Cat Sitting in Gilsum

“We needed Amber on short notice and she made herself available to sit for our 3 cats. Everything went smoothly and on time and she did all that we requested. Amber is a very reliable and caring pet sitter.”

“Jordan did a great job looking after my cat and home! A tree fell and took out power lines leading to my place. Jordan contacted Golden Valley right away rather than telling me about it and leaving it up to me while I was 3000 miles away. I won’t hesitate to contact her first next time I have to travel.”

About: I’ve taken care of some very small and some very large dogs. I grew up with an English mastiff and a red and blue healer mix, they were my childhood dogs and I loved them so so much. I’m used to dogs of all personalities! I now have three labs and love how personable they are Currently I work part time, so fitting in pet care after one of work days is easy for me. Feeding your pet lunch or dinner or taking them on their afternoon walk will bring me as much joy as it brings them! I’m really happy to meet new pets as I continue my journey in pet care. I care for my cats and dog at home, they’re all fed in the same room but they have been able to set boundaries with each other so no one is bothering eachother. I clean my kitties litter boxes very often, it’s quite important to have clean litter for your cats, you wouldn’t wanna use a dirty toilet would you? Supplying fresh water in multiple places is very important, I have 4 water dishes throughout my house and a water fountain for my pets. My kitten has been harness trained since he was 3 months old, this has lead to him having a positive reaction to being outdoors and putting the harness on. My dog loves to go on walks, she has some hip issues so it’s important to be on flat ground, our walks aren’t too long but they’re also not too short. All of the pets get their treats every now and again!

“I felt comfortable having Brianna in my home, and my cats were happy and healthy when I returned! Brianna was also great about sending pictures. All Good!”

About: I have a long history caring for animals! I’ve worked with and cared for animals since I was six years old. I began training horses and dogs when I was eleven, and have continued to ever since. I have 2 dogs, a horse and a cat of my own. I’ve owned animals my whole life, never having the house without at least 3 dogs or cats at a time. I run and walk frequently and am happy to bring your pet along, but I’m also happy to stay in with a cat! I’ve cared for family and friend pets, and I’m able to provide all typical pet care and medication administration. I’m currently home from college, so I’m free almost any time! I’m happy to work with you and come up with a schedule that meets you and your pets needs. I’m incredibly mindful of your animals disposition, and any specifications you may have concerning the need of your pet! I’m able to drive to a clients home for sitting.

About: Hi- I’m Skarlet! 😃 I am an avid hiker and dog lover. I have been surrounded by dogs my whole life from when I was a child- my mother has extensive breeding experience with AKC registered German Shepherds. I’m extremely experienced with working around animals and consider myself to be very patient, caring, and attentive! I have experience with dogs of all ages and mannerisms, from young puppies to senior dogs. I study Forestry & Environmental Science at KSC so I am always on cool trails & hiking areas that your dog can come to to get much needed exercise. I have a 2 year old Malinois named Bonnie, who is an extremely social goofball who adores the company of other dogs. If your dog is full of excitement and loves the outdoors, I’m a perfect candidate! I would like to note that I provide services in the general area of Keene, NH. (10mi) Unfortunately I limit my sitting to the local area to ensure that the animals get the most intensive and accessible care. Please send me a message if you have any questions or concerns so I can make your pet’s stay as carefree . I’m currently working full-time, but I work night shift so I am available during the day to do drops or do walks with your dog! I typically do not do boarding myself, but I am available throughout the day to stop in at clients house and make sure that their dog is gone out and is socialized as well as well hydrated.

About: With over 14 years of hands-on experience working with dogs of every size, breed, and temperament, I bring a level of knowledge and confidence that goes far beyond the average pet sitter. From energetic puppies to senior dogs with special needs, I know how to provide the right balance of care, structure, and love. My background in childcare for 4 years has also given me the patience, attentiveness, and reliability that families look for when trusting someone with what matters most. What truly sets me apart is my ability to make pets feel at home—even when their owners are away. Whether it’s a daytime visit, extended care, or overnight stays, I ensure every dog is comfortable, safe, and happy. I don’t just watch pets—I build trust, create a calm environment, and treat each animal as if they were my own. If you’re looking for someone dependable, experienced, and deeply passionate about providing exceptional care, you’ve found the sitter who goes above and beyond. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule with free time in the afternoons after 2 PM, which allows me to provide reliable and consistent pet care. I can visit, walk, and spend quality time with pets during this window, ensuring they receive attention, exercise, and companionship on a daily or weekly basis. I provide pet care exclusively in my clients’ homes, which allows pets to stay in the comfort and familiarity of their own environment. I offer daily visits, playtime, feeding, walks, and overnight stays as needed, tailoring my care to each pet’s routine and personality. While I’m unable to host pets in my own home due to being in college, I ensure that every visit in your home is attentive, safe, and filled with love so your pets feel happy and secure while you’re away.

