Pet Sitting in Northfield

“Abbey is amazing!! She checked in on our kitty every day during a 9 trip, and we felt so at ease knowing she was taking such good care of our home and cat. She had incredible communication while we were away and went above and beyond for our cat. She came ahead of time to meet us, often stayed longer with our kitty than we had booked, sent tons of pics, and even went out to buy litter when it ran out while we were away. I cannot reccomend her highly enough- thank you!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I’ve cared for both energetic puppies and older pets who need a slower pace and extra patience. I’m great at picking up on individual needs—whether that’s sticking to a strict feeding schedule, handling clean-up routines, or giving pets the one-on-one attention they deserve. I am home for the summer from college and free most days, guarantee you my undivided attention to your pets. I will make sure they are taken care of wonderfully. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, clean, and calm space with plenty of love and attention. I follow their routines carefully to keep things familiar and stress-free. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect the space, follow all instructions, and ensure their pet feels secure and cared for. Clear communication and gentle, attentive care help build trust every step of the way.

“Kadyona was dependable and easy to communicate with. She took care of my two cats over five visits. My cats enjoyed having someone to spend time with them and give attention and playtime.”

About: Hi, I’m Miranda! I’ve been caring for pets for 15+ years, whether that’s dogs, cats, rabbits… even a bearded dragon or two. I share my home with a very clever Aussie (Pippin!) and a small cat queen named Eleanor. I have experience working with reactive dogs, senior pets, and administering medication to cats and dogs. Whether your buddy needs eye drops, pills, or just a slow, structured routine, I’m patient, calm, and happy to help. 🌱 I use force-free, reward-based methods (in conjunction with clicker training, if desired). I move at your dog’s pace whether we’re building confidence with a new puppy, burning off energy on a weekend hike, or keeping things lowkey for a mellow senior. I believe in meeting each animal with gentleness, curiosity, and a sense of humor because let’s be honest… pets are weird and wonderful, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. 😌 I offer: - Dog walks on evenings, or all day Sat-Mon - Dog boarding in my home on weekends 🏠 - Weekend hiking adventures for dogs who love to move 🌲 - Pet sitting for cats 💕 Whether your pet is anxious, high-energy, or just needs someone who respects their routine (and quirks!), I’m here for them and for you! ✨ Big dogs, small cats, and everything in between. I work in an office 4 days a week, so am available in the evenings + nights Tuesday-Friday for walks, drop in pet sitting, and anything else I can help with. My weekends, Friday night through Monday night, are open for hanging out with pet pals— whether that looks like a half hour walk around the neighborhood, a long hike nearby, pet sitting for cats, or boarding at my place for dogs. In my home: Dogs staying at my home get lots of attention, supervised outdoor time, and a cozy environment. I have a large yard (unfenced, so we use 50ft long lines to ensure security + freedom), go on multiple walks a day (with or without my dog Pippin), and sometimes go on weekend hikes if your dog is cool with car rides or if specifically requested. I keep a consistent routine, offer safe enrichment activities, and always prioritize your dog’s comfort and well-being. In your home: When caring for cats (or other pets) in your home, I respect your space and routines. I keep things tailored to your pet’s needs, whether that’s playtime, medication, or just some chill companionship. I’ll always communicate clearly and provide regular updates so you can relax knowing they’re safe and cared for. 💕

About: I've been taking care of pets (cats, dogs, and rabbits) my entire life. One of my career highlights was working at the Philadelphia Zoo. Granted, I was working as a puppeteer, but I love being around animals every day. I currently have two beloved cats of my own, and I'm excited to meet your pets! I'm also a freelance puppeteer and writer - so when I'm between projects I have a very flexible schedule and will be happy to take care of your pets! I pride myself on being good with animals, love winning them over, and am a very empathic person. While I love a friendly creature, I'm also good at giving animals space if they're shy around new people, etc.

“Alisha took amazing care of our two cats while we were away for vacation. Our cats are sometimes shy and timid, Alisha had they out of hiding and playing on day one! Great communication and very friendly. Will book again!”

About: Hi there! I’m an elementary school teacher looking for a fun summer gig. I would love to walk your dog or check in on your cat while you’re away. Proud owner of 2 chihuahuas, but have previously owned big dogs too. Thanks for considering! I have lots of availability this summer being on summer break! I could give your dog a walk, or check in your cat. Mornings, afternoons, or evenings! I would defer to you as to what safety looks like (harness, leash, collar, etc). My two dogs have name tag collars, and leashes. I have walked dogs with harnesses as well. Sometimes I need a little instruction as to how to put it on (some designs are tricky!), but in the end I always figure it out!

“Stephanie did a marvelous job taking care of my very senior (19 yo) cat in my home while I was gone. She came twice a day to feed her, clean up, give medication, brush, pet and hug her. She texted me pictures and updates at every visit. Peaches looked better when I got back than she did when I left! I highly recommend Stephanie as a very dependable and caring petsitter.”

