About: I have had a dog for the past 11 years and just recently got a second. I am a very lovable person when it comes to animals and care for them deeply. I will take care of your dog as if they were my own and I am very active as I am an athlete and will give them all of the love and attention that they deserve I am a post college student home for the summer and have 2 dogs of my own! I am outside all the time and love spending time with dogs! Whether it’s going on walks, to the dog park or the beach! Spending time with dogs, bring so much happiness and peace into daily life! I love to play with dogs so most of my time will be spent playing with them or if I have another dog in the house they can play with each other as they please. I love to spoil pets and will provide toys and treats if necessary as it creates a better environment for the dogs to enjoy.

“Linda watched our cat, Maka, while we were out of town this past weekend. She was a sweetheart and went over and beyond to make sure Maka was taken care of, sending plenty of pics and videos each time she visited. Very appreciated!”

“Kim helped with a walk for my dog last week. She was very accommodating, even when I made a last minute change in my time request. Also I received a great picture and details about the walk. Very happy with her, I will use her again”

About: I have had pets my whole life and currently have a 14-year-old Havanese named Penny who I adore. I am very reliable, on time and caring. I work full time Mon-Thurs and am available Friday, Saturday and Sunday for dog walking, over night care or boarding.. also can run pet related errands. I can care for your pet either in my home or yours. I am very flexible and reliable. My home is on an acre of land.
“⸻ I’ve been trusting Abhay with my dog for the past four years, and I can’t recommend him enough. He is incredibly reliable and always punctual, which gives me such peace of mind. One of the things I appreciate most is his excellent communication. After each session, he provides thoughtful updates on how things went, which shows how attentive and engaged he is. On the rare occasion when there’s any uncertainty, he doesn’t hesitate to reach out for clarification, which I truly appreciated. It’s clear that he takes both his work and my dog’s well-being seriously. It’s a huge comfort knowing my dog is in such capable and caring hands.”

“Entrusting a beloved pet to someone else’s care can be a daunting experience, filled with concern and apprehension. However, discovering Sam who is both compassionate and highly reliable transforms this process into one of ease and reassurance. I am delighted to share my overwhelmingly positive experience with Sam, whose dedication, attentiveness, and genuine affection for animals have truly enriched the lives of both myself and my girlfriend as well as our cherished companion Bentley. One of the aspects we most appreciated was the consistent and thoughtful communication Sam provided. Each day, I received detailed updates, including photographs and descriptions of our pet’s activities. These messages allowed my girlfriend and I to remain connected with Bentley afar and eased any anxiety we might have felt about being away.”

“Kimberly came over multiple times in a week to let our dog out while my husband was away. She is always on time and gives so much attention to our dog which is so appreciated when he is home alone all day. We can’t recommend her enough!”


About: Hello! I have just moved down to Plymouth from NH where I have been caring for neighborhood pets since I was a child. I am a mom of two young boys and a big goofy black lab named Larry. I love to take walks with my dog and stroller and would love to add your dog along too! I am also able to dog sit for weekends, vacations, whatever need be! Please feel free to reach out and schedule me for whatever your pet family needs. I am free to watch, walk, or care for dogs whenever needed! In the fall I will be teaching so my time will be more limited. I live in a town park with many walking/hiking trails for dogs to explore! There are also plenty of swimming holes for any dogs who are water lovers! I plan to walk with my stroller and baby. I do have my own black lab who loves other dogs who can walk with us or stay home if you prefer! For dog sitting however there are children in the home and my dog but we welcome any family friendly pups!
“I am so very thankful we found Rachel! She was able to watch our cat on short notice and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. She kept us updated by sending lots of pictures of our Harriet and was able to keep us informed on their interaction. Harriet can be quite shy but she warmed up to Rachel in no time. We felt at ease knowing she was in her own surroundings and not cooped up at her regular boarding and we will definitely be using Rachel again!”

