“Mike was great at communicating leading up to and during the boarding. Our dog Frankie warmed up to Mike and his wife Sherri very quickly. She got lots of exercise and was in such a happy mood when we picked her up. We were very happy to meet Mike and will be excited to have Frankie visit again.”
“Maria is an amazing sitter. If you are reading this review, book her services now! Maria watched my pup Milo for a week. She fell in love with him, showering him with love, treats and affection. She regularly sent updates on how he was doing, and took him out for beach walks. We scheduled a meet and greet to make sure Milo would get along with her pups. They got along fabulously and her dogs are so affectionate and sweet. Maria is also flexible with arranging pick up and drop off times which is greatly appreciated. Milo usually has some trouble eating when he is away from me. Maria quickly figured out how to soothe his anxiety and got him to eat quickly. When I came back Milo was clearly happy to see me, but also looked like he had had fun, rest and lovely time. I will book with Maria again and again! I highly recommend her as a sitter.”
“James was great! We only gave him a six-day notice but he was able to do a meet & greet and book us within that time frame. Our dogs hadn't been boarded since they were a few months old so they were a little anxious and nervous, but I felt like they were in good hands while we were away for several days. Very reasonable cost. If your dog(s) can be left alone for the work day, I recommend.”
“Thank you for taking excellent care of Plum!! It was a big help knowing she was in great hands with people who care about her. She’s looking forward to returning! Thank you!”
“This was our first time leaving our dog Charlie since we lost her big brother, so we were a little nervous. Kevin and Kandace were amazing and very quickly set us at ease! We loved getting pictures to regularly update us on her adventures with them, and she came home happy as can be! Will definitely be booking again in the future :)”
“Kirsten was gracious enough to take Biscuit with less than 1 week notice because she had the availability. Thank you for doing the meet-and-greet with such short notice as well as allowing me to extend a day when I had to stay on my trip longer. Most importantly Biscuit was happy when I picked her up!”
“Rachael was great. She provided me regular updates on my pup while he stayed with her, which I very much appreciated. She also responded to any and all of my communications quickly and was very flexible. Would definitely recommend.”
“Scooby was treated like a king! Kayla’s kids always made sure he was nice and comfortable. Her husband took him on runs and he was made to feel like part of the family. We will definitely use Kayla again.”
“Brenda took wonderful care of our dog, Zelda, during our 4 day trip. Zelda can be a finicky eater and also chews up paper, so leaving her with a caring and attentive Rover really helps us be able to travel with ease. Zelda did great under Brenda's care, and came home happy and healthy. I definitely recommend booking with Brenda and will rebook in the future! Thank you so much!”
“I was so grateful to Charis for her accepting my last minute booking request when I realized my hotel wouldn’t accept pets. She was clearly very experienced with dogs, and sat on the floor with Georgia until she got more comfortable. Thank you so much for taking care of my pup!”
“Colleen and her husband were perfect. It’s clear they understand dogs and know how to make them feel comfortable. Odin enjoyed our initial visit, and when we came back two months later for the drop off it was clear he was excited and happy to be there. We will absolutely ask them to watch Odin again.”
“Having your pup stay with Jennifer is amazing. I really appreciated the meet and greet prior to setting up time with her. Then we booked a practice day before leaving her overnight for a long weekend. We have never left our dog with anyone before and we felt really comfortable she was in a cozy spot. There were little dog beds all over the living room and Jennifer said it was okay for her to sleep in her bed too. She sent some cute photos while we were gone. And the second time we came, our little one was happy to go in. Now we feel more flexibility to leave our dog while we take a trip in future!”
“Mckenna was fantastic! She gave us constant updates and we felt very safe leaving our little guy with her. Upon pickup, Diego seemed relaxed and refreshed...he said he had a great time! ;-)”
“We absolutely love her and her family. I was so worried about leaving my puppy with her as a first time puppy mom but I had nothing to worry about at all. Will definitely be using her weekly.”
“Donna was absolutely lovely and sent many pictures of my puppy's stay with her. My dog loves to be held and snuggle and she obliged. My dog was completely happy and at ease when I came to pick her up.”
“Lindsay and her lovely family took such great care of Merlin and Orla during our wedding weekend! We loved all the photos and felt like our pups were right at home! It lead to a worry-free weekend, as we knew our pups were well cared for!”
“Huck had the best time with Trent and Jordan. He made lots of new doggie friends and was taken care of every moment. Lots of cute pics and messages helped me feel like Huck was happy and safe the whole time. Thanks!”
“Lorelei is amazing! She makes sure that my dog eats (which has been a problem when he is away from home), he gets plenty of exercise and enjoys spending time with other dogs. Lorelei really takes the worry out of leaving our sweet boy. Highly recommend her! Thank you!”
“Maria and Kalyan provided great care for our pup while we were out of town for a few days! We got a ton of detailed updates and felt overall very comfortable leaving our dog with them. Their dog Nikko became great friends with ours as well 😁”

