Pet Sitting in Middlebury

“Laura was stellar at caring for my pets. Very communicative and kind. My animals did not seem stressed at all when I returned home - I think a very good sign they were in great hands!”

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.

“Lorrie always did a fantastic job looking after my cat. He tends to revert back into “stray mode” with most new folks, but she look her time and managed to get him to feel safe and comfortable. I hope Lorrie can look after Champ again in the future. I highly recommend her!”

About: I grew up with dogs my entire life. I have taken care of dogs big and small, healthy dogs and dogs with epilepsy, puppies and dogs as old as 19. I also have dog sat for my local veterinarian who has 3 dogs, a 3-legged cat, 20 chickens, and a rooster. This has given me the experience to work with a lot of different personalities and the ability to care for multiple animals at once. I’m currently in a transition period between jobs and have availability any time of day Monday through Sunday. I usually go for one run and two walks a day anyway, and would love a furry friend to join me! I always get to know the personality of an animal before I walk or pet a dog. I think it is very important to build trust with furry friends so that we can both have an enjoyable experience. I make sure to pick up after the dogs I walk and make sure they have the essentials such as water, food, warmth, safety, and toys.

About: What sets me apart is my 16+ years of paid pet care experience with dogs, cats, fish, and large animals. I’m Red Cross Pet First Aid certified and experienced with senior pets, medications, special diets, and individualized care. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and happy in their normal routine, and I provide regular photo and text updates so owners have peace of mind while they’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I schedule my day around the pets in my care to make sure they receive consistent feeding, exercise, potty breaks, attention, and companionship. I enjoy being active with pets and making sure they feel comfortable and well cared for, whether that’s through walks, playtime, or simply spending quality time with them. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment and always follow your instructions closely regarding feeding, medications, and routines. I take time to build trust with each pet and ensure they feel secure. I maintain a safe space, keep a close eye on behavior, and provide updates so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

“Excellent! Reliable and personal attention to cars and humans.”

“Thank you so much for going above and beyond for a drop-in visit. I’m sure the dogs all enjoyed some extra time outside and on a walk!”

About: *PRIVATELY INSURED✅ *CPR CERTIFIED/FIRST AID TRAINED 🩹 ***Please be sure to look through my entire profile, photo album and reviews before reaching out, thank you!*** Growing up in a small town in Vermont, where there were more cows than people, I developed a passion for all animals early on. I spent my summers in high school working with horses before working at my first dog daycare and haven’t stopped working with dogs since! Over the last decade, I have worked at well-regarded animal care companies in Vermont and around the Boston area and recently transitioned from a top-rated dog training/off leash hiking company to providing private, full-time dog care services. Fun facts about me: •I love sharks ◡̈ •I went to school for Graphic Design Serving Middlebury and adjacent communities, my mission revolves around the care and enrichment of my furry friends so I will be with your pup at all times! As someone who has worked with countless animals with many different personalities, making each one feel safe and welcome is most important to me. It is my job to create a clean, safe and fun environment. Your dog will have access to my fully fenced in private back yard with my supervision throughout their stay! I understand that every animal has different needs and desires and I will do everything to make sure your furry family member is comfortable!

About: Relationship with animals has always been a passion of mine. I started grooming dogs with my grandmother at the age of 10, but was her assistant long before I earned the title. It brings me joy and fulfillment to care for pups and cats alike, while creating an environment where they (and you) can feel safe and earn my trust in the process. As a part time bartender at Pascolo Restaurant in Downtown Burlington, it would fit into my schedule to walk dogs in the morning, afternoon and early evening as well as weekends. There is a lot of freedom to work around your schedule :) In my home, I live off of Main Street in Vergennes and can provide safe walking around town as well as some of the trails near by. In your home, I am quick to adapt to whatever will make you most comfortable!

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Mara. She did twice daily drop ins and walks with my 3 Australian shepherds and kitty in my camper and followed all my crazy routines/ niche camper instructions to a T. She was timely, communicative and I know my babies were loved on in my absence. My trip ended up being delayed >30 hours and ended up with 3 additional checkins. Mara and her flexibility are the only reason I stayed sane throughout my ordeal- knowing above all my family was taken care of. 10/10. I would recommend Mara to anyone looking for peace of mind any time they need to leave town!”

About: I have actively been taking care of dogs since I was a teenager, and in doing so I have worked with a variety of breeds, sizes, and dog of different ages. My manner of minding focuses on building a connection with the dog while uniquely understanding the breed and the specific needs they may need met. I'm very active and thus great with dogs who are looking to get in shape or have high energy levels. I have experience working with dogs who have been abused or neglected and re-socialising them. My home is large enough for multiple dogs of many sizes to be comfortable in as well as a short walk away from multiple parks. Both mornings as well nights are currently available Monday-Sunday.

“Karen was fantastic! My pup was quite the handful (first time) & she was so patient & knowledgeable & really went the extra mile above & beyond. Highly recommend!”
