“If you want a sitter that will love your dog as much as you do, then Jeff is who you want caring for your fur baby. I was so nervous leaving our pup with someone overnight for the first time but Jeff was so friendly and so kind, I immediately felt comfortable. Jeff is proactive at sending helpful instructions and also sent pics of our pup during her stay which made me so happy and relieved to see her having so much fun. Thank you Jeff for being so amazing to our precious Tilly.”

“I cannot recommend Stephen enough. He took amazing care of our Buddy while we were away. He communicated and sent us videos and updates every day. He was cautious when introducing Buddy to the other dogs in his care and we had a meet and greet prior to the stay which I appreciate, he goes above and beyond to make sure the dogs in his care are compatible to keep all dogs safe. I look forward to using him in the future and I know Buddy will too. You can see that dogs in Stephens care are treated as his own and that is so comforting when leaving your dog in his care.”

“Annette provided wonderful, loving care for our 2 year old dog, Sweet Pea. She treats the dogs with the love and care she does for her own. I wouldn't hesitate to bring Sweet Pea back again.”

“I recently had Cherissa watch over my mini Goldendoodle, Sofia, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very first interaction, she was professional, kind, and clearly passionate about animals. Cherissa and her family took the time to get to know Sofia’s routine, preferences, and any special needs, which made me feel totally at ease. While I was away, she provided regular updates—including photos and messages—which really reassured me that my pet was happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Cherissa and her family to anyone looking for reliable and compassionate pet care. I’ll definitely be booking with them again in the future!”

“Donna was great. She treated my dog like he was her own. I felt extremely confident that Guinness was being very well taken care of. Guinness came home very happy but tired from all the fun he had playing with Donna's dogs. I will definitely use Donna and her services again. I'm very happy. I found her thank you so much.”

“Brittany was wonderful with Cody. He is not used to be separated from us so we knew that he would be a challenge. I am happy with the treatment that Cody received and if the occasion occurs we will book with Brittany again.”

“Mildred and her family were incredibly wonderful to Luna and to me! They lived her like their own, and even fell IN love with her! I had lots of pictures from her even showing her lying on of the beds being pet. Luna is anxious and they either with her to warm up, there are two couples in the house and her son and they all take care of the dogs. What a wonderful place to leave your pup.”

“Volha was great to our dog. She sent me pictures on a regular basis while he was in her care. Her daughter was super sweet to our dog as well, which was awesome. Thanks for everything Volha!”

“Dew was fantastic! Her communication was great, she made sure my dog was comfortable and settled in. She sent status updates throughout his stay. He came home unstressed and in a great mood all happy and healthy. I would highly recomend her to anyone looking for dog care!”

“I had taken Farley to the vet the afternoon before his stay. Turns out they had to sedate him and he had an infection in his paw. Loretta was AMAZING with him. I felt horrible for leaving still not totally with it yet and Loretta stayed with him, sent me constant updates and even fell asleep on the couch with him❤️ I highly recommend Loretta and I’m so grateful for the way she takes care of my dog!”

“Maria was awesome!! Thank you so much! It’s the first time we have every left Bubby and we went away with peace of mind he was well being taking care of! She would send updates and pictures randomly to show us bubby was having a good time! Thank you again!”

“I am so happy to have found Clementina. She is lovely and warm and took such very good care of Ezzy. She has a huge backyard and a dogpark nearby and Ezzy got great exercise daily. She sent me lots of pics and was flexible and accommodating when I asked if Ezzy could stay a little longer than I had planned. Her daughter also was there and Ezzy kissed everyone goodbye when we left and wagged furiously. 5 stars.”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the moment we met, it was clear that Erika genuinely loves animals and takes the responsibility seriously. She treated Bowie like a member of her own family, making sure that he was not only well cared for but also happy, comfortable, and loved while we were away. Communication was outstanding throughout our trip. We received regular updates, photos, and videos that gave us complete peace of mind. It was obvious that Bowie was getting plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. It’s such a relief to know we have someone we can trust completely with Bowie. Her professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail exceeded every expectation. We wholeheartedly recommend Erika to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and exceptional dog sitter. We will absolutely be booking with her again, and we know Bowie can’t wait for the next visit!”


