“Heather did a wonderful job taking care of our puppy! She was extremely kind, responsive, and was very easy to coordinate with. Our puppy wasn’t fully trained when Heather agreed to look after him, but he returned very disciplined and well-behaved. We also loved receiving photos of him almost everyday while he was staying at Heather’s place.”
“Susan and John are wonderful and I’m so glad I found them on Rover. My dogs, Ginger and Ollie, love them. They have games for the dogs to play with and they have a fenced in backyard. They are also wonderful at sending pictures which helped me to know they were safe and having a good time. Susan and John have a warm loving home and I would highly recommend them.”
“Christina took such wonderful care of Milo and Ellie while we were away. She kept us at ease with regular updates and photos, which we truly appreciated. It was clear they were in great hands the entire time. Both dogs came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. We would absolutely trust Christina again and highly recommend her”
“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!”
“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!”
“Kept us updated with frequent pictures, she clearly helped Cooper make himself at home. Very conscientious about our dog's wellbeing by asking for a "meet and greet" which I appreciated. Definitely recommend.”
“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.”
“Andrea was really responsive and provided updates throughout the day. My pup Biggie is a big brut and he transitioned right in. Truly appreciated the extra touches of love that made his stay easier for both of us! Will book again and share with friends💛”
“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!!”
“Megan did an outstanding job taking care of our pup. Communication was excellent and she sent a lot of really cute pictures of her while we are away. We felt very comfortable leaving her with Megan and her family!”
“Jessica provided a great care of our cat Mimi during the 2 weeks we were gone for the trip. Jessica is very communicative, always was available for any questions or updates on Mimi’s stay with her. We also appreciated a lot that Jessica took the burden of pick up and drop off which helped us tremendously. Whenever we need help with our cat when we are away we will request a booking with Jessica in a heartbeat.”
“Thank you Ashley for everything! My dog Winston stayed with Ashley this past week and she was excellent. She made me feel very confident that she cared and loved my dog while I was away. She was flexible and willing to work with my dog's special needs. She was in constant contact and sent photos on the regular. Her home was clean and had a great yard for my dog. I highly recommend Ashley :) THANK YOU!”
“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!”
“My dog was so happy, it was a perfect fit for him with the outside space and other dogs to play with. Greta was a great communicator as well and really appreciated having Manu there.”
“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!”
“Bielka was great. She responded to my request quickly and was able to accommodate my pup last minute, when my usual sitter had to cancel. She took good care of my dog, and was able to handle her quirks and energy with seeming ease. When I picked up my dog, Bielka gave me a little summary of their time together and let me know how my dog did. She truly cared and loved her, and I so appreciated that. It's not always easy to find somebody who will provide that care and form a connection with your dog over a short period of time and it feels like Bielka did just that. My dog seemed totally at ease. I'm so grateful for Bielka and would 100% recommend her!”
“Dayna is a true dog person. Upon entering her home and meeting with her I knew my dog was in excellent hands. Dayna took such good care of my girl and sent regular updates. I didn't worry for a second when my dog was with her. Dayna is friendly, kind, and will take perfect care of your dog and make sure they have such a good time. It was like summer camp for my pup. Thank you, Dayna!”
“I always worry that Cheese comes on a little too excited when she first meets people, but Dalyce seemed super prepared. Cheese came in for the meet and greet and after a good sniff laid down to chew on one of the toys she provided for visiting pups. Communication was great and she sent lots of updates and photos. Will definitely book again!”
“I would highly recommend Kimberlie. Kimberlie went above and beyond to ensure that our kitten Boo was well taken care of. I would recommend Kimberlie to anyone looking to have their pet taken care of.”

