House Sitting in Bennington

“Joey was fabulous! We set up a pre setting visit, and our dogs were immediately smitten with Joey! That set the stage for an amazing engagement with Joey. He sent daily updates and the cutest photos with clever & funny comments! Joey is a natural with dogs & we would highly recommend him!!!”

“Great with our dog! He’s a 90 lbs husky/malamute who gets daily medication and a special diet. Kelly was excellent with him! She was great with the medication instructions and feeding, took him on long daily walks, and was very caring towards him! I would 100% book with Kelly again”

“Sarah took excellent care of our dog Rusty while we were away for a week! She was very attentive to the details we shared about the nuances of our good lil pup and kept her happy. She kept us updated on how their time was going and assured us that Rusty was being a good girl. Took care of emptying our mailbox and left the place in great condition. Thanks again Sarah! Will definitely book again”

About: Hi! I’m Sydney, a lifelong animal lover with 15+ years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and other pets. Whether your pet needs a playful walk, cuddly companionship, or special care, I’m here to help! Pets aren't just animals—they're family. I treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure they feel loved, safe, and happy while you’re away. Pet care is a central part of my daily life—I structure my schedule around it! Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles, I make sure each pet gets the time, attention, and care they need. I only take on the number of clients I can fully commit to, so I’m never rushed and can give each pet quality time. I plan my day to align with their routines—meals, potty breaks, walks, playtime, or medication schedules. On weekends or busier days, I prioritize communication and consistency, keeping pet parents updated and pets comfortable and happy. As a teacher, I have my summers off and am available all day and have a very flexible schedule! When caring for pets in their own home, I follow your instructions carefully to maintain their regular routine. I ensure feeding, walks, medication (if needed), and playtime happen on schedule. I also keep your home clean and tidy—watering plants, bringing in mail, and respecting your space as if it were my own. I send updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and in good hands while you're away.

About: I’ve had a pet (dogs, cat and rabbit) since I was 9 years old. I’ve personally cared for my own pets, family member’s pets, family friends and been recommended to friends of family. I’ve walked the dogs, played with them, fed them, made sure they are taken care of, and most importantly- feel secure and loved while their loved ones are away! I’ve taken part in puppy training classes for my current dog and am familiar with calming techniques and proper training for puppies or older dogs. I’m very active and love to keep the dogs company, whether that be taking them for a walk around the block, to their favorite dog park (if okay with owners of course), or just playing fetch in the backyard! I currently work full time but am available both weekends anytime and during the week after 3 pm. I do make every effort to spend as much time as possible caring and attending to your furry friend! I make sure to ensure the pets have water at all times, a clean environment, and a safe environment free from any hazards. I personally take my dog’s collar off if he is in his crate but would check with clients if they prefer that while I am gone. I make sure they get enough exercise and play time (and snuggles!)

About: I absolutely love dogs. My wife's family has always had dogs. They currently have a German Shepard and a chocolate lab. I absolutely adore them. I have a large fenced in yard, I am also very flexible to come and sit anytime you need. I love taking dogs for a walk and I love playing with them at the park especially fetch! I am very reliable and safe and come from a dog family. I will love and care for your dog like I it is my own. My children are now in middle school and high school and they love dogs as well. I can provide loving and affection for your dog and care for it like it was my own. I hope to hear from you soon Taking care of a pet just becomes part of my everyday flow. You feed them, take them out or clean up after them, and make time to play or cuddle a bit. Most days involve quick things like feeding and walks, while once a week you might do a deeper clean or grooming. It’s not too hard once you get into a rhythm—it just becomes routine. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for, whether they’re in my home or a client’s. That includes feeding them on schedule, giving them fresh water, and making time for walks, play, or snuggles—whatever they need to feel happy and relaxed. I stick to their usual routine as much as possible to keep things familiar. If I’m in a client’s home, I also make sure everything stays clean and tidy, and I always send updates so they know their pet is doing great. I also have a fenced in yard.

“Lydia did a great job housesitting my large dog and one cat for a few days. She was a good communicator, tidy, and we loved the pics. Would definitely use again! Thanks Lydia!”

About: I've always had a passion for animals since I was very little. I was never able to have them of my own growing up because my dad was highly allergic. Once I graduated high school I moved out and rescued my first dog from a backyard breeder. He is a Pitbull mix. 4 months later I rescued my golden saint from a hording situation which ended up in all of her animals getting taken away. I realized I wanted to help save more animals so I ended up becoming a foster mom. My first foster was a 7 year old Rottweiler named Sabrina. I only had her a short 3 months before I was told she had a stomach tumor that was not curable. I unfortunately made the decision to get her cremated and the last words I said to her was " I promise I will save as many animals like you as I possibly can." I kept that promise to her after 8 years already and plan to for many many more! Fast forward to today, I have the same 2 dogs and added one more to my little family. He is a Catahoula Leopard dog and was my first foster fail. I wanted to extend my experience even more so now I pet sit/dog walk as well! I am experienced with senior dogs, puppies, aggressive dogs as well as dogs with high anxiety I have taken care of all sorts of animals such as hamsters, Guinea pigs, birds, snakes, miniature pigs, and of course cats and dogs! I treat every animal like my own and I guarantee I will become their best friend! My goal is to eventually own a building and name it in Sabrina's memory:) I am currently working part time at UPS from 4am-8am (for the health benefits) so I will have plenty of time during the day and night to play with your fur baby! I am available for in home stays in your own home, overnights, drop ins, and dog walks on week days and weekends. If you see a date that is marked unavailable please still reach out to me as I might have some spots open or a last minute cancellation for those days. It is first come first serve so book while the dates are still available! In home/overnights- This includes play time, bathroom breaks, food and water replenishment, medication administration, baths if needed, multiple walks, picture/video updates, and lots of snuggles! Drop ins- This includes food and water replenishment, bathroom breaks and a little bit of play time! Dog walking- I offer 1/2 hour walks and 1 hour walks

