Pet Sitting Epping

About: Since I was a young girl I was always the family remember in charge of making sure our pets were fed, entertained, trained and given exercise. Around the age of 10 was my first time watching over our neighbors new puppy as they went on vacation. At the time I was nervous but my energetic energy matched the puppy perfectly. Currently i’m renting an apartment at my college UNH with my cat and a roommate. My neighbors who have pets continuously asked me to watch them because of how much time and energy I put into carrying for them. Sometimes I only watch them for the day when work or school takes over and other for extended periods of time. If this becomes the case I make sure to walk and entertained the pet so that they don’t feel lonely. Cat sitting in house is my most common form of cat sitting. Cats and dogs have very different needs from a sitter that I can provide with my years of experience working and owning my own pets I’m currently on summer break until August so my availability to spend time with your fur babies is very open. Keeping in mind that it is still my break there will be times in which I wish to fully experience my summer :) If there is a fenced in yard or not, I still plan to take pups on daily leash walks to ensure safety of the both of us. Ultimately whatever the client feels most comfortable and confident with I will ensure to use those methods. This can include crate use, specific walk routes, specific animal preferences and more.

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

About: I’ve always had a love for dogs and currently have a dog of my own, so I understand the importance of providing them with patience, exercise, and plenty of attention. I also volunteer at a local dog shelter, where I regularly walk dogs with a variety of personalities, energy levels, and backgrounds. This experience has taught me how to build trust with dogs, safely handle them on walks, and recognize their individual needs. Whether your dog enjoys long adventures, a relaxed stroll, or extra playtime, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. I treat every dog as if they were my own, and my goal is to give both you and your pet a positive, stress-free experience. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work full-time and am typically available after 5:00 PM on weekdays, making evenings perfect for walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with your pets. I'm also available on weekends, which allows for more flexible scheduling. I truly enjoy spending my free time with animals, whether it's walking, playing, or simply keeping them company, so caring for pets is something I genuinely look forward to. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special instructions. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I provide plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and regular updates so owners can have peace of mind.

“Laurie was wonderful! We booked her for a few days worth of drop-in visits with our 1 year old dog Luna (40-lb border collie mix). We've only had Luna for 4 months (rescue) and she is incredibly timid and loud around strangers in the house. We were worried going into the weekend that we might even have to cancel our trip because Luna has been unmanageable by just about everyone we've tried to get to walk her. And even with us, on walks she is easily distracted and will try to chase everything from squirrels to grasshoppers. It can be a challenge for non-family to even get close enough to get a leash on her. Laurie was so kind and patient with Luna, and spent so much time with her to gain her trust. She proved fully capable of leashing Luna and bringing her on long walks. We will definitely be booking Laurie again! (provided she would be willing!)”

About: I've had a number of pets throughout my life that I have taken care of including dogs of all sizes. I hold a special place in my heart for pitbulls as my sweetest girl was a pittie mix. I'm also used to anxious animals and can manage a pet who doesn't appreciate human contact very much. I'm currently in graduate school, looking for work over the summer and hopefully continuing into weekends and evenings once classes begin again. I work part time in senior care. I believe every animal deserves a kind and loving home, regardless or species, breed, or temperament. I approach every animal with respect for their personal space but will happily pet and play with the ones who are comfortable.

“Lydia has been pet sitting for us for nearly a year and she is wonderful, could not recommend her more! She’s great with all our pets who have varying medical needs and even our shy nervous cat loves when she comes by.”

Bri K.

“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.”

Cathy B.

“Marion was amazing with my cat, Bruin! She gave him so much love and attention, and her updates made me feel totally at ease while I was away.”

Ben Q.

“Thanks for being there on short notice, we appreciate it!”

About: Soothing background sounds of classical music, natural light pouring in from the windows, cozy nook beds to curl up, and full attention provided throughout the day and night as needed. Creating a relaxing environment for a dog to feel safe when away from home is exactly what I strive to provide. I value offering predictable routines to significantly reduce anxiety, play time outdoors, puzzle toys for mental stimulation, and meeting your dog's needs in ways that are specific to them. As someone who has provided pet care throughout the last twenty years, and having two dogs myself for the last 5 years, I understand how valuable it is to find a sitter that is reliable, trustworthy, and observant. I will create a plan of care specific to your dog in order to recreate the consistencies of their home life and ensure a comfortable experience. I am a stay at home parent with minimal commitments outside of the home, which makes my schedule very flexible and accommodating. I do have some weekday morning appointments that may require me to leave the house for 1-2 hours. If boarding, I am available for last minute bookings. For dog walking or services that require being out of the home, I will need a few day notice to ensure I am not busy with other clients as I plan to only work with one family at a time. Please note that I have two older children that may accompany me for dog walking and drop in visits, but I will personally be responsible for handling all pet care. I have two friendly dogs who are both crate trained but prefer to roam freely. I keep a gate on the staircase to keep pets on the main level. This is for safety to ensure they are better supervised and not left unattended. My main level is very clear and clutter free. I have a gate on the back deck so the dogs can lounge safely outdoors. I do not have a fenced yard as our dogs are trained to stay within the boundary of the back yard, but I do have a dog play pen attached to the deck in the yard for potty breaks (this was set up to house train my puppy in a more confined area outside). Please let me know preference for your dog being outside as I am happy to take them out on a leash or let them in the play pen area if they aren't jumpers.

About: Taking care of animals is my joy. I have 3 healthy cats and an 8 week old puppy at home who I take care of, and I have been dog and cat sitting since I was around 12. When I was younger I put up flyers around town for my little pet care business, and people loved how I took care of their animals. I am currently working part time and in online school, so my schedule is very flexible and I have lots of time to take care of animals! My cats that I have had for years are healthy and happy and they are my best friends. I have never missed feeding or playing or cuddling, and I will treat my clients animals like they are my own. In my clients home I like to make sure the animal is properly taken care of and that everything is under control, whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, nail clipping, whatever it is!

“Heather was great. I have a very large great dane puppy and she did a great job handling him. This was my first experience and leaves me comfortable to move forward with more care.”

Natasha P.

“Alyssa is absolutely wonderful. I have a new puppy...and have to work. Alyssa stops in midday to check in on him. She goes above and beyond. Not only does she care for and play with him, but she also takes the time to help reinforce his training. Hank and I think Alyssa is the best!”

“Xi was a very loving and gentle cat sitter for my 2 kitties during a recent extended trip. She managed insulin injections for my youngest sweetheart! Always a good communicator and very respectful! I would not hesitate to call for Xi again!”

Charlene G.

“Minnie was great, she came to meet the pups beforehand for an introduction and to get an idea of the pups routine. She was prompt and on time for the scheduled times and interacted great with the pups!”

David D.

“Erin is a fantastic sitter. She was incredibly helpful for the two weeks we had her provide drop-in visits for. She communicated well. We loved the pictures and are so glad all three of our cats had such excellent care. She even took our garbage down to the street for trash day which was absolutely above and beyond. We came home to three well cuddled, well-fed, and happy kitties. We would absolutely use her services again in the future.”
