“Toffee, my 3-year old golden retriever, had a good time staying at Joe’s place. She looks happy and healthy when we picked her up and she almost did not want to leave! 😅 It was wonderful to see Toffee made some friends while staying with Joe (16 days!). It is not easy to find a good pet sitter or a boarding service provider here around Upper Valley. We really appreciate the services Joe and his partner provided.”


“Christina and Jason were great with my girls. I received pictures of them daily along with descriptions of their daily activities. They kept my girls busy and happy. I would highly recommend them.”


“Samantha is wonderful!!! We are here for the summer and had to board our lab for a week. He was experiencing some allergies and Sam was more than happy to help! She provided updates, photos and videos of him throughout the week! We were able to add a day to our itinerary mid stay. Sam is very flexible! The location is exactly what we hoped for! Lots of space and outdoor time. Sam does daily walks. She offered to keep Riggs with the timid crew since he is a bit shy. Sam knows and love dogs! We are incredibly thankful for her!”

“Kevin was great with our highly energetic dog, Archie! He was very communicative day to day! Archie spent 4 days having the time of his life on the homestead and came home dirty, tired and happy. If we’re ever in the area again, or if we were living there, they would be our go to! Thanks again!”


“Sam and Thomas were wonderful with our dog! We were able to meet ahead of time to ensure that our doggos got along and it was a great fit! When we dropped off our Waylon boy, he was so happy to be able to play with two friends (Sam & Thomas' dogs)! They were all so welcoming, friendly and kind. We were away from Friday - Sunday and they sent me several pictures of Waylon enjoying life at their place. I am so happy we meet them and we plan on booking them again for our next trip. If you want a family that genuinely cares for animals and will take excellent care of your dog, contact Sam & Thomas! They are amazing!!”



“Gwynn was amazing, ad Ursa had a wonderful time. We enjoyed the daily picture and video updates, and it was clear Ursa enjoyed being in such a beautiful, safe, and loving environment. We would recommend Gwynn and her lovely property to anyone seeking a caring provider. Thank you!”


“Lika and alister are the great sitter. She responded imminently whenever I ask. My baby looks so happy with them. Mine is an active puppy and they did really good taking care of him. They took him walks more than I even asked for. They even played several time throughout the day. I received lots of videos and photos and by seeing them, I definitely believe that they are a good sitter. Thank you for taking care of my baby like your own. You will be my no 1 contact whenever I need a sitter. I really love your service.”


“Min Joo is a very thoughtful and accommodating dog sitter. We had a wonderful experience and felt reassured that our dog was well taken care of with the frequent communication and photo/video updates.”


“Callie had a wonderful time and their dog Amber is her new best friend! Tom kept us up to date with plenty of pictures and we could see she was being well-cared for. She was "doggone" tired when she got home, which we appreciated!”


“I could see that my dog was having a good time and was in good hands. Edgar and Rene have two well-trained dogs already and spend plenty of time with them out in their yard. Edgar was always available and replied instantly to messages.”


“Sarah, Ben and Bean are the BEST. Attie had the most incredible time playing with Bean and I loved the updates and pictures. Sarah knew how nervous I felt leaving him for nearly 3 weeks and was so considerate and kind. Attie came home tired and he seems like he misses Bean and Sarah already. Love that we have found such an incredible family to leave Attie with when we are away ❤️”


About: I have taken care of cats and dogs for as long as I can remember. Looking to get my own, but in the meantime, would be excited to watch yours. I have plenty of toys and treats and I’m happy to do anything that makes you feel comfortable to keep your furry friend happy! I currently work at Dartmouth Hitchcock full-time which is why I typically can only watch during the weekend. My flexibility means I can also sometimes work remote. Depending on your preference, I’m sure we can work out something great. I am happy to do anything that makes you feel comfortable. I love to go for a walk, so I’m happy to take them down to the small park that we have. Or if they’re not much of a walker, I’m happy to sit and relax as long as they know how to pick a TV show.

About: My name is Ben and I live with my wife, Laura, in Canaan. I work from home and we are both available as needed throughout the day to provide close supervision, companionship and outdoor time for your pet. We grew up with a lot of pets, and have always loved being around dogs especially. We have had several Saint Bernards in the past and are comfortable with large dogs. Whatever the shape or size, we look forward to getting to know your pet and giving them the best care we can provide. We are happy to host and are flexible to travel, both weekdays and weekends. Looking forward to hearing from you! Availability 7 days/week with flexible work hours. Can travel to your home and stay overnight if needed as well as take out for walks during the day. Our house is spacious and comfortable with a large yard and surrounding areas to take for walks. Will follow instructions carefully to best accommodate different needs.

“Samantha was great . My Cooper seemed very content & happy when I picked him up. I Samatha took good care of him. I will definitely book with her for future pet sitting.”


About: Since I was 12, I have taken care of neighborhoods, friends, and families dogs, cats, and other pets. I have owned three dogs, other miscellaneous pets, and have raised three litters of puppies. I am more than happy to feed and care for other pets, including rodents, amphibians, and reptiles. I am a college student back home from July 30th to August 20th. My schedule is completely open and I can house sit during the week. I am unable to bring pets into my own home. I will stay over at my client’s houses with their pets because it tends to be more convenient.

About: There was not a single day in my life that I was not surrounded by dogs. No matter which house we lived in, I was always greeted after school by one, two or three dogs. Before moving for university, my mother and I began fostering puppies for two weeks at time. We would wake up at 4am when we heard them squealing, stay up late making sure they could have the latest potty break possible for hopes of maybe sleeping in the next day, and even build a pen in our backyard to allow for endless playtime together. Due to these numerous pups we cared for, my dogsitting popularity skyrocketed in our neighborhood. I was being called upon every other week to care for my neighbors cats, dogs, and once even a chinchilla. Now, I hope to provide the same service and be there for your cutest friends when life simply gets in the way. I don't mind the -20 degree weather if it means going for a nice brisk walk with your dogs.

I am certain she would treat your pets as she treats her own- with kindness, patience, and plenty of love.”

South Strafford dog parents share their Rover experiences
Our giant, lovable Newfoundland, Finn had a wonderful stay with Eddie, Rene, and their two dogs. They welcomed Finn (and his drool and fur tumbleweeds) with open arms and Finn easily settled into their daily routine. He loved his daily walks, snuggles, and playtime. We loved our daily picture updates and the easy communication. Eddie and Rene paid great attention to his needs (snuggling during fireworks) and made his stay extremely comfortable. We are so happy to have found Eddie and Rene who love our slobbery, giant dog as much as we do. Finn is looking forward to his next vacation! Thank you Eddie, Rene, Hans, and Guinness!

I picked up a happy pup after a stay with Eddie and Rene. Eddie took Charlie on walks, hikes, and to the local parks. He has two other dogs who got along well with Charlie. Eddie is quick to respond to texts and sends pictures along. We will have Charlie stay with Eddie and Rene again. Thank you !
