“We appreciate Abbey so much! She’s made being away from home so much easier, we know our kitties are in great hands. I would not hesitate to recommend her as she has proven herself to be a 10/10 per friend! She has even made friends with our notoriously shy Maine coon ♥️”
About: I have spent many overnights at homes while providing pet care. The durations of these stays have been up to a week. I do very well with following clear directions for feeding, medications, as well as other pet care needs. This includes affection and playing— I absolutely love dogs and cats! I am a teacher, which of course is a very busy job. However, I do not work over the summer, which means I have lots of flexibility in these months. I am also available during most weekends! I care for pets in my clients’ homes by following instructions regarding feeding, medications, going outside, as well as anything else that may be necessary! When owners are gone, I recognize it is best for the pets to keep their routines as consistent as possible! I respect any rules clients may have for their pets (e.g. where around they house they are allowed, any dietary limitations, and any necessary precautions to take so that the pets stay safe!)
About: I've been taking care of pets (cats, dogs, and rabbits) my entire life. One of my career highlights was working at the Philadelphia Zoo. Granted, I was working as a puppeteer, but I love being around animals every day. I currently have two beloved cats of my own, and I'm excited to meet your pets! I'm also a freelance puppeteer and writer - so when I'm between projects I have a very flexible schedule and will be happy to take care of your pets! I pride myself on being good with animals, love winning them over, and am a very empathic person. While I love a friendly creature, I'm also good at giving animals space if they're shy around new people, etc.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I’ve cared for both energetic puppies and older pets who need a slower pace and extra patience. I’m great at picking up on individual needs—whether that’s sticking to a strict feeding schedule, handling clean-up routines, or giving pets the one-on-one attention they deserve. I am free most weekdays after 3pm and open on weekends. I can guarantee you my undivided attention to your pets. I will make sure they are taken care of wonderfully. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, clean, and calm space with plenty of love and attention. I follow their routines carefully to keep things familiar and stress-free. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect the space, follow all instructions, and ensure their pet feels secure and cared for. Clear communication and gentle, attentive care help build trust every step of the way.
“Stephanie did a marvelous job taking care of my very senior (19 yo) cat in my home while I was gone. She came twice a day to feed her, clean up, give medication, brush, pet and hug her. She texted me pictures and updates at every visit. Peaches looked better when I got back than she did when I left! I highly recommend Stephanie as a very dependable and caring petsitter.”
About: I grew up with pets and have always felt that they complete a home! I’m here to help care for your pets so you can travel worry-free. I work full time but can be remote or take breaks midday to check on pets. I don’t have children so there is a lot of flexibility in my evenings as well! I can provide overnight stays for up to seven nights consecutively. I have done housesitting occasionally for years and have no problem helping your pets adjust to your absence.
About: My mother is a veterinarian with her own practice, so I grew up around an abundance of animals and know plenty about caring for them. My career allows me to choose my own schedule, I don't usually have shifts longer than 5/6 hours long. This allows me to take dogs out for walks or to a dog park, or I can just go home and hang out with my cat. I have a large fenced in yard with access to woods, plenty of local trails for dog walks, local lake of your dog likes to swim. Dogs and cats in my home, but there's a good sized guest bedroom that is kept closed of from the rest of my home if you have a pet that is less friendly with others.
“Carl the cat was in great hands with Sheryl!! She sent daily pictures and Carl didn't even seem like he missed me that much when I got home. I would absolutely have Sheryl cat sit again!”
About: I have been walking and pet sitting since I was younger. I would watch and walk my neighbors dog for them when they went away. I recently graduated from UVM with my B.S in animal science hoping to go to Vet school in the future. I have worked with more than just dogs and cats, but livestock too. I work at a vet clinic as a vet technician right now and walk/ pet sit for families in the area now. I work a full time job at a vet clinic but have availability before and after work, as well as weekends. My hours do vary on certain days so feel free to reach out regardless! I do have a good size backyard. It is not fenced in but I have do have 4.5 acres of land behind my house. There are also walk/hiking trails down the road from my house.
“Bella and Cameron are such diligent and responsible cat sitters! They sent very cute updates and photos while we were out of town, about all the activities they were doing with our cat. We will definitely be booking with them again!”
