“The pictures and little notes that Chad leaves about each check-in are very helpful! I like to know the cats are okay when I’m away! I have Chad booked for another check-in this Saturday then I have Chad booked for another weekend later in June! He’s reliable, a good communicator and flexible with my schedule changes/adjustments.”
“Georgia did an incredible job pet-sitting my cat while I was away. She is extremely professional, very responsive, and a great communicator. It's also clear she truly cared about my cat and wanted to provide the best possible care. She also had a tremendous amount of respect for my place and practically left it the same way I left it. I strongly recommend!”
“Dana was awesome, and both Chester and Perry loved her! Her photos and updates were great, and everything was taken care of as it should be. We'd definitely have her drop in again.”
About: I have always been around pets of all kinds; reptiles, house pets, farm animals, even a tarantula. I am caring and attentive and up for anything! I work from home and set my own work schedule. Pet care can fit right into my flexible schedule. I would love to have a companion on my walks, as I listen to my podcasts!! I like to do my research on a particular pet if I am going to care for it. This ensures I will properly handle and care for the pet, as they vary!
About: I grew up with litters of German Shepherd puppies which sparked my lifelong love of animals. As adult, I raised and bred Labrador Retrievers. I now share my home with five cats, two Labs and six chickens. I'm also a proud grandparent to two wonderful grandchildren. Retired and living in Vermont. I'm recently retired and spending my time doing what I love most. Beling arond animals. I enjoy going on walks, playing and simply keeping pets company. If you ever need a little help with your furry friend whether it's a walk, some playtime, or just a visit while you're out. I can take them to the dog parks or to the waling paths.
“Haley went above and beyond! A third party had left a vital door open and my cat ventured out - Haley let me know immediately, did all the leg work of contacting Rover's support line, got a fb post going, spent a ton of extra time poking around hiding spots outside and even went out and purchased tuna to coax her back home. It was a scary experience but I'm so glad Haley was there for it and that my cat friend is safely home thanks to her efforts with her daught. First time using Rover and glad I did, the support the company offers in this kind of situation is spot on and beyond what I would have expected!”
“Lauren handled a stressful escapee dog situation very well — stayed calm and managed to get our tricky dog back on the property. She’s lovely and clearly a dog lover. I will definitely plan on using again.”
About: Since as early as I can remember I have grown up with dogs, and other animals. I have experience in caring for dogs, cats, horses, and some exotic animals as well (small and large animals). I am always ready for a challenge and love spending time with any dog! I have experience in a variety of dog training areas including hunting dogs and service dogs. I am also a pre-veterinary student with basic animal care knowledge! I have worked with a variety of breeds ranging from retrievers and pointers to terriers and toy-breeds. I love working with dogs of all ages and am capable of caring for newborn puppies and your older furry friends! I also have over nine years of house-sitting and pet-sitting experience. Caring for pets is one of my passions so it is easy to make it a part of my daily routine, even while I'm working! Please note, I do work full-time and as such my week-day schedule is typically limited but I am happy to discuss specific options. When caring for your pets they become like my own. I supervise outside time, even if there is a fence and always keep them close!
About: I've always loved all animals. I have not only owned dogs and cats my whole life but have owned ferrets, hedgehogs, birds. I even fostered a baby raccoon once. I am available to house/ pet sit Friday evening through Sunday even. And will be flexible for house/ pet sit other days of the week. I am friendly, professional and flexible. I love animals of all kind. Enjoy going for walks and playing fetch. Also enjoy relaxing around and giving belly rubs. :)
“Maria has taken care of our sassy 20-year-old cat Pippi more than once. Maria is very communicative, always sends photos with feedback, and is gracious enough to cater to the idiosyncratic habits of our very senior kitty.”
About: I've cared for all kinds of animals including farm animals like chickens and goats to typical house pets, Right down to a sugar glider once I have a wonderful schedule that allows me 3 days off. With school getting ready to pick back up again and winter on its way. I'm looking for a little extra income and what better way than to spend some hours with the best things on the planet, pets! Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday are my days off so those are the days I will be available most often. Though, because I don't leave for work until noon, I would be open to morning drop-ins when possible on the weekends. It's important for pets to know they're taken care of fresh food and water. Some play time and company clean litter boxes and walks. Their comfort is key.
About: I’ve had dogs in my family my whole life. I have a weiner dog named Vinny that I adore. I jump at all opportunities to dog sit for friends and family. I am a mom looking for extra income to better support my growing family. I am open to any opportunities, and look forward to hearing from you! I will show your furry family members nothing but love! I love going on walks, so It would be nice to have a walking buddy!

Janice C.
“I got my 2 Labradors from Janice 9 and 10 years ago now. When the puppies were old enough, before they came home at 8wks she would let me come visit them as often as I liked. While visiting you could see what good care she took not only of the puppies, but her old 3 adult labs Shadow, Coco and Zoe (my dogs mom). They were all very well trained and behaved. She is very knowledgeable about raising and caring for dogs. As my 2 were adapting my their new home with me she was available whenever I had a question or needed advice. There are very few people I would completely trust to care for my boys, Janice is absolutely at the top of that list, I wish she still lived in the area!”

Kristina C.
“Katt watched my two dogs and one ferret. She was wonderful. It was great to have a farent (farent parent) watch my little guy. Most people don't really know what they are doing with exotics. It was cool to hear she has experience with snakes too. I didn't need her for that, but my neighbor did so it was super handy. Very sweet girl.”
Jessica M.
“Super helpful despite a last minute change and chaotic situation!”
Nicole W.
“Each year I take a trip to Aruba and Nicole stays at my home and takes care of my dog. I have found Nicole to be extremely responsible, caring and trustworthy. She has a dog of her own and truly loves animals. It is my experience, that I state without doubt, that you would be lucky to have her care for your pet.”
