Dog Sitting in Kensington

“Tucker absolutely loved all the attention he received! Thank you so much for taking such good care of him while we were away!”

“Nicole was terrific! She did a great job getting our older & very shy cat to take her medicine and overall took wonderful care of our two cats while we were away. It was great to know that they were in such good hands and we would definitely ask Nicole to sit for us again.”

“Erica has been such a wonderful caregiver for our two kitties! She is so communicative and I felt so at ease after reading her reports after each check-in. She gave our boys lots of TLC and we truly appreciate her thoughtful care!”

“Janine is amazing! She was very attentive to our diabetic cat and showed him tons of love and affection! She administered daily insulin shots as required twice a day. Janine also sent us daily photos of her visits, which were appreciated. Our cat fell in love with her ♥️. We highly recommend Janine for your pet sitting needs. Thanks again Janine, you were awesome!”

“Owen was great to work with. He added an extra visit in with no issues when one of my other sitters dropped out. We will keep him in mind for future visits.”

Julie C.

“Jamie was terrific for Drop-In visits for our golden retriever! Responsive, timely, reliable, great communicator and updates. Best part was how comfortable our pup was with her and happy she was when we got home. Clearly well cared for and loved while we were away. Highly Recommmend!”

About: I have always loved animals, especially dogs. They have a special place in my heart! I have been dog walking/sitting since high school. Throughout college, I helped friends with their pets when they needed. Post college, I have consistently dog sat since graduating in 2021. I have also dog walked here and there, but more so sitting. Please feel free to contact me at any time! I would love to help you out if I can :) I currently work part time as a nanny. Tuesdays, Fridays, and weekends are completely open for me! Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays I nanny 7:30 to 3. I do have the ability to check in during the day if need be! I am comfortable with feeding, giving medicine, playing, and taking them on walks. I'm open to learning how to do other things as well if needed.

“Josh was great to our pets for our 2+ week trip away. Rain or shine, extreme muggy heat, no matter what he made sure our pup got needed exercise and both pets were cared for. He reliably showed up at a similar time each day too which allowed the pets to feel some routine without us there. We would definitely work with Josh and Nicole again. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy time away knowing our pets were in such good hands!!!”

“Lydia has been pet sitting for us for nearly a year and she is wonderful, could not recommend her more! She’s great with all our pets who have varying medical needs and even our shy nervous cat loves when she comes by.”

About: Hello! My name is Alexyss, and I have never lived in a house without pets until college. I have genuinely missed the company of animals, and would love to spend my time with them. My family always had multiple dogs in the house, and I have helped birth and raise puppies and kittens more than once. I’m trying to primarily focus on dog walking, but am open to the occasional pet sitting. Because of my extensive experience, I’m pretty much the first person my friends and family call when they need someone to watch their furry family members. I can’t bring them to my house because I have an allergic roommate. All breeds and sizes are beautiful, and I’d love to meet your animals. Hope to hear from you! I have a regular 9-5 M-F job. So I am slightly limited during week days. However, I can still either stop by or stay at your home on those days. I am available on weekends. I also have half days on Friday (I get out at 12). I used to be a nanny, which is obviously different, but it means that I am very good at following the rules set by clients and catering to their needs.

“Cecelia was wonderful ! Amazing communication from start to finish. Took great care of our boy Myles . Definitely would recommend and will be using her services again.”

Penny L.

“Thank you so much!”

About: I graduated from college with a degree in Veterinary Technology. I currently work at vet hospital in Maine. I have been with animals all my life. And have two of my own. I work full time so during the week days afternoon potty time will be hard but if they can handle over 6+ hours of being alone then it will work perfectly. I would care for your animal at your house so it will be easier on your animal and not be anxious when at a new place. I will give them lots of cuddles and love. I treat them like they are my own. We will play all sorts of games too.

“Tati is so wonderful. She was attentive, gentle, kind and very communicative. We felt so comfortable that our puppy was in good hands and felt that Tati went above and beyond.”

About: Raised around Rottweilers and American Bulldogs, large and powerful breeds are my specialty. Strong understanding of canine body language, trust building, and maintaining calm, controlled walks. Some hands on experience around horses, riding and helping with barn chores, built early awareness of animal behavior, responsibility, and safety across different environments. A love for the outdoors means dogs get full, engaging walks in any weather, never rushed or cut short. Whether your pup prefers slow, strolls or a brisk, energy burning walk, each visit is tailored to their needs. Available morning through evening for early walks, midday check ins, and consistent, reliable care. Updates while your pet is in my care are always available. I have plenty of time in both the mornings and late afternoons for check ins and walks! I can do mid day let outs and check ins upon request. Care is always focused on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and as close to their normal routine as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely including feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, medication (if needed), and any specific routines or preferences. I also make sure pets get attention, enrichment, and calm interaction based on their personality, whether that means playtime, companionship, or simply quiet presence. For cats especially, I prioritize a low stress approach by respecting their space and letting them set the pace of interaction. I pay attention to behavior and body language to ensure they feel secure and unbothered while their owner is away. During each visit, I focus on cleanliness, safety, and consistency, and I provide updates so you know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make your absence feel as normal and stress free as possible for your pet.

