“Megan was great! She was very good at communicating and checked in with us with any questions she had. She sent pictures everyday! Thank you for taking such great care of Gracie while we were away.”
“Luna and Bossie were well taken care of, and even ate most of there food which is unusual when they are away from us. Communication was great and they were very obviously very active while in Heather's care. Very happy and she will be our first call next ti.e we ate going away.”
“I can’t recommend Abby more! She was so accommodating and welcoming to our dog. She always kept us in the loop and was sending pictures of all the fun he was having. I’m so happy we have found someone that we truly feel comfortable leaving our dog with. Again, she is so so so amazing and I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Jodie was absolutely amazing with my dog over Memorial Day weekend! She went above and beyond to make sure she was happy and well cared for. She kept me updated with great communication throughout the stay and sent lots of photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dog had an absolute blast with her, and it was clear she was in great hands the entire time. I would highly recommend Jodie to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive pet sitter!”
“Nataliya and her family continue to provide our dog Rufus with the best care and love! He has such a great time when he stays with them. And the daily pictures are the very best!”
“My dog has never been so content returning from boarding. It was evident that Rachael and her family took great care of her. I definitely would not hesitate to send my dog to Rachael again.”
“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!”
“Ashton was amazing!! I could tell my dogs got lots of love and they enjoyed their stay. Not only was Ashton available and accommodating for our last-minute request, but he was communicative and put my mind at ease about leaving my big goof balls for the weekend. Will definitely be using Ashton and family again!”
“Absolute best sitter I've left my GSD with. Hoping to book again soon so he gets more socialization with their pup. Kalani was very accommodating and understanding of my last minute request to book on a holiday weekend and my boys' anxiety that can look like aggression. Great communication and care. Would recommend her to anyone in a heart beat!”
“Adriana and her whole family was very accommodating and patient with our dog who gets separation anxiety. She kept me updated frequently with pictures and texts. I would use Adriana again and would recommend her. Thank you!”
“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!”
“Faustine was great! There were some expected changes with the booking at the last minute (not her fault), and she communicated well and was flexible in order to make everything still happen. We'll definitely be using her services again! Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our furbaby, Faustine! 😊”
“Susan and John took excellent care of Charlotte. They sent regular photos and kept in close contact. When Charlotte ran out of food, Susan went to the pet store to buy her new food so that she would not have to switch to something that she was not used to. Amazingly they let Charlotte up on their bed. Lots of cuddling photos. Charlotte looked happy in every one of them. I was very pleased and would highly recommend them! I am so happy to now have a dog watcher that both Charlotte and I feel confident in! Thank you Sue and John!!!”
About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, they were always a part of my life, and caring for them came naturally. Both of my parents shared that same love for animals, so I was raised in a home where pets were treated like family—with patience, kindness, and lots of affection. That love has stayed with me into adulthood. I understand that every dog and cat has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I enjoy taking the time to help them feel comfortable, safe, and happy. My home has a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely run, play, and explore, and there's always plenty of time for walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply relaxing—whatever makes them feel most at home. When your pet stays with me, they won't just be looked after—they'll be welcomed into a home where they're treated with the same love, care, and respect I'd want for my own pets. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and genuinely cared for. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. My schedule allows me to spend plenty of quality time with the pets in my care, whether that's going for walks, playing in the yard, sticking to their normal routine, or simply giving them the attention and companionship they deserve. I enjoy making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and right at home while their family is away. My home is clean, pet-friendly, and has a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play and explore under my supervision. I never leave pets outside unattended, and I make sure they always have fresh water, a comfortable place to rest, and plenty of love and attention.
“Dayna is very responsive and friendly. She took awesome care of my pup Moxie and sent daily updates. I’m pretty sure Moxie didn’t want to come home because she had so much fun getting all the cuddles, attention and playtime with the other dog. I highly recommend choosing Dayna for your sitting needs. I will definitely contact her again the next time I need a sitter”
“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!!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and currently have three of my own, so caring for them comes naturally to me. As a stay-at-home mom to four kids, I’m home and available throughout the day—meaning your pup will always have company, love, and attention. Caring for pets is second nature in my home. Between my three dogs and four kids, there’s always love, play, and activity to go around. Whether it’s morning walks, midday playtime, or cozy evening cuddles, pets easily become part of our family rhythm and daily routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine closely to keep things comfortable and familiar. I make sure they’re well-fed, walked, and given plenty of love and attention—just as if they were my own. I also keep homes tidy and respect any specific instructions, so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

