Dog Sitting Durham

“Beth is so wonderful! She is so communicative and takes such great care of our pups when we are away. We never worry when we know they are in her hands.”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and taken care of them when needed! I love being around furry friends and make sure they get everything they need and more. I’m currently employed at my local coffee shop, but they’re under renovation so I’ve had a lot of availability! I love going on walks and walk 2-4 miles daily, so I’d love some furry company. At the cafe, I usually work 12-6, so I have plenty of time before and after to care for the pups during workdays as well. I am great at following directions and have a solid understanding of general doggy care in my clients home! I’m super reliable, let me know your needs and I’ll meet them!

“Adelle was great with my large dogs! The drop-in visits were helpful and she was always on time to take them out.”

“Stephanie did a great job watching our pups over a long weekend. She provided detailed information for each visit, and shared pictures of the pups. Our dogs seemed instantly comfortable with her during the meet and greet, and we felt at ease knowing she was watching them.”

“Thank you, Katharine, for taking such good care of the girls.”

Helene M.

“Ivy was responsive to our texts and met all of Kaiser’s needs. Thanks Ivy. We appreciate your help.”

About: I offer high-energy walks at any pace your dog needs! If they like a fast paced walk, I’m there. If they like to take their time and sniff, I’m there. I love to get pictures of your pup on walks, not only to show their owner how much they’re enjoying their walk, but to look back on and remember when we first started our walks :) I have been taking care of dogs for the past 6 years and have a true passion for helping dogs. In 2023, I rescued an 8 month old puppy with straight leg syndrome that couldn’t walk without his wheel chair. He’s now a year and 8 months old and able to stand, walk, run, climb 4 stairs, and swim!! He proved he doesn’t need that wheelchair with the help of weekly PT appointments and lots of at home exercises! I am a nanny Monday-Thursdays until 2:00pm. I am available those days after 2:30pm for drop-in visits or dog walking! I am available 24/7 Friday-Sunday for your fur babies! I have two fur babies who are extremely friendly and always love visitors! I have a big yard that is partially fenced in, but will keep dogs on leashes if needed! I have long leashes to give them that “off-leash” feel but still being secure. I also would love to bring your dog on adventures with my dogs (beach trips, trail walks, swimming, etc). :)

About: I have been dog sitting for others for 4 years now and have had cats and dogs most of my life! I am an avid pet lover and love helping out pet parents care for their fur babies. I have trained basic skills, potty trained and crate trained dogs. I am no longer offering boarding or house sitting as I have a new needy roommate, (pictured on my profile) Daisy 🌼 I am a recent graduate student and work part time in the mental health field. My schedule is fairly flexible and I am able to be home often if needed for a pet. I am a good fit for dogs/cats that are able to manage 6 hours alone for days I have to work! I offer a quiet and patient presence for your pets! I will accommodate your pets needs whether that’s lots of snuggles or just a person to check in. Every pet has their own personality and I completely understand any accommodations or activities your pet needs.

About: Growing up, I always loved animals and would ask to take care of and walk my neighbors’ or friends’ dogs. My family got 2 dogs while I was in high school and I was able to take care of them and train them. I’m currently in college pursuing a degree in Animal Science and on the road to becoming a vet, so I have lots of animal experience! I’m currently a college student and am free on weekends. Over the summer, I will be free all day everyday until my internship starts and am looking to help out whenever possible! My neighborhood is very dog and cat friendly. I don’t have a fenced in yard but easily use leashes for my own dogs. I only have two dogs that get along with other dogs pretty well but could be put in their crate if needed. However, it would be easier to stay at the client’s home if overnight care is needed.

“Just the best! I can tell beans loved having her there ♥️ I’m one happy mum”

“This sitter checked in on days requested, gave care as requested, interacted with pets and sent pictures. I am very pleased and would use this sitter again.”

