“Alina was very responsible and considerate of my dog's needs. I really appreciate her commitment to the task of taking care of my dog and would gladly recommend her, and/or book with her again.”
“Bertie seemed to have a wonderful time with Brittanyerin. We were in a pinch on our wedding weekend and had totally forgot to find a place to board our sweet pup. Brittanyerin was quick to respond to our request and was very accommodating! She sent us lots of photos of Bertie and made sure we had peace of mind. Thank you so much for taking care of our dogter!”
About: Hi, I'm Kaitlin! I've been caring for pets for 20+ years to my own pets, as well as caring for and spoiling others. I currently have three dog-savvy indoor only cats, 2 “house dogs”, and I treat every pet I sit for like my own. I have children in my home (ages range from 16 – 4) who have all grown up with both cats and dogs and are well versed in respecting their personal space. I offer boarding, house sitting, drop-in visits, with flexible scheduling to fit last-minute requests and regular routines alike. Whether your pet needs a quiet, cage-free home base, a midday potty break, or overnight company so they're never alone, I'm happy to tailor my care to what works best for them. A few things that set my care apart: - If your pet uses a crate at home, or if they tend to get anxious or chew things when unattended, I do ask that a crate is provided for overnight bookings. I do not have a spare crate on hand. One of my family dogs is crated at night, one is not. - 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. - Daily photos of your pet for check-in purposes, or if they’re just being cute. - Experience with puppies and young dogs. - Competitive, transparent rates — no surprise fees. - Bonus: I also have experience with chickens and freshwater aquariums and can accommodate check-in visits to refresh water and feed if I am provided with a feeding schedule. I have a flock of my own and have sat for friends over the last 8+ years. I can provide references if necessary. My pets are up to date on their vaccinations and flea preventatives. I have homeowners insurance, additional insurance, am well versed in loving on pets, and committed to being reliable and responsive — you'll always know your pet is safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'd love to meet you and your pet for a free Meet & Greet before your first booking! My husband and I both currently work from home Monday through Friday and can provide constant supervision and attention to our furry guests. If your pet prefers a quiet environment as opposed to the hustle and bustle of family life, we do have the ability to provide quieter settings. As mentioned above, if your pet requires a crate to feel safe and secure, we have the experience to accommodate that as necessary. We do not have extra crates at this time, so for overnight bookings we do ask that their crate is provided to us, but we do have the space in our home to accommodate that. All outdoor trips are on-leash as we do not have a fenced yard at this time, however we can provide long walks to adequately tire your pup out. I love taking photos of my own pets, so if that offers peace of mind to our guests, I am more than happy to oblige. A meet and greet before a booking is preferred to ensure our dogs can get along. My dogs are both neutered/spayed and have not had any experiences with aggression towards other dogs. They do get excited, but quickly calm down once the initial introduction is over. Our dogs are not left unattended/uncrated with guests unless absolutely necessary. If we needed to leave the house quickly for whatever reason, you would be notified and your dog would come with us to remain under our supervision at all times. In-home visits and/or care- I am careful and aware of not letting pets outdoors unless explicitly told to do so. I have indoor only cats so I understand how important it is to check the cracks for sneaky paws and noses before opening doors. I do not wander around the home; it is strictly in and out, fill water and food as necessary, clean litter boxes, and spend a little time sitting on the kitchen floor to offer attention and pets (when the animal permits it). Your space is private, and I am honored to have your trust in caring for both your pets and your home.
“Kate and John were so awesome! They really know dogs and made us feel so confident that our Penny would be safe and comfortable! We will definitely request their services in the future.”
“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.”
“Our energetic Maddie had a great stay with Tony. We always try to board her with people that have other dogs so she can play and make friends. Tony had her alone, but still managed to get her walking and running off leash in a fenced in yard and kept her happy. He was very good about reaching out and sending pictures during her stay which is very reassuring. Not enough Rover people do that! Tony is highly recommended!”
