“Kat was more than amazing! We left our pup with her for 10 days and she not only took amazing care but also documented all of her food intake and stool health. Constantly took pictures! I’m sure this will not be the last time we leave our pup with Kat. We couldn’t have chosen a better sitter!”

“I highly recommend taking your dog to Emily. She took good care of my dog and kept me updated on how he’s been and sent me pictures of him throughout the time he spent with her.”

“Cassy did a great job of Sadie while we took a 10 day adventure out west! She regularly communicated with us and sent pictures. Sadie came home tired, which is a sign that she had lots of fun! I will definitely use Cassy again!”

“Our first time ever using Rover and Krystal made this process so easy and was an absolute life saver after last minute needing someone to keep our doggy! She kept us updated on Mav everyday… sent pictures AND videos!! Maverick was very nervous being in a new environment and scared of the bad thunderstorms but Krystal definitely did it all to keep his mind occupied and let him know he was safe… that made us feel so good! Thank you for caring our pup❤️❤️❤️”

“Caitlin goes above and beyond as always. We wouldn’t recommend her if we didn’t stand behind her service 100%. Our pup is always happy to see her and we are never hesitant to leave him behind when we have to go away without him.”


“I can't thanks enough to Ann. She was loving and caring. My doggy had a great time there. Ann sent me several photos a day to keep me posted. I would definitely contact her when I'm in town. Thank you!”

“Wendy was so great! We felt a little anxious to leave our three dogs for five days until we found her. She knew our personalized instructions for each of our dogs when we met and thought of many things we hadn’t. Every question we asked, she seemed to have already thought through. She was very open and informative. While we were away, Wendy sent us multiple photos and updates daily, which we really appreciated. She went the extra mile in making both us and our dogs feel comfortable. We appreciate her and plan to use again if all goes accordingly with our next trip near the area! :)”

About: I’ve worked with dogs for years, starting as a dog walker in Boston MA to then owning my own pet-related business, including Lexi’s Lucky Pup K9 Care in Manchester, NH (2023) and Lexi’s Paws & Peace Grooming in Pawtucket, RI (2025). I have experience with all different personalities, breeds, and energy levels. I’m very patient, attentive, and good at reading animals, especially dogs that are anxious, shy, or high energy. I prioritize safety, comfort, a low-stress environment, and of course making sure pets have fun! I also work in senior caregiving, so being responsible, communicative, and detail-oriented comes naturally to me. I know how important it is to trust the person watching your pets, and I try to make owners feel as comfortable as possible through updates, photos, and consistency. I work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule and can usually accommodate different routines, potty schedules, walks, and drop-off/pick-up times. I currently live full-time in an RV in a quiet campground setting - and yes, I know that probably sounds unexpected at first (e) — but it's actually a calm, nature-filled environment with a fully fenced-in yard and lots of supervised outdoor time. Pets are welcome to relax wherever they're most comfortable, whether that's on the couch, on my bed, in a dog bed, outside in the fenced yard, or even lounging outside with me on the lawn chairs getting fresh air. I work from home, so pets get lots of supervision, companionship, potty breaks, outdoor time, and interaction throughout the day.
“So we have never ever left our 2 fur babies with anyone besides our daughter's. When we did a meet & great with Shirley & Jeff and read all the reviews, we knew these two were the best. We felt so comfortable at their home and so did our babies. All the time we were gone we got a picture of our babies enjoying their staycation ? it was absolutely Awesome. We would highly recommend these two great people for their babies! ?? We Loved them so much we booked them again for the middle of July! Thank You Again Shirley & Jeff for being Awesome to our Fur Babies ❤”

“Kathy is truly amazing! My hound dog is not like other dogs and needs a lot of reassurance, love and space to feel space! Kathy provides just that environment. She responded to me promptly each time I check in on keepsake and made sure he was happy and well cared for! I can’t thank her or recommend her enough!”

“Laura is amazing! She is caring and kept us up to date with pictures and text messages. When our Allie wasn’t eating, she coaxed her by hand feeding her and made sure she was getting her meds. I 100% recommend Laura and will be using her again when needed.”
