Cat Sitting Johnson

About: I have been fortunate enough to have grown up with dogs and then continue to own dogs for my entire life. While growing up we owned big dogs, little dogs, smart dogs, goofy dogs and everything in between. When I had a farm and family I continued the tradition of having all types, sizes and temperaments of dogs. I have been solely responsible for training, care and loving all these pups. To say I have learned a lot the old fashioned way would be an understatement. Currently,,I own six Australian Shepherds. I started a very small but very responsible breeding program in 2020. I would have one litter a year by different moms. After a lot of research and talking to different rescues I learned how this particular breed is very misunderstood and end up abandoned or turned over to shelters. I then immediately came to the conclusion I did not want to add to this situation but wanted to be part of the solution. I then turned my sights to rescuing. This has become my passion and I am still helping out Australian Shepherds Furever rescue 3 years later. I have raised pups for them and took the mothers as well. I have personally interviewed and filtered through possible adopters for the pups and the mothers when they were ready. I trained all of our puppies and continue the training processes with the fosters. I have also done some competing with my Aussies and have gained achievement rewards with them. I have a love and passion for all animals and respect each animal individually. Each one is different and learn, trust and love differently. It's this understanding that separates me from other individuals. I currently have 6 Aussies, three cats and all kinds of farm animals. My focus is mostly with the cats and dogs. I do work a full time job but when I'm at home I'm rotating dogs so each one can get the love, attention, stimulation and focus that they deserve. I am always working on training, repetition, and a schedule so days and nights run smoothly in the home. Every dog and cat gets the time and love that they deserve and seek. I'm looking to fill weekends currently and if it's close by I could pull off a week here and there to spend time with other's pets. During these times my other half is home and can show them the attention they need. We won't tell my other half but they enjoy mom time better... Wink wink While in a clients home and taking care of the clients fur babies I will keep the same schedule and routine that those fur babies are already use to. Additionally, if they need to be medicated I will follow those guidelines as well as any outdoor or exercise guidelines. The last thing that I want to do is upset those fur babies anymore than they may already be because mom and dad are gone. My goal is for those fur babies to become part of my large family of fur babies and except me as one of their own. HopefullyI will be liked and utilized enough by your family that me being there is like part of the family visiting.

“Got stuck on a trip and wasn’t gonna make it home in time to let the dogs out and feed them. Chad was a super hero and was able to head over on very short notice! The dogs always love seeing him! Grateful to have someone kind and reliable to call who genuinely cares for my pups.”

About: I’ve spent a lot of time doing long term dogsitting as well as drop in feeding/walks. I have experience with puppies, seniors, and everything in between! I’ll be your dog’s new best friend! I work part time Sunday - Tuesday so I am usually available for sitting or drop in visits Wednesday - Friday, as my schedule allows. For overnight and day care for dogs I am available to travel to your home to sit for your pets. For walks I can travel to your home and walk them around your area, or I can pick your pup up and bring them on a hike or trail walk!

“Allison is incredibly helpful! She helped us work on training our puppy not to jump when greeting strangers and even helped our puppy practice 'sit' commands. Our puppy is only 10 weeks old and can be a huge handful and Allison was incredibly patient and calm with Kona. We greatly appreciated her help!”

“Rebecca is a kind sitter who took thoughtful care of our two girls! One of our cats is very shy, and she did a great job of respecting her space while keeping an eye on her and giving her a chance to socialize at her own pace. Our other cat is very social and took an immediate shine to Rebecca at the meet and greet, and while she was happy to see us we could tell she hadn't missed us too much due to Rebecca's attention. Rebecca sends along thorough updates that include how they're doing with their physical and emotional needs, and you can tell in the photos the cats feel comfortable in her presence. Overall we were very pleased with her services and will definitely book again in the future!”

“Katie was super professional and had a great energy with the dogs. She checked on my old man and let him out to pee, was right on time, and sent updates. Will definitely be booking her again!”

“Lauren was so great! Super responsive and did wonderfully with my anxious dog!”

About: I tend to pet sit for family and friends. They request me personally due to loving animals and how I get along with their animals. I am out of work due to surgery. I can drop in anytime. Thought becoming a sitter during this time would be a good use of my time and get me out of the house. I always make sure the dog and/or cat is taking care of (Food, water, ect). I will stay to keep them company and give attention to them.

“Amber is wonderful! She was very flexible and accommodating with my busy schedule, and bent over backwards to take care of my fur baby like he was her own.”

Dawn M.

“First time using App. Whitney was prompt in her response and arrival time. Sent photos and text before leaving to ask if there was anything else that needed to be done. All around a great experience”

About: I have been around dogs since I was 5 years old andI grew up with every breed under the sun. I currently live with a golden retriever and an small Italian greyhound mix. I trained many of my service dog’s tasks myself and love teaching old dogs new tricks. I work from home with a very flexible schedule so making sure your pets are comfy and taken care of will always be my priority! I am a service dog handler and have learned a ton about dog body language over the course of being part of a team. My goal with all the pups I interact with is to prioritize their comfort and their needs.

“If you need a pet sitter in Stowe, hire Sarah! She watched our King Charles Cavalier Spaniel for a night while we were on vacation, and she was fantastic. Sarah is so warm and friendly. She truly treated our pup like gold, making sure he got his walks and plenty of cuddle time while we were away. It made our night out completely stress-free knowing he was in such loving hands.”

“Can’t say enough good things about Janice. She went above and beyond taking care of our two cats. One was very needy and I received multiple pictures of her hugging my cat up on her shoulder. My other cat is very shy but Janice was able to get him to come downstairs, at least partway, most of the time. When it snowed, she had to shovel the path from the garage to the house. I highly recommend her.”

Teresa M.

“Thank you!”

“This was our first time using Will’s services and we’ll definitely have him back! He kept our puppy entertained and safe while we had to be out for a few hours and was very flexible with timing. Thank you!”

“Meagan has pet sat our cat Sprite a couple of times now and we’re always so pleased with how happy Sprite looks when we return home. Meagan provides helpful updates and photos to let us know how Sprite is doing, and even grabs our mail etc when we’re gone. Thank you Meagan! We and Sprite are lucky to have you :)”

About: I currently reside in Morrisville VT and I work in the area. When I’m not busy hanging with my pets or singing along to a song in the car I am busy with dogs and other animals. I have always loved dogs especially along with my cat Atticus and bearded dragon Bertie. I am comfortable around any type of animal. I love going for hikes and walks but I also love snuggling with my cat and bearded dragon. I grew up with two labs who were some of the most lovable dogs and taught me how to respect, love and care for animals of all sizes and types. I know how to also give dogs pills, and administer other medicines. I can care for any age animal and take extra care of the seniors as they have a large place in my heart! Currently I have pretty open availability. I have mornings as well as weekends availability. I am happy to do morning and evening drop ins as well as weekends availability care. I am a very caring individual. I take the pets needs very seriously and care for them like my own child (even though I have no children). My cat gets daily snuggles, treats and kisses. My bearded dragon get daily runs, cuddles and kisses as well! Every pet is different but every pet deserves the upmost care and love especially when their loved ones are gone for a little.

“My first time using Rover and I booked Nicole to stop by for several check ins, walks a to feed my pup Fig. Nicole was extremely responsive, punctual and I could definitely tell she loves dogs and treats them with care! I will not hesitate to book her again in the future and glad to connect with a local sitter I trust my pup with!”
