Welcome Let MY family take care of YOURS
Offering insured pet sitting, certified dog grooming, and safe dog walking services.
Our Mission
Hi, I’m Betina—the heart and soul behind Petina Sitting Services. We’re a small, family-owned business built on love, trust, and a lifelong passion for animals. What started as a childhood dream has grown into a heartfelt mission: to care for your pets as if they were our own.
This business truly is a family affair. While I’m the face you’ll see most often, my mom is the brilliant organizer, manager, and accountant who keeps things running smoothly behind the scenes. My stepson and mom are my responsible backup team when I need a helping hand, and my husband is the talented photographer capturing the joy of our work. Together, we’re a close-knit team—and yes, we really do love taking walks together. A family that walks together, stays together!
My connection to animals runs deep. Born in Malden, MA, and raised in Fort Lauderdale, FL, I’ve been surrounded by pets my entire life. As a kid, I was that neighbor knocking on doors asking if I could walk or wash their dogs. I volunteered at local animal shelters and even helped disabled children ride horses—experiences that left a lasting impact. One of my favorite memories? Attending a zoo camp where I helped care for elephants!
While my early adult years included a detour into culinary school, my heart always belonged to the animal world. I eventually found my calling at Merryfield School of Pet Grooming in Florida—one of the best in the state—where I trained under top grooming professionals. I worked as a groomer for nearly a decade before deciding to create something of my own.
That’s how Petina Sitting Services came to be. After leaving my full-time job at Petco, I made the leap to follow my dream of being a professional pet sitter and groomer on my own terms. I’m now fully insured and bonded, proudly offering in-home pet sitting, dog walking, and grooming services.
When you support my business, you’re not just hiring a pet sitter—you’re welcoming a new friend into your pet’s life. I pour my heart into every visit, taking time to bond with each pet and make sure they feel safe, secure, and loved in their own home. I even promise to clean any little paw or shoe prints I leave behind—yes, even off your walls!
I’m also proud to be an active volunteer in the North Andover community, currently helping care for cats at the MSPCA’s Nevins Farm on Sundays( no time anymore). I serve clients across surrounding towns and take great pride in offering trustworthy, loving care to all of my neighbors.
At Petina Sitting Services, your pets become part of my family—and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Imagine coming home from work to your dog looking fresh with a cute new do. In-home grooming is a more personal, transparent way to care for your pet, giving them the one-on-one attention they need without the stress of a busy salon. It really doesn’t get more comfortable than a spa day right at home.
P.S. I’m also trained in breed-standard cuts.

Note
As a full-time pet care professional, I may need to leave for scheduled dog walks and grooming appointments. Therefore, I can only accept pets that are comfortable being home alone for up to 3/4–5 hours if needed. While some days I can provide more time or even constant care, it cannot be guaranteed. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority.
PS
If your pets require more constant care than I’m able to provide on my own, I do have support from my mother and son. When they’re available, we can help accommodate your pet’s needs and offer additional coverage when needed.
