Cat Sitting in Montpelier

“When Kobi was having a hard time while we were on vacation Brody was kind enough to let us book additional visits on a very short notice and Kobi was thrilled to have some more attention and pets from Brody.”

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.

“My cats adored her! My oldest cat is easily distressed and anxious at her old age and she was completely comfortable with Danielle. My younger cat clearly enjoyed her visits as well. I could easily tell their state from Danielle’s consistent photos and messages from her visits. It was the first time I returned home and my cats were not distressed from my time away. Danielle’s gentle, thoughtful, and clear communication made me feel relieved while away. I Highly recommend her and will absolutely use her again in the future.”

“Miranda was wonderful! She took on our cats very last minute and they warmed to her far more than most. Her calm presence really helped our skittish babies feel safe. Her photo updates captured their quirks well and I was assured by both her competence and kindness that they would be well cared for!”

Zoe C.

“Sarah was fantastic. She was available on short notice and did a great job of taking care of my cats and communicating with me about her visits. Thank you so much, Sarah!”

About: Need me to jog around the block with your blonde lab Molly? Play in the sand or snow with your doodle dog? Tug of war with your tank named Hank? Referee a Dutch Shepherd & the neighborhood cats? I’m the Doug ya need. From an 85 pound Dutch Shepherd named Phillip J Fry to a 10-pound tuxedo cat named for the Egyptian Dog God Anubis, I’ve had my share of furkids to spoil, train, & love on. If you want someone to go the extra mile, who’s willing to get on the floor for hardcore play time, someone who’ll have fun with your pets & send you too many photos of ‘em, that’s me. :) When not caring for a client's pup or kitty (or pig, chicken or bunny!!), I'm often found jogging around the Vermont State House grounds with Pokemon Go in one hand & a Chocolate Poodle in another. Leaving a place cleaner than when I got there is a rule of thumb whether that means picking up litter with my old mother in law while walking our old Dutch Shepherd or when in my client’s home. It’s a lot to trust someone in your space. When they’re staying over or using the kitchen, that’s even more the case. While we pet lovers are all good people, some of us are better at following “good home training” rules of thumb than others! I make sure to read the instructions, screenshot & photograph them so I have them handy to look back at with questions & I will always communicate if there is anything I need to know that’s not listed.

“Colby is always amazing and one of willows favorite people!”

Sarah P.

“Karin was great with my cat and dog! Prompt communication and very reliable, would highly recommend.”

“Holly is fantastic! Sh's dependable with a tangible connection to animals. My dog is always happy to see her and I feel safe knowing that my dog is in great hands!”

About: I am a very experienced pet owner in Montpelier - I have owned and loved alpacas, dogs, goats, cats, and backyard birds of all kinds. I have also done foster care of kittens and cats for CVHS. I'm available to provide a fun and loving spot to board your dogs. They will get attention, care, walks, and playtime with my 3 dogs and part time cat. I have 2 crates if needed, gates to section rooms off, can be one level if mobility is an issue, am willing to administer meds and have no problem with puppies or senior pets. I am home all afternoon and evening and weekends and dogs get a lunchtime walk as well. I am home ALL summer. I am available for boarding all of the time, but only showed weekends because that’s when I am home all day and evening. During the week dogs would still get a morning and lunchtime walk and care all afternoon and evening. I will send updates and photos throughout your dogs time with us - I am also available to pick up and drop off dogs for an additional fee. I am happy to do full day care to allow folks to go skiing or shopping or on full day outings as well.! I work in Montpelier until 3:00 pm so pets get exercise in the afternoons and weekends, and dogs get a lunchtime walk as well. I am around all of the time on weekends and all school breaks and all summer. Our house has many dog beds, crates, toys and treats. We live on many acres and dogs can be on or off leash, depending on needs. I also take dogs to local trails to walk and socialize.

“Lillian did a great job! Our dog can be skittish with strangers, but Lillian was able to make friends with her and quickly gain her trust. We came home to a house full of happy fur-babies!”

About: When I was growing up my family always had dogs and cats. I have two dogs of my own (I have a senior shepherd mix and a 1.5 year old lab mix) as well as a cat. I work with middle school students during the school year and would love to spend my summer taking care of animals. My dogs are my priority so I can’t commit to overnights but with my days free this summer I would love to do some dog walking, house sitting and cat sitting. I work full-time during the school year but I have the summers off with plenty of free time to spend cuddling with some cats. I’d love to do dog sitting as well but am not sure I can commit to overnights as I have my own two dogs at home who need me but I’m open for daily support such as walks or feeding during the owners’ work hours. My dogs use a long lead out back and aren’t left unsupervised for long. When my cat was alive he had his own separate space away from the dogs as well as easier access to food, water and litter as he was arthritic.

“Ali was great, sent photos and updates with each visit and was great to work with on booking, will book with her again!”
