Pugs to Pitties - we love them all!

Pet care experience

I will watch and treat your "baby" (any age) to a mini vacation while you're away. Together we will enjoy walks, swims and special treats if allowed. I live in a townhouse in Manchester NH (1400 sq ft) with a open grassy backyard. I live in a great part of Manchester that has wide sidewalks and we enjoy taking strolls whenever possible to stretch our legs and get some exercise. A weekend stay with me will probably include at least one trip to either Doris Pond, Lake Massabesic for some trail walks or one of our local dog parks. I believe a tired dog is a happy dog. (check out our pictures) I work in sales and that gives me flexibility to work from home and the office - so your pet is never home alone for more than a few hours. This allows me to give your baby extra attention while your pet is on vacation in my home. Our home has two different size crates available so you do not have to bring one with you if your fur baby needs one to use while visiting. I want you to have peace of mind when you leave your babies with me. I am available via phone, text, and skype if you would like to check in with your pets while you are away. I enjoy taking pictures of your pooch frequently and share those photos with you through the Rover application. You can expect to get a "good morning", "good night" and "look the fun i'm having" shots each day. I pretend to be a photographer and work hard to get that special shot for you. Let me know if you have a special request for your pooch. I am willing to accommodate each clients special needs. I consider a per night rate approximately 24 ish hours. If you plan on dropping your furbaby off early morning, and picking up late night the following day - we will discuss an adjusted rate for services provided (about $1.50/hr). Finally - my favorite part of dog sitting is establishing a relationship with your pet and yourself. Most of our clients are repeat clients which allows us to get to know you. Seeing your pet excited to come back is a heartwarming experience for me. I work hard to ensure your pet has a great time and returns to you tired and happy. Give me a shot and let me know what you think. Hope to hear from you soon. Billie ps - please advise of your pick up and drop off times when requesting stays so that i can ensure you're timeframe needs are met.

Billie and her family could not have been more welcoming and accommodating. Thanks to them we had a worry free holiday with our family while our two dogs were tended with love and great care. We also appreciated the photo updates. We will definitely be back, and are so glad to have found a home away from home for our dogs. Thank you Billie!

Billie is fantastic! Farley loved staying with her for a few days, and I knew he was having a great time from all of the photos she sent. He's exhausted from all of the fun. Billie is very responsive and thought of many details that I overlooked regarding the stay; I will definitely book her again for a long or short trip.

Billie was a top-notch friend to us and our dog, Ceilidh, from meet-and-greet to pickup. It was clear from the start that she's a dog-lover and that Ceilidh would have no shortage of love and attention. Ceilidh really enjoyed the walks, playing fetch, barbecues, and hanging out with her little pug buddy too. And we really enjoyed getting all of the pictures of said activities. If you're looking for a sitter in the Manchester area, you cannot go wrong with Billie! We'll gladly use her again.

Billie saved me from a last minute situation and stayed in contact with me all weekend. My dog was very happy and very well taken care of.

Information Billie B. would like to know about your pet

Our fur clients can range in size and breed type. I have watched everything from Pugs to Pitbulls, and are happy to have everything in between. Safety is our only requirement. We want to ensure your pet, our pet and our children are safe (we have pre-teens in the home) at all times. If you're dog needs some socialization practice, let us know. We will work with them too. I am open to discussing your pets schedule, and are willing to work to meet their needs with little to no disruption for them.

A typical day

We are definitely a family style dog sitting service. We expect your pets to be treated as they were at home. If you allow your dog on the couch, so don't I. If you allow your dog to sleep on the bed, so don't I. If your dog isn't perfectly house broken, lets us know. (we may use a belly band if there's a problem) We will continue to work on the crate training while you are away. Willing to discuss you're needs and your pets needs, to make it work.