“Athena, watched my two pups for 5 days! She was great, she came to pick up and drop the pups. She sent me daily photos and updates of them! Very friendly and my pups spent a great time with her! I highly recommend!”

“It is truly difficult not to repeat my prior review about Nicole because she is amazing. Her warmth and compassion relieved all my anxiety of having Shaq stay with her for a week. My Shaq, little French Bulldog had royal treatment at her house. Besides that Nicole is a perfect match to care for Shaq her property is ideal for Shaq to run around in her backyard safely. It is completely fenced in and plenty of places to rest. Nicole also kept me updated everyday with pictures and texts. The world needs more people like Nicole and I am so grateful to have met her. As long as Nicole willing to watch and be available for Shaq then I will be at peace when I am away. Thank you again Nicole”

“Kenniqua was incredible! She took my request last minute due to a family emergency, and she really eased the stress of that weekend. Our dog was happy, got to sleep on the bed, and got walks. Her space was calm and her dog Honey was a sweetie. Kenniqua provided updates and wonderful communication. Will definitely ask Kenniqua to care for my pup again. Thank you for helping us out, Kenniqua!!”

“We were extremely happy with our experience! Ryan was knowledgeable and attentive to our dog. We received many updates and pictures while we were away which we really appreciated. He was even willing to bathe him after a run in with a mud puddle. 😅 We’ll definitely be repeat customers.”

He’s always punctual, and after just two walks, Bowser is already so excited to see him! It’s hard to find someone you can truly trust with your dog, and Stephen is definitely that person. Highly recommend!”


About: I’ve grown up my whole life with cats. They are my absolute favorite animals, and they’re all so unique. I work at an animal rescue that helps dogs and cats. I am ASPCA certified to work with animals, and I have the knowledge to understand their body language. I have experience with measuring, and administering medications (PO, SQ, OD/OS, etc.). Your cat(s) comfort, health, and care are my top priority, and I can’t wait to meet them!
“Barbara took wonderful care of my shy cat! She was patient, kind, and sent lovely updates and photos. I really appreciated how thoughtful she was in dealing with my cat's shyness - it is clear that she loves cats and pays close attention to each of their quirks and needs. I recommend her without hesitation!”


About: As a college student who truly loves animals, I bring a calm, patient, and attentive approach to caring for cats. I understand that cats can have very different personalities, so I always take the time to make them feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I have experience with daily care routines such as feeding, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, and giving lots of attention (or space, depending on the cat’s preference). What sets me apart is my ability to read animal behavior and adjust my care to each cat’s needs. I’m comfortable caring for both playful kittens and more independent or senior cats who may need a gentler approach. I am also very reliable and detail-oriented, ensuring routines are followed exactly as instructed. I will keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your cat is well cared for while you’re away. I have 3 cats of my own as well.
About: I have taken care of my own pets as well as pets of family and friends. I currently have two dogs, Sargent and Spock, and a cat named Chip. I love all animals and most pets warm up to me right away :)) I am currently home in between the college semesters. I am going into my junior year at Saint Anselm College in Manchester, NH as a Psychology and Criminal Justice Double Major. I am currently taking one online class and need work in between homework 😁 I am unable to bring pets to my own home due to my dogs and cat; however, I love to play with dogs outside. Normally, I play with a dog outside, getting them to run around a bit, for as long as they can until they are ready to stop playing. Once the dog is ready to stop playing, I find dogs love to sit in the sun on a sunny day and I will sit outside with the dog until it is time to leave.
About: Hi my name is Cory! I love dogs and they seem to know it right away. I have been around dogs since I was 4 years old. I have owned 2 akitas and an English bulldog . My latest Akita Diablo passed away 5 years ago and I haven't gotten another dog since his passing so currently I have no dogs. I only have chinchillas and a hamster as of now. I have a lot of experience working with dogs and they seem to feel relaxed and comfortable when in my care, making this the perfect job for me. I know how to approach these animals in a way that is non-threatening to reduce their anxiety and to help them relax. I can help to maintain the routine they are used to, so they will not get anxious or feel so alone while their owners are away. I have extensive knowledge concerning the different breeds of dogs and I know how to take care of them properly. I understand that some breeds have special needs and that the age of the dog will play a major role in how to take care of them. You can depend on me to provide excellent service and to take great care of your dog/dogs. I know what questions to ask to make sure I understand their specific needs. I will be full time dedicated to your furry child, providing walks and play time as much as needed! There is nothing I wouldn't do to make your dog feel comfortable and keep their schedule to your liking. Please provide a list with your dog's habits so I can make sure they feel at home. Don't hesitate to contact me, I am very flexible with my time, and I will love and care for your dog as my own. I'm currently off from work during the summer and during the school year I only work part time at an elementary school down the road from me (2 1/2 hrs) , So I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I will do anything to make your pup feel comfortable and at home away from home during his stay with me. I love detailed instructions so please feel free to let me know everything about your pet! I have a fenced in yard and 2 children who are huge dog lovers who would love to keep your dog(s) busy and keep them company!
“It was such a great decision to have Gladys and Liani take care of our cats! They proved to be extremely responsive, reliable, and punctual. When there was a car accident along the way, Gladys even checked in to let us know they would be a few minutes late. What really made Gladys and Liani stand apart from other sitters was their enthusiasm. It didn't seem like taking care of pets is just a job -- it seems that they genuinely love animals. Separately, while others made the initial scheduling process overly complicated, it was really easy to arrange everything with Gladys. Gladys and Liani earned our highest recommendation!”

