Pet Sitting in Gilford

“I can’t recommend Kim enough. Kim comes by our house everyday and lets our dog rocky out to play/use the bathroom. They had an instant bond. We can’t thank Kim enough!”

About: Hi, I’m Lilly! I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life and love caring for pets of all kinds. I have experience helping dogs through surgery recovery as well as experience with reactive dogs. I know every pet is unique, and I’m patient, reliable, and happy to give them all the love and attention they deserve I currently work full time so my availability is limited to before 7am and after 6pm Monday through Friday and most of my weekends are wide open! I currently live in a pet free home with a nice sized yard, I do not have a fence though so your dog will need to be comfortable on a leash!

“Lisa was great with Bailey. Very attentive, followed my overbearing instructions, and sent plenty of pictures. I highly recommend her services!!!”

“Kate is great!!!! She takes great care of our kitties while we are gone and is an excellent communicator. It is such a relief knowing that they are in great hands while we are away. Thanks Kate!”

“Vienna watched our cat while we were gone over spring break. She did a great job! She showed up when she said she would, took care of the tasks needed, and our cat was happy. We'd hire Vienna again!”

About: I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages. I understand different energy levels, leash manners, and routines, and I always focus on safety, consistency, and positive care. I treat every dog like my own and keep owners updated so they feel confident their dog is in good hands. I’m currently fully available with a flexible schedule. During the summer, I work evenings starting around 3 PM, so I’m available mornings and early afternoons for walks and drop-in visits. I keep my Rover calendar updated and communicate clearly about availability. I care for dogs in their own home by following their usual routine, providing safe walks, fresh water, feeding as instructed, and lots of attention. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and communication, and I always send updates after each visit.

“Cassandra was wonderful with our rambunctious dog and easygoing cat. She was flexible and reliable, communicated clearly, and sent great pictures. We came home to happy animals. Would definitely book Cassandra again!”

About: My wife and I are crazy animal lovers! We have three dogs and three cats, (and a lizard). We are well versed in all different breeds of dogs, puppy care, dogs in heat, etc. My dog experience includes: - I have owned both high drive (Malinois) and giant breed (Great Dane) dogs in the past. They can be high maintenance and I remember being worried at the time if a sitter would be able to “handle” them …. Don’t worry, I got you!! - working with a local golden retriever breeder over the past 5 years : very family with female dogs in heat, pregnancy, nursing, puppies of all life stages, etc. - regular volunteer at Laconia humane society in the dog section.. I’ve seen ALL different sizes, breeds, personalities, and health issues of dogs here - Rover sitting for 5+ years, watching family/friends/neighbors pets for 10+ years - multiple training courses on dog behaviors and reactivity Cat care: I equally love cats as much as dogs!! - we have two purebred Maine Coons and one black cat adopted from the humane society - comfortable with all different breeds, ages, and personalities - knowledgeable about cat body language, habits, and play styles Reptile/Amphibian - we own one leopard gecko - relatively new to the reptile field, very knowledgeable about specifically leopard geckos at this point. If you have a different type of reptile reach out, with detailed instructions I’d be happy to care for them for you My wife works full time out of the home on a regular 9-5 M-F schedule. I am a mental health therapist. I work from home 100% of the time doing telehealth. I do have to go into the office room in our house to do sessions. My sessions are irregular but on average they’re from 10am-12pm and then 1pm-5pm every day. I frequently get cancellations so it would likely be a little less than that as well. Sample schedule: Boarding or pet daycare in my house: 7am-10am - breakfast, bathroom, spend time outside in fenced yard weather permitting, going on leashed walk through neighborhood, playing inside house 10am-12pm : I will be in work sessions likely. Your dog should be tired and relaxed from our morning activities by this point. They can take rest/nap in office room with me, or play by themselves with chew toys etc. (dog must be mature enough that they don’t need my undivided session during this time since I will be mainly focused on work calls. 12pm- 1pm : lunch break, bathroom break, cuddles, play 1pm - 5pm: back to work! As a mentioned it’s not unusual for me to get a hour long cancellation. 5pm- bedtime : dinner, big walk through neighborhood, playing, chew toys, puzzle toys, pets, love I will follow any instructions you leave me EXACTLY. For example, please don’t feel embarrassed if you want to leave me a five page document on how you usually care for your pet….. because I completely understand how nerve wracking and hard it can be to leave your family member in someone else’s care!!! I will care for your pets the way I would want mine to be treated, with 110% love and care. On the flip side, also don’t feel like you have to leave that detailed of instructions if you don’t want to or feel like it … I’ll still be on top of it :)

“Kayla was awesome!! She really helped us on short notice and went out of her way to meet us the day before as we requested. Highly recommend and would request her help again!”

Michelle M.

“We had Ken for a 2 day house sit for our dog, Flash. In all of our years using Rover, we’ve rarely had a sitter who loves Flash as much (maybe more!) than we do. Ken even made a special late evening visit outside of those that were scheduled just to make sure Flash had a little extra love before bed. We came back to a tidy home and happy pooch. Will definitely have Ken back again!”

Henry B.

“Hailey looked in on our 2 cats every day while we were on vacation, and I could tell they were well cared for when we came back. She was very responsive and provided photos every day. When our flight home got cancelled, she even came an extra day which relieved some of the travel stress! Definitely recommend, and I would book her again for cat care. Thanks Hailey!”

Elizabeth S.

“Shelby is awesome. I’ve been using her services for almost 3 years now. My dogs know her and looks forward to drop in visits when I work long hours. She paid special attention to my little guy who seemed to hurt his leg recently. She’s like part of our pack now.”

Arian R.

“This was my first time using Rover and I was really nervous to try it. We have a senior dog that doesn’t travel well and we usually have people come stay or check in on him, but none of them could do it. I searched Rover for people who had good reviews and repeat customers. Leilani agreed to help last minute and it was much appreciated. She checked on our senior guy twice while we were gone overnight, took care of his diaper, and cleaned up any messes he had. She also fed him. She sent pictures and communicated any problems. It looks like he didn’t want to get out of bed so she brought his food to him for one of the feedings, which was a super sweet way to make sure he got food. We would hire her again.”

They have often stayed overnight for days in a row. I love making the pet feel comfortable and loved. I promise to take great care of your pet. I am currently a stay at home mom and we adopted a dog. We are always playing outside and taking walks and would love another dog to join us! I will take care of your pet exactly as you do.

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.

About: I’m an experienced pet sitter with over 20 years of experience caring for pets. I love making new furry friends and ensuring they are happy and comfortable.