She sends updates, and is so communicative and caring for them. Cannot stress how much your kiddos will be loved when she is watching them.”
“Kali was great! My husband and I left our cat for the first time and were really nervous but her communication while we were away helped ease our anxieties. She even made sure to turn on the A/C during a couple really hot days. Our cat isn’t the easiest cat to get along with but she always tried to take the time to play even when he wasn’t being nice with his claws. I would definitely use Kali again!”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover currently owned by my Amstaff, Hazel. I recently had the chance to care for a household of three cats spanning kittenhood to senior years, which gave me a real feel for how differently cats need to be approached depending on their age and personality, from the energy of a young cat to the patience a senior one deserves. I provide care at your home so your cat stays comfortable in their own space and routine. Calm, attentive, and happy to work around whatever your cat needs!

My goal is to provide a calm, loving home where your cat will be treated like part of the family while you're away, giving you peace of mind every step of the way.
“Jessica was caring and attentive to our kitties! She was able to modify some instructions when my kitten wasn’t eating as well and was very communicative with updates. Thanks, Jessica!”

“Jodie is absolutely amazing! Booked her last minute for two days of daycare for my puppy and she excepted right away. Her updates and communication throughout the day is absolutely awesome. I could not recommend a better person to watch your pet. I will be continuing to use her for all my daycare and boarding needs! If I could give her 10 stars I would!!”

About: I've been a pet owner my entire life.

I currently have one dogs of my own, a Wheaten Terrier named Sundae who loves everyone. I am currently working from home and live right on the rail trail where I can take your precious pup on walks throughout the day. I have ample experience with puppies, special needs dogs (meds dispensing including injections), and nursing and pregnant mommas to be! I have extra crates and plenty of expen fencing I can put up at any time! I am currently working from home so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pets. We sometimes go on trips or hikes, but mostly we stay close to home. If your pets are friendly they will get along well with my girl Sundae. If not, as a former show dog exhibitor, I am well versed in the art of "crate and rotate," or if needed "cozy bedroom and rotate." Safety and cleanliness comes first, always.

I also hold a Bachelor's degree in Veterinary Science so your pets will be more than well taken care of. I work from home, so I have plenty of flexibility to care for pets throughout the day.

About: I have not been an official sitter before, but I have been a dog owner for 20 years and know how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care. Dogs are family, and I understand the importance of making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. We do not currently have any fur friends at home, so we would be honored to share that love with your dog. I provide a calm environment, pay attention to routines and needs, and communicate clearly so you can feel confident while you’re away. Because we do not currently have pets at home, we have room in our routine to give your dog plenty of love, attention, and companionship. We can be intentional about feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and rest, and we know how important it is to keep dogs on a routine that helps them feel safe and settled. We know dogs are family, so we care for them with patience, attention, and genuine love. Our home is currently without other pets, which allows us to offer a calm environment and focused care. We will follow your instructions closely, pay attention to your dog’s comfort and behavior, and communicate clearly so you know your pet is safe and well cared for.

I have owned dogs, cats and a guinea pig in the past but currently do not own any pets so I will be able to focus solely on yours.

“Susan and John were great! Their home has an ideal set-up for dogs with indoor and outdoor play areas. Rosie was nervous on her first visit and they took special care of her. Would definitely ask them to sit her again!”

