“Toshya was amazing with our cats, she really took the time to care for each one of them and make sure everyone was fed, loved, and got treats! I don't think our trip away could have been in better hands.”


“Erin is kind and professional, and a great listener and communicator. She was prompt and my dogs absolutely loved her, including my anxious dog who is not quick to trust. Erin made sure to ask questions about their care which I highly appreciated.”


“Aliza is a warm and friendly sitter who was able to look after our two kitties on relatively short notice. She had some great ideas for how to handle feeding time based on their personalities and food-related behavior. She was also easy to work with. Will hire again!”


“Jen did a wonderful job with my Kitties! They had a good time with her and she accommodated a last minute request. I would definitely recommend Jen to anyone looking for petcare. You can tell she is caring and enjoys taking care of furbabies :)”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and breeds, from playful puppies to sweet seniors. As a collegiate athlete, I’ve built strong habits in time management, responsibility, and discipline which are all skills I bring to pet care. I’m a lifelong dog person and know that earning a dog’s trust takes patience, consistency, and a lot of love. I understand that every dog is different, from their personality to their diet, and I’m happy to make sure each one has a full belly and feels completely at ease. I also have experience with “bully” breeds and a special place in my heart for them. I know how incredible they can be when given the care and respect they deserve. Most importantly, I want every owner to feel at ease knowing their dog is safe, loved, and well cared for while they’re away. As a college athlete, my schedule can fluctuate, but I am local so I'm able to work with you and your family on what works best! While in college, I have many extended breaks from school, around the same time many families go on vacation, so a lot of my free time will be able to be devoted to your pet! I have two dogs and a cat of my own at home, unfortunately one of my pups isn't too happy with making friends with others, so all pet-sitting would be based in your pets home. However, this can be great as it doesn't cause any more increased stress for your pet while you're away. Whether visiting or staying at your home, I will do my best to leave your space better than you left it! If not staying over, I am open to making frequent stops in to check up on your pets and making sure they are feeling loved and comfortable while their favorite humans are away. I always have my phone on me and I am able to send updates about your pets, along with photos of them throughout my time with them!

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life, so I understand that they need lots of love and care. I love animals and I think it’s very important for dogs to get exercise, so it is important that they get as much time as possible walking and going to parks. Playing with dogs is apart of their well-being and yours! I think that dogs and cats make people much happier and because of that it is our job to keep them happy and healthy. This means feeding them, playing with them, petting them, and watching out for them. I have volunteered at two animal shelters in the past, worked for a company called Bark, and have dog and cat sit for friends before. I am kind and responsible and would love to spend time with your animals. I am available every day/night except Saturdays. I work late on Saturdays but could still come in the morning, and can still go by in the evenings as long as your animal doesn’t have a super specific set meal time at night. I will be respectful of your belongings and your space. I will make sure their water is always full, and to follow your instructions on the best way to care for them.

About: I work in healthcare and provide emotional support with trained dogs. I grew up on a farm with extensive exposure to all animals. Animals are my happy place! I am very flexible, and easy to work with. I can be available at any time of the day. I’m here to follow your schedule! I have a certified emotional support dog who is wonderful with all animals. He doesn’t bark, he is very quiet and peaceful! He would love for your animal to visit.

About: Hi there! I’ve spent 5 years taking care of cats and dogs and had many of my own. I’ve trained my own dog and have lots of experience being attentive and responsible around animals. I am a freelance musician and art administrator. I make my own schedule, so I am very flexible and allows me to have extra time to care for pets. My home in Montpelier is dog friendly and safe and it is often the hang-out spot for many of our dog friends. I am very happy to provide a safe environment for dogs to be. I am also happy to do in-house visits, or overnight stays at your home for your pets while you are away.

About: I have a deep love for animals, especially cats and giant dogs! What sets me apart is my genuine passion for giving each pet the care and attention they deserve. Whether it's playing with a playful kitten or taking care of a huge dog, I adapt to their needs. I'm comfortable handling all sizes, from tiny cats to big breeds, and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I work part time at Moonburger, usually on weekends, and I’m done with class by 2 PM during the week. This gives me plenty of free time to take care of your pets, whether it's during the day or in the evenings. I have a flexible schedule and can easily accommodate your pet’s needs! When caring for pets in your home, I make sure to create a safe and comfortable environment for them. I follow your pet's routine closely, keeping things as familiar and stress free as possible. I ensure they have plenty of playtime, attention, and affection, while also sticking to any special care instructions you provide. I take extra care to keep your home tidy and safe, making sure your pets feel relaxed and secure while you're away.

“Katie did a drop in for our dog Olivia while we spend the day in NYC. She also came by for a quick meet and greet in advance to meet Olivia. Katie let us know she was on her way, sent a photo when she was there and a pic and status of the check in afterwards. Olivia and I highly recommend Katie!”



About: I have been taking care of cats and dogs since I was a kid. I rescued one of my first kittens with a neighborhood friend when I was 5. As I got older, I would help take care of my brother’s girlfriend’s dogs by walking and feeding them. Whenever I would visit, my brother’s girlfriend would bring me with her and have me watch as she trained dogs since she was a dog trainer. During the time when I was 14, I was asked by my friend to take care of her dog in vermont for a day at a camp while she was at her sister’s wedding. I made sure this puppy got frequent shade, water, attention, I played with him and we took walks together! I have taken care of little dogs to big dogs but I am more comfortable with dog sitting small-medium sized dogs as I have been supervised only with big dogs. I’m currently in prep courses to obtain my GED, so I am free most of the time to take care of your fur babies! I am in classes during 6pm to 8:30pm on Tuesdays to Thursdays. When I take care of my client’s pets in their home, I make sure that they are well fed by asking my client their preferred feeding times. I will walk their dog or give the pet attention by playing or giving affection. If my client’s pet is a cat, I’ll make sure their litter box is cleaned. I always ask what preferences the client may have for their pet. I do well when information is written down so that I can remember what needs to be done to make sure your fur baby is well taken care of.
