“Morgan is GREAT!!! My dog Lena is old, uses pads...usually (I mean, it can be a timing thing)...and uses them often. Morgan was so kind to her - changing the pads lots, trying different foods out when she was picky..and letting me relax while away as I could see Lena was with someone kind. I'll totally use her again and for longer trips! :-) I definitely recommend her. She left everything super clean and organized by the way (BONUS!!). YAY MORGAN!!!”
“Margaret was perfect. She was very accommodating, easy to work with etc. It appears that our two cats liked her a lot and I think she liked them also. She sent several cute photos. She left the house very neat and clean. We were very lucky to find her on relatively short notice. We will certainly hire her again if our needs and her availability coincide in the future.”
“Adams was house sitting with our two dogs for 3 days. Everything was great, we called him every day to check on them and he gave us detailed reports, also sent pictures. We would definitely want to be his repeat customers.”
“Great, consistent communication, sent photos of my Kitty daily, along with updates. My cat is very skittish around people but Sue was eventually able to pet her, which is a big win.”
“FANTASTIC!!! We were gone a week, and when I returned I saw that Shay left the house in good order with zero surprises. GREAT experience!! I will ABSOLUTELY hire her again and HIGHLY recommend her. I am fairly overprotective of my 16 year old Dachshund, Lena, and Shay really got that. She sent me daily updates (with a pic!) that were sooo nice! It let me relax and know that Lena was well looked after. :-)”
About: I grew up with dogs for the majority of my life, and have always loved spending time with ALL animals, big and small! Additionally I have experience as a dog walker. I consider myself very caring with great attention to detail. I want you to know that your pet is in the best possible hands with me! I will will give them lots of love, pets and play time and follow your instructions verbatim! My schedule is fairly flexible, especially in the evenings! I can do drop in visits or house sit. I’m currently not able to board pets in my home. I have reliable transportation and can come to your home for a drop in, or pick your dog up and bring them for a walk or for a visit to a dog park! I know my way around many trail systems here in the upper valley and I’m always happy to take your dog for a hike!
About: I’ve grown up caring for animals my whole life. I raised my own dog from puppy to 15 year old senior citizen and have been taking care of my friend’s and family’s dogs and cats for years. Whether your pup needs a brisk walk or a trail run, or your cat needs company while you’re away, I bring the same care and attentiveness to pet care that I bring to the hospital. I understand how important your pets are to your family, and I’m here to treat them like my own. I have experience with dogs and cats of all sizes, temperaments, and medical needs. I’m comfortable administering oral medications, following special diets, and maintaining a calm presence with shy or anxious pets. I currently have a flexible academic schedule and I work hard to fit in pet care throughout the day. I am almost always available first thing in the morning and in the afternoons/evenings and my mid-day availability varies by academic term From walks to house-sits, I follow the simple tenants of 1)“treat every animal as if they were my own” and 2) “treat everyone’s homes with the utmost respect”. Pet owners know best what their animals need so my top goal is providing whatever care that may be, safely, and in the environment that best suits each pet and owner.
“Mark was wonderful and very responsive. He kept me updated with any issues and was kind and caring towards my dog. I can’t say enough good things about the care he took with Boomer. I am thankful that he was able to watch Boomer and have already booked him again!”
“James is an awesome dog and house sitter! He took the dogs on great walks and sent us some adorable pictures while we were away. We came home to two happy, calm pups and a clean, orderly house. Highly recommend!”
About: My mother is a veterinarian with her own practice, so I grew up around an abundance of animals and know plenty about caring for them. My career allows me to choose my own schedule, I don't usually have shifts longer than 5/6 hours long. This allows me to take dogs out for walks or to a dog park, or I can just go home and hang out with my cat. I have a large fenced in yard with access to woods, plenty of local trails for dog walks, local lake of your dog likes to swim. Dogs and cats in my home, but there's a good sized guest bedroom that is kept closed of from the rest of my home if you have a pet that is less friendly with others.
“Anesa is great. She and Dexter got along famously. We appreciate that she took him on a hike and on playdates with other dogs over the weekend. She also gave us periodic photo updates which were greatly appreciated. We'll definitely rebook the next time we need a sitter!”
“Thank you Max for taking care of our dog Grimm during a very important weekend for our family, he had a great time and we were ease knowing he was having fun and was safe with Max.”
About: I am a current medical student in the area who has had dogs around her for her entire life. I have experience with small, medium, and large dogs of all breeds. I am responsible and quick in an emergency. I am also familiar with lots of walking trails in the area! I am a 4th year medical student with a pretty open schedule. Reach out with any inquiries and I will try to accommodate your needs! For pet sitting, I am available to stay at your home to keep your pet company as well as take them outside as often as needed. I am respectful, responsible, and professional in all spaces.
“Julia was terrific! Very responsive on short notice, took pictures and sent updates each day. Our dog and cat were very content when we got home and nothing was chewed up by our 3 year old pup which is always a sign he got plenty of attention. We highly recommend Julia and hope to hire her again!”

Lydia S.
“I have never met a more kind and caring individual in my life. I know that sounds quite extreme, but SOMEONE has to fill that role of people that we know in life, and Lydia is literally that person in mine. She seems to be a whisperer of all strays, misfits and displaced people and animals. Whether cats, bunnies, dogs, fishes, people, she exhibits no hesitation in giving love and care and kindness. She is well organized and physically fit and patient and is a wonderful and responsible carer; making sure everyone is well exercised, fed and watered. She also has no qualms about giving loving massages to even the dirtiest and stinkiest of fur babies. Calm of spirit and nature, Lydia is not just a caregiver, she acts as family and it was a pleasure to adopt and have been adopted by her in that capacity. She is a true gem!”
