House Sitting in Hubbardton

“Jillian stayed the weekend with my dog and cat while I was away for the weekend. It’s hard to leave my animals behind, but I was very comfortable with Jillian taking care of them. She even took my dog on a walk while she was here which was very nice of her. I came home to my house just the way I found it, she was very neat. I would definitely hire again if I needed someone. Thank you Jillian!”

About: I have always had dogs growing up as a kid. Then I started dog sitting for my neighbors and realized what I wanted to do in life was take care of animals for the rest of my life. Went to college to become and vet tech and currently help out with locals rabies clinics every spring. I am currently working full time in Rutland city. And I work every third Saturday only until 2pm. I am available to run out at lunchtime. I currently live on a farm,and my boyfriend's dog is a super friendly lab who loves to play ball. I do have a crate available if need be.

“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.”

“Jade was a woman of her word! Arrival was prompt. Times she stated were prompt and she did walks and sent photos. Super happy with her as a sitter and will be using her again!! Thanks Jade for taking care of my furbabies!!”

“Colleen was great! Very communicative, took excellent care of our old doggo, and was neat as a pin. No hesitation about asking her to come back.”

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.

“Kendra was awesome! She watched our dogs overnight. Kendra kept us up to date with what our dogs were up to by sending us pictures through out her time her. We will definitely use Kendra again.”

“Trustworthy and meticulous, Karen spent five days with my two big labs and gave them endless love and attention. Since we have no fence, she had to leash and walk the dogs a lot, and modify for the old limpy dog versus the young bouncy one. She left my house looking beautiful and even did the laundry! I want her back next time I'm going out of town.”

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.

“Meghan was amazing with our dog Bailey. She's very high energy and VERY smart. It takes attention and experience to really run a tight ship with her and Meghan was on top of it from the second she met her. She honestly taught us a thing or two. I would not hesitate to use her again any time that we're away!”

“Angelina was an amazing pet sitter to our two dogs and cat. She kept us very updated with pictures and kept them on their normal schedule. She took them for long walks everyday and kept our cat entertained as well. They are always so excited when she comes over! She is always our number one choice for pet sitting and dog walking when we go out of town!”

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 have taken care of pets since I was a little kid! I have experience with pets of all types, ages & personalities. Friends & family have relied on me to walk, feed & housesit for their animals. I work full time time job but I have most mornings free. My schedule rotates so I would not be able to have the same availability every week, but please reach out with dates & times! I would love to make something work. I can come to your house and walk your dog. If you are interested in an overnight board at my house the dog would have to be good with my 15lb poodle mix & two cats. It would be ideal that the dog comes with a crate to stay in, as my dog is crated as well when we are out of the house. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I live near a dog park, and in a nice spot to walk dogs.

“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.”

About: From raising/training puppies to saying goodbye to our senior dogs, I cannot imagine a life without them! Friends who know me have called me dog magnet. :) I may not love your dogs as much as you but I'll probably be a very close second! I will respect whatever your training and dog guidance needs are, minus the use of shock collars or other harsh means of discipline. I am knowledgeable of puppy/dog training measures to help your dog be successful! I am retired so can now do what I love! My schedule is very flexible. Let me know what you need and we can see if it can work out! I live on a dead end road and have a partially fenced yard that includes 2- 50' runs if your pup needs to be leashed. There is a park down the road and I am an avid walker and a believer that most all dogs benefit from walks and from being outdoors.

“Cristina is everything you would ever want in a caregiver for your pet. Not only is she kind and loving but she has a tremendous amount of knowledge of dogs' behaviors and needs gleaned from her own study, from participation in classes taught by renowned trainers and from years of hands on experience with her own dogs. You can be 100% confident that she will be reliable and will go to great lengths to provide exceptional service.”

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.

“Janna is definitely an animal lover. She has cared for both my dogs. Never had to worry, I knew they were in great loving hands with her. They would get so excited whenever she walked into the house.”
