About: I have always loved dogs and find it very fulfilling to work with them. I am a certified positive reinforcement dog trainer. With certificates in courses for training shelter dogs and teaching private lessons. I enjoy and have experience working with many breeds of varying sizes, shapes, and personalities. I have been working with dogs for over a decade. Have been a dog trainer for 10 of them. I have worked in a boarding facility, daycares, volunteered at shelters, and with rescues. For nearly 10 years I have been the lead daycare attendant and trainer at a dog daycare. I am pet first aid certified. I have a working relationship with local animal hospitals and also with local rescues. I can provide employer, colleague, and client references. I have access to dog parks & recreational trails. I enjoy taking walks with dogs, play training, and a good game of fetch. Thank you for your consideration! I'm available in the Lamoille county area. I work a full time job but I have long lunch breaks. I can board dogs on weekends (Thursday - Sunday). And I can house sit any day of the week. I don't have a fenced in yard but I do have access to a quiet and safe dog park. I have harnesses I put on the dogs when we leave the apartment to ensure they are safe and won't slip their collar. Some other safety precautions I use are a doggie seat belt. When your dog stays with me I require legible (preferably typed feeding and medication instructions). When I over night house sit ask that you leave detailed legible (preferably typed) instructions on your pets care, i.e. where to find dog food, and other important information about care of your home.

“Great communicator. Great patience with Lando (who was skiddish when she arrived). Would happily recommend”

About: What sets me apart... 1. I bring the full pet parent experience... [I've spent years caring for animals of all ages and energy levels—from spunky puppies to senior sweethearts with soulful eyes and slower strides.] 2. I’ve been a foster mom, matchmaker, and canine translator... [Many of the dogs I fostered found their forever homes within 48 hours. That experience taught me how to read dog body language, adapt quickly, and provide calm, confident care, no matter the dog’s temperament or background.] 2. I don’t take chances with safety... [Even the best-trained pups can get curious or spooked. That’s why I always use an AirTag when a dog is in my care. Just a little added peace of mind for us both. And, if you'd like... I would be more than happy to share our location with you too!] 3. My old dog (whose name is apparently a Rover security risk) taught me everything I know... [These days, I travel too much for a pup of my own, but I’ve still got all that dog parent energy, and nowhere to put it... except into caring for yours.] 4. I’m up with the sun (and also cool with twilight strolls). [Whether you need a one night stay or a longer stretch of house sitting, I’m flexible, reliable, and happy to keep your routines rolling.] 5. Sometimes, there’s bonus help... [Depending on his schedule, my partner (a longtime shelter volunteer) may be able to join me. He’s calm, gentle, and no joke, every cat so far has liked him more than me. Think of it as bonus ear scratches and nose boops. But your comfort comes first... just let me know your preference.] ***I am currently welcoming new clients through Rover in addition to the longtime private clients I’m lucky to work with. While I’m based in the Northeast Kingdom this summer, I’ve set my profile to Morristown to help broaden my booking radius. I regularly care for pets in the Waterbury/Stowe area and often travel to Charlotte, Jericho, and the Mad River Valley to support families I’ve built trusted relationships with.*** Here’s to belly rubs, tail wags, and all the joy our four-legged companions bring. I can’t wait to meet yours. I am working towards making animal care (dog/cat sitting and walking) my full time job... hence I have a flexible schedule and am available to care for your animals... be it on short notice or for extended periods. As a sincere pet lover with years of experience, you can trust that your four-legged ones will be in safe, capable, and loving hands. As a former innkeeper and park ranger, I bring a commitment to care and responsibility to every dog/kitty-sitting experience. I understand and appreciate how important your animal's routine is and will honor it to keep them feeling secure and happy while you’re away. I believe in the "leave no trace" philosophy, so when you return, the only sign of my visit will be a content, well cared for furry friend. Just as I took pride in leaving each space better than I found it in my previous roles, I’ll treat your home with the same respect and attention to detail. You can trust that your doggo/kitty's safety, comfort, and daily routine are my top priorities

