“Jessica and her family were lifesavers! They took our two dogs last minute and loved on them so well. They did such a good job of integrating our dogs and sending lots of pictures during their stay. Our dogs came back so happy.”
About: I grew up with dogs, since I can remember, I was watching all of my neighbors dogs before I was even old enough to work. I have no problem, administrating medication‘s, or even giving them a bath or doing their nails. I love animals so much that one day I hope to grow up and have a big piece of land so that I can hold a sanctuary for all the animals I can give a good home too and rehabilitate. This is my full-time job watching your loved ones and helping out in anyway I can so I am fully and completely at your disposal. I have an un fence yard currently so unless you’re comfortable with having them be off the leash I’ll take them for a walk or to a dog park with your permission. I don’t mind animals on my furniture, but if I were in your home and that’s not cool with you, just let me know. All I wanna do is provide comfort and enjoyment while giving you the ability to relax knowing your pet is in good hands.
“Charles & Christina are fantastic dog sitters! Our dog stayed with them for just over a week and had the best time with their sweet dog Emily, cat, and other furry friend. I was nervous about leaving him for so long but the many updates that I got put my mind at ease. Highly recommend Charles & Christina if you need a home away from home for your pup.”
“Two days before Thanksgiving my confirmed Rover sitter was MIA. Luckily Nikki came through for us! Being a puppy Mom of a 13 year old with heart conditions, I was extremely nervous to leave the state with Blitz at someone else’s home. As soon as we met Nikki we knew he was in good hands. She welcomed him with open arms and didn’t not get overwhelmed with his social dietary needs and medications. Her house is perfect for dogs that want to play, eat and be lazy...which pretty much sums up our pups life. We are thankful for Nikki this Thanksgiving! Highly recommend her dog friendly home!”
“This was our first time using a pet sitter/doggy daycare, so we were a little anxious and didn't know what to expect. Jennifer was amazing and did such a wonderful job with our pup! We will definitely be asking her to sit him whenever we need the help from now on! What a fantastic experience!”
“Grace took such good care of my high energy Aussie puppy while I was away for a week! She has a great house and huge yard for pups. I got frequent updates and photos and would definitely board with Grace again in the future!”
About: We live in the country on Thompson Lake. We have almost 10 acres for walking and running with our dogs. We are retired and love our dogs. Looking for a little income and exercise to keep the old bodies from falling apart. So care for dogs and walking them while here or wherever we care for them fits the bill. We have two beagles (mom and daughter) both with great temperaments. Our land is mostly field we use radio collars and have no issues with our dogs staying in the yard. They hunt together every morning giving them lots of exercise.
About: 🐾 Need a place for your furry friends to hang for the day? Overnight care? Visiting the area and want a safe place to leave your dog for an afternoon of two? Going on vacation? Regular day care while you are at work? Playtime and exercise? Walking and check/ins? I can do that! 💕 I currently have one 30lb lab mix, Ruby, who is a year old- she is very sweet- loves other dogs and people! 🐾 We go on at least one long walk in the woods on our property every day- sometimes adventuring to the river for a dip, or out on the local, less-popular hiking trails. We know all the secret spots ; ) 💕 I love having a little dog pack around, and love watching them play and run together. I believe in providing plenty of outdoor time for playing, sniffing, exploring, listening to nature, or sitting in the sun- whatever your dog needs to be happy! I will meet them where they are at to ensure they are comfortable in a new environment. Leashes will be used until we are sure it’s fine to take them off. 🐾 Trained in basic doggie 101-we usually have basic manners and recall in practice for healthy treats and affection-especially for puppies- and can provide a crate, comfy couch or bed if your pup needs a space to retreat. 💕 My only requirement for care in my home is that your dog must get along with other dogs and cats. I will gate the stairs to keep some separation, so if your dog is “cat curious” but intimidating, they will all have their own space to relax. 🌟 Local residents of Chatham, Conway and Fryeburg looking for regular care (3 or more days a week) please reach out about joining the “Wolf Pack” for discounts/ local rates! 🌟 🐾 I work from home mostly, and have a flexible schedule. Pet care is perfect for my lifestyle! 🌲 We are outside a ton- gardening, hiking, xc skiing, swimming- adventuring on our property and in the surrounding National Forest. 🐾 I would prefer dogs that are good off-leash and have good social skills- I will always keep your dog on leash if I feel they are not okay otherwise. I only take 3 at a time the most, in-addition to my own pup. We live on a very private property with an open yard offering plenty of space to run and play. We have a comfy animal-friendly couch and a screened-in porch with a queen-size bed for your pups to nap outside without being “loose”. I have one pup who will be happy to keep your pup company! They will be able to go in and out freely in a natural home setting, (as long as they are okay off leash) and your dog will be cared for like our own. If I visit your home, I would typically have my dog with me to play with yours- unless you specify otherwise. Each visit would be an hour of play and affection, outdoor time, feeding, water, etc.
“I had a minor medical event which resulted in my having to stay an extra night and Celeste was very flexible and took the best care of Edie. Edie was very happy to run and play in Celeste's yard with other dogs. I highly recommend!”
