Pet Sitting in Berkshire

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was little, all of whom ranged from Great Danes to dachshunds. I’ve worked with older dogs all the way to puppies and have had my fair share of messes to clean up afterwards. No matter their age they are all puppies in my eyes. I work full-time as a Behavioral Interventionist in Chittenden County and my hours on the Job are: Monday-Wednesday 7:50-3:00, Thursday-Friday 7:50-4:20. Weekends are very flexible. I follow the care instructions given by the owners to the letter. If there are certain rules in place, I will ask the owner about what to expect from those rules. When there is a walkthrough before owner leaves, I like to make sure if there is any medication that the pups may need to take. I make sure to clean their water bowls out daily, and feed them the amount of food that the owner permits me to feed them. If the pups are allowed treats I will undoubtedly spoil them. If there is an emergency I ask for their vet’s phone number in case the pup needs to be taken. This is not my home and these are not my pups, therefore I will follow what the owner wants for their animals.

“Great communication and thoughtful approach to checking in on our dogs.”

“Jessica is our favorite sitter for our pups. She takes great care of them and they always seem happy and well cared for. As a bonus she takes really good photos!”

“Absolutely spectacular and highly recommend. We are so thankful to have found her! So caring and warm. Mahalo to samantha from us and our furbabies.”

About: I’ve always had pets growing up. I’ve learned to care for pets responsibly and give them the love and attention they need everyday. I make sure I’m attentive and fun for all the pets I take care of. I’m in college and can do any job during my breaks and weekends work the best most of the time. Also the summer I am mostly free. I’ll always make sure that your pets are leashed while outside and will make sure your doors are locked in case of possible intruders. I will always keep an eye on your pet so they don’t get up to mischief.

“Hayley is wonderful! Being relatively new to the area, we were a bit apprehensive about leaving our pets with a new person. From the first contact, Hayley was very friendly and responsive. We arranged a meet and greet and felt instantly comfortable with her. She took great care of our three cats, particularly our elderly lady who needs medication administered twice a day. Her updates were thoughtful and reassuring. She went above and beyond by making sure things were tidy and fresh. We came home to very happy kitties! We look forward to having her visit again!”

“Chelsea did a awesome job our 3 dogs loved her highly recommend to anyone”

About: I have feeding, walking, playing and poop cleaning experience. I have been around small and large, young and old dogs most of my life. I know all are different in their needs but they all need love and I can provide that. I have no other job so I have all the time needed for your pet. I'm available days, nights, weekends and emergency care available. I haven't had a pet not like me yet. I can follow any routine already set in place. I can give extra time and love to any animal. I will not take the care of your member of the family lightly.

“Jordin did a great job with my cat! I love that she sent me photos each time she visited my house so I knew that my cat was being well taken care of.”

“It was great having Sarah watch our dog, he really seemed to enjoy her visits! She was incredibly accommodating and kind. We've already passed her contact info to friends looking for dog sitters!”

About: I’m a dog owner myself. I have been around many dogs for the past 6 years. I’m caring and I adapt to your dog needs. I’m currently a student, mostly at home. I’m hiking daily and Jack’s always come along on the mountain, we can bring your dog too and have dog’s date. I have a fenced backyard and I have a second crate if it’s needed for your dog. My home is a very dog friendly place.

“Mary and Noe took great care of my senior feline while I was away, and I will not hesitate to book them again. They were reliable, conscientious, and very easy to work with.”

“Andrea is amazing! She was excellent with my 9-week-old puppy and 14.5-year-old lab. Highly recommend.”

“Once I had met Dakota for our Meet n Greet I knew Franklin (our love-bug cat) would be taken care of and have a friend while we were gone. She is kind and responsible.”

“Maria was great dog sitting our new puppy! She was flexible and on time, and provided updates throughout. She clearly loves dogs and our puppy clearly had fun!”

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

About: My parents bred our labs a couple of times when I was a kid, so puppies and dogs have always been in my life. In college I bought my own puppy and had her for a wonderful almost 10 years. She was my best friend and I talked to her and kissed her all of the time. She made me feel happy when my days were gray. Since then I’ve dog sat for multiple families and borrow my friends’ dogs to go for walks and adventures since I no longer have a pup of my own. I work three 12 hour shifts a week so I would love to spend my free days with dogs. I’ve watched my friends dogs even on work days because I work 7a-7 p so I can be there for breakfast and dinner. Most of the time I’ve stayed in their homes so that the dog feels most comfortable. I have no other pets in my home and your pup will get all the belly rubs and scratching they need. I love to go for walks and be active with the dogs (of course only if they’re capable)

“Rachel was great with our dogs, one being a bit afraid of humans came along very quickly. It looked like they were well fed and loved. She also kept me posted with their outings they looked like they were having fun. The house was kept very tidy, we’d use her again.”

“Simba fell in love with Ilia immediately!!! So happy !”

“Alexis took care of our 2 cats while we were out of town. My husband and I were nervous leaving our kitties with someone we didn't know. However, Alexis was very communicative with my husband and me. She sent many photos and texts about how our cats were doing. We also spoke to Alexis on the phone during our absence from the cats. Additionally, Alexis is a Veterinary Technician. The kitties seemed just fine when we returned from our trip.”