“Michelle was a past student of mine, but I didn’t know that until I met her!! She was friendly, and I could tell she loved what she did. I knew my dog, Otto, liked her!! I knew I would be leaving Otto in good hands. When I came home, I could tell Otto was well cared for! I would hire Michelle again, and I recommend her!”

About: I’ve had pets since age 5, and my own since 18. I’ve dealt with pets in need of cancer care, diabetic cats, dogs with orthopedic issues (not my own) and plenty of healthy animals! I spent 1 year in my twenties working at Petco and learned a lot there as well! I’d love to help with your family’s pet care needs. I treat animals like family, love to spend time with them and give them the attention they need. Are you in need of a trustworthy pet sitter? Look no further! I’m Nikki, a graduate student studying chiropractic. A bit about me: I’m a huge animal lover! So much so that I’ve offered cat and dogsitting for over 10 years and have dozens of happy customers who are happy to offer a reference. I’m also certified through AVCA in animal chiropractic - through this I’m also certified in pet first aid, and have a great understanding of animal anatomy and physiology, as well as plenty of friends in the veterinary world. I have worked with animals with disabilities, those who need IVs and medications, anxious pets, and many more. No breed restrictions apply! References available upon request! (And of course I’ll take dozens of photos of your pets to share with you if you’d like updates while away) I’m happy to offer walks and play time, company for your pets, feedings, and overnight care. In situations where owners are away for a few days, even if I am not staying in your home I will be happy to bring some schoolwork to give your pet the opportunity to have a human presence around for an hour or two in addition to the time spent actively caring for them. I have successfully administered medicines to both dogs, horses, and cats (and ferrets and chinchillas). I’ve cared for reptiles, goats, and fish as well. I have also administered subcutaneous fluids and insulin to cats, and helped ambulate dogs as large as a German Shepherd to the bathroom, and am happy to learn from you if your pet has any additional needs! I’m also trained in animal chiropractic, where I worked alongside large and small animal veterinarians and learned the ins and outs of animal anatomy - this along with my certification as a wildlife rehabilitator and experience as a dog groomer make me a great fit for your pet!

About: I understand that the worst part of your day is leaving your dog. I absolutely love dogs and will guarantee that your dog will feel safe and happy at home when he/she is with me. I am the one amongst all of my friends that watch their dogs or simply take them out for a hike because they don’t have the time or energy. I have watched dogs from malamutes to Yorkies, and I’m a very active person that loved to exercise my late dog (as of March this year) with hikes to get his energy out! However, if a walk is all he needs or lots of attention at home I am happy to do that. I am a physical therapist and have just completed my canine rehab certification to work with animals and have also recently lost my Aussie of 10 years but not ready to have another, missing my dog interactions! I’m currently working PRN around western NY- I definitely have availability at nights for the long walks they may need and daytime hours are variable according to my work schedule, just ask ! I have availability to a fenced in yard, my apartment would require stairs however. I take frequent walks and can accommodate to your dogs schedule.

“Shauna was great with out two dogs. She took great care of them and took care of the house. She kept us updated and sent pictures throughout her stay. I highly recommend her and will be asking her to dogsit again.”

About: I'm a passionate dog lover with 10+ years of experience caring for dogs of many breeds and sizes. I enjoy throwing the frisbee, walking, and taking them to the dog park! I'm committed to providing a safe and enjoyable experience for your furry friend. I currently work full-time at a daycare and am pursuing an undergraduate bachelor's degree in Business Administration. Therefore, pet care is typically only available to me on Tuesdays and weekends. I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. I prioritize their comfort, safety, and well-being. When caring for pets in their own homes, I follow their routine as closely as possible, ensuring they feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I'll feed them on their usual schedule, take them for walks or playtime, and administer any medications as directed. I'll also pay attention to their behavior and any signs of discomfort or stress.

About: From the first moments I could remember, I have always been around and caring for dogs and cats. I'm also a professional equine bodyworker, with medical experience that is easily translated over to our smaller, 4-legged friends. I take a gentle and intuitive approach with animals, focusing on positive reinforcement. I will care for your pets as if they were my own. I have plenty of flexibility in my schedule. If staying at your home, I will never be gone for more than 8 hrs at a time. Weekends are usually no issue to schedule around either While staying at your home, I stick to the routine you have developed with your pets to make it as stress-free as possible. I recognize the importance of structure with dogs and cats, and losing that while their humans are away can be a big stressor. I will do my best to act as an extension of you while you are away to ensure the most personalized care.

About: I’ve been working in the veterinary field for 6 years and have had tons of hand in training in emergency care as well! I work with large and small animals and can also groom your pets as well! My schedule is very flexible and and I can accommodate to any needs! I just need at least a weeks notice, which would be much appreciated! I have had years of training and hands on experience caring for pets in all matters of their health and wellness and would be able to give your pets the best care!
