“Janelle and Bob took very good care of Maggie. She looked happy and well cared for when we picked her up. She loved running around in their fenced in yard. We will definitely trust them with Maggie again. Highly recommend.”
“Heather and her family were great. Super responsive, and flexible with our last minute changes. Loved getting picture updates to see my pups were doing well. Our babies came home satisfied and tired!”
“Suzanne was a great sitter to our 6 month old puppy. She sent us updated pictures and information on how are dog was doing. Our dog loved staying with her and got along with her dog Koda and cat. Our dog got daily walks, play time, and Suzanne treated our dog like her own.”
“I would give Lynda 50 stars if I could. When I went to pick up my pup Maggie from Lynda at days end, I could tell she had a nice day. She was not stressed out, she was even relaxed after the day's thunderstorm and I know she always enjoys spending time with other friendly dogs. Lynda emailed and texted me throughout the day with updates on how Maggie was doing so I knew she was safe and comfortable. Lynda took time to talk to me on the morning I brought Maggie to stay with her and she made sure she had all information on her so that she could care for her well. I was extremely pleased.”
“Katie has been watching Daisy for several years for us in the summer, we went to CO over Christmas and booked with Katie. This time Katie also sat our cat. My animals come home happy, clean and feed. Being able to count on someone to care for my babies is so important to me, my husband and I feel like we are leaving them with family.”
“Once again Jaxon had a great visit with Alina and her family. He really loves the comforts of home! Alina’s home is conveniently located, allowing us to enjoy quick ski trips and hikes in the White Mountains. Jaxon looks forward to these trips as much as we do!”
“Kiana was truly amazing. I had a sudden family emergency that required me to go out of state. She went so far above and beyond during that time, while having no obligation to do so. From the beginning of the cats stay with Kiana, she had been so incredibly flexible, she agreed to watch them with only two days notice, and due to the situation evolving and becoming unpredictable, she was more than happy to allow me to extend their stay. She was the direct cause of so much stress relief due to knowing the cats were safe, and well taken care of. 5/5 human. As for her actual care of the kitties she again went well above and beyond anything anyone might think is going the extra mile. The cats were given the space needed to become comfortable and very quickly, and happily adapted to the new routine. I received frequent pictures and videos, she was very communicative, and because of her vigilance we were able to create a plan of action for one of the kitties who started throwing up more frequently than normal. She even went out and bought higher quality food for the cats, and implemented a structured feeing strategy so we could better assess the puking, which I doubt was an easy task since they both free fed before they were boarded. She kept me up to date at all times and provided regular, detailed updates. 5/5 for animal care as well. She is the best sitter/boarder I have ever had any experience with, by exponents, it’s not even close. Her service was head, and shoulders above anyone I’ve personally used before and far better than anything I’ve heard about other boarders. Choosing Kiana to care for your pets should be an insanely easy decision for anyone who wants their animals taken care of at the highest level of care, and wants someone that is just a straight up good human as well.”
“I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience! From the moment I met Hannah and her husband, it was clear they have a true love for animals. Hannah is reliable, and went above and beyond in taking care of my dog, Reggie. Throughout the multiple times they watched my dog, they kept me updated with pictures and messages, which made me feel at ease.”
“Andrea and her husband took such great care of our lab! From the daily updates and pictures, we could tell that Penny was comfortable and happy. Andrea is an excellent communicator and is very flexible. We will certainly look to book with her again in the future. Thank you both (and Khloe & Cholo!) for taking such great care of our girl!”
“Faustine took our kids on with fairly short notice and one of our furry children is a little difficult when it comes to meeting new people. She handled it with grace and I think may have actually managed to convince our child that she wasn't so bad. Impressive! Will definitely be reaching out in the future if we need a sitter and Faustine is still at it. ❤️”
“Kim was wonderful and went above and beyond to make Ronin and Winnie comfortable. They had a great stay. She sent pictures and updates frequently. I highly recommend Kim!”
