“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.”


“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.”


“I highly recommend Christine. She communicates regularly and shows genuine love for my dogs. I will continue to use Christine over and over again. My dogs are so happy with her and I am so happy knowing they are well taken care of. Thanks, Christine!”


“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.”


“Preaundrea has watched Sammy a couple of times now and has done a great job. She is very attentive, making sure she checks with me if she notices something out of the ordinary like his allergies. She is a good communicator and makes sure to send updates and photos. I am happy to know Sammy is well taken care of when I am away.”


“Ashton did an amazing job caring for my cat, Truffles. Truffles received a lot of love and companionship while I was away, and plenty of play time! I recommend Ashton to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”



“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 watched Gizmo for a few days and made sure all of his needs were met and sent me pics of a healthy, happy pup!! She also left my home immaculate. Would absolutely book in the future!”


“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!”


“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!”


“Evelyn was so wonderful with Sophie! She played with her and sent pictures. We could see that Sophie feels comfortable with Evelyn. We feel very fortunate to have found Evelyn for Sophie!”


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 :)

About: Lover of all animals - cat owner + dog lover. Not shy to snakes, lizards, etc. The cuddlier the better. Trusted by human and animal parents for years. I work from home and can take breaks during the day as needed. Happy to work from your home as well. Evenings and weekends are generally available. I know it’s hard to trust someone in your home, and taking care of your family. I am respectful, communicative, and timely to a fault.


“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!”


“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!”


“Emily took great care of our dogs (and house) for a few days on short notice before Christmas. She sent pictures everyday and kept us up to date. We’d be glad to to book her again!”



“I had the pleasure of working with Robyn as my dog walker/dog sitter. From day one, it was clear that Robyn had a genuine love and passion for dogs. Her professionalism and reliability were outstanding. I always knew I could count on her to be on time and take great care of my furry friend. Not only did she ensure my dog got plenty of exercise and fresh air, but she also provided the companionship and attention that my babies need. She made sure to always send daily updates and pictures! What sets Robyn apart is her deep understanding of canine behavior. She knew just how to handle my dog’s personality and needs, making every walk a positive experience. She made sure to ask me about training and what she can do to follow our usual routine as closely as possible. My dogs absolutely adored Robyn and were always excited to see her. Safety was a top priority for Robyn as well. I appreciated the thoroughness in making sure my dog was secure during walks, especially when crossing streets or encountering other dogs. Her attention to detail gave me peace of mind. I can’t recommend Robyn highly enough. She provided exceptional care, trustworthiness, and genuine affection for my pet. If you want a dog walker who goes above and beyond, Robyn is the one to choose. My pups and I are truly grateful for her wonderful service and will be recommending her to family and friends.”


“Alyson took care of our 2.5 year old dog, Cupcake, for a week while we were on vacation during holidays. She was great with Cupcake and great at keeping us informed. We received on-going messages and updates throughout the week. We will certainly ask her to take care of Cupcake again next time.”

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!”
