“Sarah has been great with our rescue kitty Chloe! We have only had our kitty for 4 months and she is very shy. It was a wonderful surprise that Chloe let Sarah pet her. No other visitors have been able to touch her. Sarah was prompt, considerate and thorough. We are very happy with her service!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was little, all of whom ranged from Great Danes to dachshunds. I’ve worked with older dogs all the way to puppies and have had my fair share of messes to clean up afterwards. No matter their age they are all puppies in my eyes. I work full-time as a Behavioral Interventionist in Chittenden County and my hours on the Job are: Monday-Wednesday 7:50-3:00, Thursday-Friday 7:50-4:20. Weekends are very flexible. I follow the care instructions given by the owners to the letter. If there are certain rules in place, I will ask the owner about what to expect from those rules. When there is a walkthrough before owner leaves, I like to make sure if there is any medication that the pups may need to take. I make sure to clean their water bowls out daily, and feed them the amount of food that the owner permits me to feed them. If the pups are allowed treats I will undoubtedly spoil them. If there is an emergency I ask for their vet’s phone number in case the pup needs to be taken. This is not my home and these are not my pups, therefore I will follow what the owner wants for their animals.

9. Benny B.
About: I’ve always had pets growing up. I’ve learned to care for pets responsibly and give them the love and attention they need everyday. I make sure I’m attentive and fun for all the pets I take care of. I’m in college and can do any job during my breaks and weekends work the best most of the time. Also the summer I am mostly free. I’ll always make sure that your pets are leashed while outside and will make sure your doors are locked in case of possible intruders. I will always keep an eye on your pet so they don’t get up to mischief.
10. Hayley M.
“Hayley was awesome and took wonderful care of our 2 senior cats who are both on meds including insulin. She was really nice and easy to work with!”
11. Kendra W.
About: I have the patience for dogs that are shy and the energy to tire out the active ones. Knowing what they need is so important. I'm currently working part time so I have plenty of time to give your furry family members the attention they need while you are away. I treat your pets and property as if they were my own. Neither will pets or home be abused or neglected. while under my care.

13. Jaime F.
“We were very happy to have Jaime take care of our cat while we were away. Our cat is always slow to warm up to strangers and Jaime clearly went out of her way to be friend. We really appreciated the photos and informative report.”
14. Carlos M.
About: I was born into a home with two dogs and always had a home full of pets growing up. Pets to me are part of the family. I am currently employed full time. I am available on most days of the week from 5pm to 9pm and 10am to 9pm most weekends. My dog is a member of the family so she shares all the perks. My house currently lacks a fenced in backyard for this reason I do not do boarding.
15. Mary & Noé C.
“Mary and Noe took great care of my senior feline while I was away, and I will not hesitate to book them again. They were reliable, conscientious, and very easy to work with.”
16. Andrea S.
“Andrea is amazing! She was excellent with my 9-week-old puppy and 14.5-year-old lab. Highly recommend.”
17. Chelsea B.
“Chelsea is amazing! I hired her to come and let my dog out and play with her twice a day, 5 days a week, for a little over a month while I was unable to. I am so glad I did; she did such a great job. She is a very caring and kind person. She was so sweet to my dog, always treating her so well. She is very responsible, reliable, and my dog loved her. Daisy would get so excited when she would see Chelsea pull in the driveway. I would highly recommend Chelsea for all of your pet needs!”
18. Nick A.
“Nick is a very reliable dog walker and sitter . He loves pets and is extremely friendly with our dog . Our dog love walking with him.”
19. Kelly M.
About: My parents bred our labs a couple of times when I was a kid, so puppies and dogs have always been in my life. In college I bought my own puppy and had her for a wonderful almost 10 years. She was my best friend and I talked to her and kissed her all of the time. She made me feel happy when my days were gray. Since then I’ve dog sat for multiple families and borrow my friends’ dogs to go for walks and adventures since I no longer have a pup of my own. I work three 12 hour shifts a week so I would love to spend my free days with dogs. I’ve watched my friends dogs even on work days because I work 7a-7 p so I can be there for breakfast and dinner. Most of the time I’ve stayed in their homes so that the dog feels most comfortable. I have no other pets in my home and your pup will get all the belly rubs and scratching they need. I love to go for walks and be active with the dogs (of course only if they’re capable)
20. Rachel B.
“Rachel was great with our dogs, one being a bit afraid of humans came along very quickly. It looked like they were well fed and loved. She also kept me posted with their outings they looked like they were having fun. The house was kept very tidy, we’d use her again.”
