“Very pleasant and friendly. Sent pictures of my dog chilling at their house. My dog enjoyed it way more than being at a kennel. I would definitely recommend them based on my experience.”


“Janelle and Bob took very good care of Maggie. She looked happy and well cared for when we picked her up. She loved running around in their fenced in yard. We will definitely trust them with Maggie again. Highly recommend.”

“Suzanne was exactly what we were hoping for when we decided to try Rover. She was very flexible with some last minute change of plans and the communication was excellent. I would definitely use her again and absolutely recommend her to anyone that needs a responsible sitter for their dog(s).”
“The most considerate and thorough dog care I have ever experienced. Thank you Kim, we for sure would recommend your services and will continue to work with regarding our dog care needs.”


“I can’t say enough good things about Lynda! Her dog got along great with our dog and Lynda kept us in the loop with pics and videos. We had a wonderful experience and wouldnt hesitate to leave our dog with Lynda again!”
“Nicole was very good with Cozo. Since I was from out of town, there was a lot of coordination ahead of time that needed to happen nd she was very responsive and accommodating. I would highly recommend Nicole and her house for all your per needs.”

“Andrea is amazing! She is very communicative when booking and during the stay. She sent many picture updates and my pup had a blast! We can’t wait to use her again in the future and we will definitely recommend her to friends and family!”

“It was very easy to work with Katie from scheduling a meet and greet to arranging the drop off and pick up times. She and her daughter were very good to our little chihuahua and accommodated the special needs of a tiny dog (5 lbs) who admittedly is a bit of a princess. She is also an excellent communicator, sending us pictures and updates regularly as she was sensitive to the fact that we were nervous leaving our pup in a new place. Thank you Katie!”

“My pup had a wonderful time with Heather and her family. They took great care of him and let me know how he was doing. They were able to take him on relatively short notice which I really appreciate. Thanks!”


“Lucia went above and beyond what I expected for someone looking after my dog. She is very calm and has a exceptionally clean home. I received daily pictures and updates as well. She will be only one looking after my moose for now on!”

“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 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! 😊”

“Hannah and her family were really great at taking care of my pup! I really appreciate her communicativeness and her flexibility. I had no concerns while she was taking care of my dog and would absolutely use her again for future boarding needs!”

About: My experience of caring for pets has started since I was a child taking care of family pets and later getting my own animals. In a professional setting I have been a Vet Tech for 9 years and done house sitting and dog walking for 5 years. During this time I have worked with everything from puppies, to diabetic cats. I also have limited experience working with large animals and farm animals. Needless to say working with animals is a passion of mine. At the moment I work full time as a vet tech which can cause me some weird hours. Despite this I would love to spend my free time caring for your pet. Feel free to message me and see if we can work out a time! Caring for pets in your house is completely up to you. I will follow your instructions for how to properly care for your furry family member and do everything in my power to keep them safe. Even though I work full time I would love to take the time before and after work to drop in and check on your kitties. They tend to get my morning attention and evening attention with just work getting in the way during the day. I care for the clients home by making sure that all of your requirements are met. So whatever you need from me to make everything as comfortable as possible I will do my best to accommodate you.

“Vienna watched our cat while we were gone over spring break. She did a great job! She showed up when she said she would, took care of the tasks needed, and our cat was happy. We'd hire Vienna again!”

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.
About: I’ve had fur siblings all of my life and have never had any issues providing the best care, making sure they are well loved and fed and keeping them active. I’ll provide the best care and help out tidying up the home while you are away. Although I am new to pet sitting I will strive to make sure all of your animals are well cared for under my services. I look forward to hearing from you! I’m located in the Lakes region and I am willing to travel further on my days off. I do have a full time job but my days off rotate. If you are interested in using my services, reaching out about a week or 2 in advanced would be best so I can accommodate my schedule to yours! If you need a longer stay I can definitely make that happen with more of a heads up. I feed and water my cats before and after my shift. When I come home on my lunch I bring out some of their favorite toys and play until I have to head back to work. When I get home we have more playtime and I feed them dinner. Before bed I make sure all of their water bowls and food bowls are full, I clean their litter boxes 4-5 times a week (fill as needed) and do a deep clean once every 2 weeks to keep things fresh.
About: I have been taking care of neighbor’s and friends’ dogs during vacations since I was 14. This includes walking, feeding, and playing with them on a set or flexible schedule. I work part-time during weekdays and the majority of the weekend. I have time to manage work and taking care of dogs on my days off. I have always loved animals and wanted to take care of them since I was a kid. I have a very friendly and old dog of my own, who I’ve taken care of constantly, especially through my gap year.
“Amanda was so great for drop-ins with our senior dog when we had to travel! We got thorough updates and progress reports and the cutest pictures. She kept up with her medications and routine. After our first meet and greet I knew she'd be great with our dog and she definitely was!”

“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.”


“Jess did a wonderful job taking care of our bunny, Beep, while we were out of town. Jess was responsive, flexible, and just an all around great pet sitter. 10/10 would recommend!”

