“Meagan took great care of our crew with excellent communication each visit and made sure our chickens stayed safe even after their coop door latch broke partway through our trip. Thank you!”
About: Hi! I’m a dog-loving, outdoors-loving hiker who believes every pup deserves safe adventure, enrichment, and pure joy. I’m fully insured and certified in Dog First Aid and CPR. I keep safety front and center so your dog can explore confidently and come home happy and tired. I’ll handle pick up and drop off, send photo updates, and make sure you always know how your dog did on the trail. What sets me apart? I’m combining my love of recreation and dogs to offer weekend hiking adventures designed for smells, socialization, enrichment, fun, and real exercise. I keep groups intentionally small for safety and so I can give each pup personal attention. Prefer one-on-one time? Solo hikes are available—just ask. Every new client/pup starts with a free meet & greet so we can ensure a great fit. How my hikes work I pick up your pup, head to a dog-friendly trail and lead a 1.5 hr hike with frequent sniff breaks, water breaks, and practice trail etiquette. After the hike, I towel off muddy paws as needed, drop your dog back home, and share a quick summary with photos. My goal is a content, relaxed dog who’s mentally and physically satisfied. Safety and standards I’m insured and Dog First Aid/CPR certified, and I carry a trail kit (water, bowls, extra leashes, poop bags, basic first-aid supplies) on every outing. I choose routes and durations based on weather, terrain, and each dog’s conditioning, and I reschedule during unsafe conditions. Is your dog a good fit? Your pup should be up to date on vaccinations and on flea/tick prevention. They should be comfortable on leash, friendly with people and well-matched canine companions, and ride calmly in a vehicle. Active person going to school part time. Available for solo walks in your neighborhood but really looking to get some interest in small group or solo dog hikes. I try to cater to you and your pets needs as much as possible. I will be respectful in your home and communicate regularly so you know how your pet is doing.
About: I've been caring for animals my entire life, I started working at a dog kennel when I was 14 then I moved to a daycare and I also worked at a rescue. I've had lots of experience in the animal care fields, I've done bathing, nail trims, administered medication, light training, and just all around pup exercise! I've cared for senior pets as well as pups around 5-6 months. Animals are my passion and I treat each one with the respect and care they need to feel safe and comfortable while in my care. Im currently working, but I've been pet sitting for years and wanted to expand now that I have more availability. I'm home from 3:30 on and on Wednesdays and Thursdays all day. My doggies at home run and romp around during the day while I'm at work, I come home on lunch to let them all out to potty and play for a bit and then after work it's non stop until bedtime! :) I have a fenced in backyard for your pup to run and play, also an unfenced front yard for those off leash friends! I have 4 dogs of my own 2 little and 2 big, to keep your furry friends company while they stay. I have numerous crates to use if needed to make your pup comfortable. Your dogs will become my family during their stay here! I send pictures and updates of your pups during their stay, to make you feel more comfortable and see what your furry pal is up too! Having many dogs makes it hard for company but, I come right to you once you arrive, or can sometimes offer pick-up service.
“This was my first time using Rover and I was really nervous to try it. We have a senior dog that doesn’t travel well and we usually have people come stay or check in on him, but none of them could do it. I searched Rover for people who had good reviews and repeat customers. Leilani agreed to help last minute and it was much appreciated. She checked on our senior guy twice while we were gone overnight, took care of his diaper, and cleaned up any messes he had. She also fed him. She sent pictures and communicated any problems. It looks like he didn’t want to get out of bed so she brought his food to him for one of the feedings, which was a super sweet way to make sure he got food. We would hire her again.”
“Kate was GREAT!!! She took such great care of our cats while we were gone- lots of attention and snuggles. We really appreciated the pictures and updates she provided. We highly highly recommend her. Thank you!!!!”
About: With a lifelong love for animals and experience caring for both household pets and farm animals, I treat your pets with the same attention and affection you would. My goal is to ensure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I am a self-employed designer/printer, so my schedule is very flexible and adjustable based on your/your pets' needs. I am also single, so I do not have any other prior commitments other than work, and I do not have any pets of my own, so your pet(s) will have my full attention. I typically housesit/farm-sit, and I seek to adhere to the owners' standards. I am attentive to schedules, tasks & chores, and the pets' attention & affection needs. I keep a clean environment, and I make sure that the owner's home is in the same shape as when they left it.
“Dawn was absolutely amazing! 100 percent recommend for taking care of your fur babies. She took great care of my cat and shared videos with me too which made me feel way better! She is the best!! 100 percent trust.”
About: I’ve had fur siblings all of my life and have never had any issues providing the best care, making sure they are well loved and fed and keeping them active. I’ll provide the best care and help out tidying up the home while you are away. Although I am new to pet sitting I will strive to make sure all of your animals are well cared for under my services. I look forward to hearing from you! I’m located in the Lakes region and I am willing to travel further on my days off. I do have a full time job but my days off rotate. If you are interested in using my services, reaching out about a week or 2 in advanced would be best so I can accommodate my schedule to yours! If you need a longer stay I can definitely make that happen with more of a heads up. I feed and water my cats before and after my shift. When I come home on my lunch I bring out some of their favorite toys and play until I have to head back to work. When I get home we have more playtime and I feed them dinner. Before bed I make sure all of their water bowls and food bowls are full, I clean their litter boxes 4-5 times a week (fill as needed) and do a deep clean once every 2 weeks to keep things fresh.
About: Since I was 10 I've been asked to take care of friends, family , and neighbors animals. Ranging from cats and dogs to larger animals. Where I'm from in My old small town where I came from I was highly recommended. I work mainly 4 days a week. My boss is pretty flexible so if you just tell me what you need at least 2 weeks ahead or what you need hoe need me scheduled I will make it work. Offer them love of course. Make sure they're fed and have water and have chance to go out n play and go potty or go for a walk. If they require additional stuff like medicine I would have no problem with that too.
“This is the second time Jessica has catsat for Woody during a vacation and it was another fantastic experience for all involved. She is very reliable and sends great pictures every time she visits along with helpful updates. She even brought in my packages from the deck. Highly recommended again!”
“Candy loved her daily play dates with Katie and Phoebe! Katie is everything you look for in a dog sitter - reliable, responsible, flexible, and has a true affinity for dogs! I know Candy is looking forward to her next walk with them!”
“I can't say enough great things about the care Jamie B. Gave to our old boy, Buddha🐾💙 She went above and beyond with detailed doggo stats at every visit and sent lots of pictures and videos as well. Quality care from a wonderful human being☺️”
About: Animals have always been a part of my life. I currently have a playful Russian Blue cat and have cared for both dogs and cats for over a decade. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, calm demeanor, and ability to tune into an animal's needs—whether it's a high-energy puppy, a shy rescue, or a senior pet needing gentle care. I have experience with reinforcing training with consistency and love. I work remotely and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide reliable and consistent care throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I make sure animals receive attention, play, and walks at regular intervals. I’m committed to keeping pets comfortable and cared for, whether it’s a one-time visit or regular companionship. I treat every home and pet with respect, care, and professionalism. I follow all instructions carefully, keep pets’ environments clean and safe, and always ensure gates, doors, and crates are secure. Whether in your home or mine, I create a calm, low-stress environment where pets feel safe, loved, and well-cared for. I communicate clearly and provide updates so pet parents feel confident and informed.
About: Hi there! My name is Jalen and I am the owner of Walk n Roll NH. I have had pets my entire life and have always worked with animals. My passion for animals is like no other. I treat every single pet as if it was my own child because to me they are all my children! I can accommodate any situation needed! My goal is to make sure I go above and beyond to meet your pets needs! Boarding is so stressful for animals and they don’t typically receive one on one care as often as they should. Being home or in my home they are more relaxed and it’s one solo person that they feel comfortable with! I am willing to meet your pet as many times as you need for both of you to feel comfortable with the services provided! I have two dogs of my own who are not in my home when I have other pups boarding with me. I would have more if I could! . I was a vet tech for a few years so I’m experienced in that field when it comes to the basics! I also foster, so I am always working with new animals with all different temperaments and personalities! I’ve never met an animal that didn’t like me or listen to me! I will always work with your pets and try to help improve anything you are trying to work on! I appreciate you taking the time to read this! You can either message me here or on my Walk n Roll NH page with any questions! I do eyelash extensions and have a pet service business! I am my own boss! I have a very flexible schedule to meet your pets needs! If you need me I will make myself available! I just recently had a very reactive foster dog. I have broken up fights and have been attacked myself. Safety first and fear free always. I am confident in my own safety as well as your pets.
About: I have been taking care of neighbor’s and friends’ dogs during vacations since I was 14. This includes walking, feeding, and playing with them on a set or flexible schedule. I work part-time during weekdays and the majority of the weekend. I have time to manage work and taking care of dogs on my days off. I have always loved animals and wanted to take care of them since I was a kid. I have a very friendly and old dog of my own, who I’ve taken care of constantly, especially through my gap year.

