“We had a great experience with Lori house sitting our American Bully & Pit mix. Lori asked questions ahead of time, reviewed our instructions, and sent us text and photo updates. We couldn't have asked for anything more. We really appreciated all of her communication.”

About: I love all animals, I do have experience with medication administration, or reactive types of dogs. I am experienced in senior care or helping in training puppies while I care for your pets I currently work per-diem, and attend school full time. I have weekends free and evenings and always free to pop in most times especially overnights. My pup sleeps with me, he is spoiled like my own child. All my animals are well cared for and happy. I am comfortable stopping in for checkups or walks or even overnight stays


8. Casandra B.

“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!”


9. Dominique M.

11. Michelle S.
“I have met many animal lovers in my lifetime, but Michelle is one of the top most loving and passionate pet sitters that I know! She is dedicated and gentle when caring for pets of all sizes, and I am always touched to see her excitement whenever she works with cute pups and kitties. Michelle is so wonderful with animals, I would make her my number one go-to sitter for my pets when I adopt one some day!”




12. Bambi D.

“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.”


13. Amelia P.
“Excellent Puptaker! My elder dog was one of her main clients for 2 years and they both developed inseparable bonds! 10/10 and would recommend to anyone!”


14. Meghan D.
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.


15. Hanna S.
“"I can't recommend Hanna enough! She took such wonderful care of my dog while I was away, providing not just the basics of feeding and walks, but also plenty of love, attention, and playtime. My dog was relaxed and happy when I returned, which speaks volumes about the trust and care she offer. Hanna is professional, reliable, and truly passionate about animals. It's such a relief knowing my dog is in such capable hands when I need to be away. Highly recommend!"”


16. Erica M.

“Erica was amazing! She stayed the weekend with my girl, Lucy, while I was out of town. I had zero stress all weekend wondering how Lucy was doing. Erica sent constant updates and took the best care of My number one gal.”


17. Zarina W.
About: I’ve always took a liking to animals and always had postive bonds with them. Over the years of growing up my grandfather owned several big dogs and cats. While others would shy away, not me I always helped out and didn’t mind watching them. I only work mornings and part time so that I have time for my cat as well because he needs to be watched. After my morning shifts I have all day to spend time outside to walk the dogs and get them their daily exercise. Caring for any pet at my home or others will be very similar I will need to know any notes and any restrictions for me and the dog. As I would give them my complete attention so that it’s a little vacation for them as well as subtracting feeling neglected.

About: Hi I'm Asia nice to meet you I have been working with pets for about 8 years now . I have had my own pets my whole life . walking them , playing with them, keeping them company, feeding them, and bathing and grooming them . I love out doors and going for walks but if thats not what u want ur pet to do I am fine with being in the home with them as well . I also can dog sit pets at my own home as well if ur on vacation and need a sitter . I Also have experience in giving pets medication . PLEASE keep in mind I do have a small Shih Tzu poodle mix named Sevyn who is 5 months old and will be in my home ( for the ones who need me to take home their pets ) . If you are not comfortable with them together I do have a extra room where my dog can stay in the meantime . I have had 3 cats , and 4 dogs in my 23 years of life , I am very experienced and trustworthy with fur babies . I hope to be hearing from you soon . Thank you This fits into my daily routine because I have a small pup myself . Every day I take him for 3 walks , feed him 2 times And play with him daily . This is my normal routine . If your pet is in my care I will ensure that they are as safe as possible so if you do not want your pet around other pets I can make accommodations I have a two bedroom house and can separate them I also have a large cage where the dogs can take turns spending time and playing with toys. When I am in your home I will follow all the rules you want your pets to follow or routines that you have had with them to ensure their safety .
