Pet Sitting Alton

About: Dog lover here! Providing dependable, active, and affectionate care. From puppy energy to easygoing senior strolls, I respect your dog’s specific habits, commands, and feeding schedules. I put safety safety first on every walk, lots of positive attention, and keep you updated with fun pictures and visit summaries while you're away. I have a reliable, consistent routine that gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care on evenings, weekends, and early mornings. Since I keep my service radius close to home, I can easily fit in drop-ins, feedings, walks, and playtime without feeling rushed. I make visiting and caring for your animals a dedicated part of my day! I live in Barnstead, but work in Portsmouth so don't me afraid to message me if you appear outside of my radius. Safety and clear communication are my top priorities. When visiting your home, I strictly follow all feeding, medication, leash and other guidelines to keep your pet safe and comfy. I ensure entryways, doors, and gates remain secure at all times, double-check that food and hazardous items are out of reach, and treat your home with respect. During every visit, I provide thorough updates with photos so you have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well-cared for.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. I currently have two German Shepherds that I’ve raised and trained since they were puppies, so I understand the patience, consistency, and love that goes into caring for dogs. I also have a horse that I’ve had the pleasure of caring for for the past 23 years, and I’ve spent most of my life working in a barn, giving me experience with animals of all sizes and personalities. Along the way, I’ve also had the joy of caring for cats, too! Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or just wants some extra attention and cuddles, I’ll care for them like they’re one of my own. I currently work from home full time as a short term disability claims manager and have a flexible schedule. I take my own personal dogs on walks every morning I live on 5 acres and have gps collars for my dogs so I know where they are all the time, normally I leave them outside to play while I am working and I keep an eye on them.

“Alexandra was great! She took excellent care of our four cats on short notice. Lots of cute photos of all the critters, and she took the time to give each of them attention. We were lucky to find her!”

About: A dog lover since birth! I grew up with dogs, and have cared for my own dogs throughout the past 15 years. I founded my own dog walking and sitting business in 2018 and I have been walking dogs professionally for the past 4 years. I have experience with many different breeds, on and off the leash. I am very active and your dog will get a great workout with me, but I'm also able to go at a slower pace for elderly or less able-bodied dogs. I have experience caring for dogs with disabilities and changing their diapers. I am a responsible, conscientious, intuitive dog enthusiast and will care for your dog like my own. I understand the importance of showing up when scheduled and tailoring the visit to each individual dog's needs. I have extensive experience with overnight sitting in clients' homes, as well as off-leash woods walks and on-leash neighborhood walks. I can also care for your cat, or other smaller critters, as well. I have a 5-year-old, female golden retriever named Luna who would be happy to play with your dog for socialization and exercise. References available upon request. I am available on weekdays for dog walking, between the hours of 9am-5pm. I do have occasional weekend availability, and would be willing to overnight sit for my walking clients once we have developed a relationship. Safety is my priority when caring for your dog. I am certified in Pet CPR and First Aid. I also have extensive experience in taking dogs off-leash in the woods. I always have my eyes and ears open for possible distractions or potential altercations with other dogs and am proactive in avoiding these issues. I have experience breaking up multiple-dog fights, though I strive to avoid those! No dog has ever been hurt in my charge. Dog walking is my full-time job, so I'm available pretty much all day Monday-Friday! Taking care of your dog is my top priority each day. I am not currently set up to take dogs into my home, but I do offer in-home dog sitting services for my regular walk clients.

“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!”

“Amanda was so gracious to be able to take on our last-minute cat sitting when we had an out-of-town funeral to attend. She was polite, checked in often and sent AWESOME photos of our cats! I really didn’t worry a bit, and will definitely seek her services again.”

“Aaron is awesome! He put up with my blabbering about my dogs during our meet and greet, and was very polite and kind. He didn’t mind my dogs’ high energy and excitement. He took very cute pictures of them while he was looking after them, and he kept me updated on how they were doing. He’s an absolute delight; I can’t recommend him enough!”

Cassie L.

“Last minute booking, we reached out to Tara ok friday, she came over to meet the pups and then we were able to book a 3 drop by and 2 feedings. Tara updated me every drop in with comments and photos! We will definitely be using her in the future!”

“I am incredibly grateful to have found Chelsea on Rover. From our first meeting, I had complete trust in her abilities to care for my older dog. She was dependable, shared wonderful photos and timely updates at each drop-in visit, and is just overall an awesome person. Upon our arrival home, our dog was relaxed, happy, content, and so well taken care of. I would highly recommend Chelsea for all of your pet needs.”

