About: Hi! I’ve been pet sitting and had my own dog for many years. Now, I have experience from drop-in visits to extended overnight stays, with many different types of needs. I’m dedicated to caring for a pet the same way their owner would and look forward to spending time with animals. I work from home most days and can accommodate a flexible potty schedule and activity level. I enjoy taking breaks to spend with pets, to get outside or tuck in on the sofa! I have an enclosed garden and large, unfenced yard. We are well back from the main road so pets are welcome to explore the neighborhood.
About: I have always been around pets of all kinds; reptiles, house pets, farm animals, even a tarantula. I am caring and attentive and up for anything! I work from home and set my own work schedule. Pet care can fit right into my flexible schedule. I would love to have a companion on my walks, as I listen to my podcasts!! I like to do my research on a particular pet if I am going to care for it. This ensures I will properly handle and care for the pet, as they vary!
About: I have grown up with dogs in my life since day one. I have learned how to take care of puppies with high energy to old dogs that need help going out to the bathroom. I have been dog watching for over 8 years and I am used to working with Rover. I’m also available for weekly/reoccurring meetings! I work retail part time and on break from school at Northeastern. I am available most days and have a few shifts a week. I’m free for morning and night walks and for dog sitting too! I will cater to the dogs needs and adjust how I act depending on visual signs. I’m ready to run and puppy around to get out energy. I’m prepared for a dog who is scared and will take time to get use to me.
“Natasha was timely and communicative. She left our home just as she found it!”
“Jordin did a great job with my cat! I love that she sent me photos each time she visited my house so I knew that my cat was being well taken care of.”
About: Throughout my life, I’ve always surrounded myself with animals. Ive owned horses, dogs, and cats and also have extensive experience with rescue dogs who have endured trauma. I have yet to meet an animal that I haven’t befriended and continue to work closely with rescues and assist people in rehoming their pets. I just left my job as a social worker and am currently pursuing my MSW. I am looking for a part time gig to help get me through school, so my schedule is pretty open. :) I normally go for a morning walk with my own rescue pup and then hit the yoga mat and get some school work done. My schedule is very flexible. I have a rescue dog who does not get along with other doggos (disappointing but we respect his boundaries). Therefore, I wouldn’t be able to house your doggo at my home but open to house sitting and for advance notice clients, I can have my father watch my dog for a week or so.
“Julia was everything we could wish for in a cat sitter and more! She communicated well from the initial inquiry throughout the entire visit, including sending us pictures of our cat and letting us know how she was doing. Julia has a ton of experience caring for animals and cats especially, and didn't bat an eye when I explained the unusual feeding routine or medicine needs of our cat. I highly recommend Julia for anyone in the Springfield area. You are in safe hands!”
About: I am a dog lover and have owned dogs for 15 years. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs. I can help with puppy training and can administer any medications if necessary. I would love the opportunity to walk your dogs or house sit while you are on vacation. I have open availability. I would really enjoy the opportunity to get to know you and your fur babies. I'm open for all types of visits. My puppy is on a harness and leash. She is always contained or in my home. I have a yard but unfenced. I live down the street from a dog park.
About: I've always loved all animals. I have not only owned dogs and cats my whole life but have owned ferrets, hedgehogs, birds. I even fostered a baby raccoon once. I am available to house/ pet sit Friday evening through Sunday even. And will be flexible for house/ pet sit other days of the week. I am friendly, professional and flexible. I love animals of all kind. Enjoy going for walks and playing fetch. Also enjoy relaxing around and giving belly rubs. :)
“I could not recommend Jaime more! She was absolutely lovely and very compassionate with both of my dogs. She dealt with road closures and a few hiccups with the flooding/bad storms we had in Vermont during the week of her sitting but was very communicative and helpful throughout the week. I had never left my dogs with anyone but family/close friends prior to having her dog sit and will most definitely be hiring her again. You can tell she truly loves animals and cares about them.”