I have had the privilege of entrusting her with the care of my beloved pets, and can say with complete confidence that she goes above and beyond to make sure each animal in her care feels safe, happy, and loved. From the moment Rebecca met my cats, I felt immediately comfortable with how much love and compassion she put into learning each pets unique personality and needs. What truely sets Rebecca apart is her attention to detail and empathy. She kept me informed with regular updates and photos, which gave me incredible peace of mind when I was away. I never once had to worry, knowing my pets were in such capable and loving hands. If you're looking for someone who treats pets like family, I wholeheartedly recommend Rebecca.

“Amanda is very reliable and caring with my two boys who aren't the easiest. I truly appreciate that I can leave town knowing they're in good hands.”
Charles T.
“We are very protective of our animals here on the farm. We often turn down opportunities to go away because of the animals but since we discovered Charles and his loving care of the animals, we can be freer to say, "yes" to opportunity. Charles not only is trustworthy, he is caring and conscientious about doing things the way we want them done. We have had Charles here on the farm while we went away for more than 2 weeks at a time. The animals all thrived while Charles was here. We have booked Charles' services for the future. We would hardily recommend Charles!”

Laura H.
“Laura was amazing with my dog Sammy while I was away. I have known her for about 3 years now and in the beginning I would leave a note out for everything that needed to be done and she caught on very quickly. Hell, she would even clean up around the house even when I didn’t expect that of her. She was always active with Sammy and he would love it when she came over. I would check in and she would send me the best photos of him at the park! I moved away recently so both of us are very sad she can’t watch Sammy for me, but he sure did love his time with her.”
