“Nicole was perfect with my pup! Definitely recommend!”

About: From a young age, I knew my life’s work would involve animals. I began horseback riding at age ten and quickly expanded into caring for the lesson horses, later managing a boarding barn and earning my riding instructor’s license. After moving to Vermont, I worked at an animal shelter for dogs and cats, which inspired me to pursue a degree in Veterinary Technology. For over 15 years, I’ve worked as a Certified Veterinary Technician, gaining extensive experience in animal care, health, and behavior. Now, I’m excited to focus on providing pets with comfort, safety, and companionship while their people are away. I'm currently working part-time so I have plenty of time for walks and visits. I'm available on the weekends for boarding and a couple of days during the week. I have a fenced in yard and two dogs to keep your family member company. We have lots of land and trails to walk on. I have a large crate available if needed.

“Janice was so wonderful to work with. She is a very experienced pet sitter and she cares deeply about animals. She is an excellent communicator and stayed in touch with me and sent photos throughout our time away. She was really committed to making sure our dog was cared for and that we were able to have peace of mind while we were away. I really appreciate her care and am very glad we connected with her on Rover.”

“Cassandra watched our 2 cats for 5 days we would definitely ask her to come back! She was timely and sent picture updates even telling us when they were more lovey that day :)”

“First time using App. Whitney was prompt in her response and arrival time. Sent photos and text before leaving to ask if there was anything else that needed to be done. All around a great experience”

About: I promise to keep your fur baby safe and happy as can be while you're away. I will provide playtime, walks, cuddles and a lot of attention. I am very interactive and not afraid to be goofy in order to make a genuine connection with your pet. Don't be afraid to leave me detailed instructions- I get it and have fur and feathered babies of my own! I am able to walk up to 2 to 3 big dogs at a time and feel confident in my abilities to give commands and appropriate rewards/disciplines. If your pet(s) gets dirty, I will bathe them as well as clean up any messes that occur. I also will keep your home sweet home neat and tidy so you never come home to a mess. I have grown up with pets and have always owned one or two.. okay, maybe 3 at a time. I make genuine connections with animals (wild ones, too) and would love to give them the opportunity to get outside all season long (even in the winter). If your pet would like an adventure buddy and companion who will distract them from your absence then give me a shout. Feel free to contact me with questions and concerns. I would be more than happy to chat with you!

“This was the second time we’ve worked with Kim, and we were again impressed by her care and level of attention to detail. It was comforting to know Spruce was in good hands, and we wouldn’t hesitate to use Kim again.”

“Amber was great with our dogs. She always sent us updates when she checked on them and we loved all the pictures she sent us. Our dogs really seemed to like her and didn't seem stressed at all!”

About: I’ve spent a lot of time doing long term dogsitting as well as drop in feeding/walks. I have experience with puppies, seniors, and everything in between! I’ll be your dog’s new best friend! I work part time Monday - Thursday so I am usually available for sitting or drop in visits Friday - Sunday, as my schedule allows. For overnight and day care for dogs I am available to travel to your home to sit for your pets. For walks I can travel to your home and walk them around your area, or I can pick your pup up and bring them on a hike or trail walk!

“Super helpful despite a last minute change and chaotic situation!”

“I went on a ski trip with my family and we needed somebody to look after our dog at the hotel while we skied. I am so happy we found Giuliana who is trustworthy and reliable. Plans ended up changing last minute but she was extremely flexible and understanding. In addition to this she was so sweet to Denali. We came back to a smiling pupper:)”

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: What sets me apart as a pet caregiver is my deep intuition with animals and my commitment to treating every pet as if they were my own. I don’t just walk dogs I build trust, create routines, and tune into each pet’s individual personality, energy level, and comfort needs. Whether it’s calming an anxious pup, entertaining a high energy dog, or caring for senior pets with medical needs, I bring patience, genuine love, and attention to every visit. Pet parents often tell me their animals respond to me instantly and that peace of mind is something I never take for granted. Pet care isn’t just something I do it’s part of my daily lifestyle. As a proud owner of a 6-year-old male beagle, caring for animals is second nature to me. Every morning starts with a structured walk, feeding routine, and a quick health check to make sure my pup starts his day right. Throughout the week, I prioritize time for play, socialization, training reinforcement, and grooming not just for my own dog, but for the pets I care for as well. Whether it’s weekly check-ins with repeat clients or adapting to each pet’s seasonal needs, I plan my schedule around their well being. Year round, I stay up to date on pet safety, behavioral cues, and seasonal health concerns, because I know consistent, thoughtful care makes a real difference. Having a beagle myself, I understand the importance of patience, routine, and enrichment and I bring that same heart and dedication to every animal I care for. When caring for a client’s pet in their home, I prioritize comfort, routine, and trust both for the pet and the owner. During check-ins, I make sure your pet has fresh water, is fed according to your instructions, and gets some love, attention, and playtime tailored to their energy level. For dog walks, I stick to familiar routes unless otherwise requested, always using safe, secure leash handling and staying alert to your pet’s cues and environment. I respect your home just as much as your pet leaving everything clean, locking up properly, and sending timely updates with photos so you know your furry family member is in good hands every step of the way.

About: I have taken care of animals of all kinds, from cats to cows! I love animals of all kinds and am excited to meet yours! I am currently working a few jobs part time, so I will be able to provide attentive care for most of the work week and weekend. I have an unfenced yard and a park right in front of my house. The neighborhood is great for walks. My home is large and I am comfortable staying in clients homes.
