Personalized care for your dog or cat - Dover
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Dover
“ASHLEY IS AMAZING! she took the best care of my husky, and got her all of the exercise she needs to come home and not be a menace to society. They got to go on so many amazing adventures that she kept me up to date on with pictures AND videos, helping to ease my mind about her first time being boarded. She was also able to let Kalani smell, look and feel beautiful after her little grooming spa session and there’s no way I could thank her enough!”
“Noreen was fantastic as always! Faye has stayed with Noreen multiple times now, and she always comes back an incredibly happy and (thankfully) tired pup. We are always very relieved when we can have Noreen watch Faye because of how well she cares for Faye during her stay.”
“Veska is my new favorite go to person to care for our Gracie! She was awesome providing my family photos and daily updates. Very evident our Gracie became part of her family for her 2 week stay! Highly recommend!!”
“We were in a pinch & had to leave our cat Sam to stay overnight while we went out of town for a funeral & Beth really helped us out last minute! Affordable price, & she sent lots of updates! When I picked up my sweet boy he was very happy. 10/10 recommend Beth!!”
“This is our 2nd time leaving Roxy with Jeanne. Jeanne is very good with dogs and Roxy has a great time with her. We love the text updates with pictures that Jeanne provides. We can tell Roxy has a great time and that helps us enjoy our time away that much more. We will continue to use Jeanne going forward.”
“I feel so comfortable leaving my dog with Janelle and Bob! They are so caring and loving! They have a great set up with a fenced in backyard! I know that my dog is safe and well cared for when I'm away. I would highly recommend them to care for your fur babies!”
“Michelle did an excellent job. She kept me up to date with photos and messages for the 10+ days she was taking care of my dog. I felt totally at ease leaving my dog with her. Would definitely use her again!”
“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.”
“I knew when meeting Mike and his wife that Sasha would be in good hands. When picking her up, Sasha came to the door totally relaxed so I was sure she had been comfortable and not stressed other than getting used to being in a new situation. Very happy and grateful for the experience.”
“Andrea took great care of our beagle, Charlie, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment I met Andrea and her husband Daniel, they gave off such a great vibe — genuinely kind, thoughtful, and clearly dog lovers through and through. Andrea treated Charlie like he was one of her own dogs, Cholo and Khloe, which gave me total peace of mind. She sent multiple photos throughout the day, including shots of Charlie snuggled up in a cozy blanket on the sofa and lounging in Daniel's lap while he watched football. It was obvious he felt safe, comfortable, and completely at home. You can just tell when people truly love dogs, and Andrea and her family absolutely do. Charlie was cared for with so much attention and affection, and we’re incredibly grateful. We wouldn’t hesitate for a second to trust Andrea with Charlie again — highly, highly recommend.”
“Courtney. Is. Great. This was the first time leaving Albie with anyone outside of family so I was pretty nervous. We went over for a meet & greet and I felt good about her right away. She is super warm and kind and her home was the perfect calm, low-key environment for my old guy. She asked a lot of questions and made me feel confident that she was going to take good care of him. Courtney sent the cutest photos while we were away, it was nice to see how relaxed and happy he was. Albie is our *everything* and I am usually pretty anxious about him... I honestly didn't worry about him at all. I wouldn't have minded knowing more about his day-to-day but I didn't want to be "that" pet parent and ask a bunch of questions. I knew he was in great hands though and I'm sure she would have been patient with my helicopter parenting, haha. So, yes, we would absolutely trust Courtney with Albie again. I highly recommend her (and Frito!)”
“I cannot speak more highly of Eric and his sweet family! They kept my dog while I had a week long work event in Boston, and they took fantastic care of her. They sent me regular photos and they promptly answered any nervous mama questions I sent their way. We were worried about her getting spooked by the fireworks over the holiday weekend, and Eric and his fam took lots of precaution to make sure she was safe and happy. The pups that live with them are sweet and they got along great with my dog. I will be booking with them again if we're ever in the area!”
“Karen was great and we hope to hire her again in the future. She was easy to work with, professional, and responsible, and she has an ideal space for dogs with a large outdoor space for them to play.”
“Evan was fantastic once again! Flexible with care and pick ups, very responsive and sent pictures with updates everyday!! Charlie is one tired pup after his vacation to Evan’s!! Highly recommend for your pup”
“Kelly took excellent care of my dog while I was away for the weekend, and she was so communicative and kept me totally up to date. She was also so patient when my pup unfortunately had an upset tummy! Thank you Kelly!”