About: I have had dogs my entire life. Big dogs, small dogs, medium dogs. Usually 2 at a time. Our last dog passed in 2020 at age 11. In November 2022 we adopted a 10 month old blue tick coonhound. Her name is Pickle and she’s the sweetest. She’s super shy and submissive and we haven’t had any issues with her meeting other dogs, but we do want to ensure she is comfortable before booking anything and we require a meet and greet prior to confirming any bookings. When it comes to training, we use positive reinforcement and gentle words. In fact, the last dog I was training we hired a trainer to come in, since it had been a while for me, and the trainer said I was doing a great job and didn't think there needed to be any additional visits, unless I wanted them. I work part time, Tuesday’s and Wednesdays about 4 hours in an office, along with bringing kids to and from school. My work is very flexible and I am able to make changes as necessary. I have a fenced in yard and plenty of toys! We provide positive reinforcement and lots of cuddles! My children are relatively dog savvy, we have a 3, 5 year old, and a 8 year old. The 3 year old absolutely loves animals and will try to snuggle as much as possible.
“We love Emily and are so lucky to have found her. She does a great job caring for our crazy animals and is very reliable. We will absolutely continue to book with her.”
About: I currently have two cats and two dogs that I absolutely adore and consider part of the family. I've also pet sat for family friends and have experience caring for pets with different needs and personalities. After caring for a sick fur baby of my own, I'm comfortable giving medications and helping pets who need a little extra attention or medical care. I understand how important it is to know your pets are in good hands, and I’ll always treat them with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own. ❤️ I’m currently a full-time college student completing my classes online, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. Because I can plan my coursework around my commitments, I’m able to be dependable and accommodate a wide range of pet care needs. I’m more than happy to provide in-home visits to care for your precious pets. Before any visits begin, I like to meet with families to discuss any questions, concerns, or special care instructions. It’s also a great opportunity for your pets to get comfortable with me and for us to make sure we’re a good fit. My goal is to help both you and your pets feel safe, confident, and at ease while you're away.

“Heather is fantastic! The Meet and Greet gave me and my dog a chance to meet Heather. She was warm and loving toward Lulu (dog) and genuinely interested in what is best for my dog. On the day of the walk Heather was flexible and punctual . I worry about Lulu when I'm away, but felt at ease knowing that Heather was going to do a great job with her. Heather took Lulu to her favorite spots and she was really happy after the walk. I will definitely use Heather again. She is one of the best walkers I've had over the years.

“Abraham walked our dog Brandi while we were away for the weekend. He was prompt at the walking times and followed our requests in sending updates and pictures each walk.

