“Simply amazing! Rushi sent cute photos and updates to put my mind at ease - Alan had a blast with her family and sweet little toddler. They took him on walks, gave lots of love and kept me updated throughout :)”

“Elsie had a wonderful time with Chelsey and her family. Chelsey sent us lots of pictures. Elsie spent a lot of time outside playing and loved the family dog. We will happily use Chelsey in the future!”


“Marissa was wonderful with Dolly and Dolly has a new friend in her dog and also got to meet her cat which was new and went well. She was responsive and flexible and just overall great. So happy with her care of Dolly :)”


“Great communication and wonderful accommodations for our senior pup. Sent photos daily. Exceedingly kind demeanor (if I was local, no doubt I would grab a beer with him). We really appreciate that he sits one dog at a time.”


About: I've taken care of dogs since I was really young and have always had a love for animals; especially dogs. My neighbors and friends always had me house/dog sit when they went on vacation. My favorite thing to do is take the dogs to trails to run or walk with them. I'm currently a SAHM to my 5 month old son and three dogs looking for some extra money. I am available all week to walk dogs, check-in on them, board them, or stay at your house to care for them. I have three dogs that love to play with other dogs and exploring that many different mountains here in Vermont. I grew up always having at least six dogs among many other animals so adding an another dog or two to the pack for the day or weekend isn’t that big a deal. I just want to be able to give someone else’s dog a fun time because all dogs deserve to run around sniffling whatever their hearts desire. While I don't have a fenced yard your pets will be safe. I make sure to leash any dog before opening the door. I also make sure to take any dog in my care to a safe place where they are able to get the exercise they need.

About: Currently a golden retriever and cat mom, my love for animals began when I was a child. In my adult life, I have owned a Corgi, St. Bernard, and cats that I have cared for their entire lives. I am looking to help others in need of pet care, whether it is a daily walk or visit, or overnight boarding. I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule to help with pet care. I can provide daily walks or outside time as needed. Dogs and cats are like family to me. Your pet will be treated as one of my own - with lots of love and attention!

“Eric was great! He sent me pictures and videos and kept me updated. My dog has epilepsy which Eric handled like a pro. Will definitely be using Eric in the future to watch my pup 😁😁”


“Christina was fantastic! Zoe loved spending time with her, and we appreciated the photo updates while we were gone. We don't need boarding very often, but next time we do, we will absolutely use Christina again. Thank you so much!”


“Victoria is a wonderful petsitter. Nala is happy every time she sees her. They went hiking, great pictures and also they celebrated Nala's birthday. I am very pleased with her services. Thank you so much for everything.”


“Kanchana was available for a last minute need that arose. She was extremely responsive and accommodating and took great care of my 7 year old German shorthair pointer mix - lots of cuddles and love!”



About: I have been working in the animal care industry for 17 years starting when i was in high school. In that time I have been a vet assistant for most of my jobs. I have worked for companies like Best Friends, ASPCA, Banfield Pet Hospital, and currently work at Burlington Emergency and Veterinary Specialists. I also have experience working with larger animals other than dogs. I have worked at zoos and wild life rehabilitation centers, wolf refuges and even done some free lance whale research. I am willing to care for multiple pets if you have more than one but we will have to discuss this. I am also willing to take care of other types of pets such as birds, reptiles, and rodents. I look forward to meeting you and your pet(s). Currently a stay at home dad so I'm available most days depending on my son's needs. But most times scheduling won't be affected as he is now in daycare. I have lots of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and sizes, this includes special needs pets who require administration of daily medications.

“Louis and Haley are so kind, responsible, and clearly dog people! We appreciated the cute pictures and great care they took of our dog. Would definitely book with them again!”


“Sarah was wonderful to work with, very communicative. We were able to do a meet and greet in advance to make sure our dogs would get along (they did!). Sarah sent a picture or video daily (sometimes multiple times a day). It was nice to get updates on how our dog was doing, so we didn't have to worry on vacation. We will definitely use Sarah again!”



“Marine and Roland immediately put our minds at ease with their pics of Emma and all the attention they gave to her at meet and greet. They stayed in constant contact with us and we knew Emma was in good hands and looked very relaxed and comfortable. Highly recommend Marine and Roland for any pet watch. Will definitely use again.”
