Pet Sitting Portsmouth

“Madison and Joe were great care givers to our cat. They made sure he had an ample supply of food and water. Simon had a wonderful time playing and enjoying the fresh air outside. He’s very lovable and enjoyed their company while we were away.”

About: Owned dogs entire life, have trained rescue dogs, and have experience in providing senior care for dogs. My dog is diabetic so I also have experience with insulin injections and oral medication. I have a fenced in backyard and many toys for dogs to play with! I am able to board and care for dogs throughout the weeks due to flexibility in my schedule. I am also willing to let your dog out when available, and help in any way I can! I will make sure the dogs are loved and shown affection, played with, walked, and taken care of as needed. I will always make sure the dogs are happy, have water at all times, toys to play with, etc.

“Addison is a great sitter. She’s great with animals, responsive, and we felt like our furry friends were in good hands. We plan to use her when traveling in the future.”

About: I’ve had dogs of my own and have been dog sitting since I was 12, with about a year of professional experience. I’ll treat your pets like family and make sure they always feel safe, loved, and cared for! I have a flexible afternoon schedule and make sure to plan my day around the pets I’m caring for. I love spending extra time playing, going on walks, and giving them lots of attention. I’m available on weekdays Mondays-Thursdays after 1. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority! I make sure they feel comfortable, get plenty of attention, and stick to their usual routines. I’m happy to follow any instructions you leave and will always treat your home and pets with care and respect.

“Paige was awesome with Maggie. I wanted to know that my puppy was gonna be with someone who had a real connection with her, and this was definitely Paige! And yes I will be reserving her services again. Thanks!”

About: We share a deep love for animals and welcome them into our hearts. Dirk has spent his entire life surrounded by dogs and cats. Growing up, he was a vet tech, and his mother, a retired veterinarian, raised over 15 animals. Mari grew up with a sweet Yorkie. Thanks to our backgrounds, we have extensive experience with pets. To us, pets are more than just animals—they are our children. Having recently said goodbye to our own beloved cat and our dear dog (a Husky/Pitbull mix), we know exactly how precious your furry babies are to you. We are currently experiencing an empty nest and missing that daily companionship so much, which means your pets will receive our absolute full attention, love, and cuddles. We will always treat your furry family members with the exact same love and respect that we show our own. We would love the opportunity to care for your pets, meet your needs, and share our love. Please let us know if you are interested, as we would absolutely love to help! Our family is ready to welcome your pet! Dirk is a student at the Naval War College with a very flexible schedule, while Mari is a stay-at-home mom from Japan who has plenty of time to dedicate to your pet's needs. Because we both love animals, pet care will be a true team effort—our high school son is also ready to pitch in and help! We love to provide plenty of affection, but we are also happy to engage in active, rough-and-tumble play if your dog prefers a more high-energy routine. Our home is located in a newly developed, quiet neighborhood with a fully enclosed, decent-sized backyard. Since we currently have no pets or small children, our place can serve as a peaceful sanctuary for older or sensitive dogs who prefer a calm, stress-free environment. At the same time, our spacious yard is perfect for high-energy dogs who love to run and play. We also have access to great nearby walking areas for pets who love to get out and explore. Whether your dog prefers lounging inside or staying active all day, our family can easily adapt to their unique personality, activity level, and daily routine.

“Holly was absolutely incredible, 11/10 experience. She took such great care of my babies &followed all the care instructions 🥹✨ exceeded expectations.”

About: Mother of two kiddos and one doggy. I just took a break from watching dogs while we welcomed a new pup to our family. He’s a 1 year old Portuguese Water dog and he’s very friendly and loves to play. I’ve had dogs my whole life and love taking care of them. Please reach out with any questions about me. Thank you! Im currently a stay at home mom and have a very flexible schedule. I can work around most time frames and schedules. My days are usually spent at home with my youngest and our pup so another dog or two fit into our schedule perfectly. We have a semi fenced yard in a very quiet neighborhood that is close to a beach. We also have a fully fenced back deck where the dogs can be inside or outside at their leisure. We love to play and we have plenty of time for walks or playing fetch and cuddles.

“Nicole took great care of our cat! He loved all the treats and pets while we were away! Very communicative with pictures and updates, which was very appreciated.”

