“Maggie is always a good caregiver for our Westie, Archie, who is one year old. Her calm manner seems to be a good match for this feisty little guy. She is reliable and communicates quickly with us, sending photos and notes while we're away.”


“Jolene was a great, last minute find for house sitting and watching our two dogs. She gave us regular updates on their day and was super communicative. Our pups were happy and relaxed when we came home and the house looked like we never left! We feel so lucky to have found her and look forward to booking with her again soon!”


About: Hi, I’m Ayden — your pet’s new favorite friend! 🐾 As a lifelong animal lover, most of my experience comes from caring for my own family pets — from playful puppies and curious kittens to sweet seniors and even a feathered friend. I’ve had the joy of loving animals big and small, couch potato and high energy. We recently said goodbye to our special needs dog after 8 amazing years together. I live with my wife and our 3 fur babies in a quiet neighborhood with a large (unfenced) backyard that’s perfect for safe, supervised play. I also do all my own grooming and love keeping pets looking and feeling their best. As a full-time realtor with a flexible schedule, I’m able to give your pets the time and attention they deserve. I’m conveniently located at the borders of New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Vermont, so I’m happy to serve pet parents across all three states! Whether your companion needs a walk, some company, or overnight care, I treat every pet like my own family. Let’s connect — I’d love to meet you and your furry friend! I am a realtor so I make my own schedule! Fitting in pet sitting will be absolutely no issue, and I am able to accommodate any existing routine your pet might have. Care for your pets will be based off their individual needs, as well as yours! In my home, my dogs are always crate trained for their safety and the safety of other pets in the home. Outside time will be on-leash until trust is built.

“Stacie took great care of our three dogs! She was also tidy while staying in our home, and was a great communicator. We wouldn’t hesitate to have her watch the pups again, and would highly recommend her services.”


“Truly wonderful dog and cat sitter: James did a phenomenal job caring for our three animals, one of whom is very anxious. It is a relief to find someone so kind-hearted and caring for our animals while we were away--it's not just a paycheck! I would hire James again in a heartbeat: an unreserved, enthusiastic five stars!!”


“Mady is terrific - she took excellent care of Zena. Her dog Sebastian was a great playmate for Zena and helped make the time we were away fun for her. Mady used good judgement and was responsible. She's also very pleasant and a pleasure to work with. I'd definitely recommend her and would be happy to use her again.”


“Deanna is absolutely wonderful! She has such a warm, calm energy which is an ideal for animal care. I never have to worry when I leave my dog as she is very equipped to deal with anything that may arise. My dog becomes very relaxed in her care. I will continue to schedule house sitting with Deanna moving forward without a doubt.”


“Emily immediately connected with Frankie, kept him calm and happy in a new setting (we were traveling for a wedding). I’d hire her again in a heartbeat when I’m next in the area. She even gave him an insulin shot which she’d never done before! Top notch sitter.”

About: I have been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember. Walking, feeding, and bathing both dogs and cats. I consider my pets family members! All of my babies are rescues. I have trained my dog through the GoodPup app and he knows the commands sit, stay, lay down, up, paw, leave it, heal, touch, and find it. All my pets are given enrichment activities throughout the day. They’re also stimulated with play/exercise. I know dog and cat body language. I have worked with dogs that have seizure disorders and know how to administer medication to both cats and dogs. I’m work Monday to Friday with my weekends free and open. My work schedule is Monday-Friday 8:30am to 4:30pm. I can take dogs for long walks, stimulate them through play, or with enrichment activities. I can administer medication if needed. For cats I can clean the litter box and stimulate them through play or enrichment activities. I can administer medication if needed. Pet safety is my first priority.
