Personalized care for your dog or cat - Gorham
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Gorham
“Lori was easy to communicate with, and very patient and sweet towards an elderly dog with health issues. Maggie still got daily walks and exercise with the others and had an absolute blast under Lori’s care. Thank you so much, Lori! We will definitely be contacting you again!”
About: Our family has had dogs ever since our grown son was a child. We have owned and loved three dogs. As a retiree, I am happy to board your well-behaved, adult dog in my country home. Your dog will be the only dog I care for and will receive my full attention, as I will only care for one dog at a time. I'm retired and have plenty of time to spend with your dog. I love to walk in good weather and if your dog behaves on leash, I am happy to take your dog on safe, country hikes. If not, I have a large, fenced in yard for your dog to play in. I will treat your well-behaved dog as a family member. Our home is a quiet, relaxed setting, and a great environment for senior or fearful dogs. If you live nearby, I prefer doing a "meet and greet" with your dog prior to boarding to enable a smooth transition when it's boarding time.
“I’m very pleased with Susan and her husband. They went out of their way and were very patient with my sometimes anxious dogs. The kind of dog people you want to leave your babies with! Will definitely use again.”
“Jessica and her family were lifesavers! They took our two dogs last minute and loved on them so well. They did such a good job of integrating our dogs and sending lots of pictures during their stay. Our dogs came back so happy.”
“Kate was a great choice for our dog while visiting the area. She always responded back very promptly and immediately put me at ease when I dropped off Alta. Alta had a fun day playing with her dogs. She took her for a great walk and sent lots of pictures! I would definitely recommend her.”
“Bentley enjoyed his stay so much, he didn't want to leave Angela and his new furry friends! So grateful to Angela for Bentley's wonderful overnight experience and playtime. Communication was excellent and personable. Thank you!”

“AJ (and her husband) took wonderful care of our dog Maisy at their home for 6 days. They have a nice fenced-in backyard and went on neighborhood walks. It’s clear that they love dogs, and they were excellent about reinforcing our basic obedience rules (sit, down, wait, and no jumping/kissing) that we continue to work on with our dog. Highly recommend and we’ll definitely use AJ again!”
“Missy is terrific! Very lucky to have found her to care for our 2 yr old English Golden. Great communication, regular updates, pictures, lots of outdoor activities, and our pup clearly loved and and was comfortable w Missy and her family, human and canine (Charlie).

“Laura was so great with our cats! She was super responsive and kind throughout the week. It was also amazing coming home to an extra clean house. We’ll definitely be repeat customers.”
About: I have taken care of cats and kittens in rescue settings, boarding facilities and animal hospitals. I also have experience caring for kittens/cats in the post-operative phase as well as diabetic cats. My experience includes feeding, playing/socialization, safe-handling, medication administration and cleaning of litter boxes.
“I was nervous to leave my senior cat for the first time since I adopted her this past year, but Eliot was fantastic! Communicative and professional, such a weight off my mind to know my cat was being well-looked after.”
“Cassandra was wonderful with our rambunctious dog and easygoing cat. She was flexible and reliable, communicated clearly, and sent great pictures. We came home to happy animals. Would definitely book Cassandra again!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats and have experience training my Labrador through her puppy and adolescent stages. I’m great with both playful puppies and gentle senior pets. I love being active, so walks and outdoor time are always a priority. What sets me apart is my mix of care, patience, and hands-on experience with pets of all ages. Tuesday and Thursday I am available for evenings, along with Friday mornings and some weekends! I do travel during the day which makes pop - ins much more convenient. Whether in my home or my client’s, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and fun environment. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible—whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or quiet time.
About: I also offer cat sitting services in your home. I understand that cats thrive in their own environment, so I'll ensure they receive plenty of love and attention while you're away. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, or just some gentle cuddles, I’m here to keep your kitty friend comfortable and happy. Plus, I'll make sure their litter box is clean and their favorite toys are at the ready for some fun!

