“We were so happy with Kimberly! She stayed at our home for a week and took great care of our dog and cat. She was reliable, attentive, and made us feel at ease while we were away. We’d definitely recommend her!”

About: Dog lover here! Providing dependable, active, and affectionate care. From puppy energy to easygoing senior strolls, I respect your dog’s specific habits, commands, and feeding schedules. I put safety safety first on every walk, lots of positive attention, and keep you updated with fun pictures and visit summaries while you're away. I have a reliable, consistent routine that gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care on evenings, weekends, and early mornings. Since I keep my service radius close to home, I can easily fit in drop-ins, feedings, walks, and playtime without feeling rushed. I make visiting and caring for your animals a dedicated part of my day! I live in Barnstead, but work in Portsmouth so don't me afraid to message me if you appear outside of my radius. Safety and clear communication are my top priorities. When visiting your home, I strictly follow all feeding, medication, leash and other guidelines to keep your pet safe and comfy. I ensure entryways, doors, and gates remain secure at all times, double-check that food and hazardous items are out of reach, and treat your home with respect. During every visit, I provide thorough updates with photos so you have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well-cared for.

“Betsy was a great babysitter for our dog and cat! Good communication.”

About: I am a very detail oriented individual who has loved raised animals since I was a child. I have experience with different types of dogs and personalities including rescues and spicy personalities. I myself own 3 dogs. 2 rescues and a French Bulldog. I consider myself someone who can easily gain trust with nervous or territorial dogs. I also have a lot of experience cats as well. I really like to listen to what the animal requires to give the best care for your fur babies. Currently, I work a full-time job 7-3:30pm. I am looking to do nights and weekends with the goal of going full-time. Currently weekends and last minute walks during the weekdays after 4:00 will work best. First and foremost my animals are my babies and I feel the same way about yours! I like to make sure that anyone whose animal I care for feels comfortable and all questions have been asked prior to care. If possible, I like to meet the dogs and owners ahead of time which allows the owners to see our interactions together to make sure it is a great fit. I will send photos and updates while giving reassurance to those who worry when not at home. My animals are my babies and yours will be too during care.

About: Growing up with a vet tech mom, I’ve been around animals my whole life and have always had a strong passion for animal care, especially dogs. I’ve had experience with dogs of all sizes, from extra large to small, as well as reactive dogs and working line breeds. I started pet sitting for family friends at a young age, which gave me experience caring for animals and understanding how important it is to treat every pet as an individual. I’ve also spent years training and working with my own dogs. At 11 years old, I completed my first Canine Good Citizen course and test with my dog, Ludo, and was the youngest person in New Hampshire to complete it that year. Today, I own and care for my 5 year old German Shepherd, Xena, who I’ve trained and worked with closely for years. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time available for pet care throughout the day. I’m able to provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and attention based on each pet’s individual routine and needs. I’m also happy to accommodate different schedules and care instructions from owners. I want every pet I care for to feel safe, happy, and loved. I’ve been around animals my whole life and have had a lot of hands on experience with all different kinds. I truly love animals and enjoy spending time with them, whether it’s going for walks, playing, or just giving them attention and company. I’ll always treat your pets like my own and make sure they’re well cared for while you’re away.

“Bonnie was an incredible pet sitter. She communicated with us throughout our vacation and took exceptional care of our dog, cats and home. We will definitely be booking her again. It can be a challenge to find a person who cares for your animals the way you do, Bonnie is a gift!”

“Brianna kept me informed on a regular and incidental basis, not only with text messages embellished with pictures. She was very responsive. I will be asking for her services in the future.”

About: I have a lifetime of experience taking care of dogs large and small. Full dog friendly home, I will match your desires and interests with your fur baby, allow animals on furniture and love to be active outdoors. Close to nearby lakes for swim fun, trails for hiking, and fenced backyard to allow plenty of playtime. Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. Each day, I make sure your pet has fresh food and water, gets regular exercise, and receives plenty of attention and affection. I also spend time grooming, cleaning up after them, and checking that they are healthy and comfortable. On a weekly basis, I clean their bedding and living areas, restock supplies, and make time for longer walks or play sessions. Keeping up with these responsibilities helps ensure your pet stays happy, healthy, and well cared for. I provide a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment for pets in my home. My home has a securely fenced yard where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor play and exercise. If requested by the owner, I can crate pets to maintain their normal routine or provide a quiet, secure space. Inside, pets have access to a large dog bed, and they are welcome on the furniture if that is consistent with their family’s rules and preferences. I strive to follow each pet’s established routine, including feeding schedules, exercise, and any special care instructions, to help them feel relaxed, comfortable, and at home during their stay.

