House Sitting in Somersworth

“Anna was great with my dogs yet again. My shepherd can be high maintenance but Anna put in a lot of effort to bring the dogs to sniffspots to give them safe places to play after she got back from work and was patient with her demands for an early bedtime and early am breakfast and potty time. We will definitely book with Anna again!”

“Kate did an amazing job with our two English Bulldogs. She went above and beyond with keeping us informed. I think they may prefer her over us lol. If you’re looking for a top notch sitter, you can’t go wrong with Kate!”

Joe W.

“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 enjoyed my trip so much more because I knew Melissa was taking excellent care of my kitties. She sent me lots of pictures and updates to reassure me. She did everything I asked of her and more. I will definitely be booking her again!”

Kaye K.

“We had an excellent experience with Courtney. She sent us daily photos and updates, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs received regular exercise and plenty of attention, and it was clear our cat was comfortable and well cared for as well. We came home to happy, relaxed pets and a well-maintained home. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for dependable, attentive pet care.”

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 scaredy cats are not overly friendly upon first meeting, but Claire was patient with them and worked her cat whispering magic to draw them out. They had such a good time with Claire that when we got back, they barely noticed. Claire asked a bunch of questions, and I felt comfortable leaving her in charge of my cats. I appreciated the many pictures she sent to let me know that both cats had been sighted and were being well cared for. Thank you, Claire!! Johann and Misha are already wondering when we’re going to leave again, so you can come back.”

“Leah took great care of our pup! We had such peace of mind while we were away. She spent lots of quality time with him at home and on walks, definitely goes above and beyond! Glad we found her!”

“Caitlin was fantastic with our guy Walter. Very respectful of the place and the animal. Walter even followed her as she was leaving. Will for sure use her services again when we need”

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 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.

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.

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.

“Candace took great care of our puppy while we were out to dinner! She was reliable, communicative, and made us feel completely at ease. Josh was happy and well cared for when we got home. We'd definitely book with her again!”

“Thank you Chandler! So glad I found Chandler on Rover.com. My dogs were happy and very content when I arrived home. He was great about sending dog pictures and letting me know how they were doing. On a side note our house looked perfect as well. He is one very neat and clean sitter!! I will be calling Chandler again!! An thank you for the very fair rate for more than one dog! Thank you again from Messi & Chloe!!?”

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

“Tara gave the very best care to our senior dog with separation anxiety. She helped her stay calm and relaxed while we were away. We found Tara to be flexible, kind and professional.”

About: I work during the work week but have the flexibility to work with your needs! Have been caring for dogs since I was a little girl since my mom is a vet and I am very experienced with their care. Always having fun and spoiling animals :^) I’ve been walking and house sitting animals, specifically dogs of all sizes and ages since I was 12 years old.

“Eric you is efficiently responsive, excellent to work with at the last minute, and when we were stranded due to a missed flight, came through for us and our Daisy.”
