“Deborah popped in for an hour visit with our dog corn at the last minute on a holiday weekend and we couldn’t be more happy with how accommodating she is. I would highly recommend her for any pet service!”


“Took care of my two cats and did a great job! They warmed up to her very quickly even though they’re usually pretty skittish. I came home to find their dishes full and litter clean. She did a fantastic job of taking care of my babies”


“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.

“Haley was a wonderful caretaker for our two cats! We got plenty of updates and pictures. Both cats took to her immediately and soon they were playing and making biscuits 🥰. We appreciate the time she spent getting to know them and would definitely book again!”


“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.”

I always make sure that the pet is fed and walked before leaving the house and as soon as I get back. Depending on the location, I might be available to take the dog/dogs out for a short walk during a shift. For drop ins, I am available for feeding twice a day and 3 walks a day. I am very attentive to the needs of a pet. I make sure that they are well taken care of. I limit cell use while walking your pups. I do not smoke, drink, or use recreational drugs. I have a lot of experience with reactive dogs. I always do my absolute best to assure the safety of your pups, other people, and other pets that we might come in contact with. I spend as much time with them as possible. I am able to do extra light cleaning in your home, as well as clean up after myself.

About: I’ve interned at my local vet clinic for two years now and have recently moved to a paid position as an assistant! through this internship i have not only learned substantial knowledge regarding pet care, such as how to most effectively administer medications, but also discovered my love for pet sitting, as i have become one of the veterinarian’s permanent pet sitter! i also plan to go to vet school after i earn my bachelors degree! i am currently working various part time jobs, so i will need at least two weeks notice for a majority of the services i provide. i will try my best to arrange my schedule for your convenience! i’ll treat your furry family like my own! i come with treats ready (with permission of course) and never leave without a game of fetch or whatever else your babies might enjoy! they’ll definitely be the highlight of my day, so i’ll try to be there’s too!

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.

“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!”


“Laura kept my cat fed and entertained while I was hiking in the mountains, and out of range. I came home to a happy purring cat an didn't get the usual cold shoulder that I get when I've been away. Communication was great and reassuring to pick up in the few spots where I could find a signal.”


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: I have been caring for people's furry (and sometimes not furry) babies regularly for the past 8 years. I have cared for dogs and cats, who have needed medicine and who have not, and who have needed extra special care and attention around walks. Most of my experience is around short and long-term overnights/stays, but can come for just walks or other shorter term care as well. 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!

Ayden H.
“Ayden is the absolute best! His passion for animals shows through in the way that he connects with and cares for my two Rottweilers. He won over my puppy during her “stranger danger” phase, and now she is pretty much obsessed with him. When she had orthopedic surgery, he was attentive to her needs and made sure she was comfortable. He was so gentle with her during bathroom breaks and playtime. My dogs are always excited to see him, and I’m pretty sure they prefer his presence to mine. Ayden is responsible, reliable, trustworthy, and Na’vi & Neytiri approved.”

Laura R.
“I cannot say enough good things about Laura! She is incredibly responsible, efficient, hardworking, and kind. She shows up on time for every job and makes sure to get all the details right. 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.”


Razz C.
“Razz has been my go-to dog care and sitter for about 7-8 years! They have come over to walk my 2 dogs on occasion but mostly I ask them to house and dog sit when we are away. I trust them completely - to care and love my dogs, to care for our house, to reach out if anything comes up ... and with 2 senior dogs, things do come up. During a recent dog sitting time, one of my dogs woke up and couldn't put weight on his leg. Razz was an outstanding care partner - we were far away and worried. Razz helped us to coordinate getting help for our fur baby. In addition to being reliable, they are a gentle soul that cares about the earth and world and is super amiable.”
