“Highly recommend Janelle and her husband. They took very good care of cinnaman! He was very calm and comfortable when we picked him up. They have a nice fenced in backyard and a nice neighborhood for walks.”
“Noreen and her family so excellent with our family oriented dog Ellie. She was made to feel like she had a second family while we were away. Would be hard pressed to find a better caretaker than Noreen and her family.”
“Jeanne offers a pleasant, safe environment - both inside and outside at her rural Wells home. She exudes confidence with dogs and quickly judges their character, individual needs and compatibility with other canine guests. Her experience with horses reinforces a practical, easy approach to animal care. Our Welsh Terrier loved staying with Jeanne and plans to visit again.”
“Veska and her family took such wonderful care of Bo! We could see from her daily (and often multiple per day) photos and updates that he was as happy and as comfortable as he is at home. Veska truly cared for him like he was one of her own pets. We will definitely be booking with Veska again which, I’m sure Bo will be thrilled about!”

My dog definitely enjoyed her little vacation while we were away. Will definitely use her whenever I'm in the area!”
“This was our first time leaving our dog with a new sitter. Banjo seemed to really enjoy his time at Karen's and the entire process of meeting her, dropping him off, and picking him up was super seamless!”
“I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience! From the moment I met Hannah and her husband, it was clear they have a true love for animals. Hannah is reliable, and went above and beyond in taking care of my dog, Reggie. Throughout the multiple times they watched my dog, they kept me updated with pictures and messages, which made me feel at ease.”
“Nicole was amazing! She sent me messages and pictures of my Riley everyday. This was my puppers first time away from home and was anxious. However, Nicole was able to calm her and she was fine, which calmed my worries. I will definitely be asking her to watch my girl again.”
“Christina was amazing with Minnie!!! They did so much, I can't believe it!! Minnie had an amazing "vacation" away from mom! Lots of play time, care and love!!! I 100% recommend Christina! Thank you again for an easy last minute request!!”

When we are home during the day in good temperatures, the door to the house will be open giving dogs the freedom of where they want to relax or play. I am currently a stay at home Mom to my wonderful twins therefore I have a pretty flexible schedule I can work around, especially if it avoids the kids naps. I have a fenced in backyard that is connected to the house via a screened in porch so there are many options of where to hang out. At night everyone is inside.

