This was the second sit with Rick. When I see that he applies, I click accept immediately. He is clearly an animal lover and he has really bonded with Funkhouser at this point. Great communication and once again came back to a place that was cleaner when I left it!
Miriam and her partner sent me regular updates about Apricot, which was nice. They were also kind enough to ferry me to and from the airport, which made life a lot easier. And they thoughtfully bought me a bottle of wine. They were attentive and made sure that Apricot was eating regularly, and generally was very well looked after.

Amy is amazing and treats my dogs like they are her own. She is super reliable and conscientious. She always sends me pictures and updates me on their well being. I cannot recommend her enough!
Amy so wonderful with our dog Max and our bird! She’s very responsive and reliable! I feel she cares for my animals like I would. I like that she takes a photo of our animals before she leaves our house so I can see my babies are doing well and let’s me know of any concerns she may have. She is very good and willing to give meds and always makes sure the animals have plenty of food and water. I would highly recommend her!
Amy is a god send. We moved to New England right before Covid began and never developed relationships to cover pet sitting. So I resorted to finding someone online, which was nerve wracking. I was deeply impressed by Amy's professional website, ticking off all my boxes - knows rabbits (we have two house rabbits - ie litter box trained), she's insured, and registered. We've hired her services mutliple times now and she is worth every penny! When my husband and I are away, we constantly talk about what a luxury it is to have a pet sitter we can trust and who is communicative, so we can relax when traveling. I especially appreciate the daily check-ins we get from her to let us know our buns are happy and healthy. I absolutely recommend her for anyone looking for a reliable, responsive, caring pet sitter.
I have a very old yellow Labrador who cannot see well, cannot hear well, and has a degenerative nerve issue that has made walking very difficult. In addition, she wears diapers in the house due to incontinence. I reached out to Amy because I did not feel comfortable leaving my girl for long days when I had to work in my office in MA. Amy would come and give her some love, change her diaper and take her out for a whatever walk she could handle that day. Amy was great helping my old girl with my numerous staircases and later even giving my kitty cat some much needed love during my long days. On one occasion when I had to leave for longer military service and my old dog went to stay with family, Amy came on several days just to make sure my kitty didn't feel so alone. Her prices are affordable and reasonable and her care for my fur babies has been outstanding!
Amy was incredible! I have never left my two cats for any length of time -- however, Amy took such excellent care of them that I was actually able to enjoy my vacation. She sent daily updates with pictures and went above and beyond! One cat requires two daily medicines and she was able to continue his treatment, even though it isn't alway easy to catch him! Our flight was delayed for a day and she was flexible in providing an extra day of care -- not sure what we would have done otherwise! We will definitely be using Amy again in the future! Highly recommend!!!
Amy gets an A+ from my 3 senior cats (who are particular and high-maintenance) & their owner! Amy is reliable & professional, and she always sends an update at each visit. It can be difficult to find a responsible pet sitter, but Amy is excellent. She makes leaving your pets at home less stressful on you & them. Amy has watched my cats several times, and each time I return to home to find happy, healthy cats. I would highly recommend Amy!
We have been using Amy's service for well over a year now. My mother needs assistance with her cats and without fail Amy comes in several times a week rain, snow or shine! We have also travelled a few times and rather than leave the cats in a boarding service Amy would come to the house every other day to check on the cats and spend some time with them. We are very comfortable with giving her access to our home when we are away. I would highly recommend her service.
Amy stepped in on very short notice to care for our multi-dog multi-cat household over a long weekend. The critters are not easy, as some of them are on special diets and others have medications. Amy came four times a day, texting us every time about how they were doing. For the first couple of days, she had questions. It was clear that she wanted to do an excellent job. And she did. She got to know each of the animals, commenting on some of their personality quirks. Not only does she really cares, but her rates are very reasonable. I think the dogs were disappointed to see us return! We will use her every time we go away.
Amy was fantastic with my 2 older dogs!! She took care of them as if they were her own and gave me a piece of mind while I was away!! She sent me updates and pictures and kept me well informed that my babies were doing great! I would highly recommend her to anyone! She is the best! I will Be calling Amy again without a doubt the next time I go away😀
I cannot say enough about Amy. She is an "animal Angel". She has cared for our elderly pets (dog Rosie and cat Wally) at our home during vacations for the past year. During our latest absence from home, Rosie's elderly condition took a drastic downturn. While we were away and could not get back, Amy took her to the emergency vet herself and did everything in her power to make Rosie comfortable. She went above and beyond any expectations we could have asked for. Rosie passed before we could get back, but WE were comforted by Amy's kind words and caring attention to Rosie in her time of need. I was sad that Amy had to experience this on our behalf and will be forever grateful for her! I have never known anyone better than Amy for the care of your beloved pets.