“Haley went above and beyond! A third party had left a vital door open and my cat ventured out - Haley let me know immediately, did all the leg work of contacting Rover's support line, got a fb post going, spent a ton of extra time poking around hiding spots outside and even went out and purchased tuna to coax her back home. It was a scary experience but I'm so glad Haley was there for it and that my cat friend is safely home thanks to her efforts with her daught. First time using Rover and glad I did, the support the company offers in this kind of situation is spot on and beyond what I would have expected!”
“Agnes was great! She came and dropped in on our two kitties while we were out. She shared photos and updates every time and gave us peace of mind. She also took good care of our home during her visits. We came home to happy kitties!”
About: I promise to keep your fur baby safe and happy as can be while you're away. I will provide playtime, walks, cuddles and a lot of attention. I am very interactive and not afraid to be goofy in order to make a genuine connection with your pet. Don't be afraid to leave me detailed instructions- I get it and have fur and feathered babies of my own! I am able to walk up to 2 to 3 big dogs at a time and feel confident in my abilities to give commands and appropriate rewards/disciplines. If your pet(s) gets dirty, I will bathe them as well as clean up any messes that occur. I also will keep your home sweet home neat and tidy so you never come home to a mess. I have grown up with pets and have always owned one or two.. okay, maybe 3 at a time. I make genuine connections with animals (wild ones, too) and would love to give them the opportunity to get outside all season long (even in the winter). If your pet would like an adventure buddy and companion who will distract them from your absence then give me a shout. Feel free to contact me with questions and concerns. I would be more than happy to chat with you!
“Faye was fantastic. She took really good care of my dogs while we were out of town. I would highly recommended her to anyone and we will definitely use her again.”
“Simba fell in love with Ilia immediately!!! So happy !”
“Maria was great dog sitting our new puppy! She was flexible and on time, and provided updates throughout. She clearly loves dogs and our puppy clearly had fun!”
About: I grew up on a farm in Lowell. We always had plenty of cats and dogs to play with. And I have always loved animals. I have experience with watching dogs regularly for a home with 13 dogs so that has been quite the adventure but I love it. I love to give them treats and play with them and just plain spoil them with attention. The owner was concerned about them taking to a new person but they took right to me. Pets do seem to take to me well. And now I am looking for more furry friends so I hope you will contact me! I work from home and I make my own hours. So I am quite flexible. I can do overnights or day visits or walks. I am in Newport Center village but am willing to go within 20 minutes depending on the job. For overnights on a regular basis I may do about 25 minutes away. If you are in Newport Town, Newport City, North Troy, Troy, Jay, Coventry, Irasburg, and Derby these are all well within my area. Others like Brownington, and Barton and Albany and Derby Line and maybe Craftsbury are possible depending on situation. As far as safety, and trust, I mostly do sitting in the client's home so I will do whatever the client wishes, and make sure the pets are safe.
“Super helpful despite a last minute change and chaotic situation!”
“Holly was fantastic. She is responsive, professional, and conscientious. She took great care of my two cats. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”
“Alexis took care of our 2 cats while we were out of town. My husband and I were nervous leaving our kitties with someone we didn't know. However, Alexis was very communicative with my husband and me. She sent many photos and texts about how our cats were doing. We also spoke to Alexis on the phone during our absence from the cats. Additionally, Alexis is a Veterinary Technician. The kitties seemed just fine when we returned from our trip.”

Georgia R.
“Georgia was the best fur baby sitter anyone could ask for! She followed specific instructions exactly as asked and my dog let me know she was treated well because she was always happy to see Georgia. We are very happy that she got into the college of her choice but we were also very sad to lose our most trusted sitter.”

“I have known Shannon for almost two years now, and she has one of the sweetest, more caring souls I know. She absolutely loves animals and is very responsible with her own personal pets.

Hayley M.
“Hayley grew up around animals and has a special connection with them! She rescued a dog from the south and had to undo everything he knew and turn him around from being untrainable to trainable. She also had to address his behavior and work on a better temperament! Her dog moogie did a complete turnaround and is a lovely dog. In conclusion she is very energetic and would treat your dog with the utmost kindness!”
