“Hunter was prompt and attentive to my needs for my cats! One day a bear got into my trash and she even offered to clean it up! I have one cat that is very difficult to find and she went out of her way to find him and take a picture! I am used to detailed updates about how the check in went, but she did take pictures and text me throughout the visit so that was great! Definitely recommend!”
“Julia was absolutely fantastic! Communicative, frequently updated us, and was thorough in asking questions to tailor the care for our kitties as best possible. She was extremely respectful of our home, and met our kitties' needs perfectly. She even checked in on our fish and hermit crab, so she went above and beyond. 100/10 recommend her, she's a joy to talk to and has a wonderful personality. Thanks Julia!”
“Jade is fantastic and we highly recommend. She came to our house daily to care for our cat. She would send a report of everything she did, how the cat was doing and lots of pictures. We felt at ease knowing our cat was receiving such good care. We will definitely be using Jade again!”

She shows up on time, has a calm demeanor with the pups, communicates constantly, and is very responsive. I’m grateful I found her to watch my babies. Will be booking regularly.”
“Katie was amazing & very easy to get in touch with, and my kitties enjoyed their time with her as well. Made a trip out of the country less stressful for sure knowing they were in good hands! Highly recommended to book with her!”

About: I love all dogs but seniors and special needs are my specialty! I am a credentialed Emergency and Speciality Veterinary Technician with 20 years in the field and am CPR certified. I can give medications or provide post surgical care or provide hospice care for older pets. I work in Veterinary Neurology and can care for less mobile or paralyzed dogs. I am also happy to do things like dog walking, feeding, or just giving a potty break during the day. Greyhounds and all Sighthounds are my specialty! I work full time during the week but am available on weekends (Fri-Sun). And depending on needs, am available for weeknight/ evening visits. Providing outstanding pet care is very important to me because, being a pet owner, I understand how challenging it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your pets. I have a good attention to detail, especially in regards to pet care and needs. I provide the same communication that I would expect from someone taking care of my dogs. I have a fenced in yard (5 foot fence) and 2 well behaved dogs. One is a male neutered Greyhound named Ramen Noodle and the other is a mixed breed male neutered dog named Gravy.
“Krista was very pleasant to work with! She was super responsive and very caring to our senior cat. I felt very comfortable in knowing that our cat was well cared for while we were away. We would book with her again!”
“Maggie did an incredible job with our kitties! It's very clear she loves animals, and she went above and beyond while we were away on our honeymoon, bringing in unexpected packages, dealing with our trash cans, and more. I would hire Maggie for pet sitting again in a heartbeat! She was so communicative and sent lovely photos and videos of our cats (or at least the non skittish one!). Thanks Maggie!”
“Veronica was so communicative and thorough in answering my questions as well as providing me updates! She also has experience giving inhalers for asthmatic cats which was a huge relief to me. Definitely recommend her!”
About: I've had a house full of pets my whole life and I loved every single one of them. I've also taken care of neighbors' and friends' pets since I was 14, always making sure they are well-fed and getting plenty of water and outside time, taking them on walks and giving them baths if they need, staying over at the house while their owners go away for a week or simply a weekend. I stay in constant touch with the owners, making sure to send any updates they need. I work M-F 7:30-4:00. My evenings and weekends are completely open and I am willing to petsit or stay overnight any day of the week. * Weeks I don't have work this year and I am fully available: ** June 23rd ** July 28th ** November 24th I will feed your pets on any schedule you offer me, let dogs out as much as they need and keep cats in the house as long as I'm watching them. I can take the dogs on walks and crate them properly if they need it, and I can spend my free time with your animals so they don't feel lonely while their families are away.
About: Your custom care is here. I’ve taken care of German Shepherds and small teacup poodles. Let me know what you need and I will do my best! I’m a full-time teacher so I get out of school at four so I can walk your dog then. I work in Hartford so I can also let your fur baby out on my break. Let me know if you need me watch or sit any of your pets over the weekend. Blessings! I live in a large condo association with lots of paved areas to walk. Some elevation and other friendly dogs around here. There’s a large vacant parking lot if they want to throw a ball or frisbee. There is a trail nearby if they want to walk in the woods or on rocks and dirt.
About: I've been dog-sitting since my teenage years but took on the role more regularly to make money in college (and bank a few extra puppy snuggles since we couldn’t have on-campus pets). After moving to Charlotte post-college I was able to establish several great relationships with cute pooches and their parents. Since relocating back to CT I'm looking to add some more furry friends for me and my dog Chester McFly. Currently, I work my full-time job at night so my days are free to care for your four-legged friends. I have plenty of experience with puppies and dogs of all ages and sitting for as many as four dogs at a time so there isn’t really a situation I can’t handle. My dog is the most important part of my life and I understand the feelings that come along with entrusting your best friend to someone else. I can promise you that I will give your dog the same type of love and attention that I give my very own!
About: I have cared for dogs, particularly medium and large dogs, since my first dog 15 years ago. I am the go to contact for friends when they go out of town. I can spend up to 60 minutes per visit if requested. I'm experienced with senior dogs who need extra care and patience to move around. I have a flexible schedule and enjoy walking outside in all types of weather, so I thought I could add more to the fun by walking the dogs that need to be relieved while their family is at work or on vacation. I have a large backyard that both cats and dogs have enjoyed roaming around in and exploring. My neighborhood is quiet, safe, and extremely pet friendly.
About: I’ve had animals since I can remember. I currently has 3 golden doodles and a Great Dane so my experience covers all sizes! I love to take my dogs out hiking and get their noses working and their legs tired out so they can curl up by the fire when we get home. I’m focused on calm assertive energy and like to figure out how the dog is feeling - it’s so much more than just walking with a leash. I have a flex schedule and enjoy getting my walks in throughout the day and early evening. This is great to establish a routine for your dog My pets are with me throughout the day and crate trained when unsupervised. We love to play ball in the yard when not out walking.
“Ricky was incredibly conscientious and good with our kitty and bunny. Our kitty had some medical issues come up the week prior to my departure, and Ricky stepped right up to the task. Gave our boy his meds, and was able to put a cone on him to put steroid crem on his tail. He befriended our boys quickly and seemed to enjoy their company as much as they enjoyed his. Ricky sent me updates and pics throughout his stay, and was quick to respond when I checked in. Our home was in order when we arrived home. I highly recommend Ricky. I am a bit bummed that he's leaving VT after college graduation next month, as we are in transition with pet sitters, as our one the past five years is heading to med school. Don't hesitate to book with Ricky!”

17. Kelly M.
“Kelly is an excellent sitter and friend to my little Cody. She watches Cody almost every time I go out of town for business (roughly 2 or 3 times a week). I love when Kelly stays at my house because I never have to worry about how my little guy is doing. I'm a bit of a helicopter parent but Kelly is always sending my pictures of my pup, even in the 1st person like he's talking! She's very flexible with her schedule and is really there whenever I need her! I cannot recommend anyone more highly, I can only hope that Kelly's new business doesn't take her away from Cody!”