“I recently boarded my dog with Daria for the first time, and I was a bit nervous since it was my dog's first experience staying in a stranger's house. However, Daria was amazing! She made my dog feel comfortable and at ease right away. The updates and pictures she sent showed how well my dog was adapting and enjoying the stay. Her kindness and attention to detail made all the difference. I highly recommend Daria for anyone needing a reliable and caring dog sitter, especially for first-timers!”
“Heather was very quick to respond when I was looking for a dog sitter. She is very responsive and always kept me updated! My dog had a little upset stomach and she did give him some pumpkin puree :) I would definitely rebook with Heather and highly recommend!!”
“Nataliya sent pictures quite often, and Penny seemed part of the family. She had plenty of outdoor time, and seemed to get along great with the other couple dogs. Night time looked just like home, with Penny snuggling on the couch with family. Thank you Nataliya for taking such great care of our little lady ❤”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better caregiver for Riggs than Ric! He was so kind and loving towards our old dog. He had him outside a ton, gave him great walks, followed our specific food instructions perfectly, and just genuinely obviously cared about Riggs being safe and comfortable. He was also super communicative during Riggs’ whole stay, and flexible with drop off and pick up times. I highly recommend Ric!”
About: 🔆Hi! You can call me Jordan! I’m a lifelong animal lover with 12 years of hands-on experience caring for both 🐶 and 🐱 I raised my own rescued dog and cat from just 1 month old and they’re now happy, healthy seniors — so I truly understand the patience, consistency, and love pets need at every stage of life. They’ve moved with me through five cities and three countries. I’ve never given up on them through any stage of my life. 👩🍳 I enjoy cooking nutritious and balanced meals for animals (sometimes for myself ) I love all animals and will learn more knowledge if you need cares for all kinds of pets (chickens, ducks, birds, pigs, etc) 💻 I have been working from home for over 6 years so I will be available everyday! Do not hesitate to contact me on any holidays. Available 7 days a week including all holidays🫡 I will strictly follow all instructions and offer detailed services for them. I will use all the pets knowledge I learnt from books and internet
“Nicole is such a lovely person and we’re so glad to have found her! She took good care of our weirdo husky and he came home tired, which is no small feat! We can’t recommend her enough and will definitely reach out to Nicole again when we need doggy coverage in the future.”
“Excellent and reliable. I got stuck in another state for an extra day due to a flight cancellation, and she was so helpful with watching my dog extra and flexible with a last minute change in plans. Used her services multiple times and always satisfied!”

About: I’ve had cats my whole life and have experience caring for cats of all ages, from playful kittens to senior cats. I understand that every cat has unique needs and personalities, and I’m comfortable providing everything from feeding and litter box care to playtime, cuddles, and administering lots of patience and love to help them feel comfortable while you’re away.
“Liz is fantastic! she has been incredibly patient with my shy kitty. it’s obvious by her care and attention that she knows and loves animals. she is trustworthy, considerate, and communicative. She is my go to person for drop in visits.”
“Kate was wonderful with my pets. She really put in the effort to spend extra time playing with them, keeping them happy, and sending me updates with pics. They were well taken care of. Kate was very professional and reliable. I recommend Kate to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“Betsy was a HUGE help to us while we were away on vacation!! She made drop-in visits to check on our fur baby, and we couldn't have felt more at ease! Our dog is very skittish around strangers, but Betsy was able to put her right at ease. Our dog is rather picky and won't eat very well unless some is there. Betsy accommodated this need and sat with her while she ate each day. She also sent us picture and video updates throughout the time we were away to let us know our baby was doing great! We couldn't have asked for anyone better to help take care of our dog, and we sure hope Betsy is available for our future needs since she helped us SO much!”
“This is the second time Jessica has catsat for Woody during a vacation and it was another fantastic experience for all involved. She is very reliable and sends great pictures every time she visits along with helpful updates. She even brought in my packages from the deck. Highly recommended again!”
