“I left my 82 lb., 10 year old Bernedoodle with Heather and her family for a seven day stay for the first time last week. I got everything I hoped for and more from Heather and her beautiful family. My dog happily walked in (tail wagging and happy squeeking) and could hang out all week as part of Heather’s family. Heather sent a few pics of Scooby in the kitchen with her family—just where my dog loves to be. I would absolutely leave my dog with Heather again.”
“My anxious dog loves spending the night with Kim. She’s always excited when we get there and I can leave knowing she’s happy and in good hands. So happy to have a great sitter!”
“Suzanne was exactly what we were hoping for when we decided to try Rover. She was very flexible with some last minute change of plans and the communication was excellent. I would definitely use her again and absolutely recommend her to anyone that needs a responsible sitter for their dog(s).”
“I feel so comfortable leaving my dog with Janelle and Bob! They are so caring and loving! They have a great set up with a fenced in backyard! I know that my dog is safe and well cared for when I'm away. I would highly recommend them to care for your fur babies!”
“We would definitely recommend Jane to care for pets. She is warm and friendly and our Bella was well cared for. She sent an update and photo while we were away which was really appreciated.”
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
“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.”
“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.”
“ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Christy is the best! I was so hesitant to leave Moo with someone he didn’t know but she definitely helped me feel more comfortable with it. She kept me in the loop with pictures everyday of his walks and him hanging out with the family! I definitely recommend Christy to anyone looking to make sure their pup has a great time, while making it so you can enjoy your vacation worry free.”
“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!”
“Lucia is amazing! My 13 yr year old has so much anxiety and has never been away from home. I always had someone come to the house. Lucia comforted Bella and Luna played outside in her big fenced in yard with her. Got pictures daily and Bella had a great stay. Thank you Lucia for taking such care of my Bella.”
“Grace was amazing! She was able to accommodate our dog's personality quirks and we were able to rest easy while Basil stayed with her. She was kind and attentive and gave updates on how our pup was doing. Thanks to Grace we were able to fully relax and enjoy the family wedding we were in town for! I only wish we lived closer so she could be our regular pet sitter!”
“Minda was fantastic! She was so communicative, great at sending updates & pictures, and my pup came back happy, healthy, and well-fed. Minda was also very considerate about helping my pup acclimate to a new environment, which I loved because my dog gets a little nervous when she's dropped off for sitting. I will absolutely book Minda again!”
“Steve is awesome! He’s so nice and really knows his stuff when it comes to dogs. He sent lots of photos and kept us updated throughout the stay, which made me feel great while Mango was with him. Mango had a really good time and came home happy and tired. We’ll definitely be booking with Steve again!”
“We loved working with Isabella to take care of our sweet fur baby. She immediately put our new dog parent worries at ease by applying effective, efficient communication and giving photos/updates throughout his boarding experience. Would highly recommend to others and will use her services again in the future.”
“Our 4 year old Labradoodle started have anxiety at the kennels we brought him too. We tried Ben and Laura and it was a great experience. Goobah got along great with their beautiful dogs and loved being able to go on the furniture to get comfy. Thank you so much for providing a wonderful home for our buddy while we were away!!! We will definitely book in the future with you.”
“Andrea is very attentive and caring and has a wealth of knowledge and experience with dogs. She was sensitive to the needs of my elderly pup and went the extra mile to accommodate her. I highly recommend Andrea.”

