House Sitting in Country Knolls

“Angela was a fantastic sitter for our best friends. She jumped in on short notice and checked in with us regularly to let us know how things were going. It is such a relief to know we had 4 less things to worry about! Thank you, Angela!”

“Lydia is great. She is very professional. She met my dogs beforehand to make them feel comfortable and also took the time to learn their personalities. She spent the whole day with them which made them feel really wanted. We appreciated her spending so much time with them and caring for them!”

Margo W.

“Great reliable person to work with. Lots of communication back and forth between us. We got pictures and lots of updates on how the dogs were doing. My dogs were spoiled with lots of affection and I would hire her again in a heartbeat.”

“Michelle went above and beyond with her care of Paisley and with staying at my house. She gave me daily updates which made my trip away enjoyable knowing that Paisley was well taken care of and happy.”

“Lauren was great! I came home and my home looked great and my 11 year old dog was happy, playful & not at all stressed. I can confidently recommend Lauren!”

“Drusila took excellent care of our two pups! When we dropped them off, her dog Parker was sweet and welcoming to our little ones. We really loved her updates and pictures by texts. She took them out on walks and was thoughtful to put paw balm on their little paws to protect them from the salt! We were happy that she seemed to enjoy our pups. We will definitely ask Drusila to take care of them next time we go away!”

Kara R.

“Mary-Kate is a kind and professional sitter. She was eager to learn about our ducks and took great care with them and our dog. We’d definitely book her again!”

“Evelyn was fantastic with my senior dog, and pup that can be lazy and have spurts of energy. Additionally, she was great with our cats, giving very detailed updates throughout the trip. I really appreciated the level of care, the attention to details, and the extra mile she went to ensure a smooth trip for not only her but myself. Incredibly grateful to have found her!”

About: My grandfather and mother both have an animal science background so I was raised with a knowledge of animals and how special they are from a very early age. Because of this, I care deeply for the well being of your pet and treat it as my own. I think dogs represent the best of human kind. I believe that animals, specifically dogs have an innate power to heal and connect that is awe-inspiring. This ability I witnessed first hand growing up with a golden retriever and a German shepherd, the later becoming a therapy dog and certified pet partner for my family. Lastly, I have taken care of dogs of all ages and breeds from 1 month to 16 years, from 15-130+lbs, and done some by house sitting, walking, and boarding. I love all dogs, but am partial to bigger ones because that it was I grew up with since age 10. I currently work full time so I am available after or before business hours during the weekdays (9am-5pm, Monday-Friday) or anytime on the weekends to walk, visit with or house/dog sit. I can commute from anywhere in the metro Portsmouth region so dog/house-sitting is something I can do any day, most weeks. I will do my best to make your dog feel like nothing has changed in their own space (your home). On walks and during play visits, I will make sure they are comfortable, constantly watching body language for anxiety, fear, and exhaustion, etc. and will let their behavior dictate the pace, duration, where we go, and when bathroom breaks are needed. I treat walk and play time as their time and I am just there to make sure they have the most enjoyable time possible, while protecting their safety and health.

“Stephanie really understood how nervous I was to leave Baxter as well as his attachment to me. She took the time to send me pics and Baxter was snuggling her even before we left. I was able to enjoy my time away with no worries”

Maria R.

“Cara was wonderful with my dog! She sent me updates, followed instructions I provided amd left the house spotless. I’d definitely have her back again.”

Erin R.

“Jenna took AMAZING care of our babies and home. She treated them like her own and we were so relieved knowing she was there while we were gone.”

Kelsey O.

“I highly recommend Maria. She is trustworthy, responsive and reliable. She contacted me when Molly was shaking due to fireworks in our neighborhood to make sure this is typical. 8 forgot to warn her and was very happy she reached out to me. Molly had a wonderful time with her and was not as excited to see me as I expected. (because she was content with Maria). This was my first time with a house sitter and I was so pleased to return home with my house as clean as I left it. I will be using her again.”
