“Kayla is a friendly, responsible, hardworking pet sitter and a genuine lover of animals. I would 100% book her again. She had vast experience with all sorts of animals, and I trusted her completely with my pets. I wish everyone was as good as Kayla! Book her, you won’t regret it.”

“First time using Rover and KayMaria was fantastic. I have one very social cat and one shy cat, and they both loved her. Shy cat didn’t run and hide like he does with most. I got daily updates with wonderful pictures and videos. It allowed me to enjoy my vacation a bit more knowing my cats were in great hands.”

About: Since I was in Middle School, friends, family, and locals ask me take out, feed, play, and stay with their fur babies! I have watched dogs for 2 weeks at a time, a weekend, a night, and even just a drop in. I have experience with puppies, adult, and senior dogs, and will go out of my way to make sure they feel loved while their pawrents are away! I’m currently working full-time, so I have plenty of time after work to play and take care of your pets! Even with a full-time job, your fur baby will be unconditionally loved, as I love my own. I grew up walking and taking care of my own dogs, as well as friend’s and local’s dogs. I’ve never been without a dog. I’m committed to doing everything I can to keep your fur babies happy, as they will be doing the same for me!

About: Lost my fur baby almost 2 years ago. I raised her from a puppy, I also had another dog as well along with cats. My other dog was a rescue so I’m well versed in dogs with anxiety and other social challenges. I do not shy away from dogs with all kinds of different behaviors and quirks. I love dogs (and cats!) and miss having a dog by my side. I would love to help care for other’s fur babies when they’re in need of outside support. I have a degree in Animal Science and am well versed in animal care. I can clip nails, give meds, care for wounds, support with behavioral challenges and socialization, grooming, etc. I have 11 acres where I live and can provide ample exercise through hikes in the woods, I am also open to taking them places like dog parks or vet appointments. I am available and able to handle multiple animals at a time. I have owned dogs and cats my whole life and have done pet, farm and house sitting since I was a kid off and on throughout the years. I have consistently watched a coworkers dog when she is away as well as other friends and family. I currently work full time and have availability nights and weekends. Evenings I’m available any time after 5pm. I’m available any time on the weekends. I have the flexibility of working remote from home and can if needed for weekday over nights (for those that can’t be left for long periods). I intend to switch to part time employment once I have more consistent clients. I have 11 acres of land to walk and hike with dogs on or off leash. I have a cat of my own and separate housing available for dogs that aren’t cat friendly. There is an old dog on property (family member’s in separate housing) that is dog & people friendly. He stays inside in seperate housing except for potty breaks. Dog is available for play for the right fit.

About: I have taken care of dogs for a majority of my life. Whether family dogs or my own. I currently have two pitbulls, who are my best friends. Im looking to help others in the community with any pet need they may need. Please reach out and dont hesitate to ask any kind of question! Starting at the end of October I am available Monday - Friday 7am - 4pm. Weekend and after 4pm availability if it works with my family's schedule. Never hesitate to reach out and ask!! I will be your pets best friend. Im full of energy to meet your pups needs or I can enjoy a good relaxing movie day too if thats what your pet needs. I will make sure they get to go out on walks, go potty, clean their poops up, make sure water is full, we can go on rides, to the doggy park if they are friendly with others, grooms, and much more!!

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'm the former owner of a dog hiking business. After having children and working in the freelance world, the longing to continue to work outside with pups is stronger than ever. I currently am open to any dog; city walkers, dogs in training and puppies. I offer consistency and stability in leash training and proper walking etiquette. In the past, I only took senior, free range puppers. While dogs NEVER left my sight, I was strict on free rangers. If clients had any concerns about their dogs recall, we'd have not been the right fit.

“What a dear person. Nadine is a natural with knowledge and a love of animals. She showed great judgement, and was kind enough to let me know when our cat was in for the night. She was thoughtful, and clearly is great with animals. Our cat was thoroughly in love.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats and have done house sitting for 4 years. I love doing this kind of stuff. I can walk them, go for walks all that fun stuff. Im doing babysitting right now but can house sit whenever and can be with the dogs/cats whenever. I am always free to take them out whenever needed. I will watch pets in your home and or/ stay in your home for house sitting overnight. I will keep them safe and follow any rules.

“Lizzie was great with the dogs and everyone was happy on our return. Lizzie was on time and dependable. Everyone was loved as one of her own. I would definitely recommend.”

About: I grew up on a small farm as a child. From very young, I was responsible for mucking stalls on weekends and feeding our horses and family dog. I've have had my own dog/dogs for the last 13 years and can't imagine a life without them. I am either at home with my daughter or working from home while she is at school, so I have lots of time to walk and care for your dog. I go out, for example, to run errands, but would never be leaving your dog for long. We would love to have your well-behaved dog that is used to a younger child (age 11) while you are away or in the area, and would love and cuddle your dog as our own. We would love to hang out with your dog during the day inside or outside on walks as you felt comfortable. At night, I ask that your dog(s) be amenable to either sleeping in a crate or in a bed without barking. Our dog sleeps in an open soft crate--we don't allow dogs on furniture. If we sound like a good fit for you, I would love to talk to make sure we are indeed the right sitter for you. I know that a dog often feels as much a part of a family as a child -- and would be honored to be entrusted with such a responsibility. Thank you. :)

“Colleen is the absolute best!! She took phenomenal care of our pup and he adored her. I would re-book in an instant!!”