About: Pet Care Experience — From Horses to Cats to Dogs My life with animals began long before it became a profession. At 14 years old, I started caring for horses — feeding, grooming, riding, exercising, and treating them as family. Horses taught me early lessons in patience, responsibility, and the importance of daily, consistent care. They also showed me how powerful the bond can be when animals are treated with respect and love. By 16, that passion grew into the dog world when I had the opportunity to be mentored by a close friend who was a Police K9 handler. That mentorship changed my life and set me on a path that would define my career. I began training at a K9 school in my hometown in New Hampshire, where I learned the foundations of K9 behavior, obedience, care, and handling of working dogs. I poured everything I had into learning the craft. After a year of dedicated internship and training, I taught my first class at just 17 years old. From that moment, I knew this was more than a job — it was a calling. Over the years, my experience grew into becoming a Police K9 handler in New Hampshire, followed by serving as a trainer and instructor for the NH Police K9 Academy through the Working Dog Foundation. I worked daily with high-drive working dogs and their handlers, focusing on discipline, safety, trust, and performance in real-world environments. After completing my full-time police career, I continued my K9 journey overseas, spending eight years in the Middle East providing private K9 handling and instruction in support of Army operations and Private Security detachments. Working in demanding and high-stress conditions further refined my skills and reinforced the importance of calm leadership, consistency, and deep respect for the dogs that depend on us. At the same time, I never stopped helping everyday families with their pets. Training and caring for family dogs — from energetic puppies to older companions — has always been just as important to me as working with professional K9 teams. I believe every dog deserves structure, patience, and loving guidance so they can thrive as well-behaved members of the family. Alongside my deep dog experience, my connection to cats comes from being a devoted cat owner. My wife and I shared our home with two amazing cats for about eight years, caring for them daily and loving them as part of our family. Living with cats taught me to appreciate their unique personalities, their need for gentle handling, respect for space, and the importance of calm, consistent routines — especially in a home shared with dogs. While my background with cats is personal rather than professional, it comes from genuine love and hands-on care as a pet parent. Through every chapter — horses, dogs, and cats — one thing has never changed: I treat animals as family. Today, with 27 years of experience centered around K9 training, handling, and care, supported by a lifetime of loving animals of all kinds, I bring a calm, confident, and compassionate approach to every pet I work with. Whether your dog needs structured care, your cat needs gentle attention, or your pet simply needs someone who will treat them like their own, I’m here to provide that level of trust and commitment. When you leave your pet with me, you’re not just choosing a sitter or caretaker — you’re choosing someone who has built his life around animals and who will care for yours with the same respect, patience, and love I’ve given my own. I am currently able to accommodate week days and most weekends to assist our communities. I can be available pretty much any time during the day as I own my own company that is newer to the industry it is supporting. 🛡️🐾 Safety, Trust & Environment For me, caring for animals has always been about more than just meeting basic needs — it’s about earning trust, creating calm, and treating every pet with the same respect and love I give my own. With decades of experience around animals — especially working dogs in high-responsibility and high-stress environments — I’ve learned that pets thrive when they feel safe, understood, and cared for with consistency. Whether it’s a high-drive dog, a shy cat, or a senior companion, I take the time to understand each animal’s personality, routines, and comfort level. In my care, your pet will have: ❤️ Genuine compassion and patience 🏡 A calm, structured, and loving environment 🦴 Proper exercise, enrichment, and rest 🍽️ Attention to feeding routines and health needs 👀 Close supervision and awareness at all times I believe animals should never feel rushed, ignored, or unsafe. I keep their spaces clean, secure, and peaceful, and I handle every interaction with calm confidence so they know they’re in good hands. Because of my background with working dogs and my life with pets like Aries, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your animal with someone else. I don’t take that lightly. When your pet is with me, they’re treated as part of my family — with the highest level of care, respect, and responsibility. Most importantly, I listen to what matters most to you, learning your pet’s daily routines and needs so I can mirror your care and make their time with me feel just like home.
About: Hi everyone! I’ve taken care of all animals especially dogs since I was young. I care for neighbors, family, and friends animals often and love every minute of it! I grew up with 3 dogs in my parents household and couldn’t imagine life without them. My husband and I bought our first home in Goffstown and adopted two cats who we love dearly! I have multiple days off during the week and I am also able to go before or after work and on my breaks. While I was in nursing school, I was a Veterinary Assistant caring for all types of animals! I’d also love to take care of your smaller friends (hamsters, ferrets, bunnies, goldfish etc) free of any extra charge! I ride and care for horses as well! If you have any barn animals that need a sitter, please don’t hesitate to ask! When I am going to your home, I will follow set directions and whatever is needed to give them the care and love they need while their beloved owners are away! Including lots of snuggles and butt scratches!
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was a child. I have experience in all types of sizes and breeds. I will walk them as needed, administer meds, and play with them. I have a kennel, if that’s what they’re used to. I’m familiar with how to deal with difficult animals, as I’ve raised some dogs that I was their only way of survival. I will do everything I can to make sure your fur baby feels at home. I have treats and toys, and nothing but time. If you want to me to work on basic commands for your home, that is also an option. You will never have to wonder how they’re doing, as I will keep you updated with pictures and videos.

