“Pike had a blast running around with keiko all day. They made me feel so comfortable leaving my dog with them and I know they take such great care of him when we are away. Highly recommend!”
“Our dog Roscoe was so happy when we came home. His walks with Shannon made us less stressed during travel and long work days because we knew he was taken care of. Can't wait to book her again!”
About: I work as the Daycare and Kennel Supervisor at a Pet Resort in NH. I am comfortable with dogs of all ages and temperaments, and can take care of dogs with special needs including administering medications or even catheterization, if necessary. I am Canine CPR and First Aid Certified. I am also an NREMT certified EMT. I've had 4 dogs of my own at one time, and have both trained and groomed them since puppyhood! I currently work Monday through Wednesday, but am home all day Thursday through Sunday to care for your fur babies! With 2 dogs of my own, I make sure that I spend as much time at home with them as possible. I have a very large yard that is fenced in on 3 sides, with 100ft tethers to give them the freedom to run around and explore the whole property. I have 2 very playful pups that love having friends over! I can crate a dog, if needed, or have multiple raised beds and large dog pillows with blankets to keep everyone cozy. The pups' comfort, safety, and well-being always comes first!
“Erin was great with Reggie and came through for me when I needed someone on short notice. Everything went smoothly and I came home to a contented dog. Thanks, Erin! Will definitely use you again.”
“So happy to have found Mimi for my two Shiba Inu’s. We had such a wonderful meet and greet! She was so warm, patient, and genuinely interested in getting to know both of our dogs and their individual personalities. It was obvious right away that she truly loves animals and understands that every dog has different needs. Both dogs seemed comfortable with her, which made me feel so much better. I know they are going to be very well cared for in her hands, and I’m really looking forward to having her become part of their routine. 🐾❤️”
“Amy is awesome!! She is very responsible and respectful! My dog loves when she comes by for his walks she sends lot of pictures and videos! She even fills up is water dish if low and if there is a package outside she always bring them in. I will be using Amy’s dog services hopefully for a long time! Thank you!!”
“I went on vacation with my family and hired Beatriz to take my dog for a walk once a day. She did an amazing job and kept me updated with pictures. 100% recommend her.”

More than just a pet, they are a member of the family! Currently working part time and freelance so have a flexible schedule to accommodate different times and schedules as your needs require. We can come up with a set weekly schedule or on an as needed basis, When visiting with and caring for your animal I provide a calming and steady approach to getting familiar with your animal. I make sure to provide the most pleasant and rewarding experience by sticking to any routines, training, and treats while catering to your animals specific character. While being outside (in the yard or on walks) I ensure that the yard is properly closed off and/or they are wearing the proper gear for the selected activity. I make sure to abide by any food restrictions and that no other dogs or people come in contact with your animal for everyone’s safety.
About: I’ve been pet-sitting for over 20 years! Neighbors, colleagues, family, and friends have relied on me to look after their pets during long and short intervals. Every pet parent knows what it’s like to need an extra hand with their pets, whether it’s an extra check-in or potty break for senior dogs and cats, to some couch time spent with them during a long trip. I like to make sure people come home to a happy pet and that they feel reassured of their pets’ safety and comfort while they’re away! I’m not working during the summer, which means I’m free anytime to spend quality time with your pets. I’m an early riser! Always happy to get a walk in before the sun heats everything up. From September to June I work in an elementary school, which leaves me with a lot of flexible time to walk dogs, cuddle cats, bring in the mail, water the plants, and anything else you need! I will take care of your pets and your home as if they were my own. That means safety is always my top priority for your creatures and your house. I will respect the rules of your house, and do my best to alleviate any concerns you have about being away- frequent check-ins, photo updates, etc. My goal is to provide maximum peace of mind for my clients.
About: Hello! I’m Liz, a K-1 teacher with a passion for understanding the unique, non-verbal personalities of our beloved pets. With extensive personal experience caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, and fish, I know that animal communication is all in the details—from a swish of a tail to a specific reptilian posture. I am responsible, nurturing, and looking to fill my extra time by providing capable, knowledgeable care for your "fur kids." Whether it’s high-energy dog walking or keeping your scaled/finned friends on their specific schedules, your pets will be safe, loved, and thoroughly engaged. I am currently working as a teacher in the afternoon and have morning and evening availability M-F for dog walking, daily check-in's, house sitting and more. As a K-1 teacher, I specialize in "reading the room" and picking up on non-verbal cues, a skill that allows me to provide an exceptional level of observant, intuitive care for your pets. My approach is rooted in safety and structured communication; I don’t just "stop by," but instead actively monitor body language—from a cat’s tail swish to a reptile’s posture—to ensure every animal is thriving. You can expect detailed updates after every visit regarding behavior, appetite, and health, giving you total peace of mind while you're away. Whether I’m double-checking heat and humidity settings for your exotic pets or maintaining hyper-vigilance during dog walks, I treat your home and "fur kids" with the highest level of professional responsibility, ensuring your space is secure and your pets feel safe, seen, and loved.
About: New to pet care but willing to perform any duties required! I have a lot of pet sitting experience that I have gained with friends and family and would love to have more along with dog walking! I am on a leave of absence currently from my flight attendant career and am taking this time to do something I am very passionate for which is to care for animals! I currently do not have the right set up with my two cats at my home but am able to care for any pet in clients home!
“Carly was able to accommodate a last minute walk for our dog. She sent a report and it showed how long and where they walked, this gave me peace of mind knowing he was walked adequately. I have used rover in the past and other walkers have not used this feature. We would be happy to have Carly walk our dog again in the future.”
About: What sets me apart is my deep love and experience with huskies—I’ve proudly cared for three generations of my grandma’s huskies ( and if you know about them is that you NEED love in your heart and patience overall so I can proudly say I can take care of any dog with any necesity), each with their own quirks and needs. Since 2020, I’ve been actively training and dog-sitting, and over time, it’s become more than a job—it’s a passion. My friends even call me their “911” for dog walks and puppy emergencies! I’ve helped guide many first-time puppy parents with easy, effective care tips and routines. On any given day, I’m surrounded by a joyful pack of up to 10 dogs, and nothing makes me happier than sharing my energy, patience, and love with every pup I meet. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine—I work online, which gives me a super flexible schedule with free mornings and evenings. That means I’m able to adapt perfectly to your dog’s needs, whether it’s early walks, playtime, feeding, or just some extra cuddles. Since I already care for a group of dogs daily, I’m used to creating a consistent, loving environment where every pup feels safe and happy. I love being active and outdoors, so spending quality time with dogs isn’t just doable—it’s the best part of my day. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or my client’s, I focus on making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable at all times. In my home, I keep a clean, spacious, and dog-friendly environment where pups can play, rest, and feel right at home—especially those with high energy like huskies. I follow feeding schedules, keep water fresh, and make sure each dog gets individual attention, from walks to enrichment time. When I’m in a client’s home, I treat it with the same care I give my own, sticking to their pet’s routines and preferences. I respect their space, keep communication open, and always leave things better than I found them. Whether it’s a puppy still learning or a senior dog that needs patience, I adapt and give them the love and structure they deserve.