“Kim is incredible. She is reliable, loving with our cat, and communicates very well. She braved snowy roads to come to our house when we were gone for an extra day due to weather. Highly recommend!”
“Holly is a wonderful pet caretaker. She is flexible and reliable. I am extremely thankful to have Holly, making drop in visits on my cats . She gives them a lot of love and attention and goes above and beyond with every detail of their care. Very thankful to know I can go away and have Holly looking after my pets. It gives me such peace of mind.”
“Lilly is such a wonderful caregiver for our dog Bailey and I’m so thankful for her! Bailey needs multiple oral medications to control seizures, and requires them to be given in a certain way at a specific time. Lilly has been great about giving Bailey these medications as directed. I feel completely confident in Lilly’s ability to care for Bailey’s special needs. Lilly is very patient and kind, and it’s clear that Bailey really enjoys it when Lilly takes care of her!! Thank you Lilly!!”
About: I’ve had a cat my whole life- life just wouldn’t be complete without them! I am very familiar with their mannerisms, although like us, I know they each have their own personalities! Love spending time playing and caring for these mischievous bundles of love.
About: I have owned cats as far back as my memory goes. Currently have a Torti Senior gal, who just wants peace and quiet, while her new housemate, my 1 or old short hair orange wild, instinctual Terror tests everyone's patience daily!
“Hailey looked in on our 2 cats every day while we were on vacation, and I could tell they were well cared for when we came back. She was very responsive and provided photos every day. When our flight home got cancelled, she even came an extra day which relieved some of the travel stress! Definitely recommend, and I would book her again for cat care. Thanks Hailey!”
“Jane took great care of our furr-babies. She sent some pictures, were sure they were exercised/played with and cleaned up an “accident”. Your pets are in good hands with Jane!”
“Kate takes great care of my cats. She is attentive, dependable, spends time playing with them, not just feeding them, and always send me lots of pictures. I recommend her highly.”
“This was my first time using Cloud after my regular sitter had to relocate. Cloud came highly recommended and it shows. She was patient with my semi-feral baby girl and loving with my big cuddly boy. She went above and beyond to ensure they were fed, cleaned up after and had treats to make it through. Cloud was extremely responsive and timely with her arrivals to see my babies. I’ve already rebooked her for my next few days of travel!”
About: I’ve been around cats for most of my life and have experience caring for friends’ cats while they’re away. I’m also a proud auntie to several beloved “nephew and niece” cats who hold a special place in my heart. I love the unique personalities that cats have and understand that each one has different needs and preferences. Whether a cat is playful and social or more independent and reserved, I’m happy to provide the care, attention, and routine that helps them feel safe, comfortable, and secure while their owners are away.
About: I‘ve been house sitting and taking care of animals since I was 13. For friends, family, and people from the community I live in. I have taken care of all sorts of different animals of all sizes, so I feel like I have quite a bit of experience in this line of work! I don’t currently do boarding in my own house, but am capable of letting dogs/animals out and making sure they are safe and well looked after. I work five days a week, Monday through Friday from 2-530pm, at an after school program so my hours are pretty flexible when it comes to being able to do drop in visits as well as house sitting. My schedule does change during the summer time as I work as a full time summer camp counselor. Typically goes from mid June till mid August. I am able to crate dogs if need be! I also am able to handle large dogs, as I’ve had a Saint Bernard in the past and have taken care of Cane Corso and Great Danes. I love to give cuddles and play time!!
About: I’m offering drop in visits and dog walking. I grew up around horses and owned dogs throughout my life. I currently have a 5 year old dog who I have had since he was 10 weeks old.

I can honestly say i feel very confident leaving rico in Sarah's hands!”
“Leah did a fantastic job caring for my three cats. She was communicative and provided photos of the cats from every visit, which put my mind at ease. Leah also accommodated an adjustment on the last visit date, which I appreciated.”

“Thank you Kim for taking care of Stella so well. I could tell right away that Stella felt very comfortable with you. The pictures tell the story. For a somewhat anxious dog, Stella looks relaxed with not a care in the world. Thank you for agreeing to board Stella in October. I have no doubt that she will be well cared for. I won’t hesitate to recommend you to my family and friends Thank you”
“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!”
“My husband & I got to ski for the day and go out to dinner and Brady got to spend the day with a nice family who had an adorable dog for him to place with, as well as two small children. Britany was very easy going and professional. What a great overall experience ?”
“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.”
“Alina was so fantastic! We spent a few minutes introducing our dogs on drop off. Then I was off and Daisy was taken on an awesome adventure walking all around Portsmouth. By the time I picked her up, Daisy, normally full of energy, had clearly had a good time and was ready for a nap, a rare sight.”
“Christy was so great and caring with Louie! It was truly a worry-free time for us when we had an event that didn’t accommodate dogs. Next time we’re in the area, we would have no hesitation to call on Christy again!”

About: I have had a dog at least 20 years. We occasionally have a Labrador a week at a time, he has full run of the house. I do not work, so I am home most of the time. I do local Arts Markets, but those aren't long days. A dog would get lots of attention. I have a fenced in back yard that has plenty of room for playing. The house is one floor, which would be easier on older dogs.
“Our puppy had the best time with Greta! She went on lots of walks and loved hanging out with the other doggos. She was super happy and tired at the end of the day! Definitely will book again. Thanks Greta!”
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
“Darrion was a great pet sitter for our dog, Baxter! She was easy to communicate with and very friendly & easy going. We appreciated the tour of her house & yard as well as a meet & greet with her dogs and cat upon arrival, as it made us feel at ease about leaving Baxter with her. The text and photo updates throughout the day were reassuring as well. Baxter enjoyed playing with her dogs and cat. He was tired but happy when we picked him up, so we were happy as well!”

