“Finn is the second dog we have boarded with Michael. He is still a puppy. He was very happy at Michael’s and kept all of his good habits that he has learned so far! Great home and family atmosphere, the best.”
“Lindsay was amazing. Our dog had a great time with Lindsay, her family and her dog Tilly, who happened to match our dog's size and energy level perfectly. Lindsay sent us multiple photos during our dog's stay. We could not recommend her more highly!”
“Our golden doodle loved his stay so much I think he was disappointed we didn’t stay away longer. Her golden retrievers gave him pals to chase around her shady backyard. We are thrilled with Sylvia and hope to use her again soon!”
“Laura took such great care of our dogs and was very kind to accommodate us on short notice! She truly “gets” dogs and her understanding of how to introduce dogs to one another insured that ours had a peaceful visit!”
“Donna and Rolland were amazing. They gave so much love and support to my furbaby Jazmyn while I was on a 10 day vacation! Not once did I worry or feel any stress while on my trip. I felt like Jazmyn was in the best hands and I was right! I highly recommend Donna and I will definitely be booking with her again. Also, Jazmyn loved her which made it that much better!💜🐾”
“Bowser seems to have had a wonderful time with Rebecca and her family! The photo updates were great to share with our kiddos so they could see he was having a nice vacation too 😊”
“Lucy feels right at home with Milo and Bob. It is such a joy to be able to go away and know she will get such good care -- to the point that she can relax and enjoy herself too! These folks are the best!!!”
“Julie took great care of Daisy for us while we went away on a trip over Thanksgiving. She kept us updated daily with photos and how she was doing. We would highly recommend Julie. She cared for Daisy exceptionally well :)”
“Mike did an excellent job watching over our dog and sending me updates while we were away on vacation. He made us feel very comfortable leaving a family member behind and not worrying about if they would be ok Highly recommend”
“Denise is wonderful! We highly recommend her services. She went above and beyond to make our two Havanese dogs comfortable in her home. She made their stay adventurous and truly magical, filled with activities as moonrise watching on the beach, so they are a bit bored with us at home and will be excited to stay at her house again. Ivana and Martin”
“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!”
“Jing and her family treated Lola like one of their own. She kept me up to date with daily photos and messages and I felt much reassurance that Lola was as comfortable as possible. I will definitely book with her again.”
“Felicia is great very happy to have access to a great dog sitter! This is the second time I’ve left Ashley with her, got great updates, could not ask for more! Will definitely use again if she’s a available!”
“Salish, did an amazing job keeping me updated during the 2 weeks JJ stayed with her. I always felt he was being well cared for while I was gone! I highly recommend her and her family!”
“Such a phenomenal first experience with Caty! Will definitely be booking with her again. She was super communicative and helpful. She would send me pictures and videos of Honey Bee everyday while on my vacation with small updates which i loved, it helped me feel close to her while i was far away. She treated my dog like her own and im so greatful for her care of my dog! Honey Bee also loved her and felt right at home with Caty and her family.”
“Yenny and her family where extremely amazing 🥰 my Winnie was happy being around them for being her first time spending the night out of her comfort 🩷🫶🏼 she did well I will definitely book again in near future with yenny. Definitely recommend her 💯”
“Paul, Megan and their sweet son were so good with my older dog -- I got the sense that they were excited and grateful for the opportunity to spend a week with Sadie! Great communication, good updates, Sadie didn't even want to leave. She got more attention from her sitters than she usually even gets at home! Happy to have a family that I can trust with my nervous dog going forward!”
“Our minidoodle Sam had a great stay with Charlotte and Jordan, and their dog Kyber. Two things we especially like: They generally just take one dog at a time (more attention, and Sam loves attention!), and they live near some great walking trails. Very nice people.”

