“Shauna is a wonderful dog walker—so warm, kind, and caring. My dogs instantly felt comfortable around her and absolutely love her company. It’s such a comfort knowing they’re in good hands. Highly recommend her!”
“Drew has truly been amazing at taking care of our little puppy ! She has been very easy to communicate with and very flexible. Given that our schedules change frequently. She gives us updates on Callaway and even offered extra help when Callaway was sick. Can’t thank her enough!”
About: I've taken care of my family dog, my sister's dogs and friend's dogs for over 15 years. They relied me to walk, feed, play, bathe, take them to vaccination appointments & spa appointments. I also have experience walking large dogs in local animal shelters. I am a mom of a toddler boy and I work from home most days and I am able to take walks every 3-4 hours. I have a big yard for dogs to play and I live in a safe and low traffic community. I have a large living room where the dogs have plenty of space to hang out inside the house.
About: Hi! I’m Charlotte, a lifelong dog lover with a soft spot for senior dogs and young pups alike, especially high-energy breeds. I’ve had the joy of raising and caring for my family’s 12-year-old Boston Terrier since she was a puppy. Over the years, I’ve guided her through every stage of life—from potty training to behavioral shaping and teaching fun tricks. She’s now a sweet senior, and I’ve become well-versed in the extra love and patience older dogs need to stay comfortable, happy, and active. I’m also the owner of an energetic 8-month-old Blue Heeler, so I understand the importance of keeping dogs mentally stimulated, exercised, and engaged. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or just some cuddles on the couch, I’m here to make them feel right at home. My blue heeler, Kota, has gone through heat so I do have experience with caring for puppies in this stage and would ensure that there are no unneutered males there at the same time. I provide a safe, calm, and fun environment, and I treat every pet like my own. I live in a townhouse style condo and am local to many walking/hiking trails. I’d love to meet your furry family member and help care for them while you’re away! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to be fully present and attentive to the pets I care for throughout the day. Since my Blue Heeler is still a puppy, I’m already used to planning my day around potty breaks, playtime, walks, and training sessions—so adding another furry friend into the mix is something I’m well prepared for. Your pet will get plenty of love, attention, and care, no matter the time of day! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my goal is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In my home: I offer a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for play, rest, and attention. I follow each pet’s routine closely—mealtimes, walks, medication if needed, and play—so they feel right at home. I make sure they get plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and of course, cuddles and affection! In a client’s home: I’m respectful of your space and your pet’s usual routine. I maintain consistency with feeding schedules, walk times, and any specific care instructions you provide. I make sure your pet feels secure in their familiar environment, and I keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can feel at ease while you're away.

About: I've been an animal lover ever since getting my first dog Brutus at seven years old. Family and friends have entrusted me to sit and care for their pets since I was a teenager. My family has always had dogs, but I grew to become a cat person after meeting my now wife whose family had many. We eventually took one of the family cats Kira after moving into a new home. My wife and I adopted our current dog Lily in 2018, which was my first experience raising a puppy. I regularly dog sit other family members' dogs at our home, where we enjoy playing catch in the backyard and going for walks in the woods. I work for myself part time, and therefore have a very flexible schedule. I can make myself available for almost any weekday time slot, especially during normal business hours. I am responsible with a calm demeanor and will work with you to gain a thorough understanding of your needs in order to develop a strong relationship with your pet.
About: I have taken animal science classes for past 4 years and previously worked at doggy daycare and boarding facilities. I am also proficient on administering many specialized medications such as insulin and heart meds. I have been taking care of pets since I was 12 years old and have worked with all types of dogs from Chihuahua puppies to senior Great Danes. I am currently working part time, usually from home while going into the office a few days a week. I would be free to visit any pups all throughout the day on most weekdays, usually Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, as well as the weekend. I always ensure that whatever animal I am taking care of is comfortable and feels that they are in a safe environment as well as others around them. Being with people other than their parents can be a stressful situation for some pets and I work to make that encounter as stress free as possible.
