“Carlea was great with my pets. I felt comfortable leaving my many animals while I was on vacation. I received quick responses when I texted for updates. 100% would recommend.”


“We’ve had Amber drop in on a few separate occasions now and have had a great experience each time. She’s been attentive to both dogs behaviors and makes sure to check in with questions or concerns. I have a peace of mind when Amber visits if I’ll be away from home for an extended time during the day. Based on the photos, the dogs definitely have a great time with her too!”


“So happy I found Daniel because I know June is getting all kinds of love, attention and mental and physical exercise. He’s a real pro and clearly loves what he does.”


About: I’ve taken care of Dogs,Cats and even farm animals for various different people at different times. Plus I’ve grown up and been around animals since I was a baby, along with owning a bunch of animals myself. I’m available every weekday afternoon, but im unavailable on Thursday (things may change and my time of availability during the day might change as well). And on the weekends I’m available pretty much anytime so I’m very Flexible timing wise. I’ve got plenty of time to snuggle and play with your fury friends and if you have multiple pets none of them will feel left out. I myself have two dogs that are very friendly and love to play together. My neighbors have 2 dogs who are also super friends and love to play as well. I live on a farm so I’m surround by animals. When I go to take care of someone else’s animals I also like well laid out instructions on how you take care of your pet just so I can to it the same way and not Change or mess up a routine. I love the animals I take care of as if they were my own, and will most definitely fall in love with them!

“Heather is wonderful! We have an anxious reactive dog and Heather was understanding of her needs and was patient as she warmed up. Heather is very communicative and is a great caretaker! Thank you Heather!”


About: As a psychiatric nurse, I offer gentle, attentive care to people in vulnerable moments. I bring the same calm, respectful presence to the pets I care for. Their feelings and situations are accounted for while I tend to their personal needs. I work part-time on an as needed basis and can work around the schedules of my clients. Available on short notice, including nights, and 12-24 hours' notice is preferred. I have a lightly fenced yard and two friendly dogs. A canine guest may be offered crating for sleep, or they are welcome to bring their own bed. Must be cat friendly. If caring for a pet in a client's home, care will be provided in their own environment precisely as they are used to.

“One of my dogs can he anxious around people but I'm the second day of dog sitting Iris sent me a picture of him being playful and happy. Clearly she made him at ease. I booked this somewhat last minute and I appreciate it is coming over to meet them and learn about our needs. Will add Iris to our list of trusted humans.”


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.

“Kaila is outstanding, professional and kind to my sweet critters. I appreciate her working with our little rambunctious pup as she recovered from surgery. Very communicative, on time and responsive.”


“Sawyer did a great job! She sent pics of the dogs with each visit and even played ball with our younger guy. I am thrilled to have found her and feel confident leaving our pets with her. I highly recommend Sawyer.”


About: I'm used to big dogs, even slightly aggressive or unruly dogs, well-behaved as well as meek dogs. They all need exercise! 20 years ago I trained over the winter season with an accomplished sled dog team and completed a 30-mile sled dog race. I also have experience raising our Australian Cattle Dog from 9 weeks. ACDs are little velociraptors, but we got through it and she's now a well-behaved adult. I currently have a fairly open schedule. I work in dog walking around my own regular dog walking, running, going to the gym and home tasks and chores. Monday - Saturday are my available days, my Sundays are mostly full. I'll come to your home and walk your dog in your neighborhood if you prefer, but my favorite activity is walking dogs on local trails in the woods and hills. We'll talk about what your dog is up for, and if you're unsure, we can start with easy hikes. For drop-in visits I'll ask you about your dog and what your expectations are and any special needs or instructions, and I'll take it from there.

About: I have had animals my whole life and always also have been employed in animal care fields. Personally have 5 dogs and 4 cats. I also have experience with farm animals including horses. I am currently working part time and have a very flexible schedule. I can always adjust my day as needed to fit your desired schedule. I understand the importance of routines for your pets and with a flexible schedule can always make sure their needs are met and they are happy and stress free.

“Whytne was amazing - they were communicative and took such good care of our cats! They also did an amazing job making sure the house was cared for and offered to help more when inclement weather occurred. I really appreciate the attention to detail and would book again!”


“Mady, was great. I have a 14 year old Chihuahua who can be temperamental and she liked Mady right away. She also communicated and reassured me everything was going well while being in my home. I definitely will be using Mady again!!”


“Deanna was always on time, sent several photos every visit, and kept my dog great company while I was away. My place was clean and my dog happy and safe when I returned. I would gladly hire Deanna again!”


About: Ever since I was a kid I have loved caring for pets, specially my own dogs of over 10 years. A few years ago one of mine went blind and needed shots every day, so I am experienced with special pet circumstances! I work part-time Wednesday night thru Sunday mornings, I have lots of free time in between and would be happy to spend it with animals. I do not have space in my own home so I would be going to my client's and am happy to do whatever works for them.

About: I've had dogs of various breeds since I was 7, and participated in competitive dog obedience and agility training in high school. I love to go on walks, and would look forward to getting to known your pet! I work from home, so I am around most if not all of the time. Our backyard is fenced and I love to take regular walks! I can care for your pet at my home or yours! Let me know your pets needs and we can find a schedule that best suits you.


About: Hi! I'm Nicole. I'm a software developer & animal lover. I've been around dogs since I was little and have always wanted to adopt one. Caring for dogs with busy owners is a great compromise! Dog owners will love that I will treat their furry pal as if they were mine. They will also love that I have private outdoor space for playtime, anytime, and am right next to central park so there's alot of ground for your furry friend to explore! I truely care about your pets well being so I am consistent with feeding time and will always make sure your furry friend is comfortable, whether its brushing her or refilling her water bowl. I am available Wednesdays and the Weekends for pet sitting, walking, and house sitting. If you are going away for a weekend and need someone to house & pet sit, I'm your girl!

About: I started taking care of neighborhood animals when I was 12 years old and continued down this path of animal care and rescue into my adulthood. I took care of a childhood dog for 16 years of my life before rescuing three of my own as an adult. All three of my rescues have their own unique behavioral issues. One I cannot have around small children from trauma inflicted on her by them. My other cannot regulate her emotions when she gets overstimulated, and my youngest is a deaf and mostly blind double merle! I have taken care of my own pets, taken care of countless neighborhood pets, and I have also worked on a horse farm where I was trusted to take care of the horses, donkeys, and pigs. My passion is taking care of animals. My empathy for them is great and its my goal to make sure that even the saddest animals have a full life and find happiness. I also like to make sure that when they are missing their families I can make them as happy, loved and cared for as possible until their families return. I currently work full time and have Mornings, Evenings and Weekends free with flexibility to take time off throughout the day to care for animals who need more frequent attention. Unfortunately, due to my own three rescue dogs at home I will not be able to take pets back to my house for care at this time.

She is also so great with animals, and I have personally seen her watch and care for many pets (including my own). In all this, she has never cut corners - instead, she finds out what the owner wants and what's best for the pet, then does it to the best of her ability. Laura is terrific and I would hands down recommend her services to anyone.”

Emma C.
“I've known Emma's dogs and Emma for nearly ten years and I'm still impressed by how much energy she gives and takes from her pups. All three of her dogs are very different but she runs with them according to what they need. She makes sure her old lady doesn't get too bothered by the puppy, makes sure the puppy knows what not to bother (the puppy was born with congenital eye issues), and ensures that her energetic middle child gets the running she needs. I've seen her walk all three up an old gravel carriage road with a smile on her face. I frankly can't imagine a canine situation she could not handle.”
