“Kailie did a great job house sitting and watching our two dogs while we were away on vacation. She sent regular updates, the dogs looked happy and she left the house very clean.”


About: Hi, I’m Ayden — your pet’s new favorite friend! 🐾 As a lifelong animal lover, most of my experience comes from caring for my own family pets — from playful puppies and curious kittens to sweet seniors and even a feathered friend. I’ve had the joy of loving animals big and small, couch potato and high energy. We recently said goodbye to our special needs dog after 8 amazing years together. I live with my wife and our 3 fur babies in a quiet neighborhood with a large (unfenced) backyard that’s perfect for safe, supervised play. I also do all my own grooming and love keeping pets looking and feeling their best. As a full-time realtor with a flexible schedule, I’m able to give your pets the time and attention they deserve. I’m conveniently located at the borders of New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Vermont, so I’m happy to serve pet parents across all three states! Whether your companion needs a walk, some company, or overnight care, I treat every pet like my own family. Let’s connect — I’d love to meet you and your furry friend! I am a realtor so I make my own schedule! Fitting in pet sitting will be absolutely no issue, and I am able to accommodate any existing routine your pet might have. Care for your pets will be based off their individual needs, as well as yours! In my home, my dogs are always crate trained for their safety and the safety of other pets in the home. Outside time will be on-leash until trust is built.

“Kate was a wonderful dog and house sitter! Our two dogs were better off then when we left as Kate did some training with them. They took lots of walks and seemed very happy and healthy. The house was great as well.”


“Stacie took great care of our three dogs! She was also tidy while staying in our home, and was a great communicator. We wouldn’t hesitate to have her watch the pups again, and would highly recommend her services.”



“There aren’t enough good things to say about Danielle! From start to finish she was a super professional, and it’s very clear that she is a true dog lover. My wife is really anxious about leaving our dog with anyone, even family, but from day one with Danielle she was so detail oriented, asked the right questions, and sent so many great updates, that even a nervous dog mom felt 100% confident. Honestly, I think Finley had a better time with Danielle than he usually has with us! Not only was our buddy in great hands, but the house was spotless when we returned. We hope to hire Danielle many times again in the future!”


“Hayley is AMAZING!! One of my cats is very social and the other is shy. She got BOTH of them playing, brushed them, and made sure they knew they were loved on top of the bare minimum of feeding them and giving my old lady her meds. She even checked to make sure my hamster was still breathing while I was away since it was always during my hamster’s sleep time that she was there. Highly recommend. Will be using again if I ever am going away and she is available”

“Emily immediately connected with Frankie, kept him calm and happy in a new setting (we were traveling for a wedding). I’d hire her again in a heartbeat when I’m next in the area. She even gave him an insulin shot which she’d never done before! Top notch sitter.”


“Deanna is absolutely wonderful! She has such a warm, calm energy which is an ideal for animal care. I never have to worry when I leave my dog as she is very equipped to deal with anything that may arise. My dog becomes very relaxed in her care. I will continue to schedule house sitting with Deanna moving forward without a doubt.”


About: Hiya! My names Elias. I offer my services to pet sit and take care of your dogs, cats, fish, snakes, you name it. All I’d need is what feeding, walking, and interactive guidelines you have and I’ll be sure to meet them! I have had cats and dogs my whole life, currently 2 cats and 2 dogs that live with my parents while I’m in school, and have worked both with a diabetic cat as well as disabled cats at a shelter back in highschool. I’ve also house/pet sat for family in recent years. Currently I am a full time college student with some days less packed than others, so im happy to work on setting up times and dates that work best for you! 47 acres of woods, if dog has poor recall a leash will be kept on to avoid getting loose or lost. In own and clients home, dietary needs and feeding times will be stuck to as to ensure that your furry friend is as comfortable as possible. I also have a car, so traveling to your home is no issue for me. Happy to take dog on walks wherever client feels comfortable having me do so of course.

About: I have had dogs for all of my life. Through the years I have had a Great Dane, a Doberman, and several mixed-breed dogs. I understand the unique needs of different breeds and am comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine as I work from home, managing multiple online jobs. This allows me to be flexible and available throughout the day to give your pet attention, exercise, and any care they need, ensuring they feel comfortable and well-cared for while you're away. I live in a somewhat secluded area, which makes it easy to take dogs outside for walks or playtime, either on-leash or off-leash, depending on their comfort level and training. My home has plenty of space for dogs to play indoors, so they can stay active and entertained no matter the weather. I prioritize a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment for pets, both inside and outside.

“Amelia was an amazing sitter! Very respectful and a pleasure to host in our home ! With it even being thanksgiving she was more than happy to take care of our furry family while we were away! we will definitely book with her again. You won’t be disappointed.”


“Jacquelyn was absolutely amazing with our 1.5 year old lab, Ruthie! It was our first time leaving her with someone new and it was so amazing to work with someone so responsive, assuring, trustworthy, and responsible. Ruthie loved her! We will absolutely be using Jacquelyn again and highly recommend!”


“Hayley recently cared for our new dog and 2 elderly cats. We were concerned as our pet family is still in the midst of learning to live with each other and we did not know if anything might go wrong. Instead everything went perfectly, in a great part to her skill and sensitivity to animal behavior. Hayley was gentle and loving with all of them. She gave individual attention to each and as such created a place where each pet felt cared for in special ways. Within an hour of our departure she sent us a video of our peaceable kingdom which went far to put our worried minds at ease. Later she sent additional photos depicting how our animal companions were all relaxed and clearly not stressed in any way. We could not have asked for a better person and we will seek her competent and compassionate pet care in the future. Thank you Hayley!”


About: I’ve had pets my whole life, always including dogs and cats. Since moving out on my own I miss spending time with them regularly and I’d love to help out with your pets! I live with bunnies and love to play with them and also regularly feed and clean them. I miss having dogs and cats and would love to make some new pet friends! I have a fenced in yard that can be used for easily taking care of dogs outdoors. I have space to board dogs as is needed!

“Brandy was fantastic! My dog is not easy due to anxiety and fear (she is a rescue). Elly didn't take that long to warm up and once she did they were able to stick to her regular schedule. Brandy was understanding and compassionate to where Elly was emotionally. She took her for great walks and played with her. Brandy sent pictures and lots of updates. Also Brandy was respectful of our house and left it as she found it. I would highly recommend her to anyone and will definitely ask her back. Thank you!”



“Molley was awesome and took great care of my dogs! She sent pictures all throughout her stay so I could see them and see how happy they were! I would highly recommend Molley and will use her next time for sure!”

Ayden H.
“Ayden is the absolute best! His passion for animals shows through in the way that he connects with and cares for my two Rottweilers. He won over my puppy during her “stranger danger” phase, and now she is pretty much obsessed with him. When she had orthopedic surgery, he was attentive to her needs and made sure she was comfortable. He was so gentle with her during bathroom breaks and playtime. My dogs are always excited to see him, and I’m pretty sure they prefer his presence to mine. Ayden is responsible, reliable, trustworthy, and Na’vi & Neytiri approved.”