About: Dog owners and dogs alike will love my services because I take the care I give very seriously! I understand that your pets can be just like your children, and you love them more than anything! I enjoy the outdoors, and I even like the rain so I'll never cancel because of weather! I have experience with owning my own pets and growing up with close friends and their dogs. I also volunteered at my local humane society for a number of years as a dog walker. I can't think of anything better than being able to take care of your dog while you're at work or on vacation, and I can guarantee that your pets will be well taken care of. I also understand that as dog parents you may have specific requests for your dog and I will always do what you ask. My availability varies by day to day so just send me a message and I'm sure we'll be able to work something out!
About: My parents have a Bernese mountain dog that is about 130lbs. I am always working with him to maintain skills, be polite and control his body. My brothers dog is a medium size female mix with high energy that I prioritize manners and play to burn energy. I am well versed in a wide range of dogs. I am also a cat mom and I recognize each cat has their own personality. I work from home, taking a break to destress in the sunshine with a dog sounds incredible to me. I’ll be enthusiastic about it! Not only that, I’ll be getting a dog outside and brightening their day too! Always looking for ways to enhance animals playtime! I have them practice nice leash walking, I run around with them and their favorite toy, always looking to keep them engaged so they get the most out of their break with me!
About: As an animal lover since I was a little, I’ve always sought out ways to care for animals despite not being able to have one of my own due to apartment rules. My career has consisted mainly of childcare thus far, which has allowed me to interact and care for many family pets. I am quick to adapt to new situations and new personalities due to my extensive experience in behavioral health. I can't wait to meet you and your pet! I am a graduate student at UNH, and currently my Wednesday and Thursday mornings are open. If planned in advance, I can have weeknight and weekend availability. I can only provide care in the client’s home. I will be extremely attentive to your pet’s needs and agreed upon care with the pet owner. I will provide updates throughout the visit if requested.
“We love Brittany! We've known her for several months now and she has been extremely helpful with our 2 year old Australian Shepherd after moving to a new house. We know that Wilder is being well cared for and doted on when he is with Brittany. We know how much she loves our dog (and all dogs!) so we are completely worry-free when Wilder is with her.”

Olivia R.
“Olivia has been a close friend for several years. Everything Olivia does is done with care and awareness. Over the span of our friendship, I have seen her passion for the work she does, her creative thinking for resolving difficult situations, and her organization for executing a task. Olivia's skills shine, specifically when she works with animals. Her love of dogs makes the work enjoyable. She is my families primary pet-sitter over vacations. We leave her with a list of tasks pertaining to the care of our cat and dog, and she ceases to disappoint. She looks after my sick dog with such love and makes sure to give my dog her daily medication on time. Olivia is very deliberate in what she does; in other words, she does not waste her time filling in the gaps of her schedule. I highly recommend her for this position because I have every bit of confidence that she will do it with passion and confidence.”
Margaret K.
“We have 20 month, 130 pounds Bernese Mountain Dog who absolutely loves Maggie. When she arrives he is super excited because he knows there is going to be fun and games in the backyard, walks and lots of snuggles and scratches and yes a few treats. We have spent a lot of time training our BMD and Maggie is very respectful of the boundaries we have set for him and the shenanigans we do not encourage from him because of his size and strength. We have no concerns when we leave him with her overnight or when she takes him on a trek.”
Maria B.
“Ok so you probably read this all the time but Maria is the most dog loving person I know. I’ve owned dogs for the last 15 years and she is without a doubt the most gentle and caring person to come into their lives. From the second she sees a dog there’s a weird energy in the room. Like her and the dog immediately connect. She loves animals of all sorts and is incredibly responsible. She’d be the best dog walker in the world.”
Brittany B.
“We love Brittany! We've known her for several months now and she has been extremely helpful with our 2 year old Australian Shepherd after moving to a new house. We know that Wilder is being well cared for and doted on when he is with Brittany. We know how much she loves our dog (and all dogs!) so we are completely worry-free when Wilder is with her.”
