House Sitting in Chilson

“Melissa is one of the best! This was the first time that I left my 3 pups, and Melissa was so comforting to them while I was away. I have a pup that is very anxious and she warmed right up to Melissa. This was house sitting and the house was immaculate when I arrived home. Honestly, there arent enough words to express my appreciation. Thank youso much, Melissa! I will, without a doubt, have you sit for my pups again and again.”

About: I have had fur babies my whole life! I currently have an 18 month old pitbull/mastiff mix named Rocco and a 3 year old black cat named Salem. I have experience with cats and dogs of many different breeds such as; Pitbulls, Chihuahuas, Beagles, Labs, Minpins, Dobermans, and retrievers. I also have experience with raising chickens, water fowl, and goats! I am not working at this time, so I am available all through out the day. I am able to work around your daily routines. I am unable to provide boarding services at my apartment because it is too small. However, I am able to come to your home and provide walking services. As well as company for your pet. If allowed, I would bring them to the dog park to get in some good runs.

“Trustworthy and meticulous, Karen spent five days with my two big labs and gave them endless love and attention. Since we have no fence, she had to leash and walk the dogs a lot, and modify for the old limpy dog versus the young bouncy one. She left my house looking beautiful and even did the laundry! I want her back next time I'm going out of town.”

“Tara-Lynn is the best dog sitter I've ever had. She took excellent care of my dog Lola and sent me plenty of pictures. She also did not leave any trace of a mess in my place.”

“We asked Meghan to house sit our 3 dogs and she was great!! We did a meet and greet before and she came to the house with treats in her hand! The dogs absolutely loved her. She sent lots of pictures and made sure that we knew the dogs were well taken care of and not to worry about them!!”

About: *PRIVATELY INSURED✅ *CPR CERTIFIED/FIRST AID TRAINED 🩹 ***Please be sure to look through my entire profile, photo album and reviews before reaching out, thank you!*** Growing up in a small town in Vermont, where there were more cows than people, I developed a passion for all animals early on. I spent my summers in high school working with horses before working at my first dog daycare and haven’t stopped working with dogs since! Over the last decade, I have worked at well-regarded animal care companies in Vermont and around the Boston area and recently transitioned from a top-rated dog training/off leash hiking company to providing private, full-time dog care services. Fun facts about me: •I love sharks ◡̈ •I went to school for Graphic Design Serving Middlebury and adjacent communities, my mission revolves around the care and enrichment of my furry friends so I will be with your pup at all times! As someone who has worked with countless animals with many different personalities, making each one feel safe and welcome is most important to me. It is my job to create a clean, safe and fun environment. Your dog will have access to my fully fenced in private back yard with my supervision throughout their stay! I understand that every animal has different needs and desires and I will do everything to make sure your furry family member is comfortable!

“Thank you Lillian, for taking Finley at the last minute for us. Finley seemed to really like you and you kept us updated throughout your visit with him including pics!! We will definitely call on you again to watch Finley!! Many thanks!”

About: Relationship with animals has always been a passion of mine. I started grooming dogs with my grandmother at the age of 10, but was her assistant long before I earned the title. It brings me joy and fulfillment to care for pups and cats alike, while creating an environment where they (and you) can feel safe and earn my trust in the process. As a part time bartender at Pascolo Restaurant in Downtown Burlington, it would fit into my schedule to walk dogs in the morning, afternoon and early evening as well as weekends. There is a lot of freedom to work around your schedule :) In my home, I live off of Main Street in Vergennes and can provide safe walking around town as well as some of the trails near by. In your home, I am quick to adapt to whatever will make you most comfortable!

“Very responsive and great with the dogs. Very flexible as our plans changed last minute. Would not hesitate to book her again if we come back to the area.”

“Jess watched our dog and cat for the first time over the weekend. She let us know when she arrived and sent a photo. She was responsive to our texts so we felt comfortable being away.”
