House Sitting in Shoreham

“Lorrie is fantastic! She stayed with our pup over spring break. She sent pictures and videos so we could see they had lots of fun. She was so accommodating when our flights changed so we didn’t have to worry about anything. Of course our dog got itchy right before we left, but she was great with the medication our vet gave us. I felt so good leaving our dog with Lorrie, which made for a stress free vacation. We will definitely be contacting Lorrie again!”

“Grace was wonderful with our dogs and took great care of our home. I ended up being away much longer than expected and Grace was very responsive in helping me out in a difficult situation. I can’t thank her enough!”

“When it comes to dogs, i couldn't think of a better lady for this occupation! I'm lucky enough to have met Cristina because of our dogs! I helped her to learn dock diving with her boy Hozzy! Hozzy is the most amazing Malinous i've ever met! Sweet, Gentleman and just like my labs! He also obsessed with dock diving! A Champ! Cristina can handle any dog from what i've seen! A 200 lber wouldn't be a problem! She is fun, serious, and full of gusto! She would be a huge asset to anyone needing dog help! She has done many training sessions!! I highlight reccomend Cristina!”

“Caleb was great with my golden retrievers during a recent long trip. He took them on long walks each day and was very responsive to my text messages. Caleb is reliable and sensitive to the dogs' personalities and needs. I highly recommend him as a caregiver of your pet.”

“The absolute best!! Alysa took care of our two dogs for a week while we were on vacation. She was communicative, sent pictures, and kept our dogs super active and happy :) We were able to truly relax on vacation knowing our dogs were in such responsible and trustworthy care. Alysa also dealt with some unexpected issues that came up at our house like a total pro. She is 100% awesome!”

“Alan did a great job with PD. PD was happy and had clearly developed a relationship with Alan.”

“Austin has taken great care of my dog whenever I go out of town, he takes them on walks and treats them as his own. He has a fenced in yard which makes morning bathroom breaks easy and he loves my pets like his own!”

“Kelly is who you want to sit your pets and your house. She's so nice, so patient with all my communication, so responsive and responsible... It's obvious she loves animals, she immediately connected with my cat and my puppy, and they with her. And let me tell you, my puppy is not an easy dog to take care of right now. She's 16 weeks old and in full crazy teething, biting, nipping mode. It's definitely a challenge to be with this land shark. But Kelly handled her with grace. She also left our house spotless. I will definitely ask her to watch my babies again!”

“Jess was amazing with my cat Penny. She is a very shy cat, but warmed up to her right away! I was able to enjoy my vacation stress free and will definitely be booking again! I highly recommend :)”

“Colleen was great! Very communicative, took excellent care of our old doggo, and was neat as a pin. No hesitation about asking her to come back.”

“Meghan was amazing with our dog Bailey. She's very high energy and VERY smart. It takes attention and experience to really run a tight ship with her and Meghan was on top of it from the second she met her. She honestly taught us a thing or two. I would not hesitate to use her again any time that we're away!”

About: I have worked at two doggy daycares, and this experience has given me the ability to understand what your dog needs and how to keep your best friend safe, happy, and healthy. I have a wealth of experience in pet care. Throughout my life, I have been responsible for taking care of my two dogs at home, as well as living with eight cats for a period of six months. Currently, I am a proud owner of a cat. Additionally, I have been caring for non-domestic animals, such as chickens, for the past eight years. Moreover, I have the opportunity to work with large groups of dogs on a daily basis. It's truly a fulfilling experience to provide care and support to these wonderful creatures. Animals require more mental stimulation than people may think. Just like humans, they thrive on mental stimulation. That's why it's crucial for animals to have social interactions with both humans and other animals. Providing exercise and outdoor time is essential for their well-being. That's why I always make sure to take my dogs and cats on regular walks. Additionally, I prioritize their overall health by ensuring they have plenty of nourishing food. It's all about keeping our furry friends happy and healthy!

About: My name is Melissa and I have taken care of animals since my first dog in second grade. I currently have one 15 year old cat, a 12 year old Labrador, and a 10 year old Shih-Tzo. For many years my spouse and I fostered or adopted senior dogs who may not have had a chance to be adopted. I have open availability on weekends, however on weekdays I am available early mornings, evenings and overnights. I’m not available during the daytime on weekdays. I am experienced feeding animals in a variety of ways and will follow your instructions on feeding and walking. I ensure animals are well cared for, played with, and that they receive the attention and care needed.

“Trustworthy and meticulous, Karen spent five days with my two big labs and gave them endless love and attention. Since we have no fence, she had to leash and walk the dogs a lot, and modify for the old limpy dog versus the young bouncy one. She left my house looking beautiful and even did the laundry! I want her back next time I'm going out of town.”

“Michaela was great! I know that our dogs were well taken care of because when we came home, they weren't anxious and both of them looked like they put on weight! LOL! Roxy had medication that had to be administered twice a day and she did it without mentioning how difficult it must have been. Love her to pieces and would gladly recommend her to anyone. Thank you so much Michaela!”

“Pacey's heart has always been a lover of dogs. She takes great pride in her work with all animals big and small. She will take care of your pet as if it is her own. She is responsible and reliable. I would highly recommend Pacey to care for your pets.”

“I have known Lauren for many years. She has always been an animal lover and I have great confidence in her skill to care for other people's pets. Lauren has a very strong work ethic, she is a great communicator and she has a warm personality. She has taken care of our dog and done a wonderful job. I would recommend her to others without any hesitation!”

About: I will care for your pet like it's my own. I have worked in vet office for my first job, many moons ago but never list the love for animals. And always have had pets growing up and still do to this day. I can come to your house or you can bring them to me or I can pick them up if your running late. Very flexible schedule. Have animal toys treats and crate if needed for your pet. Also have a runner for dogs to go outside. But can and will walk animal if needed or they want to go and look around town. Can supply food if animal isn't picky with bowls as well. So just trust me, I can do this.

About: Relationship with animals has always been a passion of mine. I started grooming dogs with my grandmother at the age of 10, but was her assistant long before I earned the title. It brings me joy and fulfillment to care for pups and cats alike, while creating an environment where they (and you) can feel safe and earn my trust in the process. As a part time bartender at Pascolo Restaurant in Downtown Burlington, it would fit into my schedule to walk dogs in the morning, afternoon and early evening as well as weekends. There is a lot of freedom to work around your schedule :) In my home, I live off of Main Street in Vergennes and can provide safe walking around town as well as some of the trails near by. In your home, I am quick to adapt to whatever will make you most comfortable!

About: I have had dogs all of my life! I volunteered at the humane society as a foster care provider and found homes for many dogs during this time. I worked with a veterinarian for the past ten years and provided care for his dogs. I am very active and can also run with your dog if you have a high energy breed such as a husky. I will care for your dogs as if they were my own and can also groom, massage, administer medications, recommend holistic nutritional changes, and provide any additional services that your furry companion may need. I can bring your pup to obedience classes, vet visits, or grooming appointments! I will also work with dogs that have issues such as socialization issues, manner problems, or anything else we may discuss. I currently work from home, so I am able to watch the furry friends all day. They can have a private space in the home, in the yard, or join the pack. I can customize preferences to include a hike, trail run, short walks, pick-up/drop off at your pets location, light grooming, etc. In my home I have three dogs, and they can be separate or play together if preferred. i have a large fenced yard. There is also a separate studio with a kennel if needed. If visiting a clients home, I will adjust to clients preferences and instructions.
