“Crystal did a wonderful job taking care of our two Australian shepherds, Aspen and Mordi. The boys were pooped by the time they got back and seemed like they had an absolute blast. Our one boy has epilepsy and needed to be pilled during their stay which occured flawlessly. We come to the area yearly and will be using Crystal again!”

“Liza demonstrates her experience and professionalism throughout this process, thus reassuring me that I was leaving my dog, Wrigley, in good hands. Liza responds quickly and is very accommodating. It is a great fit for Wrigley, who needs someone to regularly watch her and who can ease her separation anxiety while I am at work. 100% would recommend!”
About: Hi! I’m Kelsey—new to Gloucester and excited to connect with the community 😊 I previously ran a dog walking business in Providence, RI and have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’m happy to provide references! I offer dependable, loving dog walking and in-home sitting with a unique perk—direct beach access right on Wingaersheek Road near Coffins Beach 🌊🐾 Your dog will enjoy: • Daily beach walks with plenty of space to run and play • Fetch time (ball or frisbee!) • Optional swimming for water-loving pups • Fresh air, exercise, and a calm, cozy home environment I treat every dog like my own and always send updates/photos so you feel at ease while you’re away. I also have two cats at home, so dogs should be comfortable around cats. I’d love to chat and see if it’s a great fit for you and your pup! I maintain an active, consistent daily routine and plan my schedule around the dogs in my care. I’m typically out for a Pilates class from 8:45–9:45am, and occasionally run a quick errand afterward—but I’m happy to bring dogs along for pet-friendly outings like local farm stands or errands when appropriate. I’m available for walks late morning, mid-day, and again in the afternoon/evening after the gym. My schedule allows for multiple walks, playtime, and lots of attention throughout the day, and I always prioritize the needs and routine of each individual dog. I provide a safe, calm, and loving home environment where dogs are treated like family. I’m very attentive to each dog’s needs, energy level, and routine, and I always prioritize their comfort and safety. Dogs in my care get plenty of exercise, whether that’s structured walks, beach time, or play, along with downtime to relax in a cozy setting. I’m experienced with a range of temperaments and can adjust to puppies, active dogs, or more relaxed/senior dogs. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions (feeding schedules, medications, crate use if needed), and I always provide regular updates and photos so you feel confident your dog is in great hands. I do have two cats at home, so dogs should be comfortable around cats.

About: I have been taking care of dogs for approximately 4 years; most recently having gained experience with energetic, adorable puppies having welcomed Prince into our home.

They will be cared for and loved like my own. Any specific needs they have will be met

“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!”
“Rose has been great for us and more importantly for Roy this week. She has a great location that allows for plenty of outdoor activity and has a friendly dog of her own that loves to play. This was perfect for our Doberman puppy. Highly recommended”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover who understands how important it is to have trusted care for your furry family members! I currently share my home with a 9-year-old coonhound who loves meeting new friends. We live in a single-family home with an unfenced yard, so while supervised playtime is always fun, I don’t offer unsupervised yard access. Whether it’s walks, cuddles, or extra TLC, your pup will be treated like part of our pack! I work full time from home, so your pup will have plenty of company and attention during the day. A typical day includes 2x/day 30-min walks with pee and play breaks throughout. Communication is key, and I will work with you to understand your dogs needs and preferences to ensure a safe and successful visit. As I work from home, your dog will be able to roam throughout the house which is located in a quiet suburban neighborhood.
“Jennifer was amazing. She was so kind, took such care of my girl, and kept me updated with photos. We came from out of town, and it was so freeing to be able to explore Salem and know that my girl was being cared for so well. She also gave great local tips on shops to visit and places to eat. I wish I had Jennifer in every state we visit.”

“Sheila is great! She took care of my two dogs this evening and made them feel comfortable. One of my dogs has a severe anxiety disorder so taking him for a walk is no easy feat.

About: We are a dog/cat family who welcomes all dogs who are good with children, other pets, and our 3-year-old rescue girl Luna! She is a love and would really like to make some friends.

