Boarding and house sitting climb over the winter holidays and through summer travel, while the SNHU and UNH Manchester calendars and move-in weekends add short-notice demand.

If you operate under a trade name, New Hampshire registers it with the Secretary of State under RSA 349, and city parks such as Derryfield, Stark, and Livingston require dogs on leash. There is no city cap on the number of dogs walked at once. Pet-care earnings are self-employment income, reported on Schedule C against the platform's 1099.