“Wanda welcomes my pups warmly each time. They really enjoy all the play time including with her super sweet pup. No matter how much energy they come with she always tires them out. She has made them feel comfortable. They anxiously jump out of the car to greet her each time. We are really happy and will continue to use Wanda.”

“Briana was amazing! We came from California to NY and was our first time traveling with Miklo. It was a great experience! I would totally recommend her to anyone looking for a good pet nanny in the Patterson area, she was super sweet and very communicative and from the looks of it my pup looked like he had the best time!! It was my first time using Rover, but thanks to this experience I’m looking forward to booking again! Thanks Briana!! <3”

About: I've loved caring for dogs since I was young and have experience looking after pets for family, friends, and neighbors.

About: I have been pet sitting dogs for over 7 years! When a dog comes into my home they are part of the family and have free range of the house. We do not crate board unless that’s what the owner wants. Caring, calm and cozy home for your dogs next stay! I am a stay at home mom that loves animals. So caring for dogs and other pets is just another part of my daily routine! I provide care exactly how the owner wants. Feeding and walking schedules are done as requested by the owner! I can administer medication if needed and any other service that may be requested. I am flexible and caring, and can adjust to any needed routine!

About: As a college student who genuinely loves animals, I bring both enthusiasm and responsibility to every pet I care for. I have experience watching and caring for dogs of different sizes and temperaments, and I’m very comfortable with daily routines like feeding, walking, playtime, and basic grooming. What sets me apart is my patience and attention to each dog’s individual needs—I understand that every pet has their own personality and comfort level. I’m especially attentive to safety and making sure dogs feel comfortable and happy while their owners are away. I can handle energetic dogs who need lots of exercise as well as older dogs who require a gentler approach and extra care. I’m also dependable, communicative, and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know your pet is in good hands. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care. I’m available most weekdays around my classes and have open availability on weekends. I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I’m happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pet gets consistent care, attention, and companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In your home, I will follow all care instructions closely, maintain your pet’s normal routine, and ensure a calm, clean, and secure environment.

“If you want a sitter that will love your dog as much as you do, then Jeff is who you want caring for your fur baby. I was so nervous leaving our pup with someone overnight for the first time but Jeff was so friendly and so kind, I immediately felt comfortable. Jeff is proactive at sending helpful instructions and also sent pics of our pup during her stay which made me so happy and relieved to see her having so much fun. Thank you Jeff for being so amazing to our precious Tilly.”

“I cannot recommend Stephen enough. He took amazing care of our Buddy while we were away. He communicated and sent us videos and updates every day. He was cautious when introducing Buddy to the other dogs in his care and we had a meet and greet prior to the stay which I appreciate, he goes above and beyond to make sure the dogs in his care are compatible to keep all dogs safe. I look forward to using him in the future and I know Buddy will too. You can see that dogs in Stephens care are treated as his own and that is so comforting when leaving your dog in his care.”