About: I am a very detail oriented individual who has loved raised animals since I was a child. I have experience with different types of dogs and personalities including rescues and spicy personalities. I myself own 3 dogs. 2 rescues and a French Bulldog. I consider myself someone who can easily gain trust with nervous or territorial dogs. I also have a lot of experience cats as well. I really like to listen to what the animal requires to give the best care for your fur babies. Currently, I work a full-time job 7-3:30pm. I am looking to do nights and weekends with the goal of going full-time. Currently weekends and last minute walks during the weekdays after 4:00 will work best. First and foremost my animals are my babies and I feel the same way about yours! I like to make sure that anyone whose animal I care for feels comfortable and all questions have been asked prior to care. If possible, I like to meet the dogs and owners ahead of time which allows the owners to see our interactions together to make sure it is a great fit. I will send photos and updates while giving reassurance to those who worry when not at home. My animals are my babies and yours will be too during care.
About: I have been taking care of neighbor’s and friends’ dogs during vacations since I was 14. This includes walking, feeding, and playing with them on a set or flexible schedule. I work part-time during weekdays and the majority of the weekend. I have time to manage work and taking care of dogs on my days off. I have always loved animals and wanted to take care of them since I was a kid. I have a very friendly and old dog of my own, who I’ve taken care of constantly, especially through my gap year.
About: My love for animals started at a really young age and it only grew from there. I grew up with all different breeds from shitzus to Mastiffs each hold a special place in my heart. At 16 I started volunteering at a rescue. There I tended and cared for all different animals from horses and goats to cats and dogs. I’ve cared for many animals at all different life stages from newborn puppies, kittens, and kids to senior pets all the way up until their last day. I have 8 years experience not only with rescue dogs but ones with high anxiety, as I even have one of my own. I am currently a Veterinary assistant and work about 40 hours a week. I have 5 years worth of veterinary knowledge and can meet your pet where they are at. I also have a lot of experience with cats from young to senior to special needs to silly I will give them the care they need. Whether they need medication, someone to play with or someone to just sit with them I will be there for them. I currently have 3 dogs and 1 cat all at different life stages. My pets are my world and I will do anything for them. I will care for your pet as I would my own. I will ensure their safety, health and wellbeing while giving them all the love they need and deserve.
About: I’ve had a cat my whole life- life just wouldn’t be complete without them! I am very familiar with their mannerisms, although like us, I know they each have their own personalities! Love spending time playing and caring for these mischievous bundles of love.
About: I’ve been around cats for most of my life and have experience caring for friends’ cats while they’re away. I’m also a proud auntie to several beloved “nephew and niece” cats who hold a special place in my heart. I love the unique personalities that cats have and understand that each one has different needs and preferences. Whether a cat is playful and social or more independent and reserved, I’m happy to provide the care, attention, and routine that helps them feel safe, comfortable, and secure while their owners are away.

About: I have had a dog at least 20 years. We occasionally have a Labrador a week at a time, he has full run of the house. I do not work, so I am home most of the time. I do local Arts Markets, but those aren't long days. A dog would get lots of attention. I have a fenced in back yard that has plenty of room for playing. The house is one floor, which would be easier on older dogs.
“Kim came to pick Numbers up from my wedding and helped her stay still in photos. I was thrilled to send the dog with her because I knew she would be safe and well cared for. When we came to pick her up the next morning was happy and even a little tired from playing.”
“Katie did great with my German shepherd puppy! She was super flexible and willing to work with my odd work hours. My pup came home completely worn out! Would definitely use her again!”
“Basil had a great time with Heather and her family. We got updates throughout the day and she came home happy and tuckered out. Looking forward to sending her back again!”
About: 🐾 Hi! I’m a mom to a wonderful 4 year old and currently work as a server. I’m looking to spend more of my free time caring for pets because animals have always been a huge part of my life! 🐾 I’ve been around animals almost my entire life, including dogs, cats, birds, ferrets, guinea pigs (I cared for 9 rescue guinea pigs for nearly 5 years), and even a chameleon for about 5 years. 🐾 I don’t currently have pets of my own, so becoming a pet sitter is the perfect way to spend time with animals while helping families who need reliable care. 🐾 I understand how stressful it can be to leave your pet with someone new. Your trust is something I take seriously, and I’ll treat your pet with the same love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while giving you complete peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! 🐾✨ I have Monday-Wednesday off, varying things going on during those three days so availability will vary! Fridays I’m available anytime after 4! Saturdays & Sundays while I’m at work I have my mom and best friend on stand by to come check in and give potty breaks to any pets in my care! Although I don’t have a fenced in yard, there are plenty of parks around for exploring and play time, as well as some yard space just right outside my home if you don’t feel comfortable with your pup being brought elsewhere! My place isn’t too big but my home is their’s for as long as they’re here! I can give baths if needed, walks, snuggles, and playtime!
