“James was the Best! Not only did he take great care of our dog and took the dog on long walks. He was so thoughtful and even gave our dog a bath, washed his little coat. A gift too. Not enough 5 stars. , he deserves more!”
“Charis and her family are absolutely incredible! I had such a relaxing time on my trip, knowing that she was with them being loved and cared for like she’s a part of the family!”
“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.”
“Very loving and caring family. Incredibly attentive and flexible. Krisna and her family took good care of my pup. Each time I’ve left him knowing that he would have plenty fun. Videos were provided daily. Highly recommmended.”
“Great experience using Lorelei to watch Coco for 5 days. She sent photos and videos of her playing with the other dogs. Upon arriving to pick Coco up, I could tell she had a good time because she was acting just like the other dogs. I would definitely use Lorelei again and recommend her to someone who needs a sitter”
“Really wonderful communication and care! Pendry came home pooped from all the play time!! I think he had the time of his life! Thank you so much!”
“Kayla and Jacob took amazing care of our energetic lab. The property was great for our dog to play and explore. Their family treated our dog as one of their own, making us feel at ease while we were away for an extended time. Would definitely use again!”
“Our dog loved playing with the other pups at David‘s house, and came back happy and tired! It is definitely clear that he cares about dogs and provides them with an awesome space to run around in together!”
“Our pup had a great stay with Izzy. He had fun playing with other dogs, going on hikes and running around in the yard. My kids were missing the dog so much and it was awesome to receive all the pics and videos during the stay. Thanks Izzy for taking such good care of our puppy.”
“I was so nervous to leave my nine month old pup with a stranger. He’s a big boy but loves attention and play and is really sensitive to disapproval. Celia and her family kept him feeling loved and happy the whole week. When my friend (who he adores) picked him up she said he seemed super comfy with Celia.”
“Kevin and his partner were fantastic! They took excellent care of Edgar while I was gone, and pampered him to boot! Edgar was very sad to leave Kevin's side, and he had to be carried out.”
“Maria was so wonderful with Poppy! She sent frequent updates and was very quick to respond to messages. She took Poppy on daily walks and made sure she got enough exercise. I felt very safe leaving Poppy with Maria and will definitely have Maria watch Poppy again.”
“It was my dog's first time boarding since I adopted him in January. He was so excited to see Kha and even happier to be able to run around a big yard with her dogs. Kha took great care of Wolfgang, treated him like he was past of their family and sent me lots of pictures and videos of his time there.”
“Brenda is awesome. She gave our two pups the BEST weekend while we were gone. Brenda goes above and beyond, and we will 1,000% be calling her again. I cannot recommend her enough. Thank you, Brenda!!”
“This was Dandy’s first stay with Cathleen and we already have another stay booked. She took care of our small, elderly dog and rolled with it when she still had to wear a cone to finish some healing that took longer than expected post surgery. She clearly adores dogs and puts them first. She’s also good at managing nervous pet parents! 🥰”
“SJ is truly the best. She takes better care of our fur babies then we do and they are relaxed and happy to vein her company. Feels like leaving them with a family member.”

