“Rihana is literally the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. Our dog Indy clearly loved her and was spoiled while we were gone. She took her on multiple walks and played with her outside and sent tons of pictures. She also left our house cleaner than when we left. Would 100% recommend to anyone. Thank you Rihana! 😊”

“Caitlin did a wonderful job with Kobe and Xena. She kept me well informed on their status, and shockingly Xena, my cat, actually slept with her one night. Xena is picky! All went well and we definitely will use Caitlin if we leave town again this summer. Thank you Caitlin.”
“We could not have asked for a better house and dog sitter. From the moment she stepped in, it was clear how thoughtful and proactive she is — she even offered to water our plants and help with any cleaning while we were away, which was completely above and beyond. Knowing our home was in such capable, caring hands gave us total peace of mind. Most importantly, our dog Gerty absolutely adored her. Every photo update had Gerty smiling from ear to ear, and that alone told us everything we needed to know. It’s clear she truly cares about the animals she looks after, not just their routines but their happiness too. We are beyond grateful and will 100% be asking for her help again in the future. If you’re lucky enough to book her, do it — your home and pets will be better for it.”

“Rainie was FANTASTIC! She took great care of my dog, cat, house and garden when I had some recent long distance travel. She provided my husky with off-site adventure walks. Her regular updates included great photos and daily recaps. Coming home to a super tidy house was the cherry on top! I highly recommend Rainie!!”

“Armani is an amazing dog sitter! She went above and beyond ensuring our dog, Edna, was well taken care of - even putting food in Edna’s snuffle mat, playing with her, and taking her on regular walks. Armani stayed in great communication with us, letting us know that all of Edna’s needs were met and that she was calm, relaxed, and happy. We couldn’t be more thrilled to trust Armani in taking care of Edna when we travel. I highly recommend Armani as a thoughtful, caring, and high-quality dog sitter and a very considerate house quest!”

About: Hi my name is Sean. I recently graduated from RIT with a BFA in illustration. I love all animals and currently have a lot of flexibility to care for your pets while I am working from home. I grew up with two labradoodles and I have also cared for friends' animals while they have been away. One of my dogs has Addison's disease, so I am familiar with giving medication to pets. Spending time with animals brings me joy and does not seem like work - I enjoy playing with your animals, going on walks and I give a great belly rub! I am extremely responsible and will love your animals like my own...you might also find some sketches of your pet when you return home. I am an artist that is currently working from home in Quechee. I am extremely flexible and am available during the week and on weekends. I make my own hours so can work around your schedule. I live with my parents and two friendly labradoodles ages 8 and 12. I could board a dog in my home if he/she gets along well with other dogs and is house-trained. I prefer to care for your animals in your own home: I can do drop-in visits, walks and daytime or overnight house-sitting.
“Reilley was great! She listened to our needs (we had a puppy), gave him a lot of exercise, and stayed in our home for the week. Our little Bentley loved her...he is still looking around the house for her! She was neat and we came home to a clean house and happy puppy!”


“We highly recommend Nicole. We had the absolute best experience with her and would 100% book her again. She has SO much dog knowledge and experience, and she knew just what to do to care for our 17.5 year-old geriatric Miniature Dachshund. Our dog was completely comfortable and happy with her, and she brought out the absolute best in our dog with both a stroller and regular walk. I can't rave enough about how happy we were with Nicole.”

About: My mother is a veterinarian with her own practice, so I grew up around an abundance of animals and know plenty about caring for them. My career allows me to choose my own schedule, I don't usually have shifts longer than 5/6 hours long. This allows me to take dogs out for walks or to a dog park, or I can just go home and hang out with my cat. I have a large fenced in yard with access to woods, plenty of local trails for dog walks, local lake if your dog likes to swim. Dogs and cats in my home, but there's a good sized guest bedroom that is kept closed off from the rest of my home if you have a pet that is less friendly with others.
“Ronan was an excellent communicator. From start to finish this was a smooth & pleasant experience. Odin (our dog) was in good spirits when we picked him up. He played well with Ronan's family dog, and must have had a calm and enjoyable overnight in their home, because he was calm and happy upon returning home. Thank you, Ronan!”


“Cyan is an incredible dog sitter. She immediately won the heart of our little pup, and was so loving with him. Cyan is a great communicator and is amazingly intuitive about the needs of pets and humans alike!”

“Julia is the BEST. Our dog has pretty bad anxiety from when he was abused as a puppy and Julia worked with him so he could be comfortable. She also sent us daily pictures of our sweet boy. Thank you so much Julia.”

Nora was OUTSTANDING! From before our scheduled pet sitting even happened, Nora was willing to video chat and meet Luna and I, as well as visit in person and chat back and forth multiple times to make us feel comfortable and in good hands. Communication was great (many updates and cute pictures every day), our dog Luna was most certainly very happy and loved all week, and our house was clean (just as we left it) which made us feel like Nora respected our space and took care of it while keeping Luna company all week long. Happily recommend Nora with all of our hearts. We knew Luna was in great hands and couldn’t have felt better about leaving her for the holidays. If you are lucky enough to book Nora, please do!

Emma spent three days with my 11yo dog Ginger at my house and Ginger was very well taken care of. She seemed very happy and content when I got home. Emma has a very friendly loving personality I would highly recommend her to anyone. I will definitely use her services again!

Armani was a delight from our first conversation. She asked pertinent questions to ensure she understood their preferences and routines. Armani was very focused on the comfort and care of our pets while we were gone. She frequently sent photos (which we loved) so we could enjoy our time away knowing they were happy and healthy. Would highly recommend her.