“Flo had an awesome time with Rebecca. This was my pup's 2nd visit with Rebecca this summer. She gets lots of attention, exercise, and love. I loved my photos and videos from the visits as well.”
“Highly recommend! We have a 10 month old Irish Setter puppy and had her set to go to a kennel. We found the kennel was awful, but we had to leave her as we were heading out of the country the same day. I found Gabrielle and Sara through Rover and they responded immediately. They went over and picked up our girl first thing the next day and took great care of her for two weeks. I regularly received pictures and updates. She was well taken care of and happy pup when I returned home. I highly recommend them.”
“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.”
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
“Grace made sure Raz had plenty of exercise and a full belly! She had my little guy over night and he came back to me tuckered out enough to sleep the whole way home to Bangor! I would definitely suggest her as a sitter and request her services again !”
“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.”
About: To those who don't know me already my name is Duffy and for the last five years I have worked in both Daycare, Boarding, Training and as a Veterinarian assistant/tech taking care of more then a hundred dogs and cats in a single day. I have helped in training new puppies all the way to helping care for our senior pets, while giving owners peace of mind that while they are away, they know that no matter what part of life their pet might be in, that they will be cared for by someone with experience and love for their pet. I currently work part time at a veterinary clinic in order to gain more knowledge and experience when it comes to pet care in case of any emergency that may arrive. At this time my availability for boarding is between Wednesday-Sunday. I am also flexible on longer stays if needed for trips upon request. I have a fully fenced in yard for your pet to play in and be to be kept safe. I have two dogs that are under 25lbs and are 10 years and older. Depending on your pets age and play style they may or may not be interested in playing but can coexist. If your pet is dog aggressive, that is not a problem since I live in a home with two floors and can keep them separated without any worry of them having a problem.
“Christy dog sat our two Samoyeds around Christmas 2023 and my wife, and I, and our dogs loved her! Christy asked the right questions about dogs and their behavior. She approached them with respect and restraint, so they would get a chance to sniff her before we left them with her. She has a beautiful property with fenced yard, where dogs can run and have fun and be safe. We also gave her a go ahead to take the dogs on longer walks on nearby trails. The rest of Christy's family doted on our dogs, and the dogs loved all the attention. Christy sent us pictures and videos of dogs enjoying themselves and she was available over text if we had questions. We hope to use Christy's dog sitting services again.”
“Christina was really great with Cosmo and is experienced in dog behaviour and handling. I was nervous as Cosmo hasn't stayed in a kennel before but she handled it great and Cosmo had a great time! She was detailed in asking questions to ensure she had all the information to provide the best care for him.”
About: 🐾 Need a place for your furry friends to hang for the day? Overnight care? Visiting the area and want a safe place to leave your dog for an afternoon of two? Going on vacation? Regular day care while you are at work? Playtime and exercise? Walking and check/ins? I can do that! 💕 I have two 40lb lab mix pups: Ruby, who is almost 3, and Pax is 1.5. They are both very sweet and love other dogs and people! 🐾 We go on at least one long walk in the woods on our property every day- sometimes adventuring to the river for a dip, or out on the local, less-popular hiking trails. We know all the secret spots ; ) 💕 I love having a dog pack around, and love watching them play and run together. I believe in providing plenty of outdoor time for playing, sniffing, exploring, listening to nature, or sitting in the sun- whatever your dog needs to be happy! I will meet them where they are at to ensure they are comfortable in a new environment. Leashes will be used until we are sure it’s fine to take them off. 🐾 We just got an invisible fence- so if your dog is familiar with that, we have 1.5 acre yard of invisible freedom to roam! Trained in basic doggie 101-we usually have basic manners and recall in practice for healthy treats and affection-especially for puppies- and can provide a crate, comfy couch or bed if your pup needs a space to retreat. 💕 My only requirement for care in my home is that your dog must get along with other dogs and cats. I will gate the stairs to keep some separation, so if your dog is “cat curious” but intimidating, they will all have their own space to relax. 🐾 I work from home mostly, and have a flexible schedule. Pet care is perfect for my lifestyle! 🌲 We are outside a ton- gardening, hiking, xc skiing, swimming- adventuring on our property and in the surrounding National Forest. 🐾 I would prefer dogs that are good off-leash and have good social skills- I will always keep your dog on leash if I feel they are not okay otherwise. I only take 3 at a time the most, in-addition to my own pup. We live on a very private property with an open yard with an invisible fence system- offering plenty of space to run and play. We have a comfy animal-friendly couch and a screened-in porch with a queen-size bed for your pups to nap outside without being “loose”. I have 2 pups who will be happy to keep your pup company! They will be able to go in and out freely in a natural home setting, (as long as they are okay off leash) and your dog will be cared for like our own. If I visit your home, I would typically have my dog with me to play with yours- unless you specify otherwise. Each visit would be an hour of play and affection, outdoor time, feeding, water, etc.
