About: I’ve taken care of dogs & cats of all sizes, ages and kinds since I was 9! From family pets to friends’ and farms’ fur babies, I’m confident, resourceful and gentle with every being I care for. I work part-time at a café so there’s usually room for flexibility in my schedule. As an early riser, I love taking walks throughout the day and taking breaks to read in the sun and play with pets! I’m able to check in and adapt to whatever energy level your pup/ kitty is at for the time of day. Your pet is an integral part of your family so you can expect that I’ll treat them with love and affection to reflect that! I respect any requests made regarding your home space and other needs you may have relevant to caring for your pet. I find joy in capturing pets’ relaxation and adventures so you can expect detailed updates on how they’re doing while we’re together!
“So so thankful for Samantha!! She helped me out in a bind and I couldn’t be more grateful. She’s on time and walks my pup for the full time. My dog took to her instantly and I love the notes and pictures she’s provides when I’m at work. Big help, highly recommended!”
About: I worked at a vet clinic in Richmond Vermont called the Richmond Animal hospital. I worked with dogs all the time. I was tasked to help my seniors in case any dogs felt nervous or needed someone to feel secure with. Currently I am available mostly on Saturdays, Sundays, and tuesdays. I love to go out on walks when the the day breaks or stays. Though I never mind a good night walk. If a situation is given, I always calmly and efficiently find a peaceful way out of way. Im all about understanding and common ground. I look foward to bonding, not separation.
About: Hi! I’m Abby, and I’ve been caring for animals my whole life—everything from playful puppies to mellow senior pets. Friends and family always turn to me when they need someone dependable to watch their furry loved ones, and I’d love to do the same for you. I know how important it is to feel at ease while you’re away. That’s why I treat every pet like they’re my own—lots of love, attention, and consistency with their routines. Whether it’s walks around the neighborhood, playtime, snuggles, or keeping up with special diets or medications, I’ve got it covered. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine—I work on a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time for walks, drop-ins, and playtime throughout the day. Whether it’s morning, afternoon, or evening, I can adjust to your pet’s needs. When I care for pets in their own home, my priority is keeping them comfortable and sticking to their normal routine. I follow all instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications, and playtime—so everything feels familiar for your pet. I give them plenty of love and attention, but also respect their space if they’re more shy or independent. I make sure water bowls are always fresh, litter boxes are clean, and your home is left just the way you expect it. I also send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I am very new to pet care, but have loved animals since I was little. I will always be sure to handle your pets with care, joy, and respect. Thank you! Currently I’m working a seasonal job that will end October 16. After this, I will be free on weekdays and weekends. I’m very excited to meet your pets! I do not offer house sitting at my home due to my apartment building being a pet free zone. But I do offer pet play dates, dog walking, and house-sitting at your residence. I will always make sure your pets are feed, had their potty breaks, and have had their walks!

Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I have a flexible schedule and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m able to plan my days around the needs of the pets I’m caring for, whether that means early morning walks, consistent feeding schedules, playtime, medication routines, or overnight care. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I always try to adapt to what makes them most comfortable. Some pets need lots of activity and attention, while others prefer a calmer environment and a consistent routine.

About: As a lifelong dog owner, animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve owned four Labrador Retrievers over the years and currently have one lovable lab, Ellie Bear, who absolutely loves making new furry friends. My experience goes far beyond basic pet care — my first dog, Nala, had a litter of 8 puppies, giving me hands-on experience with canine pregnancy, birthing, newborn puppy care, feeding schedules, socialization, and raising puppies in a safe, loving environment. I understand the importance of patience, routine, exercise, affection, and making pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. Whether your pup loves playtime, cuddles, or simply having companionship, I treat every dog like family. 🐾 🐾 Availability & Care Schedule 🐾 Your pup will never be left alone — someone will always be home 24/7, whether it’s myself, Pep, or Kevin. We provide a safe, loving, family-style environment where dogs receive constant attention, care, and companionship. Each day includes: • Plenty of playtime and exercise • Snuggles, affection, and personalized attention • Potty breaks and outdoor time • A cozy, stress-free environment where your dog is treated like family 🐻🐾 I am currently available for: • Weekend boarding • Extended stays when needed • Flexible scheduling depending on availability My goal is to make every pup feel comfortable, loved, and right at home while you’re away! Your pup’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. We provide a loving, family-style environment where dogs are treated like one of our own. We have a large fenced-in yard perfect for running, playing, fetch, and getting lots of energy out safely. Our chocolate lab, Ellie Bear, absolutely loves making new friends, chasing tennis balls, and cooling down afterward in the pet pool on warmer days! 🐻💦 For boarding stays, I can easily accommodate your dog’s sleeping preferences. If your pup is crate trained, I’m happy to crate them when needed, or they can relax in a cozy dog bed for bedtime. And if your dog is used to extra snuggles and sleeping close to their humans, we don’t mind cuddles in bed either — we want them to feel as comfortable and at home as possible. Most importantly, your dog will never be left alone. Someone will always be home 24/7 — whether it’s myself, or Kevin — so your pup will always have supervision, companionship, love, and care.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
