House Sitting in Mount Washington

About: Ive taken car of, raised, and trained dogs my entire life. Ive always had a knack for it, and i love it. I’ve administered and given more medications than i can count. Ive dealt with dogs in heat, dogs after surgery. You name it, I've learned my way through it. Let me take care of and love on your babies. And of COURSE they can sleep with me 🫶🏼 I work from home and can maximize time with your baby! I can do any weekend you may need, for check ins, walks, or consistent care. Nightly care is optional through the week, as are walks and check ins. I have a no fence yard. I would be walking them when they need to go potty. If you prefer crates, please bring one. Dogs are allowed to roam free in the home all day, and allowed on furniture.

“We didn’t get to use Diane this time. Our 14 year old Border Collie, Mouse, passed right before Diane was supposed to sit. My husband ended up canceling his trip and stayed home with our cats. However, Diane was very professional and friendly during our meet and greet and extremely empathetic upon finding out about Mouse.”

“Taylor was so incredibly wonderful!!! She took such great and attentive care with our two pups that we felt at ease while we were away (That can be very hard to do when you have to leave your fur babies behind!). We received consistent updates and plenty of funny pictures/videos to get us through our puppy withdraws, and that made all of the difference to us. Our home was left tidy, and I’d say probably even better than how we left it! We would 1000% book her again for any of our puppy needs. She’s one of a kind! :)”

About: with three years of experience, caring for pets of all shapes and sizes, I love helping furry (and feathery!) friends feel happy and comfortable. From playful puppies to those old wise seniors, I adapt to each pets routine so they feel right at home. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, fish, and even chickens! No pet is too big or small for me. I’m a college student pursuing a medical degree, so my availability is shaped around classes and clinical shifts. - Tuesdays: 9am - 12pm (class) - Monday, Wednesday, Friday: 11am - 7:30pm (clinical shifts) - Other times: Flexible! I’m happy to work around your pets schedule. - School breaks/holidays: I’m off during regular school breaks and available to care for pets then. I offer in-home pet care, following your pet’s usual routine to keep them happy and stress free. I feed, walk, play, and give plenty of attention, while keeping your home safe and tidy. I can also send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your furry friends are in good hands!

“Korithian is fantastic! We were able to enjoy a full week away without worry for our sweet fur babies! And Fish friends. She sent regular updates, was flexible with us and took great care of our home, too. I certainly recommend her services!”

Chris S.

“Marisa stayed at our house taking care of our dogs and chickens while my wife and I vacationed. She has an incredible love of animals we could see in her stories of her pets and she quickly bonded with all our furry and feathered friends. She took very good care of all of them and the house while we were away and was an excellent communicator keeping us posted on the day-to-day and how well they were doing. Highly recommended!!!”

Kevin C.

“I highly recommend Emmelea! This was our first time using her for an overnight stay, and she exceeded all expectations. Her communication was top-notch; we received regular updates and so many cute pictures that showed how happy and well-cared-for our pup was. She truly treated him like her own. We feel so lucky to have found her and will 100% book with her again!”

Mandi K.

“Katie sent LOTS of updates and pictures. She was great with Willow and River, especially knowing River can be nervous with new people. She had him cuddling with her in no time. Would 100% recommend!”

Mandy C.

“Thank you so much for taking care of our 3 dogsonce again while we went on vacation. I can’t stress enough how much of a relief we get to know that our dogs are being taking care of my someone so caring and responsive all in the comfort of their own home.”

“Alexina was great with our pups! She came over early to meet them and see where everything in the house was. She is polite and prompt and we definitely recommend her for a home stay! She took great care of our dogs, one with special needs for a week. We came home from our trip to very happy pups!”

Jennifer W.

“Alison was amazing with my dogs. She played music for them, sang to them, calmed them when they were upset during the storms and made sure they were comfortable at all times. She sent lots of pictures and text messages with updates. Alison was great about playing with them and she treated them like they were her own. I highly recommend her.”

Rachel A.

“Claudia was absolutely wonderful. My dogs are a bit of a handful, and she was so gracious and kind with them. She visited when she said she would, kept me up to date regularly, and again was very patient with my dogs. Would definitely ask her again in the future!”

Miriam S.

“Nathan dog/house sat for us while we were gone and he was great! Sent lots of updates and our house was in exact same condition it was when we left. And most importantly our pup was happy and cared for the whole time. Definitely recommend him and we will use again for sure!”

Lindsay C.

“Did great with our dog. Let him lay on the couch with him. Played in the yard with him, sent us picture updates. Will definitely use him again.”
