House Sitting in Hoosick Falls

“We asked Deborah to watch our dog in a situation where communication with us was very difficult. She did very well with this challenge. Our dog did well under her care.”

“Evelyn is wonderful with our furbabies! Took very good care of them and very communicative, sharing updates and photos while we were gone. I look forward to working with Evelyn again.”

“Anna was an excellent house sitter to our nervous greyhound and cat. She sent daily updates at least and took booker for the walks he needed. She went above and beyond keeping our house in order. We spent the vacation knowing our pets were cared for and came back to clean house. Highly recommend (unless we need her ;-) )”

“I couldn’t recommend Net (Stephanie B) anymore! We went away for a few days for thanksgiving and left her with our 2 dogs, 3 cats, lizard, and chickens and she was absolutely fantastic. She followed our feeding walking directions perfectly and had excellent communication. Our house was left nicer than we left it and our pups were clearly happy and well taken care of. She even made sure to give them a walk before we got home so we could unpack and relax. Don’t hesitate, book Net!”

“Mark was absolutely wonderful! He's reliable, punctual, and so easy to communicate with. He sent thoughtful updates and photos throughout the day, which really put us at ease. Coco was genuinely happy to see him and couldn’t wait to hop in the car for a ride to a nearby dog run. It was clear she felt comfortable and cared for. Knowing Coco was in such great hands while we were skiing at Stratton made all the difference. We’re incredibly grateful and would wholeheartedly recommend Mark to anyone.”

Aura T.

“Madison was great! My dogs and cat loved her immediately when she came to get instructions and I got regular updates about my fur kids the entire time I was gone.”

Kelsey O.

“Renee did overnight stays with my baby and did a fantastic job! She sent frequent updates, including pictures, and he looked so happy. She spoiled him with lots of belly rubs, which are his favorite, so they were instant besties. We got back into town later in the day, and Renee kindly offered to swing back by and hang out with him a little longer so he wasn’t by himself so long. We will definitely use her again.”

Kimberly N.

“Gillian was great! Took great care of my dogs! I highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs both big and small and have most experience regarding senior dogs as I have my own as well, and even puppies. I also am a lover of walking/hikes and love to bring any dog along with me! I currently have a fairly open schedule with just two classes during the week for only an hour each monday-thursday but can come in the morning afternoon or evening around those classes anytime! I have experience with a leash for walking as well as crate experience as well if required. In clients homes I always make sure to keep a close eye on pets and follow any guidelines homeowners have set whether it be a leash etc. I also always make sure to clean up if need be especially with cats and food haha. At my own home there is no fence but I am always sure to keep an eye on the pets.

About: ive had a couple of dog growing up in my childhood a sweet old black lab and a super crazy dingo.. in my free time after school and during summer i used to walk them, no amount of walking could satisfy my dingo.. id have her pull my bike to get all her energy out since we didnt have any closed in areas she could run off in.. ( i dont do this anymore! i realize its not very safe! she absolutely loved it for sure though) i love pups big and small old and energetic theyre all very unique and id love some new friends to get me out of the house. id ask you beforehand of course if youd be okay with them swimming, theres a pond i can bring them to after walking to cool off at. our backyard is fenced! i have two cats, so id like to know how your dog reacts around small creatures, if they cant be in contact i can always but them into a room while the dog is over. most likely theyd be outside! lots of shade and id keep em well hydrated and happy :3 i currently have been on a job hunt since what feels like forever, my schedule is very. very open.. since i dont have a car, drop off would be ideal, if your close enough to walk to i can do that too! weekends are the only time id be able to pick up your pooch my cats get their waters filled and cleaned almost daily, lots of love of course and are very spoiled. i dont have any dogs at the moment, so of course id love to chat about what youd expect and need for your lovely pup! im good with communication and friendly, special needs id be extra attentive to. im very good at remembering small things, though id still write em down incase!

“We’re feeling blessed to have found Kate. Lots of reasons, to wit: the update emails in just the right quantity and frequency, the smiles on the canine and feline faces in every pix she sent us, the non-issue she made of the hairballs and pee, the total absence of emergency calls, and the better-than-we-left-it condition of the place when we arrived back home.”

About: I bring a unique level of structure, energy, and reliability to pet care through my experience as a college coach. My daily work revolves around building routines, paying attention to small details, and making sure individuals are supported and performing at their best — and I carry that same approach into caring for dogs. I am highly dependable and organized, so you can trust that your dog’s schedule, feeding routine, and exercise needs will be handled consistently. I also bring an active lifestyle, which is great for dogs that need engaging walks, playtime, and attention. What sets me apart is the level of care and awareness I provide. I pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, and any changes, and I prioritize clear communication so you always feel confident while you are away. My goal is to make sure your dog feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for at all times My schedule is currently wide open following the end of the swim season, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care throughout the week and weekends. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your dog. I create a safe, comfortable environment where your pet feels secure and cared for at all times. I pay close attention to their needs, keep a watchful eye during walks, and always make sure you are updated so you can relax knowing they are in good hands.

