About: I’ve always had experience with cats and dogs; I specialize in longer walks, which some may constitute as hikes! My dog is a bit too small and old for hikes but I would love to help other dogs get that energy out in a beneficial way. I have experience with senior dogs, and some puppy experience. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine. I am a college student focusing on my education which gives me plenty of flexibility and free time to take care of pets! I can crate dogs if that is a preference although I am very open to just spending time sitting or playing with them as well!
“Kristen was communicative and just an overall great experience. She watched my two cats while I was out of town and made me feel completely at ease. Would definitely recommend”
“Kate is wonderful! Super friendly and was really helpful when I needed someone for the holiday weekend. Potter loved her and I hope she loved him! She sent pictures every visit which I love. She even washed the dishes that she used 🙌🏼 would love to have Kate back again!”
About: I have taken care of and raised dogs from puppyhood my whole life. I live at a family house with a full yard a two other dogs that get along well with others. I am well equipped to handle young energetic pups to sleepy senior dogs. I am currently working part time while I go back to school and finish my degree. For these summer months, I have wide availability and can walk or board dogs with any schedule. I live in a family house with a fenced in yard and two well socialized adult dogs. We have done doggy day with friends and family. I understand dogs well and am well prepared to walk the dogs in local dog parks and care for your dog in your home too.
“Justina took great care of my cats while I was gone. She did daily check ins at my house, gave them so much love and attention, and sent me daily photos and updates. I will definitely be booking again for future trips.”
About: Hello! My profile reads Julianna, but I prefer to go by Fern! I recently graduated with a degree in Biology and am passionate about animals. I grew up with pets, from a 10 pound to chihuahua to a 150 pound Anatolian shepherd, and am comfortable with all shapes and sizes of pets. I have a natural affinity for animals, and love spending hours walking, grooming, and playing with them. I have completely open and flexible availability and would love to get to know your furry friends. Having just graduated, I am completely open and have the time for extended play dates with pets, including long walks if you have a high energy animal. I have the free time and energy to devote to pet care as it is my sole focus. I believe that working with cats and dogs requires a mutual understanding and respect. In training my own dogs I do not yell at or punish them for misbehavior, instead establishing positive feedback to encourage good behavior. When walking a dog, I let it take its time and do not tug or rush it along, as a walk is for the dogs enjoyment. I like to build trust with an animal and love giving them all the attention they could ever desire.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I have also grown and had almost every household pet you can think of! I live in Portsmouth NH. I work from home 3 out of 5 days but can be very flexible about not going into the office. I have my own vehicle and am able to do drop ins during the day! I typically spend at least 30 minutes to an hour for drops. This would consist of letting your dog outside when I get there/ walking them. Then feeding them their meals and making sure they get to go back outside before I leave. I do not let dogs play 30 minutes before or after they eat just to be safe. Of If I am spending the night with your pet, I am more than happy to hang out at your house and watch a movie with your fur babies!
About: I've cared for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior pets needing extra patience and attention. I prioritize safety, comfort, and plenty of playtime, tailoring care to each pet's needs. My goal is happy pets, relaxed owners, and lots of cute photo updates along the way! Pet care is a big part of my weekly routine and something I truly enjoy! I'm available on weekends from Friday afternoon through Sunday evening, as well as weekday evenings after 5 PM. Whether it’s evening walks, weekend drop-ins, or overnight care, I’m happy to be there when your pet needs attention, exercise, or just some extra love. When walking dogs, safety and trust are always my top priorities. I stick to familiar routes (or approved ones from the owner), always use secure leashes/harnesses, and stay alert to surroundings—avoiding high-traffic areas or unfamiliar dogs. I take time to get to know each pup’s personality, pace, and comfort level to make every walk enjoyable and stress-free. Whether it’s a quick potty break or a longer adventure, your dog is in caring, capable hands!
About: I have had my own dogs and have taken care of others dogs for over 10 years. I have lengthy experience working with very large dogs ( great Danes, shepherds) and very small dogs ( dachshunds, Chihuahuas). I enjoy working with young, hyper puppies in need of somebody to keep up with their energy, as well as elderly dogs in need of somebody to provide them peace! I’m currently working part-time and finishing my college degree online, so I have plenty of time to take care of animals! I am available all days of the week at whatever time best suits your schedule. I have many years of experience working with animals so I am more than happy to care for your pet in whichever way you would prefer. I am able to crate all animals, walk all animals, administer medications, and whatever else is needed.
About: I am a 31 year old with 10 years of pet care experience as well as growing up with dogs and a 2 year old bernedoodle myself. Full time other than weekends unless it's an overnight stay. All pets I house sit must be okay with a 2 year old uneutered (very friendly) bernedoodle. I was my dog 6-8x a day, the dogs I watch would get the same care in a big yard at my home and lots of love! All dogs I watch must be friendly with others.

Shane C.
“Shane is a fantastic dog caretaker - he has been immensely helpful with my partner's dog and my own dog as well. I know he has many years experience caring for dogs and cats. My dog can be fairly reactive to people who come into our home, but Shane demonstrates an intuitive ability to meet her where she's at unflinchingly. She immediately calmed down, which is very unusual for her with most visitors. Shane would make a great dog walker with other dogs, and I imagine other typically-skittish dogs like my own will respond particularly well to his presence!”

Katarina N.
“Kat has taken care of my dog, Mollie, on several occasions when I'm out of town for a few days. She is reliable and treats Mollie with lots of love and care. Mollie gets excited when Kat comes over to visit or pick her up. Kat loves animals and she is always respectful of their presence when we hike together.”
Brianna F.
“I can’t recommend Brianna enough when it comes to caring for dogs. She’s incredibly dependable, always on time, and communicates so well that I never have to worry when my pup is in her hands. What really sets her apart is how naturally loving and attentive she is with animals—she doesn’t just walk dogs, she connects with them. You can tell she genuinely cares, and that kind of trust and warmth is rare to find. Whether it’s a daily walk or just checking in, Brianna treats every dog like her own.”

New Castle pet parents share their Rover experiences
Isabelle is always very sweet and attentive with our older pup. We were excited to have her return for a drop in visit to care for both our older pup and her new puppy sister. She was very communicative and responsive, and I know the girls were well cared for. The picture updates were super cute and appreciated as well!
