“Kaitlyn was so amazing with our cat, Sunny! We were worried about leaving him alone for an extended period, but Kaitlyn showed up everyday and sent us picture of her engaging with Sunny. She even brought in our packages from outside. We would highly recommend Kaitlyn as a sitter!”


“Meagan is wonderful with our cat Murphy. He loves affection and she is always happy to give him lots of love. She is very reliable and has even checked on our mail and paper deliveries that were supposed to be held and brings them in when the hold isn't followed. Meagan is definitely our 'go to' person whenever we need to leave Murphy for a few days, or longer.”


“Haley was very attentive and took good care of my cat, especially considering we were not able to do an introduction before I left. She communicated well and sent lots of pictures which I greatly appreciate in a sitter.”


“Lily is amazing! She takes wonderful care of our pets and our home, and she communicates with us throughout her stay. She has a gentle nature that our dog and cats respond to. ❤️”


“Samantha took wonderful care of our cat while we were away for two weeks- and we would not hesitate hire her again! We came home to a happy well fed guy and a very clean house and litter box. Thanks so much, Samantha!”


About: I grew up with golden retrievers and then pugs later in life. From puppies to their final moments. I currently share life with a 3 year old Australian Shepherd named Lucy. I’ve learned a lot about working with high energy breeds. We took her through advanced on/off leash, obedience and behavioral training. Started when she was 6 months old and continue training everyday. I have a great love for dogs and seeing them happy and fulfilled! I know first hand how hard it can be to find someone you trust to care for your fur babies. I would love to build that connection and be a trusted resource. Also, if you’re ever looking for a dog trainer, I highly recommend Freedom K9 Academy! I work full-time, but have a pretty flexible schedule. Usually weekdays after 3:00pm is best, but I am open to discussing earlier times. Weekend times vary, but with enough notice, I can usually make it work! I love lists or notes if there are any special instructions. I am not able to bring your pet to my home, but I will always be respectful of your space.

“Our cats were well taken care of by Cassie. She is the next best cat lady when the owner cat lady is away. Thank you Cassie for the wonderful care! Pumpkin, Willow, Frank, Leo and Teddy”


About: Hi! I’m a dog-loving, outdoors-loving hiker who believes every pup deserves safe adventure, enrichment, and pure joy. I’m fully insured and certified in Dog First Aid and CPR. I keep safety front and center so your dog can explore confidently and come home happy and tired. I’ll handle pick up and drop off, send photo updates, and make sure you always know how your dog did on the trail. What sets me apart? I’m combining my love of recreation and dogs to offer weekend hiking adventures designed for smells, socialization, enrichment, fun, and real exercise. I keep groups intentionally small for safety and so I can give each pup personal attention. Prefer one-on-one time? Solo hikes are available—just ask. Every new client/pup starts with a free meet & greet so we can ensure a great fit. How my hikes work I pick up your pup, head to a dog-friendly trail and lead a 1.5 hr hike with frequent sniff breaks, water breaks, and practice trail etiquette. After the hike, I towel off muddy paws as needed, drop your dog back home, and share a quick summary with photos. My goal is a content, relaxed dog who’s mentally and physically satisfied. Safety and standards I’m insured and Dog First Aid/CPR certified, and I carry a trail kit (water, bowls, extra leashes, poop bags, basic first-aid supplies) on every outing. I choose routes and durations based on weather, terrain, and each dog’s conditioning, and I reschedule during unsafe conditions. Is your dog a good fit? Your pup should be up to date on vaccinations and on flea/tick prevention. They should be comfortable on leash, friendly with people and well-matched canine companions, and ride calmly in a vehicle. Active person going to school part time. Available for solo walks in your neighborhood but really looking to get some interest in small group or solo dog hikes. I try to cater to you and your pets needs as much as possible. I will be respectful in your home and communicate regularly so you know how your pet is doing.

“We really enjoyed working with Andrea from our first meet and greet through receiving her drop in cards while we were traveling internationally. During our meet and greet Andrea asked a lot of great questions and put us at ease with her experience. Our two cats were well taken care of! Will definitely rebook in the future. Thanks Andrea!!”


“Jessica B was a terrific cat sitter -- she even managed to lure my scaredy cat out from under the bed. She kept us up to date on his activities during the week with photos. Would highly recommend her as a reliable, cheerful cat sitter.”


“I must apologize for this review being so late. Chris was great, and we are happy we booked with him. Our family was on vacation, and Chris did daily check-ins, took photos, and my cat always greeted him. I would highly recommend Chris to any pet owner. He also brought in a package that was outside, so we really appreciated that as well. We would be happy to book with Chris again. Thank you, Chris, for a job well done. Chuck S. | Bow NH”


“This was my first time using Rover and I was really nervous to try it. We have a senior dog that doesn’t travel well and we usually have people come stay or check in on him, but none of them could do it. I searched Rover for people who had good reviews and repeat customers. Leilani agreed to help last minute and it was much appreciated. She checked on our senior guy twice while we were gone overnight, took care of his diaper, and cleaned up any messes he had. She also fed him. She sent pictures and communicated any problems. It looks like he didn’t want to get out of bed so she brought his food to him for one of the feedings, which was a super sweet way to make sure he got food. We would hire her again.”

I also have experience with amphibians, fresh water fish and reptiles; particularly bearded dragons, green tree frogs and African bull frogs. I have no problem feeding them, and cleaning or updating their tanks. I passionately care for animals to not only be taken care of but loved and happy! I would take care of your animals as if they were my own. You can trust me to communicate thoroughly and keep you updated throughout visits. I have an open free schedule! I am very flexible and willing to work with your time. I am available to come over early mornings and afternoons. I have 4 cats of my own, I care for them by having a clean apartment and everything they could need. I would do the same for your pets as well. I would make sure they are taken care of; fed, cleaned, spent time with

About: I am an avid dog lover looking to not only get your dog outside but help you while you’re at work so that they have interaction and exercise.

All of my kids are now graduating. I only have one in school so I do have time on my hands. I have two Frenchies that are very loving and social.

“Shelby is my go to for great cat care”


Marie E.
“Marie loves animals and finds joy in helping others! Her warm and loving personality and clear communication skills make her a real joy to work with. She has a lifetime of experience with common house pets (dogs and cats) and significant experience with fish, frogs, and reptiles (there's probably more I don't know about). She's the type of person who loves when owners leave detailed instructions but will communicate when she has questions. I was particularly impressed when Marie sent me pictures and daily updates of my pets and wasn't afraid to learn how to give my cat his medications. I would trust her with any of my animals because she always goes above and beyond, and I trust her in my home, too!”