About: Hi! My name is Charlotte. My boyfriend, our blue heeler pup and I just moved from Dover to Chichester. We decided it was time to upgrade Kota from a condo to a big yard. Safe to say, she loves it. Our house is located on about an acre, but far away from any main roads. We have no traffic on our cul-de-sac making it the perfect area for our girl to go outside and play. My schedule rotates and I am typically working a hybrid schedule. For the days that I am home, I am looking to watch a few pups to give other dog parents affordable pricing, but also give Kota and opportunity to play. When I go into the office, Kota goes to a doggy daycare more towards Dover. The socialization is amazing for her. So we want to give other pups the same opportunity. Feel free to message me with any questions about our house, Kota, myself or anything else. Can’t wait to meet your fur baby! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to be fully present and attentive to the pets I care for throughout the day. Since my Blue Heeler is still a puppy, I’m already used to planning my day around potty breaks, playtime, walks, and training sessions—so adding another furry friend into the mix is something I’m well prepared for. Your pet will get plenty of love, attention, and care, no matter the time of day! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my goal is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In my home: I offer a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for play, rest, and attention. I follow each pet’s routine closely—mealtimes, walks, medication if needed, and play—so they feel right at home. I make sure they get plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and of course, cuddles and affection! In a client’s home: I’m respectful of your space and your pet’s usual routine. I maintain consistency with feeding schedules, walk times, and any specific care instructions you provide. I make sure your pet feels secure in their familiar environment, and I keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can feel at ease while you're away.
“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!”
“Althea took care of my border Collie, Melon, for the day, and had a great time in the snow, playing, and napping with the other pups. Got lots of pictures. Very flexible for dropoff/pickup and very responsive”

“We absolutely love Lisa, my golden retriever and 2 maine coons look forward to her visits when we can’t be home. Lisa is punctual, trustworthy and detailed oriented, she’s a very caring person and we appreciate her.”
About: I’ve cared for all kinds of animals — dogs, cats, chickens, fish, bunnies, and even goats! I grew up surrounded by pets, from dogs and cats to chickens in the backyard, so taking care of animals has always been second nature to me. I also volunteer at a local animal shelter, where I walk and care for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I genuinely love connecting with animals and getting to know their unique quirks and routines. Whether it’s going on walks, feeding, playtime, or just giving them some extra love and attention, I always make sure each pet feels safe, happy, and cared for like they’re my own. Pet care is already a big part of my weekly routine! I volunteer at an animal shelter where I walk dogs, so spending time with animals is something I do regularly and genuinely enjoy. Between school and work, I make time each day for walks, playtime, and giving pets the attention they need. I love building those little moments of connection into my day whether it’s an early morning walk, a quick drop-in visit, or evening cuddles after dinner. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I treat them and their space with the same respect and attention I would my own. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special instructions to make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you are away. I always take time to give them affection, keep them active, and make sure they are happy and relaxed. I also keep things tidy and make sure your home is just as you left it. Communication is very important to me, so I send updates and photos during each visit so you can feel confident that your pet is well cared for.
“Kim was punctual, attentive, and responsive to the needs of all my animals — even my not-so-friendly senior. Her calm and confident demeanor immediately put both me and my more timid Lab at ease. It’s clear she genuinely cares and has the experience to handle a variety of personalities with patience and skill. A sincere sorry from Levi and a big thank you from Otto!!”
About: I always had dogs and cats at home while growing up. I took care of them since I was a child, and I have taken care of friends' pets, including senior dogs, for weeks at a time. Caring for animals is one of my favorite things to do; I would be happy to help with your pet too! My work has extremely flexible hours. A few one-hour meetings per week are the only rigid parts of my schedule, and I can easily help your pet (for 30 or 60 minutes) before and after these meetings. I'm happy to care for your pet on weekdays and weekends. I will respect your home and only use it as needed to care for your pet and help them feel comfortable. Let me know of any specific requests (e.g., stay out of certain rooms, keep pet off of furniture) and I will happily fulfill them.
“Thank you, Lilly, for such a great first visit with Bailey!! We really appreciated your help with her, and that you could stay the entire time to hang out with her. Thank you for being on time and giving her all of her meds as instructed. That reliability is so important and we will definitely be booking with you again soon!”

