“Rebecca is fantastic! Stormy had a great day with her and felt right at home. After daycare, Rebecca dropped her off at my house (before I was home) and got her all settled for me. I came home to a happy and tired dog. I loved getting all the pictures and videos and updates!”


“This was our first experience with Rover and a pet sitter, so we didn’t know what to expect. Karen has watched Daisy twice in the last week and did a fantastic job. Daisy was very comfortable with Karen and we will definitely look to use her in the future.”


“She is just amazing!!! I recommend her any day!!! She takes care of my dog like her own child and she sends pictures and updates on how he or she is doing throughout the entire day! If something t is wrong she will inform you right away! She is just great please schedule something with her you will not regret it I swear”


“Even on very short notice, Hannah was more than willing to take great care of Ms. Peaches for an early morning stay! It’s clear that Peaches had a blast with Hannah and her pups, as she’s been napping since picking her up. Would definitely recommend Hannah’s home for doggy daycare to anyone for their beloved pups!”


“Michelle cares for our pup as if he were her own. She takes him on fun and frequent walks, sends us photos of him enjoying his stay with her. She is very prompt in returning our requests.”


“Cecelia was absolutely wonderful - I could tell my pup had a great day from all the pictures she sent and how well he slept afterwards - he clearly got a lot of exercise!! Would book again!”


“Ashley did an excellent job taking great care of our dog. Thanks to her we were able to take our kids to the children's museum which is close by. I could tell our dog was in caring hands. I recommend her highly!”


“Cleo had a wonderful time at Katelyn’s home with her kids and dogs. Katelyn was an excellent communicator with me and a loving caregiver for Cleo. I would definitely recommend and book again!”



About: Dogs have been my passion for 30 years. I have had all types of breeds - tiny to giant and have adopted all of my babies. I am experienced with giving special medical care and medications including injections as several of my kids have had severe illnesses. I believe there are no bad dogs, just dogs who express themselves differently. Would love to meet your four-legged family and help make them happy. My day rates are based on an 8 hr day. Rates for after 8 hrs can be discussed. I work from home and have a flexible schedule which allows me time during the day to provide the attention needed for walks and potty break. I have a fenced in area for potty breaks and playtime. Timber is in full puppy play mode and loves to share her toys and balls with our guests.

“Colleen had my dog, Cooper, at her house for a few hours. Her place is a great set up for dogs, with a fenced in yard and a large couch for snuggles :) It is obvious that she truly cares about your pet. I felt confident leaving my fur baby with Colleen and appreciated her detailed note of their time together! I highly recommend Colleen!!”


“Christina was great with our 6 month old puppy and has 2 adorable dogs that our puppy played with. Responsive and reliable and sent check-ins while we were away. Definitely recommend!”


“My pups loved going to Ashley’s! We had a last minute booking and I am very grateful to have found her. One of my pups is skittish and she took to her right away. You can tell Ashley loves dogs and they love her. Thank you again Ashley!”



About: Without exception, the dog park is always one of the best parts of my day. I've had three dogs of my own, and have been around countless other dogs, most of whom instantly become my new best friends. We just gravitate to each other, hence the fuzzy friend whisperer nickname. I have a playful, loving attitude toward every dog I meet. I am also sensitive to dogs who need a little more patience and space to ease into trusting me and respect the boundaries that they need to do that. My training style with my own dogs is focused on positive reinforcement rather than punishment. This approach translates to other dogs as well, unless their owners request differently. Your dog will be in caring, responsible hands with me. They will be loved. Vogel Emergency Vet just opened right across the street from our house, so if anything kind of emergency pops up, your baby will be a hop, skip and a jump away from the care they need. I'm self employed and work mostly from home so my schedule is quite flexible. Sometimes I’ll have drop in visits throughout the day, but if your dog is boarding with me, there will generally be someone else at home with them. They’ll rarely, if ever be left alone. I live on a small farm but also live near a road, so your dog will always be safely on a leash when we go outside for potty breaks. I have a very friendly 12 year old 45lb labradoodle named Huck to keep your baby company in the rare cases that I'm not at home. I have a "squirrel observatory" (bird feeder) right near my workspace so your dog will not only be supervised most of the time but also entertained.

