House Sitting in North Pownal

“We asked Deborah to watch our dog in a situation where communication with us was very difficult. She did very well with this challenge. Our dog did well under her care.”

“Michelle is the best! I have had her house & pet sit for me numerous times. She is always reliable and communicates quickly. It's nice that I can travel knowing that my Paisley is well taken care of!”

“Kate was a wonderful dog and house sitter! Our two dogs were better off then when we left as Kate did some training with them. They took lots of walks and seemed very happy and healthy. The house was great as well.”

“We are so thrilled to have Evelyn sit with Smily while we were away. Evelyn ensured that we were well informed of the goings on with our dog and home, and even went above and beyond (the house was cleaner than we left it, I'm sure. We could tell that Smily was happy and loved! We highly recommend, and look forward to booking again.”

About: Hi there! I’m Net.🙂 I’m the go-to gal of my friends and family for watching their four-legged kid - and I love that reputation. I’m here to help ease those worries of last-minute changes to your everyday itinerary or lessen stress when being cross-country on travel - I get that because being there has done the same! And what is more of a bonus for me to make another pal? Seems like a win-win situation if you ask me. For as long as I can remember, I have always been fascinated and compassionate when it comes to animals. They have always been one of my favorite things in this world. Growing up with birds, rabbits, cats, dogs, you name it - really helped that love grow and helped me to also learn how to be responsible, coordinate time management and even how to properly take care of them along the way at a young age. Fast-forward - I took the next step to wanting to know and learn more about them. So I signed myself up back in 2017 and took an online course to more knowledge and become a vet assistant where I later on finished my hours at a local vet hospital. I was taught valuable skills, such as patience in the field, restraint techniques, administering medication and the importance of detail, etc. I even have some background in doggy daycare! What can I say? I can’t get enough of these little guys. Learning everything from grooming and bathing techniques, to animal behavior of personalities and the ability to understand each animal’s needs and anxieties. Don’t forget the play! I’ll even put on a good jam for us too and break out in a dance party. Putting more experience under my belt in something that fills my soul and cup. I always say when you enjoy something you love it first, and it’s a job second. Hopefully, I’ll have the opportunity and chance to meet your dog, too! 🐶🤍 I’m currently working early in the morning, so I have a lot of downtime to take care of and hang out with your little one(s). Monday through Saturday, I’m free after 12:30pm and all day Sundays. Occasionally, I could have an extra day off during the middle of the week. Just shoot me a message! I will be more than happy to accommodate what I can. I have a whole pack at home myself. Did I mention that? Yup! Five in total to be exact. Ranging from all different breeds, the oldest is almost 13 and the youngest just turned 1. So keeping them occupied is definitely something we have adjusted and accommodated to. We have a whole fenced-in yard, a toy box that can't fit much left, walks are a very essential part of our daily life and activity, and we tend to rotate our pack in groups from going to breweries/wineries, to hikes and even events such as dog parks, farmers market and whatever else events tend to be happening at the time. If this is something you're interested in acclimating and a small dose over time, happy to bring them along with! Of course, the occasional cupcakes and cookies I make for my kids at home. Let me know if they have any allergies and I will be happy to bring a small bag over when I stop by! 🙂

About: I grew up always having a dog. I know how special they can be and the attention they deserve. I'm always happy to help pups get the best care possible. I have many free days to devote to pets. I am available on short notice and always happy to help out to make things easier on your animals. I have experience with dogs that roam the house as well as crate training. I also know how to handle an invisible fence versus a solid one as well as leads.

“Leah was great watching our dog Duchess! She was very responsive and kept us informed on how she was doing. Would definitely book Leah again!”

About: I have two golden doodles who mean the world to me, but aside from my own pets i have made sure to surround myself with animals my whole life so far (I'm 27 currently) i grew up helping out friends and neighboors with animal care. to me pets are not just pets they are family. I love being outdoors going for walks myself so I take a great deal of pride being able to help someone with the joy in their life and incorporating it into what I already love to do. I currently work full time monday-Thursday with friday, saturday,and sunday off. I will be available any of those three days off for any service someone is requesting, and I am open to commuting aswell. I have two golden doodles who I treat them same as my closest and dearest friends/family. It would be no different with anyone else. One of my biggest beliefs is that respect and kindness speaks for itself and goes a long way so im very geared towards the needs, wants, requirements ect... that a client has or is requesting.

“Bella was great with my 75lb Poodle mix and two cats. Great communication. Showed up on time. Listened to and followed instructions. Most importantly, my dog and cats liked her. Will jot hesitate to use her as a pet sitter again.”

