Pet Sitting in Brattleboro

“Maggie is a great pet sitter. She always knows what she’s doing when it comes to taking care of animals whether it’s house pets or farm animals. I’d say she has great experience and I would definitely trust Maggie to watch my dog or cat. She’s done pet sitting for me and she is 5 stars for sure.”

“Heather took great care of my animals. Love the pics and the detailed notes.”

About: First, it was cats. I had cats underfoot in my home from childhood well into adulthood. That translates into years of experience caring for cats, and approximately one metric ton of kitty litter scooped. Then I became an adopted dog father when I moved in with my partner and their dog, who we’ll call “Lady.” I was a remote worker, so I got to spend just about all day, every day with Lady until her passing in 2021 at the age of 12. Since then, I’ve kept dogs and cats in my life by caring for the pets of my fellow community members as if they were my very own. I have a reasonably flexible schedule, but good communication and coordination is important, especially in the winter. Weather and/or other hazardous conditions can impact my ability to provide services. Before our first engagement, I will meet with you to learn about things like: * Your ground rules for me when interacting with your pets, or anything else in/on your property. * If applicable, how to safely enter and exit your home and/or property. * Your preferred walk routes, dog parks, and other activities involving outdoor exercise. * Day-to-day care. Meal times, potty routine, etc. We all know that pets can have an uncanny sense of time. It helps me to have a general idea of what your pet might be expecting, and when.

“Chris is great. Very playful and attentive. My dog loves him!”

“Alaina was amazing! She has a wonderful calming presence and her love for animals is evident. Excellent communication and Otis loved her. I would highly recommended Alaina and we will definitely reach out again for help with Otis.”

“Wonderful, kind and reliable.”

About: I have been around all different kinds of animals since I was a child and have always had a special love for them. All pets deserve unconditional love and kindness, and I am here to help with that! I am working full time from home and am able to adjust my lunch break for pets that need a walk or need someone to check in on them! I am available after 5 on weekdays and am completely free on weekends. Each pet has their own personality, so care will need to be adjusted to meet the needs of each pet. I have plenty experience in high energy dogs as well as very lazy dogs. Some need pets, cuddles, and a walk whereas some will need lots of running around to get their energy out! I am capable of both and will honor what you feel is best for your fur baby.

“Amelia did a drop-in visit to walk Ilo. We had a get-together the evening before when she took time to get to know Ilo, me, and my place. She is very kind and respectful, honest, and funny. She sent the picture as promised and was generally very responsive. It is also very clear that she loves animals very much and knows what is good for them (that includes respect of their personal space, which I liked very much). Cheers!”

“Sawyer was such a big help with my dog, we booked her super last minute so we were very grateful she was able to fit us in her schedule. My do is very anxious and fearful, but Sawyer did an awesome job checking in on her and making her feel comfortable. Would book again in a heartbeat!”

“It is my pleasure to let you know about Margaret's love for animals. She has cared for and nutured my pets over the years. Minnie , my current dog is sweet and also very active. It is assuring to know that my pet caregiver has the energy to keep up with her. Margaret is also very intuitive. My pup is not very verbal when it comes to her needs. Minnie speaks with her eyes. Margaret has learned what each expression means. I have watched her with her pets and other along the way. I can say she is a kindred spirit.”

“Julia did a great job taking care of my cat while I was gone. Everything was clean and Misty was alive and well. Thanks Julia!”

“We feel fortunate to have Jillian care for our cat when we are out of town. Her communication has been excellent and she seems to truly enjoy the time she spends with him.”

“Brandy has provided excellent kitty care for several of our cats over the years, as we are frequent business travelers. We have gratefully left our pets and house-sitting duties for the past 7 years in Brandy’s capable hands. She’s a lifelong animal-lover and is an affectionate and attentive “auntie” to our pets - providing playtime & snuggle time, as desired. She’s great with pups & multi-pet house-sitting , too - performing these duties for other friends in our circle. My husband and I gladly recommend her to our friends- and to you.”

“We’ve had Amber drop in on a few separate occasions now and have had a great experience each time. She’s been attentive to both dogs behaviors and makes sure to check in with questions or concerns. I have a peace of mind when Amber visits if I’ll be away from home for an extended time during the day. Based on the photos, the dogs definitely have a great time with her too!”

“Kendra was willing to go above and beyond what we expected from her time taking care of our cat, Velvet, and was very patient while we worked out a miscommunication with our landlord. We hope to have Kendra take care of Velvet again in the future!”

“Deb stepped in when we were out of town and our dog sitter got sick and couldn't care for our dogs. She left us wonderful updates after each visit filled with information and photos. I felt our dogs were well taken care of the whole time. We arrived home to a wonderful note and dog treats for our pups.”

“Megan did a great job feeding my 2 cats while I was on vacation. They were on a twice a day schedule and she made sure to feed them in yhe mornign and night. She also stayed a while to give them affection and attention. When I got home everything was locked up tight, and everything was just as it was when I left.”

About: I've wanted a dog since as long as I knew they existed but never had the resources to have one of my own. So when I was 12 I got my first dog-walking job and I never looked back! Though I've never had my own dog, I've had the privilege to care for numerous furry friends, of various sizes and personalities, including Doyle the Catahoula Leopard dog we fostered. I moved to Brattleboro in September 2019 and had to leave my 2 cats, Nibbles and Tricks at home. Now do to housing rules I cannot have my own pet which is why I am so excited to take care of yours! I am a student at New England Center for Circus Arts and spend my weekdays there, but I can care for your pets in the morning, evening and during my lunch break at noon. I can give your pet even more attention on weekends! I travel a lot but when I am in town I have a very flexible routine that can mold to the needs of your pet! I am unfortunately unable to care for pets in my own home, but well I am at your home, I ensure your pet is kept safely and out of trouble!

“Michelle is warm, friendly and great with dogs! She is knowledgeable about the care of pets and the Rover particulars. She handled our Kenneth beautifully and we have already rebooked. Great communication, we recommend her services highly.”

“Abby is amazing with animals. She goes out of her way to make dogs feel happy and comfortable around her, and knows how to soothe even the more anxious ones. I would highly recommend her services!”
