“Our pup has stayed with Ashley and her family twice now. Ashley is great! She sends sweet updates, photos, and videos if you want. My dog was so happy to see her he didn't even care that I was dropping him off. My dog likes kids and other dogs, so her household is all fun for him. They took great care of him, and we will use them again for sure!”
“Romeo seemed to have a good stay overnight with Elijah, Carson and their dogs and cats. I received photos and updates and Romeo seemed very tuckered out when he got home so I think he probably had lots of stimulation and fun. Thank you! We will be back!”
“Rowan had a great time playing with the other dogs and cooling off in the wedding pool. He was happy and engaged at drop off and happy and tired when we picked him up. We will definitely be back. Highly recommend!”
“I knew Winnie was in great hands right away. Hope made sure to ask all the right questions and played with our anxious puppy as we left so Winnie wouldn’t cry. Hope also went out of her way to drive two hours round trip so Winnie could be the flower girl in our wedding ceremony. It’s obvious how much she loves dogs and knows how to handle them.”
“Excellent sitters for my dog! Great communication before and during stay. They were thoughtful and intentional with the care they provided. I will definitely ask for their help again in the future!”
“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 left my golden retriever with Briana for the weekend. She provided pictures, updates, and my dog was happy as can be during pickup. He played great with her dog and I will definitely use her again.”
“Greta provided great care for our 11 month old puppy. She has a wonderful property for active dogs and takes them on several walks a day. She was very communicative throughout our pets stay and provided pictures and updates several times a day. We would not hesitate to use her services again. Thank you for the care.”
“Sam and Thomas were great! Our dog Winston seemed so happy to spend time in their home. Pictures were sent regularly which were much appreciated. We will definitely book with them again!!”
“Richard and Hope took great care of Betty; lots of outdoor time and playing with children. They obviously LOVE dogs and make them part of their family! If I’m back in their ar3a, Betty is definitely staying with them again!”
“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.”
“It was our first time using Rover, and our first time leaving Juniper with someone who wasn't family, friend or vets - and we could not have been luckier to find Tara. She communicated well, sent plenty of pictures and updates and made everything flawless. We had to switch our drop-off time and she was so nice about it. Everything was simple and it all turned out great! I could not recommend her more!”
“Appreciate the care given to Daisy for 6 days when out of town.. Received daily photos of Daisy having fun with their dog Bean. She is high energy and having a yard and playmate is the best. Many thanks.”
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.
“Our pups recently had their second overnight with Meredith. She provides very honest feedback about their stays- the fact is, our pups would rather be with us than away from us. But we know they are safe and well cared for with Meredith. She is kind and consistent with them and we know they will settle in over time. We are very happy to have Meredith care for our dogs.”
About: I grew up on a farm and have taken care of a variety of animals. I worked in veterinary medicine for 8 years and spent two years in high school working for a dog and cat boarding facility. Currently a medical student, I have a lot of flexibility. I’m able to complete morning, midday, and/or evening walks. I am often available on weekends. I have a fenced in porch and can take dogs out on leash. I live close by to the rail trail and in a very walkable neighborhood. I can administer topical, oral, and subcutaneous medications.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was ten years old, and I absolutely love their company! I love caring for pets of all ages; our sweet rescue passed away a year ago, who we took in during her golden years, and now my wife and I have a 2.5 year old pup with an abundance of youthful energy. O she loves making new friends, and we would love to have some more dog time ourselves! We go on regular walks, play in the dog park at least once a day, and can handle any dietary, medical, or other type of need your little one has. I’m a paraprofessional; so I have summers off. I work freelance and gig jobs, which I mostly do from home and am used to scheduling around a dog care routine, as we have our own dog at home. I have a fenced yard, and our own dog to keep yours company! I have no issues following any boundaries you’d like me to follow with your pet: I’m happy to crate them when they need time to relax, keep them on or off leash as you prefer, and make sure they’re provided stimulation, play, and opportunities to earn treats!
“Diana and Jeff were very accommodating. The meet and greet went well and even though they already had a boarder they made sure their time was focused for my two dogs. Communication was key in coordination for both sides and Diana was extremely flexible (Thanks so much). When I picked my dogs up they were properly harnessed, fed and ready to go. I definitely recommend this home of dog lovers for your fur babies.”

Elizabeth K.
“Liz is an exceptional pet sitter. She’s wonderful with both dogs and cats. She's patient, attentive, and caring. My cat is shy but Liz took the time to build trust, and now they’re best buds. She even taught him a few tricks, which I didn’t think was possible! My high energy dog can be a handful, but Liz handles him easily, you can tell she has tons of experience and really loves what she does. She’s also incredibly dependable. She responds to requests quickly (usually within minutes!) and has never canceled on me, even when my schedule has changed last minute. She’s always understanding, flexible, and easy to work with. She also worked in a vet office for several years, so I know that she'll know where to turn with emergencies!”
Jessica P.
“Our pup had a fantastic time with Jessica! She kept us updated with lots of photos and even took her to her favorite hiking spots. Highly recommended!!”
Patrick V.
“Pat has watched my two dogs multiple times over the years, across different living situations. Whether they needed to be walked, had an open yard, or fenced in property, he always managed them so well. One of our dogs had a very serious medication regimen for her heart condition and he handled it no problem. He even washed our bedding one time (including the mattress pad) when he noticed one of the dogs had thrown up on it. Excellent communicator, super reliable and can handle jumping, barking, you name it. Highly recommend!!”
