Information Katie V. would like to know about your pet

We love all types of dogs but I have my own senior dogs and cats so it’s important to me that any dog we sit is respectful that the old timers as may not be interested in playing as much as them. And of course we don’t want to watch a dog that is interested in eating the cats lol

A typical day

There’s plenty of room to run around, both in the house and the yard for the active dog who likes to stick close to home. We are also happy to take your pup on adventures whether it be a long walk or hike, as we live right by Smugglers Notch For the more anxious or older dog, we are happy to just sit and cuddle with them inside if that’s what they prefer!

Pet care experience

Hello! I’m Katie and I’m the woman petting the dog instead of socializing at the party. My fiancé Jonny and I relocated back to Lamoille county a few years ago and we’d love to watch your dog! We currently have a senior chihuahua foster fail named Pig. Before leaving Philly, Jonny worked for Happy Tails of Philly as a sitter & walker for 8 years. I was formerly the GM and Boarding Coordinator for a chain of dog daycares in Philadelphia, working for them for 4 years-so it’s safe to say we are well versed with canines! I was a foster parent with City of Elderly Love in Philly and hope to foster again now that I’ve relocated to Vermont. All of our dog experience can guarantee that not only is your dog going to be safe and comfortable with us, but will have as much fun possible! Whether that’s playing fetch in the yard, going for a walk or lounging on the couch, we are happy as long as the dogs around us are! Since becoming a foster parents to seniors dogs years ago, we have gained much knowledge and experience with special needs and administering different types of medications. I have a part time job but Jonny will be home full time for the pups with separation anxiety. If you board with us, our place will be your dog’s home away from home. 💕 Dogs staying with us will never be left outside unattended and will always be leashed. We do have crates for crate trained dogs. All dogs we watch must be dog friendly.

We have left our pups with Katie for many years - the dogs love her and we trust her with our fur babies! The dogs love staying with her!

Katie and Jonny were amazing with our little Cara! This was Caras first time with a sitter and sure did great! We will definitely book with them again in the future!

Katie and Johnny are very loved by our needy and eccentric pup and we are very glad we found them! Would definitely recommend them to others who are looking for their pup to enjoy a getaway while they travel!