“Emma is awesome, went above and beyond for our babies. Great communication throughout our trip. put us at ease knowing they were being taken care of by her and allowed us to have a worry free vacation”
“Celina is absolutely amazing with my cat. She tends to get very lonely while we're away and Celina provides the extra attention she needs so she doesn't get depressed. I love having Celina as a sitter!”
“Allyson cared for our dog for a full week. A prompt message was sent following each visit with a photo or two. We felt at ease that Allyson was going above and beyond to make sure Finn was comfortable while we were away. We are fortunate to have Allyson for our pet care needs!”
“Kate did an AMAZING job looking after all of our animals for a week while we were out of town, will definitely as her to petsit again! It's a relief to know we have someone reliable we can count on when we want/need to be away. Thanks Kate!”
“Autumn was fantastic and we would highly recommend her to look after your animals. Autumn is a great communicator and took care of all the details. She made our time away from our three cats easy as we knew they were being well cared for.”
“I really hope we can do this again together. My girls were so happy and well cared for. I really liked the updates and jr was lovely seeing how relaxed my girls were even though I’d been gone for five days. Jordan took notes when we left and it helped to ease my mind. She was just wonderful.”
“My very discerning and slightly judgmental cat adored Molly. She understood how to follow her lead and ensure she was being doted upon. Molly also sent me beautiful photos of my cat that I loved. Would absolutely work with Molly again - she is wonderful!”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 7 years old and I am now 26. I have had primarily cats and dogs but I have also handled hamster, hedgehogs, guinea pigs and rabbits. I enjoy walking, playing and hanging out with the animals. I currently do not have any myself at the moment but I take care of various family members and friends pets while also housesitting.
“Kali is a lifesaver! My fiancé and I went away on vacation for 10 days and I was panicking since I’ve never left my pets for that long. She eased my worries, sent me cute pictures, and was wonderful with communication. She’s my go-to sitter and I can’t picture anyone else watching my babies :)”
“Christina was awesome!! Not only a kind individual, but wonderful with our two pups! She offered to work on some training while she spent the day with them, took them to the dog park, and was very accommodating when our plans changed. We will definitely use her again for pet sitting in the future!!!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong cat lover who understands that every cat has their own unique personality, routine, and comfort level. I’ve had my own Maine Coon for most of my life, so I’m very familiar with caring for large breeds as well as all the little quirks that make cats so special. In addition to caring for my own cat, I’ve volunteered at animal shelters where I helped care for cats of all ages, temperaments, and backgrounds. Whether your cat is playful and social or shy and prefers their own space, I’m happy to provide care that matches their individual needs. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust while you’re away. I’ll make sure your cat has fresh food and water, a clean litter box, plenty of playtime (or quiet companionship if they prefer), and lots of love and attention. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy and well cared for. I treat every cat as if they were my own, and I’d love the opportunity to meet yours!
“Hannah was wonderful with our two kitties. She came over a day early for a meet and greet and our kitties warmed to her really quickly. She was very communicative and sent great updates. We loved having Hannah as our sitter and will definitely use her again!”

“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!”
“Odessa almost jumps out of the car when I drop her off to Heather. She always has an incredible time while I’m off working at class. I could not have found a better caretaker than Heather. She’s so experienced and wonderful, it’s the greatest sense of security to know your pup’s not only safe and sound but literally having the time of her life enjoying herself.”
“Many times, when picking up my dog, I have found him stressed and unhappy. When I picked him up from Abby he was his usual relaxed and happy self. I am grateful for the place, her welcoming dogs, and her kindness in introducing my dog to a new place.”
“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!”
“Jodie took wonderful care of our tiny pup while we were out for the day. We had consistent updates during the sit and pictures of a very content puppy that gave us peace of mind and allowed us to enjoy the day. Already booked the next sit, so happy to have found a wonderful sitter nearby!”
“Heather is amazing! Thank you so much for looking after my baby. It was evident that she had a great time with you because she was pooped and slept all the way home. You even managed to get some pictures of her too (which isn’t easy). We would definitely recommend Heather!”
“Our pup had the best time at Althea’s!! She had so much fun playing with the other doggos and just running around all day :) Althea has an awesome set up with tons of space for the pups and she is so good with them! Definitely will be back!”
“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!”
“Lindsey watched our dog, Jack, for an impromptu visit to the aquarium and lunch. She took WONDERFUL care of him and even though we’d never met her before, we were instantly put at ease by her calm and kind demeanor. Next time we’re in Newport, we’ll definitely reach out to her again. Thank you Lindsey!”

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!
“Ashley is pleasant and knows what she is doing with these dogs! She has an ideal yard and home and was willing to show me the environment. She sent me pictures throughout the day and made me feel very comfortable. We can’t wait to work with Ashley 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!”
“Ashley was great. We met up before hand for a doggie intro meeting. Her pup is very friendly. Ashley took very good care of our best buddy and we will definitely be using her services again.”

I look forward to meeting your pets and having some fun! Please feel free to ask any questions you may have! I work from home so I only usually have to leave to either pick up the kids or run errands! I am available all day to attend to your loved ones!