“Emma was amazing! We had a very last minute medical situation with our cat and she went above and beyond with her check-ins to ease our minds. I would highly recommend her services.”
“Jennifer was so amazing! Her communication was great and gave us small updates everyday on how our kitties were doing. I know she did an amazing job because when we got home from our trip our cats did not immediately need attention. So she definitely made them feel safe and loved. I would 100% book again.”
“Stephanie was wonderful, she made an effort to set time for a check in before the visit even with a last minute booking on my end. It made me comfortable that my kitty Merli was in good hands. She was timely and took great care of Merli. Thank you, Stephanie!”
“Makenzie was great! She kept me updated throughout my trip, took great care of my cat, and made sure to spend time playing with him while I was away. She also shared lots of great photos, which I loved getting. She really helped ease my anxiety about leaving him and gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in good hands!”
“Absolutely incredible sitter! Great communication, tons of pictures, and my cats obviously really liked her which is the biggest plus! I hate leaving my pets for extended periods of time but Marion put me immediately at ease after her first visit. Highly highly recommend for your pets!”
“Kate was very communicative from our first message. She set up a meet and greet with our cat. She has a lovely demeanor. Our cat came up and allowed her to pet her on her first interaction. Daily texts, photos and videos made it clear that our cat was in good hands. I highly recommend Kate for your pet care!”
About: I’ve had a cat in my life since I was born. She was a feisty one with everyone but me. She was my baby that I would do anything for. As she got older, she required more intensive care, such as medication, walking assistance, and food assistance. From taking such intense care of her in her last years, it made me realize animal care is in my future. after her passing I started to do in house cat sitting as it made the cats I was taking care of more relaxed. whether it be a feisty cat or a loving cat, I always treated them the same nevertheless. Every day, I fed them twice a day with treats in between freshwater three times a day, clean the litter box, exercise, and cuddle with them (if they wanted to spend time with me). This regimen seemed to be the best for all different cat personality types. I never want to intrude on their space just to make them comfortable while their family is gone.
“We were in last minute need of a cat sitter and Jason was absolutely amazing. He hung out with our boys with nearly only 2 hours of a heads up, he saved our night! Definitely will use him again”
“Leah is a fabulous sitter! Trust me when I say she goes above and beyond to care for your pets and communicate with you about how they’re doing! My husband and I went out of town to Charleston for a few days, and when our flight got rebooked and we were stuck a day longer, Leah was quick to offer additional care and helped me adjust her schedule through Rover! The kittens love her! I was so pleased to see that she brought out the best in our normally shy kitten, Moana! ✨🙂 I would recommend Leah to watch any of your pets, cat or pup, and I can say with confidence that she will go above and beyond while they’re in her care! 🙂✨”
“We were in a pinch & had to leave our cat Sam to stay overnight while we went out of town for a funeral & Beth really helped us out last minute! Affordable price, & she sent lots of updates! When I picked up my sweet boy he was very happy. 10/10 recommend Beth!!”
“Sarah is the best! She’s very responsive and makes sure to send updates and pictures which I really appreciate while I’m away. She’s watched my cat twice and he can be a little difficult but Sarah has always been great! I’ll definitely book again!!”
“Emerson was great! She showed up on time, and followed instructions to a tea. And had zero problems with my 6 month old Malinois, and other large dog! Even in the pouring rain. Would recommend her for any of your pets needs :)”
“Clarke was very attentive and took care of my kitties great. They are usually shy with new people but seemed to come out of their shell with her and we're comfortable. I would highly recommend Clarke😻”
“Maria was a life saver and was available to watch our dog on short notice. She asked thoughtful questions during our meet and greet to make sure Clarence, our pup, was well understood. Maria left thoughtful comments and communicated consistently throughout her time with Clarence. Her communication and care for our pup put our minds at ease. Clarence was well cared for! We would book Maria again in the future.”