Abbie and her crew are nothing short of amazing when it comes to taking care of our dog. The professionalism of picking them up at our home and then helping to train them as well as just overall keep them active, has given us peace of mind. Bella is one lucky lady to be a part of the Salty Paws Pack!
Our dog always looks forward to her play time with Salty Paws - she watches out the window for the van to arrive! The pack leaders are wonderful with her and always bring her back thoroughly exercised and tired. Great for the dogs to socialize together while playing outdoors. Beach days are the best. Highly recommend this group for the best doggie play group.
Salty Paws has been picking up our Berner, Truman for over a year now. He LOVES his weekly adventures and it is clear the staff loves him. Berners are not dogs that are good with heat, but the staff is very aware of this and very cognizant of days that might be an issue. We have used Salty Paws for overnights both in our own home and at Abbies house and have been very pleased. I assure you, your dog will love his adventures! We can’t wait until our new guy Webster can join the pack :)
Can’t say enough about Abbie and her team of dog lovers that take care of our pups! My dog Logan has been enjoying their services for a few years now. He lives when the Salty pack van shows up! And he comes home happy and exhausted. If your have mom guilt because you work from home and feel terrible that you can’t play with them all day. Then this is your ticket to giving them the exercise off leash that they need. This team is engaged and really cares about everyone’s experience (moms and pups). I trust them completely-your dog will thank you! ❤️
My three dogs have been going to Salty Paws for just about a year. They love it so much and get so excited when they get picked up. The convenience of having them picked up and taken for the day is key for our family! They come home exhausted and with better manners. Nothing beats it!
Highly recommend! Whether you work from home, away at the office, or retired, this adventure for your dog is a must! Riley has been going on 3 hour adventures weekly for 7 months with Salty Paws and I can’t say enough good things about Abbie and the team. Riley gets much needed play time outside with her Scallywag doggie friends. They go on adventures whether on trails, the beach, or running in the fields. The pack learns basic commands, manners and how to play together in groups. We trust Abbie and her team that Riley is in great hands when in their care🐾🐾
We have been using Salty Paws for 3 years and couldn't be happier with them. They have taught our dog amazing trail manners and these adventures have socialized our Berner so that we can take him anywhere and he knows how to behave with other dogs. They whole crew is fun, respectful and caring towards each dog (I have been out in the same area to see them in action!). Murphy sits by the door waiting for their arrival, it is so cute! The price is also very reasonable for a 3 hours adventure! Thank you Salty Paws!!
Salty Paws is such an amazing service, we are so lucky to have them on the seacoast. I don't have to worry about my schedule and getting our dog to daycare at a certain time-they pick her up, drop her off and give her all the exercise she needs during her excursions... comes home happy and exhausted :) If you have any doubt, just follow them on Instagram to see how much these dogs enjoy the outings and how obedient they are. Abbie and her crew are the best!
My dog has been going on a pack romp with Salty Paws weekly for the last 1-2 years. She wishes every day was pack day! Abigail is friendly, professional, and caring. Courtney and Bob are also great. I have even used Salty Paws for dog sitting a few times, and I always know my pup is in the best hands. They also post pics on Instagram :)
Salty Paws has been great for our Golden Retriever Max! He looks forward to hanging with his "pack" and comes home tired and happy from each session! The team is excellent and has helped his development interacting with other dogs!
Fabulous service! Caring and loving to our pets. Takes care of our home when we are away and gives our fur babies the best of care.
Our experience with Diane (Pets and Petals) has been absolutely wonderful! Finding her has expanded our ability to travel more often with unfettered peace-of-mind that both our cat and home were safe and well-cared for. Diane is the "real deal", and provides genuine care of our spoiled cat and provides such a valuable service that is hard to put a value on. She is detailed, responsible, sensitive and thorough ... she not only feeds our cat but pets, brushes, and plays games with her too! Diane always texts us when she makes her first visit to the house and often sends a picture of our cat to relieve any anxiousness that we might have in not being there, and she leaves us a detailed written summary (“kitty report card”) of her visits along with the activities she has shared with our cherished pet. After Diane's visits, when we return home after being away for a few days, we actually wonder if our cat is sad to see us at the door, since she had so much fun with Diane! Diane is the best!!
Having Diane visit my cats while I'm away means never having to worry about them. She knows what pet owners need to know when they are gone, and keeps in touch with texts and photos daily. There is never a doubt that DIane will show up, or that the cats will not be given attention and love. I have two antisocial, xenophobic cats who hide the minute the doorbell rings or a stranger enters--except for Diane. They wait at the door for her! It's uncanny.
We love Ramson Kennel! Our Doberman is always very happy when we take him and Jill is wonderful to work with!
Really nice place! Dropped our beagle off there before our trip to Europe. The person who greeted us and took our dog in was very nice, and the area is also nice! Lots of room for dogs to run around and have fun :D
Highly recommend Ramson. Our 1 1/2 year old lab stayed here for a week. He was timid at first and took a day or two to adjust. Jill and her team did a great job working with him and he settled right in! Very attentive. Very clean and well organized.