“Leslie is an amazing pet sitter! My cat can be a little shy and he loves Leslie- she does a fantastic job! She is thorough with her visits and photographs everything.”
“Collette was fantastic! She was extremely conscientious and seemed to genuinely care for my crazy cat. She treated him like a king and took excellent care of him. Not only that, she was also exceptionally respectful of our home. Would hire her again in a heartbeat. Thanks Collette!”
“Michael provided excellent care for our two cats. He was consistent with twice daily drop-ins while we were away on a week- long trip. He gave updates with adorable pics of our babies after each visit and even spent some time playing with them! It gave us peace of mind, knowing our kitties were in good hands while we were away! We highly recommend him!”
“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.”
“Jordyn was extremely easy to work with and understanding when circumstance changed. Wish we’d been able to complete our reservation with her as scheduled, but again, appreciate her humanity and understanding when we needed to cancel. Round recommend Jordyn to be others, wholeheartedly.”
About: I have a lot of patience for animals and I love entertaining them, whether that’s playing with them or going on a long walk. For the younger ones, or ones that just have more energy, I would love to run them and keep them in shape. I am super flexible this summer, aside from a few weeks of travel, so whatever works for you works for me. My main priority is going to the gym, but other than that I’m all yours! Whether it’s feeding, walking, brushing, playing, or simply snuggling, I’m always giving my full attention and affection. Also, I think mental stimulation is often overlooked in animal care so I try to incorporate fun games and activities.
“Hannah is amazing! I had to take a business trip and was so stressed about leaving my older cat who needs meds 2x a day home. Friends would have stopped in but with Hannah I was sure to get excellent care. She's wonderful and now I know I can take occasional trips and not worry.”
“Adele does a great job with the cats, she’s always on time and gives them play time and attention, checks their automated food and water and gives them extra food and treats when needed, cleans the litter box, and administers a liquid medicine.”
About: I have been dog sitting since I was in middle school. Friends, family, friends of friend, and neighbors have trusted me with their furry family members. As someone who has a little pup myself, I know the care and consideration each individual animal needs and deserves. I've worked with a variety of breads, behaviors, and ages and feel equipped to ensure a safe walk, play time, or check in for your dog. Personally, I've adopted a puppy Cairn Terrier, Ruckus. I've loved training with him, creating a bond, and learning more about dog behavior. It's been a really fun journey. He's a sassy little guy. I have been off Rover for the past few years, moving around and attending Grad School. I am excited to be back to help the Essex community care for their pets. I currently work from home, full time. I have flexibility in my schedule to do walks and drop in visits for your dog. Where I can provide full and undivided attention. When I have a dog I'm looking after, I will ensure safety and fun - however that looks for your doggie. Going for a walk, playing catch in the yard, or even just laying on the couch getting some pets. Your pet will be my priority for the duration of my visit.
“Laney took great care of our cat! So appreciative of her sharing pictures during our time away. In each pic, could tell how happy our sweet cat was. Super thankful and highly recommend Laney!”
“Jeanne was great and very responsive. I had full confidence my cats were being well cared for while I was away. I would definitely recommend Jeanne and hope to reschedule her services for future dates.”
“I can’t recommend Jessica highly enough. I have a reactive dog with a lot of specific needs, routines, and instructions, so finding someone I truly trust with him isn’t always easy. Jessica handled absolutely everything with ease. She was thoughtful, attentive, communicative, and clearly took the time to understand what he needed rather than treating my instructions like a checklist. I never had to worry that something would be overlooked or that she’d put him in a situation he couldn’t handle. She just got it and made caring for a dog who can sometimes be complicated seem completely effortless. Most importantly, I came home to a happy, relaxed dog who had clearly been incredibly well cared for. Having someone I can trust this completely is such a gift. I would book Jessica again in a heartbeat and recommend her without hesitation, especially to anyone with a dog who needs a little extra understanding and care.”

About: I’ve lived with many cats over the years and provided care for the last 10 years. I’ve housesat for friends and family while caring for their cats and have experience feeding, changing litter, making sure they have clean water, playing with them etc. I understand that cats need to feel safe and have their sovereignty in order to feel comfortable with you.

“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Jodi was very accommodating with us to have our dog cared for while we are visiting the area. She has a great backyard for dogs to play. She also gave us great recommendations for things to do and where to get the best clam chowder. If we are ever back visiting we hope Jodi will be available to take care of Nelly.”
“Gracie seemed to love Mike at first sight! And the feeling was mutual. Mike gives great communication all around, his lovely home and enclosed yard is the perfect setting for my high energy pup.”
“Shelby is great and I feel Tory is taken care of when she is there. She is a plus for us when we go to Amesbury to visit daughters & grandkids as they live a mile from Shelby and if we go out where dogs aren’t allowed Rory doesn’t have to stay alone bc Shelby is so close.”