“Charles was a Godsend!!! His communication was thorough and as frequent as I needed (along with pictures). He won over my cat (not always an easy task!) and was awesome with my dog. My dog showed his first sign of being ill just as I was leaving. As the symptoms grew worse, Charles took him to urgent care, waiting 2 hours to be seen, then followed all of the vet's instructions, including going out and buying the food items recommended, cooking those items, and administering 4 different medications daily. All while keeping his calm, accepting demeanor. He also left my house clean and well cared for. I don't know when my next trip will be, but I'll definitely request Charles again!!!”

“Again, Sarah was wonderful in taking care of Lucy. She was available for my last minute request and managed everything well. She even watered my plants! Sarah always goes above and beyond. Lucy always seems very happy and content upon my return. I would highly recommend her.”

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!

“Erin was phenomenal with our 13 year old senior! She was so thoughtful, checking in with photos and updates and we’re excited to book with her again soon!”

Carrie R.

“Amanda did such a great job taking care of our 3 rescue pitties! We have one puppy and two seniors, each with their own unique traits and needs. Amanda did a phenomenal job at accommodating their needs and keeping them comfy at home while we were away. We appreciate her attentiveness to detail and her communication skills. We will be using her again in the future and highly recommend her for taking care of your babies!”

Gabriella S.

“We were very happy with Lee! While we were away for the weekend, Lee stayed at our home watching our dog, Roxy. We received pictures and updates daily. When we returned, everything looked great! We appreciate Lee taking good care of Roxy and would have Lee dog sit again.”

About: I am a full-time working professional. For the past three years, I have fostered dogs with diverse personalities in my free time. I primarily have experience with Shiba Inu's; they can often have aloof and stubborn personalities. I also have an experience having a rescue cat since she was 5 months old. I am a full-time professional who works 8:00AM to 5:30PM. I will have availability after work and on the weekends; however, it could change based on other commitments. I have a cat who has free range of the home. However, any time there is another animal in my residence, they will be separated.

“Courtney did a wonderful job caring for our two dogs while we were away! We came home to two happy dogs and a house that was clean and tidy. She responded quickly and kept us in the loop the entire time. I would highly recommend, Courtney.”

“Jessica really helped me out of a bind. She offered to com to my home to meet Zoey at 9 pm the night before a trip when another sitter flaked out on me. She stayed at my home and everything was in place when I arrived home. Would definitely use her again!”

Sirena L.

“Brianna was wonderful. She was very flexible in our needs. She visited twice before we left and came to our house to be inside with the dogs when we left. She was so good to our dogs. I could see on the ring camera that they loved her. Every time their tails were wagging and they were looking for her attention. She took them i On walks daily and fed them which is a project because of medicine their in, she is reliable, very nice person. And you could tell she liked dogs and was very good to them. She communicated every day with us. She left the house cleaned, which was wonderful. I would highly recommend Brianna as she was great.”

Linda M.

“We had a wonderful experience with Nikera! She stayed in our home while we were away and took great care of our pets and home. She kept us updated throughout the trip with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our home was well cared for, and it was clear everyone received lots of attention and love. She also went above and beyond by staying late to accommodate our travel schedule, which we truly appreciated. Her flexibility and kindness made a stressful travel day much easier. She was communicative, reliable, and easy to work with from start to finish. We really appreciated knowing our pets and home were such good hands while we were away and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”

“Lani was great taking care of our two senior dogs that have special needs. One is blind, requires medications, and wound care; the other one can’t hear. Lani handled it all with ease and professionalism, communicated well, and the dogs seem very comfortable. Highly recommend!”