About: I’ve been a pet mom for 26 years, and animals have been part of my life since I was a kid. I raised Remi from 8 weeks old, so I’ve been through the puppy stage, training, the teenage years and all the fun that comes with raising a dog. My previous dog lived to 10½ before we lost him to cancer, so I’ve also experienced caring for a dog through his senior years, including giving him allergy shots via syringe. I’m comfortable with dogs of different ages, personalities and energy levels, and I understand that every pet has their own routine and quirks. I’m especially good with pets who need a little patience and attention to feel comfortable with someone new. I’m happy to follow their normal routines, whether that means a long walk and lots of playtime or a slower pace with an older dog. And yes, I’m perfectly happy to spend part of a visit sitting on the floor giving belly rubs. I also have a soft spot for cats and would love to do drop-in visits for them. I’ve had cats throughout my life, so I understand that with cats, sometimes the best care is knowing when they want attention...and when they would prefer you pretend you don't exist. I work from home, so my schedule is flexible and pet sitting at my home is easy to accommodate. I can work around your pet’s routine and am available for walks, drop-ins and sitting. Pets staying with me will have plenty of company throughout the day rather than being left alone for hours. For stays in my home, your dog would need to be comfortable around my dog, Remi. I’m also happy to care for pets in their own home when that’s a better fit. I’m a little obsessed with making sure doors, gates and anything else a pet could get through are properly secured — if I do it at my own house, I’ll do the same at yours. I’ll follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, medications and any special needs. I’m also careful about leashes, introductions and anything else that helps keep your pet safe and comfortable. And of course, I’m happy to send photos and updates so you know how things are going while you’re away.

About: I’ve always been an animal lover, and I know how important it is to have someone you can genuinely trust caring for your pets when you can’t be there. I’ve had dogs of my own and understand that they aren’t “just pets” — they’re family. I’m dependable, patient, attentive, and absolutely the person who talks to animals like they understand every word I’m saying. 😂 I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, whether that means walks, meals, playtime, medications, lots of cuddles, or simply keeping them company while you’re away. I understand that every animal has their own personality, quirks, likes and dislikes, and I’ll take the time to learn what makes yours comfortable. I’m also a mom, homeowner, and working professional, so I understand the importance of being responsible, respectful and trustworthy — especially when someone is trusting me with both their pet and their home. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and weekend house sitting. When your pet is with me, you can expect regular communication and plenty of pictures and updates, because I know how reassuring it is to actually see that they’re happy and doing well. My goal is simple: for you to be able to leave knowing your pets are safe, comfortable, loved, and in good hands. 🐾❤️. I work full-time during the week, but I’m available for pet care after work on weekday evenings after 3:30 and have open availability on weekends. Weekends are perfect for house sitting, longer visits, walks, and plenty of quality time with your pets. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine whenever possible and will always be upfront about my availability before accepting a booking. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I provide care in your home, where your pet can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I’ll carefully follow all instructions for feeding, walks, medications, gates, leashes, and any special needs. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would expect someone to give my own, and I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos while you’re away

“Charlie was a fantastic pet sitter. My 3 cats are challenging, needing to all be fed separately and kept separate while I’m away! I’m sure it was difficult to juggle feeding each one, separately, changing water dishes, scooping 2 boxes at opposite ends of the house, making sure no one escaped from their partitioned areas, all in a half hour - and finding time for a little love or play. Charlie reported any uncertainties that arose, and sent me pictures at the end of each visit which was very much appreciated! I felt at ease knowing my little rapscallions were in her hands. Her rates are reasonable and fair, and I would heartily recommend her!”

About: Hello! I’m a stay at home mom with a lively 2 year old, and two big pups of my own! We have tons of time during the day for dogs walks or drop in visits. I’m a full-time stay at home mom, so besides our routine nap time (11-1), we have tons of time during the day to spend with your pup! I have a big fenced in backyard where we do lots of running around and playing with our dogs. We’re also a very active family and go on frequent walks throughout the day.