About: Hi! My name is Steve I’ve owned dogs my whole life and absolutely adore them. My current best friend is a adopted lab-mix named Dory. She gets along great with all dogs. I’ve also owned Westies and a Sheltie for a combined experience of about 25 years of caring for dogs. I have a fenced in yard and provide potty breaks every two hours. I can administer any medication your dog needs. I’m sure your dog would love to join us. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! I work from home five days a week so I can care for you pet during work days from 6am to 7pm. I walk the dogs during lunch time for 30min. I care for pets by making sure they can go out as often as needed and take them for a daily 30min walk. I can administer non-injectable medicine as needed too.
“Becky is as close to perfect as one can get. She is thoughtful, caring, happy and reliable. Seriously do not know what we’d do without her to care for our very shy doggie - who can get into trouble now and then and she goes out of her way to help when we need, Thank you Becky 💛💛💛 Nothing but respect!”
“Communicating with Suzanne was prompt and easy. Our dog had a meet and greet Saturday, he was very comfortable there. We had a day at the house and all was great. We will be scheduling overnights next.”
About: Hi! My name is Charlotte. My boyfriend, our blue heeler pup and I just moved from Dover to Chichester. We decided it was time to upgrade Kota from a condo to a big yard. Safe to say, she loves it. Our house is located on about an acre, but far away from any main roads. We have no traffic on our cul-de-sac making it the perfect area for our girl to go outside and play. My schedule rotates and I am typically working a hybrid schedule. For the days that I am home, I am looking to watch a few pups to give other dog parents affordable pricing, but also give Kota and opportunity to play. When I go into the office, Kota goes to a doggy daycare more towards Dover. The socialization is amazing for her. So we want to give other pups the same opportunity. Feel free to message me with any questions about our house, Kota, myself or anything else. Can’t wait to meet your fur baby! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to be fully present and attentive to the pets I care for throughout the day. Since my Blue Heeler is still a puppy, I’m already used to planning my day around potty breaks, playtime, walks, and training sessions—so adding another furry friend into the mix is something I’m well prepared for. Your pet will get plenty of love, attention, and care, no matter the time of day! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my goal is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In my home: I offer a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for play, rest, and attention. I follow each pet’s routine closely—mealtimes, walks, medication if needed, and play—so they feel right at home. I make sure they get plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and of course, cuddles and affection! In a client’s home: I’m respectful of your space and your pet’s usual routine. I maintain consistency with feeding schedules, walk times, and any specific care instructions you provide. I make sure your pet feels secure in their familiar environment, and I keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can feel at ease while you're away.
“My 2 dogs had a meet & greet with Nicole before spending the day at her home. There was a nice fenced in area and other dogs to play with. When I dropped them off for the day, they didn't even look back. She was kind enough to send photos during the day and let me know they were doing fine. I picked them up that evening - they were happy and tired!”
About: I’ve owned and worked with dogs my whole life. I am the owner of a grooming salon and have worked in dog daycares as well as an animal hospital. We will treat your pups like our own! 🥰 We like to stick with what they are used to at home. Sleep on the bed? No prob! Snuggle on the couch? You got it! But if you have rules you are working on we are happy to help with those too. We have a large fenced in yard but the snow is high right now. So to be safe we are only taking dogs under 30 lbs. I have always specialized in senior dog care so if you have e an older buddy they are in good hands! ♥️Can’t wait to meet your pups! Also, we have 2 small dogs so yours must be ok with other pups. My husband and I both work from home so it’s easy for us to give the pups attention and care all day. Together we have plenty of time for walks, play, and snuggles! I have a large fenced in yard, but if you prefer walks that’s totally doable. I also have a Chinese crested mix and a Schnoodle who are very used to new dogs in the home. We also have baby chicks in the house until spring but they are in enclosures. In case your pup has a high prey drive, they can be moved to a safer area. 😆
“Stephen and Shirley were very welcoming to Enzo and I when we arrived. I checked on while we were gone and they said he was having a good time and well behaved. I was late to pick him up but Stephen said there was no rush, which was great to hear. I will definitely use them in the future if we need daycare! I recommend them fully.”
