Dog Sitting Holmes

About: Hello, im Annie. I've been a dog lover all my life. I became the care taker for my two family dogs at 18. My boy Shadow, who was 8 and lived to 22. I love all animals and have experience owning and caring for everything from fish to ferrets, to rats and cats, and everything in between. I have two rescues currently in home. I see them as my children/ family and will provide the same quality of love and care to your pup as well. I can give wide spectrum of senior care from hand feeding, to medications, to helping stimulate bowl movements. I can help reinforce training and basic commands in dogs of all ages. And can provide help with some basic training if needed in terms of basic obedience such as name affirmation, sit, stay, and come. The boys know the routine and will help your pup acclimate and learn as well. I am currently home. I may have a doctors appointment here or there, but have enough space to seperate if left unsupervised, and would only create if preferred or necessary. Morning start at varying times and can be based around you pup being dropped off or picked up. Our rountine. 10am wake up. Quick pee break in the side yard before breakfast ( I clean the yard before they are left out). Prepare breakfast. Positive Reinforcement training.

“Maria is very patient and kind working with our extremely anxious dog. We are excited to have her build a relationship with her and take care of her when we go away.”

“Chloe was great at caring for Wilbur and Mesu! Mesu being the "old man", has also been very apprehensive of strangers. I swore Chloe wouldn't even get the chance to meet him. Yet, he came out t9lo greet her and even allowed for scratches! Chloe always showed up on time, and went above to make sure both cats were comfortable.”

“This was the first time we used Rover and we had such a great experience with Megan! She was so patient with our anxious kitty and everything went perfect. We will definitely ask her to sit for us again in the future!”

About: I've been surrounded by pets my whole life. Growing up, I cared for many cats and dogs. I don’t have any animals at the moment. However, I did care for my cat, Susan, and Siberian Husky, Luke, for 15+ years before they both crossed the rainbow bridge in 2019. I know the tender, loving care that’s required to take in an animal and I’m sensitive to the fact that these kittens & pups are your babies! Each dog/cat/pet has a different personality and set of needs based on their breed or lifestyle and I’m prepared to take on any challenge. I’ve had prior experience home/dog/cat sitting and my schedule is pretty flexible. My phone is on hand at all times and I’m more than willing to send you pics throughout our time together! Currently, I have a flexible schedule and am looking to care for cats and pups to fill my days with more furry friends. 🐱 🐶 When I had pets at home, I would care for them by taking them on walks and playing their favorite games. I installed an electric fence for my dog so he could run around and enjoy the outdoors when I couldn’t walk him.

“Friendly and dependable.”

About: I have taken care of my own pets as well as pets of family and friends. I currently have two dogs, Sargent and Spock, and a cat named Chip. I love all animals and most pets warm up to me right away :)) I am currently home in between the college semesters. I am going into my junior year at Saint Anselm College in Manchester, NH as a Psychology and Criminal Justice Double Major. I am currently taking one online class and need work in between homework 😁 I am unable to bring pets to my own home due to my dogs and cat; however, I love to play with dogs outside. Normally, I play with a dog outside, getting them to run around a bit, for as long as they can until they are ready to stop playing. Once the dog is ready to stop playing, I find dogs love to sit in the sun on a sunny day and I will sit outside with the dog until it is time to leave.

“Kristen was always on time and a great communicator. I highly recommend Kristen!”

About: Through my life, I have been a pet parent for several dogs of different ages. Family, friends, and clients have trusted me with their pets since a young age. Dogs from all ages are welcome including those with dietary and medical needs. I’ve made the decision to leave the banking industry after several years to pursue happiness and focus on my passions. Having a flexible schedule allows me to give your pet the care it needs from potty breaks to overnight stays. I love going for walks and hikes and would love for your pet to attend. As a house sitter, I provide specialized care for each pet, ensuring their happiness and safety at all times. My experience includes administering medication as well, if needed.

About: Ever since I was young, I have had a strong love for animals, especially dogs. I grew up surrounded by dogs and currently have two of my own. Over the years, I have pet-sat for neighbors and friends, and I always enjoy caring for and spending time with their pets. At college I am part of a club where we work with and volunteer at the local animal shelters. There are photos on my profile that highlight some of the events on campus I have volunteered at to raise money for the puppies at the local animal shelter. I do also have experience with horses. My experience has strengthened my passion for working with animals and reinforced my commitment to providing them with attentive, compassionate care. I currently have a lot of availability to be able to take care of your pets. I can board and attend to your pets any day of the week. I have a fenced-in backyard and two dogs of my own as well. I have a 10-month-old male English Bulldog and a 3-year-old female French Bulldog. They are both very friendly and love playing with other dogs. At your residence, I will respect any boundaries you may have and provide the best service I can.

About: I’ve cared for both small and large dogs, including two small dogs and a German Shepherd. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, routines, and providing calm, reliable care. Available for drop-ins, dog walks. House sitting/ and overnight available Friday's and Saturday's. Hours flexible except 5:00–10:00am on weekdays only. Please contact me for booking. Responsible and attentive, I ensure a safe and secure environment for your pets. I follow your routine, handle pets gently, and maintain a clean and comfortable space.

