“Kim was punctual, attentive, and responsive to the needs of all my animals — even my not-so-friendly senior. Her calm and confident demeanor immediately put both me and my more timid Lab at ease. It’s clear she genuinely cares and has the experience to handle a variety of personalities with patience and skill. A sincere sorry from Levi and a big thank you from Otto!!”


“Andrea was fast to respond, on time, great at communicating during the walks and sent lots of great pics! Our hound has alot of quirks and Andrea just rolled with her moods and attitudes. So grateful we found her to care for our princess!”


“We absolutely love Lisa, my golden retriever and 2 maine coons look forward to her visits when we can’t be home. Lisa is punctual, trustworthy and detailed oriented, she’s a very caring person and we appreciate her.”


About: I am currently offering to watch your dog in my home. I have a flexible job that will allow me to be with your dog 24/7 so I can attend to all their needs and also allow them to have indoor outdoor access. I recently had to say goodbye to my soul dog who was with me for the past 15 years, so your dog will be the only pet in my home while also allowing me to fill my home with the comfort of a dog again. I also know what its like to be a pet owner and the stress that ensues when trying to find a reliable person to care for your pet. I have used Rover many times for my pet care needs, so I know from experience what it means to do a good job. I have cared for all kinds of dogs and puppies. Please contact me if you would like to schedule a free “meet and greet” to make sure I am a good fit. I Look forward to meeting you and your fur baby! I have a very flexible job that allows me to be available 24/7 if needed to attend to your pets needs. I will follow their typical feeding and walking routines to make them feel secure. I will take every precaution to make sure your pets are safe by following your instructions. I care for pets in my home so will make sure to follow your instructions carefully.

“Kate is amazing, she takes great care of my golden retriever and 2 maine coon cats. Kate comes once a week and takes my golden on a walk, he looks forward to seeing her every week, Kate is always right on time and leaves me complete updates followed up with pictures. I appreciate having someone that I can trust in my home with my fur-babies.”


About: With a lifelong love for animals and experience caring for both household pets and farm animals, I treat your pets with the same attention and affection you would. My goal is to ensure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I am a self-employed designer/printer, so my schedule is very flexible and adjustable based on your/your pets' needs. I am also single, so I do not have any other prior commitments other than work, and I do not have any pets of my own, so your pet(s) will have my full attention. I typically housesit/farm-sit, and I seek to adhere to the owners' standards. I am attentive to schedules, tasks & chores, and the pets' attention & affection needs. I keep a clean environment, and I make sure that the owner's home is in the same shape as when they left it.

About: I have worked with animals my entire life. As a child, I had my own pet sitting business. Fast forward and I have managed several animal shelters, owned and fostered many kinds of animals (from four paws to scales to wings and everything in between), was an animal control officer, and am comfortable handling all animals and breeds. I have also ridden horses for many years and raised farm animals, unfortunately I can’t currently board farm animals in my home though :). I currently have a 1 yr old Golden along with 2 kids. As long as your pet likes a busy household and gets along well with others, we would welcome them and treat them as our own! I currently work for the state as a social worker. My office is two minutes from my home, and I have a flexible schedule. I am able to work remote some days as well. Depending on the need of your pet(s), I can accommodate just about anything! I live in a three bedroom home that is clean and tidy. I do have two children who are comfortable with animals and would always be supervised around your pet(s). If your pet(s) do not care for children, they can be kept separate from them as well. I have a large crate that is available to use. I also have a large, fenced in backyard, and have a great neighborhood for walking. I am naturally outdoors a lot and enjoy hiking, so I’m happy to bring your pet(s) along for hikes and rides if they are so inclined. I am trained in pet CPR (and actually saved a puppy once using it), and have also been a first responder, so I am comfortable in difficult and emergency situations. I understand the difficulty of leaving your pet with a “stranger,” which is why I’m happy to talk and meet beforehand. I want you and them to feel comfortable and like my home is their home away from home. Pets are family to me and your pet(s) will be treated with love and respect (and perhaps a little spoiled). I also have a large SUV and can provide transportation if needed.

About: I have had dogs growing up and currently. I house sit and watch my parents friends dogs (they have 2) every 6 months! Have always loved animals! I work 3 (12s) sometimes 6 straight and have 8 off! I travel around new hampshire for work and willing to travel for you! I work in healthcare in the ER so fast pace is my jam! My dogs are spoiled at home. Making them home made treats! Talking them on walks, rides! My parents dog has ran a 5k with me before! I am always looking for reasons to walk!

About: Working with animals of all sizes, from cats and dogs, to horses and more, I have lots of valuable experience! My love and passion for animals since childhood has continued on into college, where I am majoring in Veterinary Technology and Animal Sciences. My classes provide me with further exposure and education on species of all kinds. Being around animals is truly my happy place! Being home from college on break until the last week of January, I am hoping to stay busy and hang out with some furry friends! My schedule and availability will be determined on a first come, first serve basis! I am very thorough with the caretaking of animals, ensuring everything is done safely and as requested by the owners. I will love and care for your pets, just as I would my own!

