“We have used Kailie now 2x for our rescue dogs, cat and fish. She has stayed at our house while we on much needed vacations, and we always came home to well cared for animals, a clean house and no surprises. She sent us pictures every day, which we greatly appreciated. To have someone stay in your home and care for your animals is a big ask, and Kailie made us feel relaxed about this each time. I cannot recommend her enough!”
“Laura is amazing...Friendly, professional, and patient! Our mini aussie can be a handful with his 1 year old crazy and demanding puppy energy, and Laura handled him like a champ. We loved getting pics and videos, and he received lots of attention, and treats. Thank you Laura!”
“Kate was a wonderful dog and house sitter! Our two dogs were better off then when we left as Kate did some training with them. They took lots of walks and seemed very happy and healthy. The house was great as well.”
About: Hi, I’m Ayden — your pet’s new favorite friend! 🐾 As a lifelong animal lover, most of my experience comes from caring for my own family pets — from playful puppies and curious kittens to sweet seniors and even a feathered friend. I’ve had the joy of loving animals big and small, couch potato and high energy. We recently said goodbye to our special needs dog after 8 amazing years together. I live with my wife and our 3 fur babies in a quiet neighborhood with a large (unfenced) backyard that’s perfect for safe, supervised play. I also do all my own grooming and love keeping pets looking and feeling their best. As a full-time realtor with a flexible schedule, I’m able to give your pets the time and attention they deserve. I’m conveniently located at the borders of New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Vermont, so I’m happy to serve pet parents across all three states! Whether your companion needs a walk, some company, or overnight care, I treat every pet like my own family. Let’s connect — I’d love to meet you and your furry friend! I am a realtor so I make my own schedule! Fitting in pet sitting will be absolutely no issue, and I am able to accommodate any existing routine your pet might have. Care for your pets will be based off their individual needs, as well as yours! In my home, my dogs are always crate trained for their safety and the safety of other pets in the home. Outside time will be on-leash until trust is built.

Ayden H.
“Ayden is the absolute best! His passion for animals shows through in the way that he connects with and cares for my two Rottweilers. He won over my puppy during her “stranger danger” phase, and now she is pretty much obsessed with him. When she had orthopedic surgery, he was attentive to her needs and made sure she was comfortable. He was so gentle with her during bathroom breaks and playtime. My dogs are always excited to see him, and I’m pretty sure they prefer his presence to mine. Ayden is responsible, reliable, trustworthy, and Na’vi & Neytiri approved.”

Elias V.
“Eli has spent a lot of time with my dogs. He shows them so much love, immediately getting on the floor to greet the puppy playfully, and responding to the older dog with belly rubs and affection. Eli demonstrates an understanding of dog behavior and development such as positively redirecting the teething puppy with chew toys. He is responsible and timely, showing up when he says that he will. I trust Eli with my dogs not only because of the observable interactions, but also because he genuinely loves my dogs. I highly recommend Eli as a responsible, experienced caregiver for dogs.”
