Dog Sitting Rochester

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a kid. I’ve walked and fed them, and made sure they were happy at home. I have my own 11 year old beagle/terrier/boxer mix dog Bailey who I love to take care of, he’s my best friend. I’m a college student, and I have times throughout the week especially on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and weekends. My schedule is flexible and I have a car. I like to bring calming and loving energy into every home. I love to make sure each pet is comfortable. I love to take dogs on walks, play with them inside and outside, and make sure they are getting fed and cared for.

About: I'm currently a Pre-Veterinary student at University of New Hampshire and currently work at a local veterinary clinic. As a veterinary assistant I have gained experience with animal handling and care. I am also Fear Free Certified and know had to adequately prevent fear, anxiety, and stress in both cats and dogs. I have previously worked at a training facility and am familiar with certain signals and behaviors that animals demonstrate to express themselves. I have owned cats and dogs my entire life and have been exposed to many types of breeds, species, and seen interesting cases regarding animal health. When I'm not at school I take care of my two dogs and cats at home. Furthermore, I work part-time at a veterinary clinic at school and at home so I am constantly surrounded by animals and have exposure to many cases. I previously owned a diabetic cat and learned how to administer insulin shots and monitor her glucose levels multiple times a day. I feed and water my animals in my home at least twice a day, snacks are often provided as well. I walk my dogs as much as necessary (typically twice a day). I always play with my cats and dogs. I have a kitten who loves playing fetch with toy mice and a 5 year old dog who enjoys hiking trips and swimming. The two dogs get groomed when needed but I brush them consistently in between grooms. Finally, I am responsible when it comes to my animals' health and notice any changes in behavior or appearance almost immediately. I find it important to keep them up to date with vaccines and any other medications they need.

About: I have a life time of experience. I grew up helping my mom take care of peoples animals. Farm animals, birds, dogs, cats. A special skill of mine is training dogs. I currently work part time Monday-Friday, that gives me the ability to have a bunch of playtime on the weekends. I will also be available weekdays after 5:30 I have a small fenced in yard, and land to explorer weather your dog is off leash or on leash there is a place to play for everyone. I have crates incase your dog needs a break/nap. I also have baby gates to ensure everyone is safe in my care.

About: I am a responsible, reliable, and intuitive dog lover, who will care for your dog as if they were my own. I understand the importance of showing up when scheduled and tailoring the service to your dog's individual needs. I grew up with family dogs since birth, and have cared for my own dogs over the past 20 years. I started my own professional dog walking and sitting business in 2018. I have experience with many different breeds, ages, and abilities. Through my dog walking business, I also have extensive experience walking small groups of dogs off-leash in nature. If you are interested in this service, I have two female golden retrievers who would be thrilled to join your dog on an adventure hike, providing enrichment, socialization, fun, and lots of exercise! I've recently relocated to Strafford, NH so I'm looking forward to building my clientele in a new area! I serve the Southern Lakes Region of NH. Please note: -Boarding and Sitting Nightly Rates include potty breaks in the morning and evening, as well as a 30 minute drop-in visit or private walk midday. Additional time for the midday walk, adventure hikes, or additional walks may be added on at a discounted rate. Dog care is my full-time job and life! Drop-In Visits & Walks: I'm available Monday through Friday, 8am-4pm, for walks and drop-in visits, with some after-hours availability on an as-needed basis (please note, after hours requests may incur an additional fee). Overnight Sitting & Boarding: Available 7 days/week. Since I care for many dogs during the week, your dog may be hanging out at home for a period of time while I walk other dogs or run errands. Other than that, I'll be home with your dog! Your dog will be treated the same as my dogs, and that means they will be the center of my attention! Boarding: This is a very calm and quiet household (with the exception of some barking) - no kids. My two female golden retrievers (2yrs & 10yrs) are allowed on our couches, so yours would be too if you allow it. Your dog is welcome to sleep in my husband's and my bedroom, or downstairs in the living room/kitchen if they prefer a cool tile/wood floor. Free-range dogs are welcome and crate training is not required unless your dog is destructive or unsafe when left unattended. Please bring your dog's crate if needed, as well as their bed, food, and any other items they may need. We have a fenced in yard to let them out for potty-breaks and to play with each other as well. Overnight Sitting: I have many years of experience staying in clients' homes with their dogs. In addition to caring for your dog(s), I'm happy to take in mail/packages and water house plants. If you want, I can even bring one or both of my dogs with me to provide socialization and companionship.

About: I have had dogs my whole life, all different breeds with all different needs. My current dog lives with seizures and continuously needs attention, meds, and different foods, so I understand that all dogs need special care, and lots of love! My schedule varies, but I am actively looking to make extra money over the summer, so I will do my best to make bookings work! If visiting your home to care for your pup, I can take them on a walk, play with them, feed them, clean up any accidents if necessary, or give them meds if needed! I want to care for them just the same as you would.

About: I’m patient, attentive, and great with all temperaments, from playful puppies to calm seniors. I have a Rhodesian Ridgeback and two Australian Shepherds that I’ve raised from 8 weeks old, working on training, routines and daily care. I always prioritize safety, keep routines consistent, and always send thoughtful updates and photos so you feel totally at ease while you’re away. I absolutely love dogs and genuinely enjoy fitting pet care into my routine. I’m available for walks and drop-ins around my work schedule, and I’m consistent, on-time, and flexible when plans change. I’m great with early mornings or evenings and happy to coordinate what works best for you and your pet. I treat every home with respect and every pet like my own. I follow routines closely, double-check doors and leashes, keep walks safe and calm, and make sure pets feel comfortable and secure. I’m clean, mindful in your space, and always send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.

“All went without a hitch. Thanks, Jessica!”

About: I offer animal communication readings for you and your pet. You simply ask your pet questions and I relay their answers! I have been a psychic for 13 years. I work for myself so I can create my own schedule. I do my animal communication calls over zoom and am pretty flexible in terms of days/times. I can do readings for any type of animal. Clients freaking love getting readings to feel closer to their pets! I care for pets by making sure they are seen and understood. Have you ever had a sitter that could actually talk to your pet? It's a game changer!

“Thanks Faith! I appreciate the help very much :) my only feedback would be I’d love some more photos of all the cats each day along with a little more description on how they’re doing :)”

The dog can sleep with me as well if that is what they are used to, I do have well behaved dogs that would love to play if thats what your pet would enjoy. I want your pet to have as comfortable an experience as possible while their loved one is away. Its what I would want for my pets and I would treat yours the same way. At your house I will follow whatever rules you have for your pet whether it be leashed walks or play in a fenced yard or area

About: My love for animals started at a really young age and it only grew from there. I grew up with all different breeds from shitzus to Mastiffs each hold a special place in my heart. At 16 I started volunteering at a rescue. There I tended and cared for all different animals from horses and goats to cats and dogs. I’ve cared for many animals at all different life stages from newborn puppies, kittens, and kids to senior pets all the way up until their last day. I have 8 years experience not only with rescue dogs but one with high anxiety, as I even have one of my own. I am currently a Veterinay assistant and work about 40 hours a week. I have 5 years worth of veterinary knowledge and can meet your pet where they are at. I currently have 3 dogs and 1 cat all at different life stages. My pets are my world and I will do anything for them. I will care for your pet as I would my own. I will ensure their safety, health and wellbeing while giving them all the love they need and deserve. Trying to stray away from my full time job and make this my full time job. Caring for pets is my top priority and brings me joy. My pets are my world and mean everything to me. I will do anything for them. When I am taking care do your pet I will treat them as my own and give them nothing but outstanding care.