“My dogs were so excited to have Christine drop by for a visit during one of my long work days! I came home and could instantly tell she did a great job entertaining them and making sure they had ample time for potty breaks, following all of my guidelines to a T. She communicated very well and I am so grateful for her care. Looking forward to having her stay with them for an extended trip at the end of summer.”

We appreciated the detailed messages and photos and were impressed that she even took the time to look for hidden vomit from him! Thank you so much!!”

“Wynona jumped in to help us out when our regular sitter was unavailable. She was wonderful!! She was prompt, communicative, and helped looked after our home while we were gone. She went out of her way to visit an additional day when I had a delivery too. Super sweet, and thoughtful. She even came by ahead of time to learn the nuances. Highly recommend!”
“Amanda was great with my two kitties. They are older and have quirks (random water glasses to fill, supplements to add to their food, etc) and she didnt bat an eye at any of it. I would definitely book her again!”

“Natascha took wonderful care of our two cats while we were away and kept us updated with pictures every day. She even noticed some issues with our snake and chinchilla and was happy to take care of those for us so we didn’t have to bother our neighbor. It meant a lot knowing someone dependable was there to check in on them.”

“Reanna is wonderful! She has professional training and is very attentive and conscientious. Lots of nice pics, and even gave my baby a free brushing! Very nice lady and she took good care of my baby. She was exhausted from play and fun when I picked her up. I highly recommend her.”

“This was our pups’ first time with Anna. Although there was initial confusion between humans on drop off time, our pups had a nice time. I was a little nervous leaving them somewhere new, but Anna addressed my discomfort with lots of updates and photos. My pups were happy and tired when they came home. Plan to ask Anna to provide future day care and boarding. Thanks , Anna!”

I have a mini dachshund who is 16 years old, who misses having friends around. I am familiar with puppies through seniors. I do work from home 4 days a week.

We do daily walks around the neighborhood, in a wooded area or at Manchester state park.

Should pets need to be left home unattended I will ensure everyone is in safe, separate locations close enough companionship but not mischief. Safety and well cared for is my goal.
“Emily has the setup when it comes to caring for dogs. Our pup, Bowie, was picked up both days happy as can be. Emily updated us throughout the day with pictures and engaged with Bowie with some of his favorite games, tug and Frisbee. He even made other dog friends! What more can you ask for. I'm handsdown booking with Emily/ Pacific Paws again ☺️”

He came home and promptly passed out. Expecting a lot more play dates in the near future. It's awesome to find another Corgi Mom. Thank you, Cara, for welcoming Yoshi into your home. We loved the photos you sent to us throughout the day and hope to add more memories.”

She was so thoughtful to pick and drop her off at the house, which was above and beyond!! :) As soon as she got to the door to pick Sopa up, Sopa was so smiley and happy, and she was anxious to leave us to hang with her buddy Lisa! Another wonderful experience with Lisa :)”

In searching for a solution we found Jennifer and Alex. We are so relieved Jennifer and Alex welcomed Jett into their home and provided a safe, loving, fun place. He socializes with their pets beautifully and we get to enjoy the texted photos showing him happy and at ease with their three dog pack.”
“Wynona was wonderful watching our dog Lucy. She seemed to really understand how all dogs can be different and gave Lucy a lot of space to adjust to a new place. Wynona was great at sending me uodates, photos and a video. Lucy had a really good time there and hopefully will be going back soon!”