About: I have always had dogs but am currently without one after my 16-year-old golden retriever passed away. I am comfortable working with dogs of all ages, and understand how their needs, routines and personalities change throughout their lives. I live in a quiet community with beach access a short walk away. If you have a pup that loves to swim, go on adventures or walks, or simply spend time outside, I would be a great fit. While your away, you can be sure they too are enjoying a mini vacation. I can work from home so your dog will not be lonely during the day. There are some days I may not be home all day, but I will be sure to give them plenty of exercise with time to run, play or swim in the mornings, afternoons and evenings. I also have a life jacket for those dogs who are not strong swimmers or who may want a little extra support in the water. I've not crated any of my dogs, but if you are more comfortable with crating, I can accommodate that if you bring yours. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I do have a small side yard, access to trails and a beach so they will get plenty of time outside.

I have a small farm so have experience tending to rabbits, cats ,chickens,pigs, goats and chinchillas I work part time and am available weekdays / nights and weekends, i am available for overnights or early morning pick up / drop off I can come to you and take your dog/s for walks or playtime in your yard or neighborhood as well as taking them to hiking trails, parks or just out for a little socializing (depending on the dog) I have dogs that I can bring if your fur baby needs a playmate as well. I also offer daycare and boarding in my home, I don’t currently have a fence up but we are adding one in the spring. I have plenty of room for inside play for the dogs and go on multiple walks a day with them. I do have personal dogs but I can have it so they are separated if your dog doesn’t do well with others.
“We were so lucky to find Emily to care for our dog, Sonny, while we hiked the Lake of the Clouds Hut in August. From the moment we arrived, we knew he was in the best hands. Emily has a warm, welcoming home with plenty of outdoor space for dogs to play and explore. She took Sonny on walks, played ball with him, and even brought him swimming—which he loved! Emily kept us updated regularly with messages and photos, giving us complete peace of mind. It’s clear she genuinely loves dogs and treats them like her own. Sonny was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and we would absolutely trust Emily with him again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for loving, attentive care for their dog.”

About: I have been working with dogs for the last 10+ years. I have worked with small dogs and large dogs, lazy dogs and active dogs. At one point I worked for a dog walking company taking 13 dogs hiking at once! It was amazing. Since getting my own dog, I haven’t been walking as many dogs lately. But I’ve started nursing school and would love to be able to help out as a study break. My own dog is dog reactive so she will never join, but that means I know all of the quiet forest roads and secret water spots so your pup can have the best time. Have an overly active dog? I frequently bike with my dog (on or off leash.) and run with her and would love to do the same with you pup. And if your dog is reactive? I can make sure they get all the exercise they need without seeing other dogs. Reach out! I would love to learn more about your dog!
“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.”
