About: Graduated from UNH class 2014 with a Bachelors in Zoology. Proud to have over 20 years of animal care. 15 years of multi pet ownership . ---Raised and trained 8 dogs from puppy to adult. Spent 6 months volunteering at an animal shelter. Have completed Two separate 10 session dog training courses with a certified dog trainer. Have completed online Instructional courses on E-collar training and behavior modification. Have experience handling dogs with behavioral issues/quirks Have cared for pets of family and friends in addition to my own for over 15 years . My family and I currently have two dogs and a lizard, so pet care is part of our daily routine, 24/7 365. My own dogs are walked daily and stimulated through play and training. When we are home as a family, the dogs are out with us enjoying life. When we are out of the house, they are either crated or secured in a room with fresh water. Safety/Security and respecting the animals are my core values. While the animals in my home are cared for like family, they are taught to respect boundaries and work for affection. In my care, pets are leashed unless they are in a secure, fenced area. I take the time to understand each animal is an individual who has unique needs. I cater my approach to each animal based on their specific demeanor.

“Julia has a kind, gentle and fun way with animals. She has worked with a wide variety of animals. Prior to her initial visit, Julia was easy to communicate with regarding my wishes and concerns. During her visit with my 4 year old Portuguese Water Dog, she exceeded my expectations. She has a great attention to details. My dog was all smiles in the pics from her visit and seemed less needy than usual for my attention when I returned home from work that day. I have booked Julia for regular future visits and would highly recommend her to other pet parents!”

About: I have had a cat since I was a very young child and I have been around many cats since then. I love cats and appreciate their beauty, intelligence, and delicacy. I have two years of animal shelter experience much of which was spent working with cats.
“Kim was wonderful! We have an 18 1/2 year old cat and we were anxious about leaving her for 2 nights. Kim sent us updates and photos and clearly Bella felt comfortable with her because when we returned she seemed completely content, no signs of anxiety at all. Everything was clean and just as we had requested be done. Not only that, but a smoke alarm unexpectedly was blaring when she arrived for one of the last visits and she handled the problem perfectly, leaving us a detailed note. We would definitely request her again if we have to be out of town.”
“Nicole offered the most wonderful care for our cat. Her updates and photos were so thorough and reassuring. She went above and beyond to look after Nadja and to keep her company. Exceptionally reliable. We would recommend Nicole very highly!!!”

I’ve decided I want to switch my job and do something I love more which is to be with animals! I have lots of free time coming up and would love to spend it with more dogs!

About: I’ve always had dogs in my life and love spending time with them. I’ve cared for my own pets for years, including raising and training my current dog, who is now four years old. I’m experienced with daily routines like feeding, walks, playtime, administering medications if applicable, and I always treat animals with love and respect. While most of my experience is personal, I bring a reliable and caring approach to every pet as if they were my own! I work from home four days a week, and I am usually local on weekends, so my schedule is flexible. I’m home throughout the day and can provide potty breaks when needed and playtime during lunch hour and in the evenings. My schedule makes it easy to pop by during lunch or evenings to check in, feed, and give some love and attention as needed. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I have a labrador retriever who gets along with other animals and a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play. I keep a close eye on all pets, maintain their usual routines, and make sure they feel comfortable and loved. I prefer to host pets who know basic commands and can respect my dog and home.

About: Hi! I’m Emily, a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet owner. I currently have three cats and one dog, and I’ve grown up with and owned both cats and dogs of all sizes — from tiny Chihuahuas to a challenging 200-pound dog. I’m very comfortable with different temperaments, energy levels, and personalities. I’ve done extensive training with my own dogs, so I understand the importance of safe walks, structure, consistency, and reading an animal’s body language. I’m also an avid hiker, so I’m happy to provide longer walks or more active outings for dogs who enjoy adventure and are safe around other dogs. I’ve also worked with and volunteered for two different animal shelters, which gave me experience caring for a wide range of animals and helped me become comfortable around pets with different needs, backgrounds, and behaviors. Whether your pet needs exercise, patience, playtime, cuddles, or just someone dependable to check in on them, I’ll treat them like one of my own. i currently work as a therapist 8am-245pm. but sometimes i have an open slot. but available for pet support 3 and after as well as on weekends. i have a runner for if a pet needs to be at my home, about an acre, i have a hiking trail 4min from my home. i have 1 dog and 3 cats all very friendly

“Emily was wonderful with our Great Dane! She was prompt, kind and patient with her. She was very in tune with our pups needs during their walks, and was so mindful on the very hot days to take it slow or return for water when needed.

