“Best dog sitter ever! Stephanie took great care of my dog and made her feel like she was on her own little vacation. She sent daily photos and updates and made me feel at ease while I was away!”
“Georgia was superb. She not only took excellent care of our dog and cat, but also of our home. Both of our pets seemed very relaxed upon of our return, and showed no signs of stress at all. This means something, as our dog is getting older and is generally a pretty anxious dog. Georgia seems to have a special touch with animals, and we would love to use her as a sitter again in the future.”
“Andrew was great. His communication was perfect, and he gave us frequent updates and pictures of our pets. Everything was very well taken care of, and I will definitely use him again!”
About: Over 16 years training, walking and exercising high energy dogs. I have extensive experience with working dogs, special needs dogs and have certifications in dog obedience and other disciplines. I am licensed as a public school teacher and fully background checked. Contact me for the best care. Boarding and adventure daycare is my speciality. I have limited housesitting and drop in availability. Dog walking and exercising is my full-time job. I want to provide a concierge service that makes it easiest for you to take your time back and be well. Your wellness is key to your dog being well. My joy for this profession started when I couldn't find a trusted sitter and dog walker for my own animal. I decided to provide that service to others so they wouldn't have the same problem. I give love, attention and exercise to your family member as if they were my own. I am a licensed public school educator who is fully background checked with glowing references that can be provided and contacted.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I’ve cared for both energetic puppies and older pets who need a slower pace and extra patience. I’m great at picking up on individual needs—whether that’s sticking to a strict feeding schedule, handling clean-up routines, or giving pets the one-on-one attention they deserve. I am free most weekdays after 3pm and open on weekends. I can guarantee you my undivided attention to your pets. I will make sure they are taken care of wonderfully. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, clean, and calm space with plenty of love and attention. I follow their routines carefully to keep things familiar and stress-free. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect the space, follow all instructions, and ensure their pet feels secure and cared for. Clear communication and gentle, attentive care help build trust every step of the way.
“Danielle was absolutely amazing! We will continue to ask her to look after our pups for our future trips. She provided us with updates and didn’t mind at all that we had a lot of specific requests regarding the pups food etc. she took perfect care of them and kept them company so we didn’t have to worry at all about them while we were gone.”
“Meghan is great. She provided daily picture updates with comments. It is obvious she has spent many occasions caring for dogs overnight. She is mature and responsible and knows what she is doing which is a real plus! I highly recommend her.”
“Shelby was a wonderful sitter for Juniper. She made herself available on very short notice and took great care of Juniper who is recovering from surgery. She sent detailed updates and was lovely to communicate with. We would be happy to book with her again!”
About: There isn't a time in my life when I have not been around dogs. I was a dog walker throughout college and now I am a dog owner myself. I am an active walker in my neighborhood who has experience with multiple breeds and sized dogs. I currently have a 2-year-old Aussie, and we would love to add your pup to the mix for however long you need! I can do weekends and holidays if I am available. There are some great trails for us to walk on around my neighborhood. Alfie (my pup) also plays with every dog that comes over! My schedule changes often so I will try my best to keep my calendar up to date. My house is puppy-proofed since I have a puppy myself. If you have any requests or concerns please just let me know ahead of time!
“Liz was on very short notice for us and made us feel secure in leaving our pups with her in our home even though we had not had her sit prior. She updated us with photos and video, and left our home as she found it. Thank you Liz for taking care of Tuna, Budgie, and Bug!”
About: Hi, I’m John — a lifelong animal lover with over 40 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and even birds. I’m also the owner of Vermont Dog Camp, where I lead off-leash group adventures for pups across Addison County. I bring decades of hands-on experience and a deep respect for every animal’s unique personality. I am insured and certified in animal 1st aid/CPR. When I’m not walking dogs with Vermont Dog Camp, I’m usually spending time at home with my own pets or caring for others in the neighborhood. Whether it’s a morning walk, a midday check-in, or a cozy evening visit, I always make time to give each pet the attention and care they deserve. I currently only offer service in the client's home or off-site for walks. Dog walks can be in town, or on public or privately owned land away from crowds and traffic.
About: Life long dog owner and volunteer Adoption Coordinator with local Dog Rescue -expertise with small dogs! Avid hiker, runner and dog lover! Fully fenced yard and 2 dogs for company! I volunteer full time remotely for a local dog Rescue. I offer a flexible schedule and can provide dog care in my home or yours as needed. I have a small dog and a “small dog friendly” medium sized dog for playmates as well as a large fenced yard! I am very cautious to leave my dogs with sitters and understand the added stress of leaving a small dog or puppy in care. I offer 100 percent supervision and safety when I care for pets! I have years of experience with training dogs and knowledge of dog behaviors. I offer care specific to your dog’s needs and can provide drop in visits, walks or hikes and daycare or overnight stays in my home. We have a fully fenced yard in the woods.
About: I’ve been an animal lover and caretaker my whole life. I have novice vet tech experience and I’m not afraid of the feisty ones, either! I’m working full time but my shift currently runs from 5pm to 1am Tues-Sat, so I am available for walks, play sessions, and pet/house sitting as needed around those hours. Working hours subject to change every few weeks. I like to have fun with my furry friends. I’m not afraid to get down and dirty, or even rough when the zoomies come out.
About: I grew up around animals of all kinds on a farm and had the privilege of owning and loving our dog, Betty Lou for 14 years. I work from home and am looking for ways to make extra money while staying active and fitting in with my kids' school schedule (9 am-3 PM). We have a fenced in yard and I will follow whatever guidelines are needed in the client's home. I understand each situation is different and each pet needs specific care.

Carlyan V.
“I had the pleasure of having Carlyan care for my cat, Toby, while I was away, and I couldn’t be more grateful for her help. Toby can be a bit shy and particular, but Carlyan was incredibly gentle and caring with him from the start. She took the time to make sure he felt safe, comfortable, and loved, and I could tell he was in good hands throughout the entire time I was gone. Carlyan communicated with me regularly, kept me updated, and followed all of Toby’s care instructions perfectly. Her calm and attentive nature made all the difference.

I’ve watched him care for dogs, cats and even birds with patience, confidence, and genuine affection. As the owner of Vermont Dog Camp, he’s out on the trails with dogs almost every day, keeping them happy, safe, and well-exercised. I trust him completely with my own pets, and I’ve seen how quickly other animals warm up to him. He’s dependable, knowledgeable and always goes the extra mile.”
Laurie P.
“There are three things that set Laurie apart from other dog sitters: 1. She is reliably caring and understanding with our pet. She gets our dog, and loves her quirks. 2. Laurie is totally dependable. She trekked through 12’’ of snow up a steep driveway to visit our pet on a cold, winter morning. 3. Laurie is proactive about resolving problems whether they are behavioral, medical or something else. If your pet won’t take her medicine, she can handle it. If your pet needs some extra TLC, she can handle it. Laurie also walks our dog, sits with her and gives her much-needed attention and checks in with texts, photos and videos. I highly recommend her.”