About: I’ve had pet cats since I was a little girl. I’ve always done the care taking for them and I’ve had roommates in my adult life that I helped with their cats as well. I currently have two of my own that are pretty spoiled and would love to spoil yours while you’re away!
“Heather is the best! She cared for our 15-year old cat who had some special needs, and Heather went above and beyond and gave him all the love and attention he needed. We couldn't be happier!”
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
“Martha did a great job of looking after my cat Osiris while I was away for the holidays. She sent daily pictures as requested for my peace of mind, reached out promptly when there were any issues, and was very understanding and accommodating when my planned pickup time got a bit wobbly due to travel issues. Will definitely be booking again the next time I need a sitter.”

About: I love animals and getting to meet new four legged friends. I have lots of experience dog sitting and walking friends' dogs over the years. I have been a dog mom to two rescue dogs and worked diligently on their training. Rupert is my fur baby at the moment and he's a very well socialized adventure partner. Dog training is an interest of mine and I'd be happy to work with your dog on any skills or behaviors while they stay with us. I have also volunteered at multiple animal shelters over the years, making sure all the animals get attention and walks. I'm currently a stay at home Mom to a toddler which allowd me to be attentive to your pets' needs throughout the day. Your dog will have human and dog company throughout the day. I enjoy going on hikes and walks so I can make sure your dog gets enough exercise everyday. I currently have a friendly 6 y/o mutt who loves having another dog to play with too.
“Jen was amazing in every way! She sent us regular updates and took great care of our pup while we were hiking for the day. We are excited to have our dog stay with her again!”
“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 :)”

“Kim is the absolute best. We've tired a few sitters for our Abbi (Golden Retriever) before finding Kim. No need to look any further. Leaving Abbi with Kim was like having an experienced, dog loving family member watch her. Kim sent pictures and updates throughout Abbi's stay. I highly recommend Kim and will definitely book her again.”
“We are so grateful for Jane’s care of Teddy while we were on vacation in NH. On our second day of day care, Teddy walked right into her house without hesitating, showing us he already felt at home. We appreciated the pictures and updates and would not hesitate to book Jane again!”
“Brittanyerin was a great sitter for our dog. It was a last minute request as we were camping and doing some non dog friendly activities. She was super flex, and our dog definitely felt at home. She has lots of land and a spacious, clean home. We recommend!”
“Bri watched my pup on relatively short notice on a holiday weekend. She was very responsive, provided lots of updates and pictures, and overall took great care of my energetic girl, and we even went home with some homemade dog treats! I definitely recommend her!”
About: (If boarding with us we can do free pick up and drop off me and him also do this full time so we will never have a dog alone! Welcome to our home! My husband, Zach, and I are lifelong animal lovers and understand how important it is to find a safe, loving place for your pet while you’re away. We live in a spacious home with both upstairs and downstairs areas, giving dogs plenty of room to relax and feel comfortable. I prefer well-trained, housebroken pets. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Dogs staying with us will enjoy regular walks and lots of attention. If your dog enjoys car rides, we can also go on adventures to local walking trails, parks, or other pet-friendly outings with your permission. Whether your pup prefers playtime, cuddles, or simply a quiet place to relax, we’ll do our best to make them feel right at home. We also have a cat named Phoebe. She is friendly but generally keeps to herself and stays out of the way of visiting pets. I provide frequent updates, photos, and communication so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is being well cared for while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! (Also if it a house sitting it will be me gabby who does those!) Pet care is my full-time profession, which means I have the flexibility to accommodate a wide range of schedules — including early mornings, evenings, weekends, and even last-minute requests when needed. I take pride in being dependable and responsive, so whether you need consistent daily visits or occasional check-ins while you’re away, I’m here to help. My goal is to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible for both you and your pet. I understand that routines can change, and I’m happy to adjust accordingly to meet your needs. Just send me a message with your preferred schedule, and I’ll respond promptly to discuss availability and create a care plan tailored specifically to your pet. Your peace of mind and your pet’s well-being are always my top priorities. I look forward to working with you! When caring for your pet in your home, my top priority is to maintain a sense of consistency and security by following their established routine as closely as possible. I understand that pets thrive on familiarity — with their surroundings, feeding times, walking schedules, and the comforting rituals they’re used to. By preserving these routines, I help ensure that your pet feels safe, calm, and confident in your absence. I take the responsibility of entering someone’s home very seriously and treat every space with the utmost respect and discretion. I’m mindful of your home’s cleanliness, privacy, and any specific instructions you leave — from alarm codes and feeding schedules to favorite toys and bedtime habits. I also provide regular updates, including messages, photos, and notes about how your pet is doing, so you can feel connected and reassured while you’re away. Whether it’s administering medication, monitoring behavior, or offering extra snuggles to ease separation anxiety, I’m committed to giving your pet the highest level of care and attention. Above all, my goal is to create a trustworthy and stress-free experience — for both you and your pet — by providing compassionate, dependable care in an environment where they feel most at ease: home.
