Meet Our Pet Care Associates

Kim

My name is Kim Dumont, owner of Little Bay Pet Services, LLC. I grew up in a small town on the seacoast of New Hampshire. As a child I loved playing with the neighbor’s dogs, visiting the cows at the farm in town, and providing a home for two rescue cats of my own. After a career in marketing and merchandising I switched gears to start a family. My daughter was born a passionate animal lover like myself. Through nurturing her love for all types of animals, I realized that starting a pet sitting business would be a perfect fit for my new life as a Mom.

I started Little Bay Pet Services, LLC 14 years ago with a marketing degree and a big dose of hope. Today I share my home with my husband, daughter, a German shepherd and two cats.

I enjoy educating myself about animal behaviors, products and foods so I can pass this information on to my clients. The most rewarding aspect of owning a pet sitting business is the lasting relationships I have built with my clients and their pets.

Heather

Heather has always had a strong love and deep connection for animals. Heather has owned three Scottie dogs; Maggie being her current best buddy. At the age of 10 Heather started pet sitting for friends. In high school she was called on by friends to sit for their farm animals. She became the “go to girl” to call when friends or family members needed care for their furry friends.

Heather truly understands how important it is to provide excellent care to client’s pets and treats them as they were her own. Heather provides overnight care for those who are looking for an alternative to boarding. She will stay in your home while you are away and make sure that your pooch never gets lonely at night. Heather enjoys the bond she develops with her clients animals by sharing their environment! When asked she will even share the bed with her four-legged friends.

Karen

Karen has always had deep respect and appreciation for animals, and pets have had a special place in her life since she was a child. She has owned cats and dogs, has maintained both fresh and saltwater aquariums, and, over the years, has been co-caretaker to a variety of her children’s small furry and not-so-furry friends. Karen felt especially grateful when sharing outdoor adventures with her two dogs, Max and Haley. Most recently, she adopted two very snuggly cats, Finn and Buckets.

Karen works at the Seacoast Science Center in Rye and is a trained Marine Mammal Rescue volunteer. She is also a certified Reiki Master, artist, and soap-maker. Karen enjoys hiking, kayaking, cooking, gardening, and just about anything that involves being creative or nature.

Petey

Petey grew up with cats and dogs in her home in New York then moved to New Hampshire to attend college. After college she decided New Hampshire is where she wanted to live.

Petey and her family share their Seacoast home with two spoiled dogs, an 11 year old Golden Retriever named Hayley and a 3 year old Havenese named Henry. After working in the sporting goods industry for 23 years, she decided to make a career change and look for a job that would include working with animals in some capacity.

Petey currently works as a receptionist at a busy Seacoast Veterinary Hospital and previously worked at a doggy daycare. When not working, Petey keeps very active playing recreational basketball and ice hockey. She also enjoys hiking, biking, running and camping. Another passion is taking photos for her small photography business.

Molly

Molly has always had a fascination with nature and the animals that inhabit it. She spent her summers growing up in Maine watching deer raise their fawns, owls perching in the trees, ducks walking around on the beach looking for treats and of course, living with her own pets. Molly has lived on the Seacoast of NH her entire life and has had multiple dogs, guinea pigs, cats and hung around a barn with horses, chickens … and more dogs.

Currently, she spends most of her time walking and snuggling with her family’s one year old chocolate lab Tupelo, along with giving her two sassy cats Flora and Clover food at their command. Outside of the much dedicated time with the pets in her life, Molly attends the University of New Hampshire as a studio art major and is earning her pilot’s license at Hampton Airfield. Being outside, spending time with friends and enjoying life’s simplicities bring a lot of joy into her life… and so does meeting the many wonderful animals throughout the area!

Andrea

Andrea has been an animal lover and owner all her life! Starting with a German Shepherd as a baby named Gretchen, she has also had 2 parakeets, fish, 2 dogs (southern rescues) and 16 cats (all rescues and strays). Her two newest additions are two adult cats named Eevee and Lucario (from Pokémon). Her lifetime love, Footloose passed away in March at almost 18 years old after battling cancer – he is in her bio picture. She provided hospice care on her own for 6 months, making sure he was living a quality life; in 2005 Footie was there for her when she was diagnosed with breast cancer herself.

In addition to owning pets, Andrea has also volunteered for shelters in MA, such as Animal Umbrella (senior cat specialist) and a home visit coordinator for Almost Home Rescue of Maine. She has a lot of experience with administering medications including insulin, and sub-q fluids.

Andrea enjoys many forms of dance and is a member of Safe Haven Ballet’s ongoing productions since October 2021; she also loves spending time with her family, reading, painting, and photography.

Felicia

My name is Felicia and I have grown up all over the state of New Hampshire. I have always had animals. Growing up, we had Siberian Huskies, cats, and rabbits! Since living in my own, I have owned cats, rabbits, geckos and even axolotls. During high school and college, I have completed pet visits, both overnight and say visits. I love animals!

I am a teacher full time, but love to spend my free time reading or visiting with family and friends. I enjoy spending time with my cats, Luna and Bullet, and also my families pets! Animals are amazing creatures and we don’t deserve them!

Heidi

Heidi has always had a love for animals and the outdoors. She grew up with a family dog and a bunny. She always knew she wanted many dogs in her home. She got her wish when she moved to Newington and had land to raise them.

She was the proud pet parent of two German Shepherds and a Beagle. She enjoyed training, agility, and scent work activities with her Shepherds. Currently she has her 13-year-old beagle Dakota. She truly enjoys spending time with dogs of all breeds and sizes and loves them like her own.

Heidi enjoys many outdoor activities that keep her active year-round, including paddle boarding, kayaking, running, snowshoeing and snowmobiling.

Alex

Alex has a love of all dogs big and small, having had pets ranging from the tiniest Affenpinschers and Bichon Frisée’s to Malamutes, Rhodesian Ridgebacks and – pictured here – Giant Schnauzers! Tanner is the fourth Giant he’s raised, and although he is only three, is already a Grand Champion show dog. The good boy now enjoys a respite from the busy life of the show-ring business and has been training in scent work (while not on chipmunk or deliveryman duty).

Alex is also the owner of a special needs – but very statesmanlike – Ocicat, Clootie. Despite being 17 years of age and requiring daily care to manage his diabetes, Clootie still manages to rule the house and be a good boss to Tanner and his humans.

When not tending his flock, Alex enjoys landscaping, gardening, and growing fresh herbs and vegetables for new recipes in the kitchen.