“Ashley was a phenomal sitter for our two kitties. She was the utmost professional, communicated effectively, and took extreme care to ensure the cats were well looked after.”
“Amanda did a great job with her drop-ins. We had a rather long vacation away from my cat and I was worried about him. I was happy to see a picture each day. It looked like he warmed up as the visits went on. The first day Amanda walked into a broken treat canister and most of the treats eaten. She immediately contacted me and cleaned up the mess. He care of Cosmo was very appreciated.”
“Anna always goes above and beyond when taking care of our cat! Anna is very attentive, follows instructions, keeps us updated with pictures, and asks questions whenever need be. I would highly recommend!!”
“Natascha took great care of our two Maine Coon cats, Remy & Ratchet! Her dedication is truly appreciated. The feeding routine was followed precisely, ensuring they ate well while we were away. The daily photo updates showing them lounging, eating & engaging with Natascha were wonderful and reassured us completely. The prompt communication made us feel so comfortable leaving them in her care. Booking again would not be a hesitation and we highly recommend this sitter to anyone seeking a truly caring and professional cat sitter.”
“Kimberly went above and beyond and made sure my kitties were loved while I was away. She's very communicative, friendly, and trustworthy. Even my skiddish kitty felt comfortable with her. She's also an excellent plant mom! My plants look better coming home than when I left!”
“This is my second booking with Regan. Once for this come over/potty break/hangout; the other for a multi-overnight. My dogs absolutely LOVE when Regan comes over. Charlie loves everyone and likes to talk about it. Lucy is a very reserved but wants to check things out in case she need to hide. When Regan first met them, she came over to get the key. Lucy was like, "hey lady, 'sup?..", took 2 little ear scratches, and walked off (high praise from her). Charlie was like, "HELLO! You smell like friend." Given this response I knew these goobers would be in great hands. After both visits, when we came in, the girls were on the sofa like, "Dang... It's not Regan, just the parents," and promptly returned to sofa-mode. For our overnight, we returned to a nicely tidy house and happy dogs. (Not the case with other sitters.) We are excited to book with Regan again for our next overnight.”
“Valerie was wonderful and took such great care of my kitty! The communication was clear and consistent. She always responded quickly to any messages I sent or inquiries I had. She sent a lot of photos and treated my girl so well! I highly recommend Valerie for everyone.”
“Brian is wonderful with our dog! He is easy to communicate with, reliable and trustworthy. Our dog loves to see him and looks forward to his visits. Brian really cares about our dog and I’m so grateful we connected. Not only does he clearly love and respect animals, he is also very professional and detail oriented. 100% recommend him for any pet sitting needs.”
“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.”
About: Cat parents know that cats needs are unique compared to other pets. I have plenty of experience from having cats of my own my whole life and working in vet med caring for cats of all kinds with all different needs in stressful situations. I will take the time to get to know your babies and take things at their pace building trust and making your kitty feels as safe as they can. I scoop litter boxes daily and keep food dishes clean. Depending on the cats comfort level and temperament I am able to trim nails, brush, administer medications (pill, transdermal, injectable), subcutaneous fluids, etc by myself. For me cats are always inside unless specifically told they go outside, catios are great!
“Above and beyond care! I don’t normally leave reviews with anything but I really wanted to in this case. I have an automatic water fountain which is normally filled with enough to last them a week if it didn’t get topped off. Erica was concerned they were drinking more than what could get them through between her visits so she put an extra water bowl down for them in addition to refilling the fountain. That is going above and beyond and showed real compassion for my kitties and that is something I really value. She went out of her way to ensure they wouldn’t need anything while I was away. And she was so very kind to bring in my packages left on my doorstep. I didn’t ask her to but she saved them from the rain and took them in for me. KitKat my very shy kitty even liked her so she has my seal of approval! I will ABSOLUTELY go to her again if I need someone to watch my fur babies!!!!! Trustworthy, dependable, and compassionate!”
“Karin did a great job with my cat, Koko! She provided updates on how my Koko was doing and sent pictures from her visits. Karin even helped managed a slightly stressed-out kitty mood or two while I was away and took the extra care to make sure everything was cleaned and fresh from food to litter areas. I was very happy with the care and the dialog with Karin around the drop-in visits. Awesome job!”
“Lisa, Always Reliable! Lisa goes up and beyond to ensure the safety and care for the pets she is caring for are first and foremost! We appreciate Lisa and all she does looking after our little ones when away from home. Thank you Lisa!”
“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!”

