22. Katie M.

“Katie was exceptional with our kitties for an extensive trip away from home. She came to the house 2x per day and sent photos with every visit. She played with them and groomed them beautifully. We are so grateful for her and look forward to working with her again! Our kitties love her.”


23. Shauni & Connor M.

“Shauni and Connor were absolutely wonderful. They were very communicative and even sent pictures when they were taking care of my little man. I highly recommend them and would definitely book with them again.”


24. Olivia R.

“Olivia was hired to let my pup out. She went above and beyond. My guy has some barking and nervous behaviors. I can't believe the positive impact she has had on Sammy. I highly recommend her. He went from disliking 98% of men, to taking a biscuit out of a man's hand! The barking has hugely improved. He gets all excited when I mention her name and dances around . Olivia is always on time, thoughtful, trustworthy, knowledgeable, and one of a kind. I highly recommend her. You won't be disappointed, neither will you fur baby/ babies.”

About: I have been dog sitting since I was 15 years old. For four years I dog sat for a wonderful family with three shit-zus before I moved to New Hampshire. I have experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes. I had a senior dog when I was a teenager, so dogs with special medications/diets are no problem. I’m still figuring out what I want to do with my life and I’m interested in working with animals. I believe meeting and caring for different animals will help me get a good feel for whether animals are a good career choice for me, or better left as friends to care for in my off time. I have no animals currently and would love to get my fuzzy friend fix in. I work in an office with a flexible work from home schedule. I have open availability nights and weekends to care for your sweet pets. I will always greet your fur baby with lots of love, in whichever way it is wanted whether it be pets, kisses, hugs, or a treat.


34. Summer S.
“I recommend Summer S. as a responsible and loving pet caregiver. She has been caring for our pets, which include one cat, two dogs, and six chickens, for the past sixteen years. She adores animals, and is considered the “animal-whisperer” in our family. She takes on the responsibility of making sure all animals are fed and receiving appropriate amounts of attention. When she is home she takes on the task of trimming Daisy the Cat’s nails and giving her her daily thyroid medicine. She has also taken the dogs to the vet and the groomer when asked, as well as being in charge of them when home alone for extended periods. She has also befriended the chickens, with her being the first person in the household whom they approached and sat on when she sat with them. I would recommend Summer S. to anyone looking for a pet sitter or walker.”

About: I’ve had a lifelong love for animals and years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve grown up with pets and have been a dedicated pet owner for several years, giving me a deep understanding of their needs and personalities.

Whether it’s playtime, a long walk, or just some comforting company, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for.

Feel free to reach out—I’m happy to discuss availability and make a plan that works for you and your pet! I understand that letting someone into your home—and trusting them with your beloved pet—is a big deal. I treat every home with the utmost respect and care, just as I would my own. I’m clean, responsible, and committed to creating a calm, safe environment where your pet feels secure and at ease. You can count on regular updates, honest communication, and a genuine dedication to making sure your home stays just the way you left it—and your pet feels loved every step of the way.

We know that Amy provides the absolute best care for our dog and we can enjoy our time away feeling comfortable that he is in safe hands with Amy.”
