“Rachael stayed with our 2 girls for a week at our house. They loved her & we loved that they were in such great hands! While we were gone, we received numerous updates and pictures each day. We returned to an immaculate house! Very professional, Highly recommended!”


“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!!!”


“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.”


“Christina was amazing and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She came down before the job to meet us and the pets. We immediately felt comfortable with her and our dogs both loved her. She communicated with us while we were away and was even kind enough to send pet updates and pictures. Our home was well respected and exactly as we had left it. I’d highly recommend Christina as a house and pet sitter”


“Once again, Ashley did a great job. It's really comforting to know that we can leave our dog Pearl with a trusted "friend". She is always so happy to see Ashley. Thanks again Ashley!”


About: Working with animals of all sizes, from cats and dogs, to horses and more, I have lots of valuable experience! My love and passion for animals since childhood has continued on into college, where I am majoring in Veterinary Technology and Animal Sciences. My classes provide me with further exposure and education on species of all kinds. Being around animals is truly my happy place! Being home from college on break until the last week of January, I am hoping to stay busy and hang out with some furry friends! My schedule and availability will be determined on a first come, first serve basis! I am very thorough with the caretaking of animals, ensuring everything is done safely and as requested by the owners. I will love and care for your pets, just as I would my own!

“Took wonderful care of my dog and kept me updated on how things were going and sent pictures. Very responsive and responsible. Definitely would recommend Kimberly and will use her again!”


“As always, another great stay with Ceara in our home taking the best care of our animals.. The value of that piece of mind, especially since we do not have any family / friends within 2 hours of our new home, is priceless!”


“Ethan, Jack was relaxed and happy when we got home from our trip! Thank you for the texts, the notes, the clean water dish every day, and the quality, " play time" with Jack! You are a super dog sitter!. Jack is so happy to have found you and so are we! Della, Fred and Jack”


“What could go wrong went wrong with my dog while we were out of town. Dana kept me updated on everything and got him to his vet, then brought him to the hospital. She didn’t leave my dog’s side until the hospital admitted him. He was stabilized and I now have him home! Thank you, Dana for picking up on his symptoms and getting him the care he needed!”


About: Hi, I'm Steve! I'm a lifelong dog lover and proud human to Millie, my sweet and energetic 7-year-old black Lab. Millie and I are inseparable—whether we’re walking wooded trails, splashing at the beach, or just relaxing at home, she keeps me active and always smiling. I bring years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to wise seniors. I understand the unique needs of each stage in a dog's life—gentle attention for older pups, structure and patience for young ones, and plenty of love for all in between. I'm also comfortable administering medications and adapting to dogs with special diets or mobility issues. What sets me apart? I treat every dog as if they’re my own—because I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care. I'm reliable, communicative, and always happy to send updates and photos so you can relax while you're away. Whether your dog loves long walks, belly rubs, or just a cozy companion, I’m here to help. Millie and I can’t wait to meet your pup! Pet care is a central part of my daily routine. My dog Millie and I start every morning with a walk—rain or shine—which sets the tone for a calm, structured day. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I’m able to provide consistent attention, regular potty breaks, playtime, and lots of cuddles throughout the day. In the evenings, we usually head out for a longer walk or spend time at the beach or park. Caring for pets isn’t a side task for me—it’s part of how I live. Whether your dog needs an active routine, quiet companionship, or extra TLC, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. In your home, I respect your space and your dog’s routine. I follow your instructions closely, from feeding schedules and crate training to play preferences and special care needs. Whether you have a shy senior or a high-energy pup, I adapt my care to meet their individual needs and keep stress to a minimum while you’re away. No matter the setting, my priority is your dog’s well-being—and your peace of mind.

“Jane was a rock star with my pup! So grateful that I had peace of mind while away for a week. Not only was she responsible with my kid, she took great care of the house too. Will definitely be rebooking!”

About: Hi! I live in Conway, NH with my partner and our menagerie of pets! We currently have furry family members consisting of 5 dogs, 3 cats, a guinea pig named Sid and 3 birds! I was raised with a variety of pets and have taken care of animals my entire life. I cannot imagine life without them. As someone who understands what it is like to have pets and also someone who has lived all over the country and traveled extensively, I understand how valuable and difficult it is to find someone to take care of your pets that you can trust. I won’t price gouge you, and I will listen to your instructions, needs, and desires in a sitter. I am able to administer medicine since I do for my own pets, small animals and big ones alike. I would love to meet your furry family member and assure you that your mind can be at ease when I am with them! *Please note that we do not accept boarding in our home. I don’t mind staying at your house though need be! My preference is to watch dogs, but I can work with cats as well. Currently, I have full time availability! I would love to make caring for your pets my current full time opportunity! I am flexible and can stay overnights as well, as long as they work with my family’s schedule. We have gates on both our upper and lower levels that help acclimate new pets to ours. We also have a fully fenced in yard with another large area of unfenced play space and walking space. We live on a dead end so we have a nice small walking loop as well and our neighborhood is quiet.

About: I have been pet sitting for a long time now and even made it my summer job in college. My goal is to give your pet plenty of love and attention to make them feel comfortable. I have a 2 year old mini schnauzer who loves all dogs of all sizes and he will make sure your pet has plenty of play time that when you get home they are tired. I work fully remote so I am always home. I have a yard out front and then snowmobile trails behind my apartment where we can go for long walks. I work fully remote from home and will always be around :) I am usually up around 6:30 am and go to bed around 10/10:30 pm I offer a lot of love and attention to all pets. I love taking my dog out a few times a day and make sure he gets at least a couple long walks. I have a living room for them to play or my yard out front is just as great. My doors are always closed and I live in a safe area of Fryeburg and live on a dead end road. I promise your animal will get more attention not just from me but from my dog.

Her home is warm and inviting, with plenty of access to areas for dog-walking and playing.
