“Mark is a super responsible, resourceful, caring individual. He made sure to stop by before we went away for a thorough visit so all his questions were answered. We were worried about some weather coming in and blocking our driveway and Mark assured us he would make sure our kitty was taken a care of no matter what Mother Nature had in store! I highly recommend Mark to any pet owner wanting peace of mind while away from home.”


“Audra was great! We needed Audra for back to back days with our pup Leo and she was prompt, responsible, kept us informed, and Leo received lots of love and exercise. We would definitely use Audra again.”


About: I've lived with dogs nearly my entire life! I've helped to care for my dogs as puppies and in their old age! I absolutely love dogs of all ages and breeds and I will provide the most loving care possible! I am a nursing student home for the summer with plenty of time to care for your pets! I am free any day/night of the week! I have a fenced in yard and access to a private beach on Lake Winnipesaukee, so your dog will have plenty of room to play, run, and swim! I currently do not have any other pets living in my home, but I do have plenty of dog treats and toys!

“Dawn was very professional and timely. She did a great job taking care of our cat while we were away. I would book Dawn again for pet care and drop in visits. Thank You!”


About: I have spent many overnights at homes while providing pet care. The durations of these stays have been up to a week. I do very well with following clear directions for feeding, medications, as well as other pet care needs. This includes affection and playing— I absolutely love dogs and cats! I am a teacher, which of course is a very busy job. However, I do not work over the summer, which means I have lots of flexibility in these months. I am also available during most weekends! I care for pets in my clients’ homes by following instructions regarding feeding, medications, going outside, as well as anything else that may be necessary! When owners are gone, I recognize it is best for the pets to keep their routines as consistent as possible! I respect any rules clients may have for their pets (e.g. where around they house they are allowed, any dietary limitations, and any necessary precautions to take so that the pets stay safe!)

“I highly recommend Jessica! She was great with Aslan. Aslan can be quirky with new people--but he warmed up so quickly to Jessica (in fact, he was asleep on her feet about 15 minutes into our meet and greet!) Based on the pictures she sent, he looked happy and content on his walks. Jessica was prompt for our meetups and even swung by a second time to pick up a key (when I couldn't find it the day of our meetup). We'll definitely use Jessica again when we're away in the future.”


“As anxious dog parents we had a great experience working with Leah. She was very communicative and worked well with our pups which helped a lot with our anxiety while away (5 total visits). Would definitely book again!”


About: We’ve had pets for over 20 years. One of us used to also pet sit as a side job. Because we are currently traveling on and off, we don’t have our own pets now but love to spend time with all animals. For the past three years, we’ve fostered dogs for a local NH animal shelter. We have experience with animals (our own and fosters) who have required medications and special care. We love to take the dogs for walks, and if they’re able, local hikes. We are home for most of the day. We are currently in between travels and so we can commit all of our time to your furry family member(s)! We can exercise them as little or as much as they require. We live in a condo without a fenced yard but are surrounded by great leashed walking and hiking locations. If you have a fenced yard we would be happy to run your dog in your familiar yard off leash or at a familiar dog park. We have a crate available for pups who prefer or require crating at night or when left alone briefly. We often drive to local fields, parks, rivers and other locations for walks.

“Quite pleased with Sue. I only have a cat but that said , my cat came out to play with Sue swishing Maggie’s’ fishing pole. I knew this because I got many photos and text which makes me so happy when I am away. Will definitely use again.”


About: I have 10 years of experience in the veterinary industry, including time working within boarding facilities and pet care. I am well equipped to handle emergency care as well as any additional veterinary care your pets might need. I am comfortable with all sizes of dogs and love them all, including bully breeds. All cats are welcome too! If you need dogs watched for a long period of time I am able to stay at your home where they are most comfortable. I work from home full time on a flexible schedule therefore I am able to adjust my schedule as needed to accommodate services each day. I take extra care to maintain the safety and wellbeing off all animals in my care. If yards are not fenced in, all dogs will be leashed before leaving the home. Cats will be put into carriers if leaving the home. I am always cautious entering and leaving homes as well.

About: I have taken care of cats and dogs of all ages for the past 15+ years. I have experience with administering medication, special needs pets, and I will treat your pet like family! I am a traveling physician assistant, so I have plenty of time in my schedule to care for your pet! I also offer same day scheduling for last-minute plans, because we've all been there before! I believe pets are most comfortable when they are familiar with their surroundings and have a scheduled routine. I will take care of your pet so they feel most at home.

“Arian was fantastic with our dogs! She was super responsive to my messages and was awesome with Duke and Winni when they met for the first time. She clearly loves her job!”


“Maddy is awesome! Our pups were well cared for and loved her!”


“We cannot say enough positive things about Valerie! We had a few rotations of sitters to cover the several weeks we were gone (family and a neighbor), and Valerie was definitely the most experienced of them all. Our one cat takes a pill daily, and while he takes it just fine for his mom, he wasn't taking it for the sitters. Valerie came up with safe, creative ways to get him to take his pill. She also left wonderfully detailed check-in notes and was very communicative. We'd highly recommend her if you want peace of mind that someone experienced and compassionate is taking care of your fur children!”


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.

“Back home. Indi came right to the door, happy and in good health!”


“Excellent sitter! Our cats are notoriously finicky and even they warmed up to him! He was super accommodating with meet and greets and things like that, and offered up some suggestions to help us with one of our animals who needs pills. Our dog was totally in love with him! Fantastic guy, wish I could give 6 stars”


“Jane took great care of our furr-babies. She sent some pictures, were sure they were exercised/played with and cleaned up an “accident”. Your pets are in good hands with Jane!”

I have trained several dogs,3 cat,& 2 birds all of them became very obedient but loving caring pets that was part of the family..

About: I’ve grown up with animals in the house my whole life. By the time I was 10 I had a dog of my very own, I trained him, took care of him and yes even let him sleep in my bed. He was my absolute best friend, so I understand how stressful it can be leaving your animals with strangers. I want to do everything I can to ease that stress so you and your pets feel as safe as possible. I’m an actor! My only commitments are rehearsals and performances that usually take place at night. My days are all free for your pet needs. I’ve had all kinds of animals from cats to a turtle to a chihuahua and a yellow lab. I understand that every animal has different needs. You tell me what your animal needs and I’ll do everything in my power to do it.

Alissa M.
“I couldn’t recommend Ali more highly! She’s watched my two dogs, one older and easygoing, the other young and mischievous, many times, and they both absolutely adore her. She’s bubbly, responsible, and truly has a natural way with animals. Whether it’s playing in the yard, a nice walk, just hanging out and feeding them, I always feel at ease knowing they’re in her care. Any pup would be lucky to spend time with Ali!”

Olivia F.
“Olivia is amazing with pets!!! I have had Olivia housesit for me several times in the past several years while having dogs in the house. She is loving and cares deeply for animals. What I’ve loved most about her is the connection she seems to have with all animals. I have a, let’s say, more difficult antisocial little dog, but Olivia only saw this as a challenge and made a point of always going out it of her way to make my dog feel that she cared about her. She did so in a quiet patient way, which earned her my dog’s trust. I have never had any issues with Olivia caring for my dogs the many times she took care of them. I’d highly recommend Olivia to take care of your pets!!”

Peter & Sarah P.

Pete and his awesome wife Sara have been foster parents for multiple animals; and have been pet owners for decades. When looking for anyone to take care of any of your pets, you can put all your confidence and trust in Pete.”
