About: I have always been around pets of all kinds; reptiles, house pets, farm animals, even a tarantula. I am caring and attentive and up for anything! I work from home and set my own work schedule. Pet care can fit right into my flexible schedule. I would love to have a companion on my walks, as I listen to my podcasts!! I like to do my research on a particular pet if I am going to care for it. This ensures I will properly handle and care for the pet, as they vary!
About: I have grown up with dogs in my life since day one. I have learned how to take care of puppies with high energy to old dogs that need help going out to the bathroom. I have been dog watching for over 8 years and I am used to working with Rover. I’m also available for weekly/reoccurring meetings! I work retail part time and on break from school at Northeastern. I am available most days and have a few shifts a week. I’m free for morning and night walks and for dog sitting too! I will cater to the dogs needs and adjust how I act depending on visual signs. I’m ready to run and puppy around to get out energy. I’m prepared for a dog who is scared and will take time to get use to me.
About: Throughout my life, I’ve always surrounded myself with animals. Ive owned horses, dogs, and cats and also have extensive experience with rescue dogs who have endured trauma. I have yet to meet an animal that I haven’t befriended and continue to work closely with rescues and assist people in rehoming their pets. I just left my job as a social worker and am currently pursuing my MSW. I am looking for a part time gig to help get me through school, so my schedule is pretty open. :) I normally go for a morning walk with my own rescue pup and then hit the yoga mat and get some school work done. My schedule is very flexible. I have a rescue dog who does not get along with other doggos (disappointing but we respect his boundaries). Therefore, I wouldn’t be able to house your doggo at my home but open to house sitting and for advance notice clients, I can have my father watch my dog for a week or so.
About: I've loved and taken care of pets since I was a child. We currently have 3 dogs and 2 cats. Two of our dogs are 5-year old Husky/German Shepherd litter mates (1 male & 1 female) and our other dog is a 13-year old male Border Collie. So, I have experience with very active dogs at all stages of life! We've had both of our cats since they were kittens and our oldest is 10 years old. And they couldn't have more different personalities. The youngest (male) is a lover and very vocal. Our older girl is an aloof princess. I have an hour break during the week and I'd love to spend it with your best friend! Weekends may be available as well in the future. I'm comfortable walking your dog on a leash, playing with them in a fenced yard, feeding, and crating your pet when finished - whatever their routine may be, I can go with the flow!
“Julia was everything we could wish for in a cat sitter and more! She communicated well from the initial inquiry throughout the entire visit, including sending us pictures of our cat and letting us know how she was doing. Julia has a ton of experience caring for animals and cats especially, and didn't bat an eye when I explained the unusual feeding routine or medicine needs of our cat. I highly recommend Julia for anyone in the Springfield area. You are in safe hands!”
“Hayley was absolutely wonderful with our cats and even got the shy one to come out and say hi by the end of the week! I was always so happy to get updates and appreciated the detail included in each one.”
About: I've always loved all animals. I have not only owned dogs and cats my whole life but have owned ferrets, hedgehogs, birds. I even fostered a baby raccoon once. I am available to house/ pet sit Friday evening through Sunday even. And will be flexible for house/ pet sit other days of the week. I am friendly, professional and flexible. I love animals of all kind. Enjoy going for walks and playing fetch. Also enjoy relaxing around and giving belly rubs. :)
About: I grew up on a farm in Lowell. We always had plenty of cats and dogs to play with. And I have always loved animals. I have experience with watching dogs regularly for a home with 13 dogs so that has been quite the adventure but I love it. I love to give them treats and play with them and just plain spoil them with attention. The owner was concerned about them taking to a new person but they took right to me. Pets do seem to take to me well. And now I am looking for more furry friends so I hope you will contact me! I work from home and I make my own hours. So I am quite flexible. I can do overnights or day visits or walks. I am in Newport Center village but am willing to go within 20 minutes depending on the job. For overnights on a regular basis I may do about 25 minutes away. If you are in Newport Town, Newport City, North Troy, Troy, Jay, Coventry, Irasburg, and Derby these are all well within my area. Others like Brownington, and Barton and Albany and Derby Line and maybe Craftsbury are possible depending on situation. As far as safety, and trust, I mostly do sitting in the client's home so I will do whatever the client wishes, and make sure the pets are safe.
About: I've cared for all kinds of animals including farm animals like chickens and goats to typical house pets, Right down to a sugar glider once I have a wonderful schedule that allows me 3 days off. With school getting ready to pick back up again and winter on its way. I'm looking for a little extra income and what better way than to spend some hours with the best things on the planet, pets! Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday are my days off so those are the days I will be available most often. Though, because I don't leave for work until noon, I would be open to morning drop-ins when possible on the weekends. It's important for pets to know they're taken care of fresh food and water. Some play time and company clean litter boxes and walks. Their comfort is key.

Shannon S.
“I have known Shannon for almost two years now, and she has one of the sweetest, more caring souls I know. She absolutely loves animals and is very responsible with her own personal pets. I also believe that having this job would be really good for Shannon; she likes to help others while also making some extra money on the side as well as walking some pretty cute dogs.”
Jordin S.Star Sitter
“Jordin did a great job with my cat! I love that she sent me photos each time she visited my house so I knew that my cat was being well taken care of.”
Hayley M.
“Hayley grew up around animals and has a special connection with them! She rescued a dog from the south and had to undo everything he knew and turn him around from being untrainable to trainable. She also had to address his behavior and work on a better temperament! Her dog moogie did a complete turnaround and is a lovely dog. In conclusion she is very energetic and would treat your dog with the utmost kindness!”
Caitlin S.
“Caitlin is a very responsible, very honest, very capable person. Her love for dogs is contagious. She owns three of her own. Caitlin has taken very good care of my dog while on vacations. She treats them like her own children. You will be happy knowing you have a responsible pet parent caring for and walking your dog.”

John R.
“I recommend John Raboin for pet caregiver. I have watched John work with the pets and he really does love animals. He is always patient with them and attentive to their needs. He enjoys feeding them and playing with them. If you want someone dependable who will show up and give your pets the care they need, then I highly recommend John.”
Kristina C.
“Katt watched my two dogs and one ferret. She was wonderful. It was great to have a farent (farent parent) watch my little guy. Most people don't really know what they are doing with exotics. It was cool to hear she has experience with snakes too. I didn't need her for that, but my neighbor did so it was super handy. Very sweet girl.”
