Molly was great with our dog, who can be a bit quirky at times. She was communicative and left our house in terrific shape. Most importantly our pup was extremely well cared for while we were away!

Sarah is AMAZING! She was extremely flexible with start and end times. I appreciated that she came over to meet the boys prior to the dates I needed her to watch them. She sent pictures throughout the weekend and kept me updated on how things were going. I would definitely recommend her, and will be rebooking with her in the future! Thank you, Sarah!

About: I've had dogs since I was very little. Very comfortable with anything from small and anxious to big and jumpy. Currently have 2 cats at home, a very young senior and a old kitten. I am a full time graduate student with some intermittent periods of free time and am always looking to take a study break and go hang out with some pets. Im currently a Doctorate of Physical Therapy student at UVM. So whenever I'm not in class I'm free to spend it with your furry friend. Since I have cats, I always make sure my home is pet safe and there isn't anything around that could hurt them or get them sick.

Kristen was right on time! We had a nice meet and greet with Bruno. She was very sweet and gentle with Bruno. He is timid because we just rescued him last year. We are working on him to trust her. Definitely will have her back.

Sala stayed at my house for 5 days. She was wonderful and took excellent care of my two cats and my senior dog (he has medical conditions that require a strict medication schedule 3x a day). She was very communicative and provided regular updates/photos. I struggle leaving my senior dog with anyone because of his medical conditions, but he was in good hands with Sala and I was able to enjoy a vacation without worry :)

Avery is an excellent pet sitter! She took care of our dog and cat while we were out of town for nearly 2 weeks. Her communication was great while we were gone. Pets well taken for and had all the snuggles they could want. She clearly loves animals and that made it easier for us to leave our pets in her care. She is professional and we will certainly hire her again in the future. Thank you Avery!!!

Andrew went above and beyond getting to know my difficult reactive dog who is scared of everyone. He was calm and kindly firm with Holly which she really responded well to. He left our place cleaner than we left it!

About: I have years of experience caring for my own cats and pet sitting for both dogs and cats. I understand how important it is to find someone who treats your pets like family. Whether your dog is full of energy or prefers a slow stroll, I meet every pet where they are. I genuinely love taking long walks just for the fun of it, and I bring the same enthusiasm to every outing with your pup. I am patient, attentive, and comfortable with all personalities, from the more anxious and shy to the high-energy doggos who need a friend that can keep up. As a grad student at UVM with an open summer schedule, I am able to weave pet care into my days with ease. I love being up early and getting in my morning walk, but I am available any time of day for drop-ins, play time, or longer adventures. My goal is to make your pets feel safe and cared for. I keep their environment clean, check for ticks after every walk, and ensure they're fed, hydrated, and relaxed while you're away.

We love having Matt watch Lilly. She also loves when Matt comes to play with her, because she gets spoiled. He takes her on lots of walks and plays with her. We get lots of updates with pictures or videos.

Cheyenne did a great job watching our two small dogs in extremely cold and snowy weather. The dogs got their medications, meals and snacks. The dogs were calm and happy when we got home. She cleared a path for the girls to do their business and kept the house clean too. 10/10 highly recommend

About: I take my dog sitting seriously, and I do it with passion. I had to move away from my own pups, and would be happy spending time with another furry friend. I am careful, attentive, observant, and happy to help! Im currently working part time, 2-6 PM Monday through Friday, so weekends are great, so are evenings! If your cat or dog is okay being left alone for 4 hours thats great! I would be purchasing the right materials and things upon my first client. Recently moved out to the area, and haven't been a cat sitter since I have been out here!
