“Regan was wonderful with my baby. We did not have a meet and greet (because I did not ask for one) and she lived up to her testimonies. She followed my directions perfectly (which were extensive because I am a neurotic first time puppy mom). Blueberry loved having a visitor at a new place (I was staying at an inn) and I felt reassured leaving her for a bit on her 1st birthday. I recommend her and will definitely hire her again if I am ever back in this state. 🫐”


“Alisha took amazing care of our two cats while we were away for vacation. Our cats are sometimes shy and timid, Alisha had they out of hiding and playing on day one! Great communication and very friendly. Will book again!”


“Kristy was great! My cats are shy to strangers but they warmed up to her before the end of the week. My kitties were well cared for. I received a note and multiple pictures of my babies daily. She was very prompt and reliable and followed the instructions I left. She also brought in my mail and watered my plants. I will definitely reach out to her again when I need a petsitter again.”


About: My name is Casey, I'm a student majoring in creative writing, and I'm looking to expand my house sitting portfolio. I have been a dog walker and house sitter for three clients/families in 2025 so far and love popping by for walks every two hours with your pup. Size, barking, and puppy-ness are non-issues! I have extreme patience and good shoulders. My grandma always told me to leave the house you're visiting neater than when you got there, so I have an eye for cleanliness and I don't want you to feel like someone has been living in your home when you come back. I.E. I will ask you if I can vacuum. I'm starting school in the fall at Vermont State University in Johnson, so I am free to book any time this summer, unless I have another doggie booked that day. I'm a list maker so I like to write down your instructions when we have a formal introduction. Food, walks, potty time, play time, training, and housekeeping will all be done to your standard.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life, but in the past year have expanded my experience to include all sorts of animals, from goats to geckos to rabbits to a snail. I’m a daycare teacher by day and am looking to fill my evenings and weekends with quality animal time! I’m available for late afternoon/evening walks, weekend visits, and house sits depending on timing and location. Available after 4:30 most weekdays and on weekends! I work during the day, but may be able to handle morning visits depending on your location. Let me know what your need is and I’ll see what I can do! I live in a small apartment with my cat, so I’d prefer to care for your animal at your home. I love doing overnight housesits when I’m available! I feel this is the most comfortable option for your pet to feel safe around a new person.

About: Having 21 years of personal pet care experience, both on and off of a farm, I have general knowledge of dog obedience training, socialization training and general grooming of both dogs and cats. I am always willing to learn new things, especially for the sake of the animals that I am responsible for, as well as encourage them to have fun, feel loved and know that they are always in the best care! I have high standards for myself in this regard, so you can always expect that your pet will be in the best hands. Not only that, but you can also count on my loving your furry friend as my very own. I work full time, Monday - Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM; I take hour long lunch breaks, traveling home to care for my pup and taking care of business in between. Weekends are open, within reason, and I am willing to modify my schedule for the right person and pet. I will follow clients’ specific guidelines on how to care for their pet(s), observing and reporting anything and everything that occurs during each visit. Routine and consistency is everything, and I will follow these to a “T”!

About: Animals are children to me. Grew up with many dogs/cats & birds! Offer great at home visits to exercise, play & feed your pets! Strong, driven individual that can handle multiple large dogs at a time. Also have trained many puppies through my youth and adult life, so can handle the little ones too! Respectful to clients and pets alike, understanding the value and security of your home and neighborhood. Will always walk dogs until they poop and pee; will pet and play with them during walks and visits. Please do not hesitate to ask questions or request supplemental services. You will not regret picking me as your animals caretaker!! I am working part time with a flexible schedule, so boarding your dog takes priority. I wake up early each morning and retire around 9p I have many trails in the back of our property, with hills and fields to run in. Dogs are given all the love I can muster in the home and out on walks or hikes! Very safe environment for your dog

“Lorrie treats my pup like royalty. Extremely reliable and she goes above and beyond to care for my dog. My dog is recovering from surgery and she’s followed his complicated medication schedule with ease. She’s the best!”