About: My family and I are pet lovers and have 2 of our own. We live in the outskirts of town in a quiet old farm house with a backyard so plenty of space for activities. Walking, hiking, and fetch are our favorites. I have done house/ dog sitting for many friends and people in the past and now that my daughter is older I would love to get back to it. During your pet's stay, we will go for many walks as well as hikes on any of the surrounding trails. We live very close to the Rail Trail, our pup loves going for walks and jogs there. We have a nice backyard for outdoor play, we, unfortunately, do not have a fenced-in yard. Weekends are completely free for me, that's when I get free time to do fun outdoor activities with my daughter and our pup. Your fur baby will have 100% of my attention on weekends, During the week I have a full-time M-F job fairly close to home. I hope you consider our family for your fur babies' stay!

“Allison was great with our 9 month old puppy who is adorable but can be very stubborn and picky. We felt safe leaving Fluff with Allison and would use her again in the future.”

“Jen and her husband had great communication, were super friendly and did a wonderful job exercising our dog on his walk! He came back so happy and promptly laid down for a nice snooze! We can’t wait for them to come back again!”

Keely G.

“Jordin is a great communicator and answered my messages right away. She followed all of my directions perfectly and my dog Lalo had a blast with her and her dog. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again and I highly recommend.”

“Our experience with Giuliana was great! She's incredibly conscientious and thoughtful, and our dog Zoe was in great hands with her. We give her the highest recommendation, and certainly plan to use her services again.”

About: I've taken care of pets since I was a kid! Growing up, we had the sweetest yellow lab named Pete. Now, I adopt old pets and care for them during their retirement. Currently, I have a 21 year-old calico named Fern, who is the light of my life, an elderly pug named Alice, and a senior terrier mix named Edie. Somehow a young cat named Stevie also snuck into our retirement home. He keeps things lively! All our pets are friendly towards other pets, children, and people. I am an educator at the local elementary school, and am hoping to offer my services to neighbors and visitors needing pet care. My availability is generally flexible on the weekends, and can extend into the week on a case-by-case basis. I generally offer 3-4 walks per day, including one longer adventure to mountain trails, or another nearby, dog friendly destination. I'm happy to bring your pup to any of their favorite spots (within reason). Of course it goes without saying that pets are allowed on the furniture and more than welcome to snuggle in bed at night, also open to crating or any special care required.

About: Hello! I’m Katie and I’m the woman petting the dog instead of socializing at the party. My fiancé Jonny and I just relocated back to Lamoille county and we’d love to watch your dog! Aside from having our own (a dachshund named Klaus, a chihuahua foster fail named Pig and two cats, Fats and Carl) for last nine years we have boarded dogs in our home. Before leaving Philly, Jonny worked for Happy Tails of Philly as a sitter & walker for 8 years. I was formerly the GM and Boarding Coordinator for a chain of dog daycares in Philadelphia, working for them for 4 years-so it’s safe to say we are well versed with canines! I was a foster parent with City of Elderly Love in Philly and hope to foster again now that I’ve relocated to Vermont. All of our dog experience can guarantee that not only is your dog going to be safe and comfortable with us, but will have as much fun possible! Whether that’s playing fetch in the yard, going for a walk or lounging on the couch, we are happy as long as the dogs around us are! Since becoming a foster parents to seniors dogs years ago, we have gained much knowledge and experience with special needs and administering different types of medications. I have a part time job but Jonny will be home full time for the pups with separation anxiety. If you board with us, our place will be your dog’s home away from home. 💕 I’m currently working part time but Jonny is working from home so you never have to worry about your pup being left unattended in a new place! Dogs staying with us will never be left outside unattended and will always be leashed. We do have crates for crate trained dogs. All dogs we watch must be dog and cat friendly. We are currently staying with my parents and they have chickens on the property but they are separated by a fence.