About: I’ve taken care of pets for most of my life, mostly my own. I’ve had a range of paid pet care experiences, from dogs in diapers without walking ability, to highly energetic dogs! I’m currently a full - time college student, with quite a few gaps of availability in my schedule. I’m currently available on Monday evenings, Tuesday and Thursday mornings, and the entirety of weekends. I am dedicated to providing both careful and engaging care to any pet in your home. I will use the resources provided to me, and make sure every step is safe and fun!

About: I’ve owned and taken care of dogs of all sizes since I was 7 years old. I grew up on a farm taking care of all different types of animals and am a very responsible pet owner. I have experience house and pet sitting for 3 dogs at a time. I work remotely from home with no pets currently in the house, so I am very attentive and available to a pets needs I’m currently working remotely on my own flexible schedule, so I have a flexible routine. I take pets out for a longer walk in the morning, a shorter one in the afternoon, and then a longer walk and play time in the evening in the fenced in portion of my farm. When not walking or outside, the pet would be in the home with me, so never lonely! I also like to take nature walks once or twice a week, so I also bring the pets on those as well. I have a fenced in portion of my yard for play time, as well as a large field which we regularly take walks in. I currently have no other pets so your pet will be getting all of my attention. I am very respectful of a clients space, boundaries and rules as well as a dogs’ communication and boundaries. I can crate the pet at night if requested, but also have a safe one floor home and allow pets to sleep on couches, beds, etc., if that makes them more comfortable. I live alone in a very safe, nature focused area.

“Kahlan took such great care of my home and my special needs dog. She even dried some laundry I left in the wash by mistake and left the house immaculate. My pup loved her immediately. She is an excellent communicator and sent pics of my dog daily. She is very trustworthy. I will definitely be hiring her again.”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up around many different types of pets, most common were cats and dogs. I currently have two cats and one friendly dog of my own. I work 7:30-4 in Clifton Park during the week and can stop by before or after work for walks, feeding, and check-ins. I’m also available for overnight stays to keep your pets company in their own home. On weekends I’m more flexible—your pet can stay with me and join us for hikes and walks, or I can stay at your home if they prefer their own space or aren’t dog-friendly. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away! I don’t have a fenced in yard but I have 6 acres of land and walk my own dog regularl, often taking long walks down the road or around the property

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I learned how to walk! I worked as an animal caretaker at the Okefenokee Swamp Park-doing enrichment with black bears, otters, alligators, snakes and other reptiles. I raised orphaned chipmunks in my home state of New York and successfully reintroduced them back to their natural environment all while assisting reptile owners with various snakes, geckos, etc. I currently have a mini schnauzer and a visually impaired Brittany, so I understand animals with special needs. I'm also aware of the stress of trying to find a pet friendly hotel or Airbnb vs leaving your furry family member at an expensive kennel. Let our home be their home where they can sit on the couch with us and get belly scratches and walks around the neighborhood. My goal is to leave my 3rd shift job entirely to devote my time to pet sitting. Currently we have someone home 24/7. I am home all day for walks, potty breaks, throwing a ball around and my husband is home all night for the exact same thing. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday I am off and he is off Friday, Saturday and Sunday! More time to hike, play and explore! I have two friendly dogs with varying levels of energy. Prudence the Brittany is 2 and loves to chase a Giggle Ball around or play with her other sensory toys. Poobah is our mini schnauzer and at 7, he is more than happy to cuddle up on the couch to take a pack nap or go for a slow, leisurely sniff around the neighborhood. As a family we enjoy finding places around Central VT to hike, play games like fetch or find the treat. This year the pups went swimming for the first time! (Poobah was not a fan)

“Leona was great with our boxer, Brussel Sprout. She was very responsive and let us know of any issues so we could help her out while we were away!”

About: I have had dogs all my life and have taken care of my own since I am old enough now. I watch dogs and cats for my neighbors and grandparents. I like spending time outdoors with my dogs and walking them and throwing the ball. I have cat sit before and was really easy and fun to me! My schedule is kind of wonky right now as I am in college, but I am free on weekends and some weekdays whenever you might need me! My dog takes meds right now for seizures so I am experienced at giving dogs medicine. Very responsible animal lover I have always had animals in my life. I am good about having the house clean when there’s a fluffy shedding dog in it.
