House Sitting in North Pomfret

About: Hi my name is Sean. I recently graduated from RIT with a BFA in illustration. I love all animals and currently have a lot of flexibility to care for your pets while I am working from home. I grew up with two labradoodles and I have also cared for friends' animals while they have been away. One of my dogs has Addison's disease, so I am familiar with giving medication to pets. Spending time with animals brings me joy and does not seem like work - I enjoy playing with your animals, going on walks and I give a great belly rub! I am extremely responsible and will love your animals like my own...you might also find some sketches of your pet when you return home. I am an artist that is currently working from home in Quechee. I am extremely flexible and am available during the week and on weekends. I make my own hours so can work around your schedule. I live with my parents and two friendly labradoodles ages 8 and 12. I could board a dog in my home if he/she gets along well with other dogs and is house-trained. I prefer to care for your animals in your own home: I can do drop-in visits, walks and daytime or overnight house-sitting.

“Suzanna treated my 2 boys as if they were her own. You could tell from the minute she met them that she is a natural borne animal lover. I have already booked her again :)”

About: I’ve taken care of animals for as long as I can remember. I’ve never had a formal job with animals, but I’ve grown up around them and have helped with a myriad of different roles for friends, family, neighbors, etc. I have never met a dog or cat that I don’t love! I work full-time in Hanover from Monday through Friday. However, I am more than happy to fit in care before or after the work day. I am also available on weekends! My schedule is as follows: Monday: 9:30 am - 5:30 pm Tuesday: 8:30 am - 4:30/5:00 pm Wednesday: 7:30 am - 3:30 pm Thursday: 8:30 am - 4:30/5:00 pm Friday: 8:30 am - 4:30/5:00 pm I am a very thoughtful, caring, and detail-oriented person. I intend on listening to my clients’ desires and doing everything in my power to make sure the pet(s) receive everything they need!

About: I have several years of experience caring for cats, dogs, birds, and snakes. Skills include elderly and disabled care for cats and dogs, grooming, playing, transportation, and some training. I currently work part-time and have a flexible schedule, so I have lots of time to care for your pets! I can do overnight care on weekends, drop-off after 1pm Friday - Sunday. I have a fenced-in pen in my backyard with a dog and a bird. I have treats and shareable dog/cat toys. I tend to spend lots of time outside with dogs. I tend to meet cats where they’re at, using toys and treats for the shy ones.

“Evelyn arrived on time to start sitting for my pup. We especially appreciated having her at our home when our smoke detector unfortunately went off!”

“James is an awesome dog and house sitter! He took the dogs on great walks and sent us some adorable pictures while we were away. We came home to two happy, calm pups and a clean, orderly house. Highly recommend!”

“Kaya was great! Really appreciated her sitting Charlie whole I was at a two day conference! Would definitely have her sit again!”

About: My mother is a veterinarian with her own practice, so I grew up around an abundance of animals and know plenty about caring for them. My career allows me to choose my own schedule, I don't usually have shifts longer than 5/6 hours long. This allows me to take dogs out for walks or to a dog park, or I can just go home and hang out with my cat. I have a large fenced in yard with access to woods, plenty of local trails for dog walks, local lake if your dog likes to swim. Dogs and cats in my home, but there's a good sized guest bedroom that is kept closed off from the rest of my home if you have a pet that is less friendly with others.

“Gloria was amazing! She took great care of my pup and exercised him really well. I'd love to have her house sit for me again!”

“Ronan was an excellent communicator. From start to finish this was a smooth & pleasant experience. Odin (our dog) was in good spirits when we picked him up. He played well with Ronan's family dog, and must have had a calm and enjoyable overnight in their home, because he was calm and happy upon returning home. Thank you, Ronan!”

“Cyan is an incredible dog sitter. She immediately won the heart of our little pup, and was so loving with him. Cyan is a great communicator and is amazingly intuitive about the needs of pets and humans alike!”

“Allaire was wonderful! Communicative and easy to work with. Her beautiful dog Baloo met our boys (1 dog & 1 cat) before the stay and everyone got along beautifully! I'd highly recommend Allaire and can't wait to have her stay with our boys again.”

About: I have had a dog for alot of my life and have also been counted on to watch family pets over the years. I love dogs and cats, they just bring so much joy to my day I currently work 730-4 and can walk during lunch or before and after work. I can also stay at your home if that works well. I am happy to be flexible to help your pet with their needs! I am more than happy to hang out with your pet in home and take for long walks as o love to be active! I’m super flexible - whatever is best for your pet!

“Julia watched my two dogs & two cats for a night. She communicated well, left the house clean, and we came home to our happy healthy animals. We'll use Julia again!”

Aurora B.

“We highly recommend Nicole. We had the absolute best experience with her and would 100% book her again. She has SO much dog knowledge and experience, and she knew just what to do to care for our 17.5 year-old geriatric Miniature Dachshund. Our dog was completely comfortable and happy with her, and she brought out the absolute best in our dog with both a stroller and regular walk. I can't rave enough about how happy we were with Nicole.”

About: I have always had multiple pets, dogs and cats. I currently have a black lab named bear and a black cat named Rosie. I also have house and babysat for a number of families. I love hanging out with animals and am known to be super attentive and responsible. I work part time in the summer and often either work a morning or night shift, not typically all day and have time to play with your pups! (Or cats) I will be sure to spend ample time with your dogs outside either within a fenced area or on a leash and will make sure your house and pup are left the same way I found them.

“We needed to find a house/dog sitter for the weekend due to an unexpected situation and Kim was great. She responded quickly and was able to meet me and the pups same day. She was personable and I felt very comfortable leaving her to watch my home and pups. She was very communicative through the weekend, sent lots of pictures, and even left us a sweet welcome home gift and note. 10/10 would recommend and use again.”

About: Dogs bring such joy! I believe they are gifts and we are lucky to have them in our lives. We currently have a spoiled Australian Shepherd. I have learned so much as an Aussie mom, and love sharing helpful info with other dog parents, especially if they have a herding breed. I love all dogs, no exceptions! They deserve to be spoiled and appreciated for who they are. I offer pet care in your home, where your pet is most comfortable. I also have my own pet care insurance. I work full time in the upper valley and have a flexible schedule that allows me to work from home several days a week. If you have WiFi, I’m happy to work from your home to accommodate full-time snuggles and care for your pet while you’re away! I believe that dogs are part of the family. I love spending time with them, walking with them and helping them to socialize. They are gifts!

“Olivia is amazing, took great care of our pets and provided updates and pictures while we were away. We would not hesitate to have her provide care for our animals again!”

“Sue took great care of Rocky while we were away. He's an old cat and he worries a lot when we're gone, but he looked happy and relaxed when we returned. The house looked great too! I'll definitely book Sue again.”
