“Liam had a wonderful time with Brittany and her family and we look forward to using her again when we travel. She sent photos of the fun things they did together, including many hikes in the snow. It was so nice to know that Liam was well taken care of and we didn't have to worry about him while we were traveling.”
About: Hi! We’re Charlotte and Lucas. We’re animal lovers who have always had pets as part of our family, and caring for them is one of our favorite parts of daily life. Right now, we have a golden retriever who thinks everyone is his best friend and three cats who each have their own personalities. Our pets, as well as our lifetime of experience as pet caregivers has taught us how to juggle different needs, from high-energy walks to quiet cuddle time. We understand what it’s like to worry when you’re away from your pets, so we make sure the animals we care for feel loved, safe, and at home. Whether it’s tossing a ball until your pup is tired, giving extra patience to a shy cat, or just keeping up with daily routines, we will treat your pets just like our own! Taking care of pets is already part of our everyday life. We have a golden retriever and three cats at home, so our days naturally revolve around feeding, walks, play, and snuggles. Because we’re so used to that routine, it feels easy and natural to make time for other pets too. Between the two of us, we’re flexible with mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Depending on the day and time, either one of us will be available, and we’ll clearly communicate that with you when booking so you know who to expect. At the end of the day, we both just enjoy having more chances to spend time with animals. We know how important it is to feel confident that your pets are safe and cared for when you’re not there. When we’re in a client’s home, we’re respectful of your space and careful to follow your routines. We pay attention to details like locked doors, leashes, and food instructions, because we know consistency helps pets feel calm and secure. Most of all, we want you to feel at ease knowing your pets are being treated with the same love and care we give our own.

“Our dog Willow loved her stay with Jennifer & John and hanging out with their dog Rosie. Willow's favorite part of her stay was the walks down to the river, she loves getting a little swim in when she can.”

“Ann and I hit it off immediately as did my dog Jonas. She has a super welcoming home that is totally geared towards her dogs. My dog had a blast and was absolutely exhausted from all the fun he had while staying with Ann. We would book with her again in a heartbeat. 5+ stars!!!!”

“Jenna was terrific! She responds to messages quickly, is flexible with scheduling, and was always at home or nearby. Jenna's professional, kind and experienced. Instead of letting all her dogs and guests greet mine (for the first time) upon entry, she thoughtfully allowed one to come out at first. Our dog was happy, and well taken care of. We look forward to returning!”

“Christy is amazing and provided our dachshund Kevin detailed care and attention while we were away on a short vacation. She checked in and sent updates and pictures which made us feel so much better. She was also incredible at accommodating his eating schedule, food requirements and sleeping habits. Her family were so sweet and gave him so much attention and love. I would book her again in an instant, she is amazing!”

“Hailey was fantastic with our pups. She sent us pictures and updates for them to help set our minds at ease. There was plenty of room outside for our dogs to run and play. When we picked up our dogs, they were happy and playful. They were very clearly well taken care of. We will definitely use Hailey again.”

“Lika and her family are incredible! They gave so much love to Louis while he stayed with them that it made completely clear that he was safe and happy. He stayed with them for almost three weeks, and she send us pictures every day. I’ll definitely leave Louis with them again!”

About: Growing up around a wide variety of animals has given me the skills and passion needed to be an attentive and responsible carer of all kinds of pets. I've owned several dogs, cats, rodents, and horses. I was responsible for administering medications, accommodating pets with special needs, becoming attuned to various behaviors and habits, and adhering to specific individualized training methods. I'm currently working full-time from home as a customer service rep for a small, local company and mothering my 2 year old toddler (who is very gentle and respectful around all animals). I'm fortunately very flexible with my schedule and can accommodate both last-minute and long-term schedules! Being a sincere animal lover, I'm always enthusiastically willing to tend to the needs of any pets that are under my care. I believe that both people and animals benefit from living in a clean and comfortable space, so I seek to maintain and accommodate that kind of positive atmosphere in your pet's home.
“We were so lucky to find Emily to care for our dog, Sonny, while we hiked the Lake of the Clouds Hut in August. From the moment we arrived, we knew he was in the best hands. Emily has a warm, welcoming home with plenty of outdoor space for dogs to play and explore. She took Sonny on walks, played ball with him, and even brought him swimming—which he loved! Emily kept us updated regularly with messages and photos, giving us complete peace of mind. It’s clear she genuinely loves dogs and treats them like her own. Sonny was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and we would absolutely trust Emily with him again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for loving, attentive care for their dog.”

About: I have had a passion for animals my whole life, and love getting to care for new pets and their individual needs. I have a dog, cat, and bunny, but it’s not enough so I want to love yours! I follow detailed requests and always promise extra pets. I have a very flexible schedule and work remotely part time. I reply extremely quickly to texts and am ready to answer questions, concerns, and update you with your pets’ photos! I am great with following directions or special requests for pets and am always responsible in your home. I will make sure your fur baby is safe and sound.
“Andrea is very attentive and caring and has a wealth of knowledge and experience with dogs. She was sensitive to the needs of my elderly pup and went the extra mile to accommodate her. I highly recommend Andrea.”

“Taneesha was a great sitter. She sent me pictures and videos of Dutchie the whole time I was away. She is the sweetest sitter. I will most definitely use her again, plus, she's close to my house.”

“Nina was awesome! My dog Mattis had a great boarding experience. I felt 100% comfortable knowing that Nina was taking such good care of my boy. Not only would I recommend Nina to others but will be asking her to sit for Mattis again soon.”

About: Some of my first memories are of my dog Brownie. My mother raised Springer Spaniels for some time, and after that we had a Labrador, a Newfoundland, three Shitzu's and beloved little Scotty named Jimmy McPierce. I am a gardener by trade so I started petsitting/dogwalking professionally years ago, as a way to generate extra income during the winter months. What can I offer your pet? Personalized care. I understand that every animal has it's own personality quirks. I can work with that! If you have special commands or routines for your pet, please let me know in advance so I know how to best care for your pet. I go above and beyond most sitters because I deeply care for the emotional wellbeing of animals. How many can I watch at once? Multiple pets are not a problem, more the merrier. What if my dog or cat needs to be given medication? I have many clients whose pets require medication. I can administer shots if you have a diabetic in the family. What if my pet is high energy? I am a very active person so if your pup likes to go on runs or hikes, please let me know. I love to play with frisky cats too! I tend to be busier in the summer and therefore don't take on as many clients, but devote most of my time to caring for pets during winter months. However, if you are located somewhere close to my work in the summer, then overnights shouldn’t be a problem as long as your pet can be alone for around six hours. I will consider taking certain dogs into my home for overnights if it is the right fit. I don't own my own house, so I must be sure they will not damage anything. Cats are also welcome if they meet the same behavioral standards.
“Peter and Sarah were fantastic! They had excellent communication, provided great care with walks and pictures throughout his stay. I would 100% rebook should our vacation plans lead us to NH again!”