“Paige did a fantastic job watching our two kittens for two weeks while we were out of the country. She gave daily updates with photos and was quick to communicate when she found a potential issue with the automatic feeders. Both of our kittens quickly warmed up to her and we will absolutely use her services again in the future! :)”

About: To me, your pet isn’t just an animal—they are your child, and they deserve to be treated like royalty. Having dogs of my own all my life and having spent over a decade pet-sitting, and previous experience working at a doggy day care, I’ve truly seen it all. I naturally prefer the company of animals to humans, and that deep connection reflects in how I care for your fur babies. Here is exactly what I bring to the table: * **Patience & Communication:** I don’t force a routine on a pet. I am incredibly patient and take the dedicated time to truly learn your pet's unique personality and how they communicate their needs to me. * **Puppy Management & Training Support:** If you have a brand-new puppy, I understand the delicate balance of consistency they need. I am experienced in reinforcing potty training schedules, crate training, basic manners, and managing that wonderful, goofy puppy energy so their progress doesn't stall while you're away. * **Specialized Senior & Delicate Care:** Older dogs hold a very special place in my heart. I have extensive experience assisting senior dogs who just need a gentler touch, a slower pace, or extra patience adjusting to new environments and pets. * **A Safe Haven for "Scaredy Dogs":** Not every pet is an immediate social butterfly. If your dog is anxious, shy, or easily startled, my gentle, intuitive approach gives them the space they need to feel safe and secure at their own pace. Whether you have a chaotic, playful puppy or a sweet senior citizen who just wants to snooze, I promise to love and protect them like my very own. (And please, tell your dog I said hi!) My Schedule & Availability I do work a full-time job 5 days a week from **8:00 AM to 6:00 PM**, but my schedule is highly predictable, allowing me to build a consistent and reliable routine for your pets. Here is how I make sure your four-legged kids get plenty of love and attention: * **Overnight House Sitting:** I am fully available for overnights! I will spend the evening, night, and early morning keeping your pets company, ensuring they are safely tucked in and never lonely. * **Mid-Day Lunch Breaks:** If your home is within 10 minutes of North Hampton, I can easily pop in during my lunch break for a quick potty relief, a leg stretch, and a round of midday scratches. * **Sundays are for Spoliation:** Sundays are my official day off, and I dedicate the entire day to the animals! ### Custom Adventures for Every Personality When I am off-clock, I love tailoring the day to whatever makes your pet happiest. I am always happy to provide: * **Beach & Hiking Outings:** If your dog loves long walks near the beach or exploring a local hiking trail, I am the perfect match. * **Backyard Fun & Games:** For the puppies and high-energy dogs, I’m always down for intense games of tug, fetch, or backyard playtime. * **Cozy Snuggle Marathons:** If your sweet senior dog or royal cat prefers a quiet day on the couch, I am a natural homebody who is more than happy to provide endless lap space and gentle companionship. In-Home Care & Overnight Sitting When I care for your fur babies in your home, my priority is keeping their routine as normal, stable, and stress-free as possible while you are away. Because I treat your pets like my own children, they get my full attention, love, and devotion. Here is what a typical stay looks like: * **Customized Play & Exercise:** Whether your dog is a high-energy puppy who needs structured walks and playtime, or a sweet senior who prefers a slow, gentle stroll around the block, I tailor the day to their physical needs and pace. * **Endless Snuggles & Companionship:** I am a homebody who genuinely prefers the company of animals to humans, so your pets will never be lonely. From couch cuddles to bedtime snugs, they will receive endless affection and emotional support. * **Reading Their Body Language:** I take the time to learn how your dog or cat uniquely communicates. If a shy cat needs space to just watch me from afar, or a "scaredy dog" needs extra patience, I listen to them and let them set the boundaries. * **Respectful Home Care:** I treat your home with the utmost respect and cleanliness. While making sure your pets are thriving, I am also happy to bring in the mail, keep your plants watered and thriving, and ensure everything is safe and secure. You can travel with total peace of mind knowing your four-legged kids are safe, loved, and deeply spoiled in the comfort of their own space!

About: Hello! My name is Sandi Cote and I’m more than willing to watch over any pets you may have. I have been a dog walker for 4 1/2 years at the NHSPCA and have always been passionate about caring for all animals. My schedule is pretty flexible; I should be able to watch your pets any day of the week. I’m available to care for your furry friend as long as needed. I can walk, feed and play with them. I have taken dogs to my home but I’m currently unavailable to do that at this time. I have a dog of my own who is not good with other animals. Please message me with any questions or concerns, I’m happy to answer around the clock. At this time I now can accept dogs into my home.

“Erika is great and our pups love her! She always sends the best pictures and visit summaries.”

“Stephanie is an amazing sitter! She watched our two cats for a little over a week, and did such a great job. We received text updates and photos every day, and even our bashful cat came out to see her and play, which is quite a compliment! She played with them daily and always made sure they had their "dinner" on time. We'll definitely use Stephanie again and really recommend her. Thank you!”
