House Sitting in Goshen

“Jillian took great care of our two dogs, and treated our home with respect as well, while staying over. Jillian is super kind, responsive, and great with dogs. We definitely will be hiring her again. Thanks, Jillian!”

“Amazing! I am recommending to people who want their dogs well taken care of. Photos are wonderful when away from your pet and Kasey ensures you get regular updates if you like. I came home to them not realizing I was away.”

“Zach was such an excellent sitter. He was responsive and sent us many updates/photos while I was out of town. He cared for my pup as if it were his own. I would highly recommend Zach for any of your doggy care needs.”

“April is a responsible, thoughtful, and caring human being. I have a 140lb German Shepherd who absolutely loves her and she is great with him. He is always so excited to see her! I highly recommend April for her trustworthiness, reliability, and sweet energy.”

About: My family grew up with dogs and cats; the animals are treated as family. Pet sitting (and baby sitting) were part of the routine from early on. My Consulting work is done remotely, which makes my schedule flexible for Rover assignments, and, additionally leaves ample Time for getting out on the trails with tails. I enjoy being out-of-doors, and hope that some time outside is part of your furriends’ daily care plan. I believe in sticking to the schedule that clients have established with their animals for meals, toileting, play time and quiet rest.

“I really appreciated that Allie sent me daily photos of my cat and kept me updated on his activities! He was very happy and she was very responsive and respectful. Great pet sitter!”

“Dominique is by far the best choice in my book for a dog sitter. She’s helped us on several occasions, the last one for a period of 4 weeks while we traveled over seas. I recommend her services without reservations.”

“Anna is a wonderful caregiver for pets! She treated my cat with so much love, going out of her way to spend as much time with her and recognize her needs. She also walked my friend’s dog for several weeks. During each walk she would spend extra time with their dog playing and bringing him to all of his favorite spots. She is super communicative and sent lots of photos. I would highly recommend Anna!”

“Ariel was a great dog/house sitter while we were away for a weekend. She made sure all the dogs needs were met and then some, I would recommend her to anyone!”

“Karen is extremely kind and pleasant. It was hard to tell she was even here! She took great care of our dog, even giving him a bath! He was very happy with her. We would use Karen again!”

About: 1.Introduction 2.Description of home 3. Brief overview of experience 4. Policies Hi, I'm Mary! 14 years ago, My pup Lee and I started the business of walking city streets, running, swimming, hiking, boarding friends, and house sitting; all in the name of dog! Since his passing, my twin four year olds and I are looking forward to making new pupper friends. We live in a beautiful home on an organic farm. This year marks the 14th year and third state in which I've tended to puppies, dogs and senior puppers. Since moving to Vermont 8 years ago, my home has been referred to as "farm camp." This is because: pups who are able to enjoy the farm experience off leash! While I enjoy tending to the greater dog population in its entirety, senior dogs, ones who take medications, those living with physical and developmental ailments and pups nearing end of life are my specialty. While the latest DSM may not have nature deficit disorder printed on its pages, I know it effects not only people but more importantly, dogs! I value and understand that exercise specifically in the wilderness provides a focused energy released followed by contentment. Starting in Providence, R.I., Lee and I took off walking city dogs. Over time, I curated two hiking packs of dogs. All off leash, good recall and, worked together navigating trails with minimal tiffs. Between my city walkers and packs, I began boarding. While I had my regulars, I wanted to offer support in other ways. Middle of the night emergency visits, families dealing with unforeseen events and parents who needed a break even though, their pup was nearing end of life. I've waited with dogs to board planes and have been at the airport to pick them up. Arranging wedding arrivals/departures and transport to/from vets. On several occasions, I've had the honor of being there for a pup's end of life. Since this is a new space for your pup, it's important that we stick to your in home structure as much as possible. This allows them to feel more comfortable and stress free. This means I will ask for a list of usual commands, eating times, toys, blankets and beds. If your pup has any quirks, I like to know! The more information, the better! When scheduling pick up and drop off times: if you're going to be late please kindly send a text update. I am extremely flexible with times! Not communicating information is a big issue and can lead to scheduling conflicts. For every 45 minutes that you're late and lack communication you will be charged an additional $10. My rate for overnight stays are based on a 24 hour period. If your drop off to pick up time goes over the 24 hour period, I charge a prorated amount to match the time difference. If your drop off to pick up time is less then 24 hours, it is a flat rate of $40. Thanks for reading and I look forward to speaking with you. I recently sold one of my businesses to focus on an endeavor I'm more passionate about, free Lance writing. I'm also enrolled in school first time. I only take senior, free range puppers. While your dog will NEVER be out of my sight, I only allow free rangers. If you have any concerns about your dogs recall, we are not the right family for you.