Perfect for high energy dogs - Gorham
“Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! From the start, Lori was super friendly, easy to communicate with, and went out of their way to accommodate our last second plans. Lori was warm, patient, and flexible, which made everything stress-free for us and even updated us with photos! It’s rare to find someone who genuinely connects with our anxious pup but Lori totally did! If we lived 1500 miles closer — we’d use them all the time!”
About: I've been surrounded by animals my whole life, and wouldn't have it any other way. Throughout my childhood, I helped my parents raise cows, goats, pigs, chickens, our llama, and a few more little critters on our farm. We've always had dogs and cats, and my love for them doesn't compare. I've helped feed, walk, bathe, cut toenails, and give shots and medication since able to do so. I've helped out family friends with walking and pet sitting for their dogs. I love forming bonds with all kinds of animals and having them be a part of my day. I'm 18 and taking a gap year before college to travel. I'm working for a few months and pet care is my main priority! I'm very flexible and have nothing but free time. If within a close range I can spend an hour or a few with your pet, or spend a few nights if you're traveling away. My goal is to suit your needs in whatever way I can. As with my pets, I'll make sure your pets have plenty of time outdoors to get their energy out, feed and water them, and finally whatever else is communicated to me. Brushing, nail clipping, bathing, medication. Whatever suits your pet's needs. Of course, most importantly I will give them love and companionship while they're in your absence :))
“Susan took great care of my dog Franklin. My dog is a senior and has a few extra needs, she met with us ahead of time to clarify them and make sure Franklin had the best care. I got picture updates during the day. Susan did a great job communicating. I look forward to having Susan sit Franklin again in the future.”
“Our family was having a trip to the white mountains area. And we found Kate & John nearby, 2 mins away from our hotel. They took great care of our dog and were super friendly and nice people, so we can enjoy our time on the mountains. Definitely recommend.”
About: Recently moved to a cute farm house in Byfield. Great area for walking dogs. Dead end street with trails and brooks and reservoir close by.. I lLove to take my dog on hikes and walks on the beach. Have plenty of time to share my day with your pets. Can provide references from PA where I used to live. I have always owned dogs and cats and have no shame admitting my dog Charlie is my best friend. I would love to find a few regular customers who would like to meet up and make sure your and my dog like one another. I do like to have meet and greets at my house prior to accepting pet sitting or day care in my house. I believe I owe that to both your dog as well as mine. Hope you consider my services Thanks Missy Hello I’m an active person who loves to take dogs on long walks and hikes. Unfortunately my Dog is 13 and has slowed down drastically. I’ve loved animals since I’ve been a child and my dog Charlie is honestly my best friend. My property in Byfield is on a dead end street with beautiful trails along the stream or trails through the woods. Very quiet neighborhood with lots of puppy neighbors

About: Animals bring me so much happiness. I lived in a household with dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens and lizards for several years. I loved starting my day with them every morning. They all have their own special personalities. It would be my pleasure to spend time with your pets and make them feel loved and cared for. I will provide exercise and playing, medication administration, provide your pet with fresh food and water or just some cuddle time if needed. If you need additional services I am more than happy to try and accommodate you. Our pets are a part of our families and I will do my best to make sure they feel happy, safe and comfortable in their environment. It's all about the animals for me. I have a pretty flexible schedule and love to stay busy. Nothing makes me happier than filling my days caring for your pets. I am coming into your home and want your animal to be as comfortable as possible. I want to make sure their daily routine stays the same and they feel safe, relaxed and happy with me.

About: I am a big time dog lover! I work from home and am able to be here with the pets all day and take them out at least every 2 hours or as needed. I have a big house with a decent sized yard (NOT fenced). I'd love a few more companions hanging out with me and my dog, Lola! There aren't a lot of pet sitting options in this area so here I am making it an option :) Please come check me out! I work from home so i am here all day with the pets and able to tend to them as needed. i get an hour break for lunch and thats usually when i take my dog out to play/walk. I am available for day time pet sitting during the week. If needed me on a weekend we can most likely work something out-case by case basis-but it wasn't something i wanted to promote on my profile.
