“Kate was very communicative from our first message. She set up a meet and greet with our cat. She has a lovely demeanor. Our cat came up and allowed her to pet her on her first interaction. Daily texts, photos and videos made it clear that our cat was in good hands. I highly recommend Kate for your pet care!”


“Morgan was so good with Monty! We appreciate her responsibility and dedication. She drove over in horrible weather conditions to care for him while we were out of town.”


About: Experienced with pets of all ages, providing safe, loving care tailored to their needs. I enjoy finding new trails to explore with my pup, beach trips, and giving lots of well deserved belly rubs. I am available for afternoon and weekend walks/visits for those pet parents with different work schedules than 9-5. After 5:30pm M-F and all day Saturday and Sundays. I care for pets as if they were my own — making sure they’re safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow their routines, give plenty of playtime and exercise, and keep you updated with photos so you know they’re happy!

“Kiley did a great job taking care of my pet for 4 days while my family was on vacation. She listened to all of my small details and gave me peace of mind while I was away. Highly recommend!”


About: I have had all different kinds of animals in my life, including dogs, cats, ferrets, farm animals, reptiles, and more. I've taken care of animals ranging from senior dogs to newborn kittens and I've given them all the love that they need. I am available almost any day and time of day! Feel free to take a look at my calendar for my availability! I can't wait to take care of your furry friend(s). I am welcome to help your furry friend in any way you need. I will keep an open line of communication and send plenty of photos so you have the peace of mind knowing your best friend(s) are happy and healthy.


About: I have taken animal science classes for past 4 years and previously worked at doggy daycare and boarding facilities. I am also proficient on administering many specialized medications such as insulin and heart meds. I have been taking care of pets since I was 12 years old and have worked with all types of dogs from Chihuahua puppies to senior Great Danes. I am currently working part time, usually from home while going into the office a few days a week. I would be free to visit any pups all throughout the day on most weekdays, usually Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, as well as the weekend. I always ensure that whatever animal I am taking care of is comfortable and feels that they are in a safe environment as well as others around them. Being with people other than their parents can be a stressful situation for some pets and I work to make that encounter as stress free as possible.

“Nicole took wonderful care of our pets and kept us up to date with messages and pictures. She was very responsive and caring. We have lots of cats of various ages and on different diets and we felt very confident that she could manage it all. She took our dog for nice long walks. I would highly recommend Nicole if you want a mature, kind and responsible pet sitter who can handle multiple pets with medication or special diets, in addition to company and love. Knowing she was taking care of our pets helped me relax and enjoy our family vacation.”

“Dale is a wonderful pet caregiver. My elderly pet needed special care and attention and Dale really helped ease my concern leaving her. I highly recommend Dale. She is kind, attentive and responsive.”

About: Hi! my name is Ally! I have grown up with dogs my whole life, from Dalmatians to Jack Russell’s. I started volunteering at the NHSPCA in high school and discovered my love for helping & animals. I am a registered nurse and looking to fuel my hobby spending time with animals and getting to know their lovely owners. I am an active individual who can exercise pets that have high energy, as well as care for pets who prefer more down time. My parents and I have a 12 year old blind Jack Russell named Sherman who is not friendly to other animals, so I am used to dogs on the more complicated side. Sherman does not live with me so I will not be with him while watching other dogs! I believe every animal deserves love and attention and I hope to provide that for everyons interested! My schedule is flexible as I work from home and make my own hours. I love to keep animals in their routines. Even if it’s just being with them at home. I am a trustworthy and reliable pet sitter who cares a considerable amount for all animals. I will happily care for them like my own.

About: I have had dogs my whole life. I grew up with big dogs and now we have a Bernese Mountain dog at my dads and 2 bull dogs at my moms. My boyfriend just got a bull mastiff puppy so I have a lot of different dogs! Id love to take some dogs for a walk or even just a check in! I am not working full time anymore so I have most week days available! I have been a fully time nanny for the past 2 years and I just went down in my hours. I am working Wednesdays and Fridays but the rest of the week I am available! My dog now is very high maintenance/spoiled, he’s on a raw food diet and he goes on multiple walks a day! We play fetch outside and are getting him more comfortable being off leash. I am comfortable feeding, walking, giving medicine if needed, and whatever else your doggy needs!

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: Animals are my life— I’ve been a pet-sitter for most of it! I’ve had dogs and horses of my own, worked on a farm, at a zoo, and rehab facilities! I have two wonderful pups who are very friendly and welcoming. I just finished my graduate degree, moved to Portsmouth, and I’m currently looking for a career in marine conservation field. In the meantime, I’d love to watch your pets! I’m currently working for The Nature Conservancy, in-office only 2-3 days a week. My partner works from home and is able to help out with any needs if/when I’m away from the house. We spend a lot of time playing both inside and outside with the dogs, keeping the dogs entertained with new toys, chews, and puzzles. I have a partially fenced in yard, where my own dogs are trained to play within limits. If your dog can be trusted, I can do the same or keep them leashed!

I'm currently enrolled in a Veterinary Assistant training program and would love to occupy my time outside of work spending more time with animals! Although I have a shifting schedule, I am an open communicator and am happy to share more details on scheduling. I've held multiple pet care jobs before starting my current Veterinary Assistant program and have always grown up around pets whether it be dogs, cats, lizards or fish. I hope I can meet some of your closest little, or big, friends to give them their needed exercise and outside time they deserve! Please feel free to reach out with any questions - Thanks so much. I currently have a fluctuating schedule, but know my shifts in advance so be sure to check out my calendar! Usually my typical week is two to three 11/12 hour shifts from 7am-6/7pm and then one or two 6 hour study shifts either 8am-2pm or 12pm-6pm.
