Pet Sitting Portsmouth

“Alexa made our two dogs very comfortable. She visited our home on time and provided good updates. Our dogs seemed very well adjusted. She followed their routine well. Highly recommend her care!”

Lisa C.

“Fabulous! We had a last minute booking and she went above and beyond. Very prompt with updates and photos. I’m sure our dog is disappointed to have us home :)”

Melissa G.

“We had a great experience with Natalee! She was wonderful with all of our cats, including our more shy kitties, and did a fantastic job keeping up with multiple feeding schedules, different types of food, and medications. She really took the time to get to know each cat’s personality and play style, which we appreciated so much. We also loved all the pictures and updates from each visit — it gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend Natalee and would use definitely her again!”

Joanna F.

“Kristen was communicative and just an overall great experience. She watched my two cats while I was out of town and made me feel completely at ease. Would definitely recommend”

Jessica D.

“Justina took great care of my cats while I was gone. She did daily check ins at my house, gave them so much love and attention, and sent me daily photos and updates. I will definitely be booking again for future trips.”

Emma P.

“Our scheduled pet sitter canceled and in desperation, I searched the internet and found Rover. I sent out my request and in minutes James responded. I was instantly relieved. He came over to visit us before leaving for vacation to meet us and our pets. James administered medication and took wonderful care of our 4 cats and dog. We are super grateful for all the help and services James provided us. We will definitely rebook again!!!”

About: Hi there! I recently finished grad school and I'm using this transition time for doing things that I love— like spending time with dogs. I have two years of paid experience as a dog walker and in-home pet sitter, plus a lifetime of hands-on experience with my own family's medium and large breed dogs (GSD). I'm reliable, patient, and comfortable with dogs who have a lot of energy or need a confident, steady presence. Whether your pup needs a midday walk or some extra attention, I'd love to help. Flexible availability and happy to meet beforehand so you and your dog feel comfortable! Given I am between grad school and starting my career, I have a flexible schedule and considerable availability. I'm available weekdays and weekends, so I can offer consistent, reliable care whether it's a one-time walk or an ongoing arrangement. When I'm in a client's home, I treat it with the same respect and attention I'd want for my own space. I follow the owner's routine and instructions closely — feeding times, walk schedules, medication, and any specific habits or needs your pet has. I make sure doors and gates are secure, keep an eye out for anything that could be a hazard, and always double-check locks when coming and going. For the pets themselves, I focus on keeping their routine as normal as possible: regular walks, playtime, fresh water, and plenty of affection so they don't feel anxious or lonely while their owners are away. I am happy to send an update with some pictures when I’m with your pet! Additionally, while on walks I typically avoid dog parks and other interactions with dogs unless this is requested by the owner.

“Madison was fantastic! She followed all of our instructions, and our kitten absolutely loved her. We also received wonderful photos that made us feel like we were right there with her. Highly recommend!”

Riley P.

“Sammi took excellent care of my two cats!- she was able to accommodate my request despite it being last-minute (which i try to avoid, but can happen!). She communicated very well & followed all my ridiculously detailed instructions! Definitely would recommend her to other pet owners 😊”

Ida R.

“James is friendly, reliable, and an excellent communicator. Despite my very last-minute request, he was able to accommodate drop-in visits while I was away for work. My shy cats trusted him instantly, and it was such a relief to have peace of mind during my trip.”

Mirina S.

“Tati was amazing as she helped us out in a pinch using the drop in services for our dog. She was responsive, prompt with her visits, and sent plenty of photos, despite knowing I was going to be out of cell service for this visit. 10/10 would recommend her and rebook her”

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'm an animal lover and have grown up with all types of animals. I have been trusted taking care of neighbors, friends, and families pets for many years. My sister is a veterinarian so I often get the pet questions. I will go above and beyond for your pet. I work from home Monday and Tuesday so I am free to go for walks and drop by your house most of the time these days. I am in the office Wednesday through Friday and will have less time but still available. Weekends are free unless I'm away. I live on an acre of land. It is not a fully fenced yard but it is set back in a small, quiet neighborhood on a dead end road. I have an indoor cat.

“Cody was great! She was very communicative and dedicated to our cats. Our flight home was cancelled and she stayed on to help. She brought them toys, hung out with them and always made sure they were well fed. Thank you Cody! :)”

About: Kristine and Eric have loved and had animals our entire life. I have always helped care for pets, even as a child. Eric was raised on a farm, caring for many different kinds of animals- waking up before dawn to ensure that all animals were properly cared for and had what they needed for the day whether it be rain, shine, snow, sleet, hot, or cold. We, together, have two dogs. They are both around 10 years old and are rescues. We also have 6 chickens. Our home has a door from the downstairs to the upstairs. When dogs are home during the day and if left alone for 1 hour or so they stay downstairs with access to water, comfy couches, and dog bed areas. When we are home they have free run of the home. We also have a crate for dogs that may need a private, safe space. We have a back yard that our dog enjoys playing in, but just so you know it is not fenced in, therefore dogs remain leashed when in the back yard. We do have a deck that is closed off in the backyard where dogs can be left unleashed to hang out, but always supervised when out there. We also have a 15 year old daughter who loves animals. She assists with the care of our dogs and we have fostered a few dogs in the past from various shelters and she is always eager to assist with making these dogs feel comfortable and give them love. She volunteers at a local animal shelter with small mammals and takes care of the chickens I work full time during the school year for a school district. Eric works from home. Eric takes dogs for a number of walks per day including walks to the local dog park (Rogers Park) and to local beaches for exercise and socialization. I am home by 3:30 pm and bring my dogs (and other dogs) for exercise either running, hiking, or walking. In the summer I am mostly around. I also grew up with cats and with both have experience with cats and providing meds to cats, including insulin shots. I work full time and Eric works part to full time but we can walk dogs in the evening and walk dogs throughout the day on the weekends. I have summers off as I work in a school. I will not be offering care in my home, but am excited to take care of your pet and walk your dog and take your dog on adventures.