“Megan was great! She was very good at communicating and checked in with us with any questions she had. She sent pictures everyday! Thank you for taking such great care of Gracie while we were away.”
“Luna and Bossie were well taken care of, and even ate most of there food which is unusual when they are away from us. Communication was great and they were very obviously very active while in Heather's care. Very happy and she will be our first call next ti.e we ate going away.”
“I can’t recommend Abby more! She was so accommodating and welcoming to our dog. She always kept us in the loop and was sending pictures of all the fun he was having. I’m so happy we have found someone that we truly feel comfortable leaving our dog with. Again, she is so so so amazing and I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Nataliya and her family continue to provide our dog Rufus with the best care and love! He has such a great time when he stays with them. And the daily pictures are the very best!”
“My dog has never been so content returning from boarding. It was evident that Rachael and her family took great care of her. I definitely would not hesitate to send my dog to Rachael again.”
“Ashton was amazing!! I could tell my dogs got lots of love and they enjoyed their stay. Not only was Ashton available and accommodating for our last-minute request, but he was communicative and put my mind at ease about leaving my big goof balls for the weekend. Will definitely be using Ashton and family again!”
“Absolute best sitter I've left my GSD with. Hoping to book again soon so he gets more socialization with their pup. Kalani was very accommodating and understanding of my last minute request to book on a holiday weekend and my boys' anxiety that can look like aggression. Great communication and care. Would recommend her to anyone in a heart beat!”
“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!”
“Faustine was great! There were some expected changes with the booking at the last minute (not her fault), and she communicated well and was flexible in order to make everything still happen. We'll definitely be using her services again! Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our furbaby, Faustine! 😊”
“Susan and John took excellent care of Charlotte. They sent regular photos and kept in close contact. When Charlotte ran out of food, Susan went to the pet store to buy her new food so that she would not have to switch to something that she was not used to. Amazingly they let Charlotte up on their bed. Lots of cuddling photos. Charlotte looked happy in every one of them. I was very pleased and would highly recommend them! I am so happy to now have a dog watcher that both Charlotte and I feel confident in! Thank you Sue and John!!!”
About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, they were always a part of my life, and caring for them came naturally. Both of my parents shared that same love for animals, so I was raised in a home where pets were treated like family—with patience, kindness, and lots of affection. That love has stayed with me into adulthood. I understand that every dog and cat has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I enjoy taking the time to help them feel comfortable, safe, and happy. My home has a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely run, play, and explore, and there's always plenty of time for walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply relaxing—whatever makes them feel most at home. When your pet stays with me, they won't just be looked after—they'll be welcomed into a home where they're treated with the same love, care, and respect I'd want for my own pets. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and genuinely cared for. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. My schedule allows me to spend plenty of quality time with the pets in my care, whether that's going for walks, playing in the yard, sticking to their normal routine, or simply giving them the attention and companionship they deserve. I enjoy making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and right at home while their family is away. My home is clean, pet-friendly, and has a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play and explore under my supervision. I never leave pets outside unattended, and I make sure they always have fresh water, a comfortable place to rest, and plenty of love and attention.
“Dayna is very responsive and friendly. She took awesome care of my pup Moxie and sent daily updates. I’m pretty sure Moxie didn’t want to come home because she had so much fun getting all the cuddles, attention and playtime with the other dog. I highly recommend choosing Dayna for your sitting needs. I will definitely contact her again the next time I need a sitter”
“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!!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and currently have three of my own, so caring for them comes naturally to me. As a stay-at-home mom to four kids, I’m home and available throughout the day—meaning your pup will always have company, love, and attention. Caring for pets is second nature in my home. Between my three dogs and four kids, there’s always love, play, and activity to go around. Whether it’s morning walks, midday playtime, or cozy evening cuddles, pets easily become part of our family rhythm and daily routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine closely to keep things comfortable and familiar. I make sure they’re well-fed, walked, and given plenty of love and attention—just as if they were my own. I also keep homes tidy and respect any specific instructions, so you can feel at ease while you’re away.
“Joshua, you were fantastic with my dog Slippy for the full 10 days. From the very beginning, I could tell how much care and attention you gave him. The regular updates and sweet photos meant the world to me and let me truly relax on my trip. Slippy came home happy, energetic, and clearly well-loved. I so grateful for everything you did. Thank you so much, Joshua — I would happily trust you with Slippy again anytime!”
“Rebecca was personable and gave updates during our pup’s stay. Rebecca engaged our pup with socialization and training reinforcement. Our pup seemed to have enjoyed her stay and came back safe and sound.”
