“Olivia's gentle and calm presence even won over my timid Natasha! I loved the photo she sent showing both Boris and his "sisfur" coming out to greet her! She was right on time, and posted photos of her visit- and my kitties were well taken care of. It's great to have someone local I can contact for drop in visits.”
“Darnell was great with our fur babies! He was super thorough and made sure everything was taken care of each visit. We felt so comforted knowing that, while we were away from home, Darnell was checking in on them, spending some time with them, and taking care of everything they needed. He was also quick to communicate if anything came up and we really appreciated that as well! It’s hard to find a pet sitter with whom you feel totally safe leaving your pets, but Darnell is definitely a sitter that I would request again after seeing how well he treated ours :)”
“Mark is a super responsible, resourceful, caring individual. He made sure to stop by before we went away for a thorough visit so all his questions were answered. We were worried about some weather coming in and blocking our driveway and Mark assured us he would make sure our kitty was taken a care of no matter what Mother Nature had in store! I highly recommend Mark to any pet owner wanting peace of mind while away from home.”
“If you close your eyes and imagine exactly the kind of person, service and situation you hoped to find using Rover, Dawn is it! Wonderful communication, happy animals and fun pictures everyday. If you are lucky enough to book Dawn, you’re in for peace of mind and happy animals.”
“Cheyanne took great care of our cat. She came to the house to meet with me and go over everything before I went away. While I was gone she left a note each day explaining what was done during her visit. I would recommend her to others and definitely plan on asked her to care for our cat next time I travel.”
“Ben and Laura are great! They took excellent care of Lemon and were perfectly respectable towards our property. It was a delight seeing how excited Lemon was to see them come by for their last visit. Who knew her tail could shake so fast?!”
“Kathryn took care of our rather antisocial and uncooperative cat during our vacation, coming twice a day to medicate her. It was not easy, but Kathryn was great about communicating with us and she creatively problem-solved to get the job done. We were super impressed with her reliability, patience and kindness. Highly recommended!! We are very grateful to her.”
“As anxious dog parents we had a great experience working with Leah. She was very communicative and worked well with our pups which helped a lot with our anxiety while away (5 total visits). Would definitely book again!”
“Larry took care of my two cats - separated because one is just here from the shelter and the two cats haven’t met yet - and did a great job. My older cat stopped eating (which he does sometimes when I leave) and Larry not only let me know immediately, but went out and bought him something tempting to eat. And, when I got home I saw that Larry had also brought my second cat a gift - a scratching board (he doesn’t seem to like the scratching post). Larry was also. able to give my older cat his medication in his food, which was key. He seemed to have a real rapport with both of them, which showed up in his photographs - which were fantastic. I recommend Larry highly for cat sitting.”
“Great, consistent communication, sent photos of my Kitty daily, along with updates. My cat is very skittish around people but Sue was eventually able to pet her, which is a big win.”
About: I raised/trained a puppy several years ago, and I've been pet sitting since I was 14. I am also a very active person, and I love running, walking, and playing outside with dogs. I have work shifts no more than a few hours on select days. If your dog cannot be alone for a few hours, I can almost certainly find a friend or family member to watch them while I am out. I am happy to house sit as well if you are on vacation. I will make sure your dog feels comfortable, well loved, and properly entertained. I am very trustworthy and diligent with regards to schedules and special instructions. If boarding, please bring an item from home that your dog feels connected to (could be a bed, favorite toy, blanket, etc).
About: We’ve had pets for over 20 years. One of us used to also pet sit as a side job. Because we are currently traveling on and off, we don’t have our own pets now but love to spend time with all animals. For the past three years, we’ve fostered dogs for a local NH animal shelter. We have experience with animals (our own and fosters) who have required medications and special care. We love to take the dogs for walks, and if they’re able, local hikes. We are home for most of the day. We are currently in between travels and so we can commit all of our time to your furry family member(s)! We can exercise them as little or as much as they require. We live in a condo without a fenced yard but are surrounded by great leashed walking and hiking locations. If you have a fenced yard we would be happy to run your dog in your familiar yard off leash or at a familiar dog park. We have a crate available for pups who prefer or require crating at night or when left alone briefly. We often drive to local fields, parks, rivers and other locations for walks.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have been caring for them since I was a young girl. They’ve always been a part of my family, so I’m comfortable with everything from dog walking to pet sitting, feeding, and even bathing. Whether it's playing with puppies or giving extra attention to senior dogs, I want to make sure each pet feels comfortable and loved. My schedule is pretty flexible! During the week, I’m available after 5 pm, mostly for dog walks. On weekends, I’m free all day and can help with dog walking, pet sitting, house sitting, or whatever your pet needs. I don’t have any dogs at home right now, but your dog will be treated like part of the family! I focus on creating a safe and comfortable environment where your dog can relax, play, and enjoy their time. I make sure to follow your pet’s routine and give them the love and attention they deserve.
About: Being a long time animal lover, I love spending my time walking and training dogs. I’ve worked at various animal hospitals, doggy daycares, and boarding facilities. I am willing to travel, and it would be a great perk if my 3 year old lab could come play or walk with your pup as well! My schedule is very flexible. I am willing to travel, and am open to schedule changes to work with your needs as well. I can do holidays as well as weekends with a planned notice. All I want is for your pet to feel comfortable and have a great time playing and/or going for a walk. Engaging shy/fearful dogs with toys and treats is always a great way to earn trust.
“We cannot say enough positive things about Valerie! We had a few rotations of sitters to cover the several weeks we were gone (family and a neighbor), and Valerie was definitely the most experienced of them all. Our one cat takes a pill daily, and while he takes it just fine for his mom, he wasn't taking it for the sitters. Valerie came up with safe, creative ways to get him to take his pill. She also left wonderfully detailed check-in notes and was very communicative. We'd highly recommend her if you want peace of mind that someone experienced and compassionate is taking care of your fur children!”
“Moriah was amazing. She stayed in contact with me while I was away and sent pictures daily so I could see my pet. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter for your pet.”

When looking for anyone to take care of any of your pets, you can put all your confidence and trust in Pete.”
