“Cheyenne was terrific. I would love to have her stay here again. She was punctual, polite, and did a great job in general. Took my energetic, large dog to the dog park multiple times. She paid attention to everything I shared with her about the animals, and they were all happy. I have two cats as well.”

About: I have years of experience caring for my own cats and pet sitting for both dogs and cats. I understand how important it is to find someone who treats your pets like family. Whether your dog is full of energy or prefers a slow stroll, I meet every pet where they are. I genuinely love taking long walks just for the fun of it, and I bring the same enthusiasm to every outing with your pup. I am patient, attentive, and comfortable with all personalities, from the more anxious and shy to the high-energy doggos who need a friend that can keep up. As a grad student at UVM with an open summer schedule, I am able to weave pet care into my days with ease. I love being up early and getting in my morning walk, but I am available any time of day for drop-ins, play time, or longer adventures. My goal is to make your pets feel safe and cared for. I keep their environment clean, check for ticks after every walk, and ensure they're fed, hydrated, and relaxed while you're away.
“Sala stayed at my house for 5 days. She was wonderful and took excellent care of my two cats and my senior dog (he has medical conditions that require a strict medication schedule 3x a day). She was very communicative and provided regular updates/photos. I struggle leaving my senior dog with anyone because of his medical conditions, but he was in good hands with Sala and I was able to enjoy a vacation without worry :)”

“Molly was great with our dog, who can be a bit quirky at times. She was communicative and left our house in terrific shape. Most importantly our pup was extremely well cared for while we were away!”

“Jessie was an absolutely wonderful house and cat sitter! She took great care of my two cats and made sure they were well loved and looked after while I was away. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Jessie sent regular updates and photos, which I really appreciated. I felt completely confident that my pets and my home were being thoughtfully and responsibly cared for the entire time. I would definitely recommend Jessie to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive house and pet sitter!”

“Whitney provided excellent care of our dog and cat as well as our house! She was communicative during her stay and even willing to adjust plans when our flight got delayed. Thank you, Whitney!”

“Sarah is AMAZING! She was extremely flexible with start and end times. I appreciated that she came over to meet the boys prior to the dates I needed her to watch them. She sent pictures throughout the weekend and kept me updated on how things were going. I would definitely recommend her, and will be rebooking with her in the future! Thank you, Sarah!”

“We've used Matt's services in our home several times now and will continue to. Our pets are well loved while we're away (pics to prove it) and very relaxed when we return. Thanks Matt!”
“Kristen was right on time! We had a nice meet and greet with Bruno. She was very sweet and gentle with Bruno. He is timid because we just rescued him last year. We are working on him to trust her. Definitely will have her back.”

“I felt very at ease leaving Luna with Kimberly. She gave me regular updates on her and I could see she genuinely cared about my dog. I have already recommend her to friends and will absolutely rebook with her in the future!”

“Disa took great care of our boys and house while we were away for the weekend. She was very easy to work with and provided regular updates as well as photos. Highly recommend working with Disa!”
“Best dog sitter ever! I have 3 dogs (2 under the age of four) and one that is a super senior that requires daily medication and a cat, so, hard to find the perfect dog watcher. Chris did amazing! I got pictures everyday and they went on many walking adventures”

About: I have been taking care of dogs for over 6 years. I enjoy getting to know your dogs routines and working to make them feel as happy as possible while you are away. I am great at setting up sniffaris, am happy to go on adventures or walks, and will send you lots of photos! I’m currently working part-time so I can be very flexible. I can offer house-sitting services and also drop-in care throughout the week as you need. I am a calm person who takes the time to get to know animals. I will make sure your pet is comfortable and will keep your space clean while you are away.

“Nina was awesome! She regularly kept us updated and was very good with communication throughout her stay with our dogs. She went above and beyond. I could'n't recommend her more and we will definitely be using her again to care for our dogs in the future!”
“Super polite and accommodating and bonded query quickly with our dog, Sophie. Andrew was also house sitting with Sophie and we barely knew he was here as he cleaned up behind himself and left lights on for us as we arrived home late. I will use Andrew again in the future, thank you Andrew”

Brooke was absolutely wonderful with our two big dogs, including a high-energy 1-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog. She was professional, thoughtful, and easy to communicate with, which gave us a lot of confidence while we were away. Throughout the stay, Brooke took excellent care of the dogs and kept us updated, allowing us to enjoy our trip knowing they were in good hands. We came home to happy, relaxed dogs and a home that was incredibly well cared for. Brooke went above and beyond and treated both our pets and our home with great care and respect. We would happily book with Brooke again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, responsible, and caring pet sitter.

Sala stayed at my house for 5 days. She was wonderful and took excellent care of my two cats and my senior dog (he has medical conditions that require a strict medication schedule 3x a day). She was very communicative and provided regular updates/photos. I struggle leaving my senior dog with anyone because of his medical conditions, but he was in good hands with Sala and I was able to enjoy a vacation without worry :)

Cheyenne did a great job watching our two small dogs in extremely cold and snowy weather. The dogs got their medications, meals and snacks. The dogs were calm and happy when we got home. She cleared a path for the girls to do their business and kept the house clean too. 10/10 highly recommend

Jade was fantastic! She house-sat for our two dogs and did an amazing job. She was responsible, followed all of our directions and preferences perfectly, and kept us updated throughout the stay. The dogs were happy, well cared for, and relaxed when we returned, and the house was left clean and as we left it. She was flexible, very responsive, and clearly cares about the pets she looks after. We’d definitely recommend her and would happily book with her again!