“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.”
“I was very nervous to leave my 10 month old, very active puppy with someone I did not know while we were on vacation, but Grace was fabulous. Very mature for her age. Maggie had a great time-she did not want to leave when we went to pick her up and followed Grace back into her house!”
About: I have always had dogs but am currently without one after my 16-year-old golden retriever passed away. I am comfortable working with dogs of all ages, and understand how their needs, routines and personalities change throughout their lives. I live in a quiet community with beach access a short walk away. If you have a pup that loves to swim, go on adventures or walks, or simply spend time outside, I would be a great fit. While your away, you can be sure they too are enjoying a mini vacation. I can work from home so your dog will not be lonely during the day. There are some days I may not be home all day, but I will be sure to give them plenty of exercise with time to run, play or swim in the mornings, afternoons and evenings. I also have a life jacket for those dogs who are not strong swimmers or who may want a little extra support in the water. I've not crated any of my dogs, but if you are more comfortable with crating, I can accommodate that if you bring yours. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I do have a small side yard, access to trails and a beach so they will get plenty of time outside.

I have 4 dogs of my own and have been trusted by many to take care of their amazing furry family members!

“Michele was absolutely wonderful! She was able to come walk our dog on very short notice. She took a lot of care to make sure our puppy had what she needed and was on time. She was a great communicator and we would gladly hire her again :)”
About: I have been working with dogs for the last 10+ years. I have worked with small dogs and large dogs, lazy dogs and active dogs. At one point I worked for a dog walking company taking 13 dogs hiking at once! It was amazing. Since getting my own dog, I haven’t been walking as many dogs lately. But I’ve started nursing school and would love to be able to help out as a study break. My own dog is dog reactive so she will never join, but that means I know all of the quiet forest roads and secret water spots so your pup can have the best time. Have an overly active dog? I frequently bike with my dog (on or off leash.) and run with her and would love to do the same with you pup. And if your dog is reactive? I can make sure they get all the exercise they need without seeing other dogs. Reach out! I would love to learn more about your dog!

About: To those who don't know me already my name is Duffy and for the last five years I have worked in both Daycare, Boarding, Training and as a Veterinarian assistant/tech taking care of more then a hundred dogs and cats in a single day. I have helped in training new puppies all the way to helping care for our senior pets, while giving owners peace of mind that while they are away, they know that no matter what part of life their pet might be in, that they will be cared for by someone with experience and love for their pet. I currently work part time at a veterinary clinic in order to gain more knowledge and experience when it comes to pet care in case of any emergency that may arrive. At this time my availability for boarding is between Wednesday-Sunday. I am also flexible on longer stays if needed for trips upon request. I have a fully fenced in yard for your pet to play in and be to be kept safe. I have two dogs that are under 25lbs and are 10 years and older. Depending on your pets age and play style they may or may not be interested in playing but can coexist. If your pet is dog aggressive, that is not a problem since I live in a home with two floors and can keep them separated without any worry of them having a problem.