They have an awesome yard for the pups to play together in! I have never had an issue and will continue to use Karen and her husband for the foreseeable future!”
“Ashley was AWESOME! We did a last minute booking and Ashley was very accommodating. We felt very comfortable leaving our Sophie with her. Sophie loved her time with Ashley, the walks and playing with her new friends. Ashley is knowledgeable, professional, and truly cares about all of the dogs. We highly recommend Ashley ... she goes above and beyond making sure that all of the dogs needs are met. Thank you Ashley for making Sophie feel so welcome!”

“Leah was amazing with my puppy! She watched him for the entire day on very short notice while I was working and even dropped him off at my house afterward. She sent lots of pictures throughout the day and was very communicative, responding quickly to messages. I felt completely comfortable knowing my puppy was in great hands. I’m so thankful she was able to accommodate us on such short notice and would absolutely trust her with my puppy again. Highly recommend!”

“We had an excellent experience with our dog sitter, Veska. She took amazing care of Oaits and was gentle, attentive, and highly professional throughout. She made sure to understand what Oatis’ needs were by communicating with us and kept us up to date through out the stay. It was clear she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after, and we felt completely at ease knowing Oaits was in such good hands. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate dog sitter.”
“Mac had a wonderful day with Robert and his pups. He had never been to a dog sitter before so we were a bit anxious about leaving him. We had a meet and greet before the day visit and when Mac got to Bob’s house on the day of the visit, Mac remembered that it was a place with people that he liked. Bob’s updates through the day made us rest easy that Mac was being well cared for. We loved the report card and pictures that we got at the end of the visit. We look forward to our next booking with Bob.”
“Our dog Scotty was so happy to set up. There was great Eric was very knowledgeable about dogs and we felt very comfortable leaving our puppy they are he had a great time!”
“Eric was great from start to finish. My Golendoodles liked him immediately. I got regular updates from them settling in, playtime, and more than what I have expected. Every few hours he would send some photos and some feedback with my dogs cuddled up with them on the couch or playing. I will be asking Eric again when I’m in town visiting my family. I have nothing but good things to say about Eric. Thank you Eric!”

Your dog will not just be taken care of but will feel safe like they're spending time with an old friend. Retired computer nerd and musician available for dog walking and house visits most days of the week. Some dogs are welcome in our home with fenced in yard and 5 y.o. yellow lab Norma for playtime and companionship. My wife and I live in a wooded area in York with a large fenced in back yard. We are both retired and home most of the day to keep an eye on the pups. I am available for long or short visits to your home for dog walks and exercise to suite your needs. I am an avid walker and walk daily. I am fully insured with pet sitting/walking insurance.
“My 8yo dog Wilbur loved her time with Joshua and Rebecca! We haven't needed dog sitting or daycare often, and I am so glad I was able to find Joshua while in town on a work trip. Wilbur made new friends (she can be a loner but loves people), got out on tons of walks and creeks, and even got to ride in the dog van. It can be stressful finding the right dog care when on the road vs. at home with people you know, and I'm glad Wilbur got to spend a few day care days with this family!”
“Our dog was so tired and content by the end of their day with Enzo and Enzo's dog. Adorable picture of them playing/hanging out outside. Communication was super easy and prompt, we felt really comfortable with our pup being in their care, and would recommend them to watch anybody's fur baby!!”
“This was Nova's third visit to Martha and as always it couldn't have been better. They explored and went for many walks and also she did a fabulous job bathing Nova and brushing her out. We look forward to seeing Martha again in a few weeks. I would highly recommend her services.”
“Karen was kind and very easy going! Our dog is very nervous and he was calm and relaxed by the time we returned. Karen and her partner were very nice. She made our Christmas Eve dinner possible. Highly recommend!”
“FROM OLIVER'S POINT OF VIEW IT WAS PERFECT. ANN WAS KIND ENOUGH TO EMAIL A PHOTO OF HER DOG AND OUR DOG RELAXING IN HER HOUSE. WE MET THE DAY BEFORE ON THE BEACH IN HAMPTON TO INTRODUCE THE DOGS. I'M MOST GRATEFUL TO ANN, HER HUSBAND, AND ROVER FOR MAKING IT POSSIBLE FOR US TO ATTEND OUR GRANDSON'S WEDDING.”
“Janice is super sweet, and very attentive to all of my pups needs. She pays attention to detail, wants to be consistent with expectations, and really cares for dogs. She even washed out his puzzle feeding bowl! I will definitely contact Janice in the future for care.”

