“Enzo loved his time at Joe’s for daycare. He came home super tired and played with the other pups quite a bit it seems. Lots of photos and info on his Rover card was awesome!”
“Sam & Thomas took excellent care of our dogs. They kept us updated with lovely photos and detailed information, which made us feel very comfortable and reassured. I believe our dogs had a wonderful time playing with their dogs, as they were happily exhausted and slept almost the entire time after coming home. Highly recommend their service!”
“Our pup had the best time with Greta!! She came home super tired and happy :) Greta was great with communication and kept us updated with pictures and videos throughout the day. Will definitely book again!”
“Kim came to pick Numbers up from my wedding and helped her stay still in photos. I was thrilled to send the dog with her because I knew she would be safe and well cared for. When we came to pick her up the next morning was happy and even a little tired from playing.”
“Julie-Ann was amazing with Giddy! We did a little meet up before his first day of doggy daycare and it was great. Giddy also enjoyed spending time with her dog and kids. He practically ran out of my car and into her home every morning! Great communication and lots of photo updates every day. Highly recommend! 😊”
“She was flexible, met us halfway between where we were staying and her place, communicated perfectly, was on time, and sent many photos. Atlas came home exhausted and happy. Would easily book again.”

About: My services have been updated for my 07.01.25 move from Sunapee to Andover. I have been a cat or dog owner most of my life & a pet sitter for several years. I have experience with a variety of breeds, personalities, ages & health needs. I am available for Housesitting in your home or Boarding & Day Care in my home. I only care for 1 family's pets in my home at a time. I don't typically do Drop-Ins, but can consider requests within 5 miles of my home. I live in Andover & work predominately from home, so your pets have my attention full time. For my long time employment in Disability Services I have been CPR, First Aid and Medication Administration trained as well as Criminal Background and Motor Vehicle Record checked.
About: I strive to provide a structured environment for day care as well as boarding. I have experience with pet dogs, as well as working dogs and high energy breeds. I am available to provide care for your dog(s) in my house, and can offer the following services for your pet: -Individual walks/runs -Swimming adventures -Swimming in our inground pool (Texas only) -Basic training (obedience/manners) -Play time All dogs will be cared for individually and separately- I will not have your dog out with any other dogs while they are in my care. I accept a max of 3 dogs per day to ensure that I can allocate proper time and attention to each dog. I work from home, and am available 24/7 to give your dog the individual attention they need. Let me know your goals- whether it's working on basic obedience training, incorporating more exercise into your dog's schedule, or simply having a day care/boarding location that provides a level of structure without adding other dogs into the mix. This can be especially beneficial for dogs who are reactive, as well as senior dogs who are not necessarily interested in playing with other dogs. Any dogs being boarded, or coming for doggy daycare will have some time spent in a crate during the day/overnight. They will be given individual attention, exercise and play time.
“Katherine did an amazing job watching our two dogs for daycare while we were on vacation. She kept in constant communication, sent adorable videos of the dogs playing and was very accommodating. I would definitely recommend Katherine and would use her again!”
“I left my two baby puppies with Isabella and her family for a whole day, and they had a great time! Isabella ensured that they were always safe and had quality time outside. After a muddy play day, Isabella even went the extra mile and washed them, as well as taking care of one of my puppy's wounds. I highly recommend Isabella as a pet sitter - she is incredibly caring!”
“Effie was responsive and it worked out great to have my dog spend the day with her, even though I asked only the night before. I was able to go kayaking with peace of mind and I knew Ruby was enjoying herself. She was relaxed when I picked her up and I can tell she had fun! Thank you Effie!”
“We are so grateful for Jane’s care of Teddy while we were on vacation in NH. On our second day of day care, Teddy walked right into her house without hesitating, showing us he already felt at home. We appreciated the pictures and updates and would not hesitate to book Jane again!”
“Peter and Sarah are very knowledgeable and companionate people. They have a ton of experience working with all dogs. They took care of my large dog and brought him to two parks. Cannot ask for kinder better people to watch your pet!”
