House Sitting Contoocook

“Dawn was amazing!! We could go on and on about the safe and friendly care that Dawn gave our two doggos while we were out of town but what really was the most comforting was the detail and picture/video updates of how they were doing throughout our two day trip. We would definitely recommend Dawn to others and will certainly be booking again!”

About: Everyone always asks me why dogs are so nice to me and quiet and I’m not really sure but I love all animals! So I hope you can trust me with yours! I work full time but after work I’m always available usually and on weekends. I’m very lenient towards everyone’s schedules so take your time! Don’t worry I will only be going to peoples homes to pet sit or walk because I live in an apartment that doesn’t allow dogs unfortunately maybe one day when I get my own house though!

“Faustine was great! She came over for a drop in visit for our dog Boyd. She was punctual, sent an update, and even spent time with our cat. Highly recommend!”

About: Lifelong cat and dog lover with experience caring for rescue cats of all personalities. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and provide loving, personalized care for every cat and puppy. I’ve been an animal lover my entire life, growing up with rescue cats and two Saint Bernards. I currently have five cats of my own and truly understand how much our pets mean to us. I work full-time, but my schedule gives me mornings available for walks and pet visits, including early morning appointments. I’m dependable, patient, attentive, and will treat your pets like they’re my own. I’d love the opportunity to give your pets companionship, exercise, and loving care while you’re away or at work. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I keep pets supervised, secure, and comfortable while following each owner’s instructions and routine. During walks, I use safe routes and always keep pets properly secured. I’m attentive to their behavior, surroundings, and needs, and I treat every pet with the same patience and care I give my own five cats.

About: My experience spans from all age ranges dogs. I have spent time with young puppies still learning to sit and be comfortable on the leash to older dogs that need a little help with stairs. My schedule is pretty flexible but might change in the near future. I'm available anytime throughout the week and can work out a good schedule that's best for all parties involved. Whether if it's inside or out, I'll make sure your pets will be safe and secure at all times while you are away.

“Hollyn took exceptional care of my three dogs for two days while I was away. She put in the time to get to know each of my three dog’s personalities and offered to meet with us multiple times before the date of the booking to allow the dogs to get to know her! She took the time to read through all of the dogs’ care instructions and the home rules and made sure to ask me any questions she had before I left. She kept good communication and sent me pictures daily. Hollyn made sure my dogs got lots of outdoor time and that they were loved and cared for.”

“Celina is great with Lila. We loved the pictures of them hanging out together inside and out. And Lila was obviously in love with Celina by the time we arrived home”

“Excellent experience! This was the first time leaving our pets, two of them elderly, with someone other than family. We came home to relaxed happy pets! Christin “Sal” checked in with us daily and let us know all was well. I will most certainly use Sal again!!”

About: I have been caring for pets (of all kinds- dogs, cats, birds, reptiles) for as long as I can remember, whether they be my own or my friends and family’s. I’ve done petsitting professionally through River and similar apps for about 7 years now. I have several regular clients in the area and I just love being a part of so many pets lives in this way!! :) I’m currently working full-time in downtown Concord, but I have some flexibility with my schedule and I am more than happy to work with you to find an arrangement that works best for everyone. I can offer mid-day potty breaks or work remotely when needed to ensure your pets are well cared for & happy. I also offer a rate reduction of $35/night if we find that additional drop-ins are needed. I’m an experienced house sitter and I take respect & privacy seriously. I’m very clean and make it a point to leave every home even better than I found it. I treat every home- and every pet- exactly as I would want someone to treat my own.

About: I have dog sat and walked dogs for friends, family, and neighbors for the last eight years and approximately two years ago adopted my American Bully, Cane Corso mix named Clementine. I even trained her to be a therapy dog through a lot of training and education. I am comfortable working with rescues as well. I love working with all breeds, but specifically I love working with bully mixes too!! I am comfortable with medication administration, as well as working with dogs that have recently had surgery. My dog had TPLO surgery and took six months to recover so I’m willing to support in that process as well! I also have experience working with rescue dogs. I currently work full-time as a social worker, but I am looking to help with pet sitting on the weekends or dog walks earlier in the morning. In my home, my dog is on a strict schedule which includes brushing her teeth twice a day, administering medication in the morning, a structured walk and enrichment. For your pup, I can do whatever is needed!! my dog is also crate trained, and has been training to be a therapy dog. I am comfortable with dogs that are reactive to other dogs as well. I am able to do boarding in my home but your dog would have to be comfortable with my dog so we would have to do a meet and greet. I do not have a fun fenced in backyard, but I live on a rail trail and take my dog on walks there often. I am also comfortable with dropping in visits, walks, and overnight pet sitting.