“This is the second time Jessica has catsat for Woody during a vacation and it was another fantastic experience for all involved. She is very reliable and sends great pictures every time she visits along with helpful updates. She even brought in my packages from the deck. Highly recommended again!”

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.
“We are so happy with the service provided by Kim! Thank you for taking such good care of Piper for the day - we could tell she had an absolute blast! Came home a tired pup. We look forward to contacting you the next time we need some pup care up here!”

“Heather was an amazing help to me with last-minute notice. This was the 1st doggie day care for my 2 girls, and she took such good care of them. I recommend her highly.”

“My 2 dogs had a meet & greet with Nicole before spending the day at her home. There was a nice fenced in area and other dogs to play with. When I dropped them off for the day, they didn't even look back. She was kind enough to send photos during the day and let me know they were doing fine. I picked them up that evening - they were happy and tired!”

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.
“Communicating with Suzanne was prompt and easy. Our dog had a meet and greet Saturday, he was very comfortable there. We had a day at the house and all was great. We will be scheduling overnights next.”


About: I am a mom to a wonderful 4 year old boy! I am a server at the moment, also looking to fill up some of my free time by spending time with and looking after some pups and cats since I am not allowed to have my own full time at the place I currently live! I have been around animals almost my entire life, mainly dogs, but also cats; birds, ferrets, guinea pigs, and also a chameleon! When I was around 7 up until age 12, I helped my aunts take care of over 20 miniature pinchers, as well as a Doberman, 5 cats, 3 ferrets, and two birds! And afterwards, I’ve lived with three pups that have absolutely all of my heart. Since moving out of my parents a several years ago though, I only get to see my pups a few times a week, and god do I miss being around them for snuggles, walks, and playtime outside. I cherish every moment with them. I don’t currently have any pups living with me at my own place, the stars haven’t aligned quite yet to take in a dog of our own, which is why I’ve decided to become apart of this community so that I am able to still spend more time with pups and also help out others who need their’s watched and cared for! I know most dogs (and some cats depending on their mood aha) just need lots of love and attention, and it can be super nerve wracking for them to be away from their owners, but also nerve wracking for the owners to leave their pets with a stranger. Dogs and cats are more than pets, they’re family. Trusting in me to care and look after your pet is something that will never be overlooked, and I will do whatever I can to ensure that they are cared for and kept safe, as well as doing whatever is needed to give you complete piece of mind that your loved one(s) are in the greatest of hands✨ I look forward to meeting you and your pups or kittys!! I have Monday-Wednesday off, varying things going on during those three days so availability will vary! Fridays I’m available anytime after 4 ! Weekends I usually do doubles so I don’t have much time on those days 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!
“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!”

“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!”

“Becky is as close to perfect as one can get. She is thoughtful, caring, happy and reliable. Seriously do not know what we’d do without her to care for our very shy doggie - who can get into trouble now and then and she goes out of her way to help when we need, Thank you Becky 💛💛💛 Nothing but respect!”

“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!”

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
About: I have been a dog owner since I was 5 and for then past 37 years I have had primarily beagles along with one Vizsla with typically 2 at any given time. Our last beagle Charlie passed away a few months ago and while we would like the freedom having no pet allows us we miss the company and unconditional love they offer us. My wife worked as a vet tech for 10 years so we are comfortable administering meds and I have been pretty successful with training pups (yes even beagles). I work mostly from home and my wife has the summers off from teaching so it fits great unto our routine and it would be a pleasure to have dogs underfoot again. We have crates if dogs feel at home in them but they are welcome in all the rooms downstairs. We live on a long dirt road which is perfect for walks and if it gets too hot we have a cool basement and a pond for them to swim in.

About: My family has had pets my entire life, and I've grown up with dogs and cats, so the question of how many years of experience I have is difficult to answer. I have a lot of experience being around animals, but I obviously was not the primary caregiver for our pets during my childhood. I am very fond of animals (of course), and would love to get to know your furry friends and help them get out and about! I'm a student in college at UVM, so I am around to hang out with your pets in between and after my classes! Because of the way they are spaced out, I'm usually free midday or in the afternoon/evening. I put a lot of care into making sure your furry friends are happy and healthy while in my care. I keep a close eye on them, and stick mainly to quieter roads that I'm familiar with on walks.

About: With a lifelong love for animals and experience caring for both household pets and farm animals, I treat your pets with the same attention and affection you would. My goal is to ensure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I am a self-employed designer/printer, so my schedule is very flexible and adjustable based on your/your pets' needs. I am also single, so I do not have any other prior commitments other than work, and I do not have any pets of my own, so your pet(s) will have my full attention. I typically housesit/farm-sit, and I seek to adhere to the owners' standards. I am attentive to schedules, tasks & chores, and the pets' attention & affection needs. I keep a clean environment, and I make sure that the owner's home is in the same shape as when they left it.
“Leilani was attentive and responsive. She was prompt to let me know if there was any scheduling issues. I knew right away that our pet, puppy, was in the best care. She's very friendly and definitely good with animals of all sorts. I would definitely recommend her services.”