“Katie was fantastic while caring for our cats. She was easy to communicate with, always on time, and took great care of them while we were away. One of our cats is very skittish but seemed to actually get along well with her. I would recommend her to anyone for pet care!”
“Jason took great care of Bristle. She has had a history of hissing and hiding from sitters, which has made it difficult to safely ensure she takes her seizure medication. With time and patience, Bristle came right out and felt comfortable enough to take her pill in her food and was even seeking out affection at the end of the third visit. I definitely feel she was in good hands with someone who understood her needs and let her set her own pace. We will be booking again soon!”
“Christine was great with my overactive kitten - she was extremely attentive and made my vacation more relaxing by giving my little guy some much needed daily stimulation and affection. I’ll definitely book again!”
“I’m very attached to my cat and I get nervous leaving him with people but I’m very Pleased with Donna and Kim’s service! I didn’t have to worry once and receiving photos of my little guy made it even better. Definitely recommend this sweet couple.”
“Brynn showed up on schedule and took our big dog Cassie for a walk and then had play time. Cassie seemed very happy in the photos and when we got home. Brynn even cleaned up some vomit on the floor. Will use her again!”
“We felt so at ease having Marion take care of our cat, Norman, when we were out of town! She is an animal lover and took great care of Norman while we were gone. We 100% recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter!”
“Jessica was a fantastic sitter for Woody during my week long vacation. I felt very comfortable with her in charge and Woody really liked her as well. She did everything that was asked of her and she often went above and beyond. She sent pictures and kept up with my trip and even left the lights on for me when I was on my way home. I would certainly book Jessica again and highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve had a cat in my life since I was born. She was a feisty one with everyone but me. She was my baby that I would do anything for. As she got older, she required more intensive care, such as medication, walking assistance, and food assistance. From taking such intense care of her in her last years, it made me realize animal care is in my future. after her passing I started to do in house cat sitting as it made the cats I was taking care of more relaxed. whether it be a feisty cat or a loving cat, I always treated them the same nevertheless. Every day, I fed them twice a day with treats in between freshwater three times a day, clean the litter box, exercise, and cuddle with them (if they wanted to spend time with me). This regimen seemed to be the best for all different cat personality types. I never want to intrude on their space just to make them comfortable while their family is gone.
“Kate was very communicative from our first message. She set up a meet and greet with our cat. She has a lovely demeanor. Our cat came up and allowed her to pet her on her first interaction. Daily texts, photos and videos made it clear that our cat was in good hands. I highly recommend Kate for your pet care!”
“Makenzie was great! She kept me updated throughout my trip, took great care of my cat, and made sure to spend time playing with him while I was away. She also shared lots of great photos, which I loved getting. She really helped ease my anxiety about leaving him and gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in good hands!”
“We were in a pinch & had to leave our cat Sam to stay overnight while we went out of town for a funeral & Beth really helped us out last minute! Affordable price, & she sent lots of updates! When I picked up my sweet boy he was very happy. 10/10 recommend Beth!!”
“Lee was amazing! On time every day and always gave a summary of each visit with photos of our two cats. Lee gave lots of attention to Sally and Charlotte and had no problem administering their medication. We will be booking with Lee again for our next vacation!”
“Clarke was very attentive and took care of my kitties great. They are usually shy with new people but seemed to come out of their shell with her and we're comfortable. I would highly recommend Clarke😻”
“Stephanie was wonderful, she made an effort to set time for a check in before the visit even with a last minute booking on my end. It made me comfortable that my kitty Merli was in good hands. She was timely and took great care of Merli. Thank you, Stephanie!”
“Emerson was great! She showed up on time, and followed instructions to a tea. And had zero problems with my 6 month old Malinois, and other large dog! Even in the pouring rain. Would recommend her for any of your pets needs :)”
“Per usual Shauni and Connor were amazing. They took very good care of our kitties and I did not have to worry at all about them when we were gone. I always go back to them because they are reliable and so kind.”