“Kelly is who you want to sit your pets and your house. She's so nice, so patient with all my communication, so responsive and responsible... It's obvious she loves animals, she immediately connected with my cat and my puppy, and they with her. And let me tell you, my puppy is not an easy dog to take care of right now. She's 16 weeks old and in full crazy teething, biting, nipping mode. It's definitely a challenge to be with this land shark. But Kelly handled her with grace. She also left our house spotless. I will definitely ask her to watch my babies again!”

“Meghan is wonderful! She did a great job and our dogs love her. She kept us updated on the pups and the communication with her was easy and steady. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who wants to feel comfortable with leaving their dogs at home.”

“Melissa is one of the best! This was the first time that I left my 3 pups, and Melissa was so comforting to them while I was away. I have a pup that is very anxious and she warmed right up to Melissa. This was house sitting and the house was immaculate when I arrived home. Honestly, there arent enough words to express my appreciation. Thank youso much, Melissa! I will, without a doubt, have you sit for my pups again and again.”

“Morgan was everything we were looking and more! Kind, courteous, and clearly an animal lover at heart! We have two large, crazy dogs and she was confident yet gentle with them from the moment they greeted her at the door. Our 16 year old cat who doesn’t come out for many people warmed up to her quickly too. We wouldn't hesitate to have her come stay with our animals again!!”

“Cristina at Bow Wow Babysitters is the hardest working and most caring pet sitter provider in the business. She has cared for my dogs (and even our horses) many times in my home and I leave knowing my little girl Stella will be so happy with Cristina to take her for walks, give her lots of loving and well cared for. I'm very thankful that there are people like Cristina out there to help keep our pets safe and happy when I travel.”

About: I've taken care of many different types of animals including dogs, cats, birds, pigs, guinea pigs, and rabbits. They've been all different breeds and sizes. I am willing to travel to your home so that your pet can stay in a familiar and safe environment for them. I work full time during the summer but am available throughout the day to stop at the house when needed and am available for overnights. I like to meet with potential clients beforehand so that they can get to know me and that I can also learn more about their pets, house, and typical schedules. This creates a foundation of trust that is important to my business.

About: I grew up with dogs and have dog sat since I was 16. I’ve worked lots with chickens, goats, cats, and rodents too. Animals melt my heart and I would love to spend more time with them! I have a dog of my own. Her name is Yeti and she gets along with other dogs, cats, chickens, all animals :) She would join me in sitting or walking. If you have a high energy doggo and want them to get some exercise, I'm the perfect pick! I will bring your dog hiking, walking, or running. I can walk dogs on weekdays. Friday night, Saturday, and Sunday I am available for dog sitting and/or dog walking. :) I have recently updated my availability so it is accurate. I have a dog of my own, she is taken very well care of. We do a big exercise once a day (hike, run, walk) which your dog can join! We also do lots of stimulating activities (kong, food puzzles, bones). I cannot offer my home for dog sitting, it is too small. But my dog and I would be more than happy to dog/ cat sit in your pets home.

Your pets will be safe, comfortable, and well-cared for at all times.
