“Alina was very responsible and considerate of my dog's needs. I really appreciate her commitment to the task of taking care of my dog and would gladly recommend her, and/or book with her 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!”
“Great people and am amazing, spacious, SAFE place for my dog. Excellent communication. I was happy to share my dog with these exemplary, canine-loving people. Amazing experience.”
“Our dog had a great time playing with their two dogs. Kate sent regular updates that made us totally comfortable that our dog Beatrice was having the time of her life. They were very responsive and flexible with drop off and pick up. Would definitely use again if I am in the area.”
“Remi's stay with Christy, Petey and family was everything we hoped it would be!! When I first reached out to Christy, she got back to me right away and we quickly set up a meet and greet. Christy sent us daily updates with photos. We could tell from the photos that Remi looked relaxed on his 'vacation'. Remi will definitely be staying again with Christy, Petey and family?”
“We would definitely recommend Jane to care for pets. She is warm and friendly and our Bella was well cared for. She sent an update and photo while we were away which was really appreciated.”
“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.”
“Jessica and her family were lifesavers! They took our two dogs last minute and loved on them so well. They did such a good job of integrating our dogs and sending lots of pictures during their stay. Our dogs came back so happy.”
“Andrea is very attentive and caring and has a wealth of knowledge and experience with dogs. She was sensitive to the needs of my elderly pup and went the extra mile to accommodate her. I highly recommend Andrea.”
“Ann and I hit it off immediately as did my dog Jonas. She has a super welcoming home that is totally geared towards her dogs. My dog had a blast and was absolutely exhausted from all the fun he had while staying with Ann. We would book with her again in a heartbeat. 5+ stars!!!!”
About: 🐾 Need a place for your furry friends to hang for the day? Overnight care? Visiting the area and want a safe place to leave your dog for an afternoon of two? Going on vacation? Regular day care while you are at work? Playtime and exercise? Walking and check/ins? I can do that! 💕 I have two 40lb lab mix pups: Ruby, who is almost 3, and Pax is 1.5. They are both very sweet and love other dogs and people! 🐾 We go on at least one long walk in the woods on our property every day- sometimes adventuring to the river for a dip, or out on the local, less-popular hiking trails. We know all the secret spots ; ) 💕 I love having a dog pack around, and love watching them play and run together. I believe in providing plenty of outdoor time for playing, sniffing, exploring, listening to nature, or sitting in the sun- whatever your dog needs to be happy! I will meet them where they are at to ensure they are comfortable in a new environment. Leashes will be used until we are sure it’s fine to take them off. 🐾 We just got an invisible fence- so if your dog is familiar with that, we have 1.5 acre yard of invisible freedom to roam! Trained in basic doggie 101-we usually have basic manners and recall in practice for healthy treats and affection-especially for puppies- and can provide a crate, comfy couch or bed if your pup needs a space to retreat. 💕 My only requirement for care in my home is that your dog must get along with other dogs and cats. I will gate the stairs to keep some separation, so if your dog is “cat curious” but intimidating, they will all have their own space to relax. 🐾 I work from home mostly, and have a flexible schedule. Pet care is perfect for my lifestyle! 🌲 We are outside a ton- gardening, hiking, xc skiing, swimming- adventuring on our property and in the surrounding National Forest. 🐾 I would prefer dogs that are good off-leash and have good social skills- I will always keep your dog on leash if I feel they are not okay otherwise. I only take 3 at a time the most, in-addition to my own pup. We live on a very private property with an open yard with an invisible fence system- offering plenty of space to run and play. We have a comfy animal-friendly couch and a screened-in porch with a queen-size bed for your pups to nap outside without being “loose”. I have 2 pups who will be happy to keep your pup company! They will be able to go in and out freely in a natural home setting, (as long as they are okay off leash) and your dog will be cared for like our own. If I visit your home, I would typically have my dog with me to play with yours- unless you specify otherwise. Each visit would be an hour of play and affection, outdoor time, feeding, water, etc.
“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.”
“Jennifer was awesome. She has a huge love for animals and it shows. Great communication and plenty of pics and video clips, which was very much appreciated, since this was the first time Josie had been there. Josie took to her immediately, along with her whole family. I could tell she had a great time. Will absolutely book again. Thanks Jen & Family!”
“We were so lucky to find Emily to care for our dog, Sonny, while we hiked the Lake of the Clouds Hut in August. From the moment we arrived, we knew he was in the best hands. Emily has a warm, welcoming home with plenty of outdoor space for dogs to play and explore. She took Sonny on walks, played ball with him, and even brought him swimming—which he loved! Emily kept us updated regularly with messages and photos, giving us complete peace of mind. It’s clear she genuinely loves dogs and treats them like her own. Sonny was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and we would absolutely trust Emily with him again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for loving, attentive care for their dog.”
“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 ??”

