“If I could give more stars, I would! Shatane and her family are truly wonderful people. They treated Ziggy and me with respect and showed Ziggy love and attention every day during his 3-day stay this week. I would definitely recommend Shatane—excellent communication, with plenty of updates, pictures, and videos.”

“Maria was wonderful! She sent numerous updates and photos and Spot had the best time! She takes the dogs on walks and swims and her house is an absolute dream for pups! Can’t wait for spots next stay!”

“This was my second time having Jessica watch my dogs. She kept them overnight for me and I couldn’t have been more happy with her service! She constantly kept me updated on how they were doing, sent pictures, and gave me a full recap of their entire stay. I will certainly continue to have her take care of my puppers in the future!”

“Our dog seemed very happy to stay at Kevin’s house. We were especially grateful that he could take her in for a last minute reservation and it was nice that he sent pics and videos every day. Also- we appreciated that Kevin arranged a refund for us since we picked up our dog a day earlier than planned. He was quick to respond to texts, and is clearly a very responsible person.”

About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life since I was 3 years old, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I have hands on experience with large breeds and am confident handling bigger dogs with different energy levels. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and understand the importance of patience, comfort as they age. I put a lot of love and care into every pet I watch. I know how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby, so I treat every dog as if they were my own. Making sure they feel safe, loved, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently work full time but have a flexible schedule where I work from home somedays. My partner also works 5 minutes from our house and is able to help with potty breaks during the day. We spend a lot of time in our yard or walking the canal on nice days and would love a wagging tail to join us. We have a fenced in yard and live in a quiet neighborhood to go on walks. We love to go to the canal and spend time outside. We have a fully finished basement with mini splits and air circulation system, perfect for any size dog to enjoy!

“10000/10!! Marc took such great care of our girl. He went above and beyond and was so communicative, sending us so many incredible pictures all the time. We felt so comfortable leaving our dog with Marc for 2+ weeks. Could not recommend more!”

“Heather and her family took excellent care of our senior dog, Kia while we were on a camping trip. Kia suffers from anxiety and requires medication to keep it at bay. Heather gave her the medication she needed along with increased potty breaks to help her relax as much as she could. Kia loved hanging out with the family boxer and another small hound dog that came to visit one day. This was our first time using Rover.com and it was a very positive experience!”

“Ruby was wonderful with our dog, Moose. We were able to leave town and not worry about him. She also sent us some great photos and videos of Moose playing with other dogs in her care. I highly recommend her!”

Kristen H.

“These are the most awesome sitters that I would want to use them all the time if they were always available and not doing stupid things like going on vacation or watching other people’s dogs! Just kidding they’re the best!!! Aiko had a blast and loves them and can’t wait to use them again!!!”

Robyn L.

“Tara provided a great experience for Penny when she boarded. She was very attentive, kept her current on her medications and sent along pictures to keep her mom satisfied she was in good hands!”

About: I have spent my entire life around dogs, but my professional experience sets me apart when it comes to reading and handling animals. For almost 3 years I worked as a Pet Care Specialist. I was responsible for the specialized daily care, behavioral monitoring, and medical treatment of all sorts of animals; birds, reptiles, small mammals, fish, etc. I am experienced and comfortable administering medication and recognizing signs of illness, in the case that you have a dog with specialized needs. Today, I work professionally as a dog groomer. Every day I work hands on with dogs of all sizes ages, and temperaments. Because of this, I have the experience and patience necessary to deal with anxiety prone dogs, high energy balls of chaos, puppies who haven't yet learned manners, and senior dogs who need gentle care. I'm confident I can meet your dogs needs, whatever they may be, and ensure their stay with me is as comfortable as possible. I'm also happy to provide my available grooming services if that's of any interest to you! I work 8 hour shifts at the grooming salon, and I am free on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, which gives me full, dedicated days to spend at home with your dog(s). For the days I am at work, a responsible family member will always be available at the house, to assist with potty breaks or just to hang out. Your pup will only ever be alone if they want to be. This allows me to provide boarding any day of the week! My home is fully equipped to be a safe, fun, and adaptable "home away from home" for your dog. Here is what you can expect during their stay: Secure & Spacious Play: We have a large, fenced backyard where your dog can safely run and play. We are located in a lovely, quiet neighborhood right next door to a large recreational field/park with a walking trail. For more adventurous pups, we also have excellent wooded trails nearby as well. Socialization & Companionship: My family will be more than happy to provide extra human interaction throughout the day if your dog is seeking it. We also have 2 friendly resident dogs (a gentle, senior Shih Tzu who mostly minds her own business, and a social English Pointer who will be happy to make new friends) and 2 cats who are well accustomed to dogs, but will mostly keep to themselves. Separation When Needed: While socialization is great, it's not for everyone. If your dog is anxious, or just feeling overwhelmed, I have my own private, dedicated space where they can get away from all the hubbub of the household, and enjoy some downtime. I am also fully able to accommodate crate-trained dogs if that's something they prefer. They are also more than welcome to share my furniture if they're more of a lap-dog type! As a professional pet handler, I promise to stay aware of your dog's body language and ensure they're recieving the best care possible. Their safety and peace of mind are my top priority.

“Alexia was amazing! She was super sweet and very accommodating. She plenty sent pictures and updates reassuring me that all was well while I was away. My dog came back to me very happy! I will definitely be booking again.”

About: Graduated from UNH class 2014 with a Bachelors in Zoology. Proud to have over 20 years of animal care. 15 years of multi pet ownership . ---Raised and trained 8 dogs from puppy to adult. Spent 6 months volunteering at an animal shelter. Have completed Two separate 10 session dog training courses with a certified dog trainer. Have completed online Instructional courses on E-collar training and behavior modification. Have experience handling dogs with behavioral issues/quirks Have cared for pets of family and friends in addition to my own for over 15 years . My family and I currently have two dogs and a lizard, so pet care is part of our daily routine, 24/7 365. My own dogs are walked daily and stimulated through play and training. When we are home as a family, the dogs are out with us enjoying life. When we are out of the house, they are either crated or secured in a room with fresh water. Safety/Security and respecting the animals are my core values. While the animals in my home are cared for like family, they are taught to respect boundaries and work for affection. In my care, pets are leashed unless they are in a secure, fenced area. I take the time to understand each animal is an individual who has unique needs. I cater my approach to each animal based on their specific demeanor.

“Alison provides excellent and engaged care to our pooch and lives in a lovely home surrounded by nature and walking trails. Great place to leave your beloved dog (s)”

“Great experience. I have left my shy rescue with Lisa several times, Lisa put her right at ease, and she has a good time hanging out and going for walks with Roscoe. Lisa has also been really flexible and said yes to a last minute request.”
