House Sitting in Vergennes

“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!”

“Anna is the best! Always our first choice when scheduling a sitter for our dog. She has so much love to give, is reliable and takes good care of the house. It's nice to have someone we trust completely!”

About: I have had pets in the family for as long as I have been around. I have my own 9 year old dog and a family Great Dane. I have pet sat for both young playful puppies that need to be exercised constantly as well as old pups that need extra care and bathroom breaks. I’m good with both big dogs and little I’m currently looking for a part-time job so I’ll have plenty of time to take your pups on walk or spend the day with them. I am available on weekdays as well as weekends I currently don’t have the capability of taking your pets to my home but depending on services you would like if there’s no fenced in yard walks are just as easy.

“Hollie took great care of our two dogs, one high energy and one older, and of our house. If not for the great photos she sent we wouldn't have known she had stayed there. Her dog Freddie is very sweet and was a great companion for our younger dog. Hollie was willing to do a gradual introduction since our dog can be tricky on his own turf, and she was flexible when our travel plans changed. We will definitely turn to her for future dog care!”

“Laura was terrific with Brody. She was very communicative, sent photos and made both Brody and me feel at ease. Thanks, Laura!”

“My dog's name is Alaska, she's a 12-year-old dog who loves Nicole. Whenever I have to go on a trip, Alaska stays with Nicole and I have never had any problems. I'm very sure it doesn't miss me when I go on a trip.”

“Gwen did an amazing job with our kitty Whiskey! We went away for a long weekend, and she consistently sent us photos and updates everyday. We came home to a very content and happy baby (and our apartment just as we left it)! Thank you so much Gwen!”

“Paul was great to work with! We have one reactive dog and one blind sweetheart. Paul took the time to visit in advance and meet them both so everyone was comfortable before his stay. He learned their quirks and commands so he could work with them while we were away. Looking forward to working with Paul in the future!”

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

“Kristy was a great find!!! She was responsive in her communication with me; she was willing to do multiple meet and greets prior to my trip to help my nervous dog get comfortable with her; she took great care of my pups while I was away and left my house spotless. It was a pleasure to work with her!”

“Kristina watched our very sweet, but slightly anxious and quirky dog as well as three cats for a little over a week. She was great! Our animals were loved and well cared for while she was around. She communicated effectively throughout the stay. I would use her again and would recommend her.”

“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!”

“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.”

About: I worked at the Humane Society for almost 3 years and have experience working with all different personalities and needs of doggos! I am super flexible, caring, and passionate about all four legged friends. I have a very flexible schedule with part time remote job that allows me to work around my animal drop-in schedule. Your animals will be my first priority :) I will go as slow as the animal needs, and want to ensure to them and their humans that they are in very good, caring and trusting hands. I will love your pets as they are my own. <3

About: I have always had dogs my whole life and I love to be around animals of all kinds! I have worked at a kennel and a small animal hospital, where I had the opportunity to handle and play with all sorts of sizes, breeds and temperaments of dogs. I love going on dog walks, since it’s so special to be able to interact with a dog in a more relaxed environment. I think that exercise is a crucial part of a dogs life and I would love to help anyone that may not have quite enough time to get their dog out and about as much as they would like to. I have an extremely flexible schedule! I am a college student who's home for the summer and looking to spend some quality time with some furry friends! I can easily work around whatever schedule works best for you. I am happy to accommodate any specific requirements and needs your pet may have! Having grown up with and worked around all types of animals, I understand that every pet has different needs and how important it is for them to have a routine.

“Miah has been absolutely amazing with my 2 puppies (1 year 2 months, and 4 months). My larger one is 60 lbs and she has no issues walking him, and he can be a handful sometimes. She is very reasonable, flexible with scheduling, and gives detailed updates if you’d like them! I have only good things to say about her, and would 100% recommend her to any dog owner!”

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!