About: I have spent lots of time with a family dog and have been a sitter for several breeds over the years, often through friends and family. I am always over the moon to meet and spoil (to the owners comfort) a new furry freind! I am currently a graduate student which allows me the flexibility to schedule quality walks and play time with your pups! I typically work from home 50% of the work week, so getting out for a walk in between computational work is a win win! As a dog walker I will make sure your pup has a positive high quality walking experience. If I am sitting, I will ensure all fur babies get the level attention and care they need to feel safe and happy.
About: Your furry friend deserves more than just a sitter—they deserve a new best friend! 🐾 I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. Whether your pup is energetic and playful or prefers a calm, cozy routine, I tailor my care to match their personality and needs. I provide loving, reliable care that keeps tails wagging and owners worry-free. From playtime to cuddles, your furry friend will feel right at home while you’re away. I’m attentive to details like feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special instructions you provide. You can expect regular updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your dog is in good hands. I work part time at dunks which makes my schedule flexible so that allows me to provide dependable care throughout the week. I am typically available mornings, evenings, and weekends, with additional availability on select weekdays depending on prior bookings. I plan my schedule to ensure each pet receives consistent attention, timely feedings, walks, and companionship. For pets requiring multiple visits per day, I can accommodate early morning, midday, and evening check-ins when arranged in advance. Because I work part-time, I am able to dedicate focused, unrushed time to each visit, making sure pets feel comfortable, cared for, and well looked after. I always communicate availability clearly and provide updates to ensure smooth scheduling and peace of mind for pet owners. My grandfather, Sid Lovett, was instrumental in my decision to make a career out of caring for animals. Safety and well-being are my top priorities. I monitor pets for any changes in behavior or health and communicate updates regularly, including photos and messages for peace of mind. I also ensure the home remains secure and follow any specific instructions provided by the owner. My goal is to make each pet feel comfortable and cared for, just as they would with their family.
“Kate showed up on time and adjusted the walk based on the temperature and what was safe for my pup. She spent time with her and gave her attention (pets and lickimats) after her walks. She clearly communicated (during initial discussions and after each visit) and made sure she knew what she needed to do. She also sent lots of pictures. I'll definitely work with her again!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have experience providing overnight pet and house sitting for stays ranging from a week to 10 days at a time. I’ve also helped family and friends with basic dog training and behavior support. As a lifelong animal lover, I genuinely enjoy the companionship dogs bring and love keeping them active, engaged, and happy through walks, outdoor adventures, hikes, playtime, and plenty of affection. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. As a small business owner with a flexible schedule and a few part-time commitments, I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, cat care, feeding, and house sitting, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. While I occasionally need to step away for client appointments, I am typically gone for no more than 4–5 hours at a time and always make sure pets receive timely meals, potty breaks, exercise, and attention. I appreciate advance notice whenever possible so I can plan accordingly, though I may be able to accommodate same-day requests depending on availability. When caring for pets, I like to take time to get to know each animal and build trust at their own pace. I believe every pet has a unique personality, so I try to follow their lead and create a calm, comfortable environment where they feel safe and secure. Depending on the pet’s needs and temperament, I provide enrichment through playtime, walks, outdoor time, and plenty of affection. Whether a pet is energetic and social or more reserved and independent, my goal is always the same: to ensure they feel cared for, content, and as comfortable as possible while their owner is away.

I care for dogs in their own home by following their usual routine, providing safe walks, fresh water, feeding as instructed, and lots of attention. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and communication, and I always send updates after each visit.
About: I’ve had fur siblings all of my life and have never had any issues providing the best care, making sure they are well loved and fed and keeping them active. I’ll provide the best care and help out tidying up the home while you are away. Although I am new to pet sitting I will strive to make sure all of your animals are well cared for under my services. I look forward to hearing from you! I’m located in the Lakes region and I am willing to travel further on my days off. I do have a full time job but my days off rotate. If you are interested in using my services, reaching out about a week or 2 in advanced would be best so I can accommodate my schedule to yours! If you need a longer stay I can definitely make that happen with more of a heads up. I feed and water my cats before and after my shift. When I come home on my lunch I bring out some of their favorite toys and play until I have to head back to work. When I get home we have more playtime and I feed them dinner. Before bed I make sure all of their water bowls and food bowls are full, I clean their litter boxes 4-5 times a week (fill as needed) and do a deep clean once every 2 weeks to keep things fresh.