About: I like dogs and cats. Doesn’t matter what I watch but cats are easier for sure! I live in a great area where tons of people walk their dogs Open for anything since I’m retired and have the time now.

About: I have 1 dog of my own and love caring for yours while you're away! I have many years of pet sitting experience and have been very involved with several pet rescue groups. I am very comfortable administering medications and with any other special requests. Can't wait to meet your 4 legged family member! I am an educator and am off for holidays and the summer. I work during the day, but am available for early morning or afternoon/evening visits Mon-Fri and on weekends. I love spending time with animals and will treat yours like they're my own! I would love to take your dog for a special outing. I am very responsible and will send regular updates while you're away. As far as boarding in my home, it would be best if it is an older dog with a relaxed temperament. My dog is very sweet, but puppies stress her out. :) I am currently off for the summer, so I am home all day. I can work around your pup's schedule and will have lots of time to spend with them! I live at the lake and there are lots of great places to walk close by. If your dog loves swimming, there is a beach within walking distance. I am off on weekends and holidays, so I have lots of time for your pup! My dog goes everywhere with me, so I'll love spending time with yours! I live alone with my dog, so I have lots of time and attention to give. I am off during the summer and on holidays, so they can go out as much as needed!

About: I’ve had fur siblings all of my life and have never had any issues providing the best care, making sure they are well loved and fed and keeping them active. I’ll provide the best care and help out tidying up the home while you are away. Although I am new to pet sitting I will strive to make sure all of your animals are well cared for under my services. I look forward to hearing from you! I’m located in the Lakes region and I am willing to travel further on my days off. I do have a full time job but my days off rotate. If you are interested in using my services, reaching out about a week or 2 in advanced would be best so I can accommodate my schedule to yours! If you need a longer stay I can definitely make that happen with more of a heads up. I feed and water my cats before and after my shift. When I come home on my lunch I bring out some of their favorite toys and play until I have to head back to work. When I get home we have more playtime and I feed them dinner. Before bed I make sure all of their water bowls and food bowls are full, I clean their litter boxes 4-5 times a week (fill as needed) and do a deep clean once every 2 weeks to keep things fresh.

“Brianna provided the service we needed. Our dog was fed, walked, treated, scratched, and rubbed to the dog’s delight. Additionally everything at home, leash, dog coat, food and treat containers, etc, was left neat and organized. Brianna’s communication was also good. We would’ve definitely have Briana again.”


About: I have a friendly, well-trained senior golden retriever who gets along great with other pets and kids. I don’t crate unless requested and use positive, consistent techniques. Working fully remote gives me the flexibility to give your pup plenty of love and attention throughout the day. I work fully remote with a flexible schedule, which means I’m able to give your pup plenty of attention throughout the day. We usually get outside for daily walks and stretch breaks to keep them happy and active. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important trust is when it comes to your pup. I always follow your preferences closely and strive to create a safe, calm environment where your dog feels at home. Whether it’s cuddles on the couch or structured routines, I adjust to what makes them feel most secure.

Caitlyn P.
“Dear Pet Owners, I would like to recommend Caitlyn Porell to care for your pet. I am a school counselor and have known Caitlyn for several years. She has cared for my 14 year old pug on several occasions. He has needed special care and she has not hesitated giving medicine, cleaning up vomit, urine and poop! When I have been traveling she has kept me updated with texts, photos, and videos. She has always been on time, stayed in my home, or taken my Joey to her home. He is always happy and contented when I return home. She is a true animal lover. Your pet will be treated like they belong to her. Sincerely, Sue Fernley”

Charles T.
“We are very protective of our animals here on the farm. We often turn down opportunities to go away because of the animals but since we discovered Charles and his loving care of the animals, we can be freer to say, "yes" to opportunity. Charles not only is trustworthy, he is caring and conscientious about doing things the way we want them done. We have had Charles here on the farm while we went away for more than 2 weeks at a time. The animals all thrived while Charles was here. We have booked Charles' services for the future. We would hardily recommend Charles!”

Laura H.
“Laura was amazing with my dog Sammy while I was away. I have known her for about 3 years now and in the beginning I would leave a note out for everything that needed to be done and she caught on very quickly. Hell, she would even clean up around the house even when I didn’t expect that of her. She was always active with Sammy and he would love it when she came over. I would check in and she would send me the best photos of him at the park! I moved away recently so both of us are very sad she can’t watch Sammy for me, but he sure did love his time with her.”

Shane is wonderful - he walked our energetic dogs so our elderly parents didn’t need to worry about that while we were away on our trip. Our pup Poppy loved Shane’s dog and they had a blast playing during each visit. Shane was always punctual and when a scheduling issue popped up, he was so kind and flexible. We highly recommend Shane for any of your dog sitting / dog care needs!