About: I am available 24/7 to care for your furry family member. I am very responsive and easy to get a hold of at all times. You’ll get plenty of updates and pictures during their stay. I keep a safe, clean, and friendly environment at all times. I have 2 furry boys who are very playful and full of energy, they will give good company for your pups. I have a acre of fenced in land with a pool. I am here to help, let me know what you need and I will do my best to accommodate! Working from home allows me to be available throughout the day to hang with the pups and keep a watchful eye while they play. I enjoy leash free walks at Stratham Hill Park with my boys, if your pup is good with free leash walk, I can take them for a walk too. They also get plenty of time to run around free in the fenced in backyard. I currently work from home, as a result I'm able to provide 24 hour attention to your pup. My services include boarding and day care. Your pup will have plenty of friends to socialize and play with during their stay. We have lots of toys to play tug, fetch and chase. I am pretty active and enjoy playing with the boys/gals or taking them on a walk during the day.

About: Looking for a vacation spot for your furbaby while you're away? You've found it! I’m a full-time pet sitter located in the quainte town of Nottingham. I also foster rescues and know how to handle all kinds of pet situations, needs, and personalities. Our happy family of 5 includes my husband, our two dogs and a kitten. Our home has two floors and a big fenced backyard where your pet can roam freely, play, and explore. When your pet stays with me they'll be a part of the family. Lots of love, playtime, walks and many more fun activities will make them feel at home in no time! I send daily updates and I'm always reachable any time of the day, so you don't need to stress over your beloved fuzzball while you're away. Important to Know: ✔️ I offer Doggy Daycare and Boarding for dogs. Cats are boarding only. ✖️ I do not currently offer pick-ups or drop-offs, house sitting or drop-in visits. 🤝Meet n Greets are required for dog boarding. Cats and daycare visitors are welcome without a meetup. 📅 New pet parents are required to book at least 48h in advance. Last-minute bookings are available only for returning guests and daycare visitors. Whether it’s a few hours or a few weeks, I’m here to give your pets a purrrfect experience! Message me and we'll plan the best stay for your best friend! 🐶🐱 New owners - please reach out at least 48h before drop off. I offer last minute bookings for returning guests and Doggy Daycare visitors only. I can look after all breeds under 90 lbs that are house trained and get along decently with other dogs. Cats get their own dedicated room during stay unless requested to be allowed to freeroam with our pups. For dogs, we have a large and securely fenced yard accessible 24/7 through a convenient doggy door. The yard offers ample space to run, a variety of toys, and a soft sand pit for digging and rolling. Automatic water dispensers ensure your dog always has access to fresh water, and feeding schedules can be arranged to suit their needs. All boarded dogs are welcome to free-roam the house, as our pups get along well with others and it's always great to have everyone playing, socialising and exploring together! Being away from home can be stressing for some pups though, so I recommend providing a crate for them to have a safe space to retreat to. If your dog is not crate trained, I can also provide a fenced off area indoors. This is rarely needed though. Our house offers a warm, welcoming and laid-back environment, which should make your fuzzy friend feel right at home! Our spare bedroom is a dedicated area for cats, offering a peaceful, separate environment from the dogs. The room has queen-size bed for naps, plenty of cozy hideaways, and tall cat tree for climbing and scratching.

“I can not recommend Gary and his wife enough. They were absolutely wonderful and a breath of fresh air. My boy is my absolute world and we both have a little separation anxiety. Gary was very patient, understanding, and worked so well to make him feel safe and secure while in their care. They were very responsive and provided daily updates. Our boy was very happy and had a great time. I’m so happy to have found someone that I trust him with. We will 100% use Gary again.”


“Anthony was great with our two shepherds. We were able to book a day before and he was very flexible as we weren’t sure how long our visit of the college would last. Dogs were happy and we were too.”

Vanitha M.
“Having witnessed her love and compassion for animals firsthand, I can confidently say that she possesses a rare blend of patience, knowledge, and passion that makes her stand out. Over the years, I have seen her nurture and care for animals, treating them like our own family. Whether it's a pups that needs a little extra attention or a bird that loves to sing, Vanitha has always approached them with the same unwavering dedication. Her understanding of animal behaviors, dietary needs, and emotional cues ensures that every pet under her care is not just looked after but truly loved and cherished.”


Iida J.
“I can’t say enough good things about Iida! From the moment she arrived, it was clear how much she loves both cats and dogs. She took the time to learn each pets’ individual quirks—our shy cat who needs a slow approach, and our bouncy Labrador who can’t get enough playtime. She sent adorable photo updates, and she never missed a beat with feeding schedules, walks, or extra belly rubs. While we were away, Iida treated our home and pets as if they were her own. She noticed the smallest details—like when our cat preferred her food warmed up or when our dog needed a longer afternoon stroll to burn off extra energy. Her communication was prompt and thoughtful, and it gave us complete peace of mind. If you’re in New Hampshire/North Mass and need someone truly attentive and caring, Iida is the person to trust.”