“Jennifer was very attentive to Leia which is exactly what she needs after moving to a new area. I feel so relieved that I now know someone that, when I have a long work day, can stop in and take care of my pup with a walk and a hug halfway through the day. Thank you!!”
“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!”
“Evan showed up at the meet and greet promptly+ was relaxed + calm for my boy who needed a last minute walk for the following day. He followed my border terrier's routine + gave me communication before, during, and after!”

I have fed, bathed, supervised, administered medication, etc. to all ages and sizes of dogs and cats at my workplace. I have 4-5 days available weekly to care for your fur babies! I am willing to do walks, drop ins and occasional boarding at your home. I am unable to host pets in my own home with my own pup but would be happy to do so at yours. I am trustworthy, reliable, responsible and have a special place in my heart for all animals!

“Owen came to walk our big Shepsky while we were out of town. My dog loved him! Owen was reliable, friendly, and clearly really good with dogs. We will definitely use him again in the future! Thank you from Timber and us!”
About: Since I was a young girl I was always the family remember in charge of making sure our pets were fed, entertained, trained and given exercise. Around the age of 10 was my first time watching over our neighbors new puppy as they went on vacation. At the time I was nervous but my energetic energy matched the puppy perfectly. Currently i’m renting an apartment at my college UNH with my cat and a roommate. My neighbors who have pets continuously asked me to watch them because of how much time and energy I put into carrying for them. Sometimes I only watch them for the day when work or school takes over and other for extended periods of time. If this becomes the case I make sure to walk and entertained the pet so that they don’t feel lonely. Cat sitting in house is my most common form of cat sitting. Cats and dogs have very different needs from a sitter that I can provide with my years of experience working and owning my own pets I’m currently on summer break until August so my availability to spend time with your fur babies is very open. Keeping in mind that it is still my break there will be times in which I wish to fully experience my summer :) If there is a fenced in yard or not, I still plan to take pups on daily leash walks to ensure safety of the both of us. Ultimately whatever the client feels most comfortable and confident with I will ensure to use those methods. This can include crate use, specific walk routes, specific animal preferences and more.
“Sarah has been walking Jenny weekly for a month or so now in the middle of the day. She has been lovely, and taken Jenny on adventures around town. Sarah has also been flexible when my schedule has changed which I appreciate. I will definitely be booking again!”

She sent me nearly daily videos of my Tinkerbell playing with the other dogs and let me know daily hiw she was faring. she also followed the strict feeding schedule my delicate maltipoo requires and introduced her to the guest "pack" very gently, esnuring a superb integration from the start. Kathy knows her dog stuff and is a real pro! Tinks didnt want to leave her new best friends and was so loved and cuddled, she had more fun on vacation than we did! Would undoubtedly use hger again and frankly feel very fortunate that she chose us and allowed Tinks to join in the fun! Beyong the ordinary!!”
“Jaclyn and Eric were great. They run a well-oiled operation and our dog was very happy there. Plenty of play time and relaxing as well. Great communication and we would definitely board our dog there again. Thank you.”