About: I can take your dog on a short walk or can take your dog on longer walks such as hiking or going to the beach where they will get lots of exercise and/or socialization if needed. You won’t have to worry if your furry companion is lonely or bored when they are in my care! I love getting to know each individual dog and will cater to their specific needs. I have previous experience house sitting, dog walking, and making drop-in visits from my own business I started. I have a B.S. in Equine Studies, which has given me knowledge of basic small and large animal health, nutrition, diseases, and care. I have my own 2 year old Lab mix named Rory so dealing with puppies or energetic dogs is no problem for me! I can also provide longer visits at the home for those families who are away long periods of time during the day and want their furry friends to have a few hours of socialization. I offer this at a specialized rate, for about 2-3 hours at a time.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and can’t remember a time when there wasn’t a four‑legged best friend in the house. Growing up with dogs taught me the foundations of great pet care: patience, consistency, and plenty of affection. Today, I’m a proud dog dad to my pup, Ghost. He’s energetic, loyal, and always ready for an adventure. Caring for him has deepened my understanding of canine behavior and reinforced the importance of meeting each dog’s unique needs—whether that’s long walks, playtime, structure, or just a calm presence. I’m also a big cat lover! I’ve always had a soft spot for cats and genuinely enjoy their personalities—from the playful and curious to the calm and cuddly. Whether your pet is a dog, a cat, or both, I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for as if they were my own. I have a full time job in Higher Ed I work from 8:30 am to 4:30 PM Mon-Fri. I can work around those hours. I also have an hour for lunch which I can use for additional walks I live by a lake so if your dog loves the water they will get plenty of that! I also have lots of walking trails nearby.
About: I have had multiple dogs my whole life and have watched neighbors' dogs for a decade. I love animals and will care for them deeply. I am a college athlete so I work out during the summer a lot but on my own time. I have a flexible schedule and can watch weekends. I have a fenced yard. It is a big yard with grass areas to play in and I also have a big front yard. The neighbors have horses, cats, and dogs so it is an animal-friendly environment.
About: Since I was a small child, I have had numerous family dogs and otherwise, all of which have helped me develop a deep understanding of love, care, and joy. Each dog I meet leaves a mark on me, and I truly value that. Recently, I left my career in Civil Engineering to pursue my love for dogs and all animals - which has brought me to my most recent job and passion of working at a kennel. I only wish to continue this new journey by helping/assisting/caring for even more animals, which brings me to Rover! I am currently working part-time (25-35 hours per week) at a kennel. I have 3-4 spare days each week - in which I hope to incorporate extra care work into my schedule, which brings me to Rover. I am comfortable with both on leash and off leash care, and am comfortable with all sizes of dogs. In my home, my dog has always been the priority in my day to day. Ensuring good health, a positive atmosphere, and the ability to show them/allow them to live their life to the fullest. I value safety incredibly, and I am confident in my abilities to build trust with any and all dogs - given the necessary time and comfortability.
About: I’ve been a dog owner and caretaker since I was 10 years old and have lived with dogs in multiple places across the U.S. I’ve had experience with a wide range of breeds and sizes—from my first dog, Cody the Shiba Inu, to my current dog Reese, a Lab/Plott Hound mix—so no size, energy level, or personality makes me nervous. I genuinely think every dog is just as lovable as the next. My dog Reese is now 13 years old, and caring for her as she’s aged has given me extensive experience with senior dogs. I’m comfortable administering oral medications, assisting dogs up and down stairs, and adjusting care routines to match a dog’s mobility and comfort needs. I’m patient, attentive, and very detail-oriented when it comes to following an owner’s instructions. I recently graduated from the University of New Hampshire and commissioned into the U.S. Army as an officer. Before heading to training, I have approximately nine months where my schedule is very flexible and dependable. I currently work with a transportation company for about 1–2 weeks each month, but outside of that my availability is wide open. I’m able to accommodate regular walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting, and I enjoy filling my time caring for pets and helping owners feel at ease while they’re away. Because my schedule is consistent and planned well in advance, I’m reliable, punctual, and easy to communicate with. I’m happy to discuss recurring care, extended stays, or last-minute needs whenever possible. Arrival Before your trip, I like to learn as much as possible about your pet’s routine, preferences, and any special care needs. This can be shared however you prefer—through a message, a note left at home, or during a meet and greet. As long as I have clear instructions, I’m confident stepping in and keeping your pet comfortable. If you’re not home when I arrive, I’m happy to use whatever access method you prefer, whether that’s a door code, lockbox, or key. ⸻ During My Stay When staying in a client’s home, my priority is to keep everything feeling familiar and low-stress for your pet. I follow their regular routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and bedtime habits. I have lifelong experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including senior pets. I’m comfortable administering oral medications, adjusting activity levels, and providing extra patience and care when needed. Whether your pet is energetic or more relaxed, I tailor my care to match their personality and needs. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, companionship, and affection while also respecting their space. I’m attentive to safety at all times and aim to create a calm, positive environment while you’re away. I’m also happy to send updates and photos as often as you’d like—once a day, multiple times a day, or just check-ins when requested. I adjust communication to whatever makes you most comfortable. ⸻ Departure Before you return, I make sure your home is left exactly as you left it. This includes tidying up any areas I used, washing dishes if needed, and ensuring everything is clean and orderly. If requested, I’m also happy to water plants, collect mail or packages, and leave everything neatly in one place. After I leave, I can send a final update with photos and a quick summary so you feel fully informed and reassured. ⸻ Final Note At the end of the day, my goal is to keep your pet happy, comfortable, and as stress-free as possible while you’re away. I take this responsibility seriously and treat both your pet and your home with care and respect.
About: I am experienced in a wide range of animals ranging from cats and dogs to reptiles, fish and rodents. I live in a home with two huskies, two cats, two snakes and tend to multiple fish tanks in my home. I also have pet sit for a number of years in a home with 4 small dogs, one cat and two chinchillas! I also would like to note that one of the 4 dogs is handicapped and uses a wheelchair so i am familiar with handicapped pets and would be willing to learn and adapt my care however they may need. I am working part time but my hours are flexible so i am able to pet sit generally any time of the week and would be happy to discuss what times work best for you! My dogs at home have an electric fence and go out whenever they would like but also get walks in and i would be happy to take your pet on a walk. The other family i pet sit for has a fenced in yard so their dogs can also go out as they please.

