Pet Sitting in Middlebury Center

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all age and sizes since I was a child. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to do anything their pet needs while they’re away. In the future I’m looking to take a dog training course and slow transition into that as a full time job. Every morning I wake up and immediately tend to the dogs and let them outside to use the bathroom and play around, then we come Inside to eat breakfast to start the day. We go outside about 3x daily to potty and play. I have a big privacy fenced in yard for play time. I have 4 dogs of my own. However I typically do not let them converse with my boarding dogs unless known that they are friendly.

About: Growing up, dogs have always been an integral part of my life. From the moment I was a child, I was fortunate to have a furry companion by my side. My first dog, a cheerful Labrador named Buddy, taught me the true meaning of loyalty and unconditional love. I remember how he would greet me with wagging tail every day after school, his eyes shining with excitement. As I grew older, my bond with dogs only deepened. Each dog brought its own unique personality and joy into my life. There was Max, the mischievous Beagle who loved to dig holes in the yard, and then there was Daisy, a gentle Golden Retriever who was the perfect therapy dog, always calming and comforting. These experiences shaped my understanding of patience, responsibility, and compassion. Having dogs my whole life has also meant facing some challenges—like caring for their health, training them, and saying goodbye when the time comes. Those moments were heartbreaking, but they also reinforced the preciousness of every moment spent together. Their unwavering loyalty and the pure happiness they radiate have left a lasting impact on me. Overall, my lifelong relationship with dogs has been a journey filled with love, learning, and unforgettable memories. They’ve been more than pets; they’ve been family, teachers, and best friends. I can’t imagine my life. I am currently off for the summer! Looking for someone to get exercise with and have fun! I have a pretty open schedule to fit all of your needs! Understanding the pet’s needs: Gather detailed info about the pet’s diet, routines, health issues, and preferences from the owner. Creating a safe environment: Ensure the space is free of hazards, and provide a comfortable area for eating, sleeping, and playing. Feeding and hydration: Follow the owner’s instructions for meals, treats, and fresh water. Exercise and mental stimulation: Engage the pet with appropriate play, walks, or training activities. Grooming and hygiene: Assist with brushing, bathing, or cleaning up after the pet as instructed. Medication and health monitoring: Administer medications if needed, and observe for signs of illness or discomfort, reporting any concerns to the owner. Security: Keep doors, gates, and fences secure; supervise outdoor activities.

About: We recently moved to the area. My daughter is 16 and dog sat/walked a lot where we used to live. We decided to start fresh in this new area together. So here we are!! I've had cats and dogs my entire life and my daughter has grown up with them as well! My daughter and I love animals and have a bit of a zoo ourselves right now. We treat pets like they are family... because they are! But we also like to travel and sometimes you can't take your pets with you. We know how stressful it is to try and find an affordable kennel and putting your pets in a kennel not knowing if and how your pet is being taken care of while you are gone. That is why we want to share our love of animals by taking care of your babies and giving you some peace of mind while you're away. I only work part time and have plenty of time to care for and play with your pets. I also have two 16 year olds that love pets and are more than willing to help out! I don’t have a fenced yard. So, I take the dogs out on leashes 4-6 times a day. They get exercise and I can see and make sure they’re going potty throughout the day.

About: Hii I’m Shannon, 27 and currently living in the city of Syracuse. I Have a dog of my own. His name is ace and is a pit/boxer mix. He is 9 years old & 90 lbs. You can count on me to be reliable and loving to your pet!! Prefer taking care/walking dogs that weigh 30 lbs or more mainly because I’m used to bigger dogs. I do take care of 1 of my landlords dogs occasionally overnight on weekends, so I do have experience with them other than my own dog... my availability is very flexible. Would love to talk more if interested :) I can do early mornings during the week (Monday-Friday) 6am- 9am and evenings on Tuesday and Thursdays 5:30pm-9:30pm, and every other weekend works! (Schedule will be changing mid-October after i graduate from school) Lots of outside time, we take walks around the neighborhood or at our favorite parks, snuggles on the couch watching movies and getting back scratches

“Meagan is so kind, patient, and thorough. She goes above and beyond and is a great communicator. I'm very grateful to have her looking after my boy while I'm at work.”

About: I’ve been a pet lover ever since I’m a kid. I own 7 cats and they are my whole heart, I truly love them more than anything else. I would love nothing more than to help you and your pet in a time of need ❤️ Currently, I live in my own home with my seven kitties. I typically wake up around 5 am and spend a bit of time with my animals and feed them and clean their boxes and all that other fun stuff! Caring for my pets is my number one priority, they truly do mean the world to me. I strive to create a pet friendly environment where my animals and yours will be happy and comfortable! My seven babies are comfortable with other cats and are for the most part comfortable with dogs. My two cats, Nala and Val, are quite skittish but arrangements can be made so that they aren’t around dogs if need be. I have a spare bedroom that is mostly for the cats with litter boxes and toys set up, but that room can be used for boarding or just to give our animals a bit of time to get used to each other! If you have a dog who likes to run around outside, accommodations can definitely be made for that as well! My yard is not fenced in, but it’s spacious enough that I can run around with your pup! Truly, whatever accommodations you need, I am happy to help.

I drive a Chevy Traverse, for when I need to either pick dogs up from their home's or for when we leave the dogs have somewhere to sit. My services are great, because here in our house we love animals of all shapes and sizes. I take pride in taking care of our animals and yours as well. My husband works part time, and I am also working. But don't worry taking care of your fur babies will not get in the way. Our back deck is fenced in on the top. We I do let the dogs outside as often as they like (typically every few hours.) Our dogs roam the house as they please and they always have food and water out.
