“Deborah went over and above for my four legged family. Her regular updates kept me informed, and made my time away a little easier. She even dealt with a heating issue that came up. I am so grateful”


“We had a great experience with Lori house sitting our American Bully & Pit mix. Lori asked questions ahead of time, reviewed our instructions, and sent us text and photo updates. We couldn't have asked for anything more. We really appreciated all of her communication.”


“Kailie did a great job house sitting and watching our two dogs while we were away on vacation. She sent regular updates, the dogs looked happy and she left the house very clean.”


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.

“Laura is amazing...Friendly, professional, and patient! Our mini aussie can be a handful with his 1 year old crazy and demanding puppy energy, and Laura handled him like a champ. We loved getting pics and videos, and he received lots of attention, and treats. Thank you Laura!”


“Kate was a wonderful dog and house sitter! Our two dogs were better off then when we left as Kate did some training with them. They took lots of walks and seemed very happy and healthy. The house was great as well.”


“Hayley is AMAZING!! One of my cats is very social and the other is shy. She got BOTH of them playing, brushed them, and made sure they knew they were loved on top of the bare minimum of feeding them and giving my old lady her meds. She even checked to make sure my hamster was still breathing while I was away since it was always during my hamster’s sleep time that she was there. Highly recommend. Will be using again if I ever am going away and she is available”


“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!!”


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.

Currently I am a full time college student with some days less packed than others, so im happy to work on setting up times and dates that work best for you! 47 acres of woods, if dog has poor recall a leash will be kept on to avoid getting loose or lost. In own and clients home, dietary needs and feeding times will be stuck to as to ensure that your furry friend is as comfortable as possible.

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.

About: I have been caring for people's furry (and sometimes not furry) babies regularly for the past 8 years.

I mainly work remotely and have a flexible schedule right now, so I am often available for last minute requests in addition to in-advance ones. In general, I work best with clear instructions. If you outline what you're looking for and what you're needing to best support your fur babies, I will make sure those things happen!