“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 ☺️”
“We are very pleased with Cathleen and how well she cared for Lucy. We had a meet & greet first and then scheduled Lucy’s first visit for today. All I can say is that it’s a good life for a dog if they spend the day with Cathleen! Walks, beach, and naps!”
“Thanks to Cara we had a wonderful first-time experience on Rover. Yoshi did his first Rover doggy day care and he had a blast. Cara took great care of him and her little girls took to Yoshi. 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.”
“Mac & Rocky had a great time at Christina's house, and we love her "pack", Finn and Dante. Christina is super-professional, inspires confidence, and kept us posted on how our guys were doing. We really appreciate her!”
“Baloo had a great time with Valerie! She was prompt in responses and offered a meet and greet before we dropped him off on a holiday! She took great care of him and was very flexible with us.”
About: I have had pets my entire life dogs, cats, rabbits and horses. I am comfortable around every type of dog, however prefer to sit smaller dogs up to 25lbs. 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. Currently I have an unfenced yard, I use retractable leashes to maintain safety when outside. Your fur-baby will get daily walks and plenty of love. I work from home 4 days a week, giving me the opportunity to give your pet plenty of attention in an adults only home with one dog for companion time. We do daily walks around the neighborhood, in a wooded area or at Manchester state park. I don’t currently have a fenced yard, outdoor time will be on retractable leashes for potty breaks, time on the fenced deck, and daily walks using your pets regular leash. 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.

“Khayl was amazing with my brand new puppy. She kept me up to date and sent videos during his visit. I would tell from the videos how well cared for he was and I will most certainly use her services again. A+++, you will be so happy with the care that she provides! Thank you again Khayl 💓”
“Thanks to Kayla & family we had a great first time experience on Rover! Super responsive, accommodating, and let me bring Frankie for a visit to meet them the day before. Her kids loved on our dog and she sent pictures of Frankie snuggling😊”

“Brooke is lovely, flexible and genuine. Posy felt comfortable with her quickly and her pup Dennis. I look forward to having her care for my precious Posy again and love her patient responsive style. She is clearly a good and respectful human who loves the dogs she cares for.”
“So amazing to have Maegan watch my dogs! It was short notice, it was a long 14 day, and 11mo puppy is A LOT to deal with but Meagan and her family were up to the task. The dogs were happy and tired when I got them in the evening. My dogs even got to meet "weird dogs" (their goats) ?.”
“Zara had a wonderful first time visit with Stacey and River & Birdie. Stacey made her feel comfortable around the bigger dogs and she loved the one-on-one attention from Stacey. My pup was happy and tired when I picked her up. I will definitely book with her again.”

“We are so grateful to Celia and her wonderful family for taking care of our dog. They are so positive and loving. Tesla came home excited and obviously well cared for. I really don’t want to leave a review and have Celia‘s business fill because we will be bringing Tesla back on a weekly basis. They are the best dog sitters we’ve ever had.”
“My puppy had a great time with Naiomi!!! Naiomi sent lots of pictures and updates. I could tell my pup was having a great time, and I felt comfortable leaving her with Naiomi. We will totally use her in the future.”

About: I love dogs! I'm happy to reinforce any training as needed. I also love to take dogs on local adventures and walks in the surrounding areas. I'm currently a grad student and will be needing to make some extra money starting next month. I will be on a semi flexible schedule allowing for pet sitting and house sitting. I'm trustworthy and will follow through on any needs expressed. I appreciate clear and direct communication. If a specific request is unclear, I will ask.

