Dog Walkers in Amherst, NH

About: I’m not just a sitter, I’m a full-time pet parent. My husband and I have two rescue dogs that we’ve raised and cared for over the past 6 years, starting from puppyhood. We’ve gone through training, learned how to handle different behaviors and built a home that revolves around happy, well cared for pets, including two rescue cats. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. I treat every dog like they’re part of my own pack, whether that means sticking to their routine, giving them extra patience, or making sure they get plenty of love and attention. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work in real estate, which gives me a flexible schedule and as a mom of two (less furry babies), I’m already used to planning my day around care, consistency and routines. That means I’m able to prioritize walks, drop ins, and check ins throughout the day. I’m often out and about locally, so it’s easy for me to incorporate visits and give pets the attention they need at consistent times. I always follow each pet owner’s lead when it comes to care. Every pet has their own routine, preferences and personality, so I take the time to listen carefully and stick as closely as possible to what they’re used to. In my home, pets are welcomed into a loving environment. We live in a quiet cul-de-sac neighborhood, which is great for safe, low-traffic walks and a more relaxed setting. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and make sure your pet feels comfortable and secure in their familiar surroundings.

“Robert always does a fantastic job, thanks!”

“Callie is amazing! She is dependable and communicates effectively. I really can’t explain how much I appreciate her! I look forward to the pictures of Kola from her walks! Thank you Callie so much!”

About: I’m an animal lover with animals of my own!🩷🐾 From training my own pets, to taking care of friends and families, I’ve had a fair share of experience! :) I’m currently a full time student at UNH who works as a server on the weekends! My schedule is mainly open for you and your animal companion! 🩷 I’ve been walking dogs since I was a little girl, so I know the ins and outs! I’m sure of safety and precautions when taking care of my own pets and especially yours🩷

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is that animals have always been a part of my life, not just something I care for occasionally. Growing up in a big family, our home was always FULL of pets...dogs, cats, rabbits, 2 birds, fish, even an iguana—and I learned from an early age how to nurture and care for animals of all kinds. My mom owned a horse, and my dad’s one dog soon turned into three—then he brought home a rescue. Years later my mom brought home a litter of abandoned kittens, so compassion for animals has been a part of my life from the very beginning.. I have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and ages, from playful puppies to senior pets who may need extra patience and medical support. I’m comfortable administering medication and paying close attention to pets with special needs. While in nursing school, I turned my love for animals into side work, walking dogs and providing overnight care for either dogs or cats. I treat every animal like my own, knowing how much they truly mean to the people who love them. Pet care fits into my routine very naturally. I’m a stay at home mom with a flexible schedule, so I’m able to give plenty of time and attention to the pets I care for. Your pet would have my full focus and lots of love. *For pups who aren’t used to stairs or have mobility concerns, we have a home elevator available so they won’t need to use any stairs.

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 15. I have taken care of neighbors, family, and close friends' animals. I have experience with a variety of dog breeds and personalities. I have had to administer medication via shots to animals before and feel comfortable in those situations. I plan on going to veterinary school and have a strong interest in animals and making sure they have fun. I am currently working an internship completely online as well as taking an online summer class. I am able to stay anywhere I need to take care of animals. I have not much else that can interfere with me accompanying the animals. I will take the animals on walks and play with them. I want to make sure they are having as much fun as possible so they cannot worry about anything.

“I really liked Jessica, my dog walker and “mama” to sarge for 3 weeks! She was extremely reliable and loved sarge as I do. I couldn’t have gotten a better person to walk and take care of my dog while I was away. She sent pictures and and texts every day she was there with him. I would definitely ask her to take care of him again on my next vacation and will recommend Jessica to my family and friends”

About: I've had a dog for 15 years and have dog sat for many years. I've been walking pets for a year officially, and love every minute of it! I am currently not working at the moment so I am free everyday at anytime before 9pm to walk or watch the cats and dogs. I am able to give pets my full attention when visiting. I do have a fenced yard with no other dogs in the house. And a shy cat.

“We love Emily and are so lucky to have found her. She does a great job caring for our crazy animals and is very reliable. We will absolutely continue to book with her.”

About: My name is Natasha, and I am very passionate about caring for animals - I even worked for a rescue for many years! Part of why I love caring for animals with Rover is because I get to know and love so many new furry friends. I promise to treat your pets like my own, and give them love and care while you are away! I'm located in Amherst, on the border of Merrimack, and while I cannot offer boarding at this time as I have two young kids and a pup who has only been with us about 6 months and wouldn't do well yet with other pets in the home, I still would love to get the opportunity to spoil other animals in my area with love. I will treat your pets with respect and affection, and I am always happiest when I have a furry friend by my side. Please reach out with any questions, I look forward to meeting you and your four legged family members! I currently work full time remote, so I am home during the day every day and am able to keep good attention to my pup and any pups we watch. We treat every pup we watch as though they are our own. We absolutely love dogs, and will go out of our way to provide the best care possible.

“Nathan is very respectful and flexible to our needs. We’ve had no problems changing up our walk schedule or swapping times while traveling. Nathan is fantastic!”