About: I’ve been a dog lover for all 26 years, but I’d say I’ve been able to take care of dogs for 20. I’ve had four different family dogs I’ve helped raise. I was a friends personal dog walker for about a year, but I moved. My grandmother bred and boarded dogs most of her life so I grew up around dogs with someone who knows a lot about them. I’ve also helped friends raise and somewhat train their puppies. I believe I’m different from other dog walkers because I’m not just doing it as a job, I will love your dog as my own and will enjoy helping with them. I’m looking to see all dogs but I could also sit them if you ever needed or wanted! And I love all dog breeds and sizes I can handle them all. I’m currently a stay at home mom so my schedule is very open to help you with your cats and or dogs in my free time I will love your pets as if they’re my own. I’ll gladly take them for walks or play with them based off what you ask me to do!
About: Dogs and cats love my hands-on, dependable care. Whether it’s timely feeding, active walking, tossing a frisbee or tennis ball or a soothing snuggle, your beloved dog will love to see me. You can rest easy knowing your companion is in good hands. I am available for overnight sits with advance notice as well as drop-in visits. Weekdays I can drop in as well as evening visits. I am also available for walks. Please note if you are farther than 15 miles from Bridgton, I will require reimbursement for fuel expenses. I am able to care for small dogs in my home but prefer to care for pets in your home due to restrictions in my HOA.
“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!”
About: I have over 10 years experience with sitting cats, dogs and other small animals. Most of my pet-sitting clients are repeat families I’ve connected with through the local community. I have experience with extended in-home pet sitting, including overseeing household upkeep while clients are away. I am comfortable administering any oral medications needed, with provided instructions and tips. I love keeping you updated with photos and videos while you’re away and making sure your pet is happy, relaxed, and thriving! I have a flexible work schedule to be able to stay with your pets, or visit a number of times through out the day, to help accommodate your needs. I have experience in others homes where the pets feel most comfortable, and usually have a routine I can help maintain while your away! I also will attend to any other home chores like house plants, small pets like fish, or any problems that arise I will be sure you are aware right away.

“My pups LOVE Elliot! Ever since their meet and greet, they can’t wiggle and wag fast enough when she pulls into the driveway! Elliot respects what I allow my pups to do and not to do which is great! Highly recommend!”
“Ashley is so caring and thoughtful! She wants me and my dog to be comfortable, and really understands animals and thier needs. I feel very safe having my dog be taken care of by her! Thank you Ashley!”
About: I have been caring for animals basically my entire life. It's not unusual for me to spend two weeks at a clients home to watch their dogs while they are on the road, vacation etc. I have experience with my own animals as well. I've raised many types of animals including but not limited to dogs,cats, reptiles, farm animals, etc. I was the person that fed them, walked them, provided comfort and performed any other necessary tasks needed in order to make sure the animals needs are met. Currently I have a very open schedule. My schedule is open to play, watch, feed, walk or whatever you need me to do. Occasionally I have a meeting or appointment other than that I am free. I will make sure your pet is safe while in my care whether it be on a walk or playing outside and I will supervise your pet around any other animals.

“Alina was very responsible and considerate of my dog's needs. I really appreciate her commitment to the task of taking care of my dog and would gladly recommend her, and/or book with her again.”
“Bertie seemed to have a wonderful time with Brittanyerin. We were in a pinch on our wedding weekend and had totally forgot to find a place to board our sweet pup. Brittanyerin was quick to respond to our request and was very accommodating! She sent us lots of photos of Bertie and made sure we had peace of mind. Thank you so much for taking care of our dogter!”
