“Rosan did a wonderful job watching Kennedy. She is nervous in new places and it seems like she was calm as could be in their home. She had a great time playing with their dog Auggie and came back home tired and happy. Would definitely recommend!”
About: Currently a golden retriever and cat mom, my love for animals began when I was a child. In my adult life, I have owned a Corgi, St. Bernard, and cats that I have cared for their entire lives. I am looking to help others in need of pet care, whether it is a daily walk or visit, or overnight boarding. I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule to help with pet care. I can provide daily walks or outside time as needed. Dogs and cats are like family to me. Your pet will be treated as one of my own - with lots of love and attention!
“Nicole was awesome with my dog lucky. I love the video she sent throughout the day. This made me feel comfortable knowing lucky was being taken care of. I love the small tie she gave him when I picked him up. Thanks Nicole.”
“Couldn’t imagine better care! I boarded my pup with Michele for a few days, and she was super communicative, flexible and kind. I could tell my pup felt comfortable with her right away. Would recommend her in a heartbeat!”
“Kayla was great with our eight month old puppy, Edna! Edna is super high energy and can be a lot with new people, but Kayla quickly made her comfortable. We came home to a happy sleeping puppy and plan to have Kayla take care of her in the future.”
“Cia took great care of our dog while we went away for a weekend. To us, the most important things we look for in a sitter are responsibility, sensitivity, and good communication. Cia has all three of these. After this experience, we definitely recommend her services and we will surely use her again. Thanks, Cia!”
“Christina took great care of my 8mo old puppy overnight! She was super nice, sent me a number of photos showing how pup was settling in, and overall put my mind at ease that Olive was in good hands. Would definitely book with her again!”
“Ruchi was a wonderful care provider for our 11 year old Yorkie. He had 5 fabulous days being spoiled and pampered. Ruchi was great at sending me pictures and updating me throughout his stay .”
“Mikayla and James watched my two cats for a week and were great! I was a little concerned at first since they have multiple pets of their own, and my cats can be shy, but they did an amazing job both giving them space and socializing with them! I got some great pictures and videos and was never worried about them during the week. I would 100% recommend and may in the future myself!”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was really young and have always had a love for animals; especially dogs. My neighbors and friends always had me house/dog sit when they went on vacation. My favorite thing to do is take the dogs to trails to run or walk with them. I'm currently a SAHM to my 5 month old son and three dogs looking for some extra money. I am available all week to walk dogs, check-in on them, board them, or stay at your house to care for them. I have three dogs that love to play with other dogs and exploring that many different mountains here in Vermont. I grew up always having at least six dogs among many other animals so adding an another dog or two to the pack for the day or weekend isn’t that big a deal. I just want to be able to give someone else’s dog a fun time because all dogs deserve to run around sniffling whatever their hearts desire. While I don't have a fenced yard your pets will be safe. I make sure to leash any dog before opening the door. I also make sure to take any dog in my care to a safe place where they are able to get the exercise they need.
“Eric was flexible when we needed to make a scheduling change and very accommodating overall. We have one big young dog and one little old dog. Their energy and personality needs are very different, and Eric did a great job helping them both feel safe and comfortable - not easy! Communicative and kind, we are very grateful to Eric. Highly recommend”
“Julia and Peter do such a great job with Ace, our springy and excitable dog...and their dogs take him in as part of the pack. In fact, Ace wanted to go back in their house and I had to coax him into the car with treats! We know he will always be safe and well cared for and loved when we have t be out of town. Highest recommendations!”
“Victoria is a wonderful petsitter. Nala is happy every time she sees her. They went hiking, great pictures and also they celebrated Nala's birthday. I am very pleased with her services. Thank you so much for everything.”
About: I have been working in the animal care industry for 17 years starting when i was in high school. In that time I have been a vet assistant for most of my jobs. I have worked for companies like Best Friends, ASPCA, Banfield Pet Hospital, and currently work at Burlington Emergency and Veterinary Specialists. I also have experience working with larger animals other than dogs. I have worked at zoos and wild life rehabilitation centers, wolf refuges and even done some free lance whale research. I am willing to care for multiple pets if you have more than one but we will have to discuss this. I am also willing to take care of other types of pets such as birds, reptiles, and rodents. I look forward to meeting you and your pet(s). Currently a stay at home dad so I'm available most days depending on my son's needs. But most times scheduling won't be affected as he is now in daycare. I have lots of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and sizes, this includes special needs pets who require administration of daily medications.
“I’m so grateful for Deborah! I was worried about how my dog would do being the first we’re apart and she made her feel at home and welcomed. She eased my anxiety with daily updates and returned my dog happy and healthy. I would absolutely work with her again!”

Brian G.
“Brian is one of the most attentive and affectionate caregivers one could ever ask for in looking after their pet. I have a rescue pit-mix whose life started as a bait puppy for a fighting ring and often doesn’t get along with other dogs, who’s allergic to almost everything, and who is more demanding than a toddler when it comes to attention and affection, and Brian’s extensive training and background working with rescue animals, rehabilitating dogs and cats, and as a Veterinary Technician have made him someone that my dog Leeloo and I both love and trust very much. Brian has stayed with Leeloo for many overnights and is a true professional with regard to giving Leeloo her many daily medications and making sure she actually takes them, is excellent at incorporating her training into walks and playtime, and gives her all of the affection she craves to the point that she can see him or hear his voice from a block away and will start crying just to be with him. He’s an exceptional person, has a natural way with animals, and is incredibly knowledgeable about the relationship between humans and dogs. Leeloo and I could not give a higher recommendation for a walker or sitter and love Brian very much! Thank you Brian!!!”
