Pet Sitting in Essex Junction

“Great availability and great with our big obnoxious dog and our small obnoxious cat! Repeat customer and will definitely keep hiring her. (Jamie if you’re reading this I’m so sorry I forgot to finish and tip until now!!)”

“Jaz was great as always while we were out of town. We will definitely continue to have her visit our pets if she’s available! Easy to work with and great communicator”

“As always we LOVE having Mildred take care of our Zippy boy! I cannot recommend her enough. She goes above and beyond the call of duty and hangs out with Zippy to make sure he gets some love while we are away. In the three different times we’ve booked Mildred she has managed to work magic with our generally-unsocial big and he plays with her and gets pets from her-magic! She sends great pictures every day and sends reassuring messages about how your pet is doing. BOOK MILDRED.”

“Sophia is a wonderful pet sitter. I have seen firsthand how kind, respectful and responsible she is when caring for other people's pets. She is my first choice to watch my own, and she should be yours, too. Animals love her!”

“Josh was absolutely brilliant. Extremely professional, responsible and reliable. Great communicator with humans and animals alike (lots of fun photos while we were away). He looked after our two cats for 4 days and we couldn't have been happier. When we returned home our cats were calm, well-fed and happy - food dishes were washed and litter box area was tidy. Josh will be my first choice from now on when we have to leave our cats next time.”

About: I am currently in my undergrad on the pre-vet track, but when I am not studying I have worked as a vet assistant for 4 years, volunteered at a wildlife rehabilitation center for 3 months, and taken care of family members pets. I have also been surrounded by my own pets my whole life and been involved in their care. I am currently a full time student, but I am available most afternoons and mornings! My schedule is pretty set for each week, but there is room for flexibility! I have had many experiences with nervous dogs at the animal hospital and know how to calm them down and make them comfortable if necessary. I have also dealt with some aggression in dogs, and am very aware of my actions.

“Lauren was awesome and did such a good job watching our girl while we were away. The pictures she sent were awesome and really eased the stress of being away”

“Machara is wonderful! I’m a traveling nurse new to Vermont and was overjoyed to find her. She is responsive and reliable and takes great care of my pit bull, Tyson. During her drop in visits meets all his walking, playing, pottying, and cuddling needs. She also sends lots of great pictures :) she is definitely an animal lover!”

“Colleen lovingly parented both a Newfoundland and a Saint Bernard alongside her two-legged offspring, and for a long time I was fortunate enough to dogsit her animals from time to time. Now that I have resided my first dog, Colleen and her family have provided expert and compassionate care to my pooch on many occasions and I highly recommend Colleen and her family as cater for your best friend too!”

“Michele B. is an experienced and loving dog owner, whose care and concern for her own dog make her someone you want caring for your dog. Making certain her pet had proper nutrition, exercise, proper veterinary care, and time for snuggles, her dog always knew he was loved. I would trust her with any pet I had.”

“Sarah was a fantastic friend for Benny! She took him for walks, played in the yard, was very attentive to his needs and kept us in the loop on his activities. We’d recommend her to anyone!”

“Brooke has been a wonderful and reliable pet sitter and dog walker for our two dogs. She's always there when she says she will be and we come home to two much happier dogs in the evenings when we work late. She's very organized, and professional, and immediately put me at ease knowing she would take exceptional care of my dogs. Cannot recommend her enough!”

“Sage is a wonderful sitter. She watched my cats for 10 days—every day I received a wonderful story about what she did with them. I can tell they were in good hands.”

About: We got our family dog, Lucy, when I was just 3 years old, and I’ve grown up taking care of her. She’s now 16 years old, and in the last couple years I’ve taken on most of the responsibilities: walking and feeding. I check for ticks daily, bathe her monthly, and schedule & take her to all vet + grooming appointments. I also take care of my Aunt’s dog, Kasper, along with their cat, Sammy, when their family goes on vacation! I take pride in knowing that they feel at ease when their pets are in my hands. I’m currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I’m available most weekdays, and my schedule is flexible. I currently live in a small apartment, so coming to you and your pets would be preferable. I can simply stop by for check ins to feed and walk your pet. I can also stay with your dog for most of the day, and even pet sit overnight! While you’re away, I’d love to send photo and video updates, so that you can see your baby is happy, healthy, relaxed, and thriving (despite them missing you dearly!)

“Macy was attentive and responsive! Will definitely use her again!”

“Megan was able to help us on very short notice with a drop in for our pup! She was great, made time to meet me even with only 2 days notice, and when he barked when she left she even went back in to fill his kong so he wasn’t sad🥰 thank you Megan - we will definitely book with you again!!”

“Eileen, did a wonderful job taking care of my 2 Goldens. She is very detail oriented and made sure she understood everything about my dogs. I felt very comfortable leaving them in her care. Highly recommended.”

“Matt and Cassidy were awesome both with our kitties and with the humans! Super flexible and communicative. We loved reading their daily notes and seeing the pictures and videos, too. We felt that our cats were in excellent care while we were gone. Thank you so much, Matt and Cassidy!”

“We have known Maya for 10+ years - as a neighbor, baby-sitter and dog-sitter. You are lucky to have found her! She is an incredibly smart, capable, responsible and loving pet caregiver! She has done daily pet-sitting for us, and has also stayed at our house when we have gone on vacation. We have two energetic labradors and she handles them with ease.”

“Cora did an excellent job watching my cat while I was away. She was flexible with the dates and had very prompt communication. I appreciated the daily updates as well.”