“Charish did a wonderful job of caring for my cat during the Christmas and New Years holidays. She updated me with photos and written updates over my baby and was very kind, caring, and reliable. I 100% recommend her!😊 we will definitely book again.”
“Elizabeth was wonderful. She is an excellent communicator and went above and beyond to get to know our very shy cats. We came home to a perfectly clean house and very happy, chill animals. We’ve already rebooked. Highly recommend.”
“Dawn took care of our two cats while we were away for 10 days. She was very reliable, and checked in each day. We could tell she did a great job feeding playing with (our one cat that is social) and cleaning up after our fur babies. Thank you Dawn- we hope you will come back! Sorry Jazzie hid the whole time but we hope Frank was fun and a good boy for you!”
“Great, consistent communication, sent photos of my Kitty daily, along with updates. My cat is very skittish around people but Sue was eventually able to pet her, which is a big win.”
“Martha did a great job of looking after my cat Osiris while I was away for the holidays. She sent daily pictures as requested for my peace of mind, reached out promptly when there were any issues, and was very understanding and accommodating when my planned pickup time got a bit wobbly due to travel issues. Will definitely be booking again the next time I need a sitter.”
“Cassandra was wonderful with our rambunctious dog and easygoing cat. She was flexible and reliable, communicated clearly, and sent great pictures. We came home to happy animals. Would definitely book Cassandra again!”
“Second time we have used Jen. Could not be more pleased. Great communication, pets are happy and healthy, and she does exactly what she says she will. Thank you Jen. You release the stress of having to leave our pets.”

“Waylons visit with Kate and John was great! From the very start we knew Waylon was in great hands!!! The updates through the day made us so very comfortable knowing Waylon was in great hands. We would rebook next time we are in the area.”
“This was the first time Jaxon stayed with Alina and family for daycare. We usually leave him for a day or too. We had a great time skiing and Jaxon had a great time with Alina! So glad we have a go to place for Jaxon in the Whites!”
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.
“Soleil had a nice time at Hailey’s home! She offered doggy day care services and was very caring and communicative as a host. She had a very sweet dog named Misty who was also welcoming and got along well with my pup. Lovely property with plenty of space for dogs to roam.”
“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.”
About: I have cared for all types of dogs big and small, and have lived, trained, and babysat dogs since i was little! I love animals, and currently have a flexible schedule to be able to care for yours. I treat them as if they are my own, and will love them with every ounce i have! I will show up in any weather, and have no problems giving medication. I have no fears of any size dog, and am usually the one found with the dog rather than people at any gathering ha! I am super careful, super thorough, and very reliable. I currently do work, but with my schedule I have a lot of time available during the day and afternoons, some nights. I am lucky in that my schedule is flexible, and can do daily visits, walks, short/long term, and potentially overnights. I am able to do overnights with your dog at my house, or happy to come to you as well. I have a big fenced in yard, and live across the street from a giant beautiful park with trails and fields to play in. I have friends who live on my street who, if ever needed, are beyond trust worthy if your pup ever needs anything. My boss also lives next door! I also live right near two other parks, and beaches. I am in a quiet neighborhood that is perfect for walks as well. I grew up with dogs my whole life, so my parents are also near by. Im also close to two animal hospitals
“Annie was very nice and understanding when our daughter came down with a fever. Our pups seemed happy and well cared for when we picked them up. We'd happily book with Annie again!”
“Ann was amazing with our puppy! She treated her like her own with all the love and attention we give her at home. Both days when we picked her up she was exhausted from all the fun she had with Ann and her dogs. Will definitely be contacting Ann again for puppy sitting! ?♥️”
“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 :)”
“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!”
About: I love animals and getting to meet new four legged friends. I have lots of experience dog sitting and walking friends' dogs over the years. I have been a dog mom to two rescue dogs and worked diligently on their training. Rupert is my fur baby at the moment and he's a very well socialized adventure partner. Dog training is an interest of mine and I'd be happy to work with your dog on any skills or behaviors while they stay with us. I have also volunteered at multiple animal shelters over the years, making sure all the animals get attention and walks. I'm currently a stay at home Mom to a toddler which allowd me to be attentive to your pets' needs throughout the day. Your dog will have human and dog company throughout the day. I enjoy going on hikes and walks so I can make sure your dog gets enough exercise everyday. I currently have a friendly 6 y/o mutt who loves having another dog to play with too.

“Michele was great! We needed a last minute dog walk, and she responded to our inquiry immediately. She was reliable, easy to communicate with, and took great care of our dog. We would definitely use Michele again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog walker!”
About: My love for animals started when I got my very first dog 🐶 at just 10 years old, and it’s been a big part of my heart ever since ❤️. That early bond led me to a career in dog grooming ✂️, where I get to do what I love every single day with patience, care, and joy. I’m also a proud dog mom to a sweet pittie mix 🐾 and a cat mom to a cuddly kitty 🐱—both of them fill my life with so much happiness 🥰 Petcare fits into my daily or weekly routine because even though I work and have my own animals, I still find myself with so much free time, and what better way to spend it, then with pets In your home I will care for your fur-babies as one of my own and make them as comfortable as I can with you being gone
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!
About: I have over 10 years experience with sitting cats, dogs and other small animals. Most of my pet-sitting clients are repeat families I’ve connected with through the local community. I have experience with extended in-home pet sitting, including overseeing household upkeep while clients are away. I am comfortable administering any oral medications needed, with provided instructions and tips. I love keeping you updated with photos and videos while you’re away and making sure your pet is happy, relaxed, and thriving! I have a flexible work schedule to be able to stay with your pets, or visit a number of times through out the day, to help accommodate your needs. I have experience in others homes where the pets feel most comfortable, and usually have a routine I can help maintain while your away! I also will attend to any other home chores like house plants, small pets like fish, or any problems that arise I will be sure you are aware right away.
“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!”
