House Sitting Kittery

“We were nervous to leave our pups because they’ve never been left with someone they didn’t know before, but they were so comfortable with Amanda! Amanda was so sweet and made sure they were well taken care of and followed all the care instructions. She made sure to send lots of pictures so we knew the pups were safe and happy and she left the house just as clean as we left it. We would recommend her services to anyone!!”

“Sophia did an excellent job! She stayed at our home with our two dogs and everything went just perfectly! We got daily pictures and updates. We highly recommend Sophia!”

“This is the first time I’ve used Rover, and it certainly will not be the last. I was so lucky to find Karen, who lives in my town, responded quickly to my first email, and came over to meet my 3-year-old chocolate lab that same afternoon. Within a few minutes, my dog was basking in Karen’s attention and letting me know that she would be happy and comfortable spending time in Karen’s care. Karen made sure my energetic dog got plenty of exercise and sent pictures every day while I was gone. I came home to a happy dog and a peaceful house. My dog and I are both hoping to have a continuing relationship with Karen.”

“Michael was a new sitter for us, but he will be our go-to sitter moving forward. He was prompt, reliable & very sweet with our pets. We got many photos and videos of his stay & our dog seemed very happy to have him there for walks & to play with. An unexpected bonus was not only that he left us a note so we knew where our pets were at in their day with treats & meds, but how clean he left our house (even stripped the bed & put his sheets in the washing machine)! 6/5 stars for Michael D! I HIGHLY recommend!”

Breegan J.

“Great communication and active caretaker. She took my pup out on lots of walks!”

Marissa C.

“Julianne was super responsive and sent a number of photos of our dog! She stayed in our home and we came back to it being cleaner than we left it! Julianne is super kind and we will definitely use her again!”

Jenny G.

“Kristen is an absolute professional great with the pups and an amazing communicator along with being flexible with unexpected schedule changes. Need I say more? Book her! :)”

“Jim went above and beyond for us when we were in a pinch. Not only did he take great care of our dog but he also cleaned and did dishes for us that we had left in a hurry to head to a wedding. Jim was awesome and I would absolutely recommend him and utilize his services again in a heartbeat!”

“We highly recommend Patrick. He was absolutely wonderful with our dog Gilligan. We utilized the overnight pet sitting service in our home. Patrick was very accommodating and to better get to know us, he offered to visit our home twice prior to our trip. One of these visits he took Gilligan for a walk, while I just tagged along. He handled Gilligan beautifully, cleaned up after him, let him stop and sniff, but then encouraged him along. He stopped and talked with a neighbor, while their dog and Gilligan said hello. Patrick was a natural. It was obvious he loved dogs and took his job very seriously. Patrick provided us with references without us asking. We called all of them and heard nothing but very positive comments. Patrick also offered to talk with our previous sitter (who was moving away) to gain even more knowledge of Gilligan and how to best care for him. I was doing all I could to find the best caregiver for Gilligan, and Patrick made it easy. It was all pretty impressive. Although we were gone for only one night, Patrick kept us updated with pictures and messages throughout the day, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We will definitely be using Patrick again.”

“Claire is the best cat sitter we’ve had. She is attentive and takes great care of both our cat and our house. She is a great communicator. Our cat absolutely loves her. We would recommend Claire to anyone in need of a cat sitter.”

“Lorenzo was very kind to our dogs. He was a great communicator.”

Kari M.

“Katherine was great - she stayed overnight at our house and she took great care of our animals and house. She kept us updated with pictures and videos of all the animals. She was very flexible when we were returning home and her communication was overall excellent. We'd highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their animals!”

