House Sitting in Mount Tabor

“This is the first time we’ve gone away since rescuing our two dogs. Mark was great with the boys and he took wonderful care of them. We will absolutely use Mark again and this means we trust him implicitly.”

“Lucian took great care of our dog. He was communicative and sent photos, did everything as requested and left our home as he found it. Would recommend for any pet sitting needs.”

“Hannah is the best when it comes to taking care of my favorite thing in the world. She follows all guidelines and as a pet parent, we have some outlandish requests such as not too many treats, and a walk that's at least 30 minutes. Hannah was always on time and went the extra mile to make sure things went smoothly. The cold never bothered her and she would take the time to meet your pet before the first outing. She understands the body languages of animals, and my dog suffered from separation anxiety as well as not loving other dogs. Hannah would continue the training I was using and made sure to provide a quality experience for all. I would trust Hannah with my dog's life and know that she is in the best hands.”

“Colleen was great! Very communicative, took excellent care of our old doggo, and was neat as a pin. No hesitation about asking her to come back.”

“Cassie was awesome! She stayed at the house for a 9 day vacation we had planned and our sitter fell thru. The pups are generally scared of everything and everyone, but they warmed right up to her. The house was left in perfect condition. We will definitely be using Cassie again!”

About: My family grew up with dogs and cats; the animals are treated as family. Pet sitting (and baby sitting) were part of the routine from early on. My Consulting work is done remotely, which makes my schedule flexible for Rover assignments, and, additionally leaves ample Time for getting out on the trails with tails. I enjoy being out-of-doors, and hope that some time outside is part of your furriends’ daily care plan. I believe in sticking to the schedule that clients have established with their animals for meals, toileting, play time and quiet rest.

“Tim was great. We booked a 5 hour whale watch tour and needed someone to walk/ take care of our dog in Bar Harbor while we were out. He works for the company to was able to help check us in and then take care of our dog for the day. We very much appreciated his willingness to help us!”

“Dominique is by far the best choice in my book for a dog sitter. She’s helped us on several occasions, the last one for a period of 4 weeks while we traveled over seas. I recommend her services without reservations.”

About: I was born an animal lover, starting with my love for horses I grew to fall in love with every creature I come in contact with. I've worked on farms from the age of 10 so I could get horse back riding lessons. Then worked my way to full time groom at a performance horse stable at the age of 16. At the age of 17 I started working as a part time kennel attendant at a veterinary hospital and moving up to a technician assistant, then vet tech. I have also been a full time pet groomer for 7 years. Helping to run a fantastic grooming salon that specializes in cats and medical/behavior issued animals that has strengthened my abilities and attention to details in caring for pets of all types and sizes! My daily schedule is currently wide open while i make my dream come true of building my very own grooming salon here in the mountains of Vermont. I have a fenced yard that your pups are free to roam in while being attended. They will also have the ability to play or socialize with my 3 dogs as long as they get along! If I stay at your home I will stick to any routine you have with your pets and treat them as my own. I am very active and love a good walk or hike in the woods.