“Melissa is INCREDIBLE! She is so good with my babies, sends me updates, and I just know they are safe with her. Leaving town is so much less stressful now with her!”

About: I have cared for pets for more than 18 yrs in both Fla and New England. Always willing to travel with you or to your home. I am able to schedule pet sits in advance as needed. Always reliable loving and caring and aware of pets needs. I love the pets. I offer care in your home as well as water plants etc. I will do whatever is asked of me to do for the pets and the families.

“Jenny took wonderful care of our dog Millie while staying at our house. She left the house super clean and Millie seemed very happy when we returned. We are booking her again and would definitely recommend her to anyone!”

About: I have many years of experience working with different types of animals. I have previously worked in a boarding facility/daycare as well as doing my own personal pet care for over 5 years. I have experience with overnight care, puppies, kittens, adults and seniors. I also have experience with animals with special needs. I know how to medicate whether it is pills or injecting insulin. If staying at my place the pet is welcome anywhere in the house, and I will let them feel like they are home. I am always around when pet sitting, and if I’m watching a dog and I have to run an errand, they are always allowed to come along with me. They will be treated just as you would treat them. unless I am traveling out of state for work, I am working from home, so the time of your pets stay always consists of 24/7 care I stick to a routine, but I also follow your pet’s schedule, feeding time/bathroom breaks, etc, their stay here will be treated as if they are at home

“Abby has a kind and calm way, and our dog was settled immediately staying in her care. She is a fantastic communicator and our dog had a wonderful time.”

About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life and have hands-on experience caring for them through family, friends, and neighbors. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, basic bathing, and making sure pets feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I’m patient, attentive, and always try to understand each pet’s personality so they feel comfortable and relaxed with me. I’m lucky enough to do pet care full-time, so your dog or cat will be my main priority all day long. Since I don't have a typical 9-5, I can basically be a 'stay-at-home pet parent' for your furry family member. My day usually starts early with a long walk and breakfast, followed by plenty of playtime and snuggles throughout the afternoon. I’m rarely away from the house for more than a quick errand, so your pet won't be left alone for long stretches. I really pride myself on keeping their routine exactly like it is when you’re home. I specialize in caring for pets in the comfort of their own home, where they feel most secure. I’m extremely respectful of your space and follow all house rules and safety protocols to the letter. Because I don’t have a fenced yard at my own place, I prefer to focus my energy on yours—ensuring doors are always locked and pets are never left unsupervised in unsecured areas. I prioritize high-quality one-on-one time, follow strict feeding and medication schedules, and love sending daily photo updates so you can see how much fun we’re having!

“Michael took care of our 2 german shepherds and our bengal cat while we were on vacation, he was excellent to work with and made sure our dogs got their medications and play time. He had a genuine caring for our pets and is studying to become a vet. I would not hesitate to use him again in the future.”

“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’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember, from smaller pets like dogs and cats when I was younger to today where I help care for goats and alpacas on my family farm. I also have a young puppy of my own that I’ve been training, so I’m very familiar with routine building and patience when it comes to animals! Currently I am a college student so I am very flexible to work over breaks when I home whether that be weekends or weekdays, day or night! Though I am not available to care for animals in my own home, I will make it a priority to make them as comfortable as possible in yours! Wheather that be crating them, sticking with routines such as feeding, walking, or any other special instructions you leave me, so that your pet can feel consistent and comfortable while you are gone!

“Darwin was prompt and is very energetic. He sent pictures and a video from the walk he took my dog on. He is full of ideas to keep pups entertained.”
