About: I love to make sure your babies are happy, safe and comfortable so that you can enjoy your time away without worry! FaceTime, texts and consistent communication is what makes me your best choice! Former special educator, patience is my virtue! Weekday social worker, so I’m off on weekends routinely, which coincides with families wanting some getaway time. Occasionally available weeknights for walks and drop ins. Weekends are more flexible, and I’m usually available AM/PM or both. Looking to begin boarding in the Fall 2025 Primarily, I can come to your house for care. Occasionally, happily ready to provide care in my home for dogs on weekends. Walking trails and small yard. Other dogs are plentiful here, I will always keep your dog leashed at all times. I’m not against an occasional pup cup trip but have also respected gluten free diets as well.

“Candice was kind and gentle with my older girl. On time and sent pictures. I will definitely book again.”

“Shauni was terrific! She took great care of our girls.”

“Kevin has been great to work with and takes great care of our cat and dog. We always enjoy knowing our favorite fur-children are in great hands.”

Matthew M.

“I knew when we had our first meet and greet that Patrick and Sampson would hit it off! Patrick was amazing - very communicative, enthusiastic about his stay with Samspon and he provided the best care and companionship for my big buddy. He also took great care of my home and I was totally relaxed on my vacation knowing he was here with Sampson. Hands down, highly recommend and I’ll most definitely be looking to hire Patrick for future homestays with Sampson!! A++”

“Sidney did a wonderful job sitting for us and our 3 small dogs for 4 nights. We hope she is available every time we need a pet sitter. She provided photos every day and there were no issues the entire time. Thanks again Sydney!”

Mark M.

“Amanda was wonderful for my fur children while away. She was responsible and timely, and shared pictures throughout her stay with them so that our minds were at ease and we could relax. Our Aussie/Border Collie has extreme anxiety and attachment issues, but I could tell he immediately relaxed around her! We are so thankful to have found her!!!”

About: Hello! My name is Tai, I am 25 and I have lived in New Hampshire for my entire life, along with my dog and cats. I recently completed my masters and now work as a Project Manager. I enjoy hiking, cooking, or just snuggling my pets in my free time. I have a 2 year old Maine Coon, and have nursed 3 domestic shorthair kittens who were 4 weeks of age to then be adopted by their forever families. I also care for my two very large 100 lb + family dogs who love go howl! My availability varies from day to day but aim to be as flexible as you need me to be as I work from home! My special skills include being connecting with many animals, showing my compassion and love while also training and ensuring their safety. I am currently flexible with my availability, and can discuss various schedule adjustments in order to fulfill your pets needs! I am flexible with work and often times can work from your home! I treat everyone’s home as if it is my own, and treat their pets as my own. Dependent on what the pets need, I will conform to their preferences and needs in order to safely and comfortably keep them enriched until their parents come home!

“My pups took instantly to Claire. She truly has a way with them. Communication was clear and professional. Will definitely use again. Thank you!”

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. -Gwen (they/them) 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.

“Tara was great with the kittens, and so great about communicating throughout the process. She saved the day after someone canceled on us last minute! Thanks Tara!”

About: While I haven’t owned a dog myself (apartment living made that difficult), I’ve spent my life loving and caring for other people’s dogs. I’m a very proud dog auntie. I grew up around my grandparents’ unforgettable beagle, Toby, and later helped care for everything from Great Danes to terriers and a Basset Hound. I once worked for a woman whose chihuahua was undergoing heartworm treatment — she became my constant companion in the garden. I’ve loved a labradoodle who ate everything in sight and somehow survived it all, a leaning, escape-motivated Newfoundland, a senior dog who persevered through major health issues, and a zoomie-prone puppy working through attachment struggles. Through all of them, I’ve learned that dogs each have distinct personalities, needs, and quirks. I’m comfortable with large breeds, strong pullers, barkers, high-energy dogs, seniors, and medically complex companions. I pay attention, follow owner expectations carefully, and take safety seriously. If I could have my own dog, I would — in the meantime, I care for other people’s dogs the way a devoted auntie does: with patience, humor, structure, and genuine affection. I’m a teacher during the school year, so I have a consistent weekday schedule and am typically available after 3:00 PM (sometimes earlier depending on the day). My routine is steady and predictable, which makes it easy to build pet care into my afternoons and evenings. As a cat mom myself, I don’t travel much and am usually home on weekends. During the summer, my schedule opens up significantly, allowing for greater flexibility and daytime availability. Pet care fits naturally into my life — it’s already part of my daily rhythm. I care for pets by closely following each owner’s instructions and respecting the routines they’ve built. I know from my own cats how much animals thrive on consistency — steady feeding times, familiar patterns, and clear expectations help them feel secure. I pay attention to behavior and body language, and I maintain whatever boundaries or household norms you’ve established. Whether that’s play style, medication schedules, or simple things like keeping certain doors closed, I aim to make my presence feel predictable and calm. Safety matters deeply to me. I naturally double-check doors, gates, and details before I leave, and I make sure every pet is comfortable and settled. My goal is for you to feel confident that your animal is cared for the way you would care for them yourself.

About: I’ve been caring for a variety of animals for many years. From dogs and cats to horses and chickens, I have a wide range of experience. I strive to find out what works for your pet as an individual to keep them feeling comfortable! I am dog and cat CPR and First Aid Certified by the American Red Cross. **Based in both Salem, CT and Wells, ME so my profile location may change, either location can contact me anytime! I work part time with some flexibility, making pet care available at the time you need it! Tell me what works for you and I’ll see what I can do :) In a clients home I would prioritize respecting their space while caring for their pets. Communication is an important part to trusting someone to watch your pets, I will be happy to work with clients to make sure they’re comfortable.

About: I have been dog sitting for others for 4 years now and have had cats and dogs most of my life! I am an avid pet lover and love helping out pet parents care for their fur babies. I have trained basic skills, potty trained and crate trained dogs. I am no longer offering boarding or house sitting as I have a new needy roommate, (pictured on my profile) Daisy 🌼 I am a recent graduate student and work part time in the mental health field. My schedule is fairly flexible and I am able to be home often if needed for a pet. I am a good fit for dogs/cats that are able to manage 6 hours alone for days I have to work! I offer a quiet and patient presence for your pets! I will accommodate your pets needs whether that’s lots of snuggles or just a person to check in. Every pet has their own personality and I completely understand any accommodations or activities your pet needs.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. When my parents go away I’m left with the responsibility of taking care of my 2 dog, 2 cats, and 2 bunnies. I am currently part time and have days off at a time for house sitting or daily walks! I also never start working before 10 so I can be available in the morning for walks or drop-ins I have a lot of experience in pet care as I’ve grown up with dogs, cats, rabbits, etc my whole life. Taking care of animals was and still is a huge part of my life
