“Bria was fantastic. This was our first time booking with her and the meet and greet went smoothly. She took excellent care of both Hampton and Neko and kept our home clean and tidy. We felt completely at ease while we were away. We are already looking forward to having her sit for us again soon. Highly recommend.”


“Christine is the best! She takes such wonder care of my two dogs and I couldn’t feel more comfortable leaving them with her. I highly recommend her services. We already have our next stay with Christine booked!”


“Kathleen took great care of our senior cat and our home. She navigated some technical challenges with our alarm system with professionalism and good humor. Highly recommend. Will definitely re-book.”


“Kathleen helped out last minute with a dog sitting for our girls and we couldn't be happier to have had her watch them. She was really sweet to them and sent updates while we were out of the house so we felt very at ease.”



“Lyndsay spent a week staying at our house taking care of our dog and 2 cats. Great level of contact and photos. Our pets were super well taken care of. Will absolutely use her service before anyone else the next time.”


“Shania did a wonderful job caring for Hampton and Neko on her first stay with us. She was very communicative and kept me updated with great pictures throughout her overnight stay. I also really appreciated how she left the house in excellent condition. Highly recommended, and I’ll definitely book with her again!”


“Allison was amazing with our pittie mix rescue who was a stray for 2 years and can be anxious and skittish. She immediately loved Allison (more so than she even loves us, I was joking with my husband) and even went to sleep while Allison was watching her which is unheard of for our dog. Highly recommend, Allison is truly a dog whisperer!”


“Just wow. Emily stayed at our home for a little over a week and cared for dog like he was her own. Our dog is anxious and has leash reactivity as well as some long term health issues. She was knowledgeable in handling him and managed his daily med administrations. Emily also went above and beyond by doing two in-person meet ups to get acquainted with Bouldin, snuggled with him, and bathed him prior to our return. We will be a customer of Emily's for as long as she will have us. Light years better than any dog resort/boarding facility.”


“Victoria is absolutely amazing! I’ve hired her multiple times and she takes incredible care of my pets. My cat who is usually very shy warmed up to her and even sat on her lap! He doesn’t do that with anyone but me which speaks volumes of how caring Victoria is and how safe he feels around her. She is the best sitter and I highly recommend her!”


“Emily is great! She sent continual updates and pictures throughout her time house sitting. It was clear that besides regular walks she also spent lots of time hanging out and cuddling with my dog, who is very affectionate and needs the attention. Would definitely book again!”


“Evelyn was the best!! She was so amazing with our dog, Bailey and sent lots of messages/photos/videos to keep us updated. She left our house extremely clean as well. We feel like we found the BEST dog sitter around!!”


About: NOTE: BASED OUT OF BURLINGTON, VT FOR THE COLLEGE SEASON I’ve owned and cared for dogs, cats, and everything in-between for as long as I can remember. From pit-bulls to terriers, handicapped chickens to one eyed kittens and animals with at least 8 legs, i’ve seen it all. Apart from caring for my own dogs, cats, and other pets over the years, I did freelance petsitting and dog walking in and around my neighborhood for around seven years, ranging from dog walks while the owner was at work, to late night cat feedings and prescription medication administration, to trying to give a rabbit a bath. I have a high level of experience caring for both puppies/kittens and elderly dogs and cats, having worked to foster puppies and kittens with my local ASPCA for nearly a decade as well as helped raise and train one of my family dogs, and care for my elderly, disabled dog in her later years. I also have background training with the ASPCA regarding animal safety (specifically reactive or defensive dogs) and basic dog and cat body language, crucial aspects of keeping everyone involved healthy and happy! I’m currently a college student home for the summer- my schedule is very open and very flexible, depending on the individual needs of the animal. I can match whatever level of energy your pet needs within the home- whether it be constant cuddles and attention, hours of playtime, or just an omniscient hand filling the food bowl and grabbing the leash! I’m comfortable administering oral or topical medications, able to control and crate dogs if the need arises, and (i’d like to think) i’ve learned some pretty good strategies to stop unwanted barking late at night over the years. I value the mental and physical comfort of the animal i’m caring for first and foremost, whether that means hands on attention or a more quiet, calm approach to time spent with your pet. I’m willing to care for and spend time with shy or reactive dogs as long as they’re within my size range. Having owned both a very senile, timid dog and a very reactive, defensive dog, it’s important to me that they receive the amount of care and attention in the home they deserve :)

“Madison took great care of my antisocial furbabies. She assisted me when I forgot to do a few things I mentioned when we met. To have the memory of a young person! I highly recommend her!”


“Gavin is the absolute best! He cares so much and gives thorough updates on our pups, which allows for such peace of mind while we are away from them. Our girls would welcome him back anytime!”



“Elizabeth was very patient with one of my dogs who is a little shy at first. She is trustworthy and reliable. She is also responsive to communication which I greatly appreciated!”


“Leaf took excellent care of Ernie, and we cannot thank her enough. She provided great updates, and we were left reassured that he was in good hands. He was even so excited to see her when she came back another time to care for him.”


“Elizabeth was amazing! She was so good with our three dogs and cat. They are a handful and we worry leaving them with new people but Elizabeth put our minds at ease with frequent updates and photos. She stayed at our house and left it cleaner than she found it! She really thought of everything to make sure our late arrival home was as smooth as possible. Would 100% recommend Elizabeth!”


“This was the second time we had Emily watch our pup. Communication was great, just like last time, and she took really good care of our pup and house for all four days that we were gone. Thank you!!”

Thank you for everything Robyn!! We got home and Pepper was happy to see us and the house was as we left it. We really appreciated al Robyn did all week with Pepper!!! Really made our trip that much more enjoyable knowing Robyn was here watching him. We also really appreciated all the updates and pictures! Robyn was TERRIFIC!!!”

Carrie C.
“Carrie regularly watched our two large rescue dogs when we went out of town and we (us and our pups!) were so sad when she moved away. She was careful to take detailed instructions about their habits and needs and asked about things that we had forgotten to mention. She communicated with us well when we were away to share how our dogs were doing. Carrie is a loving and thoughtful pet caregiver and a natural at handling dogs. I would trust her with any pet. We love Carrie and miss her so much!”
