“Toffee, my 3-year old golden retriever, had a good time staying at Joe’s place. She looks happy and healthy when we picked her up and she almost did not want to leave! 😅 It was wonderful to see Toffee made some friends while staying with Joe (16 days!). It is not easy to find a good pet sitter or a boarding service provider here around Upper Valley. We really appreciate the services Joe and his partner provided.”


“Christina and Jason were great with my girls. I received pictures of them daily along with descriptions of their daily activities. They kept my girls busy and happy. I would highly recommend them.”


“Samantha is wonderful!!! We are here for the summer and had to board our lab for a week. He was experiencing some allergies and Sam was more than happy to help! She provided updates, photos and videos of him throughout the week! We were able to add a day to our itinerary mid stay. Sam is very flexible! The location is exactly what we hoped for! Lots of space and outdoor time. Sam does daily walks. She offered to keep Riggs with the timid crew since he is a bit shy. Sam knows and love dogs! We are incredibly thankful for her!”

“Kevin was great with our highly energetic dog, Archie! He was very communicative day to day! Archie spent 4 days having the time of his life on the homestead and came home dirty, tired and happy. If we’re ever in the area again, or if we were living there, they would be our go to! Thanks again!”


“My pup had a really amazing stay at Brittney’s home! Her and the kids are super sweet, caring and easy going. Them took the pup for a hike and totally burned her hyper energy, really appreciate the care and love for Sango’s short stay!”


“Sam and Thomas were wonderful with our dog! We were able to meet ahead of time to ensure that our doggos got along and it was a great fit! When we dropped off our Waylon boy, he was so happy to be able to play with two friends (Sam & Thomas' dogs)! They were all so welcoming, friendly and kind. We were away from Friday - Sunday and they sent me several pictures of Waylon enjoying life at their place. I am so happy we meet them and we plan on booking them again for our next trip. If you want a family that genuinely cares for animals and will take excellent care of your dog, contact Sam & Thomas! They are amazing!!”



“Gwynn was amazing, ad Ursa had a wonderful time. We enjoyed the daily picture and video updates, and it was clear Ursa enjoyed being in such a beautiful, safe, and loving environment. We would recommend Gwynn and her lovely property to anyone seeking a caring provider. Thank you!”


“They were so great!! Lika took a ton of pictures and videos of our dog Schnappi through the weekend which totally helped my separation anxiety lol. It made us feel good to see Schnappi playing and napping and knowing he was being taken care of so well. They followed the directions we left for feeding, medication, etc. well and were really communicative. They were able to help us out last minute when our friend had to cancel on dog-sitting, which was amazing. And then when my plane was super delayed Lika was really nice about me being late to pick him up. She also went above & beyond and delivered his food bowls to us after we forgot to bring them home. All around great experience, you can tell they're dog people and I will definitely rebook with them next time we need a sitter.”


“Min Joo is a very thoughtful and accommodating dog sitter. We had a wonderful experience and felt reassured that our dog was well taken care of with the frequent communication and photo/video updates.”


“I could see that my dog was having a good time and was in good hands. Edgar and Rene have two well-trained dogs already and spend plenty of time with them out in their yard. Edgar was always available and replied instantly to messages.”


About: I have taken care of cats and dogs for as long as I can remember. Looking to get my own, but in the meantime, would be excited to watch yours. I have plenty of toys and treats and I’m happy to do anything that makes you feel comfortable to keep your furry friend happy! I currently work at Dartmouth Hitchcock full-time which is why I typically can only watch during the weekend. My flexibility means I can also sometimes work remote. Depending on your preference, I’m sure we can work out something great. I am happy to do anything that makes you feel comfortable. I love to go for a walk, so I’m happy to take them down to the small park that we have. Or if they’re not much of a walker, I’m happy to sit and relax as long as they know how to pick a TV show.

About: My name is Ben and I live with my wife, Laura, in Canaan. I work from home and we are both available as needed throughout the day to provide close supervision, companionship and outdoor time for your pet. We grew up with a lot of pets, and have always loved being around dogs especially. We have had several Saint Bernards in the past and are comfortable with large dogs. Whatever the shape or size, we look forward to getting to know your pet and giving them the best care we can provide. We are happy to host and are flexible to travel, both weekdays and weekends. Looking forward to hearing from you! Availability 7 days/week with flexible work hours. Can travel to your home and stay overnight if needed as well as take out for walks during the day. Our house is spacious and comfortable with a large yard and surrounding areas to take for walks. Will follow instructions carefully to best accommodate different needs.

About: Being a long time animal lover, I love spending my time walking and training dogs. I’ve worked at various animal hospitals, doggy daycares, and boarding facilities. I am willing to travel, and it would be a great perk if my 3 year old lab could come play or walk with your pup as well! My schedule is very flexible. I am willing to travel, and am open to schedule changes to work with your needs as well. I can do holidays as well as weekends with a planned notice. All I want is for your pet to feel comfortable and have a great time playing and/or going for a walk. Engaging shy/fearful dogs with toys and treats is always a great way to earn trust.

“Steve and Keely took amazing care of my 11-month old black lab Rain. Their lab Sabra and Rain became fast friends and played together constantly during her 2-day stay. Rain had plenty of room inside and had daily walks and outside time as well. Steve sent me photos and updates throughout her stay. I have already rebooked with Steve for a weeklong trip I am taking next week. I can’t recommend him enough.”


About: Since I was 12, I have taken care of neighborhoods, friends, and families dogs, cats, and other pets. I have owned three dogs, other miscellaneous pets, and have raised three litters of puppies. I am more than happy to feed and care for other pets, including rodents, amphibians, and reptiles. I am a college student back home from July 30th to August 20th. My schedule is completely open and I can house sit during the week. I am unable to bring pets into my own home. I will stay over at my client’s houses with their pets because it tends to be more convenient.

“Many thanks to Hannah for taking care of our dog on short notice! Was responsive and kept in communication during our dogs stay, and made sure to hang out with him. Would recommend Hannah to anyone!”
