“Kaylea did an excellent job for us with our three cats while we were away for three weeks. She kept in regular contact and we came home to find everything in great order. I highly recommend Kaylea and look forward to having her back again for future cat care.”


“Kailie was a great sitter. She updated us with lots of photos of Misty, and it was really comforting knowing our pet is safe and well taken care of. Thank you Kailie for taking care of Misty. She seems happy and not her usual depressed self whenever we come back from a vacation. Seems like our cat really liked Kailie! Thanks a lot and we hope to book her again in the future!”

“We wrote to Mark about our pup Leo and he was immediately open to come meet us first to make sure it was a good fit and was a great communicator, answering all of our questions and us answering his! He even came a bit early when our pup was stressed being alone. I highly recommend him!”


“Loved the communication and pic!”


“Cassie is such a sweet person who took amazing care of my two fur babies. I am a travel nurse so I had to leave my dogs home while I traveled away for 5 days. This was the first time and I was so scared to leave my fur babies. Cassie quickly put that fear to ease and met the fur babies before hand. She came by and my husband and I immediately got a great vibe from her. While I was away, Cassie sent me videos and pictures of the dogs. I was always updated and she communicated perfectly. She also took good care of our place. We will definitely be using her again! She is heaven sent. Ps: my dogs loved her!”


About: I've been happily caring for animals, big and small, since childhood. I've always been relied on for long-term dog sitting while neighbors were out of town. Friends of mine with exotic pets, or pets with special needs, also rely on me to take care of their animals while they are busy. Similarly, I have work experience at a doggy daycare and a puppy school for about half of a year each. Both of these businesses practiced positive reinforcement and gentle training strategies. My family's two sweet dogs taught me the value of ensuring that pets are clean, healthy, and fulfilled. It makes such a huge difference in everyone's lives! My schedule is very open currently. I am flexible for the majority of the week with these exceptions: I am unavailable on Mondays after 4 pm, and Sundays are my day off. I don't offer house sitting on Saturday nights. When first meeting dogs, I work patiently and generously with them to ensure they are comfortable with my presence. Throughout my visit, I use positive reinforcement strategies to ensure dogs stay comfortable and happy with the city environment while I am present.

About: Hi! My name is Aly and I’m 18. I love going on walks and playing with cats and dogs. As well as just lounging around. I am currently in school, so weekends and nights would work best until mid May. Over the summer I will be available at all times. My dogs were all crate trained, its always an easy way to keep them calm. I am used to multiple strong dogs pulling on walks

About: I have lived on a goat farm for the past 10 years now. I have grown up with animals of all sorts like: dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, goats and more! I have a lot of experience in taking care of pets as it is what I do at home. I will be working part time in Dorset, Vermont. My schedule will vary; however, working in Dorset and living in Jamaica gives me freedom and time to spend with animals. I always make sure to first of all treat any space that isn't mine with kindness and respect. Making sure the place is left as if you weren't even there, just with happy pets is my goal.

“She was amazing! She was very communicative. Takes amazing pictures. She even stayed longer than what I booked for which was so kind of her. She’s very compassionate for the animals she takes care of.”


About: I have cared for numerous cats and dogs in my life. Sometimes up to 7 at a time for one household. I am from a large family with many different pets and routines, allowing me to use intuition and experience to guide my stays. Patience and kindness are a must! I work a full-time job that has flexible hours between 7am to 11pm, 5 days a week, 8 hours a day. This field allows me to leave work for up to 1 hour a day in order to let animals out every 4 hours or so if your pet is not comfortable with a full 8-hour day. I like to watch how the owners interact with their animals and use this as a model for how to treat each pet individually. This allows me to use my own judgement but create a familiar environment for your fur baby!


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

“Josephine took excellent care of my elderly cat, Lucy, while my family and I were traveling for 2 weeks. She visited our house daily to give Lucy her medication, snacks, and purr-filled couch hangouts. I would definitely rebook in the future! Thank you, Josephine 😸”


About: I have about 8+ years experience with pitbulls, boxers, golden retrievers and labs. I also have experience with puppies and one of my own dogs is a senior. *(fyi) I homeschool, so there will be times I bring my daughter on walks with me. She is great with new dogs and knows not to pursue unwanted attention if the dog seems stressed out. I work part-time (mainly on the weekends). So I have plenty of time throughout the day to devote to enriching your dogs life and getting needed exercise. Mondays-Fridays are my general availability. I have 2 (high energy) dogs. So I'm very experienced in maintaining a calm energy and long walks to relieve anxiety. I'm also experienced with pulling and overall difficult walking type dogs.

“Very dependable, friendly, cats get good care.”


About: For five years I have been pet sitting for coworkers, family, and friends. I have cared for small to large dogs, some lazy and many very high energy! I love being able to play with the pets to get their energy out and give them a good petting afterwards. Generally, I am available both ends of the day and most weekends. My full time job is flexible for the most part and can create my schedule to accommodate different gigs. I primarily have experience with overnight pet sitting at the client’s house. I am comfortable with both rural and more city environments. Privacy is important for me, so I will always respect the client’s privacy of their home. If uncomfortable with overnight stays, I will gladly travel to the client’s house in the morning and evenings to care for their pets.


“Donald was awesome. Reliable and great communication. I totally trust him with my animals.”


About: Hello folks, I am an experienced animal caretaker with a background in fostering pets. I have cared for dogs, cats, other domestic pets, and farm animals. My clients, friends and family have entrusted me to watch their animals since I was 12. I believe that direct communication with pet owners will allow me to provide a safe and engaging experience for your animals. I work part-time from 10 am - 2 pm throughout the week. My work days change frequently but I am available outside of these hours for your caretaking needs. I will not be providing services in my home at this time. For pet sitting and walking services, I am available to stay in your home or do daily check ins. My goal is to be an accessible source for your animal while you travel or are at work. I will be available 24/7 via email or text after you book my services. Please provide me with any medical, dietary, or enrichment needs for your animal when you book my services. I always adhere to my clients wishes and will do my best to stick with your pet’s daily routine while in my care. If you have a dog who is friendly, I can provide additional enrichment with my three year old pup Zeus.

About: I am a well experienced dog owner, having had at least one dog since I was 8. I currently have two dogs, Moose and Banyan. They get along well with other dogs and people. I love dogs, cats, and animals of any kind. I am highly respectful and dependable, with references I can provide if desired. I have reliable transportation and a private property that I own. There is no fence, however, there are six acres. If you want to get pictures and check ins, even videos I’m your pet sitter! If you want minimal updates and to not worry about a thing, I’m also your pet sitter! I also have experience providing medications and can keep continuity with your training preferences. Thank you! I work from home most days. Other days I am flexible to come home for restroom breaks or bring them along. When I work from home I am near the animals. A client’s pet will be treated like my own. I have half the house where pets are allowed and if needed I can separate animals into different areas of the house.

“David is amazing with animals! They watched my puppy while I had some medical issues and it was so helpful.

David took all that worry away and treated my pup like family while I was in the hospital and dealing with very difficult circumstances. They were beyond wonderful and my dog loved them so much!!”

Coryn B.

I am very picky with who I let watch them because they have specific feeding and care instructions, she followed all of them well and devoted a lot of time to their care. I can tell she is an animal lover and really cares about their well being. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone.”