About: I’m a reliable pet sitter with hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. At home, I have two dogs and a sweet, feisty kitty, so I’m used to different personalities, energy levels, and routines. From playful walks to calm cuddle time, I make sure every pet gets the care, attention, and comfort they’re used to while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work weekdays and typically get out of work at 3PM on Fridays, which gives me time in the afternoons for check-ins, walks, and spending time with your pets—whether that’s getting your dog out for some exercise or hanging out and giving your cat some attention. Saturdays I usually have open availability as well, making it a great day for longer visits, walks, or drop-ins, as long as I don’t have a ministry commitment or travel scheduled. I’m committed to being reliable and intentional with the time I do have, making sure your pets are cared for and comfortable. I care for pets with a strong focus on safety, consistency, and making them feel comfortable in their environment. In a client’s home, I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I take time to understand each pet’s personality and boundaries so they feel safe and not overwhelmed. I’m mindful of keeping doors secure, monitoring leash safety on walks, and making sure pets are never put in risky situations. I also keep your home respected and tidy while I’m there. When caring for pets in my own home (if applicable for the service), I provide a calm, supervised environment where pets are never left in unsafe situations and are gradually introduced to any new surroundings or animals if needed. I prioritize comfort, structure, and attention so pets feel secure and cared for. Overall, my goal is to create a peaceful, trustworthy experience where your pet feels safe, seen, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I'm here to take the stress off your shoulders. As an animal lover, I’m dedicated to providing your pets with the best care possible. From long walks and fun playtime to plenty of good ol' fashioned love, I’ll make sure they feel right at home. I have had a dog since I was 11 and I have also had two cats. In addition to taking care of my family pets, I have also taken care of many dogs and cats of various sizes and demeanors. I am free most evenings of the week and I am also free most weekends. I would love to use this time to take care of a loving animal. I make it a priority to get to know the animal and make sure there is a sense of trust. I want to ensure that both your animal and I are able to get along well. I enjoy taking dogs on walks and playing with them in the yard.

About: Hi my name is Cory! I love dogs and they seem to know it right away. I have been around dogs since I was 4 years old. I have owned 2 akitas and an English bulldog . My latest Akita Diablo passed away 5 years ago and I haven't gotten another dog since his passing so currently I have no dogs. I only have chinchillas and a hamster as of now. I have a lot of experience working with dogs and they seem to feel relaxed and comfortable when in my care, making this the perfect job for me. I know how to approach these animals in a way that is non-threatening to reduce their anxiety and to help them relax. I can help to maintain the routine they are used to, so they will not get anxious or feel so alone while their owners are away. I have extensive knowledge concerning the different breeds of dogs and I know how to take care of them properly. I understand that some breeds have special needs and that the age of the dog will play a major role in how to take care of them. You can depend on me to provide excellent service and to take great care of your dog/dogs. I know what questions to ask to make sure I understand their specific needs. I will be full time dedicated to your furry child, providing walks and play time as much as needed! There is nothing I wouldn't do to make your dog feel comfortable and keep their schedule to your liking. Please provide a list with your dog's habits so I can make sure they feel at home. Don't hesitate to contact me, I am very flexible with my time, and I will love and care for your dog as my own. I'm currently off from work during the summer and during the school year I only work part time at an elementary school down the road from me (2 1/2 hrs) , So I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I will do anything to make your pup feel comfortable and at home away from home during his stay with me. I love detailed instructions so please feel free to let me know everything about your pet! I have a fenced in yard and 2 children who are huge dog lovers who would love to keep your dog(s) busy and keep them company!

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats since I could walk, so caring for animals has always felt second nature. I also volunteer as a dog walker, socializer, and trainer at Danbury Animal Welfare Society, where I work with dogs of different temperaments, energy levels, and needs. My style is calm, patient, and attentive, whether your dog needs a real exercise walk, your cat needs a quiet check-in, or your older pet just needs someone gentle and consistent. I know trusting someone with your pet and your home is a big deal, so I take reliability seriously. I’ll show up when I say I will, pay attention to your pet’s routine, and send clear updates so you know they’re safe, happy, and cared for. I currently work full time, but my evenings and weekends are often free. I’m a good fit for weekend walks, evening check-ins, drop-in visits, and occasional pet care when your regular routine needs extra support. Because I value reliability, I only accept bookings I know I can show up for fully and on time. I pay close attention to each pet’s body language, comfort level, routines, and boundaries, and I never force interactions with people, dogs, or unfamiliar situations. For walks, I keep dogs securely leashed, avoid unsafe areas, and adjust the pace to the dog’s age, energy, and temperament. I’m comfortable with shy, anxious, energetic, and older pets, and I believe patience and consistency go a long way. For drop-ins, I’ll respect your home, follow your instructions carefully, check food, water, litter, doors, and gates, and send clear updates so you know how your pet is doing.

About: As a college student who genuinely loves animals, I bring both enthusiasm and responsibility to every pet I care for. I have experience watching and caring for dogs of different sizes and temperaments, and I’m very comfortable with daily routines like feeding, walking, playtime, and basic grooming. What sets me apart is my patience and attention to each dog’s individual needs—I understand that every pet has their own personality and comfort level. I’m especially attentive to safety and making sure dogs feel comfortable and happy while their owners are away. I can handle energetic dogs who need lots of exercise as well as older dogs who require a gentler approach and extra care. I’m also dependable, communicative, and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know your pet is in good hands. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care. I’m available most weekdays around my classes and have open availability on weekends. I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I’m happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pet gets consistent care, attention, and companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In your home, I will follow all care instructions closely, maintain your pet’s normal routine, and ensure a calm, clean, and secure environment. I’m attentive to details like locked doors, safe walking practices, and keeping harmful items out of reach. I also take time to build trust with each pet so they feel relaxed and cared for while you’re away. I will keep you updated regularly so you feel confident your pet is safe and happy.
