“Tracy is fantastic, she was so accommodating and obviously cares so much about pups. Her place is really nice in a quiet neighborhood with a bunch of doggies and a 5mph speed limit. I felt so comfortable leaving Halo with her and will gladly again if I'm back on the area!”
“Our lab mix Dolly spent a few nights with Christy, and we couldn't have been more pleased. Christy sent many photos of Dolly playing, hiking, resting, and enjoying her time there. We'll definitely reach out to Christy again the next time!”

“Jane is a lovely and experienced dog sitter. My little puppy was very excited and energetic to see a cat that was in Jane's home. Jane was skillful in calming down my puppy and making them get along. My puppy had a pleasant stay in Jane's home for a few days. Jane is very easy to work with too. We had some schedule changes and communicated to Jane, and she was quick in responding and working out our schedule.”
“Hailey was fantastic with our pups. She sent us pictures and updates for them to help set our minds at ease. There was plenty of room outside for our dogs to run and play. When we picked up our dogs, they were happy and playful. They were very clearly well taken care of. We will definitely use Hailey again.”
“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!”
“Our pup had a great time at Jessica’s over the weekend. Jessica sent us updates with photos and was very communicative and professional. We appreciated having a safe and fun place for Rosie to stay while we were visiting family in the area.”
“Janet was fabulous with Willow! I really think WIllow felt like she was at her home away from home. Janet took Willow out for a nice long walk each day which is Willow's favorite way to spend some time. I will definitely be using Janet the next time I need a sitter for Willow.”

“Jen is my go to house sitter for my anxious boy and offered to board him at her home for the first time. She took amazing care of him and his needs and he had such a great time playing with her pups! I felt so relieved and was able to enjoy my time away knowing he was having a blast. Highly recommend Jen for your pet needs!!”
“Christina was really great with Cosmo and is experienced in dog behaviour and handling. I was nervous as Cosmo hasn't stayed in a kennel before but she handled it great and Cosmo had a great time! She was detailed in asking questions to ensure she had all the information to provide the best care for him.”
“Maile is so sweet, and she took my dogs in like they were her own ❤️ I could not have picked a better person to take care of my two German Shepherds. She kept me updated and even sent me some videos! She will be my go to for furbaby sitters from now on ??”

“We used Antonella for a second time this year for our Samoyed pup, this time while we went up the Cog railway and did other sightseeing. Our dog was again ecstatic and was happy and tired at the end of the day. Antonella was very communicative, the whole thing was easy and convenient and A+!”
“Jane is an outstanding dog sitter and person. We had schedule issues trying to accommodate a big family making us late. She was understanding and kind. This was the first time Rio was ever left with someone outside our family so were nervous. She gently greeted Rio, let him in her home with no hesitation like it was his own. We are so thankful for the exceptional care and attention she gave Rio. We are looking forward to more bookings with Jane.”
“Thank you Kim for taking care of Stella so well. I could tell right away that Stella felt very comfortable with you. The pictures tell the story. For a somewhat anxious dog, Stella looks relaxed with not a care in the world. Thank you for agreeing to board Stella in October. I have no doubt that she will be well cared for. I won’t hesitate to recommend you to my family and friends Thank you”
“Christy was so awesome! She made sure my pup coconut was comfortable with the other dogs that she was watching and sent lots of adorable pictures of them all playing in the snow together. She had great communication throughout the day and i will be rebooking next time I’m in the area.”

“Annie took wonderful care of our senior mini-poodle mix. He is over 16 years old and has some medical challenges. Annie did a tremendous job making him feel comfortable. Updated us with text/pics and a printed day report to take home. Excellent communication during the booking process as well. We would definitely book with Annie again if in the area.”
“Peter and Sarah are very knowledgeable and companionate people. They have a ton of experience working with all dogs. They took care of my large dog and brought him to two parks. Cannot ask for kinder better people to watch your pet!”
“Jen was amazing in every way! She sent us regular updates and took great care of our pup while we were hiking for the day. We are excited to have our dog stay with her again!”
“I am so thankful that my dog stayed with Lori! We are not from the area but wanted to check out Fryeburg Fair. I messaged Lori in the morning and she got back to me within minutes. I also let her know that my dog can be picky with other dogs and she was able to accommodate to that. She ensured that even if they had to be separated my dog would never be alone in a room. When we picked him up, he was so happy and even had a bone in his mouth!! She explained how well he did with both of her dogs and what precautions she took to make sure all of the dogs were safe. Thank you so much Lori for answering so quickly and watching our Atlas on such short notice!! If anyone is ever in the area I HIGHLY recommend booking with Lori! We know we would go back if we ever stop by in the area again :)”
About: My partner, April, and I have been caring for dogs our whole lives. We have experience working with different ages, breeds, temperaments, and varying levels of special needs care. We began our training journey when we rescued our two german Shepards and trained them as our service dogs. Our girls, Maya and Sadie, have grown so much in these past years! Watching the progress is very rewarding, so we want to extend that same reward to you, your pup, and your family. At this time, we offer dog walking, drop ins, overnight stays and boarding. At this time we don’t have openings for scheduling training sessions, but if there are behavioral concerns, please let us know and we can discuss how to support your pup. We understand everyone works different schedules. Our schedules are very flexible and we want to make sure your pet is able to be cared for without time restrictions. We offer morning, afternoon, and evening hours. We will treat your pup like our own. We will discuss what is most important to you in regards to ensuring the visit is safe in their environment. It is important to let us know of any medical or special need cares ahead of time so we can properly educate ourselves first. We will discuss any routines to be followed and review safety measures to follow.

