. I’m a full time dog walker and petter sitter with a wonderful group of regular clients and I’m currently looking to add some more, especially new local dog walking clients! I walk several dogs throughout the week, but my schedule is flexible and I’m happy to work with you to find a time that fits both of our routines. I also offer drop-in visits and overnight stays on a first come-first serve basis, and I can reserve dates with enough notice! My calendar is always up to date, so you can easily see what days and time slots are still open. I’m available seven days a week, including weekends and select holidays. If you’re looking for a dependable, caring walker and sitter who truly loves what she does, feel free to reach out — I’d love to meet your pets! I prioritize safety, communication, and consistency. I follow feeding and medication instructions exactly, monitor behavior, and make sure pets stay active, comfortable, and stress-free. I always make sure to give them lots of attention too. I’m respectful of your home, tidy up after myself and the pets, and send detailed updates so you always know what’s going on.