About: During the day, I am a full time homemaker. I can provide drop ins or boarding nearly any day during the week and also last minute. My son desires to earn spending cash. He's very responsible and will be supervised by me on all walks. He is looking to find 1-3 local families to Newburyport that he could come in the afterschool hours for walking, playing, feeding, etc. He is also available for weekends, puppy sitting/training, and energetic play time such as throwing a ball, going for runs, or long walks around the neighborhood. We have 1 (friendly) cat at home who has been around dogs in the past. She mainly just avoids them. We also have 2 (caged) rats that stay caged at all times. I’m currently working part time so I am very free to walk dogs and take care of cats along with both at once. All animals are welcome I have cameras and fences all around my yard I also have very nice neighbors who have fences and will always tell me if I’m missing a dog lol
“Great experience with Karen! Daisy has done two days of day care with Karen and each one has been wonderful. Daisy played with other dogs and was happy and relaxed each time we picked her up. Karen clearly loves dogs and knows how to look after them. Will definitely ask to book again!”
“This was the first time I used a dog sitting app, and the experience that my pup and I had was excellent! Kimberlie was very attentive to my dog's needs and even sent me pictures throughout the day. I have every intention of rebooking with Kimberlie again and highly recommend her and this service to anyone looking to place their pet in a safe and loving environment. Thank you, Kimberlie!”
“She had the flexible schedule we needed, since we weren’t sure on what time frame we needed her for! Our dog loved her on first sight and seemed comfortable there. We were puzzled that she used a photo of our dog from a previous card of another sitter. But did get one current photo. Thank you!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. I currently have two German Shepherds that I’ve raised and trained since they were puppies, so I understand the patience, consistency, and love that goes into caring for dogs. I also have a horse that I’ve had the pleasure of caring for for the past 23 years, and I’ve spent most of my life working in a barn, giving me experience with animals of all sizes and personalities. Along the way, I’ve also had the joy of caring for cats, too! Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or just wants some extra attention and cuddles, I’ll care for them like they’re one of my own. I currently work from home full time as a short term disability claims manager and have a flexible schedule. I take my own personal dogs on walks every morning I live on 5 acres and have gps collars for my dogs so I know where they are all the time, normally I leave them outside to play while I am working and I keep an eye on them.
“Katie has watched my pup in the past and was phenomenal! Very caring and went above and beyond to meet his needs. I recently had a last minute boarding cancellation that put us in a pickle, as we would have to be gone the entire day for a funeral. Katie was booked for boarding but was able fit him in for a walk despite being last minute. I am so grateful, as I knew he would be excited to see her, and I wouldn’t have to miss part of the service to travel back. Sincerely grateful and beyond satisfied with her care.”
“Courtney was wonderful! She was prompt and communicative. She was very considerate of my requests including Blue's hurt toe- so she took Blue on a shorter gentle walk and then gave her some fun time in the yard. I will definitely reach out to Courtney again!”
“Leilani was very understanding when we had to cancel our bookings for the rest of the week due to family illness. She was still willing to come over and walk our puppy Yamper for us. She's so good with her and we truly appreciate her. I strongly recommend anyone to book with Rover and Leilani.”
