“Taylor was awesome with our boys. Very good about checking in and sending pics of the dogs. Kept our house in good shape while we were gone. I’d highly recommend her for your pet!”
“Whitney was a fantastic dog sitter. She was very responsive during the booking process and communicated with me regularly while I was away with notes and photos. The dogs seemed happy and well cared for, and she took great care of my home while she was here! I highly recommend Whitney!”

“Jessie was fantastic rolling with our quirks of leaving our 11 week old puppy for a few hours. She was excellent on her communication and sent lots of pictures. Can’t wait to have her back again.”

About: I've grown up taking care of dogs and cats my whole life, whether the pets are my own, neighbor's, or friend's I always go above and beyond to make them happy and feel loved! I'm currently in grad school at UVM, so I have time between classes and my internship. I'm hoping to be able to spend that time with some pets! I'm also available weekends and nights. Your pet's safety is always my number one priority, with their happiness at a close number two! I love going on walks and runs, and at home I'm all about pats and treats.
“Cheyenne was terrific. I would love to have her stay here again. She was punctual, polite, and did a great job in general. Took my energetic, large dog to the dog park multiple times. She paid attention to everything I shared with her about the animals, and they were all happy. I have two cats as well.”

“Emily was amazing! She went above and beyond my expectations while watching my senior dog, Lucky. I was updated throughout the day and came home to a well written note outlining their.day. I will definitely be using her again in the future ❤️”

“Marissa is a wonderful pet sitter! She communicated well throughout the weekend and took great care of our dog. We came home to a clean house and a happy dog! I’d highly recommend her.”

“Haley was great with our two dogs! She listened to their behaviors and they were cozied up with her all night. We are so thankful for her to allow us to be at ease for our wedding!”

“Molly was awesome with our dog Winston. She took really good care of him while we were gone for a week. Winston loved the long walks that Molly provided for him on a daily basis. You could tell that she really is an animal lover. I would 100% recommend her to everyone.”

“Emma did great with the dogs and was very respectful at the house. Even after she had a painful personal accident, she was such a pro following through with the sitting commitment. I recommend her highly!”

“Heather Rae was fantastic. It was easy to coordinate the lead up activities prior to her staying with our small dog. She is polite and very professional. Her communication was great while she stayed at our house. We felt like we knew what was going on with our dog the whole time. Our house was in pristine condition when we arrived home and there was a note from her as well. The thing that made us the happiest about Heather Rae was that she really seemed to love our dog while we were away. I would highly recommend her... but I don't want her to be booked the next time WE need her :)”

“Naomi and Hannah were great to work with. They came to the house prior to pet sitting to meet the dogs (and fish) and get the lay of the land. They communicated through out the process. They sent us pictures of how everyone was doing while we were gone. The dogs looked happy and well cared for. The house, towels and sheets were clean when we got home. Which is great when you get home late after traveling all day. I will definitely use them again and would highly recommend them.”

“What we most loved about Hailey was how quickly our animals took to her — our dogs were leaning against her within minutes, and even the cats who hide came out and let her pet them the very first night! It was comforting to leave our pets in the care of someone who clearly loves and understands animals. And though we ended up rushed and didn't have as much time as I wanted to orient her, she perfectly remembered and followed all instructions. We've already booked her again.”

“We were very happy with the house-sitting service Matt provided. He responded quickly to our initial inquiry and communicated well regarding the meet & greet and all during the stay. He asked good questions and obviously cares for animals and wants them to be happy with the routine they are used to. He sent updates and photos and also communicated when he arrived and before he departed. In addition, he's just an overall very nice and professional person which put any anxieties I would've had, aside. I would highly recommend reaching out to Matt.”