About: Hi, I'm Kaitlin! I've been caring for pets for 20+ years to my own pets, as well as caring for and spoiling others. I currently have three dog-savvy indoor only cats, 2 “house dogs”, and I treat every pet I sit for like my own. I have children in my home (ages range from 16 – 4) who have all grown up with both cats and dogs and are well versed in respecting their personal space. I offer boarding, house sitting, drop-in visits, with flexible scheduling to fit last-minute requests and regular routines alike. Whether your pet needs a quiet, cage-free home base, a midday potty break, or overnight company so they're never alone, I'm happy to tailor my care to what works best for them. A few things that set my care apart: - If your pet uses a crate at home, or if they tend to get anxious or chew things when unattended, I do ask that a crate is provided for overnight bookings. I do not have a spare crate on hand. One of my family dogs is crated at night, one is not. - 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. - Daily photos of your pet for check-in purposes, or if they’re just being cute. - Experience with puppies and young dogs. - Competitive, transparent rates — no surprise fees. - Bonus: I also have experience with chickens and freshwater aquariums and can accommodate check-in visits to refresh water and feed if I am provided with a feeding schedule. I have a flock of my own and have sat for friends over the last 8+ years. I can provide references if necessary. My pets are up to date on their vaccinations and flea preventatives. I have homeowners insurance, additional insurance, am well versed in loving on pets, and committed to being reliable and responsive — you'll always know your pet is safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'd love to meet you and your pet for a free Meet & Greet before your first booking! My husband and I both currently work from home Monday through Friday and can provide constant supervision and attention to our furry guests. If your pet prefers a quiet environment as opposed to the hustle and bustle of family life, we do have the ability to provide quieter settings. As mentioned above, if your pet requires a crate to feel safe and secure, we have the experience to accommodate that as necessary. We do not have extra crates at this time, so for overnight bookings we do ask that their crate is provided to us, but we do have the space in our home to accommodate that. All outdoor trips are on-leash as we do not have a fenced yard at this time, however we can provide long walks to adequately tire your pup out. I love taking photos of my own pets, so if that offers peace of mind to our guests, I am more than happy to oblige. A meet and greet before a booking is preferred to ensure our dogs can get along. My dogs are both neutered/spayed and have not had any experiences with aggression towards other dogs. They do get excited, but quickly calm down once the initial introduction is over. Our dogs are not left unattended/uncrated with guests unless absolutely necessary. If we needed to leave the house quickly for whatever reason, you would be notified and your dog would come with us to remain under our supervision at all times. In-home visits and/or care- I am careful and aware of not letting pets outdoors unless explicitly told to do so. I have indoor only cats so I understand how important it is to check the cracks for sneaky paws and noses before opening doors. I do not wander around the home; it is strictly in and out, fill water and food as necessary, clean litter boxes, and spend a little time sitting on the kitchen floor to offer attention and pets (when the animal permits it). Your space is private, and I am honored to have your trust in caring for both your pets and your home.
“Kate and John were so awesome! They really know dogs and made us feel so confident that our Penny would be safe and comfortable! We will definitely request their services in the future.”
“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.”
“Our energetic Maddie had a great stay with Tony. We always try to board her with people that have other dogs so she can play and make friends. Tony had her alone, but still managed to get her walking and running off leash in a fenced in yard and kept her happy. He was very good about reaching out and sending pictures during her stay which is very reassuring. Not enough Rover people do that! Tony is highly recommended!”
“Flo had an awesome time with Rebecca. This was my pup's 2nd visit with Rebecca this summer. She gets lots of attention, exercise, and love. I loved my photos and videos from the visits as well.”
“Highly recommend! We have a 10 month old Irish Setter puppy and had her set to go to a kennel. We found the kennel was awful, but we had to leave her as we were heading out of the country the same day. I found Gabrielle and Sara through Rover and they responded immediately. They went over and picked up our girl first thing the next day and took great care of her for two weeks. I regularly received pictures and updates. She was well taken care of and happy pup when I returned home. I highly recommend them.”
“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.”