About: I have had years of experience with other peoples pets, and primarily my own. I have taken care of my own Dogs, cats, snakes, hamsters, horses, and fish over the years. I’ve grown up with puppies, and currently have my own 2 kittens, and also have had elderly dogs, cats, and horses before. I have always adored animals, and have always been an important part in my life so I would love to make more furry friends with your pets:) I currently am enrolled in school at The University of New Hampshire. My schedule is super open this semester since I took summer classes so my work load would be easier. In home care : I would make sure to send client photos if l was boarding their pet at my apartment, and make sure I follow the exact instructions given. When other people watch my pets , there’s always the anxiety of making sure they are treated well, and taken care of. Clients home: if I took care of the clients pets, I would make sure that I followed all the rules given and more. I understand it can be uncomfortable for a stranger to be in your house, so trust and reassurance everything is safe it’s important as a pet and home owner

About: With over 15 years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds, temperaments, and energy levels, I bring a calm, confident, and knowledgeable approach to every pet I care for. From playful family pups to high-drive working and hunting dogs, I’ve trained, handled, and loved them all. My background includes obedience training, socialization, and behavior management, so I understand how to read a dog’s body language and respond to their needs with patience and precision. Whether your pup needs a structured walk, mental stimulation, or just a cozy companion while you're away, I tailor my care to fit their personality and routine. ✔️ Comfortable with large breeds, high-energy dogs, and special needs pets ✔️ Skilled in basic obedience and handling reactive behavior ✔️ Clean, respectful, and communicative—your home and pet are in great hands ✔️ Available for walks, drop-ins, overnights, and extended stays I treat every pet like family and strive to make your time away stress-free and positive for everyone. Let’s chat about how I can help you and your furry friend feel confident and comfortable—can’t wait to meet you both! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—it’s something I truly enjoy and make time for every day. Whether it’s morning walks, training sessions, feeding schedules, or playtime, caring for animals is built into my life. With 15+ years of experience, I’ve developed a rhythm that keeps pets happy, healthy, and calm while their owners are away. I treat each visit or stay as a top priority, making sure every dog gets the attention, structure, and love they’re used to at home. Whether I'm watching one pup or a few, I organize my day around their needs—early walks, midday check-ins, evening wind-downs, and plenty of time for belly rubs and fetch in between! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in yours, my goal is always the same: to provide a safe, calm, and loving environment that keeps your pet happy and comfortable. In My Home: I keep a clean, pet-friendly space where animals can relax and feel at ease. I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any medication or special care instructions. I offer plenty of supervised outdoor time (in a secure area), mental stimulation, and downtime to keep pets balanced and stress-free. In Your Home: I respect your space and your pet’s routine. I make sure your pet gets the same love and structure they’re used to, whether that’s walks, playtime, meals, or snuggles on the couch. I’m tidy, trustworthy, and always communicate so you know how things are going while you're away. No matter where your pet is, I treat them like my own—with patience, kindness, and lots of tail wags.

“I cannot recommend Patrick enough. For every single visit with our pets, he went above and beyond our expectations. Patrick was highly empathetic when interacting with our pets and was he able to befriend them quickly. We have two dogs (one fearful), a cat, and a bird and Patrick was able to adjust his care perfectly for each of their individual needs.”

About: I've never owned a dog, however I've grown up around them with friends and family members owning multiple dogs at one time. My aunt always had three or more dogs at one time which I helped to care for, ranging from giving medications to feeding to playing in the yard. I worked at a pet store for over 5 years where we were trained in nutrition as well as some behavioral signs. During my time at the pet store, I met someone who was looking for a sitter for their 10 month old alaskan malamute. I was offered the opportunity to watch her multiple times over the course of a year and a half which I took her on many hikes, beach trips, car rides, barn adventures, and spoiled her with toys and love. My boyfriend has a lab/dane/pointer who I take out for "mother-son" dates where we go for an outdoor adventure than reward with a pup cup. I've been working as an Animal Care Technician at a veterinary clinic for almost 2 years now where I care for patients before, during, and after their procedures ensuring they receive the best care and love during their stay at the clinic. I currently work full-time at a veterinary clinic in Dover NH. I have a four day work week consisting of Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday at three 11 hour days and one 8 hour usually. I own a horse who I care for everyday after work most of the time or in the mornings on the days I have off (weekends and Wednesday). I always keep an eye on the pet whenever I am present by observing them and learning what is normal and abnormal for them. I watch the pets with no one else present so that I don’t have a human distraction which would hinder my ability to give the pet the best, safe experience. I limit the usage of my phone for social media or other distractions so I am present for the pets in the event of an emergency or any other incidences that may occur.

