“Christine responded very quickly and was eager to watch my Great Dane! She did a phenomenal job with the check-ins. I trusted her and am glad I did. Will definitely be contacting her again :)”

“Kim and Donna did a great job caring for Pixie and sent me pictures and a short message to let me know all was well while I was away. We are very happy with the care they provided our pet!”

“Lisa was amazing! Helped us out last minute and was amazing with Roscoe. Sent us pictures and that was greatly appreciated. Our first time away from the boy, difficult for all of us. This will be easier next time for sure thanks to Lisa. We will definitely be using Lisa again. Kind, courtesy and professional. Thank you Lisa.”

“Having Shauni take care of all my animals while I’m out of town takes a huge weight off my shoulders. She has been so thoughtful and thorough. Her communications are clear, consistent and comforting. I’m a repeat customer and hope to use her services again in the future.”

About: I’ve owned and worked with dogs my whole life. I am the owner of a grooming salon and have worked in dog daycares as well as an animal hospital. We will treat your pups like our own! 🥰 We like to stick with what they are used to at home. Sleep on the bed? No prob! Snuggle on the couch? You got it! But if you have rules you are working on we are happy to help with those too. We have a large fenced in yard but the snow is high right now. So to be safe we are only taking dogs under 30 lbs. I have always specialized in senior dog care so if you have e an older buddy they are in good hands! ♥️Can’t wait to meet your pups! Also, we have 2 small dogs so yours must be ok with other pups. My husband and I both work from home so it’s easy for us to give the pups attention and care all day. Together we have plenty of time for walks, play, and snuggles! I have a large fenced in yard, but if you prefer walks that’s totally doable. I also have a Chinese crested mix and a Schnoodle who are very used to new dogs in the home. We also have baby chicks in the house until spring but they are in enclosures. In case your pup has a high prey drive, they can be moved to a safer area. 😆
About: I grew up with, and have cared for dogs for most of my life. I have taken care of family members and friends dogs, some long-term, throughout my adult life. I’m very gentle natured and meet dogs where they are at. My job is to make them feel comfortable and cared for and all of the dogs I have cared for have had such different needs and personalities! I’m very keen on reading their signals, and have dealt with timid/older dogs in the past, and helped them come out of their shells. I currently work part time as a manager at Somersworth Storage, on Thursday’s Friday’s (9am-5pm and every other Saturday until (9am-1pm). I’m available Monday-Wednesday, however I would be available some Saturdays as well. I do not currently have any pets, and would care for an animal based off of their environment, and if they have a fenced in yard or require leash walks around the neighborhood.
“Amazing Kate to the rescue, again. Kate is an awesome person who always goes the extra mile with your fur babies. She takes initiative to do some extra things that say so much about her as a Sitter and a person! Rock on Kate!❤️ ❤️❤️”

About: Hi there! I’m a huge animal lover who’s grown up around both cats and dogs my whole life. I currently have 2 cats of my own, and I know what it is like to want them to be in the best hands while you’re away. I have cared for family, friends and neighbors dogs- from home visits to long walks! I know every pet has their own personality—whether that’s a playful pup who needs lots of exercise or a shy cat who just wants a calm, cozy presence. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love building trust with animals. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and stress-free while you’re away. The comfort and safety of your furry friend always comes first :) Please feel free to reach out to schedule a booking! I am currently going to college online, and have a very flexible schedule. Caring for animals during the day would be the perfect task to unwind from schooling! I also have some weekend availability, if that is what’s needed for you and your pets. I focus on keeping your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible while you’re away. That means sticking closely to feeding schedules, walk times, and any special care instructions. I also pay attention to behavior and body language so I can adjust—whether your dog needs extra exercise or your cat just wants a calm companion. I keep things clean, safe, and organized in your home, and I always send updates so you know exactly how your pet is doing. My goal is for you to come home to a happy pet and everything just as you left it.
About: Hi my name is Jean! I am a dedicated and reliable pet sitter who treats every animal like family! Weather it's playful puppies or a senior pet needing extra care, I provide reliable, loving attention tailored to each pet's unique needs. I understand how important peace of mind is when you are away, so I prioritize safety, communication, and affections. Your pers will be in caring, capable hands every moment!

I make sure to set aside time out of my day to serve the needs of my animals. I have plenty of time in the afternoon to spend time with my animals and when I get home from work I have plenty of time for walks, dinner, and of course play time.
About: Iv had pets my whole life and have pet sat for friends and family many times in the past. I live on the second floor so it might be hard for senior dogs unless they don’t mind being carried, I’m relatively strong so heavier pets won’t be a problem, I can provide puppy pads for puppies and have a large litter box that is sanitized between uses. I am not currently working so I have all the extra time in the world, My children are at school for 8 hours of the day so if your pet(s) prefer no kids the morning/afternoon would be best for you, they’re older and calm kids who love pets so if your pet is ok with kids they’ll get along great. I have an unfenced yard but not many neighbors, I have a fenced in balcony and lots of trails for walking dogs if that’s what they would like to do.

About: I have spent lots of time with elderly dogs and cats, and I love ensuring they have the consistent care they need while their humans are away. I have also worked with young pets who are house or litter box training. I also love fish, rodents, and reptiles! If you have a zoo at home, I may be the sitter for you. I currently nanny a small human part time, so I have plenty of flexibility in my schedule. Week days I am available before 10:30am and after 3:00pm. Weekends I am free all day. Overnights are always available. I deeply value the trust it takes to have someone in your home taking care of your beloved furry friends. I strive to provide care that keeps pets happy, safe, and satisfied while maintaining a calm and clean environment in the home I am visiting.
About: I have been dog sitting since I was 15 years old. For four years I dog sat for a wonderful family with three shit-zus before I moved to New Hampshire. I have experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes. I had a senior dog when I was a teenager, so dogs with special medications/diets are no problem. I’m still figuring out what I want to do with my life and I’m interested in working with animals. I believe meeting and caring for animals is healing for the soul. I have two cats of my own currently that I love dearly. I work in an office with a flexible work from home schedule. I have open availability nights and weekends to care for your sweet pets. I will always greet your fur baby with lots of love, in whichever way it is wanted whether it be pets, kisses, hugs, or a treat.