“Michele was amazing! She walked our dog twice in one day - and our pup was clearly so happy upon our return! She took great care of our girl. She was also super flexible and helpful with scheduling and everything else. We couldn’t recommend her more!”
About: I was a dog mom for 17 yrs. I had two dogs, Kiya and Elvis, who were the best friends a girl could ever ask for. Sadly, they are both gone now. I have watched dogs for friends and family and I volunteer at my local animal shelter. I find so much joy in it. I'm semi-retired now so I have found I have a lot more time to do both now. I would love to care for your dogs. I never met a dog I don't like. I know it can take time for some dogs to trust and I accept that, especially with the shelter dogs. I always miss the dogs I've watched and the dogs who get adopted. From the time I was a small child, I have been drawn to animals. I'm semi-retired now so I'm frequently available to care for your dogs. It can be a potty break on a long work day, a weekend get away or a vacation. I've watched dogs as small as a 3 lb chihuahua to a 75 lb lab. I easily adapt to whatever routine and care your dogs are used to. I have an agreement with myself that I don't leave your dogs unless I absolutely have to. I've watched dogs in Florida and Colorado where I was encouraged to venture out and enjoy myself but I preferred to do that with their dogs or not at all. I will treat them with the utmost care, after all they are like your children. I'm happy to have them sleep with me if that's what they feel best with. My dogs slept with me every night. I respect if people crate their dogs as well.
About: Your furry friend deserves more than just a sitter—they deserve a new best friend! 🐾 I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. Whether your pup is energetic and playful or prefers a calm, cozy routine, I tailor my care to match their personality and needs. I provide loving, reliable care that keeps tails wagging and owners worry-free. From playtime to cuddles, your furry friend will feel right at home while you’re away. I’m attentive to details like feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special instructions you provide. You can expect regular updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your dog is in good hands. I work part time at dunks which makes my schedule flexible so that allows me to provide dependable care throughout the week. I am typically available mornings, evenings, and weekends, with additional availability on select weekdays depending on prior bookings. I plan my schedule to ensure each pet receives consistent attention, timely feedings, walks, and companionship. For pets requiring multiple visits per day, I can accommodate early morning, midday, and evening check-ins when arranged in advance. Because I work part-time, I am able to dedicate focused, unrushed time to each visit, making sure pets feel comfortable, cared for, and well looked after. I always communicate availability clearly and provide updates to ensure smooth scheduling and peace of mind for pet owners. My grandfather, Sid Lovett, was instrumental in my decision to make a career out of caring for animals. Safety and well-being are my top priorities. I monitor pets for any changes in behavior or health and communicate updates regularly, including photos and messages for peace of mind. I also ensure the home remains secure and follow any specific instructions provided by the owner. My goal is to make each pet feel comfortable and cared for, just as they would with their family.
About: With 20 years of experience caring for dogs, including senior dogs, I provide a warm and loving environment right from my home. I can expertly administer any needed medication, so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in great hands. Let’s keep your pup, no matter their age, happy and healthy together! I live on 5 acres of land, and pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I start each day by feeding and walking my pets, allowing them space to explore. Since I work from home, I can spend quality time with them, playing and training throughout the day. I check on their health regularly, which includes grooming and giving any needed medication. On weekends, I take them on adventures around our land. Pet care brings joy and structure to my life! I care for pets in both my home and my clients' homes by providing a safe and loving environment. In my home, I have a friendly 18-year-old Australian Shepherd who helps create a welcoming atmosphere for other pets. I ensure they have plenty of space to play and explore, while also maintaining a clean and comfortable area for resting. I follow their routines closely, including feeding times, walks, and play sessions. At a client's home, I respect their space and follow any specific instructions or routines the pet is used to. I make sure the environment is safe by removing any hazards. I also give them regular check-ins to ensure they are happy and healthy, and I am always available for cuddles and attention!
“Jennifer was amazing! She did a great job communicating with us. Our last night away, a tree fell across our street knocking down power lines and blocking her way. She went above and beyond making it through to care for our animals!”
