House Sitting in Danby

“Danielle is a lovely spirit who truly loves dogs. Highly recommend her. Parker and Priscilla loved her, and I’m confident your pups will too!”

“Hannah took care of my 3 dogs several times over the last months. She is attentive to their needs and trustworthy. She took them on car rides and to the park, and gives them treats! They love her!”

“Lucian took great care of our dog. He was communicative and sent photos, did everything as requested and left our home as he found it. Would recommend for any pet sitting needs.”

“Dominique is by far the best choice in my book for a dog sitter. She’s helped us on several occasions, the last one for a period of 4 weeks while we traveled over seas. I recommend her services without reservations.”

“Colleen was great! Very communicative, took excellent care of our old doggo, and was neat as a pin. No hesitation about asking her to come back.”

“Tim was great! Prompt and dependable, and a true dog person. Charley was in good hands while we were away, and so was our home. Highly recommend!”

About: My family grew up with dogs and cats; the animals are treated as family. Pet sitting (and baby sitting) were part of the routine from early on. My Consulting work is done remotely, which makes my schedule flexible for Rover assignments, and, additionally leaves ample Time for getting out on the trails with tails. I enjoy being out-of-doors, and hope that some time outside is part of your furriends’ daily care plan. I believe in sticking to the schedule that clients have established with their animals for meals, toileting, play time and quiet rest.

“Cassie was awesome! She stayed at the house for a 9 day vacation we had planned and our sitter fell thru. The pups are generally scared of everything and everyone, but they warmed right up to her. The house was left in perfect condition. We will definitely be using Cassie again!”

“Mark is fantastic! We used him as a sitter for our pups over a holiday weekend and not only did they love him, but we did too. Mark's love for dogs is clear so it made trusting him with our fluffy kids much easier. We definitely plan on using Mark again in the future. Thank you sir!”

About: 1.Introduction 2.Description of home 3. Brief overview of experience 4. Policies Hi, I'm Mary! 14 years ago, My pup Lee and I started the business of walking city streets, running, swimming, hiking, boarding friends, and house sitting; all in the name of dog! Since his passing, my twin four year olds and I are looking forward to making new pupper friends. We live in a beautiful home on an organic farm. This year marks the 14th year and third state in which I've tended to puppies, dogs and senior puppers. Since moving to Vermont 8 years ago, my home has been referred to as "farm camp." This is because: pups who are able to enjoy the farm experience off leash! While I enjoy tending to the greater dog population in its entirety, senior dogs, ones who take medications, those living with physical and developmental ailments and pups nearing end of life are my specialty. While the latest DSM may not have nature deficit disorder printed on its pages, I know it effects not only people but more importantly, dogs! I value and understand that exercise specifically in the wilderness provides a focused energy released followed by contentment. Starting in Providence, R.I., Lee and I took off walking city dogs. Over time, I curated two hiking packs of dogs. All off leash, good recall and, worked together navigating trails with minimal tiffs. Between my city walkers and packs, I began boarding. While I had my regulars, I wanted to offer support in other ways. Middle of the night emergency visits, families dealing with unforeseen events and parents who needed a break even though, their pup was nearing end of life. I've waited with dogs to board planes and have been at the airport to pick them up. Arranging wedding arrivals/departures and transport to/from vets. On several occasions, I've had the honor of being there for a pup's end of life. Since this is a new space for your pup, it's important that we stick to your in home structure as much as possible. This allows them to feel more comfortable and stress free. This means I will ask for a list of usual commands, eating times, toys, blankets and beds. If your pup has any quirks, I like to know! The more information, the better! When scheduling pick up and drop off times: if you're going to be late please kindly send a text update. I am extremely flexible with times! Not communicating information is a big issue and can lead to scheduling conflicts. For every 45 minutes that you're late and lack communication you will be charged an additional $10. My rate for overnight stays are based on a 24 hour period. If your drop off to pick up time goes over the 24 hour period, I charge a prorated amount to match the time difference. If your drop off to pick up time is less then 24 hours, it is a flat rate of $40. Thanks for reading and I look forward to speaking with you. I recently sold one of my businesses to focus on an endeavor I'm more passionate about, free Lance writing. I'm also enrolled in school first time. I only take senior, free range puppers. While your dog will NEVER be out of my sight, I only allow free rangers. If you have any concerns about your dogs recall, we are not the right family for you.

“Jacquelyn was absolutely amazing with our 1.5 year old lab, Ruthie! It was our first time leaving her with someone new and it was so amazing to work with someone so responsive, assuring, trustworthy, and responsible. Ruthie loved her! We will absolutely be using Jacquelyn again and highly recommend!”

About: I was born an animal lover, starting with my love for horses I grew to fall in love with every creature I come in contact with. I've worked on farms from the age of 10 so I could get horse back riding lessons. Then worked my way to full time groom at a performance horse stable at the age of 16. At the age of 17 I started working as a part time kennel attendant at a veterinary hospital and moving up to a technician assistant, then vet tech. I have also been a full time pet groomer for 7 years. Helping to run a fantastic grooming salon that specializes in cats and medical/behavior issued animals that has strengthened my abilities and attention to details in caring for pets of all types and sizes! My daily schedule is currently wide open while i make my dream come true of building my very own grooming salon here in the mountains of Vermont. I have a fenced yard that your pups are free to roam in while being attended. They will also have the ability to play or socialize with my 3 dogs as long as they get along! If I stay at your home I will stick to any routine you have with your pets and treat them as my own. I am very active and love a good walk or hike in the woods.

“Morgan was everything we were looking and more! Kind, courteous, and clearly an animal lover at heart! We have two large, crazy dogs and she was confident yet gentle with them from the moment they greeted her at the door. Our 16 year old cat who doesn’t come out for many people warmed up to her quickly too. We wouldn't hesitate to have her come stay with our animals again!!”

About: I've taken care of many different types of animals including dogs, cats, birds, pigs, guinea pigs, and rabbits. They've been all different breeds and sizes. I am willing to travel to your home so that your pet can stay in a familiar and safe environment for them. I work full time during the summer but am available throughout the day to stop at the house when needed and am available for overnights. I like to meet with potential clients beforehand so that they can get to know me and that I can also learn more about their pets, house, and typical schedules. This creates a foundation of trust that is important to my business.

“It's clear Amelia has a genuine love for all animals. She shows a calm caring nature while with them, and brings an impressive sense of responsibility for their needs and health. All of this, as well as showing great respect for your four-legged family member. If you want a loving pet caregiver, I would highly recommend Amelia for pet sitting.”

“Bambi was so easy to work with. The pups and kitten were in such amazing spirits when we returned, and the house was even cleaner than we left it! She was very responsive, and even took a trip to the house before the stay to meet the gang, and get to know the place. Highly recommend.”

“It is so wonderful to be able to trust someone like Nate with your fur babies and home. Nate stayed for 4 nights and four days to give round-the-clock cat care to my two cats. One was recovering from surgery and he took meticulous care of her, giving her medicine and love while I was away. He sent frequent pictures and was very tender and sweet with them. I highly recommend him and will be hiring him again ASAP.”