“Kathy did a great job caring for my two dogs, one of whom has behavioral issues, the other being a cool cucumber but it was his first boarding experience. She kept me posted on their activities and provided them with a great environment where they could chill and, more importantly, play.”
“Myleigh did an excellent job with Mollie! She came home quite happy and in great shape! Even had had a bath! I got a great picture of her while away which made me feel great! Highly recommend!”
“Lindsay is very welcoming and kind. She is experienced caring for dogs and even fosters dogs who need temporary homes. She sent updates and pictures, and our dog returned home happy and healthy after a week in her care.”
About: I absolutely love dogs. I have cared for my own dog my whole life, and he is my world! I will care for yours the same way! I am a student and have plenty of time on weekends and between classes to care for and walk the pups! I love walks too! I will cater to whatever specific needs or requests you have. My schedule is very flexible as well so just let me know what you need and I can help you!
About: Hi! My names Jaden and I have a puppy named Medusa! I trained her myself and she’s very well behaved and loves people and dogs! I have years of experience will all sorts of pets such as dogs/puppies, fish/corals, and even some experience with cats, though admittedly, not as much. I’m a plant collector too so I can also help care for those, if needed ☺️ I’m currently working a full time job, so pet care will most often be scheduled for before and after my shifts, but also on my days off! I have a crate trained my puppy in our apartment. we have a small fenced patio perfect for getting a little fresh air without worrying about escape!
“David and his family did a great job of taking care of our senior dog! He settled in soon and seemed very comfortable around them. We would be very happy to have them as our sitter again.”
“Phydeau stayed for two nights. He’s old and had much medical care involved in his stay including pills and ear care which was all attended to so well. He came home happy and well cared for. He loves going to Michael’s!”
“Fae and Joe hosted our giant dog at their house for almost a month. They took very good care and our dog loves them! We received daily photos and videos with little notes on how it was going. Gave us great peace of mind that our dog was like a member of their family. Our pup came home looking happy and healthy. They even packed a small parting gift. Hard to find such great caretakers! Thank you!”
“Lisa knows a lot about dogs and I felt very comfortable leaving my dog Lizzie with her. Lisa has a dog that was similar in size to my dog and they got along great, was like having a playmate for my dog while she was being taken care of. When I picked her up while she was happy to see me she still looked happy being at Lisa's and playing with her dog. Will use her again.”
“Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! She was extremely communicative and sent lots of photos and videos, which I really appreciated. I had to book last minute due to a family emergency, and she completely put my mind at ease. Lily was so well cared for and happy when I returned. I would absolutely book with her again!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs for approximately 4 years; most recently having gained experience with energetic, adorable puppies having welcomed Prince into our home. He has brought so much joy to me and my three boys! I currently work from home and am awake by 6 AM with my puppy. I have an office set up with toys, beds and crates. We take frequent potty, play breaks and walks. I have a fenced in back yard where the dogs can play if desired. I have a fenced in yard and downstairs area of my home that have been dog proofed. I have crates for smaller and larger sized dogs and have crate trained my own fur baby who loves to have company.
“Thank you for minding Theo in our absence! Great videos, excellent response time to my messages. Exceptionally knowledgeable about dog behavior! Lovely family, great back yard and lots of walks. Happy, tired guy. Thank you!”
“Lorraine and her family were absolutely amazing with both Grace and Athena. They loved our dogs like they were part of their family. Lorraine is a very prompt communicator and provided lots of cute pictures and videos. I would 100% recommend her and hope she is available to look after our girls the next time we go on vacation.”
“I think my dog likes Liz more than me! He was happy to see me again and to come home, but if he could have, he would have moved her and her place in next door to us. Liz is gentle, picks up on important cues from the dogs, is thorough and just great. There was a complication in our premade arrangements with another sitter the night before we were scheduled to fly out of the country that could have ruined our 2 week honeymoon in Japan. Liz really stepped up for Rover and for us. She’s the very best.”
About: Hi there! My name is Sam and I am a dog lover looking for more dogs to love on. My husband Eric and I have a very sleepy Pyrenees who we are always looking to introduce to more friends! I love getting to hang with all types of dogs whether it’s walking, playing, or having them stay with us. I’ve cared for elderly dogs, puppies, and everything in between for the last 10 years. Can’t wait to meet you soon! Since covid, I am work from home most of the day and would love an extra furry friend or two to get me out of the house. Because I am work from home, I’m very flexible on walks, day cares, and much more! I love going to the dog parks around town and would be more than happy to take your baby there as well. We have a large fenced in yard to keep your fur baby busy. Not the athletic type? Great! We have a big couch and lots of comfy spots for them to laze around in.
“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!”
“Nala was so obviously loved and well cared for when she spent time with Natasha and Johnathan. I was updated daily and they demonstrated care and understanding of her personality and needs. I had no worries about her while I was away!”
