“Katie was exceptional with our kitties for an extensive trip away from home. She came to the house 2x per day and sent photos with every visit. She played with them and groomed them beautifully. We are so grateful for her and look forward to working with her again! Our kitties love her.”
“Absolutely amazing pet sitter! She is reliable, caring, and truly loves all animals. My cat got sick when we were away and she was very prompt to let me know, took care of him and even cleaning up after him. Highly recommend! Thank you Rebecca!!”
“Kate was very communicative from our first message. She set up a meet and greet with our cat. She has a lovely demeanor. Our cat came up and allowed her to pet her on her first interaction. Daily texts, photos and videos made it clear that our cat was in good hands. I highly recommend Kate for your pet care!”
“Shauni did a great job with our two kitties while we were away. She took care of all the basic responsibilities and went above and beyond to make our kitties feel comfortable. She even got our shy cat to be social.”

“Morgan was so good with Monty! We appreciate her responsibility and dedication. She drove over in horrible weather conditions to care for him while we were out of town.”
About: Hi and thanks for considering me to take care of your dog (s)! I may not have years of experience in owning a dog, but I am a huge lover of animals and have years of experience in taking care of them. I'm the girl who stocks up on treats for when my coworkers bring their dogs to work! I'm the girl who cant walk past a dog on a trail without wanting to stop and pet the dogs. I am loving, caring, and will spoil your fur baby with lots of playtime, love, and a fun run or walks! Let's talk about you and your dog's needs! I do work full time from 9-5pm Monday through Friday, with most weekends off, But I can check in on your babies before or after work, if it's just drop ins, or schedule walks. We do live in a nice quiet and low traffic safe neighborhood with plenty of trails around to walk your dog, and I will always abide and follow any special instructions you may have with the utmost care and respect, so that he or she, and YOU, will be happy.
“Alex is very reliable and has exceptional communication skills. I definitely felt peace-of-mind relying on her to care for my cats while away. I would use her services again. Thanks Alex!!”
About: I'm currently a Pre-Veterinary student at University of New Hampshire and currently work at a local veterinary clinic. As a veterinary assistant I have gained experience with animal handling and care. I am also Fear Free Certified and know had to adequately prevent fear, anxiety, and stress in both cats and dogs. I have previously worked at a training facility and am familiar with certain signals and behaviors that animals demonstrate to express themselves. I have owned cats and dogs my entire life and have been exposed to many types of breeds, species, and seen interesting cases regarding animal health. When I'm not at school I take care of my two dogs and cats at home. Furthermore, I work part-time at a veterinary clinic at school and at home so I am constantly surrounded by animals and have exposure to many cases. I previously owned a diabetic cat and learned how to administer insulin shots and monitor her glucose levels multiple times a day. I feed and water my animals in my home at least twice a day, snacks are often provided as well. I walk my dogs as much as necessary (typically twice a day). I always play with my cats and dogs. I have a kitten who loves playing fetch with toy mice and a 5 year old dog who enjoys hiking trips and swimming. The two dogs get groomed when needed but I brush them consistently in between grooms. Finally, I am responsible when it comes to my animals' health and notice any changes in behavior or appearance almost immediately. I find it important to keep them up to date with vaccines and any other medications they need.
About: I’ve owned my own dog walking/sitting business. I have 4 years of experience training dogs, including my own. I’ve looked after many different breeds and ages of dogs from newborn puppies to senior pups. I love dogs and am willing to put in the utmost effort to make sure they are loved and properly taken care of. Currently, I am available at any time after 4pm and all day Thursdays and Fridays. I am new to the area and I’m hoping to create a schedule with new clients. I will get the animal settled making sure they have food and water. For exercise play with some toys or a walk/hike. And of course making sure they get all the pets and treats they need.
“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!”
About: We are a physically fit couple who both grew up with dogs. We have fostered puppies and older dogs from rescues and have pet sat/walked up to 3 dogs at a time. We have lots of experience pet sitting for all ages and sizes over the last 13 years. We love everything from dog cuddles to hiking and swimming adventures. We also have experience with puppy and dog training. We are physically active and try to spend lots of time outdoors and go to the gym when possible. We both have evenings and weekends off from work which gives us ample time to care for dog we watch. We try to keep eating, bathroom, and exercise routines consistent with what the dogs are used to and owners want, while adding in extra play, exercise, cuddles, and anything else needed to make a pup comfortable and happy based on their age, health, dog type, and mentality.
“I want to thank Donna and Kim for checking in on Maddie on the days I needed them. First time I've used them and they were excellent! They set up a meet and greet to get to know Maddie and what I was looking for. They took lots of notes and everything went great. I worry a lot about my fur baby but I knew by after the first visit that she was in very good hands. They sent a series of pictures so I could see how she was doing during their check-in. What I especially appreciated was the final picture that showed she was happily back in her favorite spot as they were leaving. I will definitely use them again without hesitation. Thanks to both of you!! Mary (and Maddie)”
About: I have had experience with dogs all my life. I beleive that pets are family. I will treat your pup with the utmost care and love. I work from home and am able to take time around lunch to go out. I am also available in the mornings and in the evenings! I will do everything possible to ensure your pet is treated with the most love, care and respect! If I have any concerns I will immediately reach out.
About: I have owned animals all my life and have plenty of enrichment activities- snuffle matts, snuffle balls, puzzle toys, regular toys, and a big yard to play in! I love animals and this is currently a full time job for me being a pet sitter and owner. I make my dog my life and we go for walks and adventures daily. I make a schedule for my own dog, which includes puzzle toys for breakfast, an afternoon walk or adventure, snuffle mats and balls for later, and plenty of cuddles throughout the day!
“Olive was well taken care of in our absence and it was great to get pics so I could see how well she was doing 😊 We’re new to the area and finding Noreen has given us peace of mind for future trips knowing that we have someone local to rely on!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs (and pets in general) since I was around 12 years old. I started by watching my neighbors dogs and moved on from there. I am now a certified dog groomer and want to continue pet sitting as well! I work part time, so I have plenty of time to schedule pet sitting, play and such. I also do my dog grooming on the side for right now. I have a partially fenced yard, and no other pets so my home is friendly to dogs who don’t like other animals, and a very spacious yard

Amy R.
“Amy is not only a loving and caring pet owner for her own fur babies but she is just as attentive and kindhearted to all pets she has a chance to meet. She has cared for both my “spicy” sometimes ill-mannered cat and my senior medium breed pup. Both require medications and special attention that Amy has easily handled. She is both responsible and considerate always having my pets best interests in her mind. Amy provides the standard of care and affection my pets require. She puts my mind at ease when I travel and is the first one I contact to watch over my pets!”

Betsy is a delight, from her caring nature to her comforting responsiveness, reliability and more. Our shy kitty cat Sayde took very little time before she was snuggling up to Betsy, which came across in the many photos that Betsy sent our way. Betsy has our strong recommendation, and we look forward to again using her valued services!