“Heather was wonderful with my Golden Retriever Nell. She was reliable, always on time, and consistently took her for hour long walks and swims on our local horse trails and in our local pond, which was just what Nell loved. She took cute photos of their adventures to post for me, and kept her safe and content. She has been a real asset and I would highly recommend her. Nell is a young and energetic dog and Heather had no difficulty managing her and providing good care.”

About: Lifelong animal lover with years of experience, caring for a senior dog on weekends and weekdays as needed. As a pet owner to both a bunny and a cat, I understand the importance of reliable, compassionate care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and am committed to providing a safe, fun, and positive experience for your furry family members. 🐾 Because I work part-time, my schedule changes weekly, but I’m usually available on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. I also have some weekends free, depending on my work schedule. I’m very flexible and always willing to work with pet parents to find a schedule that works best. Whenever I have availability, I’m happy to help with last-minute pet care requests! Since I am unable to host pets in my own home, I provide care in your pet’s familiar environment. I understand that trust is important when inviting someone into your home, and I always treat both your home and pets with respect and care. I follow instructions closely and do my best to maintain your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special requests. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Alexa was so wonderful! She replied to my inquiry quickly and then we texted back and forth without delay. She arrived on time, checked in and checked out via the Rover app, sent me a picture, and left a short but detailed Rover card about the visit. Alexa even brought Davey a little goodie bag; but I won't divulge the contents here so you are just as pleasantly surprised as I was! Davey was clearly well taken care of during the walk and that is all anyone could ask for when leaving their dog in someone else's hands.”

About: Hi, I’m Kristen! I’m based in New Hampshire and have been working with animals for several years. I have hands-on experience both personally and in a shelter environment, giving me a strong understanding of a wide range of animal needs and behaviors. I currently have two cats of my own and grew up around dogs, so I’m comfortable caring for both—as well as other types of pets. I’m flexible, dependable, and happy to help with everything from daily care to giving you peace of mind while you’re away. Whether you need a quick check-in, extended care, or just an extra hand, I’m here to help! I work full-time on a second-shift schedule (Thursday through Monday) in Peterborough, but I’m still available for housesitting and pet care with a bit of coordination. Because my schedule is a little unconventional, I may require additional support for certain bookings, but I’m always happy to discuss what works best for you and your pets. At this time, I prefer to provide care in clients’ homes, as I currently rent and have a cat who isn’t accustomed to dogs. This allows me to give your pets the attention they deserve while keeping them comfortable in their own environment.

About: I’ve cared for a variety of animals through both personal ownership and pet-sitting for friends and family. My experience includes dogs, cats, guinea pigs, lizards, and chinchillas. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, cleaning habitats/litter, playtime, walks, and giving pets patient, attentive care. I understand that every animal has a different personality and comfort level, and I work to make pets feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while their owners are away. I work a consistent weekday schedule from 7–5, which allows me to plan pet care reliably into my routine. I am able to drop-in during my work day during house sits to address any mid-day needs, in addition to being available for early morning, evening, and weekend care. I care for pets by keeping their routines consistent and stress-free. Whether I’m doing drop-ins, walks, or house sitting, I make sure pets are fed, exercised, cleaned up after, and given plenty of attention and care. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and needs, and I always keep owners updated while they’re away.

About: Dogs and cats have been a part of my life since I was a small child. From a young age, I was helping neighbors by letting their dogs out and watching their cats while they were away. I’ve grown up around all kinds of dogs—from my own tiny 7-pound Chihuahua to my dad’s large pack of hounds—and I’ve experienced every stage of life, from newborn litters to senior pets. With years of hands-on experience, I understand the unique needs and personalities of each animal, so you can trust that your pets are in caring, experienced hands. I currently just quit my full time job and I’m working on building my cleaning business. I’m excited to take on new pets to fill in my extra free time! I take pride in being a reliable and trustworthy caregiver for every pet I look after. I treat each dog and cat as if they were my own, giving them the attention, care, and affection they deserve. You can count on me to stick to schedules, follow instructions, and provide a safe, loving environment so your pets feel happy, comfortable, and well-cared-for while you’re away.

About: I have worked with dogs professionally for over 5 years, including in daycare/boarding as well as training. I have experience with many breeds and sizes, some of my responsibilities include feeding, administering medication, walking, adventures such as hikes and dog sports including dock diving, barn hunt, rally/obedience, agility, etc. I am also certified in canine CPR and attained my CPTD-KA as a professional dog trainer. I am also currently studying Canine Psychology and Animal Behavior! Before doing things professionally I was a sitter and walker in my neighborhood for friends, family and neighbors. Whether you are looking for some improved manners or just a fun, responsible sitter, I am someone who takes great pride in my passion for dogs. I am currently fairly open and flexible and would LOVE to work you into my routine. I have reliable transportation as well as a crash tested crate and harness in my car for any transport needed. I am more than able to pup sit at the dog’s safe space at your home. I currently have a dog of my own who is very friendly and well mannered, but would be more comfortable talking about boarding at my home once a relationship has been established
