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. I currently work full time in Dover, NH and bring my dog Poppy into the office with me. My family had a 12 year old blind Jack Russell named Sherman who was not friendly to other animals while we were growing up, so I am used to dogs on the more complicated side. I believe every animal deserves love and attention and I hope to provide that! My schedule is flexible on the weekends. I work full time but am home by 5pm so ai can do evenings as well. 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 combine patience, experience, and genuine affection for pets of all kinds. Whether it’s an energetic pup, a gentle senior, or a shy cat, I adapt to meet their needs and make them feel at home. Taking care of pets is part of my regular routine. I like to get outside and stay active by walking and running dogs, and I make sure to spend quality time giving pets the attention and love they deserve. It’s something I enjoy and look forward to fitting into my days. I prioritize safety and comfort above all when caring for pets. Whether I’m visiting your home or welcoming pets into mine, I will make sure the environment is clean, secure, and pet-friendly. I will also follow any specific instructions you provide and keep a close eye on your pet’s behavior to ensure they’re happy and safe at all times. Building trust with both pets and owners is important to me, so I communicate openly and am responsive to any needs or concerns.

About: Hi there! I’m Enzo, a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for all kinds of pets—dogs (from energetic puppies to laid-back seniors), cats, farm animals, and even reptiles. I love making sure every animal gets the attention and care they deserve! I’m also the proud owner of my dog, Vito! We stay active with hikes, mountain biking, training sessions, and plenty of other outdoor adventures. If your dog loves exploring, I’ll make sure they get plenty of exercise and stimulation! I also offer leash training as a service, so pups can have fun while learning good habits. And if your pet prefers a slower pace, I’m just as happy providing calm walks and relaxed companionship. Whether it’s a walk through the neighborhood, an adventure in the woods, or a home visit, your dog’s safety and well-being are my top priorities! I take the time to earn their trust and always treat them with respect, so they feel comfortable, confident, and cared for while you’re away! I can be very flexible and accommodating for your pets needs, whether it's daily visits, overnight stays, or midday walks. Let me know your pet's routine and I'll be happy to accommodate! Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities! I create a loving, calm, and comfortable environment where they can feel safe and cared for. I’ll take the time to earn their trust, respect their personality, and make sure every walk or visit is fun, relaxing, and stress-free!

I have a fenced in area for my dogs that can also be turned into two areas if your pet prefers privacy, I also have large dog crates available for space, I also have an inside pen that the dog can stay in if they are not used to being crated. The dog can sleep with me as well if that is what they are used to, I do have well behaved dogs that would love to play if thats what your pet would enjoy. I want your pet to have as comfortable an experience as possible while their loved one is away. Its what I would want for my pets and I would treat yours the same way. At your house I will follow whatever rules you have for your pet whether it be leashed walks or play in a fenced yard or area

About: Pets (and their people!) can sense my reliability, warmth, and attention to detail right away. I think it's because I'm a natural "pet magnet" - peaceful & present with animals of all kinds. I never cut corners when it comes to pet care or comfort. Whether it's extra snuggles, sticking to a precise routine, or noticing small changes in behavior, I bring a watchful eye and a caring heart to every visit. At home, I have hands-on experience with a variety of dogs. From energetic puppies to gentle seniors, from toy breeds to large companions. I’ve also cared for cats, fish, and birds for years, so you can call on me for a wide range of companion animal needs. The safety, happiness, and well-being of your pets are my top priorities. I am ever-mindful of how much they mean to you, and that informs the care I provide. I have lots of flexibility with scheduling at this time. Just as long as another owner hasn't booked me already, I am available seven days a week. I will follow your instructions for how you keep your pets in your home. Feeding routines, potty routines, play-time and walks, whether or not they're allowed on furniture - you call the shots!

About: I graduated from college with a degree in Veterinary Technology. I currently work at vet hospital in Maine. I have been with animals all my life. And have two of my own. I work full time so during the week days afternoon potty time will be hard but if they can handle over 6+ hours of being alone then it will work perfectly. I would care for your animal at your house so it will be easier on your animal and not be anxious when at a new place. I will give them lots of cuddles and love. I treat them like they are my own. We will play all sorts of games too.

About: I offer animal communication readings for you and your pet. You simply ask your pet questions and I relay their answers! I have been a psychic for 13 years. I work for myself so I can create my own schedule. I do my animal communication calls over zoom and am pretty flexible in terms of days/times. I can do readings for any type of animal. Clients freaking love getting readings to feel closer to their pets! I care for pets by making sure they are seen and understood. Have you ever had a sitter that could actually talk to your pet? It's a game changer!

About: I have been my family and friends go to pet and house sitter my whole adult life. Multiple dogs, or just one. Cats also, I have just never had my own as an adult! I have had animals (mostly dogs) of all shapes and sizes since I was born and treat every animal as if it’s my own! I own a hair salon in Hampton, NH and encourage all clients to bring their dogs in to get all the love while mom or dad gets beautified! I am a self employed buisness owner. This allows me to make my own schedule and gives me the flexibility to take breaks throughout my work day(s) to do tend to any pets needs. Whether that is a few quick potty breaks, walks, outdoor playtime or medication routines as often throughout each day as necessary! I have recently unexpectedly lost my 13 year old dog. Although a senior dog, besides some arthritis in her legs was a very active and energetic dog. She was on medication twice a day and two completely different meals twice a day also. I have cared for 10 week old puppies all the way up to 17 year old senior dogs and will follow their routine to ensure comfort and attention.

About: Taking care of animals is my joy. I have 3 healthy cats and an 8 week old puppy at home who I take care of, and I have been dog and cat sitting since I was around 12. When I was younger I put up flyers around town for my little pet care business, and people loved how I took care of their animals. I am currently working part time and in online school, so my schedule is very flexible and I have lots of time to take care of animals! My cats that I have had for years are healthy and happy and they are my best friends. I have never missed feeding or playing or cuddling, and I will treat my clients animals like they are my own. In my clients home I like to make sure the animal is properly taken care of and that everything is under control, whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, nail clipping, whatever it is!