About: I’ve been a reliable source of pet care for friends & family, whether it be running over for midday potty breaks & walks, doggy daycare or sleepovers at my house! Let me know how I can help you! I am currently a dental hygiene student off for the Summer & I am looking to keep my flexible schedule busy & assist families in need of a professional individual to help care for & love their fur babies while they’re away! I am back and forth from Gilsum, Keene & Swanzey very regularly! I reside on a large-acred, unfenced property with lots of running room & dirt roads to keep your pup busy & happy. I have a sweet & timid pup who would also welcome friends into her home!

“Elias took fantastic care of my tricky kitty, including administering meds in food and dealing with frozen wet food (Smalls) which is trickier than scooping dry food or opening a can. They were very responsive communication-wise and enthusiastic. I will definitely turn to them again for kitty care when I next leave town.”

“Anna is fantastic — my dogs quickly felt at home and immediately fell in love with Anna. She is a natural animal lover and devoted to the care and love of our four-legged friends. I could not more enthusiastically recommend Anna to you!”

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and taking care of them has always felt natural to me. Over the years I’ve had the joy of caring for many different pets/animals. This ranges from dogs to cats to smaller animals like rabbits and hamsters, horses, and even a few cows. Each one had their own little personality, and I took the time to get to know what made them feel safe and happy. Whether I’m feeding them, going for walks, or just sitting with them so they don’t feel alone, I really enjoy being someone animals can trust. Taking care of them never feels like a chore but it’s something I genuinely love. Even as a college student, I make sure pet care fits comfortably into my schedule. I plan my classes and study time so I always have enough space in my day for walks, feeding, playtime, and anything else a pet might need. Having a routine actually helps keep me organized and caring for animals gives me a nice break from schoolwork and something positive to look forward to. I’m very mindful about time management, so I make sure each pet gets consistent attention and doesn’t feel rushed or overlooked. You and your animal can trust me because I truly care about creating a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet I look after. I’ve been around animals my whole life, so I understand how important it is to be patient, gentle, and consistent. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routines, and comfort levels so they never feel overwhelmed or ignored. I’m responsible, reliable, and always put their well-being first. Whether that means sticking closely to your instructions, keeping a close eye on their safety, or simply giving them reassurance when they’re nervous. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease knowing your pet is being cared for with the same love and attention I’d give my own.

About: Are you looking to go out of town for the weekend or for a weeks vacation, but don't want to stress your pet(s) by boarding them? I would be happy to come care for your furry friends at your home, and am comfortable doing overnight stays. I am very comfortable around all dog breeds and sizes. Have a cat or other family pet that needs care as well? No problem! I'm open to caring for animals other than dogs, too, and would love the opportunity to discuss caring for your pets further. Growing up my family always had dogs and cats around, and we also raised 7 dogs for Guiding Eyes for the Blind. For the past 5 years I've been pet/house sitting for others as a way to spend additional time around animals, and provide families with an alternative to boarding. I am licensed, insured, and bonded, as well as pet CPR/First Aid certified. I have exceptional references, and would be happy to provide those upon request. Thank you for your time and consideration, and I look forward to hearing from you! I established my dog walking & pet sitting business in 2016, and have been providing professional pet care as a full-time career ever since. I look forward to meeting you and your pets soon! All services are provided in the comfort of your home, allowing your pets to be in a familiar setting and stress free while you’re away.

About: Animals are what makes me happiest from small to big. I have had all rescue dogs so I’m used to timid personalities, I also was a four year FFA student working with many animal types! I am currently a student athlete attending Keene State College I have a flexible schedule, very much a morning person, happy to help at any time. I currently have a very dog friendly house with a fenced in back yard and a closed in sun porch that is dog approved for catching some sun!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was about 7. In my house hold we currently have three dogs and three cats. The cats all behave and I’ve taught the dogs various proper behaviors and tricks. I’ve helped watch new born puppies as well as older dogs and I’m very confident with taking care of any animal. I’m currently working a part-time along with college but I am completely free all day on Thursdays and Fridays to take care of your animals! Everyone handles their pets differently so I can just stick with the routine you currently have with your pets so as to not confuse them!

About: i’ve always had dogs growing up. I used to walk and bath dogs in middle school and once I became 16 I’ve only had jobs with dogs. I have experience with special needs dogs, old dogs, young dogs, and puppies. i’ve always been reliable and will go above and beyond for every dog. I’m available for dog walking and drop-in’s Monday/Tuesday anytime of day. Wednesday-Saturday before 8:30 am or after 6pm. In addition I’m also available for holidays! I’m able to follow your instructions, scoop yards, crate dogs, play outside, and refresh waters, and make sure your house is 100% secure before I leave. For non fenced in yards I prefer to use a slip lead if you don’t have a martingale collar or chain collar.

“Haley was excellent! Very responsive and took great care of our two kitties. She is a genuine animal person and provided really thoughtful updates (which eases anxiety while away from the fur babies). Will absolutely use her again in the future!”