About: I have owned or cared for guinea pigs, rabbits, dogs, cats, baby chicks, and even a tortoise since the age of 11. I currently own 2 cats and have experience caring for and administering medicine to sick and/or elderly pets. I am considerate of individual animal’s boundaries and their unique needs. I typically have availability Saturdays, Sundays, and Tuesdays-Thursdays. My work schedule is not always consistent, so advanced notice is appreciated. I will try to be as flexible as possible. I have lots of experience petsitting animals of very different personalities and needs. I am most familiar with cats and dogs. I am very communicative and follow instructions of the pet owner well.

About: Hi, I’m Jess, I’ve had animals my entire life, currently have 2 pups of my own. I also have worked at an animal shelter for over 12 years, which included kennel care, dogs walks from puppy, easy walkers to harder walker that needed extra guidance. Also included socializing the dogs from super shy ones to clingy out going ones. Also have cat experience from shy timmed cats to also clingy out going ones. Have experience with having to give pets meds and recovery times if needed. I enjoy talking my pups for walks, hikes and play times, Hi, I’m currently a stay at home mom to my daughter who would need to come with me time to time. I would be able to do drop in visits or walks with your pets including photos and updates while we are there. I have a fenced yard for my pups, go on daily walks. And weekly hikes. Tons of love snuggles and playtime for them. I would make sure they get everything they needed rather it’s snuggling or getting the playtime zoomies out.

“Fantastic, 10/10! Thank you! We reached out to Alaysha & Alexander super last minute when a family emergency required us to leave town for the day, and they responded promptly, and were able to take our dog for a lovely-seeming hour long walk. Would definitely recommend, hope we can use them again in the future!”

“Lauren was very accommodating especially when my schedule shifted a bit. She also was quick to respond. We will definitely use her again and I highly recommend!”

About: Hi! I love animals and my family has had dogs my entire life and I took a big role in responsibility for them. I would love to spend time with your animals. I have grown up with two dogs and have puppy trained both of them. As well as house sat and taken care of many animals. I am a student, so I have flexibility with my schedule and am available at the drop of a hat. I have two dogs back at home, who I miss everyday being at school. I always had responsibilities regarding there walks, vet visits, and daily needs. I am a routinely person and prioritize cleanliness as well as safety when it comes to caring for animals. I provide service that is consistently above and beyond the needs of clients and their furry friends! Currently, I do not have any animals. But I am an active person, I love being outside so taking care of animals needs is easy for me. My school schedule is pretty flexible for the most part so taking care of animals would be an easy task. I care for pets as if they are an actual person. I love animals so much and think they deserve to be treated just as well.

About: My schedule is flexible so I'm able to spend time throughout the day with your fur baby. I'm active and happy to play fetch for hours! I like to take puppers for multiple walks and give lots of love and pets. The clients I sit for like the fact they can contact me last minute and I'm generally able to adjust my schedule to be available. My schedule changes from week to week but feel free to contact me to double check my availability no matter the season! I like when clients leave me detailed instructions on what their pets normal schedules are, that way there's less stress put on myself and on your fur friend! I'm able to work from home most days of the week, this allows me to be available for all pet needs - morning, lunch time, and after work walks are a part of my daily schedule when we have a dog to take care of. Lots of mental stimulation and training exercises throughout the day to keep them out of trouble helps too! I have a 9 year old cat in the house that tends to keep to herself in the bedroom when there's a dog around. Our home is on 5 acres of land with a big yard to do lots of sniffing around. I'm also located right on the rail trail for longer walks and adventures!

“Tania was awesome - I am a nervous wreck when I leave town for business, and she immediately made those nerves disappear. I got frequent communications, pics and comments that made me feel much better. My dog loves her and is maybe even a bit sad that I am home and he's back to his old routine. Will definitely book with her again.”