About: We have a large, very clean, and safe home with a big backyard. There are plenty of trails and sidewalks for walking around our house as well as a variety of parks nearby we can visit. I stay at home and will be available all day to supervise care for your dog(s). My three teenage kids will help provide care and are very responsible, loving, and diligent caretakers. Our own 2 small (4 lb) chihuahuas, Mocha & Lacey, are used to having other dogs around. When your dog(s) stay with us, you can be sure that they will be well loved, safe, and welcomed into the family as one of our own! We would be happy to keep you updated with pictures of your pet during his/her stay. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions! I currently stay at home and am available to care for your dog for most of the day. My husband also works from home quite a bit and helps as well. We have a large back yard but also love taking the dogs on walks through the nearby trails in the woods. Both my husband an I walk every day so there is plenty of opportunity for your dog to get out.

About: Something I think sets me apart from other sitters is my experience working at a doggy-daycare. That environment and the chaos that comes along with it has prepared me to take care of any dog of any size. Likewise, last summer I spent approximately 2 months unofficially training and dog-sitting a Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy, so I have experience in taking care of younger dogs as well. I also have a bulldog at home, so I have a deep understanding in what it takes to take care of dogs of that nature. Starting Mid-May I will be interning, so depending on my hours I may be more avaiable in the afternoon or mornings. However, that means I have every Sunday free and would be able to pop-in and out frequently. We have an electric fence for my dog, but she does not wear her collar (classic bulldog) so we make sure she is supervised at all times. I will not let any dogs play unsupervised and would only bring them on agreed upon areas to walk, or anything else owners permit.
About: I absolutely love animals, especially dogs. I have been an animal lover and pet owner my whole life but have been a professional pet care specialist for 7+ years. I now work in an animal hospital but in the past I managed a doggy daycare for 2 years and worked for professional dog walking companies for a total of 4 years. I specialized in the hiking program but I can do it all when it comes to your fur babies. From hiking, walking, park trips, in home pet sitting, administering medication, work on reinforcing basic commands and even checking in on your feline friends! I currently work for an animal hospital but still have time to spoil your fur babies. I am available Saturday through Monday and most early mornings, afternoons and evenings throughout the rest of the week. I am based in Pembroke but open to traveling. My dog and cats live a very spoiled life and get treated like royalty and I will care for your pets the same way. I will ask you questions about their daily schedule so that I can replicate it to my best ability when they are in my care.
About: I have taken care of dogs of ever since I was 9. I love to run and walk with dogs! I hope I have to pleasure of taking care of your dog /dogs! ❤️ My schedule in the summer is complete free. I am very flexible and mostly always available. If something conflicts with a scheduling I will notify you at least one day beforehand! For Dog Walking: As I mentioned before I love long and short run as well as walks! Drop in visits will consist feeding, potty breaks and affection of course!

About: I have many years of pet sitting experience as well as three dogs myself. I am training my second service dog (who will not accompany me while I work… don’t worry!) as well as dabbling in the AKC show and sport world. and this summer I will be enrolling in a vet assistant certification program! I have both owned and cared for every size, from XL to XS. truly nothing scares me… medical needs, reactivity, a pet who needs some extra time and care to adjust, or your average golden who loves everyone! There are very few pets i am not comfortable with… and I prioritize honesty and safety above all else. early mornings and late nights work best for me! I am free most weekends and will always try and be as flexible and honest as possible. In a clients home, I will always ask as many questions as needed to familiarize myself with the environment and your pets favorite play, sleep, and hiding spots. an emergency plan is something i always love to establish, and I am never scared to send a quick text to clarify something!
About: I’m familiar with crate training, leash manners, basic obedience, and socialization needs during early development stages. I understand how to assist aging animals with mobility issues, administer medications, and keep them comfortable and calm. I’m trained in basic pet first aid and know how to respond to common emergencies. I’m currently working as a Unit Coordinator and Bartender! I’m currently available weekdays from 7am-2pm I enjoy taking time in the outdoors and decided that it would be beneficial for me and peoples pets! When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, my top priority is ensuring their comfort, safety, and well-being. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs and routine.
