“Aurore takes out dog on weekly walks and she is wonderful! She clearly loves animals and our dog is so happy to be getting more exercise. We would highly recommend Aurore for any pet care needs.”

“Kiersten was amazing with my anxious dog! She was patient with him and did a great job making him comfortable. She paid super close attention to his preferences and behaviors, which I really appreciated. She was super reliable as well.”

About: I’m a very responsible and loving pet owner. Have rescued many pets and now have found myself with some free time and would love to help new pets and people! With notice, I am completely free on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays & Sundays. (Monday, Tuesday & Friday I can be available for a few hours in the am) I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space to play and a kiddie pool to cool off in! I have three very friendly doggos myself but plenty of space so they can be kept separate if you desire.
About: I've taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I've always been a very empathetic person and just love to wave and say hi to dogs going by. I've had dogs of all sizes. My most recent is experience with Chihuahuas. I just love them! I've raised 2 dogs from 8 weeks old. I love all stages of a dogs life, from puppy to senior. I also have experience with senior dogs who need special care and medication. I'm currently working for myself, so I have plenty of time to spend playing, caring, loving and walking with your pets. I'm available M-F 9-6 pm. I like to make sure the pet is comfortable. I want the pet to feel at home with me. The least amount of change from the pets daily activities are important for the pet to feel safe and happy.

About: I have lived with and taken care of at least two dogs of various sizes my entire life. Over the past few years I have dog sat and dog walked the pets of family/friends. Some of which had special accommodations such as meds or a strict schedule which was no problem at all! I love spending time with animals so let me bring my care and love to your pets to make your life easier! I am a recent college graduate looking for a full time job at the moment. Until I find that position, my schedule is as open as it needs to be to take good care of any pets. For my own pets, I share responsibility of all the basic needs of a pet; feeding, walking, giving attention, letting them out for the bathroom, etc.. For the pets of my client I provide all of those necessary services myself. I can dedicate any needed time and effort to ensure that the pet stays safe, healthy and active.
“Melanie handled the booking efficiently and arrived on time. My dogs, including my finicky husky, quickly took to her. She exudes a calm energy, and we would definitely book her again.”


“Brittney took great care of Otis. When I came home he was happy, fed and watered and she sent me some great pictures of him having fun in the snow. I appreciate the peace of mind I got from hiring her thank you very much.”

About: I have had a passion for taking care of animals since a young age. I have experience with all types of animals. I worked as a doggy daycare attendant and a veterinary assistant. I currently work at an animal shelter. I'm currently working 2 part time jobs. Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays availability with the possibility of Mondays. I'm available for dog walking, trips to the dog park and pet sitting. We do have a backyard which is not fenced in and a porch that I usually block off to let my dogs get outside for some fresh air.
About: I am a lifelong animal lover, and have owned dogs, birds, bunnies, guinea pigs, hamsters and mice. Currently I own 2 cats with my partner named Rebel and Scout. Growing up my family dogs have included lhasa apsos, dandie dinmont terriers, a german shepherd, and a golden lab. I have experience sitting all types of dogs so whether you have a small medium or large dog, i am comfortable with all sizes. I also was an American Kennel Club junior handler for five years and during that time I showed my lhasa apsos. I have assisted with 4 four litters of lhasa puppies and am experienced with house training, puppy training, care etc. If you have any other questions I would be happy to answer them and look forward to the opportunity to become a friend to your precious pets! :) I am currently a homemaker, and am fortunate to have some flexibility! Just let me know the times/days you need. M-F preferred weekends are negotiable! My preference is to take care of pets at clients home. It is difficult to have other animals inside with the cats however I do have a fenced in area in my yard I can offer for them to be in!
About: I've been taking care of animals for over 17 years now, and I've been around animals for my entire life. I currently own 3 ducks, a horse, and a cat - I take care of them daily. Over the years I've had chickens, sheep, a bird, a dog, and guinea pigs. I love taking care of animals so much that I was involved in nursing one of my chickens back to health when she lost a wing to a predator. She stayed inside for a while but was more than okay to go back outside after she was healed. Once she was ready to join the rest of chickens, she thrived with the other chickens. For walking at home, I walk on different days for around 1 mile each way, and with animals I love to walk with them. I'm available during most times of the day, as my nights are usually unavailable due to overnights with pets. Some nights will be available, but as of right now it's often booked! Just a heads up is appreciated. I do not have a fence around my property, but I will walk your dog whenever is needed to let them outside. If you don't have a fenced area, I will do the same for your own pet!
About: I have worked with pets for over 17 years in Veterinary Medicine, animal rescue and digital marketing. I have a friendly rescue golden named Eleanor, who gets along with others but a meet and greet will be helpful to ensure that it's a good fit. I live on a farm in NH and am happy to do house stays as I work remote and can dedicate my day to spending time with your pets and keeping them active. I have a senior rescue Golden named Eleanor and we are very active on the farm we live on and around the Seacoast area. She is very friendly and quiet and enjoys the company of other pets.

“Kendra was incredible! She was so easy to communicate with and provided excellent care for our two dogs. She also sent regular updates and photos. It is clear that she truly cares for animals and is very knowledgeable. We would absolutely hire her again.”

“I came in from our of town for a family gathering and needed a last minute walker for my dog. Jeffery was great with communicating with me for the last minute need. Was great handling Denise (my 2.5 year old had) and they had a nice hour long stroll around the neighborhood. Would recommend”
