“Heather is such a great host! She is very responsive, caring and knows everything about dogs. Curry came home happily tired and we think he miss the stay with Heather already.”
“Suzanne is incredible. We received lots of updates and she took very good care of Abby. We had to extend Abby's stay due to a family illness and Suzanne was very accommodating. Abby certainly enjoyed her stay with Suzanne and Koda. We would recommend her to anyone”
“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!”
“We are so grateful to have found Kim to care for our dog Mochi while we were on a trip! She is accommodating, communicative and kind. We did not have to worry about leaving our dog with her and knew that Mochi would enjoy being around her dog as well. We got lots of pictures and Mochi got lots of exercise and rest too! I would not hesitate to ask Kim for her help in the future.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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. ❤️”
“Lynda was a lucky find. She loves dogs, and has one of her own, so she only takes in one additional dog. She took excellent care of Gypsy. During our trip, she sent us several pictures of her dog with ours, and a short video of the two dogs playing together. We will definitely use her again when next we travel. And I would recommend her highly to anyone looking for a kind, compassionate and expert dog-sitter. Thank you, Lynda!”
“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.”
“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!!”
“We love Katie! She and her family made my pup and kitty feel so comfortable and even accommodated us having a canceled flight resulting in a late pick up! We are definitely going to be repeat clients ❤️”
“Enzo can be a shy guy and a little nervous but Lauren did everything to make him feel comfortable including checking in with me, which I truly appreciate. He came home happy and tired and we would use Lauren 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.
“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.”
“Lucia is amazing! My 13 yr year old has so much anxiety and has never been away from home. I always had someone come to the house. Lucia comforted Bella and Luna played outside in her big fenced in yard with her. Got pictures daily and Bella had a great stay. Thank you Lucia for taking such care of my Bella.”
“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!”
“Christy did a great job with our dog Lucy. We dropped Lucy off on our way to the White Mountains. Christy gave Lucy a lot of attention and took her on nice walks. She also sent pictures and answered texts quickly. I would definitely recommend her.”
“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.”
“Grace was amazing! She was able to accommodate our dog's personality quirks and we were able to rest easy while Basil stayed with her. She was kind and attentive and gave updates on how our pup was doing. Thanks to Grace we were able to fully relax and enjoy the family wedding we were in town for! I only wish we lived closer so she could be our regular pet sitter!”

“Was able to do two daily check ins with Luna on one day notice for 10 days due to family emergency. Second time using Kim as a sitter. She’s the best. We trust her with Luna and Luna loves her!”
“Lisa was very attentive and Toby enjoyed her company- she responded very quickly to messages and sent great reports! It was great to have someone who has such a passion for animals and provided great care- we’ll look forward to working with her in the future!”
“Holly was amazing with my “kitten Jackson!” She was very attentive to his every need and I would strongly recommend her for your pet(s). I was able to go on my trip without worry! She was very kind to my kitten , and was also very flexible , able to add a few extra visits last minute!”
About: I have owned cats as far back as my memory goes. Currently have a Torti Senior gal, who just wants peace and quiet, while her new housemate, my 1 or old short hair orange wild, instinctual Terror tests everyone's patience daily!
“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.”
“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!”
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.
“This was my first time using Cloud after my regular sitter had to relocate. Cloud came highly recommended and it shows. She was patient with my semi-feral baby girl and loving with my big cuddly boy. She went above and beyond to ensure they were fed, cleaned up after and had treats to make it through. Cloud was extremely responsive and timely with her arrivals to see my babies. I’ve already rebooked her for my next few days of travel!”
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.

“What a wonderful place to take Chester for the day! It was so cozy I was kind of wishing I could stay for the day, too. Thank you Kim for your kindness and for taking such great care of Chester!”
“Alina was so fantastic! We spent a few minutes introducing our dogs on drop off. Then I was off and Daisy was taken on an awesome adventure walking all around Portsmouth. By the time I picked her up, Daisy, normally full of energy, had clearly had a good time and was ready for a nap, a rare sight.”