“This was my first time on Rover and my yellow lab Gus had a great time with Rebeca and her family! She provided photo updates and was very friendly. They live on a nice neighborhood and have a great home for dogs to feel at home and play!! Thank you again. We will definitely be booking again with Rebeca”
About: I am an animal lover who had had dogs and cats my whole life. I go for 1-2 hour walk or hike with my dog and would love more company. I walk in the mornings and offer pick up and drop off. I work from home and have mornings free. I usually walk from 8-10:30 on weekdays and am flexible on weekends. Would love to have your pup join me! I have a friendly dog at home who loves every creature. Safety is number one priority! Your pet will be cared for as my own with diligence and never left alone.
“Our dog had a great stay with Lisa! It was so nice to be able to leave him with someone with a lot of dog experience and clearly a lot of love for dogs. Our dog got along great with her dog. We would absolutely have him stay with Lisa again.”
“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.”
“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 love being surrounded by animals and have been around pets my entire life. For a long time now, I’ve been rescuing lost dogs and helping them find safe, loving homes. Currently, I have three dogs and a cat at my country house, as well as a 10-year-old senior dog at home. One of my dogs in the countryside is partially blind, and I'm the one who takes care of his special needs. This has given me great hands-on experience with senior and special-needs pet care. Spanish is my native language, and my home is fully bilingual! My kids are completely fluent in English and are always here to help with communication for all booking details and updates. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I am at home all day. My daily life revolves around taking care of my dog, maintaining our home, and waiting for my husband and children to return from work and school. Currently, my daughter is starting college this August, so I am looking for extra income to help pay for her tuition. This work is a perfect match for me because it naturally aligns with my everyday schedule, allowing me to give visiting pets full-time attention, love, and constant companionship. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. Since I spend my entire day at home, your pet will have constant presence and attention, a safe outdoor space, quiet walks and specialized care experience.
“Lorraine and her family are awesome! She updated me with pictures and videos throughout my pup’s stay and I felt he was in a very safe and happy environment. We will definitely be working with Lorraine again!”
“Jade watched my two pups with very different needs (one is small, 15 years old; the other is 1.5 yo husky mix) for the day as we were going through town on a road trip. We needed somewhere for the pups to be while we did a non-dog friendly day. Jade was super responsive and accommodating. The dogs happily walked off with her without any hesitation (I trust them to read the situation). She asked good questions about their care, entertained the pup during the day by introducing her to a doggy walking pad inside since it was extremely hot out. She also quickly and easily accommodated an earlier pick up when we finished up early. While we aren’t local to use her again, I would do it if the need arises. Much better than a kennel! Pups were happy when we picked up.”
“Alyssa and Zach are very caring, gentle and loving. They took great care of my pup Cookie and he gets along with them very fast. Their apt is only 4 mins walk from where I live so Alyssa is my to-go puppy sitter!”
“Lupa had a great time with Jing and her family!! I received pictures of him and updates during his stay and I felt at ease knowing he is having a great time playing with his doggy friends and being taken great care of. I will definitely book again when I need a sitter for him!”

“Best dog walker I've ever had! Collette is reliable and it is obvious that she truly loves dogs. My great dane Gus (who can be a bit of a handful) always lights up when he sees her! Could not recommend Collette enough, she is one of a kind! <3”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and have had a cat and dog of my own since I was a child, so I know just how much our pets become a part of the family. I’ve also had the opportunity to care for my neighbors’ and friends’ pets while they’ve been away on vacation, giving me experience with keeping pets comfortable, happy, and on their normal routines while their owners are away. I’m patient, attentive, and dependable, and I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and little quirks. Whether your pet is playful and energetic, shy and independent, or happiest curled up in a cozy spot, I’ll meet them where they’re comfortable. Most importantly, I’ll treat your fur babies like family and give them the same love, care, and attention I’d want for my own. 🐾❤️ I’m currently in nursing school, so while I do have a structured schedule, I also have plenty time during both the week and weekend to care for your pets. I’m organized, responsible, and comfortable following specific instructions, whether that means sticking to feeding schedules, giving medications, cleaning litter boxes, or making sure your cat gets plenty of playtime and attention. I’ll always do my best to make caring for your fur baby as seamless and stress-free as possible while you’re away! First things first, I would 100% die for your pet. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are my top priorities. I’m responsible, detail-oriented, and comfortable following specific care instructions and routines. I’ll treat your home with the same respect and care I would my own, while making sure your cat feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I know how much trust it takes to leave your fur baby in someone else’s care, and I’ll do everything I can to give you peace of mind while you’re away. I’m also more than happy to keep you updated with plenty of pictures and updates so you know your baby is happy and doing well! And of course, I am ready to give your pet allll the love and attention they deserve while you are gone!
“I just started with Laura a week ago. So far Laura and my dog are creating a wonderful bond. Laura is terrific! She is trustworthy, she has a key to my home. I love all the footage I receive whilst she’s with my large dog. I’m very impressed with Laura’s depth of knowledge in dog care. Also she is very humble in her personal accomplishments relating to human and animal communication and skills. I highly recommend Laura.”
“Great communication - messaged me when he was 5 minutes away, and again after he actually got my anxious pup to walk away from the house so I knew she was doing ok. Would definitely book again when my regular walker isn't available!”
About: I have always had pets growing up. I currently have three cats and four dogs. I have experience watching both cats and dogs and would love to watch your pets too!