About: I've cared for pets of my own my whole life (40+ years) including cats, dogs, birds, rabbits and fish, and have been a go-to pet sitter for friends and family for many years. I have my own web design business and work from home with flexible hours, so am able to accommodate pet care visits and dog walks into my schedule as needed. For dog walks: I can pick up your dog(s) in my car and take them for adventure walks on nearby trails, or walk them in your neighborhood. Your preference. For cat/dog pet sitting: If you're planning to be away and need a trustworthy pet-sitter, I'm happy to help. I'll make sure your pets are fed just the way you would feed them. I'll clean your cat's litter box, play with your cat/dog, offer snuggles, and give medications as needed.

“Alexandra was terrific! We were so happy she was able to take care of our poochies for us while we were out of town, and we were especially delighted that she bonded with our older dog, who is not fond of many people. We really appreciated her reassuring communications. Five stars!”



About: I grew up on a small hobby farm with goats, chickens, horses, dogs and cats. When I was younger I helped train 2 Border Collie/Australian Sheppard mix puppies. I have a good sense of what animals need and am very patient and loving with all animals. I have a infant daughter who will be accompanying me with most my drop in visits. She will be in a backpack while I take care of your furry friend. I am available most mornings, nights and weekends. I love being outside and love being around animals. I am active, friendly, and responsible. I can't wait to take care of your pet and give it love and attention. Looking forward to meeting you and your pet! I am flexible! I have little ones (2 young daughters) but they will be able to come with me on occasion and they are also pet lover themselves. I have a fenced in yard if needed and love going on long walks and hikes. We would get lots of play time in and happy to bring my dog along for companion if wanted.

About: I’ve been an animal lover and caretaker my whole life. I have novice vet tech experience and I’m not afraid of the feisty ones, either! I’m working full time but my shift currently runs from 5pm to 1am Tues-Sat, so I am available for walks, play sessions, and pet/house sitting as needed around those hours. Working hours subject to change every few weeks. I like to have fun with my furry friends. I’m not afraid to get down and dirty, or even rough when the zoomies come out.

“Laurie did a fantastic job with Stella! She communicated with us was very professional and went above and beyond to take care of Stella! Laurie is very knowledgeable and friendly! We will ask for Laurie’s help again. I would highly recommend her.”


“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Mara. She did twice daily drop ins and walks with my 3 Australian shepherds and kitty in my camper and followed all my crazy routines/ niche camper instructions to a T. She was timely, communicative and I know my babies were loved on in my absence. My trip ended up being delayed >30 hours and ended up with 3 additional checkins. Mara and her flexibility are the only reason I stayed sane throughout my ordeal- knowing above all my family was taken care of. 10/10. I would recommend Mara to anyone looking for peace of mind any time they need to leave town!”



About: I have been a dog owner for the past twenty years and can honestly say I could not live without them! They have so many endearing qualities: fun loving, patient, non-judgemental, the list goes on and on. My promise to you is to treat your dog with the utmost respect and care that he or she deserves. After all, they are family. I am available weekday mornings and most weekends. I can offer play time, companionship, walks around town and general TLC. I can promise you your dog will not find a better friend, other than you of course! I can also help with dogs that have special needs. When my dog was a puppy he suffered a broken leg and he had a pin in his hip for quite some time. I nursed him back to health with the vets guidance. The bottom line is I will take care of your pooch!

Anna W.
“Anna is a wonderful caregiver for pets! She treated my cat with so much love, going out of her way to spend as much time with her and recognize her needs. She also walked my friend’s dog for several weeks. During each walk she would spend extra time with their dog playing and bringing him to all of his favorite spots. She is super communicative and sent lots of photos. I would highly recommend Anna!”

Lindie M.
“Lindie was a fantastic dog and house sitter for my wife and I during a hectic time. The birth of our son left us worried that our other children would be left behind, but Lindie came and gave them the love and continuity that made our transition to an even larger family easier. She is a prompt communicator and dedicated caretaker. It was a pleasure to work with her and I would recommend her to any who's dogs are in need of love in their human's absence.”
