“Great communication and wonderful accommodations for our senior pup. Sent photos daily. Exceedingly kind demeanor (if I was local, no doubt I would grab a beer with him). We really appreciate that he sits one dog at a time.”



“So glad we found Tori! It gave us great peace of mind knowing our girls were with fellow-dog lovers (as evidenced by their love of their dogs). Tori sent us pictures throughout their stay and our dogs came home relaxed and happy. We trust Tori so much that after our first stay we booked our next two stays. I feel so comfortable going out of town knowing our girls are in good hands! Tori is a reliable, personable, and caring dog sitter. I couldn't have been happier with our experience!”

“Christina was fantastic! Zoe loved spending time with her, and we appreciated the photo updates while we were gone. We don't need boarding very often, but next time we do, we will absolutely use Christina again. Thank you so much!”


“Eric was flexible when we needed to make a scheduling change and very accommodating overall. We have one big young dog and one little old dog. Their energy and personality needs are very different, and Eric did a great job helping them both feel safe and comfortable - not easy! Communicative and kind, we are very grateful to Eric. Highly recommend”


About: Currently a golden retriever and cat mom, my love for animals began when I was a child. In my adult life, I have owned a Corgi, St. Bernard, and cats that I have cared for their entire lives. I am looking to help others in need of pet care, whether it is a daily walk or visit, or overnight boarding. I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule to help with pet care. I can provide daily walks or outside time as needed. Dogs and cats are like family to me. Your pet will be treated as one of my own - with lots of love and attention!

“Louis and Haley are so kind, responsible, and clearly dog people! We appreciated the cute pictures and great care they took of our dog. Would definitely book with them again!”



“Christina was accommodating and friendly with boarding for our 1 year old dog. We were in a tricky spot when an urgent trip arose, but Christina was great to work with. She sent regular photo updates which gave us peace of mind. Thanks again, Christina!”


“Georgia did a great job with Sage! Georgia was communicative and sent us pictures and updates. It was clear that Sage enjoyed her stay. Will definitely book with Georgia again!”


“Chelsey was wonderful to book with! She was extremely communicative and provided us with such cute pictures of our dogs! She made leaving our dogs so much easier knowing they were in great hands! Would definitely book again in the future!”


About: I am medical student currently and I grew up with a sheep dog and have two small dogs currently back home. Im interested in taking care of dogs of all sizes and have plenty of experience with walks, feeding, and medication administration. I grew up with two cats as well so I always enjoy their company! I currently live in an apartment with my cat and spend most of my day studying- so I will always take your dog on long walks and will be available to give them constant attention! I can keep you posted on your dog/cat and send pictures as well if this is something you would be interested in. I am a medical student and spend most of my days studying at home or in class. My weekends are when I am most flexible since I do not have class on those days. I have a one bedroom apartment and one cat (Remi) that can keep your pet company! I am only able to take potty trained animals at this time since I am renting.

“Marissa was wonderful with Dolly and Dolly has a new friend in her dog and also got to meet her cat which was new and went well. She was responsive and flexible and just overall great. So happy with her care of Dolly :)”


“Victoria is a wonderful petsitter. Nala is happy every time she sees her. They went hiking, great pictures and also they celebrated Nala's birthday. I am very pleased with her services. Thank you so much for everything.”


“We couldn’t ask for a better experience with Chad. Our family stayed in Smugglers’ Notch/Stowe area and our resort (if you do timeshare, you understand) doesn’t allow pets. We still wanted our dog close and finding Chad is awesome. He took the time to discuss ahead of boarding all necessary details about Pakun. He even asked for written notes and sent daily pictures and videos. We are kept updated especially with important details about our dog’s behavior. We could tell our Pakun was treated so well. Our English Springer’s hair was not tangled and he was clean when we picked him up. It is hard to believe since our dog has videos of walks, playing in the park and playdates with other dogs,he even did enrichment activities. Our dog is used to group boarding when we go on vacation, he usually comes back smelly and all tangled up. We are so pleased with our experience this time and we are so glad we brought him to have his own vacation with Chad.”



“Marine and Roland immediately put our minds at ease with their pics of Emma and all the attention they gave to her at meet and greet. They stayed in constant contact with us and we knew Emma was in good hands and looked very relaxed and comfortable. Highly recommend Marine and Roland for any pet watch. Will definitely use again.”