About: 1.Introduction 2.Description of home 3. Brief overview of experience 4. Policies Hi, I'm Mary! 14 years ago, My pup Lee and I started the business of walking city streets, running, swimming, hiking, boarding friends, and house sitting; all in the name of dog! Since his passing, my twin four year olds and I are looking forward to making new pupper friends. We live in a beautiful home on an organic farm. This year marks the 14th year and third state in which I've tended to puppies, dogs and senior puppers. Since moving to Vermont 8 years ago, my home has been referred to as "farm camp." This is because: pups who are able to enjoy the farm experience off leash! While I enjoy tending to the greater dog population in its entirety, senior dogs, ones who take medications, those living with physical and developmental ailments and pups nearing end of life are my specialty. While the latest DSM may not have nature deficit disorder printed on its pages, I know it effects not only people but more importantly, dogs! I value and understand that exercise specifically in the wilderness provides a focused energy released followed by contentment. Starting in Providence, R.I., Lee and I took off walking city dogs. Over time, I curated two hiking packs of dogs. All off leash, good recall and, worked together navigating trails with minimal tiffs. Between my city walkers and packs, I began boarding. While I had my regulars, I wanted to offer support in other ways. Middle of the night emergency visits, families dealing with unforeseen events and parents who needed a break even though, their pup was nearing end of life. I've waited with dogs to board planes and have been at the airport to pick them up. Arranging wedding arrivals/departures and transport to/from vets. On several occasions, I've had the honor of being there for a pup's end of life. Since this is a new space for your pup, it's important that we stick to your in home structure as much as possible. This allows them to feel more comfortable and stress free. This means I will ask for a list of usual commands, eating times, toys, blankets and beds. If your pup has any quirks, I like to know! The more information, the better! When scheduling pick up and drop off times: if you're going to be late please kindly send a text update. I am extremely flexible with times! Not communicating information is a big issue and can lead to scheduling conflicts. For every 45 minutes that you're late and lack communication you will be charged an additional $10. My rate for overnight stays are based on a 24 hour period. If your drop off to pick up time goes over the 24 hour period, I charge a prorated amount to match the time difference. If your drop off to pick up time is less then 24 hours, it is a flat rate of $40. Thanks for reading and I look forward to speaking with you. I recently sold one of my businesses to focus on an endeavor I'm more passionate about, free Lance writing. I'm also enrolled in school first time. I only take senior, free range puppers. While your dog will NEVER be out of my sight, I only allow free rangers. If you have any concerns about your dogs recall, we are not the right family for you.

“Jackie was incredible with our frenchie!!! Milli was so happy every day to see her and spend time together. They formed a close bond after a short time :)”

“It's clear Amelia has a genuine love for all animals. She shows a calm caring nature while with them, and brings an impressive sense of responsibility for their needs and health. All of this, as well as showing great respect for your four-legged family member. If you want a loving pet caregiver, I would highly recommend Amelia for pet sitting.”

“Morgan was everything we were looking and more! Kind, courteous, and clearly an animal lover at heart! We have two large, crazy dogs and she was confident yet gentle with them from the moment they greeted her at the door. Our 16 year old cat who doesn’t come out for many people warmed up to her quickly too. We wouldn't hesitate to have her come stay with our animals again!!”

“I cannot say enough good things about Justine! Our dog (Harper) has anxiety when we are gone overnight and has resorted to chewing our woodwork when we’ve had other pet sitters in the past. We went away for 10 days, our longest vacation to date and used Justine. Not only was she very responsible and took amazing care of our house, Harper was extremely happy and calm the entire time. When we returned home, she almost seemed disappointed, lol. She was our happy go lucky girl with no signs of anxiety. I highly recommend Justine. You couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter she was great with communication and very reliable. I’ve used her since that trip for smaller weekend trips and we were just as satisfied with her care.”

“Bambi was so easy to work with. The pups and kitten were in such amazing spirits when we returned, and the house was even cleaner than we left it! She was very responsive, and even took a trip to the house before the stay to meet the gang, and get to know the place. Highly recommend.”

“It is so wonderful to be able to trust someone like Nate with your fur babies and home. Nate stayed for 4 nights and four days to give round-the-clock cat care to my two cats. One was recovering from surgery and he took meticulous care of her, giving her medicine and love while I was away. He sent frequent pictures and was very tender and sweet with them. I highly recommend him and will be hiring him again ASAP.”

“Cristina is everything you would ever want in a caregiver for your pet. Not only is she kind and loving but she has a tremendous amount of knowledge of dogs' behaviors and needs gleaned from her own study, from participation in classes taught by renowned trainers and from years of hands on experience with her own dogs. You can be 100% confident that she will be reliable and will go to great lengths to provide exceptional service.”
