“Tiffany and her family took such wonderful care of Benny while we were on vacation! It was clear that he received plenty of attention, affection, and love during his stay. Knowing he was safe, happy, and being treated like part of the family allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our trip without worrying. We would absolutely trust Tiffany with Benny again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and caring pet sitter!”


“I feel so comfortable leaving my dog with Janelle and Bob! They are so caring and loving! They have a great set up with a fenced in backyard! I know that my dog is safe and well cared for when I'm away. I would highly recommend them to care for your fur babies!”

“Austin, Francis, and the kids were amazing with our high energy shepard/beagle mix. They adjusted their schedules and came up with innovative ways to tire her out using the collective strength which is no small feat. I couldn’t imagine leaving Millie with any other family. Thank you again!!”

“Shauni and Conner were wonderful pet sitters. Our 8mo old Beau enjoyed himself and the tons of playtime he had. Beau came home exhausted and slept so long. I would recommend boarding or dog sitting with Shauni and Conner.”

“We were on vacation with our puppy and needed a sitter. Kyle & Kaleigh were absolutely the best! Fritz had a terrific day hanging out with them at their house. He played all day with their dog, Izzy. They provided an update and even sent a video. I would highly recommend them! Thank you for taking such good care of our boy!”

“Dashiell must have had a good time at Heidi's because he was totally exhausted when he got home! He seemed to have been fine with so many other dogs around (I've left him with Rover boarders who have only 2-5 dogs total in their care). I appreciated Heidi accommodating an extra day when I made a mistake with my booking.”

“Another fun visit at Alina’s for Jaxon! We picked him up early to take him for a hike in the mountains. He was excited! He always seems well-rested and calm when we pick him up from Alina’s. He’ll be back!”

“I will definitely reach out to Christina for any care for my pup. Her communication and attention to my dog was unmatched and I’m sure my dog will be excited to see her again!”

“Diana was absolutely amazing with Nash! I can’t wait to use her services again! Nash went on plenty of walks her property is a dogs heaven. She sent so many pictures and updates! Truly the best possible experience!”

“Alicia abs her wonderful children and husband could not have been more lovely, kind, accommodating, and thoughtful! We are so very grateful. Our pup, Gertie, has never bonded better with a family in a short time. We even got such sweet pictures during her stay. Definitely book with Alicia if you can! What a positive experience. Much appreciation!!”


“My dog stayed overnight with Chelsea while I was out of town and we had the best experience with her. She was incredibly attentive and I felt good knowing she was in safe hands. I would highly recommend Chelsea and will be using her again! ❤️”


“Primrose had a good time at Kellie's playing with her two chihuahuas and running around their large fenced in backyard. She was a tired happy puppy when we got her home. Thank you for giving Rosie a home away from home for the weekend! :)”

“Thanks for taking great care of Annie and Gracie and the photos of them. It made our attending the family wedding even more enjoyable as we knew they were safe and happy. Thanks very much.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was 10. Friends, family, and neighbors have always trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets like my own. I’m comfortable with puppies, seniors, and everything in between. I’m patient, gentle, and I treat every dog like they’re part of my family. I’m available for pet care Sundays through Tuesdays. Since I work part-time, I have plenty of free time those days to give your pup the attention they deserve! Whether it’s boarding, drop-ins, or just playtime and walks, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I have a fenced-in yard and a friendly dog that love meeting new friends. Your pup will have a safe, loving space to stay in. I can easily crate your dog if needed and always make sure they’re comfortable and cared for like one of my own.
About: I am a responsible, reliable, and intuitive dog lover, who will care for your dog as if they were my own. I understand the importance of showing up when scheduled and tailoring the service to your dog's individual needs. I grew up with family dogs since birth, and have cared for my own dogs over the past 20 years. I started my own professional dog walking and sitting business in 2018. I have experience with many different breeds, ages, and abilities. Through my dog walking business, I also have extensive experience walking small groups of dogs off-leash in nature. If you are interested in this service, I have two female golden retrievers who would be thrilled to join your dog on an adventure hike, providing enrichment, socialization, fun, and lots of exercise! I've recently relocated to Strafford, NH so I'm looking forward to building my clientele in a new area! I serve the Southern Lakes Region of NH. Please note: -Boarding and Sitting Nightly Rates include potty breaks in the morning and evening, as well as a 30 minute drop-in visit or private walk midday. Additional time for the midday walk, adventure hikes, or additional walks may be added on at a discounted rate. Dog care is my full-time job and life! Drop-In Visits & Walks: I'm available Monday through Friday, 8am-4pm, for walks and drop-in visits, with some after-hours availability on an as-needed basis (please note, after hours requests may incur an additional fee). Overnight Sitting & Boarding: Available 7 days/week. Since I care for many dogs during the week, your dog may be hanging out at home for a period of time while I walk other dogs or run errands. Other than that, I'll be home with your dog! Your dog will be treated the same as my dogs, and that means they will be the center of my attention! Boarding: This is a very calm and quiet household (with the exception of some barking) - no kids. My two female golden retrievers (2yrs & 10yrs) are allowed on our couches, so yours would be too if you allow it. Your dog is welcome to sleep in my husband's and my bedroom, or downstairs in the living room/kitchen if they prefer a cool tile/wood floor. Free-range dogs are welcome and crate training is not required unless your dog is destructive or unsafe when left unattended. Please bring your dog's crate if needed, as well as their bed, food, and any other items they may need. We have a fenced in yard to let them out for potty-breaks and to play with each other as well. Overnight Sitting: I have many years of experience staying in clients' homes with their dogs. In addition to caring for your dog(s), I'm happy to take in mail/packages and water house plants. If you want, I can even bring one or both of my dogs with me to provide socialization and companionship.
“Amy Beth was absolutely amazing! Hunter was treated like family and truly enjoyed his stay. We have left Hunter with Amy Beth before and am grateful for her services. She sends you pictures and updates during your pets stay. I highly recommend AmyBeth for your pets needs. We look forward to having hunter stay over in the future. Thank you very much!”

“I can't thank and recommend Gary enough! Gary is very experienced with dogs and was a great for boarding my 60 lbs shepherd mix Jack. A much better alternative than a kennel. Gary has excellent communication and kept me updated on my dog's status throughout my time away. In the past my dog Jack has had issues with long periods of separation but not a hint of it while staying with Gary. Gary was boarding multiple dogs during my dog's stay and he did a great job making sure the environment was safe and comfortable for all the dogs.”

Rebecca was great! We boarded our two Australian Shepards with her for the week we went on vacation. She was extremely responsive, provided frequent updates and photos, and even did pickup and drop off for our two dogs! We appreciate her service and would definitely book with her again.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Acton home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Acton.