“I have an energetic 90lb shepherd mix, and Garrett does an amazing job tiring her out on walks! He is friendly, punctual and his love for dogs is obvious. I would highly recommend him as your next dog walker.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have experience providing overnight pet and house sitting for stays ranging from a week to 10 days at a time. I’ve also helped family and friends with basic dog training and behavior support. As a lifelong animal lover, I genuinely enjoy the companionship dogs bring and love keeping them active, engaged, and happy through walks, outdoor adventures, hikes, playtime, and plenty of affection. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. As a small business owner with a flexible schedule and a few part-time commitments, I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, cat care, feeding, and house sitting, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. While I occasionally need to step away for client appointments, I am typically gone for no more than 4–5 hours at a time and always make sure pets receive timely meals, potty breaks, exercise, and attention. I appreciate advance notice whenever possible so I can plan accordingly, though I may be able to accommodate same-day requests depending on availability. When caring for pets, I like to take time to get to know each animal and build trust at their own pace. I believe every pet has a unique personality, so I try to follow their lead and create a calm, comfortable environment where they feel safe and secure. Depending on the pet’s needs and temperament, I provide enrichment through playtime, walks, outdoor time, and plenty of affection. Whether a pet is energetic and social or more reserved and independent, my goal is always the same: to ensure they feel cared for, content, and as comfortable as possible while their owner is away.
About: I've been caring for dogs, mine and other people's, since I was about 12. I have owned 2 wonderful Labs and have cared for everything from Chihuahuas to Dobermans. I have experience dealing with behavioral issues and teaching puppies their manners, and everything in between. I have a calm, assertive training style, but I know the importance of a nice fetch and cuddle too! I am happy to adapt to any special needs or medical issues your dog might have, and can administer whatever medication they need. I'd love to meet your pup and go for a nice walk! My schedule is very flexible! I'm new to NH so I'm looking to add some new dog friends to my life. With a couple days notice I can accommodate most requests! Safety is the #1 priority for both me and your pets. Caring for pets on their home turf helps to keep them comfortable and secure. On walks in the neighborhood I focus on leash manners and getting your dog's brain to work so they're ready for a nap when we're done.

“Her first time out with my girl. It was very hot that day, and her attention and concerns with Marlowe becoming over heated was much appreciated! She's very professional and prompt with great communication!”
“Kate is amazing, she takes great care of my golden retriever and 2 maine coon cats. Kate comes once a week and takes my golden on a walk, he looks forward to seeing her every week, Kate is always right on time and leaves me complete updates followed up with pictures. I appreciate having someone that I can trust in my home with my fur-babies.”
About: I have owned animals all my life and have plenty of enrichment activities- snuffle matts, snuffle balls, puzzle toys, regular toys, and a big yard to play in! I love animals and this is currently a full time job for me being a pet sitter and owner. I make my dog my life and we go for walks and adventures daily. I make a schedule for my own dog, which includes puzzle toys for breakfast, an afternoon walk or adventure, snuffle mats and balls for later, and plenty of cuddles throughout the day!
About: I have spent lots of time with a family dog and have been a sitter for several breeds over the years, often through friends and family. I am always over the moon to meet and spoil (to the owners comfort) a new furry freind! I am currently a graduate student which allows me the flexibility to schedule quality walks and play time with your pups! I typically work from home 50% of the work week, so getting out for a walk in between computational work is a win win! As a dog walker I will make sure your pup has a positive high quality walking experience. If I am sitting, I will ensure all fur babies get the level attention and care they need to feel safe and happy.
About: I am a certified veterinary technician with CPR/BLS certification also. Dog walking, pet care and extra medical services like medication administration available! Reach out with any questions!