“Rebekah took care of our pups and knew exactly what to do for them with their care. She was communicative and professional and prompt. Our dogs love her! We won’t hesitate to work with Rebekah again!”
“I've had Celina over to check on my cat before, but this was the first time I booked her to walk my dog. She was great, took time to stop by and meet my dog ahead of time and helped a ton when we weren't able to be around for my dog's usual afternoon walk. My dog was thrilled to have someone still take her out and was much more chill when we got home. Celina is absolutely great with both my pets”
About: Being a dog lover, I have always cherished the bond between humans and our canine companions. The unwavering loyalty, boundless affection, and playful spirits of dogs have captivated my heart from a tender age. My passion for dogs extends beyond simply enjoying their company; it drives me to provide them with the very best care and create enriching experiences that enhance their well-being. As a dog sitter, I am committed to providing a comprehensive and personalized service tailored to each dog's unique personality and requirements. Whether it's daily walks in the park, playtime in the backyard, or cozy cuddles on the couch, I strive to create a welcoming and stimulating environment where dogs can thrive. I believe that every dog deserves to feel loved, respected, and well cared for, and I approach my role with empathy, patience, and a genuine love for these extraordinary creatures. I’m currently an at home mom of 3 children under three years old. And I own a 4 year old mixed breed named Paris. I am available from 2:30pm through 9pm for daily walks and play time everyday. My preferred day-care hours are from 2:30pm through 10pm everyday. And my in-home overnight care is designated to Fridays nights into early Sunday Afternoons. I offer free roam or crated care in my home. All upon clients requests. Water is provided 24/7. Food will be given as quoted by owners. A variety of toys are available 24/7. I am very persistent on being out and about so walk times are within 1-3 hour intervals.
About: I have grown up with animals. For as long as I can remember we owned some type of animal, from fish to goats. We owned them. We always visited my families farms there were cows, horses, pigs and DOGS! I loved the dogs. The dogs and horses were my favorite parts! I was lucky enough to live on my aunts horse farm for a few years and help with the rescue pups that she would foster. She has taught me a lot about working with dogs as well as other animals and how to work with them together and being around each other. I have been dog sitting/boarding for a 10 years now. I have met many different dog breeds and with many different personalities! I would be a great choice for you and your fur babies! Schedule: I work from home as an entrepreneur! This gives me plenty of time to take pups for a walk, swimming, hiking or on an adventure ride! Care: I have been working with animals and dog for 15+ years. Safety if my main concern, for myself and your fur babies! I make sure to follow instructions left without question. While house sitting I ensure to leave a place well kept and more clean then when arriving!
About: Motivated and dependable pet caregiver with hands-on experience caring for dogs of various sizes and temperaments. Since 8th grade, I have been volunteering at the NHSPCA, where I regularly played with, exercised, and socialized dogs to support their enrichment and comfort. I also grew up in a dog-loving household and have always had pets, including dachshunds, golden, and currently a lab and a Great Pyrenees mix rescue dogs. Through these, I am skilled in dog walking, feeding routines, administering basic medications, and providing attentive companionship to ensure pets feel safe and comfortable while owners are away. Known for strong communication, punctuality, and attention to detail when following care instructions. Experience balancing a busy schedule as a full-time college student while maintaining responsibility-focused roles such as gym supervisor and tutor has strengthened time management and reliability. Passionate about building trust with both pets and their owners and committed to providing consistent, high-quality care! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. As a busy but well-organized college student, I primarily offer availability on weekends and Friday nights since I do not go out. During these times, I can provide focused, reliable care including walks, drop-ins, and possibly overnight sitting. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure pets receive consistent attention and timely care. I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and trustworthy environment for every pet. In a client’s home, I would carefully follow all provided instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and house rules while respecting the space. I keep pets supervised, maintain clean food and water areas, and ensure doors, leashes, and gates are secure at all times. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and structured routines to help pets feel comfortable and stress-free!

About: I grew up the child of 2 veterinarians, so it’s safe to say I’ve logged a LOT of animal care hours and seen a spectrum of pet situations. I’ve had dogs and cats (and bunnies!) as long as I can remember and recently lost my beloved dog Hedgehog aged 19. I’d love to care for your pets. I’m a hybrid worker based in downtown Concord.

I can provide the level of support your pet needs, whether that’s drop-ins for playtime, walks, and food or staying in the home with your pet.
About: I've had a cat my whole life, and I've had dogs growing up and love them dearly. I've as always taken care of friend's and family's dogs when they go on trips and usually try to train them in some fun new tricks! I'm patient with puppies and old dogs and know how to determine their limits. On leash or off leash, I'll adventure with your furry pal while you're gone for the day or for a few days! I work part time and I'm currently focused on day sitting or dog walking. I could also look in on your cats if you're on vacation. I do have availability for overnights for dogs as of right now. I have an unfenced yard but access to trails and fields across the road. I do have an elderly cat, so if you are interested in dog sitting, your dog must be good with cats.

