“Ashley was quick to respond to inquiries about possible boarding dates. She offered a meet and greet however it did not work with my tight schedule. Ashley spoke on the phone with me to get to know my dog’s likes and needs. She was genuine and communicated clearly. While we were away she sent several updates and photos showing how my dog was settling in to her home. She made us feel at ease and we could tell our dog was snuggled and loved on while In Ashley’s care. I highly recommend Ashley!”

About: I have been a dog lover since I got my dog at age 5 and have been caring for her ever since. I will run around outside with your dog or take them for a ride to the beach. I enjoy going for long walks with pets. Would love to care for any age or breed of dog or cat. Have pet sitting experience with both dogs and cats. I currently live in downtown Dover, New Hampshire and work in sales so can be a bit flexible.I look forward to being able to meet and tend to many different types of dogs. I work in sales so will be out of the house a few hours a day but I’m flexible, usually free on weekends all day. At a clients home I will be a very cautious sitter. I will follow instructions and make sure pets are comfortable and happy and give them lots of love and exercise if needed!

“Julia welcomed our puppy Riley into her home for 6 days. It was our first experience with Rover, and bringing Riley to someone's home outside of our family. We were amazed at how Riley quickly became comfortable! He was welcomed by Julia and soon learned the daily routine. Julia sent us tons of pictures - daily walks, playing with her dog, cuddling and napping. Her knowledge of puppies and training is very deep, and her quiet way was very reassuring to us, and for Riley. She even shared maps of her favorite trails so we could continue to take riley to some of his now favorite walks. We look forward to booking with Julia in the near future. She truly is a 5 star person!”
“Colleen was amazing from the beginning to the end. Very personable and friendly. She asked all the right questions and made me feel so comfortable leaving my baby with her. She listened to instructions and was very communicative with me during the whole thing. I even was able to drop him off earlier than planned and picked him up later with no problem. I would 💯 recommend her to anyone needing dog/cat care. Thank you so much for taking amazing care of Scotti while I was away. I will definitely reach out again! 😊”

Emily was amazing as usual! I feel very comfortable leaving Buoy with her for extended periods of time. She is attentive and informative at all times, and full of positive energy. Buoy loves all his pup friends when he visits Emily and all the great outdoor space to romp!