“I have an energetic 90lb shepherd mix, and Garrett does an amazing job tiring her out on walks! He is friendly, punctual and his love for dogs is obvious. I would highly recommend him as your next dog walker.”

“Kate is amazing, she takes great care of my golden retriever and 2 maine coon cats. Kate comes once a week and takes my golden on a walk, he looks forward to seeing her every week, Kate is always right on time and leaves me complete updates followed up with pictures. I appreciate having someone that I can trust in my home with my fur-babies.”

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 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.
“Katie has watched my pup in the past and was phenomenal! Very caring and went above and beyond to meet his needs. I recently had a last minute boarding cancellation that put us in a pickle, as we would have to be gone the entire day for a funeral. Katie was booked for boarding but was able fit him in for a walk despite being last minute. I am so grateful, as I knew he would be excited to see her, and I wouldn’t have to miss part of the service to travel back. Sincerely grateful and beyond satisfied with her care.”

About: I have owned animals all my life and have plenty of enrichment activities- snuffle matts, snuffle balls, puzzle toys, regular toys, and a big yard to play in! I love animals and this is currently a full time job for me being a pet sitter and owner. I make my dog my life and we go for walks and adventures daily. I make a schedule for my own dog, which includes puzzle toys for breakfast, an afternoon walk or adventure, snuffle mats and balls for later, and plenty of cuddles throughout the day!
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.
About: I am a certified veterinary technician with CPR/BLS certification also. Dog walking, pet care and extra medical services like medication administration available! Reach out with any questions!

I am also confident with pets with medical conditions who may need extra care such as diabetics
“Andrea is the best!! I am a very nervous dog mom! This is my first experiencing hiring a walker and I couldn’t be happier. She is very intuitive with my dog and really cares for his comfort and experience!”

About: I’ve had fur siblings all of my life and have never had any issues providing the best care, making sure they are well loved and fed and keeping them active. I’ll provide the best care and help out tidying up the home while you are away. Although I am new to pet sitting I will strive to make sure all of your animals are well cared for under my services.

About: I have always been an animal lover and care deeply about pets. Spending quality time, playing with them, walking them, or just being around them brings me joy. I’ve been a pet owner for over 10 years, ready to make new feline or doggy friends. I work part-time during the afternoon but I’m currently available most mornings and nights of the week for pet-sitting, drop in visits, and overnight watching. Boarding currently unavailable but willing to spend time at your own personal home! I prioritize each pet’s comfort, safety, and routine. I follow their feeding, walking, and play schedules closely, provide a calm and clean environment, and give them plenty of love and attention. I ensure they get daily exercise, mental stimulation, and cuddles if they want them. Your pets deserve to feel at ease even when you’re not around!
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: When I’m not boarding, walking, or doing doggy daycare I’m hanging out with my kiddos. Occasionally I also foster puppies at 8 weeks old and start the potty training process and prepare them to go to their furever home. Does your dogs like to sleep on the couch? Perfect! I do too! Do they prefer to sleep in bed with you at night? Not a problem, come on in! Does your dog need daily walks? You got it! I live on a quiet road off the beaten path. I tend to treat all animals with the respect and love I give my children and I teach my children the same morals. Pets aren’t just pets in my eyes, each dog has needs they need to have met and it’s my job to make that happen when they are in my care. During my high school years I spent my time after school volunteering at the local veterinary clinic assisting the vet techs preform their daily tasks. Growing up I worked on a dairy farm. I know how to administer medications, potty train, bathe, and trim nails. I’m a stay at home mom during the week so I am always home to give my furbabies all the love and attention they want. When I’m home and need to leave your pups will tag along with me through my daily routine and hangout with me. Or if they’d prefer to relax at home and have free range they can! I try to keep a potty and feeding schedule the same as when they are with you. I live in a lake house so if your pups love to swim then this is the place to be! I also have a decent size yard (unfenced) for playing. My two dogs will keep your furbaby company in a doggy sense. My children will also play with your babies so they will definitely have a lot of attention. Inside my house is baby proof so it is also dog proof. Do you want to FaceTime your dog while they are with me? Not a problem, call whenever. I will send pictures and updates throughout the day for you so you know they are okay. Your pets truly are treated like family in my care.
About: We recently moved to Monterey area from NH. While in the NH area we provided housesitting, dog walking and drop in visits for both cats and dogs. We are experienced with large dogs such as Great Danes, small dogs such like shitzu’s and cats. If you should need someone to drop in while you are away and care for your fur child we hope you reach out and we have the opportunity to earn both you and your pets trust.

“It was very easy to work with Katie from scheduling a meet and greet to arranging the drop off and pick up times. She and her daughter were very good to our little chihuahua and accommodated the special needs of a tiny dog (5 lbs) who admittedly is a bit of a princess. She is also an excellent communicator, sending us pictures and updates regularly as she was sensitive to the fact that we were nervous leaving our pup in a new place. Thank you Katie!”

“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!”
