Doggy Day Care Portsmith

“Another wonderful visit at Dawn's house. She has so much fun with Dawn's daughter and their two dogs. It's a mini vacation for Maggie when she is with them. Couldn't find a better place for her when we are away.”

“Lajetta is the best! She frequently watches my dog and he gets so excited to see her and loves going over there. He usually doesn’t want to leave when I go pick him up. She does a great job caring for Tony.”

“Greg is a lifesaver! Super responsive and easy to coordinate with, I had a pretty last minute need for off-site dog sitting and Greg thankfully was available and flexible. I'm so glad he has Hilo too, someone to play with definitely helps my big baby not be glum about being away from home.”

“Peter took my puppy on more walks than he gets at home! He came home tired, which is hard to do with this fella. I appreciated the generous care he offered my puppy.”

About: I have always had a dogs in my life. I went from growing up with dogs to getting my own dogs when I went off to college. They have been with me since up until recently when we had to put our dog penny down at age 16. Suddenly I find myself without a dog and it is very lonely, but I am not ready for a new permanent addition, so I am hoping to pet sit to still have dogs in my life. My husband and I both work from home, so we are around to give pets love and attention throughout the day. We do have 2 young children so it is important to us that your pet loves kids or is at least used to kids. We recently had to put our two elderly dogs down (14 and 16) so we really miss having dogs around the house but are not ready for a new permanent pet yet, so we are very excited about dog sitting. We have a fenced backyard, we love going for walks, and our kids would love to spend hours playing fetch if that's something your dog enjoys.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs, cats, birds, fish and rodents and have taken care of them my whole life- training, washing, walking, playing, etc. I have booked many clients with Rover and feel very confident in my ability to gain trust from both humans and animals. I love animals with my whole heart and would love to help take care of yours! My schedule is currently open, so I can provide pet care mornings, afternoons, evenings, or weekends as needed. I’m reliable and adaptable, and I’m happy to coordinate with pet owners to meet their pets’ routines. If my schedule changes due to gaining a part-time job, I’ll update availability promptly. I would love to be an additional help to anyone in need of pet care 🐶🐱 I provide drop-in care, including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and enrichment for dogs, cats, and other pets. I focus on building trust and keeping pets happy, comfortable, and well cared for, while tailoring my approach to each pet’s needs and personality. Whether it’s a quick visit or a longer check-in, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and supported.

“Ching yin was great with our pup! This was the first time Birdie has stayed with anyone outside of our house, and Ching yin was very patient and accommodating with her.”

About: I grew up taking care of family dogs and began sitting friends dogs before adopting my own pup, Scooby. I'd grown up with typically smaller and mid size dogs and sitting a large dog helped me realize how much I loved the gentle giants and rowdy ones. Scooby was a handful initially - reactive, anxious, stubborn. I knew with love, care and time he'd become the gentle giant he is today. I'm committed to always learning more about training and helping dogs be good safe citizens. I work remotely which allows for lots of proximity if needed as well as flexibility in planning daycare / boarding daytime walks, play and drop ins. My goal is pup fulfillment. That means engagement through play, pets, walks, treats games. I make sure to include time to decompress whether it’s on a cozy pillow at home or in the shade after running and rolling in the grass. I’m attentive to dietary needs. From model citizens to pups with “problem behaviors” I’m committed to working together to ensure they have the best time while you’re away.

About: Hi! I’m Danielle and I work from home as a digital marketing professional. My profession offers me a lot of flexibility in my schedule so I’m often available for pet care, which I absolutely love! My professional pet care experience includes over 10 years of pet sitting, working at a humane society and volunteering with shelters and rescues. I have experience with many types of pets, temperaments, and special needs. Puppies? Seniors? Reactive? No worries! I’ll provide attentive, loving, gentle care. Since I was a small child, I’ve been happiest when spending time with and caring for animals. When not showering other pets with attention and love, I can be found with my sweet dog, Jack. He’s a 12 yr old black lab mix that I rescued off the street when he was just 7 months old. I look forward to meeting you and your pet friends! ☺️ My days are fairly flexible so I have availability most days for pet check-ins, sitting and walks. I’m happy to discuss specific availability upon request. I live in an upstairs apartment. Pets staying with get regular on-leash potty breaks outside (we generally take a short walk since there is no yard), are allowed on the furniture and are showered with adoration (unless they’re not into that). Whether in my home or yours, I always follow instructions given and prioritize your pets’ wellbeing, safety and comfort.