“Rebecca is fantastic! Stormy had a great day with her and felt right at home. After daycare, Rebecca dropped her off at my house (before I was home) and got her all settled for me. I came home to a happy and tired dog. I loved getting all the pictures and videos and updates!”
“Great experience with Karen! Daisy has done two days of day care with Karen and each one has been wonderful. Daisy played with other dogs and was happy and relaxed each time we picked her up. Karen clearly loves dogs and knows how to look after them. Will definitely ask to book again!”
“Ashley was great with Farley and had other friendly dogs there for Farley to play with. They went on a field trip and dipped in the water and Ashley sent photos throughout the day of Farley having fun. Thanks Ashley!”
“Jeanne was perfect for what I wanted in a dog sitter while visiting a non-dog friendly town. She was flexible about days and hours, she had a safe and cool place for my dog, and she had just the right number of dogs so there was plenty of play time but everyone was looked after. The photo she sent me on my dog’s first day of him asleep on her kitchen floor was all I needed to feel entirely comfortable bringing him back.”
“We had an excellent experience with our dog sitter, Veska. She took amazing care of Oaits and was gentle, attentive, and highly professional throughout. She made sure to understand what Oatis’ needs were by communicating with us and kept us up to date through out the stay. It was clear she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after, and we felt completely at ease knowing Oaits was in such good hands. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate dog sitter.”
“Hannah was excellent. She responded to me quickly—very important when you have left your search til the last day. She was clear, always very nice, calming, and she checked to be sure that my dog, Frances, had a temperament which did not object to the presence of her, evidently mellow, two dogs and one cat—she was just very good at customer service. I felt very secure with my dog staying in her (and her husband’s) care. She (and they) obviously knows and cares for dogs. I had useful feedback from the visit (my dog was fine with her cat—(and dogs)—though she has had very little exposure to cats—so it appears vibes are what count with Frances. ) Hannah was friendly even when I changed my time plans on the actual day, oh-so-gently informing me she would definitely modify whenever she could, but she was dealing as well with other customers’ sometimes conflicting schedules. She was very good!”
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.
About: ***I will be away Oct 11-Nov 12 and will restart on Nov 13*** 🔆Hi! You can call me Jordan! I’m a lifelong animal lover with 12 years of hands-on experience caring for both 🐶 and 🐱 I raised my own rescued dog and cat from just 1 month old and they’re now happy, healthy seniors — so I truly understand the patience, consistency, and love pets need at every stage of life. They’ve moved with me through five cities and three countries. I’ve never given up on them through any stage of my life. 👩🍳 I enjoy cooking nutritious and balanced meals for animals (sometimes for myself ) I love all animals and will learn more knowledge if you need cares for all kinds of pets (chickens, ducks, birds, pigs, etc) 💻 I have been working from home for over 6 years so I will be available everyday! Do not hesitate to contact me on any holidays. Available 7 days a week including all holidays🫡 I will strictly follow all instructions and offer detailed services for them. I will use all the pets knowledge I learnt from books and internet
About: Hello!! I grew up around cats and dogs, starting my first job at 14 as our neighborhood dog walker. I currently have a dog & a cat. I have a lot of experience with dog sitting and spend most of my free time with my pets! I also take care of many family pets when their owners are away. I also have experience caring for small animals such as guinea pigs and rabbits! Wondering why you should pick me over others? I don’t think I’ve ever been around an animal that isn’t genuinely happy to see me or be around me. Your pet will be treated like the prince/princess it is in my presence. Pets are so special, don’t give them anything less than what they deserve! I’m currently part of a medical assistant program that allows me to create my work schedule and have most of my schooling online! I have plenty of free time right now! I do not currently have a fenced in backyard, but do have 40 acres of free roaming space for dogs to roam or be taken on walks around. Also trails nearby for walks. My home itself is always filled with comfy places, lots of toys, and all of our 5 animals get along very well. I have a toddler which has been a big transition but she loves our animals and absolutely enjoys taking care of them like her mom!! I am very particular about giving your pet exceptional care in your home and in mine! I will always make sure they have what they need and are comfortable.
About: Growing up, we always had a dog or two and cats in the house. Each one, a member of the family that are loved and spoiled. I now have a year and a half old English chocolate lab named Errol and two cats, Pepper and Chester who are 12 and 6 years old. I have two teenage daughters, and my youngest works for a dog training and daycare taking care of dogs. Our family loves our pets and I and am excited to share that love with yours! I work full time from home 8:30 am-5:00 pm. I have limited time mid day that I use to do drop-in visits and short walks, and am otherwise available before or after my shift. I work full time from home during the day and my best general availability on the weekends. I can certainly make arrangements for mid day visits or care for a dog at my home during the day. I am always happy to rearrange things, even during the week to meet your family’s needs. I have a large yard and a chocolate lab of my own to keep your dog company. We live to play outside, for walks in the woods, and run around the yard playing in the doggy pool. For more adventurous dogs with some woody experience, our property is on the Lamprey River with access to play and swim.
“Adelle has been wonderful with our boy who suffers from severe separation anxiety. He gets along great with her pups, and he is visibly excited as he gets closer to her house. He comes home absolutelt exhausted after a day at daycare with Adelle! 10/10”
“Alina is terrific! She watched our golden doodle, Winnie, for 6 days over the Fourth of July week. Alina was flexible, easy to deal with, responsible, and loving, and she was so happy to get dropped off each day. We will be returning to Alina!”
“Khaila provided amazing day care for my almost 2 year old cockapoo when I had a long work day. She was patient and gentle with him despite him being a nervous boy at first. Will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Jason is a lifesaver! We are so lucky to have him. He is super reliable, always cheerful and patient. Our dogs aren’t easy, but he handles them in stride and has earned their trust. If you’re looking for someone, Jason is a great choice.”
“Shayla has been a huge help too me with my sweet puppy Remi she is absolutely amazing ! Always on time never canceled on me and treated my dog as her own !!! I will miss her and keep her in mind since my puppy is now going to day care to meet new friends and burn off some of her energy!! 🐶♥️”
“Courtney was wonderful! She was prompt and communicative. She was very considerate of my requests including Blue's hurt toe- so she took Blue on a shorter gentle walk and then gave her some fun time in the yard. I will definitely reach out to Courtney again!”

We would 100% recommend her when you’re in the Kittery/Portsmouth area!”
