Pet Sitting in Newport

About: I grew up on a farm in Lowell. We always had plenty of cats and dogs to play with. And I have always loved animals. I have experience with watching dogs regularly for a home with 13 dogs so that has been quite the adventure but I love it. I love to give them treats and play with them and just plain spoil them with attention. The owner was concerned about them taking to a new person but they took right to me. Pets do seem to take to me well. And now I am looking for more furry friends so I hope you will contact me! I work from home and I make my own hours. So I am quite flexible. I can do overnights or day visits or walks. I am in Newport Center village but am willing to go within 20 minutes depending on the job. For overnights on a regular basis I may do about 25 minutes away. If you are in Newport Town, Newport City, North Troy, Troy, Jay, Coventry, Irasburg, and Derby these are all well within my area. Others like Brownington, and Barton and Albany and Derby Line and maybe Craftsbury are possible depending on situation. As far as safety, and trust, I mostly do sitting in the client's home so I will do whatever the client wishes, and make sure the pets are safe.

About: What sets me apart as a pet caregiver is my deep intuition with animals and my commitment to treating every pet as if they were my own. I don’t just walk dogs I build trust, create routines, and tune into each pet’s individual personality, energy level, and comfort needs. Whether it’s calming an anxious pup, entertaining a high energy dog, or caring for senior pets with medical needs, I bring patience, genuine love, and attention to every visit. Pet parents often tell me their animals respond to me instantly and that peace of mind is something I never take for granted. Pet care isn’t just something I do it’s part of my daily lifestyle. As a proud owner of a 6-year-old male beagle, caring for animals is second nature to me. Every morning starts with a structured walk, feeding routine, and a quick health check to make sure my pup starts his day right. Throughout the week, I prioritize time for play, socialization, training reinforcement, and grooming not just for my own dog, but for the pets I care for as well. Whether it’s weekly check-ins with repeat clients or adapting to each pet’s seasonal needs, I plan my schedule around their well being. Year round, I stay up to date on pet safety, behavioral cues, and seasonal health concerns, because I know consistent, thoughtful care makes a real difference. Having a beagle myself, I understand the importance of patience, routine, and enrichment and I bring that same heart and dedication to every animal I care for. When caring for a client’s pet in their home, I prioritize comfort, routine, and trust both for the pet and the owner. During check-ins, I make sure your pet has fresh water, is fed according to your instructions, and gets some love, attention, and playtime tailored to their energy level. For dog walks, I stick to familiar routes unless otherwise requested, always using safe, secure leash handling and staying alert to your pet’s cues and environment. I respect your home just as much as your pet leaving everything clean, locking up properly, and sending timely updates with photos so you know your furry family member is in good hands every step of the way.

About: Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do on the side—it’s what I’ve built real experience in. I’ve worked hands-on with dogs for over three years in professional settings, including daycare, boarding, and off-leash adventures, and my most recent role was at a training facility where I learned how to safely manage dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I also own a dog of my own, so I understand the trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. My goal is always to provide structured, attentive, and genuinely loving care so every dog feels safe, happy, and understood. I am also attending school to become a professional canine trainer. Pet care is my entire life. I have dedicated all 7 days of the week and 365 days of the year towards taking care of others and my own animals. Need last minute boarding due to a family emergency? I’m your girl. Everything else closed when you have work? I’m your girl. Taking a weekend trip but no where is open? I’m. Your. Girl. I am not only here for the convenience of you but also your beloved furry friends My yard is currently not fenced,(fence coming soon!) but I do offer leash training for more enjoyable walking experiences. I do daily walks for all dogs no matter the training level they are at. I have 1 very friendly lab mix who would keep your dog friendly dogs company, and I also offer special care for those special pups who are more people dogs than dog dogs for no additional charge. If your dog is crate trained they will be crated for bedtime (9pm-6am) with overnight potty breaks if your pup requires them as well. I keep all dogs and cats separated. Dogs have the downstairs of the home, and cats have the upstairs. I am comfortable with administering basically any medication except needles, the only needle exception being for diabetic animals.

About: My family has owned dogs ever since I was a baby so it's safe to say I know a good amount about dogs. I love all animals and I love spending time with them I'm currently a full time college student so I will be working around my school schedule. I will also be available during my other breaks throughout the school year. I have had dogs my whole life so while walking I will keep the dog on a leash and if I come to let your dog out I will always watch them when outside if there is a fence or I will take them on a walk so they can go to the bathroom

About: I promise to keep your fur baby safe and happy as can be while you're away. I will provide playtime, walks, cuddles and a lot of attention. I am very interactive and not afraid to be goofy in order to make a genuine connection with your pet. Don't be afraid to leave me detailed instructions- I get it and have fur and feathered babies of my own! I am able to walk up to 2 to 3 big dogs at a time and feel confident in my abilities to give commands and appropriate rewards/disciplines. If your pet(s) gets dirty, I will bathe them as well as clean up any messes that occur. I also will keep your home sweet home neat and tidy so you never come home to a mess. I have grown up with pets and have always owned one or two.. okay, maybe 3 at a time. I make genuine connections with animals (wild ones, too) and would love to give them the opportunity to get outside all season long (even in the winter). If your pet would like an adventure buddy and companion who will distract them from your absence then give me a shout. Feel free to contact me with questions and concerns. I would be more than happy to chat with you!