About: Growing up on a farm has given me an immense amount of pet care experience. I have been an avid horseback rider my entire life. There are few animals I haven’t owned. I have managed a doggy daycare as well as trained dogs in obedience and for hunting birds. Anytime after 530 Tuesday through Friday I am available for walks or checking in on your pet. Friday night through Monday afternoon my schedule is flexible. I am a vigilant and aware pet sitter. Our home is on a quiet street and the backyard, while not fenced, is majorly closed in.

About: Hi! Heya! Hello! Are you looking for someone to care for your pet while your away? Well you've found them! Fun, energetic animal lover who can't wait to meet your pet! Drop-ins and Walking! Volunteer work with B.A.R.K, S.P.C.A, as well as experience working as a kennel assistant at Holiday Barn Pet Resort. Why I love dog sitting? I've always gravitated towards animals; I was that kid who brought home any animal that crossed my path, feeding strays, foresting. Growing up in a home where the pet to human ratio always favored pets, pet sitting is second nature to me. My experience administering medication I've done my fair share of administering medication to all sorts of animals. I am able to administer oral, injections, topical ointments, as well as suppositories. I currently work a dual remote position at NHPBS and have the flexibility to work from home which allows me ample time to provide the attention and care your pet requires. I’ll be an extension of your home and care. The goal is to provide a safe environment where your pet feels loved and has an enjoyable stay until your return.

About: Dogs were my first love. I've cared for dogs young and old, adopted and fostered dogs, raised puppies, provided training at all ages, and provided post-op and healthcare for unwell dogs. I have extensive experience loving and supporting dogs through their toughest moments, including separation anxiety, phobias, and illnesses. I've walked with pups from all paws of life - all breeds, ages, energies, and personalities - and loved them all!! All dogs are wonderful, and I will never, ever discriminate by breed. As a full-time dog pamperer, I've got plenty of attention, love, toys, and fluffy blankets to keep your furbaby happy and loved while you are away! I will love your dog exactly as they are - high-energy, low-energy, and everything in between. Whether they want endless walks or endless snuggles, I am excited to make your dog's stay an unforgettable getaway just for them! I know how hard it is to trust someone with your best friend. I'm happy to go above and beyond to make you feel confident that your pet is in good hands - from photos and updates to video check-ins. Your comfort matters to me just as much as your furbaby's. I always provide top-tier pet care, giving you peace of mind so you can enjoy your vacation to the fullest! I have a highly flexible schedule that allows me to give your pup all the love and attention they deserve! I am delighted to accommodate your furbaby anytime with enough notice. I am available for boarding weekends and weekdays, any time of year. My dog is the center of my universe, and I will treat your pup like they were my own! My house is their house, and my furniture is their furniture! My wonderful 9-year-old dog, Cleo, will be happy to keep your furbaby company. She's super friendly, low-energy, and always eager for a cuddle. I have access to a private dog park, an unfenced yard, and easy access to nearby nature trails, parks, and beaches! I can't wait to meet your furbaby!

“Veska took such great care with our 16 year old dachshund. She went above and beyond to walk and feed Sweetpea. We highly recommend the dog care service that Veska provides.”

About: I love dogs and have a beautiful almost 9 yo 1/2 Lab 1/2 GSP of my own who I fostered and then adopted February 2018; she will gladly keep your dog company and busy playing at my home. I have a large fenced in back yard 2 miles from downtown Portsmouth with plenty of room for the dogs to play and run around in. I am recently retired from Corp Amer, and am home with the dogs so they won’t be left alone. I will only take up to 3 dogs (dogs must be over 2 years of age and show zero signs of any aggression) in at a time for day care and 1 or 2 for boarding so your dog will get plenty of love and one on one attention. My prices may be a little bit higher than other people on this app, but that is because I’m only taking one or two dogs at a time and your dog is getting 1:1 care versus being in a rowdy kennel type environment with several dogs around. You can rest assured knowing I will care for your pets better than most. When I am walking your dog, I will engage with them, give them loads of attention, and will not be looking at/reading my phone. There are toys and tennis balls for them to play with in the yard and they will be let out every 2 hours for potty breaks and play, and can lounge around on the couches if they feel like it too. If they are 100% trained with recall, we go for 2 off leash trail enrichment hikes/ walks per day, otherwise they can be walked on leash around my neighborhood. At bed time, I play soft spa like music so the pups can sleep well and comfortable. I would like to have a meet and greet with all dogs and owners before they board at my home. My daycare rates are for up to 8 hours per day. If you drop your dog off at 8:30am, the dog must be picked up by 4:30pm otherwise you will be charged an additional half day rate. Latest pickup is 6:30pm. After 6:30pm it becomes an overnight. Drop offs must be before 6pm. I cater to dogs that need a little extra support and don’t do well in a chaotic kennel environment, which is why it is more of a “boutique “style service. (1:1) At the most, I might pop out for an hour but the dogs will not be left alone for more than an hour or 2 max. I have a large crate here if your dogs likes to be crated. I am not currently housesitting, only taking dogs in at my home. I do not book out months in advance. I generally only book out 1-2 months in advance. I am now currently only booking through Oct 2026. I let the dogs out every couple of hours for potty breaks and play. I will only take in 2-3 dogs max for daycare at a time and one or two dogs at a time for overnights, as to not overwhelm any of the dogs. This is a relaxed stress free environment for the dogs. I do not take in any dogs that show any signs of aggression.