About: I was a dog mom for 17 yrs. I had two dogs, Kiya and Elvis, who were the best friends a girl could ever ask for. Sadly, they are both gone now. I have watched dogs for friends and family and I volunteer at my local animal shelter. I find so much joy in it. I'm semi-retired now so I have found I have a lot more time to do both now. I would love to care for your dogs. I never met a dog I don't like. I know it can take time for some dogs to trust and I accept that, especially with the shelter dogs. I always miss the dogs I've watched and the dogs who get adopted. From the time I was a small child, I have been drawn to animals. I'm semi-retired now so I'm frequently available to care for your dogs. It can be a potty break on a long work day, a weekend get away or a vacation. I've watched dogs as small as a 3 lb chihuahua to a 75 lb lab. I easily adapt to whatever routine and care your dogs are used to. I have an agreement with myself that I don't leave your dogs unless I absolutely have to. I've watched dogs in Florida and Colorado where I was encouraged to venture out and enjoy myself but I preferred to do that with their dogs or not at all. I will treat them with the utmost care, after all they are like your children. I'm happy to have them sleep with me if that's what they feel best with. My dogs slept with me every night. I respect if people crate their dogs as well.

“Amanda was so great for drop-ins with our senior dog when we had to travel! We got thorough updates and progress reports and the cutest pictures. She kept up with her medications and routine. After our first meet and greet I knew she'd be great with our dog and she definitely was!”

“Maria was amazing! She came on time and played with Bella and left the place tidy and clean. Bella loved Maria! I will definitely book for next time.”

Nazifa A.

“Lee was amazing! On time every day and always gave a summary of each visit with photos of our two cats. Lee gave lots of attention to Sally and Charlotte and had no problem administering their medication. We will be booking with Lee again for our next vacation!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 16. I’ve owned a black lab growing up, and a German Shepard that my parents got. I currently own a Black Cat named Lucky for the last 6 Years. Hes sweet. I take care of my girlfriend’s dog all the time who is a 5 year old Morkie. I also have always been a huge help with friends and family in dog care taking, dogs and cats are one of my true passions! My schedule varies, but I always try my best to be open. Most weekends I am free. Some weekdays as well. It all depends. I am a co parent. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family. I follow the owner’s normal routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications or special instructions. I’m patient, attentive, and make sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owner is away.

About: I have taken care of pets, including dogs, cats and farm animals, since I was a small child. I currently have two active dogs, one of which has epilepsy and requires multiple daily meds, therefore I have a great deal of experience keeping up with medication schedules and administering appropriate meds. I trained one of my own dogs to be a therapy dog and we are a current therapy team. My husband and I travel with our dogs whenever we can, but sometimes it's not possible to take them. Because of this I easily understand the importance of finding pet care givers who we can trust and rely on. I am a responsible, retired professional looking to help give others that peace of mind. I retired from my full time career a year ago and in general have flexibility to pet sit at any time. My husband takes care of our own pets when I am away. I will manage care for your pets according to your wishes, including walking, playing, giving medications, crating, etc. I will give them kisses and cuddles if they allow it and will enjoy getting to know them and their personalities.

“I highly recommend Leilani! She is reliable, professional, and genuinely care about the well-being of my dog. Communication is excellent, and I always receive updates and photos, which gives me peace of mind while I'm away. My dog is always excited to see her and comes home happy and well-exercised after every walk. It's clear she has a real love for animals and treat my dog as if it were her own. I couldn't be happier with the service and would recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker.”

About: I grew up with, and have cared for dogs for most of my life. I have taken care of family members and friends dogs, some long-term, throughout my adult life. I’m very gentle natured and meet dogs where they are at. My job is to make them feel comfortable and cared for and all of the dogs I have cared for have had such different needs and personalities! I’m very keen on reading their signals, and have dealt with timid/older dogs in the past, and helped them come out of their shells. I currently work part time as a manager at Somersworth Storage, on Thursday’s Friday’s (9am-5pm and every other Saturday until (9am-1pm). I’m available Monday-Wednesday, however I would be available some Saturdays as well. I do not currently have any pets, and would care for an animal based off of their environment, and if they have a fenced in yard or require leash walks around the neighborhood.

About: I am a very detail oriented individual who has loved raised animals since I was a child. I have experience with different types of dogs and personalities including rescues and spicy personalities. I myself own 3 dogs. 2 rescues and a French Bulldog. I consider myself someone who can easily gain trust with nervous or territorial dogs. I also have a lot of experience cats as well. I really like to listen to what the animal requires to give the best care for your fur babies. Currently, I work a full-time job 7-3:30pm. I am looking to do nights and weekends with the goal of going full-time. Currently weekends and last minute walks during the weekdays after 4:00 will work best. First and foremost my animals are my babies and I feel the same way about yours! I like to make sure that anyone whose animal I care for feels comfortable and all questions have been asked prior to care. If possible, I like to meet the dogs and owners ahead of time which allows the owners to see our interactions together to make sure it is a great fit. I will send photos and updates while giving reassurance to those who worry when not at home. My animals are my babies and yours will be too during care.

About: I have spent lots of time with a family dog and have been a sitter for several breeds over the years, often through friends and family. I am always over the moon to meet and spoil (to the owners comfort) a new furry freind! I am currently a graduate student which allows me the flexibility to schedule quality walks and play time with your pups! I typically work from home 50% of the work week, so getting out for a walk in between computational work is a win win! As a dog walker I will make sure your pup has a positive high quality walking experience. If I am sitting, I will ensure all fur babies get the level attention and care they need to feel safe and happy.