I can watch your cats or dogs whenever I am needed. I have done lots of dog walking in the past and am comfortable with any kind of dog. I would be happy to play with your dogs outside, take them for walks, and even just keep them company.

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 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.

“Finn is the second dog we have boarded with Michael. He is still a puppy. He was very happy at Michael’s and kept all of his good habits that he has learned so far! Great home and family atmosphere, the best.”
“Faith is kind and friendly and she took great care of my dog Bentley over a long weekend. She sent photos and kept me posted on how he was adjusting. Highly recommend!”
“Lindsay was amazing. Our dog had a great time with Lindsay, her family and her dog Tilly, who happened to match our dog's size and energy level perfectly. Lindsay sent us multiple photos during our dog's stay. We could not recommend her more highly!”
“Our golden doodle loved his stay so much I think he was disappointed we didn’t stay away longer. Her golden retrievers gave him pals to chase around her shady backyard. We are thrilled with Sylvia and hope to use her again soon!”
“Laura took such great care of our dogs and was very kind to accommodate us on short notice! She truly “gets” dogs and her understanding of how to introduce dogs to one another insured that ours had a peaceful visit!”
“Bowser seems to have had a wonderful time with Rebecca and her family! The photo updates were great to share with our kiddos so they could see he was having a nice vacation too 😊”
“Natasha and Jon are amazing— we have a small dog who is a little apprehensive about people and has some separation anxiety but he did so well with them. The dogs were so well taken care of and they sent us tons of photos (I’m an anxious dog owner). You’ll be lucky if you keep your dogs with them :)”
“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!”
“Felicia is great very happy to have access to a great dog sitter! This is the second time I’ve left Ashley with her, got great updates, could not ask for more! Will definitely use again if she’s a available!”
“Donna and John are great to work with and we fully trust them with our pup. They communicated well before and during our trip and it was clear our dog settled in quickly and was comfortable throughout. We'll be asking them to sit again for sure!”
“Joseph and his family were great sitters. They took care of our boy like he was their own. Their home and outdoor space is safe and spacious for dogs to get plenty of exercise. They were also very accommodating when we had a change in travel plans. I wouldn’t hesitate to book him again as a sitter.”
“Such a phenomenal first experience with Caty! Will definitely be booking with her again. She was super communicative and helpful. She would send me pictures and videos of Honey Bee everyday while on my vacation with small updates which i loved, it helped me feel close to her while i was far away. She treated my dog like her own and im so greatful for her care of my dog! Honey Bee also loved her and felt right at home with Caty and her family.”
“Brooke and her family took care of our pup like she was literally one of their own - they brought her along on many adventures and gave her all the love she could possibly want! We hope to have Willow stay with them many more times!”
“David was amazing and my Mille had a wonderful time while I was away. He updated with photos and videos and let us know how she was doing, him and his family is great and if we ever need a sitter again, we will make sure to call David 😊”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Krystyna & Sara G. were absolutely amazing with my mini Goldendoodle, Hazel! From the moment I dropped her off, I knew she was in caring and capable hands. They provided excellent communication throughout her stay, including updates and photos that gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Hazel came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It was obvious that Krystyna and Sara treated her like part of their family, giving her plenty of attention, affection, and care. They went above and beyond to make sure all of her needs were met and that she felt comfortable and loved. I would highly recommend Krystyna & Sara G. to anyone looking for trustworthy, responsible, and compassionate pet sitters. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of Hazel—I will definitely be booking with you again! 🐾❤️”
“Five stars is not enough! We left Chewbacca with Karen for a few days this week. Chewbacca has various specific needs, including oral medication and prescription diet, and he gets very nervous when first dropped off. We have never had such a strong sense of peace of mind with a dog sitter as we did this weekend. Karen was extremely communicative, updated us through text and pictures throughout the day, and always made sure to go the extra mile so Chewbacca felt safe and cared for. We will absolutely be calling her again!”
“Our minidoodle Sam had a great stay with Charlotte and Jordan, and their dog Kyber. Two things we especially like: They generally just take one dog at a time (more attention, and Sam loves attention!), and they live near some great walking trails. Very nice people.”
“Michael and his family were great!! Our Golden Jaxson came home super happy!! He sent multiple update pics and was very responsive!! Felt so at ease Knowing Michael was caring for Jaxson! 🐾”
