About: I am an organized and observant pet caretaker, at home I have two happy black cats and a thriving freshwater african dwarf frog tank. I'm experienced in administering medicine to cats, and enjoy working with fish and birds too! I work full time in Montpelier, and would prefer to recieve requests 1-2 weeks in advance to provide the best care possible. I'm currently available for morning and evening drop in visits. I have two indoor catsand believe a happy cat is key to a home. My litter box philosophy is the more the better, and I will scoop 1-2 times a day and clean the surrounding area.

“Steph was easy to work with and reliable. She updated me on her Arrival and sent photos of our fur babies. Definitely will be using her again!”

About: I've owned and taken care of dogs my entire life. I'm proud to be one of the first people friends and family call when a petsitter is needed. I love walking, and I love dogs. This seems like the perfect opportunity to exercise and get my animal fix! I'm currently working full-time Monday through Friday. I can do evening walks after 5:00 PM (as weather allows) and I can do weekends between 9:00 AM - 6 PM. My current apartment doesn't allow pets, but I can housesit on weekends or in the evenings if the location is somewhat close to my work in Waterbury. I'm a long-time vegetarian, and have always had an extra sensitive heart when it comes to animals. I think that earning an animal's trust is such a privilege and gift, and I honor that. I cannot house pets in my current apartment, but I will follow the guidance and knowledge of the owners in their homes and while on walks.

About: I truly enjoy the opportunity to care for dogs of all ages and of all types. It’s not just a source of income, but something I truly enjoy. I frequently dog and house sit for family and friends, and look forward to doing the same for you. I currently have open availability to dedicate to taking care of your pups. I am happy to check in on them, take them for walks, make sure they are fed, provide overnight pet sitting (at your home). I had a pup of my own for fourteen years, but don’t have one at the moment. I look forward to the opportunity! I am available to walk, feed, and pet sit at your home. Long walks for exercise, spending time to be sure they are comfortable, whatever is required. I unfortunately do not have boarding at my home as the building I’ve lived in for nearly twenty years is designated a “historical landmark” and pets are prohibited.

“Shannon was a true trooper, bundled my girls up in their snowsuits, took them for a walk, and then got them home and cozy, all while the temperatures actively were dropping. So thankful for Shannon!! ♥️”

About: Grew up around dogs, my family has always had one in our lives. Feel I have a special bond with dogs, big and small, and rarely do I experience coming across a dog that does not warm up to me. Experienced in all forms of taking care of dogs, from walking and feeding, to playing and living with, sitting for family and friends both in their home and ours. I work full time from home but have a lot of flexibility during the day. Early mornings and evenings can be accommodated with simple planning. My family currently has an older female beagle who is sweet as can be, and very lazy. She is not aggressive towards other dogs and is fine being around dogs. We have three little children who are completely accustomed to having dogs present, and love to help with feeding and play time. We live in a small house but could accommodate 1 dog for short stays if need be, preferably small-medium sized (less than 40lbs). We do not have a fenced-in yard but live near a dog park and excellent areas for walking.

“Allie made me so at ease leaving my cat for an extended trip for the first time. They went above and beyond making sure Willow was happy and taken care of. I got so many photos and a great detailed report daily, as well as text updates. I would absolutely book with Allie again, and recommend their services to others!”

Casey S.

“Marissa did a great job watching our two cats. She was helpful and communicative, keeping our cats great company and our home tidy. We'd love to have her sit again!”

About: I have never met an animal I did not love. My mom likes to say that I’ve always loved animals. She remembers me trying to jump out of her arms, before I could even walk, in order to pet a nearby dog. I am a 32 years old and originally from Minnesota. I grew up taking care of a miniature schnauzer named Oreo, who was a wonderful family companion. I had a pet ferret for 6 years named Swarley, who I alone cared for. I have cared for friends and previous roommate’s dogs, fish, cats, rabbits, and rats. I’ve also cared for all kinds of reptiles and amphibians when working at nature centers for 3 years. I have also cared for a neighbors goats and am comfortable around farm animals. I now have a super sweet 8 year old rescue dog named Primrose. If I am lucky enough to get to care for your pet, I will give all of my attention to them and provide the very best care possible. I hope to hear from you soon! I can work around your schedule. Let me know what works best for you! I only need 1 days notice and accept day-of cancellations. I hope we can work together to get your pets what care they need! I am careful to make sure sneaky pets are unable to escape when I come in and out of doors. I always put a leash and collar on any pet before taking them outdoors. I'm used to and meticulous about keeping medications and food out of reach for pets. I am highly engaged with the pets I am watching and observe for any small signs of stress or health issues. I would call you immediately if I noticed something was wrong or off with your pet and I am totally willing to call your veterinarian or take them to an emergency veterinarian, if ever necessary. I can administer medications and make special diets, if requested.

“Amber is wonderful! She was very flexible and accommodating with my busy schedule, and bent over backwards to take care of my fur baby like he was her own.”

“Lillian did a great job taking care of our dog and two cats while we were away! Our dog loves to play ball and Lillian spent a good amount of time each visit making sure she got plenty of exercise. We came home to three happy and well cared for pets. Highly recommended!”

About: S A R A H F. ★★★★★ Hey there! I have been living in VT for about 12 years now. I am an active person & love a reason to get out for an adventure. My family has owned dogs my entire life, so 4 legged friends have always been considered a part of the family! I also started watching the neighborhood dogs at a young age which has given me plenty of experience loving dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and ages. I’ve owned or frequently cared for: Labs, Golden Doodles, Terriers, Great Pyrenees, Dachshunds, Pitbulls, Mutts - and many more! 🐶 I am totally fine with other animals in the house - with a small added fee. I have watched homes with cats, birds, bunnies, etc! I am happy to accommodate in any way I can! Feel free to contact me for details about my schedule or with any questions. 🐾 Sarah I currently work full-time on a hybrid schedule, splitting my time between home and local high schools Monday–Friday. My job has me driving around different parts of the county, which actually makes me flexible and available to support families in the area. I’m used to managing a busy schedule responsibly, and I’ll always make sure your pup’s needs are a top priority. I have a spacious yard surrounded by nature, perfect for fresh air and exploring. While my yard is not fenced, I always keep safety first—dogs are supervised at all times and leashed when needed.

“I went on a ski trip with my family and we needed somebody to look after our dog at the hotel while we skied. I am so happy we found Giuliana who is trustworthy and reliable. Plans ended up changing last minute but she was extremely flexible and understanding. In addition to this she was so sweet to Denali. We came back to a smiling pupper:)”

About: I have been around dogs as long as I can remember. I have been the go-to for friends & family when they are traveling, don’t have time to exercise their pup, or just need someone to check in on their animal(s). I am comfortable giving all types of medications & taking care of any special needs or requests. I have trained both of my dogs from the ground up & it is always a work in progress. I always enjoy meeting your furry family members & love getting to know each & everyone I cross paths with. I work at a local animal hospital (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday & Friday’s as a vet tech), but I do have most Wednesday’s available & some weekends available if planned in advance. I have a large yard and two furry boys to help keep yours feeling comfortable & safe. I have a lot of toys & entertainment, I can also crate your dog if needed.
