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.


4. Peter & Sarah P.

“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 have taken care of all types of animals since I have been a kid. I started with a chocolate lab and an Australian shepherd. We then got a couple goats and chickens we used for shows and for eggs. We now have another Australian shepherd, a chocolate lab, and a 1/2 Great Pyrenees and 1/2 Anatolian shepherd. I can understand different types of dogs and their mannerisms as well as meet whatever needs they might have. I have also already dog sat for one of my professors and will be sitting for him again soon! I am currently in Physical Therapy school at Plymouth State so I am able to take care of animals in the late afternoon or night during the week and whenever is needed on the weekends. I have a large shared home with 2 other roommates who are also great with animals. I love to go on walks with dogs and play with them for however long their heart desires. Other animals will have lots of space to hangout in my apartment if needed or hang out in the owner's home doing whatever is normal for their daily routine.

7. Sue C.

“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!”

About: Pets have been apart of my life. From growing up with our family pets to being a dog mom and aunt in my adult life. I find that each animal holds their own personality and once that is recognized a strong relationship can be built. I am prepared to provide any services from potty breaks to walks and even the occasional overnight. Please feel free to contact me for more information. I currently work full time. Please check with me about specific times and days. I am open to long and short term contracts. At this time, I am unable to host in my home. I am available to sit in your home. If this is our first time meeting, please request far enough in advance so that we could have a meet and greet. I provide any services needed in and around your home. I own a vehicle that can transport your pet to a near park or their favorite walking trail.
