Pet Sitting in Westmoreland

About: I am a recently retired public school educator, having served as a psychologist and student service director. I retired to care full time for my mom, for two years. I am now looking for something meaningful, and fun, to do, and I believe caring for your pet(s) is it! I have had horses, dogs and cats in my lifetime. I have cared for the pets of family members and friends. I will be available from April thru October in the Keene area of NH and November thru March in the Dunedin area of Florida. My schedule is very open and flexible. I am available to care for your pet via drop ins, walks and boarding at your house, or mine depending on the circumstances. I have no pets currently, and no children in our home. I do not have a fenced in yard currently, but do abut a golf course in NH which is great for walks! In Florida, I do have a fenced in back yard.

“Eli has cared for and walked both of my golden retrievers is very responsible, caring and attentive to each dogs needs . Eli has also walked my friends 2 dogs when she was away. Along with caring for my in-laws dogs while they were away.”

“Alyssa and Kayleigh took wonderful care of our senior cat! They had no problem administering his medications and spent good time with him. Their notes, updates, and photos assured us that he was in good hands. Would definitely book them again!”

“Abby was wonderful with our Lab while we were away. I received pictures and updates each visit. She was very prompt about responding to any questions, initial meeting and booking. Loved the whole experience. Will definitely be asking for her help again in the future!”

“Emily was wonderful to work with. She made time to meet my dogs and go over everything in advance. She was very thoughtful and made me feel at ease knowing my babies were in good hands.”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats in my family my whole life, as well as horses , donkeys and pigs growing up. Worked with animals in my early teens and twenties for many years. My best employment that I have had is with animals. I’m currently working freelance from my home with my own set hours so I will have plenty of time to schedule walks and drop ins I will walk your dogs in an environment suitable to you, maybe a park? Hiking trail? I will also visit your pets in your own safe environment.

“Kristen is a trustworthy and kind person who you can trust to the fullest. She is reliable and easy to communicate with. Kristen takes her responsibilities seriously and has no issue with prioritizing and time management. I have trusted Kristen with my home, my animals, and my child on numerous occasions and she has been wonderful and helpful in all arrangements.”

About: Having grown up with multiple animals in the house at all times, I’m no stranger to different temperaments or needs. I’m flexible and understanding; and have a huge care-taking driven heart. I’d truly enjoy helping you give your furry friend a little extra love! I currently work on the weekends and have more free time throughout the week to stop in and take care of your babies! I have a young child and a puppy of my own who tag along with me on almost all of my adventures, and love care taking as well. I have a puppy under the age of 1 year, 2 young friendly cats, and a 4 year old son who adores and respects animals as well. Your fur baby will be comfortable, entertained, and well loved in our full house!

About: Dogs have become a part of my life since I met my partner in 2014, and since then I've been invested in making sure that every furbaby of mine lives the best life they can. I give them the as much variation in stimulation as I can, including playing, nosework, mind games, physical activity, and simply just letting them sniff to their snout's content on our walks. I can also go over obedience training (we got our current dog when he was 2 months old, after all). I work part-time as a landscaper, so I have plenty of flexibility to accommodate your pet's needs. I just need a heads up, and so I should be able to make it happen. I always walk with a leash since I'm concerned about potential reactivity, lack of puppy stage socialization, other safety issues and recall...etc. and as such I always try to keep my distance from other dogwalkers, unless both parties are sure that all dogs involved are "friendly." I'll step aside for just people as well, depending on the dog I'm walking. I believe Leave It, Drop It, and Give are the most important commands you can teach your dog. I always pick up after them.

“Meghan is very responsible and takes great care of her dog. She provides lots of love and stability for her rescue pup including by attending training, and taking her to the dog park and on frequent walks.”

“Christopher was fantastic! Very communicative and flexible! We would absolutely trust Christopher with our pets again!”

“I couldn't be happier with the exceptional care provided by Carrie. Her dedication and attention to my dog have been remarkable over the years. From the moment we met, her genuine love for animals shone through, and she's always gone above and beyond to ensure my pet's comfort, happiness, and well-being. She's reliable, a great communicator, and has a substantial background in pet care, including delicately handling various breeds, behaviors, and potential health issues. I can always enjoy my time away with complete peace of mind. I am immensely grateful for her outstanding service and can't recommend her enough to anyone seeking top-tier care for their beloved pets.”

“Christine took excellent care of our two cats, we highly recommend her, she was super easy to communicate with, and is a very kind and caring person.”

“Definitely 5 stars for Stacie for her first time visits with our cat. Stacie came to our home 4 times while we were away. When we arrived home, our cat was calm and happy. Stacie is very communicative, a kind and caring person. I would not hesitate (and will) book Stacie again! Clearly recommended.”

“Mike was so fantastic with our dog Preston! Since Mike has senior dog experience, he really knew exactly how to handle Preston with love and care, he was a great communicator and we will definitely working with him again!”

“Kaityn is wonderful! I booked her for the first time this weekend (drop in visit). She is very communicative throughout the whole process, and was great with my dog. By the time I got home from a long afternoon out of the house, my pup was still sleeping - so I know she had a great play session!! I’ll definitely work with Kaitlyn again in the future!”

“Emily did a fantastic job jumping in last minute to take care of our new puppy and our cat!”

“Melissa was absolutely fantastic! She watched our dog for a week and was great. I got updates with pictures or videos every day. When we got home, Tanooki was in great shape and I think she even missed her nighttime visit with Melissa! We will definitely be rebooking with her the next time we go away.”

“Janina was wonderful in taking care of my cat Monty! She kept him very entertained as he is a high-energy cat. She played with him, fed him, scooped the litter box, and everything I expected her to do. Janina sent me pictures of him as well while I was away, which I very much appreciated! She was very respectful and knowledgeable of feeding times and how to feed him. I highly recommend Janina if you need someone to look after your furball!”

About: i’ve always had dogs growing up. I used to walk and bath dogs in middle school and once I became 16 I’ve only had jobs with dogs. I have experience with special needs dogs, old dogs, young dogs, and puppies. i’ve always been reliable and will go above and beyond for every dog. I’m available for dog walking and drop-in’s Monday/Tuesday anytime of day. Wednesday-Saturday before 8:30 am or after 6pm. In addition I’m also available for holidays! I’m able to follow your instructions, scoop yards, crate dogs, play outside, and refresh waters, and make sure your house is 100% secure before I leave. For non fenced in yards I prefer to use a slip lead if you don’t have a martingale collar or chain collar.
