House Sitting in Peterborough

“Doreen and Cindy were excellent house guests and took very good care of our dogs. We have a very shy dog that took to them immediately which put us at ease for travel. Would recommend.”

“Can’t say enough good things about Melissa! I had zero concerns about the care of our fur babies while we were gone overnight, which allowed me to relax and have a great time! Someone else mentioned in their review that you know not the minute you meet her and they were 100% right. I knew immediately she was the perfect fit. She’s very detailed oriented, which with two senior dog, one who is blind, this is very important. She communicated frequently but no too much and the dogs settled in with her like they’d known her forever. So happy we found Melissa! Our girls deserve the best!”

“We had to leave town at the last minute and Elizabeth kindly took care of our dog. She even made time to come meet the dog and see the house before we had to go. She was responsive and took great care of the pup. Thank you, Elizabeth, for taking the additional worry of dog care off the plate while we prepared to leave town! I would use Elizabeth again for sure!”

“Maddy did a fantastic job sitting with our pup! She was very attentive to our needs. Rupert, our pup, absolutely adored her. I could tell from the first time they met, but more than that, he didn't look like he had lost weight when we returned. That means to me that he didn't miss us as much as usual ;) I also was happy with the updates. I knew she was enjoying him just as much as he did her. She not only took great care of Rupert but of our house and plants too! I highly recommend her. She is the best!”

“OMG THIS GAL IS FANTASTIC!!! First of all I was able to book her on super short notice! She was very responsive. Met me right on time. Took Shirley bird for a short walk and then let us get on our way. Sent me lots of pictures! 10/10 would book again!”

“Christian has grown up with dogs, and his mom had a dog sitting business in his home. He has experience with all kinds of dogs and dog personalities. Christian is an educated young man who has always been responsible and kind. He is caring and conscientious and would be a great fit for this this endeavor. You can’t go wrong with him. Be well.”

“Adrianna was great! She came through on short notice and took great care of my pup and house!”

About: I went to college for both a Veterinary Technician degree as well as a Pre-Veterinary Medicine degree. I've been working at a veterinary hospital for 6 years, but have been pet sitting for longer. I am very comfortable administering medications, and have plenty of knowledge about animals. I work full-time at a veterinary hospital, but am free on the weekends. I also can stop by before and/or after work, and I'm very comfortable with house sitting. I do my best to fit pet care into my schedule if possible. Personally I have two cats and a rabbit that I love very much. One of my cats is a senior with hyperthyroidism, so he requires medication twice daily. Otherwise I have cared for many pets with a variety of needs, such as an asthmatic cat that needed an inhaler, or a diabetic cat that needed insulin. I love taking dogs on walks, or just playing with the pets in the home. I also enjoy house sitting as it gives me more time to get to know the pet.

“I would highly recommend Melissa to anyone and will absolutely be using her again for future bookings! She took great care of mine and my sister's dogs and was very attentive to their needs! My dog is high anxiety and my sister's dog is an old lady with very particular and sometimes difficult eating habits, but we felt at ease knowing she was taking care of them. She sent photos through the day, as well as a couple of updates each day. She did ask for my preference for how I would like to receive updates, including how often. She was very accommodating!! Lastly, the house was left nice and clean, which was great to come home to after a week away!”

“Through her experience working at doggy daycares, vet hospitals, and farms, Nicole has ample experience caring for just about any animal you can think of: dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, cows, horses, and pigs. She absolutely loves animals and has watched my Aussie mix Loki on several occasions. Loki is best friends with her sweet dog Oshie, and I always know he's in the best of hands. I would recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a passionate and knowledgeable caregiver.”

“Abigail was great! She stayed in our home and cared for our two energetic rescue dogs while we were out of the country. She kept us updated with photos and text messages during her time dog/house sitting. I knew right awat Abi would be a great fit when she visited us for a meet and greet. I immediatately felt her kind energy and level of competency. And, our dogs warmed up right away, too! I would recommend Abigail without any reservation and hope she's available for our future travels.”

About: I’ve always had well behaved dogs and cats. Currently we have two dogs, a 2 1/2 year old rescued lab mix and a senior pug mix. We also have some other animals, 4 indoor cats, 6 outdoor cats, chickens that free range, ducks and rabbits. When I was in high school and junior high I walked dogs after school and in the summers I house and dog sat this included dogs with strict diets, training routines and all activity levels. I make my own work schedule so I can work around you! I currently spend most of my time working on or from my property. We have a large yard for long leashed fetch with local hiking trails connected to the property for daily walks. The house has a large gated porch with a pond view that our pups can spend the whole day looking at but it also connects to small fenced yard area. For indoor space we have a spare bedroom and all different size crates. Well behaved pups will also be aloud in the main living area. All animals are different I want to be respectful of your pets needs and provide them comfort and fun distractions while they eagerly await your return.

“Dakota did great with my very anxious, fear-aggressive dog. He also kept the puppy on a great house training routine. Dakota responded quickly and was available on short notice.”

“Excellent pet sitter!! I felt confident leaving for the day knowing katie was taking care of my animals. She was flexible with times, sent me updates and was a pleasure to work with. My animals really liked her! Will definitely use Katie again when I need pet care in the future!”

About: I currently have two golden retrievers, Queso and Roux. I had a blue heeler/aussie shep mix and a cocker spaniel/German short haired pointer mix. My family has also raised two puppy litters too! The second litter being bottle fed. I currently serve on the board of a local nonprofit dedicated to preserving the Newfoundland Pony. I have been volunteering with this organization since 2015. When I'm not with my animals or volunteering, I love to road trip around the US. Safety for all is my number one. I have some experience with reactive dogs. I am very careful during visits to ensure that we reach a positive outcome everytime.

“Sarah was the perfect dog/house sitter. She is clearly experienced and understood the needs of our dog. She sent us photos while we were away and our dog looked happy and content in all of them. Sarah did everything we asked and I will definitely hire her again in the future. I highly recommend her without reservation!”

“I was glad to have Audrey meet Quinn. He is young and can still be a challenge but I believe they enjoyed themselves, and it saved me worry about him being home alone.”

“Ashlee did a great job watching my fur babies. She was available at the last minute and after meeting her I was confident she would do well. I would definitely use her again.”

“Carrie was an excellent sitter. She was quick to respond to the booking request and to set up a meet and greet. We have 3 dogs ranging from 13 years to almost 2 years, and they can be a handful, but they all took to her right away. She was very professional and friendly and great to work with. She took excellent care of our pups and we came home to 3 happy and safe dogs. She sent pictures and videos and updates throughout the stay which allowed us to relax and enjoy our trip knowing the pups were in good hands. She left the house in great shape and made sure we arrived home safely. We would highly recommend Catyie to anyone, and will definitely reach out for any future sitting needs.”

“Trie is awesome. She has a calming, nurturing and intuitive demeanor and personality. She loves and connects with all animals and I have known her to care for various dogs of many breeds and ages. She is super responsible and the fact that her other businesses revolve around art and online spaces, it leaves her as the best option for a pet sitter as she is able to be present and spend lots of time with pets!”
