House Sitting in Derry

About: I grew up with dogs and cats my whole life. While this is my first time pet sitting professionally, I’m very comfortable with animals and take their care seriously. I have experience trimming cat claws, and I’m confident handling both playful and shy pets with patience and care. You can trust me to treat your furry family members like my own! I work remotely from home M - T & Th - Friday. I’m free on the weekends. I am happy to stop by to check in with your pets, feed, walk, and give medications. I am also able to stay your house as well. I treat every pet and home with the same respect and care I’d want for my own. I follow instructions closely, keep the space clean and secure, and make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I also like to meet with pet owners beforehand to learn about their pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so I can provide the best possible care.

“Stephanie is an excellent dog sitter. She is not only reliable and responsible, but she has very good instincts with the dogs themselves. I say this as a dog trainer of 20 years. My younger dog Scout, is somewhat fearful of strangers and Stephanie did a wonderful job of winning him over in almost record time. I would say about 15 minutes! She takes direction well, which is important with fearful dogs, and has a natural calm demeanor which is also helpful. She recently stayed with my two English Shepherds for 4 days and they clearly had a great time and were well cared for. I recommend Stephanie very highly.”

“Rihana is literally the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. Our dog Indy clearly loved her and was spoiled while we were gone. She took her on multiple walks and played with her outside and sent tons of pictures. She also left our house cleaner than when we left. Would 100% recommend to anyone. Thank you Rihana! 😊”

“This was my first experience with having someone from Rover house sit but will looking to keep booking Scout! She treated my pets with the same amount of love and was sure to send plenty of pictures while I was away. She made sure to ask about their schedule, preferences, and medications. I have a fairly reactive 65lb pound dog and she was walked with no issues which was a big relief for myself. Would definitely recommend for booking!”

“Great communication and taking care of the dogs. I highly recommend him..”

“Hannah is wonderful! Our puppy loved her. I was worried she'd whine and cry, but slnit at all - she had a blast, behaved well, and even learned a new trick from her new friend. Hannah's a lovely girl, very friendly and kind, and knows what she's doing with dogs 100%. Super recommended!”

“Tiffany is the best! The pups love her and she does an amazing job watching the house too. She will always be our go to sitter!”

Rebecca P.

“Wren is phenomenal. He went above and beyond providing care for our dog while we were gone on a family vacation. My dog is visibly sad that Wren is no longer hanging out with him since our return. Wren comes with our highest recommendations- if you are looking for a dependable, experienced and kind hearted care giver for your pet, he is your guy.”

“I really can't say enough about April!! She sent me daily photos and updates. I hate having to leave our puppy, but never worried once that he was in good hands!! I will check her availability first before even planning time away! Thank you so much again April!!”

Melissa D.

“Christine was absolutely wonderful! I have a senior dog and a quirky dog and she took care of them exactly how they needed! I was able to enjoy myself knowing they were in great hands. It was like having a trusted family member watching them.”

Pamela P.

“Nicole was great! We ended up losing water right before her stay but she was very flexible and was still able to stay! We finally were able to leave our dogs and home with peace of mind! Thanks Nicole.”

About: Hi there! My name is Allison, and I'm excited to share that I’m opening up my schedule to take on more pet sitting clients! 🐾 Caring for animals has always been my passion, and I’ve been pet sitting for about six years now. Over the past two years, I’ve grown a loyal base of repeat clients, and with my schedule opening up a bit, I’m ready to welcome more furry friends into my routine! I'm currently in school studying to become a veterinary technician and also work at an animal hospital — so you can trust that your pets are in caring, capable hands. Whether it's playtime, long walks, snuggles, or special care needs, I'm all about making sure your pets feel safe, loved, and happy while you're away. At home, I have two energetic dogs and two sweet cats of my own, so I understand how much your pets mean to you — they’re family. I’d love the chance to meet your pups (or cats!) and help keep their tails wagging while you're busy or out of town. Hi there! I wanted to share a bit more about my availability and services for pet sitting and drop-in visits. For in-home dog sitting, I’m primarily available Friday through Sunday, as those are the days I have off from my job at an animal hospital in Londonderry. I find weekends are ideal for pet sitting since I can spend more quality time with your pets and give them my full attention. That said, I’m also open to weekday bookings — I just like to be transparent about my schedule. I work Monday through Thursday with shifts from 10:00 AM to 6:30 PM, except for Wednesdays, when I work 7:30 AM to 3:30 PM. If you're located near my workplace, I do get a one-hour break during the day and can check in around noon, which can be a great option if your pets are comfortable being alone for a few hours. Services & Pricing: * 30-minute drop-in visits: $20 per visit * 3 or more visits in one day: Discounted to $50 total instead of charging over 60 * In-home sitting: Starts at $50 per night Pricing may vary slightly depending on the number of pets or special care needs, but I’m always happy to work with you to create a plan that suits your pets and your budget. My goal is to make sure your animals receive loving, reliable care while keeping things affordable for you. If you have any questions or would like to discuss a customized plan, feel free to reach out — I’d love to connect and meet your furry family! I take safety very seriously, at my home I have a fenced in yard it is short though so any dogs who could jump or have a history with being a little mischievous stay on a 15 foot lead. I am insured as well! If the stay is at your home then I follow your rules to the best I possibly can to keep your pup safe and happy at all times!