“Heather and her family are friendly and happy to accommodate whatever pet-sitting needs I have. I like that the dogs get a lot of socialization time with each other, something my dog doesn’t get at home.”
“Suzanne was fantastic! Our Penny girl (our 5-month Golden Retriever) had a wonderful time during her stay while my husband and I were at a concert nearby for several hours. Would recommend Suzanne in a heartbeat and grateful to have her close by!”
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.
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.
“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.”
“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.”
“She was flexible, met us halfway between where we were staying and her place, communicated perfectly, was on time, and sent many photos. Atlas came home exhausted and happy. Would easily book 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: 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
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for over 12 years, I grew up with a cockapoo and now I have 2 dogs of my own, I’ve always taken care of a lot of my friends and family’s pets when they were away, walking, feeding, giving medicine, and keeping them company, I also work in healthcare so I have a special love for caring for others! I work Monday through Friday until about2 to 3 pm I am completely available on the weekends and available the hours after work during the week I have a big back yard for the dogs to run and play I live in a quiet neighborhood away from any highway, I live on a cul de sac which I take my dogs for a walk on everyday and lots of trails to take them on near by. They are allowed on the couch and anywhere in our home
“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!”
“Darrion was a great pet sitter for our dog, Baxter! She was easy to communicate with and very friendly & easy going. We appreciated the tour of her house & yard as well as a meet & greet with her dogs and cat upon arrival, as it made us feel at ease about leaving Baxter with her. The text and photo updates throughout the day were reassuring as well. Baxter enjoyed playing with her dogs and cat. He was tired but happy when we picked him up, so we were happy as well!”
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.
“Our pup had the best time with Greta!! She came home super tired and happy :) Greta was great with communication and kept us updated with pictures and videos throughout the day. Will definitely book again!”
“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!”
“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!”

“Kim was great, she came to the house and walked Kiwi 2x per day, arrived on time and walked her for the requested time. I would highly recommend her to others looking for someone to walk their dog!”
“Thank you, Lilly, for such a great first visit with Bailey!! We really appreciated your help with her, and that you could stay the entire time to hang out with her. Thank you for being on time and giving her all of her meds as instructed. That reliability is so important and we will definitely be booking with you again soon!”
“Lisa and her daughter were so great with Kona! He’s a 10 month old with a lot of energy especially around new people. I accidentally scheduled the wrong day (like almost a month out!) but she was so accommodating and ended up still coming last minute for the time I had thought I booked. She showed up within the next hour and took Kona for a walk. He’s super happy and tired so they must have had a great time!”
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 like dogs and cats. Doesn’t matter what I watch but cats are easier for sure! I live in Weirs Beach where many peopke walk their dogs. My house is a perfect location for me to watch your pet if you go to a concert at Bank of NH Pavillion or go on the Mt Washington cruise ship or Train ride! Open for anything since I’m retired and have the time now. Prefer to watch pets in my own home but will watch in yours if your more comfortable I don’t have fenced in yard. I would need to walk dogs on leash or keep cats inside. I do have yard for dogs to wander around as long as they are tethered and I’m watching them
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.
“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.”
About: I am a current student in Medical School who has been dog sitting since high school. I have provided care for dogs and cats for various families on overnight trips. Over the past two years I provided care on and off for a household with two dogs, chickens, pigs, and gardens. I have worked in medicine and volunteered with the elderly over the past two years. I am available weekends and love to get outside (ideally with a dog). On weekdays I am happy to work around my class schedule to make sure your dog has plenty of care and time outside! I live in an apartment but have grass area outside. I also love taking dogs for walks or hikes. I am happy to take care of clients households as well, keeping the area clean, animals fed and walked, and plants watered.