Looking forward to working with Emily again!”

I have a very bubbly personality, and I enjoy staying active. I’m currently working part-time one to two days a week so I have a very open schedule to take dogs on daily walks or sit when they need be. I’ve cared for pets in many different ways from walking to sitting to giving medication and providing comfort when anxious or scared. My dog in particular does not do well around loud noises so needs to be comforted during those times and cared for carefully.
“Jay is amazing! This has been my first round with the dog walker. I am new to town in a very over sensitive helicopter dog, Mom. I cannot express enough how great the career has been for my dog Benji. Jay was more than willing to do a meet and greet with me prior to booking so that I could see if there was a good vibe. There was definitely a good vibe. Trusting and loving my dog in a situation where I can’t be at home is something that I strive for and I definitely found it in Jay! Highly recommended!”

“If I could give more stars, I would! Shatane and her family are truly wonderful people. They treated Ziggy and me with respect and showed Ziggy love and attention every day during his 3-day stay this week. I would definitely recommend Shatane—excellent communication, with plenty of updates, pictures, and videos.”

“Our dog, Nala, had a great stay with Jeremy and Rui. They were very responsive to setting up a meet and greet and even offered a free hour of dog sitting to get her acquainted and comfortable with their home and pets. Nala had a great time and we would be comfortable sending her back again. Thanks again Jeremy and Rui for taking such good care of her.”

About: Graduated from UNH class 2014 with a Bachelors in Zoology. Proud to have over 20 years of animal care. 15 years of multi pet ownership . ---Raised and trained 8 dogs from puppy to adult. Spent 6 months volunteering at an animal shelter. Have completed Two separate 10 session dog training courses with a certified dog trainer. Have completed online Instructional courses on E-collar training and behavior modification. Have experience handling dogs with behavioral issues/quirks Have cared for pets of family and friends in addition to my own for over 15 years . My family and I currently have two dogs and a lizard, so pet care is part of our daily routine, 24/7 365. My own dogs are walked daily and stimulated through play and training. When we are home as a family, the dogs are out with us enjoying life. When we are out of the house, they are either crated or secured in a room with fresh water. Safety/Security and respecting the animals are my core values. While the animals in my home are cared for like family, they are taught to respect boundaries and work for affection. In my care, pets are leashed unless they are in a secure, fenced area. I take the time to understand each animal is an individual who has unique needs. I cater my approach to each animal based on their specific demeanor.
“I had the pleasure of leaving Apollo with Michele, who was nothing short of fantastic! She was incredibly responsive from the start, answering all my questions promptly and putting my mind at ease. Michele is a true professional—she took the time to understand Apollo's needs and made sure he had a comfortable and fun stay with her two adorable dogs. Apollo had an amazing time, and I could tell from the photos and updates that he was well taken care of. As a lovely surprise, Michele even gave Apollo a cute parting gift, which was such a thoughtful touch! I’m so glad I found Michele, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Lora took great care of our dog while we were away. She sent us pictures and gave us frequent updates. It was great knowing our dog was happy and in good hands while we were away on vacation. Would definitely recommend Lora and will use her again in the future!”
“Have you ever been jealous of how much fun your dog seems to be having without you? That's how I felt with every update from Jennifer & Matthew. I could tell that my dog Tulsa was having a good time, just from the get go. I watched him go on a walk with Jennifer and their dog Tater Tot, and could see that he was happily walking with the two of them. He didn't even look back at me when I drove away. Genuinely would love to send Tulsa here again if I ever need boarding services, sounds like Jennifer, Matthew, & crew would be just as happy to have him again.”
“Thank you for being such a great host family for Jack.... Jack is a loving 5½ year old golden retriever that loves people. He doesn't visit other houses very often, & is rarely away from me. Although Jack was a bit nervous, going to a strange house with people he didn't know, this family made him feel at home. Phil went so far as to sleep on the couch in the same room as Jack. I will definitely use this family in the future & highly recommend them if your looking for a loving family for your pup.... Thank you again”
“This was the second time Stephen and Cecilia watched Winnie, and they were just as amazing as the first! They always keep in touch, send plenty of pictures, and make sure Winnie is happy and loved the entire time. She’s actually bored to tears now that she’s back home! I’d absolutely recommend them — not only for the great care they give to Winnie, but also for how accommodating they are with pick-up and drop-off times”
“Katia did a great job with the pups, provided good communication, and pictures. I would recommend her for anyone looking for a caring dogsitter and would trust her to watch our dogs in the future.”
