“Moriah took great care of our dogs while we were away! She also left the house very clean, which is always appreciated. She was very professional and sent lots of pictures/videos to kept us updated.”

“Alex still came even knowing my littlest one wasn’t feeling well. She took great care of both of my pups and truly put me at ease. I’m very grateful for her reliability and kindness.”

“Grace is wonderful. She is attentive, patient, kind and professional. She took great care of our fur kids and we look forward to booking her services again in the future.”

“Sue was wonderful. Our dogs took minimal time being comfortable with her, where they normally take 15-30 min to warm up to people. When we returned home the dogs were happy and Sue left the house spotless. Thank you so much for a great experience, Sue!”
“Michelle and Ken took great care of our cats (one with special needs) and our house. It brings such peace of mind to know we can enjoy our time away and not worry about anything at home. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve taken care of various dog and cat breeds to help out friends and family for years. I’ve had to follow specific instructions based on behavior and/or medical needs of the animal. I’ve been relied on for potty breaks, meal times, and a little activity. I work full time, however, I’m available for afternoon walks/care during the week. On weekends, I have flexibility with my schedule to include play dates, feedings, etc. I have a small indoor space to enjoy, as well as, a BIG unfenced yard. I prefer to use a leash when outdoors at all times unless I brought them to a fenced in area or are known to stay close to home.
“Heidi was so good with my dogs ! They loved her ! I enjoyed my vacation without a worry at all- I knew my dogs would be in the best hands with her! She let me know that everything was going well and sent me pics ! I highly recommend her for your pet needs !!!”

About: Hi! We are Hannah and Abraham! Not only do we love dogs, we also know how to communicate and be responsible caregiver! We have 2 dogs of our own and the desire to better communicate with our dogs have naturally led me to study/take training classes to understand their language, their needs, and just to be a good and responsible dog parents. Hannah is good at understanding dog’s cue and quick at understanding what they are expressing, which is crucial when taking care of any dog. And Abraham is natural at playing with dog with different kinds of stimulating plays. We work remotely from home, which allows us to spend the whole day with the dogs. We think it’s a blessing, and we wanted to extend our cares to our neighbors. We can always be in the dog’s presence and actively engage with them(play, training, walk). We respect all dog owners and their boundaries. Personally we exclusively use positive reinforcement method, but if you have your own boundaries/method that you are working on let me know so we can best honor that during our boarding/daycare service. Being away from home for dogs can be very stressful. Our foremost priority is to let them ease into a new environment at their own pace. This is important especially if we take care of your pet recurrently- so we can build trust and our house becomes a place to rest and have fun, a place that dogs are excited to come back to. I am also very good with shy dogs. For Boarding service •I require everyone to bring their crate for safety reason (for under 20lbs dog we can provide a crate), it’s always better to give your pups an option to be in their own crate when they need space when away from home. And also, when I go to bed, they will be crated because I won’t be able to watch them so they stay safe. •You are required to bring your pup’s food. They might have allergy. •I let the dogs out for potty break every 3 hours. Let me know if your dog potty situation so I can accommodate.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for most of my life, starting at age 16 when I helped my mom with dog sitting and house sitting. By the time I turned 18, I had built my own small client base and began independently caring for pets. Over the years, I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, fish, and birds. My dog experience ranges from energetic puppies to senior dogs of all sizes. Many of the pets I’ve cared for have required daily medications, so I’m very comfortable managing medical routines and special care needs. I also have experience handling unexpected situations, including transporting pets to the veterinarian for emergencies while families are away, always keeping owners informed and their pets safe. I work full time at Dartmouth Hitchcock in the operating room, but my role is very flexible. I’m able to step away during the day for check-ins, walks, feedings, and potty breaks, and I can also work remotely when needed. This flexibility allows me to give pets consistent attention throughout the day rather than limiting care to early mornings or evenings. I’m very reliable with schedules and communication, and I make sure every pet I care for gets the time, attention, and love they deserve. At this time, I’m unable to offer dog sitting in my own home, as one of my dogs struggles to make new friends. I provide in-home sitting instead, which I actually prefer—this allows your dog to stay in their familiar environment, stick to their normal routine, and avoid the added stress of a new space. My goal is always to keep your pet comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Peter and Sarah are very nice people and I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog for 11 days with them. They do not work outside the home, so they are available most of the day. They took great care of my house (even watering my extensive garden which was above and beyond). Can't recommend them highly enough.”

“Sandra was excellent with our pup! She was very attentive to her needs, and kept us up to date with how she was doing and provided great pictures. We will definitely be requesting her in the future and highly recommend her services.”

About: I have over 10 years experience with sitting cats, dogs and other small animals. Most of my pet-sitting clients are repeat families I’ve connected with through the local community. I have experience with extended in-home pet sitting, including overseeing household upkeep while clients are away. I am comfortable administering any oral medications needed, with provided instructions and tips. I love keeping you updated with photos and videos while you’re away and making sure your pet is happy, relaxed, and thriving! I have a flexible work schedule to be able to stay with your pets, or visit a number of times through out the day, to help accommodate your needs. I have experience in others homes where the pets feel most comfortable, and usually have a routine I can help maintain while your away! I also will attend to any other home chores like house plants, small pets like fish, or any problems that arise I will be sure you are aware right away.
“Danny was great! He sent videos and pictures of the fun the cats were having. The kitties learned new ways to play which was exciting for them. He stayed in our home and left it as he found it: We are very pleased with his care for our fur balls and will definitely request his services again.”

“We were very happy with Lauren. She came for a meet and greet. She showed up promptly on the day of the appointment, and took Charlie outside while we were gone. She sent us pictures of them playing. And Charlie was happy and content when we got home. I would hire her again in a heartbeat.”
About: I grew up around pets my entire life. Recently, I’ve started house/pet sitting! It’s something I really enjoy- meeting new animals! I love getting them to trust me and working with them I work full time but I’m free on evenings, mornings, and weekends! After my job is over, pet sitting becomes my full priority! I also have some flexibility in the mornings. I’m careful in clients home to not leave anything out that pets may get into- I know how sneaky they can be! I’m also good about getting them in the house/keeping them in (cat parents specifically!)
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats and have done house sitting for 4 years. I love doing this kind of stuff. I can walk them, go for walks all that fun stuff. Im doing babysitting right now but can house sit whenever and can be with the dogs/cats whenever. I am always free to take them out whenever needed. I will watch pets in your home and or/ stay in your home for house sitting overnight. I will keep them safe and follow any rules.
“I never left my dog with anyone except my daughter and only overnight and she’s almost 12. I was anxious to do so and Teri reassured me she’d take good care of her. I got texts throughout my trip with photos. I missed her but was able to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing she was being taken care. I would recommend Teri (and Molly) and definitely would use them again.”

Over 25 pet parents in Bristol have booked house sitting
Bristol pet parents share their Rover experiences
We highly recommend Lawrence, who did an excellent job of housesitting and caring for our three finicky cats. Our oldest feline required fluid injections which was no problem at all for him. In fact, we think Lawrence took such good care of our elderly cat that he looks better than when we left! We came home to a clean house with three kitties who acted like we hadn't been gone. They are looking forward to having Uncle Lawrence back soon when we take off again for a few days.