About: Hi! I’m Regan, a dependable animal lover who treats every pet like family. I have four years of experience caring for dogs and cats and I enjoy learning each pet’s unique personality and routine. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I’m happy to provide the care your pet needs while keeping you updated with messages and photos along the way. I currently work in an corporate weekday environment and best suited for a client with a pet who can be left alone throughout the day. On the weekends, I can spoil your pet with all day snuggles and walks! I keep pets comfortable by following their normal routine and stick closely to feeding schedules, walks, and any special care instructions. I do not take pets to dog parks unless specifically asked to. My goal is to spend quality time with them so they feel safe and loved while you’re away, and I’m happy to send regular updates and photos for peace of mind.
“Jasmin was fantastic with my pup, he would wait for her by the door when he knew she was coming he had so much fun! She communicated very well with me making me feel very comfortable knowing my pup was in good hands while i was out of town. highly recommended!”
“James has been great. He's personable and knowledgeable. It took a time or two for Freckles to warm up to him because she's pretty shy at first, but now she's excited when she sees him coming and is more than ready to walk.”
“Amanda accepted the assignment on short notice and communicated well about her availability and expected arrival time. Despite the rainy, cold weather she got Mack out for a long walk and managed his energy well. She clearly has a love of dogs.”
“Natascha was an amazing rover for Kirk! He enjoyed being walked by her so much, he walked more then the will let me walk him. Very understanding and great with Kirk and his shyness of other dogs!”
About: I have 2+ experience as a vet assistant in general practice and ER. I have a lifetime of animal care experience with a wide variety of animals including cats and exotics. I know how important it is to have someone to watch your pets that will treat your babies like they are their own and put your mind at ease when you're away. I currently work 4 days a week (Mon-Wed and Sat.) but can work with you and be as flexible as possible with potty breaks for our dog friends. I am typically completely available on my days off I will treat your house and pets as my own and leave it the way I left it or more clean! I have respect for clients and love for all of the animals I care for, I take pride in making sure that everything is taken care of and exceeds expectations. I also am not afraid to ask you questions if I'm unsure of something.
“Fantastic walker. She is so kind and you can tell just how much she loves animals. As it’s been getting hotter, she has made sure to check pavement temperatures so it isn’t too hot and is so flexible with making the walks earlier when it’s cooler. Really impressed and absolutely fantastic!”
About: Lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience! I grew up with multiple dogs and have spent years walking and caring for pets, including overnight stays. I’m comfortable with different routines, energy levels, and personalities—and I always make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and cared for. Mondays–Wednesdays are my off days and my most flexible time. I work Thursday–Sunday afternoons starting around 2, and my mornings are usually reserved for staying active—walks, workouts, or anything that gets me moving. I don’t have pets currently, but I’ve grown up caring for family and friends’ dogs and I’m comfortable with most breeds, prioritizing calm, safe, attentive care.
About: I grew up with lots of dogs in our home. Always going on walks, potty training etc. I’m very reliable and I’m also very flexible with your schedule. Thank you for taking the time to look over my profile! I am staying at home with my 3 kids. I have a lot of extra time to care for your fur babies! All you need to do is schedule me! When taking on your pet they become a priority. Anything that you need done or any instructions you have for your pet I will follow to the T. While also keeping you informed and letting you know how things are going with pictures and messages!
About: Growing up I always had at least one cat who I was responsible for taking care of. I loved animals so much as a child that I volunteered as a dog walker for my local shelter. Currently, I live with and take care of 5 cats. Having pets myself, I understand the anxiety one feels when leaving their furry friends for any extended amount of time and I will strive to provide the same level of care I would expect of someone caring for my own animals. I am currently a full-time student and work part-time (currently Monday-Thursday 4pm-7pm). I have full weekend availability and pretty flexible scheduling for daily check-ins/walks as well as over night sitting. My goal is to give you and your pet a low anxiety experience while you are away. I will make sure to send updates and pictures of your pets daily.

She is clearly extremely knowledgeable and effective with dogs, especially those with high energy and who love to play. The moment we met her I knew she was going to be amazing. We have had some bad experiences with other providers who clearly are not equipped to handle dogs or understand the world of dogs. Amanda speaks "dog" through and through and loves them, which you can feel and see in just five minutes of meeting her. She doesn't just love them--she knows how to handle them and is clearly very experienced.”

“Jill is such an angel and my dog absolutely loves her. She even made him a custom sweater when the groomer cut my babies hair too short. My Leo loves her so much and enjoys being in her company. He jumps on her the moment he sees her.”