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.
“Alex has been a godsend. I recently moved to the area from Australia, and she has been providing daily walks for my two golden retrievers, as well as housesitting when I travel. The dogs love her and are very well taken care of. Highly recommended!”
About: Petsitting for my neighbors was my first job as kid, and as an adult I continue to enjoy providing pet care services! I love being around animals and taking care of them! I have experience taking care of my senior sick dog. I am currently a student studying Business Management with a minor in Marketing in the UNH online program. As my school is completely online I have a flexible schedule and I am available Monday through Friday with pretty open availability. I currently work part-time in retail on the weekends and typically work during the day so I may be able to help Saturday and Sunday evening if needed. I am happy to provide care for your pet and ensure their safety within your home. I am currently living with my parents as I pursue my degree and am unable to board pets at my home.

“Heather did a wonderful job taking care of our puppy! She was extremely kind, responsive, and was very easy to coordinate with. Our puppy wasn’t fully trained when Heather agreed to look after him, but he returned very disciplined and well-behaved. We also loved receiving photos of him almost everyday while he was staying at Heather’s place.”
“Susan and John are wonderful and I’m so glad I found them on Rover. My dogs, Ginger and Ollie, love them. They have games for the dogs to play with and they have a fenced in backyard. They are also wonderful at sending pictures which helped me to know they were safe and having a good time. Susan and John have a warm loving home and I would highly recommend them.”
“Christina took such wonderful care of Milo and Ellie while we were away. She kept us at ease with regular updates and photos, which we truly appreciated. It was clear they were in great hands the entire time. Both dogs came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. We would absolutely trust Christina again and highly recommend her”
“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!”
“Kept us updated with frequent pictures, she clearly helped Cooper make himself at home. Very conscientious about our dog's wellbeing by asking for a "meet and greet" which I appreciated. Definitely recommend.”
“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.”
“Andrea was really responsive and provided updates throughout the day. My pup Biggie is a big brut and he transitioned right in. Truly appreciated the extra touches of love that made his stay easier for both of us! Will book again and share with friends💛”
“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!!”
“Megan did an outstanding job taking care of our pup. Communication was excellent and she sent a lot of really cute pictures of her while we are away. We felt very comfortable leaving her with Megan and her family!”
“Jessica provided a great care of our cat Mimi during the 2 weeks we were gone for the trip. Jessica is very communicative, always was available for any questions or updates on Mimi’s stay with her. We also appreciated a lot that Jessica took the burden of pick up and drop off which helped us tremendously. Whenever we need help with our cat when we are away we will request a booking with Jessica in a heartbeat.”
“Thank you Ashley for everything! My dog Winston stayed with Ashley this past week and she was excellent. She made me feel very confident that she cared and loved my dog while I was away. She was flexible and willing to work with my dog's special needs. She was in constant contact and sent photos on the regular. Her home was clean and had a great yard for my dog. I highly recommend Ashley :) THANK YOU!”
“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!”
“My dog was so happy, it was a perfect fit for him with the outside space and other dogs to play with. Greta was a great communicator as well and really appreciated having Manu there.”
“Bielka was great. She responded to my request quickly and was able to accommodate my pup last minute, when my usual sitter had to cancel. She took good care of my dog, and was able to handle her quirks and energy with seeming ease. When I picked up my dog, Bielka gave me a little summary of their time together and let me know how my dog did. She truly cared and loved her, and I so appreciated that. It's not always easy to find somebody who will provide that care and form a connection with your dog over a short period of time and it feels like Bielka did just that. My dog seemed totally at ease. I'm so grateful for Bielka and would 100% recommend her!”
“Dayna is a true dog person. Upon entering her home and meeting with her I knew my dog was in excellent hands. Dayna took such good care of my girl and sent regular updates. I didn't worry for a second when my dog was with her. Dayna is friendly, kind, and will take perfect care of your dog and make sure they have such a good time. It was like summer camp for my pup. Thank you, Dayna!”
“I always worry that Cheese comes on a little too excited when she first meets people, but Dalyce seemed super prepared. Cheese came in for the meet and greet and after a good sniff laid down to chew on one of the toys she provided for visiting pups. Communication was great and she sent lots of updates and photos. Will definitely book again!”
“I would highly recommend Kimberlie. Kimberlie went above and beyond to ensure that our kitten Boo was well taken care of. I would recommend Kimberlie to anyone looking to have their pet taken care of.”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and currently have five 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 five 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.
“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!”