“I left my 82 lb., 10 year old Bernedoodle with Heather and her family for a seven day stay for the first time last week. I got everything I hoped for and more from Heather and her beautiful family. My dog happily walked in (tail wagging and happy squeeking) and could hang out all week as part of Heather’s family. Heather sent a few pics of Scooby in the kitchen with her family—just where my dog loves to be. I would absolutely leave my dog with Heather again.”
“My anxious dog loves spending the night with Kim. She’s always excited when we get there and I can leave knowing she’s happy and in good hands. So happy to have a great sitter!”
“Suzanne was exactly what we were hoping for when we decided to try Rover. She was very flexible with some last minute change of plans and the communication was excellent. I would definitely use her again and absolutely recommend her to anyone that needs a responsible sitter for their dog(s).”
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
“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.”
“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.”
“ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Christy is the best! I was so hesitant to leave Moo with someone he didn’t know but she definitely helped me feel more comfortable with it. She kept me in the loop with pictures everyday of his walks and him hanging out with the family! I definitely recommend Christy to anyone looking to make sure their pup has a great time, while making it so you can enjoy your vacation worry free.”
“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!”
“Lucia is amazing! My 13 yr year old has so much anxiety and has never been away from home. I always had someone come to the house. Lucia comforted Bella and Luna played outside in her big fenced in yard with her. Got pictures daily and Bella had a great stay. Thank you Lucia for taking such care of my Bella.”
“Grace was amazing! She was able to accommodate our dog's personality quirks and we were able to rest easy while Basil stayed with her. She was kind and attentive and gave updates on how our pup was doing. Thanks to Grace we were able to fully relax and enjoy the family wedding we were in town for! I only wish we lived closer so she could be our regular pet sitter!”
“Minda was fantastic! She was so communicative, great at sending updates & pictures, and my pup came back happy, healthy, and well-fed. Minda was also very considerate about helping my pup acclimate to a new environment, which I loved because my dog gets a little nervous when she's dropped off for sitting. I will absolutely book Minda again!”
“Steve is awesome! He’s so nice and really knows his stuff when it comes to dogs. He sent lots of photos and kept us updated throughout the stay, which made me feel great while Mango was with him. Mango had a really good time and came home happy and tired. We’ll definitely be booking with Steve again!”
“We loved working with Isabella to take care of our sweet fur baby. She immediately put our new dog parent worries at ease by applying effective, efficient communication and giving photos/updates throughout his boarding experience. Would highly recommend to others and will use her services again in the future.”
“Our 4 year old Labradoodle started have anxiety at the kennels we brought him too. We tried Ben and Laura and it was a great experience. Goobah got along great with their beautiful dogs and loved being able to go on the furniture to get comfy. Thank you so much for providing a wonderful home for our buddy while we were away!!! We will definitely book in the future with you.”
“Andrea is very attentive and caring and has a wealth of knowledge and experience with dogs. She was sensitive to the needs of my elderly pup and went the extra mile to accommodate her. I highly recommend Andrea.”
“I’m am so glad we found you! My baby had so much fun with your family. She slept the whole night, which is not the usual for her. She usually wakes me up at 3/4 in the morning to play before I go to work. I would definitely recommend Michelle!”
“Ann is not just a dog-sitter. She is someone who understands every dog is different, and gives special attention to meet their needs and make sure they are loved. She spent extra time to sooth our nervous rescue dog Cleo, and bring her out of her shell until she was comfortable running around playing with the other sweet dogs at Ann’s home. She has a perfect set-up with nice backyard, and lounging area inside with lots of sun. Her many updates and photos gave us peace-of-mind that our dog was happy and well cared for during our time away. We will definitely be back!”
“Taylor was AMAZING! She was so sweet and easy to work with, very accommodating for some last minute changes in our trip and my cat and dog loved her and felt so comfortable with her! She sent pictures and videos of our pets every day and I felt so at ease leaving our pets with her. You can definitely trust your pets with her!”
