“Angela is perfection! Not only was my house cleaner than I left it when we returned after a week, but she kept us connected with our pups’ goings on throughout our time away. We are so thankful that our babies were in the great care of Angela and it enabled us to have a stress free time away :) thank you!”


“Amanda is awesome! We have a 10 acre farm and she took care of our dogs, cat, chickens, goats, and our cow. She is easy to get a hold of and sent pics everyday. Our home is exactly how we left it and all of our animals have been well cared for. We will definitely use Amanda again in the future!”


“Alivia was amazing! We were in a time crunch and she jumped right in. 😁 She stayed with our furbabies four nights and kept them really happy. When we were flying home we missed our connecting flight, and Alivia offered to drive over and check on Henry, Sparkles and Beatrix. It was such a relief! ❤️ We came home to happy furbabies, and it’s all because Alivia took such great care of them. We will definitely book with her again!”

“Onyx was great with our dogs over the weekend! She met them twice before we left town to make sure the dogs were comfortable. And she gave updates whenever we asked! I would hire her again for sure.”


“Lydia is great. She is very professional. She met my dogs beforehand to make them feel comfortable and also took the time to learn their personalities. She spent the whole day with them which made them feel really wanted. We appreciated her spending so much time with them and caring for them!”


About: 20 plus years experienced caretaker. I've rescued, fostered and adopted senior pets, pregnant mamas, puppies and the like. I have experience with walks, overnights, administering meds, wound care and of course snuggles. I work a pretty flexible part time schedule of afternoon and early evening hours a few days a week that allows me to schedule visits as needed to accommodate your pets schedule. However I am instructed to do so by the owner. In my home, I have a fenced in yard, there is also a dog park in the community. I have animal crates if needed. Large and small depending upon what is needed. I also have a silly dog of my own at home as a companion.

“Alyssa did a great job watching our two dogs. She fed them and let them out according to directions and they enjoyed spending time with her. We would book her again in the future.”


“Nicole was just excellent with our dog Josie. She handled Josie’s anxiety so well and did so much to make sure Josie had a good time! She kept us updated frequently, and asked all the right questions. We would not hesitate to book Nicole again!”


“Haley was a lovely sitter and house guest. She was on time, sent lots of updates and photos of Raven. Raven also has some very specific needs that Haley was able to accommodate. Haley was also very thoughtful with the space and even started the dishwasher and put her sheets/towels in the laundry machine. I would definitely book Haley again.”


“Miakoda house sat for us and cared for our two large dogs. She communicated well, and we trusted our dogs and house were in good hands. We are very happy and would recommend her services!”


“Addy did a wonderful job looking after our sweet little cavalier Summer for two overnights at our house! She followed all our detailed notes and kept Summer on her regular routine and schedule. Addy is also a great communicator and sent us lots of photos which we enjoyed! We would highly recommend Addy!”


“Samantha was terrific! We are very fussy leaving our labrador, Paddington, with anyone. We met with her beforehand, and we instantly knew that everything would be fine. She is extremely reliable, kept in touch with us consistently, and we were very pleased with her stay. We would happily use her again.. We would recommend her to anybody!!”


“Candace was so amazing! I have never felt comfortable leaving my girl with anyone but my parents, this was my first time using a sitter. Everything went so well and my pup was so happy. Candace sent me pictures and videos throughout. I also have some outdoor cameras on my property so I can see the comings and goings. Candace spent so much time with my pup, that made me really happy because my biggest thing was I didn’t want her to be alone, and she wasn’t!”


About: I have had dogs for my entire life. I have always been one of the ones to walk, feed, bathe and care for them. All ranging from younger to older dogs. I work full time but get off work early, I always have free time and am always looking for things to occupy my time. I love animals and am currently going to school to be a vet tech. I have a fenced in yard and 2 others dogs. I used to dog sit and walk dogs around my old apartment complex. I am verg used to dealing with dogs of all sizes and even ones that have medical conditions.

“I highly recommend Maria. She is trustworthy, responsive and reliable. She contacted me when Molly was shaking due to fireworks in our neighborhood to make sure this is typical. 8 forgot to warn her and was very happy she reached out to me. Molly had a wonderful time with her and was not as excited to see me as I expected. (because she was content with Maria). This was my first time with a house sitter and I was so pleased to return home with my house as clean as I left it. I will be using her again.”


“Caitlynn was absolutely fantastic with our two dogs. Our one dog is very elderly and needs a lot of attention, the other dog is a mastiff rescue and very shy. She was able to give the dogs excellent care while also being aware of their needs and limitations. She kept the house clean and we would absolutely hire her again.”


“Kayla came through last minute to stay with our pup for the week! She was really easy to communicate with and sent us tons of pictures so we knew he was having a good time! She was extremely respectful of our things, and left our house exactly as it was. We will definitely be having Kayla stay with our dog again when we go away!”


“Missy and Jeremy are wonderful!! We receive pictures and an update every day; the sheets on the bed are washed and the bed is remade; towels are washed and folded; and, the house is in perfect order!! We never worry when they are our pet sitter.”



About: My grandfather and mother both have an animal science background so I was raised with a knowledge of animals and how special they are from a very early age. Because of this, I care deeply for the well being of your pet and treat it as my own. I think dogs represent the best of human kind. I believe that animals, specifically dogs have an innate power to heal and connect that is awe-inspiring. This ability I witnessed first hand growing up with a golden retriever and a German shepherd, the later becoming a therapy dog and certified pet partner for my family. Lastly, I have taken care of dogs of all ages and breeds from 1 month to 16 years, from 15-130+lbs, and done some by house sitting, walking, and boarding. I love all dogs, but am partial to bigger ones because that it was I grew up with since age 10. I currently work full time so I am available after or before business hours during the weekdays (9am-5pm, Monday-Friday) or anytime on the weekends to walk, visit with or house/dog sit. I can commute from anywhere in the metro Portsmouth region so dog/house-sitting is something I can do any day, most weeks. I will do my best to make your dog feel like nothing has changed in their own space (your home). On walks and during play visits, I will make sure they are comfortable, constantly watching body language for anxiety, fear, and exhaustion, etc. and will let their behavior dictate the pace, duration, where we go, and when bathroom breaks are needed. I treat walk and play time as their time and I am just there to make sure they have the most enjoyable time possible, while protecting their safety and health.

About: I can care for puppies, and give special tender-loving care to senior or disabled dogs. I am skilled at reinforcing training and giving snuggles. Whether your pet needs just a check-in or you'll be out of town for up to week, I will make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and well cared for. My dogs have all been special needs, from my last dog: Rowan, Mini Aussie pup that we got from a little farm who had anxiety, to my first dog Abby who had hip dysplasia. All dogs are welcome in my care. I have a strong arm (even if I don't look like it) and will always give the best doggie care I'm able to! I'm currently taking some time off, and I have very open availability. All requests need to be made 4-5 days in advance, I do not serve areas outside of Saratoga City Limits. I believe that the security and safety both of your home and pet come first. If you have special requests please make them known to me. I don't think anyone's home should be treated any differently than the animal that deserves treasuring and nurturing. Your dog will be treated with respect and kindness, their special needs heeded, and their boundaries observed & kept in mind.

Lauren B.
“Lauren is a kind and loving pet sitter. She is provided exercise, extra love, hugs, and belly scratches for our two dogs (65 lb & 110 lb). Lauren also house sat for us. She respected our rules and home and didn't leave a single dish in the sink or food on the counter when we arrived home. She even called to ask if she had time to give the dogs one more walk before we came home so they would be a little calmer when we arrived. We highly recommend Lauren as a pet and/or house sitter.”