I'm fairly new to boarding my dog. Jill was very accommodating and I was able to easily schedule an off-schedule pickup without worry. Prices are very fair for overnight boarding. I will look to use Ramson Kennel if I have boarding needs in the area again. Only one tiny thing was my dog's favorite toy was not in his bag when we left, but I admittedly didn't check closely. That's on me. :) I can happily recommend Ramson Kennel.
Best kennel and owners I have had the pleasure of doing business with. Highly recommend Ramson Kennel for top care of your pet.
Jill provides excellent care to our two dogs. We have boarded our pups with her three times now and have been impressed every time. While we were traveling, she’s given us updates on how their doing and she even made one of my pups some chicken and rice to settle an upset stomach. I highly recommend Ramson Kennel for all your dog boarding needs.
Great place for our puppy! Jill is very friendly and very professional. Ramson Kennel is our choice when we need to give our puppy a little‘vacation’. The yard is bid, kennels are spacious and clean.
One of the best places to take your furry love ones. When we drop off our dog we know she is in good hands. Jill and her team care and love what they do. I have dropped our dog many times when we travel. We highly recommend Ramson Kennel
Good spot to bring your dogs. The workers are so nice and took great care of my dog! Definitely recommend bringing your dogs here!
I highly recommend Ramson Kennel. Jill is so kind and the dogs have an awesome space to play and stay in! I love that they are on a schedule just like at home. I have two dogs that are aggressive when outside of their own pack and Jill knows how to keep them safe and they get their own separate play time by themselves! I am so happy a friend recommended them to me!
I wish I could give them 10 stars! My 1-year old dog, Tucker, has been going to Dogtopia North Hampton for a few months now and I don’t know which of us loves them more! Amanda and her team are incredible and you can tell they love what they do. They’re kind and professional, they get to know their customers right away, they’re amazing with the dogs, and they’re masterful at creating an experience that works for each dog’s unique personality and play style. Tucker is always so excited to see everyone at drop-off and leaves tired and happy at pick-up. In addition to getting great socialization and having a blast with his friends, he’s learning how to play appropriately in a safe and supervised environment, which will help him for the rest of his life! I also appreciate their transparency, great communication and booking flexibility. I can watch the dogs on the webcam during the day and love hearing stories about Tucker’s time there. Finally, they go above and beyond with themed days, photos, spa services and special treats! We love Dogtopia North Hampton and could not recommend them highly enough.
I truly appreciate that every time I’ve made a last-minute booking for daycare, boarding, or bathing, they’ve always said yes! I have two dogs, and I know they can be a handful. The manager is always kind, responsive to feedback, and clearly works hard to provide excellent customer service. The entire team is so friendly, and it’s such a great place to bring my furry babies. Thank you so much!
I have been sending my pup to Dogtopia for daycare for the last 4 months. He was a stray and can be very timid, often laying down & refusing to move if he's unfamiliar. This has never been an issue with Dogtopia- He basically pulls me into the building wagging the entire back half of his little body while his tail swings side to side! He loves it!! The employees are very nice & you can genuinely feel how much they care for the dogs! You can peek in on the camera during the day and they are always petting/loving on the dogs & engaged.
I have been taking my Maltipoo Nash to Dogtopia for two summers now . We live in a seasonal park where she is not allowed . I was sick with worry where I was going to have her boarded on the weekends I was here . I found Dogtopia and we have been thrilled beyond our expectations. Amanda is the manager and she has been so supportive accommodating and helpful with Nash and our needs . The team of coaches at Dogtopia are amazing and so lovable with all the dogs. They really know their stuff and I KNOW They love my dog. It’s very apparent when I bring her how much they care about her . I can watch the doggy cam all day and whenever I do Nash is happily playing and being loved . My heart is happy and I feel good knowing she is playing and comfortable all day. She comes home so tired from being with friends . 10 stars !!! ❤️we are going to miss them this winter !!!!!!!!!!
Very reasonable prices and nice employees do a Wonderfull job. I think my Aggie fell in love with another dog there. He had a big bone when he got home.
This was our first experience with Dogtopia while on vacation, but likely won't be our last. The staff were wonderful and friendly, showed us all around, and explained everything. The best part is the fact that you can see your dog with an online video link! We could see our dog while we were visiting places that were not dog friendly. Thank you to them for taking care of Sentinelle for a day!
The staff! They are exceptional. They care about the dogs, and it shows. I also love jumping onto the webcam and watching my dog misbehave!
Staff is very knowledgeable and they love my dogs as if they are their own! I love that I can check in on the cameras to see how my pups are doing throughout the day!
I absolutely love The care they give to my dog and how special they make him feel when he walks through the door. They make me wish I was a dog! 😂😂😂😂 …
Very friendly staff. I love the camera so I can check in on my boy!