“Erin took great care of our Shepherd mix Trekker and our home over the Thanksgiving holiday. Trekker has never seemed as relaxed and comfortable after a pet sitting experience. She was very well cared for and the house was immaculate. Will definitely use her again!”

About: I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember! Friends and family have relied on me to watch their furry friends when they aren’t around. I grew up with dogs. I frequently help with my families dog. We have a bloodhound police K9 and a Weimaraner. I work remote & I can travel pretty easily to help with dog sitting, walking or just drop ins! Excited to meet some new furry friends :) I currently do not have a puppy of my own but back home I have 2 dogs. I work from home so it is easy for me to take breaks for feeding, walking, playing…you name it. The days that I’m available to help I’m home all day. Your fur baby will never be left alone and will always have something fun to do! As i've mentioned before I do work remotely so I will always have an eye on your pet. I also make a point to discuss with you as the pets owner what your animal likes, doesn't like, needs ect

About: Hi there! I'm Nicole, and I am offering pet and house care services. I am 26 years old from Derry and I have a ton of experience with dogs, as well as growing experience with cats and chickens! I love being able to create a strong bond with these animals, and your babies will get so much love while you're away. If you need help with anything - from delivering insulin injections, to vet aftercare, to just playing with them when you can’t - I can help you out! I'm currently finishing my master's degree and decided to take a breath from the position I was working, so this summer I have an open schedule with only one week blocked off. I have my own transportation and I am prioritizing my pet and house care! I am unable to offer care for pets in my own home at this time. When I come to your home, I will follow any instructions you leave and I do my best to keep things the way you have them or would like them. If I am staying at your home, I can also clean as requested and I will always clean up after myself. It will always be only me in the home and around animals unless I request otherwise. I am a quiet person and keep to myself for the most part, and I like to limit my electricity use when in someone else's home.

“Laurita is a gem! She was very responsible, took good care of my elderly dog, Diego, and kept in close contact with me while I was away. She navigated an issue at my house well and was helpful when I had a service person come by. And when I returned home after two weeks, my house and outdoor plants looked great! I trust Laurita and am glad to have found her. And my 14.5 year old fur baby is happy too.”

About: Hi everyone! My name is Sam & I am so excited to potentially help you and your family with all your dog/pet needs! 🥰 I grew up always having dogs in the house and have been around other animals for most of my life (worked on a farm through high school). I currently have a 6 y/o GSD Winston, who I’ve had since he was just a puppy! Because of this, I am very comfortable with puppies, large/working breeds, & reactive/anxious dogs. I use an e-collar on Winston regularly so if your pup uses one or requires it, no need to fear I am a pro! I’m 30 y/o and live in Londonderry with my boyfriend. I have the extra time and would be honored to get to know you and your pups and help any way I can! I have a full time job in the city but the schedule provides me with so much free time during the week. I get my schedule for the week every Thursday for the following Friday-Thursday. I’m WFH almost guaranteed 3-4 days a week not including the weekends! And most days that I do have work I am back home by noon so I am very flexible and can make most anything work! My boy Winston is my world. He gets the love & structure he deserves and needs to thrive every single day, rain or shine. Rest assured I would treat your dogs with the utmost respect and love as I know how special they are to every family 🥰 I look forward to seeing what works best for you and your pup, whether it’s walking, playing ball, snuggly time, etc!

“Jennifer was caring and respectful of our wishes with the care of our pets. The daily photos of them having fun together was reassuring. I highly recommend Jennifer with the responsibility of caring for your pet family.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for years as a side job. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and love on their pets while they are away. I love both dogs and cats and I have had different pets of my own. I currently just have a kitten now. I love to be active and walk dogs on long walks or play fetch with them. Most pets usually feel comfortable with me fast and we get along great. I don’t have pets of my own right now, so I’m available full-time and can also do overnight stays if needed. At the moment, I’m focusing on house sitting. The way I like to care for pets is with a calm and positive energy. I allow a natural connection to form where they can trust me and I keep up their routine so they feel comfortable.

About: I’ve grown up around animals ever since I was born! Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe/groom, play, and administer/provide any medical needs. I have experience with a wide range of animals with various behaviors especially dogs & horses. I have experience in daycare/boarding settings where I’ve cared for multiple dogs at once. I do work full-time but I do have availability before & after my shifts and sometimes even during if you are local to my job. However, I have full availability on my days off! I do not care for pets in my own home but am more than happy to care for them in your own! This is also usually a lot less stressful for your pet as well!