About: I’ve interned at my local vet clinic for two years now and have recently moved to a paid position as an assistant! through this internship i have not only learned substantial knowledge regarding pet care, such as how to most effectively administer medications, but also discovered my love for pet sitting, as i have become one of the veterinarian’s permanent pet sitter! i also plan to go to vet school after i earn my bachelors degree! i am currently working various part time jobs, so i will need at least two weeks notice for a majority of the services i provide. i will try my best to arrange my schedule for your convenience! i’ll treat your furry family like my own! i come with treats ready (with permission of course) and never leave without a game of fetch or whatever else your babies might enjoy! they’ll definitely be the highlight of my day, so i’ll try to be there’s too!

“Gracelyn took great care of our pets! She even watered plants for us and stayed an extra night when our flights home were cancelled. The house was just as we left it when we got home. I definitely recommend her!”

Rebecca G.

“She's wonderful!!”

“Kahlan took such great care of my home and my special needs dog. She even dried some laundry I left in the wash by mistake and left the house immaculate. My pup loved her immediately. She is an excellent communicator and sent pics of my dog daily. She is very trustworthy. I will definitely be hiring her again.”

About: For five years I have been pet sitting for coworkers, family, and friends. I have cared for small to large dogs, some lazy and many very high energy! I love being able to play with the pets to get their energy out and give them a good petting afterwards. Generally, I am available both ends of the day and most weekends. My full time job is flexible for the most part and can create my schedule to accommodate different gigs. I primarily have experience with overnight pet sitting at the client’s house. I am comfortable with both rural and more city environments. Privacy is important for me, so I will always respect the client’s privacy of their home. If uncomfortable with overnight stays, I will gladly travel to the client’s house in the morning and evenings to care for their pets.

“Jessie was absolutely amazing! She was quick to reply to us and made the whole process stress free! She was on time for our meet and greet and is the nicest! Our dogs absolutely loved her! She sent us some great photos of our dogs! We never had to worry, our dogs were in great hands! I highly recommend her for anyone who is looking for a great dog sitter!!”

About: I have always cared for, loved & owned dogs for as long as I can remember. I love to walk so why not combine two loves into one lovely hobby! I live close to the Ashuwillticook Trail and the Greylock Glen where we will have great fun. Can’t wait to meet your special pup & make him/her the happiest hound in town. Whatever it takes I aim to please & pamper your PAWSOME pet! ❤️ 🐶😺 ❤️ I've always cared for, loved & owned cats as well. I would love to meet your special friend & build the fondest feline memories. As for all those small critters, I have experience with many different kinds including fish, hamsters, gerbils, parakeets, ferrets, rabbits and more. Volunteered at Animal Dreams shelter for a series of weeks through a service learning program at MCLA. I work part time as a nurse & ski instructor in the winter. I would love to help out with all of your pet care needs. I'm dependable & ready, snow, sleet, wind, rain or shine with references available upon request. I'm looking forward to hearing from you soon to set up a meet & greet with you & your main squeeze 😍 My schedule is moderately flexible. I would love to become a full time Rover girl in the future. I love all animals. I believe they are vulnerable creatures and most rely on humans to care for & protect them. If you are without a vehicle or your work schedule is super rigid I can pick up or drop off your fur-ever-luv if needed. I would love to help out anyway that I can. I own two dog friendly cats & I will look after your pet as if she/he were my own. I will do everything I can to make it the safest, most comfortable and memorable experience for your special pet.

About: ive had a couple of dog growing up in my childhood a sweet old black lab and a super crazy dingo.. in my free time after school and during summer i used to walk them, no amount of walking could satisfy my dingo.. id have her pull my bike to get all her energy out since we didnt have any closed in areas she could run off in.. ( i dont do this anymore! i realize its not very safe! she absolutely loved it for sure though) i love pups big and small old and energetic theyre all very unique and id love some new friends to get me out of the house. id ask you beforehand of course if youd be okay with them swimming, theres a pond i can bring them to after walking to cool off at. our backyard is fenced! i have two cats, so id like to know how your dog reacts around small creatures, if they cant be in contact i can always but them into a room while the dog is over. most likely theyd be outside! lots of shade and id keep em well hydrated and happy :3 i currently have been on a job hunt since what feels like forever, my schedule is very. very open.. since i dont have a car, drop off would be ideal, if your close enough to walk to i can do that too! weekends are the only time id be able to pick up your pooch my cats get their waters filled and cleaned almost daily, lots of love of course and are very spoiled. i dont have any dogs at the moment, so of course id love to chat about what youd expect and need for your lovely pup! im good with communication and friendly, special needs id be extra attentive to. im very good at remembering small things, though id still write em down incase!
