“Morgan is GREAT!!! My dog Lena is old, uses pads...usually (I mean, it can be a timing thing)...and uses them often. Morgan was so kind to her - changing the pads lots, trying different foods out when she was picky..and letting me relax while away as I could see Lena was with someone kind. I'll totally use her again and for longer trips! :-) I definitely recommend her. She left everything super clean and organized by the way (BONUS!!). YAY MORGAN!!!”
“Thank you Sarah for taking such great care of our girl. We came home to a very happy girl. We received lots of updates and photos. This was Sarah’s first stay with Sadie, but definitely won’t be the last!”
“Sue was wonderful. Our dogs took minimal time being comfortable with her, where they normally take 15-30 min to warm up to people. When we returned home the dogs were happy and Sue left the house spotless. Thank you so much for a great experience, Sue!”
“Peter watched my dog for 4 days and my dog is older and had some issues due to a broken tooth right now and some anxiety. He was very commutative with me and kept me informed of anything that he believed I should know. He sent pictures and videos. I highly recommend Peter. House was also clean upon my return. (Sarah was out of town so wasn’t able to come but I met her at a meet and greet with my dog and she was very friendly. )”
About: I’ve taken care of various dog breeds to help out friends and family for years. I’ve had to follow specific instructions based on behavior and/or medical needs of the animal. I’ve been relied on for potty breaks, meal times, and a little activity. I work full time, however, I’m available for afternoon walks/care during the week. On weekends, I have flexibility with my schedule to include play dates, feedings, etc. I have a small indoor space to enjoy, as well as, a BIG unfenced yard. I prefer to use a leash when outdoors at all times unless I brought them to a fenced in area or are known to stay close to home.
“Mark was wonderful and very responsive. He kept me updated with any issues and was kind and caring towards my dog. I can’t say enough good things about the care he took with Boomer. I am thankful that he was able to watch Boomer and have already booked him again!”
“Anesa is great. She and Dexter got along famously. We appreciate that she took him on a hike and on playdates with other dogs over the weekend. She also gave us periodic photo updates which were greatly appreciated. We'll definitely rebook the next time we need a sitter!”
About: With 5+ years of hands-on animal care, lifelong pet ownership, agriculture school training, barn management experience, and extensive research. I bring unmatched dedication, leadership, and a deep understanding of animals that truly sets me apart. I go to college in NH and have a decently open schedule. I am free to walk, watch, stay with your lovely pets any day and any time. I currently have 3 dogs that I treat as my kiddos by walking, snuggling, and taking care of them daily. I enjoy fur babies more than humans.
About: Working with animals of all sizes, from cats and dogs, to horses and more, I have lots of valuable experience! My love and passion for animals since childhood has continued on into college, where I am majoring in Veterinary Technology and Animal Sciences. My classes provide me with further exposure and education on species of all kinds. Being around animals is truly my happy place! Being home from college on break until the last week of January, I am hoping to stay busy and hang out with some furry friends! My schedule and availability will be determined on a first come, first serve basis! I am very thorough with the caretaking of animals, ensuring everything is done safely and as requested by the owners. I will love and care for your pets, just as I would my own!
About: I've had dogs my whole life and have spent much of my life caring for a variety of breeds. I studied animal science in college, worked at a doggy daycare, and I am now a veterinary technician. Your dog will definitley be in safe hands with me! I am comfortable with basic grooming services and administering medications if need be. I am very active and would be happy to to take your pup along on all my adventures with me! I am currently a student. I have to be on campus for 4 hrs on Monday's, Wednesday's, and Saturday's. Otherwise I am free to spend time in your home with your pet(s) or going on fun adventures with them. I have a friendly female dog who will most likely stay at my house with my family while I am staying at your house. If your dog would love a companion than I am happy to discuss bringing her with me.
“Took wonderful care of my dog and kept me updated on how things were going and sent pictures. Very responsive and responsible. Definitely would recommend Kimberly and will use her again!”
“Dana was an A++ sitter, and I can't recommend her more highly. Our two pups loved her immediately! Our older dog has dementia and a heart condition, requiring a lot of care and medication--Dana handled it like a pro. She also send us pictures and updates regularly. Knowing that our dogs were in such capable hands allowed us to really enjoy our weekend away.”
“Hilda stayed at our house and watched our dog and cat. She was wonderfully professional and as a bonus a wonderful house sitter as we came home to a cleaner house than we left it! I would not hesitate to hire her again.”
About: I’ve had animals all my life growing up - dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, snakes, etc and in my adulthood have cared for several animals myself as well (dogs, cats, snakes) I work at an elementary school so work school hours right now (7am-330pm). My car is also currently in a shop being repaired so I will be walking or getting a ride so I prefer to stay close if possible. I am not able to bring the animals to my home as I live in a small apartment with 3 large dogs already, unless they are a caged animal.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats and have done house sitting for 4 years. I love doing this kind of stuff. I can walk them, go for walks all that fun stuff. Im doing babysitting right now but can house sit whenever and can be with the dogs/cats whenever. I am always free to take them out whenever needed. I will watch pets in your home and or/ stay in your home for house sitting overnight. I will keep them safe and follow any rules.
About: My partner, April, and I have been caring for dogs our whole lives. We have experience working with different ages, breeds, temperaments, and varying levels of special needs care. We began our training journey when we rescued our two german Shepards and trained them as our service dogs. Our girls, Maya and Sadie, have grown so much in these past years! Watching the progress is very rewarding, so we want to extend that same reward to you, your pup, and your family. At this time, we offer dog walking, drop ins, and we are open to house sitting in your home depending on location. At this time we don’t have openings for scheduling training sessions, but if there are behavioral concerns, please let us know and we can discuss how to support your pup. We understand everyone works different schedules. Our schedules are very flexible and we want to make sure your pet is able to be cared for without time restrictions. We offer morning, afternoon, and evening hours. We will treat your pup like our own. We will discuss what is most important to you in regards to ensuring the visit is safe in their environment. It is important to let us know of any medical or special need cares ahead of time so we can properly educate ourselves first. We will discuss any routines to be followed and review safety measures to follow.
“I don’t have the easiest of dogs - stranger danger! Kathleen was fantastic! She kept in touch on when I was leaving, how the dogs did, when she was leaving. Put my mind at ease while I was traveling.”

Sydney W.
“Sydney has done dog sitting and housesitting for me on two different occasions. Both times an elder dog (17+ years old) was involved plus a younger dog. Sydney did an amazing job. The elder dog had special needs such as wearing a diaper and needing to be carried to his food, to go outside, and to bed. Sydney handled these extra responsibilities with great care and both of our dogs were safe, happy, and healthy when we returned home. Our house was also in great condition and well cared for. I definitely recommend Sydney for any pet care needs you have.”