About: Kristine and Eric have loved and had animals our entire life. I have always helped care for pets, even as a child. Eric was raised on a farm, caring for many different kinds of animals- waking up before dawn to ensure that all animals were properly cared for and had what they needed for the day whether it be rain, shine, snow, sleet, hot, or cold. We, together, have two dogs. They are both around 10 years old and are rescues. We also have 6 chickens. Our home has a door from the downstairs to the upstairs. When dogs are home during the day and if left alone for 1 hour or so they stay downstairs with access to water, comfy couches, and dog bed areas. When we are home they have free run of the home. We also have a crate for dogs that may need a private, safe space. We have a back yard that our dog enjoys playing in, but just so you know it is not fenced in, therefore dogs remain leashed when in the back yard. We do have a deck that is closed off in the backyard where dogs can be left unleashed to hang out, but always supervised when out there. We also have a 15 year old daughter who loves animals. She assists with the care of our dogs and we have fostered a few dogs in the past from various shelters and she is always eager to assist with making these dogs feel comfortable and give them love. She volunteers at a local animal shelter with small mammals and takes care of the chickens I work full time during the school year for a school district. Eric works from home. Eric takes dogs for a number of walks per day including walks to the local dog park (Rogers Park) and to local beaches for exercise and socialization. I am home by 3:30 pm and bring my dogs (and other dogs) for exercise either running, hiking, or walking. In the summer I am mostly around. I also grew up with cats and with both have experience with cats and providing meds to cats, including insulin shots. I work full time and Eric works part to full time but we can walk dogs in the evening and walk dogs throughout the day on the weekends. I have summers off as I work in a school. I will not be offering care in my home, but am excited to take care of your pet and walk your dog and take your dog on adventures.

“Candace took great care of our puppy while we were out to dinner! She was reliable, communicative, and made us feel completely at ease. Josh was happy and well cared for when we got home. We'd definitely book with her again!”

Marisa R.

“Great job. Willie was respectful and communicative, would book again!”

Austin M.

“We had such a great experience with Melody! From start to finish, she was warm, professional, and incredibly communicative. She took amazing care of our dog Franklin and kept us updated with messages and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Franklin absolutely adored her — we could tell he was happy and well-loved while in her care. She even went above and beyond by taking care of little things around the house, like grabbing packages and washing the sheets before leaving. We truly appreciated her thoughtfulness and attention to detail. It’s clear she genuinely cares, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and responsible pet sitter!”

About: I have had dogs my entire life. I have taken care of my own dogs as well as friends and neighbors. I have experience with labs, golden retrievers, German shepherds, Rottweilers, and pit bulls mostly but love all dogs. I currently work full time Monday-Friday (this is important to note when booking me for house sitting) and would love to help people with walking their pets/letting them out after work or on the weekends. I can’t have pets in my apartment and greatly miss interacting with dogs! I am very respectful of other people’s homes. I am clean and appreciate instructions/rules on where food, collars/leashes, treats, etc are. I will keep your furry companions company, provide long walks, and scratches of course!

“We had an excellent experience with Courtney. She sent us daily photos and updates, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs received regular exercise and plenty of attention, and it was clear our cat was comfortable and well cared for as well. We came home to happy, relaxed pets and a well-maintained home. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for dependable, attentive pet care.”

About: I’ve been helping a friend who has a dog walking business. Sprightly Paws and have enjoyed it so much. We are both members of the Exeter Run Club. My black lab has passed and I miss time spent with dogs. I’m retired and have plenty of time to enjoy walking dogs. Preferably Mon- Fri but sometimes available on weekends. If your dog likes to run, depending on your location I’m happy to run with them. I’m only available for dog walking. I don’t offer any dog sitting or daycare services. I live in Durham,NH right on the Newmarket line.

About: Hi there — I’m a dedicated, experienced pet sitter with 10+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes, and personalities. I truly believe there’s no “one-size-fits-all” approach when it comes to our pets—every dog has their own routines, quirks, comfort levels, and needs, and I love taking the time to get to know what makes your pup feel safe, happy, and at home. Whether your dog is high-energy and playful, shy and cautious, older and in need of a slower pace, or has specific behavioral or medical needs, communication is everything. Please share any concerns, routines, triggers, fears, or special requests ahead of time—we’ll work together to make their stay as stress-free and personalized as possible. My home offers a large yard for supervised outdoor time, plenty of love, structure, and attention. I’m also a mom to two amazing kids (ages 5 and 7) who have been raised around animals and are very respectful of pet boundaries, body language, and personal space. For overnight stays, I do recommend bringing your dog’s crate if they’re crate-trained or may need a familiar, secure space for bedtime or decompression. My goal is simple: for your dog to feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for—while you have peace of mind knowing they’re in loving, experienced hands. I’d love to meet your pup! 🐾 I can do overnights Wednesday Thursday and Fridays! Just reach out to me, schedule updated weekly for other services - overnights stay the same. Thanks! Your pet - your rules! I can play, snuggle, walk, feed, bathe your pet. I can crate your pet if requested. What you say goes!