Love pets of all ages and species I am comfortable with dog walking, medication administration, nail trims on dogs and cats, mid day potty breaks/check ins. I am also confident with pets with medical conditions who may need extra care such as diabetics
About: When I’m not boarding, walking, or doing doggy daycare I’m hanging out with my kiddos. Occasionally I also foster puppies at 8 weeks old and start the potty training process and prepare them to go to their furever home. Does your dogs like to sleep on the couch? Perfect! I do too! Do they prefer to sleep in bed with you at night? Not a problem, come on in! Does your dog need daily walks? You got it! I live on a quiet road off the beaten path. I tend to treat all animals with the respect and love I give my children and I teach my children the same morals. Pets aren’t just pets in my eyes, each dog has needs they need to have met and it’s my job to make that happen when they are in my care. During my high school years I spent my time after school volunteering at the local veterinary clinic assisting the vet techs preform their daily tasks. Growing up I worked on a dairy farm. I know how to administer medications, potty train, bathe, and trim nails. I’m a stay at home mom during the week so I am always home to give my furbabies all the love and attention they want. When I’m home and need to leave your pups will tag along with me through my daily routine and hangout with me. Or if they’d prefer to relax at home and have free range they can! I try to keep a potty and feeding schedule the same as when they are with you. I live in a lake house so if your pups love to swim then this is the place to be! I also have a decent size yard (unfenced) for playing. My two dogs will keep your furbaby company in a doggy sense. My children will also play with your babies so they will definitely have a lot of attention. Inside my house is baby proof so it is also dog proof. Do you want to FaceTime your dog while they are with me? Not a problem, call whenever. I will send pictures and updates throughout the day for you so you know they are okay. Your pets truly are treated like family in my care.
About: I have grown up with dogs and cats in my house and now have my own kitty Arnold 🐈 I’ve been pet sitting for my family for years and hope I can pet sit for you too! I just moved to the area as I am studying for my Masters Degree! I am currently working part time and attending a Masters Program online so my schedule is very flexible! I am in the lakes region most weekends as well. In my free time I do a lot of walking so taking dogs for long walks is not a problem! I have a car that can fit atleast two XL dogs in the back. My cat has had health issues so I can administer medication for both cats and dogs

“Heather and her family were great. Super responsive, and flexible with our last minute changes. Loved getting picture updates to see my pups were doing well. Our babies came home satisfied and tired!”
“Suzanne was a great sitter to our 6 month old puppy. She sent us updated pictures and information on how are dog was doing. Our dog loved staying with her and got along with her dog Koda and cat. Our dog got daily walks, play time, and Suzanne treated our dog like her own.”
“Katie has been watching Daisy for several years for us in the summer, we went to CO over Christmas and booked with Katie. This time Katie also sat our cat. My animals come home happy, clean and feed. Being able to count on someone to care for my babies is so important to me, my husband and I feel like we are leaving them with family.”
“Once again Jaxon had a great visit with Alina and her family. He really loves the comforts of home! Alina’s home is conveniently located, allowing us to enjoy quick ski trips and hikes in the White Mountains. Jaxon looks forward to these trips as much as we do!”
“Kiana was truly amazing. I had a sudden family emergency that required me to go out of state. She went so far above and beyond during that time, while having no obligation to do so. From the beginning of the cats stay with Kiana, she had been so incredibly flexible, she agreed to watch them with only two days notice, and due to the situation evolving and becoming unpredictable, she was more than happy to allow me to extend their stay. She was the direct cause of so much stress relief due to knowing the cats were safe, and well taken care of. 5/5 human. As for her actual care of the kitties she again went well above and beyond anything anyone might think is going the extra mile. The cats were given the space needed to become comfortable and very quickly, and happily adapted to the new routine. I received frequent pictures and videos, she was very communicative, and because of her vigilance we were able to create a plan of action for one of the kitties who started throwing up more frequently than normal. She even went out and bought higher quality food for the cats, and implemented a structured feeing strategy so we could better assess the puking, which I doubt was an easy task since they both free fed before they were boarded. She kept me up to date at all times and provided regular, detailed updates. 5/5 for animal care as well. She is the best sitter/boarder I have ever had any experience with, by exponents, it’s not even close. Her service was head, and shoulders above anyone I’ve personally used before and far better than anything I’ve heard about other boarders. Choosing Kiana to care for your pets should be an insanely easy decision for anyone who wants their animals taken care of at the highest level of care, and wants someone that is just a straight up good human as well.”
“I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience! From the moment I met Hannah and her husband, it was clear they have a true love for animals. Hannah is reliable, and went above and beyond in taking care of my dog, Reggie. Throughout the multiple times they watched my dog, they kept me updated with pictures and messages, which made me feel at ease.”