“Laura has been dependable and shows up when she says. Our pup, Ozzy, really benefits from the playtime and getting outside. Laura is great at communicating. She has recurring visits with Ozzy each week.”
About: When I was growing up my family always had dogs and cats. After I went off to college I adopted a cat named Louie from the local shelter. He just passed away recently at the age of 19. I am missing having a cat around and would love to look after your cat when you’re away. I also have two dogs (I have a senior shepherd mix and a 1.5 year old lab mix). My dogs are my priority so I can’t commit to overnights but with my days free this summer I am available for dog walking, house sitting and cat sitting. I work full-time during the school year but I have the summers off with plenty of free time to spend cuddling with some cats. I’d love to do dog sitting as well but am not sure I can commit to overnights as I have my own two dogs at home who need me but I’m open for daily support such as walks or feeding during the owners’ work hours. My dogs use a long lead out back and aren’t left unsupervised for long. When my cat was alive he had his own separate space away from the dogs as well as easier access to food, water and litter as he was arthritic.
“I was really nervous about leaving my 18 year old cat with someone else but Ariel put me completely at ease. She was so kind and caring with my cat and completely comfortable administering medication and following special feeding instructions. She also sent me great pictures of my pet each day and was very communicative about how things were going. When I arrived home my cat was content and well cared for. I would highly recommend her for any pet care situation. Thank you Ariel”
About: I am an animal enthusiast, anyone who knows me would agree. I own two large dogs and come from a family who did some amateur dog breeding, where I learned how to care for dogs from a young age. I used to work for a rescue and daycare, and have experience caring for up to 30 dogs of all sizes, as well as training and rehabilitating rescue dogs for basic commands. I am the go-to person for friends and family for pet care. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I work during the mornings currently, so I have availability for weekend and afternoon care after 2pm for local dogs. I am a grad student and will be on winter break from December 13-Jan 18 and would love to help out with your pets during that time. I am able to board or house sit for farther away pets while on break. I have a fenced-in yard at my house and I also own 20 acres for the trustworthy pups. At your home, I will keep the dog on leashes except for a fenced-in area or until I get to trust them off-leash if that is what the owner prefers. I will always follow the owners' rules for what thier dog needs!
About: I have taken care of my neighbors dogs and cats since I was around 8, (I am now 18), whenever they have needed me. I have always been the most loving animal person and will always take up an opportunity to take care of dogs! I’m currently working part time, and also in school for cosmetology. I am available Sundays and Saturdays all day, and Tuesdays and Thursdays after 3pm. I have grown up owning dogs of all sizes and lots of breeds and I recognize their emotions. I am confident in taking control over situations in the proper way to keep all pets safe.
About: Hello, I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and turtles. For the past four years, I’ve mostly been house-sitting/taking care of a good neighbor/friend turtle who I love dearly. I’ve put her to bed and cleaned her cage, along with feeding her while sitting with her for 3+ hours most days. I’ve learned to care for pets as if they are my own and love all animals. :)) Pet care is a vital and seamless part of my daily and weekly routine. Over the past four years, I have taken care of dogs, cats, and especially a neighbor's turtle, who I have grown to love dearly. Each day, I ensure that she is fed and her cage is cleaned, and I spend over three hours sitting with her, ensuring she feels loved and cared for. This routine has taught me to care for pets as if they were my own and deepened my love for all animals. Incorporating pet care into my schedule is crucial to me. I ensure my pet is happy and healthy, from morning walks to evening snuggles. Every activity, whether feeding, brushing, or playing, is an opportunity to deepen our bond and show my pets the love and attention they deserve. Balancing pet care with my other responsibilities, such as my involvement in ROTC at Norwich University for the past three years, has honed my discipline and time management skills. In addition to my ROTC commitments this summer, I am taking summer courses and have lacrosse practices. Despite these busy schedules, I always ensure that pet care remains integral to my routine, reflecting my dedication to their well-being. As a dedicated pet caregiver/Owner, my approach to pet care is tailored to the pet's needs and the environment. I prioritize creating a safe and nurturing space in my own home or while providing services for clients. This includes regular feeding schedules, enriching activities such as walks or playtime, administering medications if needed, and maintaining cleanliness through regular grooming and sanitation practices. Additionally, I strive to provide ample affection and attention to ensure each pet feels valued and loved, whether under my roof or in the comfort of a client's home.