About: Working with animals has always been a passion of mine. Currently I work at VCA Russell Animal Hospital as a veterinary assistant 30-40 hours a week. So, I do have knowledge in veterinary medicine. If you choose me to care for your cat or dog you will not be disappointed. I love every breed and every size and will provide the most excellent care for your family member. I have 3 dogs of my own currently and am very capable of caring for all life stages. Thank you for taking time to look into my profile and I hope you choose me to watch/care for your loved one (: Trying to stray away from my full-time job and make this my full-time job. Taking care of your pets is my top priority and I want to be able to have the availability to do so. I care for pets as I would my own. My pets are my babies and I would do anything for them. I will treat your animal like they are one of my own.
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.
“Kate showed up on time and adjusted the walk based on the temperature and what was safe for my pup. She spent time with her and gave her attention (pets and lickimats) after her walks. She clearly communicated (during initial discussions and after each visit) and made sure she knew what she needed to do. She also sent lots of pictures. I'll definitely work with her again!”
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.
“My dogs absolutely love Shelby! I think she likes them too 😉 She’s absolutely awesome when I contact her short notice to check in on them. My work keeps me late sometimes and she’s always there to help.”
“Andrea is wonderful! She is punctual and communicative with our pup’s daily walks. She is very reliable and clearly an animal lover, I do not worry about our pets when they are in her care. I would highly recommend her!”

“Heather is such a great host! She is very responsive, caring and knows everything about dogs. Curry came home happily tired and we think he miss the stay with Heather already.”
“Suzanne is incredible. We received lots of updates and she took very good care of Abby. We had to extend Abby's stay due to a family illness and Suzanne was very accommodating. Abby certainly enjoyed her stay with Suzanne and Koda. We would recommend her to anyone”
“We are so grateful to have found Kim to care for our dog Mochi while we were on a trip! She is accommodating, communicative and kind. We did not have to worry about leaving our dog with her and knew that Mochi would enjoy being around her dog as well. We got lots of pictures and Mochi got lots of exercise and rest too! I would not hesitate to ask Kim for her help in the future.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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. ❤️”
“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.”
“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!!”
“We love Katie! She and her family made my pup and kitty feel so comfortable and even accommodated us having a canceled flight resulting in a late pick up! We are definitely going to be repeat clients ❤️”
“Enzo can be a shy guy and a little nervous but Lauren did everything to make him feel comfortable including checking in with me, which I truly appreciate. He came home happy and tired and we would use Lauren 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.
“Lucia is amazing! My 13 yr year old has so much anxiety and has never been away from home. I always had someone come to the house. Lucia comforted Bella and Luna played outside in her big fenced in yard with her. Got pictures daily and Bella had a great stay. Thank you Lucia for taking such care of my Bella.”
“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!”
“Christy did a great job with our dog Lucy. We dropped Lucy off on our way to the White Mountains. Christy gave Lucy a lot of attention and took her on nice walks. She also sent pictures and answered texts quickly. I would definitely recommend her.”
“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.”
“Grace was amazing! She was able to accommodate our dog's personality quirks and we were able to rest easy while Basil stayed with her. She was kind and attentive and gave updates on how our pup was doing. Thanks to Grace we were able to fully relax and enjoy the family wedding we were in town for! I only wish we lived closer so she could be our regular pet sitter!”
“Our dog seemingly had the best stay with Nicole! Our dog was exhausted coming home after playing so much with the other dogs. Nicole was great with communication and we appreciate her taking care of our girl. Thanks so much Nicole!”
“I’m am so glad we found you! My baby had so much fun with your family. She slept the whole night, which is not the usual for her. She usually wakes me up at 3/4 in the morning to play before I go to work. I would definitely recommend Michelle!”
About: Hi! I’m Mikaela, and I’ve had dogs since I was a baby. I’ve had two family dogs (one beagle and one pitbull mix), and currently have one lovable mutt, Zeva. We love spending our free time on walks around the city, in the mountains, and anywhere we can find a good stick for Zeva to carry around. I’m a teacher, but my schedule allows me to be flexible. I have a 30 minute commute, so having a schedule works best to plan! I have a private yard space that I share with one neighbor. Anytime my dog goes outside (on a lead, so everyone’s comfortable), I’m right there with her.
