About: I have always had dogs growing up as a kid. Then I started dog sitting for my neighbors and realized what I wanted to do in life was take care of animals for the rest of my life. Went to college to become and vet tech and currently help out with locals rabies clinics every spring. I am currently working full time in Middlebury. And as of now I do not currently work weekends, but that will be changing in the next month or two. I currently live on a farm,and my boyfriend's dog is a super friendly lab who loves to play ball.

Friends & family have relied on me to walk, feed & housesit for their animals. I work full time time job but I have most mornings free. My schedule rotates so I would not be able to have the same availability every week, but please reach out with dates & times! I would love to make something work. I can come to your house and walk your dog. If you are interested in an overnight board at my house the dog would have to be good with my 15lb poodle mix & two cats. It would be ideal that the dog comes with a crate to stay in, as my dog is crated as well when we are out of the house. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I live near a dog park, and in a nice spot to walk dogs.

About: With experience as a kennel attendant, I have worked with hundreds of different dogs, and am comfortable walking the smallest toy breeds to giant breeds like mastiffs or Great Danes. I have worked with a variety of different personalities and am capable of caring for terminally ill, disabled, or special needs pets! I am currently a college student and mostly spend my time studying if not hanging out with my own pets. I’m available for drop-in visits Monday morning-afternoon, all day Tuesday, Wednesdays and Thursdays after 3, and Fridays until 2 at this time. I am also available Saturdays and Sundays after 4! I care for everyone’s pets as if they’re my own - following their owner’s schedule as closely as possible to ensure their comfort and keep them stress-free! I also like to send owners updates with photos to ease any anxiety about being away from your baby!

About: My adult daughter brought home a pup 4 years ago and I have been forever changed. I now get the unconditional love thing. I want to be around animals more than I do people!!! SO I am relatively new at it but very enthusiastic and want to help the owners. For the summer, I wanted a little more freedom in my life so I am choosing to try pet care for three days a week, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Currently, I am not available for weekends - although there might be an occasional weekend I might be available. I am happy to care for pets in your home and will adhere to all your guidelines! I would also love to care for your dog in my home, although it is rather small.

“Julia does such a fantastic job with our rambunctious dog Maya! Julia is patient and encouraging with Maya and communicative with us on how things are going with Maya. We are very happy with having Julia as a walker and sitter for Maya.”

About: I’ve grown up with a love for all animals, some could say I live in a zoo. I can guarantee your pet will have a blast with me! My experience consists of my own pets, watching others animals and volunteering. I’ve just graduated from bc college and work a full time job from 7:30 to 4:30 most days. I’m available after to take your pets on walks to stretch their little legs. As of right now, there are 3 dogs in my household. They are taken outside frequently and know exactly what time they eat their meals.

About: Over 16 years training, walking and exercising high energy dogs. I have extensive experience with working dogs, special needs dogs and have certifications in dog obedience and other disciplines. I am licensed as a public school teacher and fully background checked. Contact me for the best care. Boarding and adventure daycare is my speciality. I have limited housesitting and drop in availability. Dog walking and exercising is my full-time job. I want to provide a concierge service that makes it easiest for you to take your time back and be well. Your wellness is key to your dog being well. My joy for this profession started when I couldn't find a trusted sitter and dog walker for my own animal. I decided to provide that service to others so they wouldn't have the same problem. I give love, attention and exercise to your family member as if they were my own. I am a licensed public school educator who is fully background checked with glowing references that can be provided and contacted.

About: My family home had 3 German Shepherds while I was growing up, and since then, I've cared for a golden retriever and my current pet, a Calico cat. I'm very comfortable caring for pets of all sizes/ages! I'm working in a full-time remote capacity in which I set my hours. I'm available to check in with your animal(s) or go for a walk as needed! I will treat you, your animal, and your home with complete respect. I have always valued the role our pets serve in our lives, and I understand the complication of needing someone trust-worthy to care for a pet.

About: I’m a lifelong cat lover who understands that every feline has their own unique personality — from curious kittens who want to explore every corner to laid-back seniors who just want a sunny spot and soft pets. Over the years, I’ve cared for cats of all ages, temperaments, and special needs, including administering medication, maintaining feeding schedules, and keeping litter boxes fresh. I know cats thrive on routine and trust, so I take the time to earn their comfort — whether that means interactive play, quiet companionship, or just respecting their space. I’m also experienced in reading feline body language, so your cat will always feel safe, understood, and loved while you’re away. I work part-time, which gives me plenty of time to give your pets the love and attention they deserve! I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekdays, perfect for walks, playtime, and cuddles when you can’t be there. I believe pets feel safest when they’re treated like family. In my care, your pet will get plenty of love, attention, and a calm, comfortable environment. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine — from feeding and walks to playtime and cuddles — so they feel right at home. I will always put your pet’s safety and well-being first.

“responsive & super helpful last minute!”

About: I have over 10 years of experience as both a dog-sitter and cat-sitter. From high-energy large dogs to senior cats with special needs, I have done it all — and I love them all the same. My lifestyle works well for pets that require someone to be with them 24/7 due to factors like separation anxiety, medical needs, potty training, and more. I currently work from home, so I am available around-the-clock. My schedule works well for animals that need a high level of care or attention. I have a large, un-fenced yard for potty breaks and will always use a leash. In my home, we have a very small (4 lb.), low-energy female senior poodle and two low-key cats that keep to themselves. Your animals will need to be comfortable around both small dogs and cats in order to stay with us.

“Our pups seem to really like hanging out with Haley. I will definitely ask her to come again.”

“Laura is always on time and spends quality time with my baby girl, Snow. Because of the past heatwaves she has not walked Snow out on the hot pavement, thank you Laura! She spends quality time with her outside and inside getting as much play and potty time Snow needs. Highly recommend!”
