House Sitting in Middlebury

“Brooke has been great with my slightly neurotic dog. She's done everything I asked of her and been very respectful of my space. If you have a rigid schedule with your dog you may need to be more flexible due to her schedule, but everything has been great. I would definitely use her again.”

About: I’ve worked in pharmacy for 10+ years. I love all animals, and willing to learn the care your animal needs. I’ve watched friends and family’s pets for as long as I can remember. I work full time and work 10hr shifts but shift times vary and it allows me more days off in a week. I am willing to share my schedule with you ahead time to see if it works well with you. Pets need just as much attention as anything else. So I will make time accordingly that fits your needs. I have some experience giving dogs pills and supplements. I love cooking fresh food for animals, of course with your approval first of all ingredients. My fur baby recently crossed the bridge, so Im hoping to fill the void by giving your pet some love until I’m ready for another fur baby.

“Laura is very responsible and great to deal with. We appreciate how she is attentive and provides updates. She’s great!”

“She was so awesome! We have two dogs and she had her sister come help out while we were gone also so the babies had extra loving hands. We have never left the kids with anyone more professional!! Honestly we might hangout and become friends after this sitting session! Thank you Ladies!!”

“Alysa is absolutely amazing! This was the second time Alysa’s cared for our dogs and I can’t say enough good things about her. My dogs were SO well loved— long walks, time playing ball, swimming— I don’t think the dogs wanted us to come home! Alysa also sent so many awesome pics of our pups having fun, playing, cuddling, smiling….. it was fantastic. We were able to fully enjoy our vacation knowing that our dogs were in such good hands :) Alysa is thoughtful, professional, communicative, kind, responsible, and absolutely awesome!”

About: Hello!! My names is Alison, I am a student-athlete at Middlebury College! I have a cat named Scratches and a 4-year old dog named koda who is a lab/hound mix! I am a huge animal lover! I am super active and energetic and spend a lot of this energy either playing ice hockey or playing with my pets! I love to drive so distance is not a big deal for me. I love to go on hikes and walks around ct with my dog, especially taking him to lakes and beaches he can swim at! Wether it's relaxing and cuddling or out running around burning off energy with your pets, I can do any of it! I am free almost everyday of the week except Sundays and Mondays! I am taking rest of this semester off taking care of my mother who is sick, and will be here for the rest of the summer! I grew up surrounded by animals, wanting to be a veterinarian. I have owned pets from hamsters, guinea pigs, dogs, cats, and they have lived/are living extremely long healthy lives. We also feed our pets very natural and organic food and make sure they get amazing nutrition.

“Steven is great! He’s friendly and our dogs couldn’t have been happier and more well taken care of when we got home. He was quick to take our sitting job in a pinch and we look forward to having him hang with our dogs again in the future!”

“Meghan was awesome!! This was our first time spending the long weekend at our home with our two pups. She took them on long walks, checked in often with photos and was very respectful of our house too- even doing dishes and laundry (thank you Meghan!) one of our pups is a little anxious but Meghan was very attentive and caring and made sure to check in about anything that I didn’t leave a note about. An excellent experience! Will definitely book with Meghan again ?”

“Molly gave Maude tons of attention and care during my trip. Molly is a great communicator who kept me up to date and sent pictures each day. I will definitely ask Molly to dog sit the next time I need coverage.”

About: In the last decade+ I've taken care of half a dozen dogs and nearly a dozen cats for friends and through word-of-mouth, including a very senior chihuahua who was blind and deaf and needed diapers changed. I always had cats and dogs around growing up, including two difficult dogs from shelters who had issues. I live with an energetic pit-lab mix, and my parents' three rescue cats are still my sweeties. In the past I volunteered at an animal shelter, helping to socialize cats and walk dogs. I hike every day if I can, so if your dog enjoys vigorous exercise on trails, I can provide that too! I'm an adjunct college professor and freelance writer, so my work is part-time or sporadic, with much of it being done at home. If I'm available, I'll have plenty of time to linger and give attention to your pets! I'll follow your lead on what situations you're comfortable with for your pet, in terms of where I bring your dog for a walk, how they interact with other animals and people, etc.

About: I am the proud dog mom of my sweet Blue Heeler Summit! He is 7 years old so I have plenty of experience taking care of him. I have pet sat multiple times for my friends dogs and cats and love spending time with animals! I am patient, loving and detail oriented. Whatever your needs for your fur babies, I will be happy to accommodate! I work 4 days a week and have availability early morning and evenings on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday & Friday. I have all day availability on Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays. I will be happy to take your pets on walks and play outside. Giving them lots of attention and love will be my goal in hopes the time you are away will go fast for them! I will be sure to always keep them on leash and safe throughout their time with me.

“Highly recommend Jimmy to watch your pups while you’re away!”

“Karen is extremely kind and pleasant. It was hard to tell she was even here! She took great care of our dog, even giving him a bath! He was very happy with her. We would use Karen again!”

“John did an amazing job with our dogs this last week. We had booked John for the first time on a last-minute notice, and he did not disappoint! He came over before we left so we could introduce him to our 2 dogs (3 year old Black Lab and 1 year old Shar Pei) and go for a walk with us. While we were gone he stayed in contact with us about the dogs, and sent photos. When we got back home, the bed was stripped, house was clean, and dogs were happy and healthy. We definitely recommend John!”

“Liddy was wonderful and took great care of our pup (and apartment) while we were out of town. She sent us several great updates and was always prompt and communicative. We came home to a very happy dog who had gotten lots of attention and love while we were away!”

Alexis B.

“Chase sent pictures every day and treated Cookie very well. She'll look forward to seeing him again!”

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.

“Gabby was awesome! Totally trust her to come back and watch the pups!”

About: I've taken care of animals of all kinds since I was very young. I currently own dogs, cats, a guinea pig, and chickens, and if there are others that need attention, I'm happy to drop in with detailed instructions. I'm a mom and elementary school nurse. I am relatively flexible, mostly on weekends, but happy to work out the details for when you need someone to be with your babies. At this time, my services will be mainly checking in and providing care and attention to pets in your home. I am thorough and conscientious.

About: I’m a fur mama of one 85lb , 3 year old mush who is hyper, energetic , and very needy. I love taking him on walks, to the beach, and anywhere he can go to get his energy out. My fiancé and I are planning our dream wedding and I would love to offer pet care in your house ( or mine if your dog or dog friendly) . I would love to give someone the opportunity to go on vacation without the Warriors of their pet being lonely or not getting the attention they deserve. I’m well experienced in dogs of all breeds and sizes and emotional/ physical needs. I am a teacher Monday- Friday but have weekends and summers off. I can be there before and after school, as well. Weekends I am free. I want to offer your pet lots of love, care and engagement while you are traveling. I try to keep them on their normally scheduled routine and work with the pet parent to make sure they are comfortable or have any special requests.
