“Katie was fantastic! Super helpful and communicative setting everything up for our first time with her. Kept the dogs loved and entertained (including a pool party!) while we were vacationing. And they came home looking better than when we left. Will definitely want to have them spend time with Katie again in the future.”
“Jennifer is an absolute gem. Our pup had fun playing with her and Jennifer made sure to call both the emergency vet and us when he got into some cupcakes. She was just as worried about his well being as us and kept watch. You can count on her to be responsible and take care of your precious furry family members!”
“Mia was well cared for by the whole family. They were available on short notice over a holiday. They accommodated my crazy schedule for pick up and drop off. Mia had plenty of new friends to play with. Thank you so much for your good care of my Mia”
About: I love to make sure your babies are happy, safe and comfortable so that you can enjoy your time away without worry. I’m a teacher/social worker by trade, so I’m patient, kind and caring. Special needs or requests are not an issue. My consistent communication and caring for your pets as my own is what makes me your best choice! I’m a social worker, so I’m off on weekends routinely, which coincides with families wanting time away. Occasionally available weeknights for walks or drop ins. Weekends are more flexible, and I’m usually more available. I generally prefer boarding in my home and my routine is planned around your babies. Their needs are my priority! Happy to provide care in my home for dogs on weekends. Walking trails and small yard. Other dogs are plentiful here, but-I will always keep your dog leashed at all times. I’m not against an occasional pup cup trip but have also respected meat-based, gluten free and hypoallergenic diets as well. Only one dog (family) at a time.
“We were so worried about leaving our dog for the weekend and karen was so great! She reassured us about leaving him and he did great! She sent updates and pictures over the weekend. Karen was absolutely wonderful to our dog and us. We will 100% be using her again!”

“Mack and Dennis had their very first Rover sleep-away with James, and they were welcomed with open arms by his whole family. Everyone was so sweet and hospitable, and his little girl gave them plenty of cuddles, which they absolutely loved. James was incredibly easy to work with. He was responsive, flexible, and genuinely accommodating. I felt completely at ease knowing my boys were in such a warm, caring home. I would absolutely recommend James to anyone looking for a trustworthy, family-oriented sitter. We will happily book with him again.”
About: I know how important it is to find the right person to watch over your pets. My home is a haven for dogs, with a fully fenced-in backyard where they can play, sniff, sunbathe, and explore safely. My Golden Retriever, Marshall, is a sweet and well-loved boy who adores making new friends. He loves to play with other dogs, nap on the couch, and splash in a pool on a hot day. I always make time for my dog whether it’s taking walks during breaks, playing in the yard, enrichment games, or sunbathing time (for the dogs, not me) I have a fully fenced in backyard that always has fresh water for the pups. There’s plenty of toys to play with, shade under a gazebo, and on a hot day, a mini pool to cool off in! The yard is treated with all natural, pet safe flea and tick deterrent.
“Evan was fantastic once again! Flexible with care and pick ups, very responsive and sent pictures with updates everyday!! Charlie is one tired pup after his vacation to Evan’s!! Highly recommend for your pup”
“This is the second Noreen has watched our 3 year old pup, Faye, and we cannot speak high enough about her. She's very responsive, gives great updates, and sends plenty of pictures. Noreen always takes care of Faye exactly as we asked her too and asks questions when she has them. Noreen is a fantastic dog sitter and we would recommend her to anyone!”
“Michelle did an excellent job. She kept me up to date with photos and messages for the 10+ days she was taking care of my dog. I felt totally at ease leaving my dog with her. Would definitely use her again!”
About: I grew up surrounded by pets and have never lived in a house without dogs! My dog Roux, inspired me to turn this passion of mine into a full-time career.

“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!!”
“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 :)”
“Stephanie F. took care of my two cats marvelously. They are shy and particular. Stephanie ensured they were fed, played with, and safe while I was gone. I received updates with each visit. Everything was wonderful.”

About: Hi! My name is Angie, caring for cats has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I've been around cats for my entire life and have over 10 years of pet sitting experience, so I understand that every cat has their own unique personality, preferences, and routine. In addition to pet sitting, I currently work as a veterinary assistant at a local animal hospital. This experience has given me the knowledge and confidence to care for cats with a wide range of needs, including administering medications, injections, and providing extra attention for those with medical conditions. As a cat owner and animal care professional, I know how important it is to leave your pet in the hands of someone you trust. Whether your cat loves to play, enjoys quiet companionship, or prefers their space, I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you're away. My goal is to keep their routine as normal as possible and give you peace of mind through regular updates and plenty of photos. I treat every cat as if they were my own, and I would love the opportunity to get to know yours!