“Andrea and her husband took such great care of our lab! From the daily updates and pictures, we could tell that Penny was comfortable and happy. Andrea is an excellent communicator and is very flexible. We will certainly look to book with her again in the future. Thank you both (and Khloe & Cholo!) for taking such great care of our girl!”
“Faustine took our kids on with fairly short notice and one of our furry children is a little difficult when it comes to meeting new people. She handled it with grace and I think may have actually managed to convince our child that she wasn't so bad. Impressive! Will definitely be reaching out in the future if we need a sitter and Faustine is still at it. ❤️”
“Kim was wonderful and went above and beyond to make Ronin and Winnie comfortable. They had a great stay. She sent pictures and updates frequently. I highly recommend Kim!”
“Heather was very quick to respond when I was looking for a dog sitter. She is very responsive and always kept me updated! My dog had a little upset stomach and she did give him some pumpkin puree :) I would definitely rebook with Heather and highly recommend!!”
“Nataliya sent pictures quite often, and Penny seemed part of the family. She had plenty of outdoor time, and seemed to get along great with the other couple dogs. Night time looked just like home, with Penny snuggling on the couch with family. Thank you Nataliya for taking such great care of our little lady ❤”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better caregiver for Riggs than Ric! He was so kind and loving towards our old dog. He had him outside a ton, gave him great walks, followed our specific food instructions perfectly, and just genuinely obviously cared about Riggs being safe and comfortable. He was also super communicative during Riggs’ whole stay, and flexible with drop off and pick up times. I highly recommend Ric!”
“Nicole is such a lovely person and we’re so glad to have found her! She took good care of our weirdo husky and he came home tired, which is no small feat! We can’t recommend her enough and will definitely reach out to Nicole again when we need doggy coverage in the future.”
“I had a great experience boarding my dog, Loki, with Noreen! She’s kind, professional, and kept me updated with pictures and messages throughout his stay. Loki had a blast and came home happy and well-cared-for. Noreen truly loves animals, and I felt confident leaving him with her. Highly recommend, and I’ll definitely be booking again!”
“My girl had a spectacular weekend. So much so she didn't want to go home :) I think she fell in love with the kids. I was a bit worried about her raw diet as some people can't handle it. Austin had no issues at all. The updates and pictures were a lovely bonus. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for boarding.”
“Bielka was wonderful! Kaiser loved staying with her! She is very easy to communicate with and very kind! She understood Kaiser’s health issues and took them seriously. Kaiser loved the walks through the woods and the snowy paths!”
“Jennifer is an absolute gem. Our pup had fun playing with her and Jennifer made sure to call both the emergency vet and us when he got into some cupcakes. She was just as worried about his well being as us and kept watch. You can count on her to be responsible and take care of your precious furry family members!”
“Bri was exactly who we were looking for! Our dog Charlie is somewhat anxious and not very social with other dogs so we really didn’t want to leave him in a traditional boarding facility for a week. Bri was happy to take care of Charlie and showed him so much love and attention! She has a clean home and lots of outdoor space and trails for walks. Couldn’t be happier with our experience!”
About: I have been a dog owner since I was 5 and for then past 37 years I have had primarily beagles along with one Vizsla with typically 2 at any given time. Our last beagle Charlie passed away a few months ago and while we would like the freedom having no pet allows us we miss the company and unconditional love they offer us. My wife worked as a vet tech for 10 years so we are comfortable administering meds and I have been pretty successful with training pups (yes even beagles). I work mostly from home and my wife has the summers off from teaching so it fits great unto our routine and it would be a pleasure to have dogs underfoot again. We have crates if dogs feel at home in them but they are welcome in all the rooms downstairs. We live on a long dirt road which is perfect for walks and if it gets too hot we have a cool basement and a pond for them to swim in.
“Kimberlie was fantastic! We left our pup with her for 4 days at the last minute and she was nothing short of amazing in her updates, structure, playtime and overall care she gave to Bernie. I highly recommend her to anyone that is looking for someone to take care of their dog with as much love as they do...Bernie almost did not want to come back with us :) We will definitely be booking with Kimberlie again in the future, thank you!”