About: I have always had dogs growing up. I am currently studying Animal Science with a minor in public health, looking to go into Animal Welfare. I am an intern at the New Hampshire SPCA where I have been expanding my experience in animal handling and enrichment. I work Sunday-Thursday from 8-4 at the NHSPCA where I am an Animal Care Technician. I am available before or after work along with Friday’s and Saturday’s. I have a dog park at my apartment complex and I love taking dogs on long walks and working on their leash training. I handle all behaviors at the shelter, so I am able to modify my care accordingly.

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of pets since I was a kid. I started dog walking and pet sitting during the summers in college and am looking to continue caring for your precious pets as I start a new career as a teacher. I am experienced in caring and training puppies as well as taking care of senior dogs who need extra care. I look forward to meeting your pets! I’m currently off for the summer as I am a teacher. I am very flexible schedule wise to take care of your pet’s needs on your schedule. I have been trained in dog walking and pet safety for all kinds of breeds. I will of course follow any safety requirements that you need to keep your pets safe and well loved.

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and taking care of them has always felt natural to me. Over the years I’ve had the joy of caring for many different pets/animals. This ranges from dogs to cats to smaller animals like rabbits and hamsters, horses, and even a few cows. Each one had their own little personality, and I took the time to get to know what made them feel safe and happy. Whether I’m feeding them, going for walks, or just sitting with them so they don’t feel alone, I really enjoy being someone animals can trust. Taking care of them never feels like a chore but it’s something I genuinely love. Even as a college student, I make sure pet care fits comfortably into my schedule. I plan my classes and study time so I always have enough space in my day for walks, feeding, playtime, and anything else a pet might need. Having a routine actually helps keep me organized and caring for animals gives me a nice break from schoolwork and something positive to look forward to. I’m very mindful about time management, so I make sure each pet gets consistent attention and doesn’t feel rushed or overlooked. You and your animal can trust me because I truly care about creating a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet I look after. I’ve been around animals my whole life, so I understand how important it is to be patient, gentle, and consistent. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routines, and comfort levels so they never feel overwhelmed or ignored. I’m responsible, reliable, and always put their well-being first. Whether that means sticking closely to your instructions, keeping a close eye on their safety, or simply giving them reassurance when they’re nervous. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease knowing your pet is being cared for with the same love and attention I’d give my own.

“Tati was able to walk our three pups on very short notice and also flexible for a time change. We received great pictures of all three frolicking in the snow and posing inside. Tati also did an extra for me checking on an appliance I was concerned about. Tati is well loved by our pups, especially our high strung little Westie. Highly recommend!! <3”

“Clarke was great with our meet and greet. She was pleasant to talk to and was great with our dogs. She was attentive to instructions on how to care for our two dogs. Our dogs are old 12 and 14 yo so they occasional have accidents in the house and on our walkways, Clarke was warned about the issues. We were pleased with how well she dealt with the dog's accidents while we were away. Our house was left clean and our walkway was clear. While we were on our vacation, Clarke took pictures of our dogs for us. When we needed to sent Clarke text messages, she was quick to respond back to us regarding our dogs' status. Overall, it was a great experience having Clarke take care of our 2 dogs. I highly recommend her and will use her again if she is available during the time we need her for a job.”