Olivia F.
“Olivia is amazing with pets!!! I have had Olivia housesit for me several times in the past several years while having dogs in the house. She is loving and cares deeply for animals. What I’ve loved most about her is the connection she seems to have with all animals. I have a, let’s say, more difficult antisocial little dog, but Olivia only saw this as a challenge and made a point of always going out it of her way to make my dog feel that she cared about her. She did so in a quiet patient way, which earned her my dog’s trust. I have never had any issues with Olivia caring for my dogs the many times she took care of them. I’d highly recommend Olivia to take care of your pets!!”
Stoph S.
“As we travel fairly often we need to have somebody pet sitting for us, somebody we know we can trust, somebody who is loving toward our cats and dog and somebody our pets clearly are happy to welcome into our home. Stoph is such a person!”
Carlyan V.
“I had the pleasure of having Carlyan care for my cat, Toby, while I was away, and I couldn’t be more grateful for her help. Toby can be a bit shy and particular, but Carlyan was incredibly gentle and caring with him from the start. She took the time to make sure he felt safe, comfortable, and loved, and I could tell he was in good hands throughout the entire time I was gone. Carlyan communicated with me regularly, kept me updated, and followed all of Toby’s care instructions perfectly. Her calm and attentive nature made all the difference. I would confidently recommend her pet sitting services to anyone looking for a responsible, kind, and reliable caregiver. I’ll absolutely be calling on her again! – Jess R.”

Danielle S.
“The Venn diagram of Dani’s level of responsibility/reliability compared to her love of animals is a circle. You want your pet to be cared for with the same attention to detail and thoroughness as Leslie Knope? Dani is your person. You want your pet to be safe protected at all costs with the fierceness of a secret service agent? Dani is your person. You want your pet to be doted on with the love and adoration of a very present grandparent? Dani is your person. You cannot go wrong here folks. Unrelated to animals but a Testament to her skills and personality: Dani is always my first answer for “who would you want on your zombie apocalypse team”… she’s level headed, common sense, dependable, resilient, medical knowledge, ecological knowledge, a great leader etc etc. If she could confidently take on the zombie apocalypse, this position will literally be a walk in the park. (In terms of actual reference, i have a dog and cat that she has cared for for me for almost a decade) Take my word for it, your pet will be in GREAT hands!”
Olive T.
“Olive is my go-to dog and cat sitter. I have two Labrador Retrievers and two Maine Coon cats. My labs love her--she stays overnight (and lets the dogs cuddle in bed with her, which is their preference), walks the dogs, plays with them, and feeds the dogs and cats according to schedule. Olive's mother is my vet--which leaves me to believe that Olive knows how to manage and handle dogs by osmosis! She is very dependable, leaves my home tidier than it was when I left, and communicates with me (texts and photos) while I am away.”
Joyce L.
“Joyce did such a great job watching our cats! She did drop in visits and send so many amazing videos and pictures. We felt so comfortable knowing they were safe and take of:)”

Sara P.
“Sara has taken care of dogs her entire life. As a child she picked her favorite and loved it like a dolly. As an adult she has worked many different places individual people and at a rescue daycare for dogs and basically took over for the owner and ran the place giving each dog her tender loving care. She’s firm and commanding but absolutely loving and gentle. You would be fortunate to have Sara take care of your baby.”
Sydney G.

Elijah H.
“Elijah took amazing care of our 3 y/o bully fur baby Agape for 2 weeks. He gave him his meds, eyedrops, fed and walked him often and played with him as much as Agape wanted. Oddly enough, Agape accepted Elijah almost instantly (it’s odd because Agape is a rescue) and following Elijah around the house within 2-3 hours. When we return, Agape missed Elijah and was sitting by the door for over 20 mins awaiting his return. Thank you so much Elijah for taking sure great care of our fur baby. You’re apart of his pack now.”
