Personalized care for your dog or cat - Jackson
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Jackson
“Excellent experience start to finish!! Kaitlin was responsive to our sheltie’s sometimes-timid approach to other dogs, and it was a total success. They had a grand time and leaves us wishing we had to be back this way again!”
“Janet was fabulous with Willow! I really think WIllow felt like she was at her home away from home. Janet took Willow out for a nice long walk each day which is Willow's favorite way to spend some time. I will definitely be using Janet the next time I need a sitter for Willow.”
“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.”
“Had a great experience leaving Beau with Alicia and her family. They took great care of him, sent pictures/updates regularly, and asked questions about how to best care for him. They spent a lot of time outside with him, which I know he loved :)”
“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!”
“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). Brix was very happy and relaxed when she got home. :-) Highly recommend!”

“I am very happy to have found Levi!! I felt a lot more at easy knowing he was checking in on my little girl. He sent updates with photos on every visit which helped me knowing Ollie was in good spirits while I was away. Will absolutely have him watch over Ollie again and 100% recommend!”
“First time using Rover, and Eliot was wonderful. She has a ton of experience with animals and it was clear that my boys were well taken care of. Knowing I had a pro looking after my cats made my trip a lot more relaxing than it might’ve been otherwise. Her rave reviews tell you all you need to know. I will absolutely book her again.”
“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.”
“Great, consistent communication, sent photos of my Kitty daily, along with updates. My cat is very skittish around people but Sue was eventually able to pet her, which is a big win.”
“Second time we have used Jen. Could not be more pleased. Great communication, pets are happy and healthy, and she does exactly what she says she will. Thank you Jen. You release the stress of having to leave our pets.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Jackson
“We used Antonella for a second time this year for our Samoyed pup, this time while we went up the Cog railway and did other sightseeing. Our dog was again ecstatic and was happy and tired at the end of the day. Antonella was very communicative, the whole thing was easy and convenient and A+!”
“I am so thankful that my dog stayed with Lori! We are not from the area but wanted to check out Fryeburg Fair. I messaged Lori in the morning and she got back to me within minutes. I also let her know that my dog can be picky with other dogs and she was able to accommodate to that. She ensured that even if they had to be separated my dog would never be alone in a room. When we picked him up, he was so happy and even had a bone in his mouth!! She explained how well he did with both of her dogs and what precautions she took to make sure all of the dogs were safe. Thank you so much Lori for answering so quickly and watching our Atlas on such short notice!! If anyone is ever in the area I HIGHLY recommend booking with Lori! We know we would go back if we ever stop by in the area again :)”
About: Hi, I'm Kaitlin! I've been caring for pets for 20+ years. I currently have three dog-savvy indoor cats, two friendly (albeit loud) dogs, and I treat every pet I care for like my own. I have children in my home (ages range from 4 – 16) who have all grown up with both cats and dogs and are well versed in respecting their personal space. My husband and I both work from home during the week. I will be returning to office hours Wed-Fri starting in December, but my husband will be home when I am not. Our guests will always have companionship and supervision while in our home. A few things that set my care apart: - Experience with crate training/trained dogs. I can offer support in your training journey if it is something you are working on with your dog. - While I do not currently have a fenced-in yard, I do live on a private dead-end road in a quiet neighborhood. We do not have heavy traffic and can walk for as long as necessary to tucker your pup out. I also have long leads (60ft) for outdoor play on our property. - Daily photo updates of your pet(s) if desired. - Experience with dogs of all ages. - If your pet prefers a calmer environment, my at-home work space provides a reprieve from the rest of the house while maintaining companionship. - Competitive rates and flexible scheduling. I can typically accommodate emergency requests, though Fridays can be tricky with my in-office hours. - Bonus: I also have experience with chickens and love all animals, barnyard or otherwise. I can accommodate check-in visits to refresh water and feed as long as instructions are provided. Please contact me to discuss alternative means of scheduling if this may interest you or you know someone looking for a short term homestead sitter. Your pet will always feel loved, safe, and comfortable while in my care. My husband and I both currently work from home during the week and can provide constant supervision and attention to our guests. Your pet will never be left unattended for more than an hour or two, and crating them is an option if necessary. No dog is left unleased when outdoors; leashes and long lines are used for outdoor walks/play time. Guests are never left unattended and playtime is always supervised between our dogs and guests. Boarding guests are treated as family while staying with us and all areas of our home are open to them.
“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.”
“They were great with our girl. When she had a bit of a hard time at the beginning she was in constant communication with me about her. She was extremely flexible with times for both pick up and drop off. Highly recommended and will be using her again if needed!”

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

“Michele was great! We needed a last minute dog walk, and she responded to our inquiry immediately. She was reliable, easy to communicate with, and took great care of our dog. We would definitely use Michele again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog walker!”
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.
“Eliot is now our go-to! She is fantastic - great communication, thoughtful text updates and photos for each walk, checks on our pup’s water and food levels when she stops in, and changes up the walking route each time she takes out our pup to keep him interested. Our dog is always happy and content after his walks with Eliot. We feel so lucky! Thank you Eliot!”
“Jennifer was amazing! She did a great job communicating with us. Our last night away, a tree fell across our street knocking down power lines and blocking her way. She went above and beyond making it through to care for our animals!”