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
“Grace made sure Raz had plenty of exercise and a full belly! She had my little guy over night and he came back to me tuckered out enough to sleep the whole way home to Bangor! I would definitely suggest her as a sitter and request her services again !”
“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.”

“Christy dog sat our two Samoyeds around Christmas 2023 and my wife, and I, and our dogs loved her! Christy asked the right questions about dogs and their behavior. She approached them with respect and restraint, so they would get a chance to sniff her before we left them with her. She has a beautiful property with fenced yard, where dogs can run and have fun and be safe. We also gave her a go ahead to take the dogs on longer walks on nearby trails. The rest of Christy's family doted on our dogs, and the dogs loved all the attention. Christy sent us pictures and videos of dogs enjoying themselves and she was available over text if we had questions. We hope to use Christy's dog sitting services again.”
“Christina was really great with Cosmo and is experienced in dog behaviour and handling. I was nervous as Cosmo hasn't stayed in a kennel before but she handled it great and Cosmo had a great time! She was detailed in asking questions to ensure she had all the information to provide the best care for him.”
About: 🐾 Need a place for your furry friends to hang for the day? Overnight care? Visiting the area and want a safe place to leave your dog for an afternoon of two? Going on vacation? Regular day care while you are at work? Playtime and exercise? Walking and check/ins? I can do that! 💕 I have two 40lb lab mix pups: Ruby, who is almost 3, and Pax is 1.5. They are both very sweet and love other dogs and people! 🐾 We go on at least one long walk in the woods on our property every day- sometimes adventuring to the river for a dip, or out on the local, less-popular hiking trails. We know all the secret spots ; ) 💕 I love having a dog pack around, and love watching them play and run together. I believe in providing plenty of outdoor time for playing, sniffing, exploring, listening to nature, or sitting in the sun- whatever your dog needs to be happy! I will meet them where they are at to ensure they are comfortable in a new environment. Leashes will be used until we are sure it’s fine to take them off. 🐾 We just got an invisible fence- so if your dog is familiar with that, we have 1.5 acre yard of invisible freedom to roam! Trained in basic doggie 101-we usually have basic manners and recall in practice for healthy treats and affection-especially for puppies- and can provide a crate, comfy couch or bed if your pup needs a space to retreat. 💕 My only requirement for care in my home is that your dog must get along with other dogs and cats. I will gate the stairs to keep some separation, so if your dog is “cat curious” but intimidating, they will all have their own space to relax. 🐾 I work from home mostly, and have a flexible schedule. Pet care is perfect for my lifestyle! 🌲 We are outside a ton- gardening, hiking, xc skiing, swimming- adventuring on our property and in the surrounding National Forest. 🐾 I would prefer dogs that are good off-leash and have good social skills- I will always keep your dog on leash if I feel they are not okay otherwise. I only take 3 at a time the most, in-addition to my own pup. We live on a very private property with an open yard with an invisible fence system- offering plenty of space to run and play. We have a comfy animal-friendly couch and a screened-in porch with a queen-size bed for your pups to nap outside without being “loose”. I have 2 pups who will be happy to keep your pup company! They will be able to go in and out freely in a natural home setting, (as long as they are okay off leash) and your dog will be cared for like our own. If I visit your home, I would typically have my dog with me to play with yours- unless you specify otherwise. Each visit would be an hour of play and affection, outdoor time, feeding, water, etc.

“We were so lucky to find Emily to care for our dog, Sonny, while we hiked the Lake of the Clouds Hut in August. From the moment we arrived, we knew he was in the best hands. Emily has a warm, welcoming home with plenty of outdoor space for dogs to play and explore. She took Sonny on walks, played ball with him, and even brought him swimming—which he loved! Emily kept us updated regularly with messages and photos, giving us complete peace of mind. It’s clear she genuinely loves dogs and treats them like her own. Sonny was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and we would absolutely trust Emily with him again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for loving, attentive care for their dog.”