About: As a lifelong animal lover, I bring both reliability and genuine care to every pet I work with. I have experience caring for dogs and cats, and I’m especially comfortable with larger breeds and pets with unique personalities. I have my own 8-year-old chow-shepherd mix, so daily long walks, patience, and attentive care are already a huge part of my routine. I also have experience caring for senior pets and understand the importance of slower pacing, medication routines, mobility awareness, and extra comfort and patience. Whether your pet loves active walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply calm companionship, I tailor my care to their individual needs and personality. I’m dependable, observant, communicative, and committed to making sure your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine since I already spend a lot of time walking and caring for my own dog every day. I genuinely enjoy being active, spending time outdoors, and giving animals attention and care, so incorporating pet care into my weekly schedule is something I truly look forward to. I adapt my care to each pet’s individual routine and needs to help them feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Whether that means long walks, playtime, feeding schedules, giving medicine, potty breaks, check-ins, cuddle time, or simply providing calm companionship, I’m happy to do it all! I know how important consistency is for pets, so I always aim to follow the owner’s instructions closely while giving every animal plenty of attention, patience, and care.

About: Hi, I’m Reagan! I’m a dog trainer based in Newport with nine years of professional pet care experience, and I’ve been around dogs quite literally since birth. My own dog, Wrecker, is a Malinois mix, so if your dog is strong on leash, has very big feelings about squirrels, or needs a little extra room when another dog passes, I’m more than comfortable with that! I work with dogs of all ages, breeds, and energy levels, from puppies figuring out the leash to seniors who like to read every tree on the block. I’ll give a shy dog time to warm up, and I’m just as happy spending time with an easygoing dog who wants a good sniff and some company. In other words, dog? Yes, please. On walks, I’ll use the cues your dog already knows and choose a route and pace that suit them. For drop-ins, I’ll stick to their usual routine, whether that’s dinner and a potty break or a game of fetch. When I house sit, I’ll keep the little things familiar, right down to how your dog settles in at night. I work part-time and plan my week ahead, so we’ll talk through the timing and how much company your dog needs before we book. I’ll send photos and updates so you know how they’re doing while you’re away. Dog care is already part of my everyday routine. I work part-time and plan my week ahead, so I’m happy to set up regular walks or drop-ins and take one-time bookings when I have room. Tell me what timing works best for your dog, especially if they have a set mealtime or potty schedule. For house sitting, we’ll talk through when I’ll be there and any time I’d need to step out before we book. I know how much trust it takes to hand someone your keys and your dog’s leash. I’ll check that their gear is secure before we head out, give them space around distractions when they need it, and double-check that your home is locked when I leave. I’m easy to reach through Rover, and I’ll ask what kind of updates you like, whether that’s a quick check-in or a few photos and videos. If your dog seems off or something unexpected comes up, I’ll reach out promptly. You’ll also get a route map in your Rover Card after walks. If you use a pet camera in a common area, I’m comfortable with that. Just give me a heads-up before we book.

About: I am your typical dog lover. I have been a member for rover for years and built a consistent clientele. My goal is to give your dog the best care as if they were my own! Accommodations can be made for any of my services offered. I work full time but accommodations can be made. Best available after 2:00pm on most days, but living an active lifestyle makes it easy to add a furry friend to my nightly runs or walks. Making sure your animal is comfortable is my main priority. Catering to each pets specific needs is how I gain trust from each new pet.

About: I grew up in a creature-loving household-- no animal too big or too small to love! I grew up mainly around cats, at one point having six at once. My mother and her mother before her never met a cat they couldn't make purr, so I truly think it's in my blood. My heart doesn't stop at cats, though! Many neighborhood dogs relied on me for their walks when I was growing up. I can also administer medicine! I grew up with a cat who had asthma and another cat who regularly needed gabapentin. Not to get ahead of myself here, but I can also administer an inordinate amount of pets and snuggles if needed, so I would absolutley love to meet your pets. I am dedicated to caring for animals. I'm just getting started, but besides Wednesdays and Saturdays, I am free most days from 9 to 5. I'm also flexible and more than willing to work out other times if necessary (with enough notice). I believe in leashed dogs and indoor cats! (Unless closely monitored outside with an abundance of permission and training/experience). I have a keen eye for knowing what a cat is going to get into and putting/throwing it away before it happens. When walking pets, I limit interaction with other pets, people, cars, etc., just as an abundance of caution (unless requested otherwise). I have the basic toolbox for pet health and safety, but I am more than happy to work with any accommodations that might be necessary
