“Watanya is very caring and communicative. She sent us pictures every day and was in constant contact. We felt that both our pets were in perfect hands. She is diligent and trustworthy. We will definitely think of her for any other vacations we may take.”

“Lauren was fantastic with Atlas. She was also very communicative with pics, updates, and asking questions when he got anxious about a party next door and how to best support him. Will definitely book with her again!”

“Heather was super easy to communicate with. Appreciate her follow ups from meet n greet to last day visits. She was very thoughtful of the schedule, making sure dogs were covered till we returned. House and hounds were perfect upon our arrival. Thank you so much for helping us enjoy our time away. We would 100% book again!”

I have years of pet sitting experience with anxious/reactive dogs and am comfortable caring for them as well.
“Michelle and David took wonderful care of Ginger! They sent so many great updates with pictures and videos--I never felt I had to reach out to request photos because they were so on top of this. They were also so sweet and went out to get blueberries to give Ginger as a treat, and they left the extras in the fridge for her! They were also really clean and respectful of our home--they took the trash out before leaving and offered to strip the bed. We've already rebooked them and I know Ginger can't wait to see them again!”

“5 stars across the board.... We felt so comfortable with Carolyn house sitting and dog sitting... She sent so many photos and our dog looked so happy... Amazing communication and super caring!!! Carolyn will be our "go-to" hopefully long term”

About: We are a family of four! We have my kids 50 percent of the time- they are 8 and 6! We have a fenced in yard that the animals can run in! I work from home so I’m home majority of the day- I leave for some meetings randomly but not for too long. We are members at a great dog park in NH that we take our dogs to often especially with nicer weather! We have two dogs- A 3 year old Bernadoodle and a 2 year old long haired chihuahua. Both very friendly with other animals! We also have a 10 month Mancoon Cat who loves playing with the dogs and acts like a dog herself! We have been caring for animals for a long time and we welcome all types of animals into our loving family! We give our dogs a lot of attention and we will do the same with yours! I work from home and my job is very flexible. I will be home majority of the time and will be able to give a lot of attention and love! I have a full fenced in yard! I have a screened in porch also that provides some outside time when not in the yard! It’s a very safe area!
“Arianna was amazing! She was super communicative, super professional, extremely friendly, and sent tons of pictures of Basil while I was away. I would definitely recommend her for house/ pet sitting and would absolutely book her again.”

About: Hello! My name is Alexyss, and I have never lived in a house without pets until college. I have genuinely missed the company of animals, and would love to spend my time with them. My family always had multiple dogs in the house, and I have helped birth and raise puppies and kittens more than once. I’m trying to primarily focus on dog walking, but am open to the occasional pet sitting. Because of my extensive experience, I’m pretty much the first person my friends and family call when they need someone to watch their furry family members. I can’t bring them to my house because I have an allergic roommate. All breeds and sizes are beautiful, and I’d love to meet your animals. Hope to hear from you! I have a regular 9-5 M-F job. So I am slightly limited during week days. However, I can still either stop by or stay at your home on those days. I am available on weekends. I also have half days on Friday (I get out at 12). I used to be a nanny, which is obviously different, but it means that I am very good at following the rules set by clients and catering to their needs.
“Henry did a wonderful job caring for our two golden retrievers and our house over two weeks. He seems to really love dogs, and took them for walks and let them out (even at midnight) when they needed it. Also came back mid-day from work to check in on them. Very pleased, and would recommend Henry highly.”

About: You're going away, and the only one more anxious than your pup watching you pack a suitcase, is you, wondering who will take care of them with just as much love and care as you would. That would be me (and my husband and two dog obsessed toddlers)! There are people who like dogs, and then there are dog people. We're the latter! I’ve had dogs in my family my whole life, and cared for dogs through Rover and for friends for over 12 years. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and health needs, and feel comfortable providing medication. After taking a long Rover maternity leave, we're ready to welcome dogs back into our home. Pups coming into our care MUST be good with young kids (ours are 4.5 & 3) and fully house trained. My husband and I both work in schools, so weekdays we are typically home by 3/3:30pm. When the weather is nice, we try to spend as much time outside in the afternoon with our kids in our huge fenced in yard. During school vacation weeks and weekends, we are almost always home, or adventuring nearby to find walking trails, playgrounds, or other outdoor/dog friendly spaces. I always want to replicate what they’re familiar with while you’re away so that they are as comfortable as possible. This will look different for every dog, and we are flexible to that. Safety is a massive priority for our family, as it is just as important for us that your dog and we enjoy their stay. Dogs are never left unattended in our fenced in back yard - my husband or I will always be outside monitoring them. Baby gates separate the kitchen/dining area from the living room/play room area, and used when dogs are eating or if our kids/dog are getting overstimulated and could use a break. We never let the dog off leash if we take them to a public park or walking trail. We do not go to dog parks.
“Janine is an amazing caregiver! I came home to a happy crew, and my home was so tidy! She was attentive to some of my pup’s quirks, was very communicative and sent a ton of photos. It was clear both my dogs and cats felt incredibly comfortable with her! Looking forward to booking Janine again!”

About: I have been a vet tech for many years and am experienced in both large and small animal care. I am very familiar with medication administration, as well as recognizing signs of illness or unease. I love all animals large and small, and will treat your pet like my own! I work for myself and have an extremely flexible schedule that I can tailor to individual needs. I am a homebody and am around most weekends I have a fenced in yard, and an extremely friendly and loving dog in my own home. I am also very comfortable with overnight stays, in which my partner would watch my own dog.
About: I have 5 years of professional dog experience varying from being doggy daycare assistant manager, a kennel attendant, and training apprentice. I have a lot of experience with working breeds and puppies. I have experience administering medications, dealing with reactivity and anxious dogs. I am also well versed in canine/feline nutrition! I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to care for your pup! I’m typically free all day Monday and Wednesday and most days after 2pm! I love taking dogs on trail walks and playing games like fetch with them or enrichment activities, I could also do a playdate with my dog if wanted!
“Peach was so incredibly wonderful to have stay with our animals. Her warm energy, her commitment and communication allowed us to enjoy our time away knowing our animals were in great hands. Our animals instantly bonded with Peach and truly had such a great time with her! She played with Lou (our cat) and walked Yucca (our dog). We will absolutely be booking with Peach again!”

“I’m happy to add to the list of excellent reviews for Jakk! She took terrific care of our mini poodle, our two cats and our house while we were out of town. We came back to content animals, a tidy home, AND a fresh baked, delicious cinnamon sugar bread! Jakk also went the extra mile and took our dog to the groomer so I didn’t have to reschedule his appointment. She sent regular photos and videos and was very reachable, flexible, and responsive. At first I was anxious to leave our floofs with someone new to us, but it took about 30 seconds to realize Jakk loves animals and they love her back. We’re incredibly grateful for her work, kindness, and professionalism. What a delightful person and great animal sitter. Thank you!”

Maggie was wonderful! Both Murphy and Maverick didn't even seem to miss us while we were gone, a true testament that Maggie took great care of them both. Very communicative and left our house in the most excellent condition. We can't wait to have her come stay with our cats again!