“Karen has been very accommodating with my schedule. Kai had a blast in the massive backyard set up as a doggie heaven. He came home tired! I will definitely use Karen’s services again. Great experience!”
“Sadie and Szymon did a phenomenal job with my Otter! They went on a long walk, and Otter got to play with their dogs in their beautiful yard! They treated Otter like one of their own, and I highly recommend them!”
“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!”
“Gary is outstanding with Otter! Otter has so much fun at Gary's doggie resort that he grabs his 'adventure' bag and brings it to me to remind me it's time to go to Gary's for daycare! I highly recommend him, he is fantastic!”

“My pups loved going to Ashley’s! We had a last minute booking and I am very grateful to have found her. One of my pups is skittish and she took to her right away. You can tell Ashley loves dogs and they love her. Thank you again Ashley!”
“Anna was wonderful, great communication accepting a few last minute bookings! Our pups loved the yard and running around with her dog right when we got there! Will use Annas services again ☺️”
“This was our first time with Jean. We did a day visit. She was very good about showing me around where my dog would be and taking time for both of us to get to know each other. She has good space for dogs inside and out. She has a good sense of dogs and I felt comfortable leaving mine in her care. She sent a photo update during the day which I appreciated. When I picked up my dog he was happy and slept well when we got home. I do recommend Jean and will definitely use her again.”
“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!”
“Karen was kind and very easy going! Our dog is very nervous and he was calm and relaxed by the time we returned. Karen and her partner were very nice. She made our Christmas Eve dinner possible. Highly recommend!”
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.
“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.”

About: I grew up with lots of cats and dogs as a kid and became experienced with taking care of them at a young age. I love playing with and taking care of pets and I'm good at reading their body language and trying to understand what an animal wants and needs. I work freelance remotely so my schedule is flexible and I have plenty of time to check on and care for your pets. I have a reliable car and have no problem coming to your home to care for your pet. I have experience with both cats and dogs and I know how to read their body language and respond to whatever it is that they need.
About: I’ve taken care of a family dog Chihuahua for the past 8 years. I enjoy taking her on walks and giving her all the attention she deserves! I currently am on a job rotation in Maine. I am unable to take the step to caring for a dog full time, but I’d love to fill the void with weekly care! I care for a dog like I’d care for a family member. It’s important for me to create a comfortable environment for the dog to hang around in
“Steph took great care of my two Shibas - meds, walk, water, food, pets. My two dogs aren't the easiest to walk (they aren't great on a leash and one is hesitant around new people). Steph took the time required to treat them as if they were her own. *This was my first time to use Rover. Would definitely recommend Steph!”
“Drew has truly been amazing at taking care of our little puppy ! She has been very easy to communicate with and very flexible. Given that our schedules change frequently. She gives us updates on Callaway and even offered extra help when Callaway was sick. Can’t thank her enough!”
“April, Was amazing with my pup Carlos. She helped us out at the last minute. She really took her time at the meet and greet. It was clear from the start she is passionate about caring for animals. She is very knowledgeable when it comes to how pups react to situations. Carlos was at ease with her. We definitely wound have her walk Carlos again.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals professionally for 10 years, and have had pets my whole life. I have a deep love for animals and have pursued a career in conservation to help protect our wild friends of the woods 🦝 I love animals of all shapes, sizes, and textures, so you can count on me to feed the fish and the lizard while you’re away, too. I have experience with dogs of all breeds, and was a groomer at Petco for a couple of years, so I can also give a pretty good dog bath when they jump into a puddle of mud. Let’s connect and see if we are a good match!! I work part-time in Somersworth and spend my free hours working on my paintings, so I have plenty of extra time to spend loving on your fur babies. I find that animals relax around me when I’m doing my art. My dog loves to lay at my feet and nap while I paint. I offer in-home services including check-ins for being let outside to potty, feeding, and playtime. I usually end up going over the 30 minutes because I feel guilty leaving them haha usually I offer overnight stays as well and can provide walks to most dogs.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life and decided I wanted to work with them. For the past 5 years I’ve worked at a doggy daycare/ boarding facility and wanted to expand my services! I know how to medicate dogs and I’m comfortable working with dog aggressive or people aggressive dogs! I have 2 dogs at home that I play with and do medications so I’m free to stop in whenever needed and I’m even comfortable with dog aggressive dogs as my two are also dog aggressive :) I can come to your house and take your dog on a walk through the neighborhood or if you have woods near by we can take a hike, I can also stop in and check on your pets or even stay with them overnight :)
About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life. A few of our dogs even had puppies. One litter started to be born on my bed. When I was in my early 20's I used to pet sit for my co-workers for extra cash. I currently have 4 dogs and 1 cat of my own. I will take care and love your pets as if they were my own because that is how I would like my pets to be taken care of when I am away. I currently work days but I will be delighted to stop in to check on and or walk your pets in the afternoons and evenings. Whatever your request is I am sure I can handle it. If you need cat boxes to be scooped. Or dog poop to be cleaned up while you are away, I will do it no problem. I have no problem giving your pet cuddles while you are away!