“We could not have asked for a better cat sitter for our two girls! Rory answered our last minute request for cat care after our usual sitter fell through, then took the time and dedication to drop in and visit them twice a day. Not only did she see to their basic needs, she went above and beyond to play with them to ensure they were not bored or lonely while we were away. Not to mention the adorable and sometime hilarious pictures she sent everyday! I would recommend Rory to anyone looking for a pet sitter. 11/10! 😊”

About: I grew up with pets and have always felt that they complete a home! I’m here to help care for your pets so you can travel worry-free. I work full time but can be remote or take breaks midday to check on pets. I don’t have children so there is a lot of flexibility in my evenings as well! I can provide overnight stays for up to seven nights consecutively. I have done housesitting occasionally for years and have no problem helping your pets adjust to your absence.

About: Animals are children to me. Grew up with many dogs/cats & birds! Offer great at home visits to exercise, play & feed your pets! Strong, driven individual that can handle multiple large dogs at a time. Also have trained many puppies through my youth and adult life, so can handle the little ones too! Respectful to clients and pets alike, understanding the value and security of your home and neighborhood. Will always walk dogs until they poop and pee; will pet and play with them during walks and visits. Please do not hesitate to ask questions or request supplemental services. You will not regret picking me as your animals caretaker!! I am working part time with a flexible schedule, so boarding your dog takes priority. I wake up early each morning and retire around 9p I have many trails in the back of our property, with hills and fields to run in. Dogs are given all the love I can muster in the home and out on walks or hikes! Very safe environment for your dog

About: I’ve been dog sitting since I was about 11 years old — it started with neighbors, family friends, and anyone who needed a hand, and it quickly became something I truly love. Being around dogs has always come naturally to me. I’m patient, calm, playful, and super intuitive with animals, especially dogs of all kinds. I treat every dog like they’re my own, and I make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while their people are away. Over the years, I’ve built real trust with the people I’ve worked with. They know their dogs are in good hands with me — whether it’s for a quick walk or a whole weekend. I’ve looked after energetic puppies, shy rescues, older dogs needing meds, and everything in between. This isn’t just something I do — it’s something I genuinely care about. I currently go to barber school from 8:30-5 on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. If you need a little check in or letting your dog out after that on those days I would definitely do that! Other than that I am open 6-11pm on every other day unless I have something else going on. If you ever need to know just always reach out if needed! I live in an apartment complex but I usually let me dogs free inside and if they need it I usually bring them to the dog park to get all that playfulness out. I am very attentive so your dog will never be left alone! I have 2 dogs medium size and one likes to relax while the other loves to play but she knows her limits, if the other dog does not like it she does stop.

About: When I was growing up my family always had dogs and cats. After I went off to college I adopted a cat named Louie from the local shelter. He just passed away recently at the age of 19. I am missing having a cat around and would love to look after your cat when you’re away. I also have two dogs (I have a senior shepherd mix and a 1.5 year old lab mix). My dogs are my priority so I can’t commit to overnights but with my days free this summer I am available for dog walking, house sitting and cat sitting. I work full-time during the school year but I have the summers off with plenty of free time to spend cuddling with some cats. I’d love to do dog sitting as well but am not sure I can commit to overnights as I have my own two dogs at home who need me but I’m open for daily support such as walks or feeding during the owners’ work hours. My dogs use a long lead out back and aren’t left unsupervised for long. When my cat was alive he had his own separate space away from the dogs as well as easier access to food, water and litter as he was arthritic.

“Liilian really went above and beyond to make sure that our cats were cared for, played with, and safe while we were away and we're so thankful for that peace of mind knowing that they were in such good hands. Thank you!!”

“Bella and Cameron are such diligent and responsible cat sitters! They sent very cute updates and photos while we were out of town, about all the activities they were doing with our cat. We will definitely be booking with them again!”

About: Hello, I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and turtles. For the past four years, I’ve mostly been house-sitting/taking care of a good neighbor/friend turtle who I love dearly. I’ve put her to bed and cleaned her cage, along with feeding her while sitting with her for 3+ hours most days. I’ve learned to care for pets as if they are my own and love all animals. :)) Pet care is a vital and seamless part of my daily and weekly routine. Over the past four years, I have taken care of dogs, cats, and especially a neighbor's turtle, who I have grown to love dearly. Each day, I ensure that she is fed and her cage is cleaned, and I spend over three hours sitting with her, ensuring she feels loved and cared for. This routine has taught me to care for pets as if they were my own and deepened my love for all animals. Incorporating pet care into my schedule is crucial to me. I ensure my pet is happy and healthy, from morning walks to evening snuggles. Every activity, whether feeding, brushing, or playing, is an opportunity to deepen our bond and show my pets the love and attention they deserve. Balancing pet care with my other responsibilities, such as my involvement in ROTC at Norwich University for the past three years, has honed my discipline and time management skills. In addition to my ROTC commitments this summer, I am taking summer courses and have lacrosse practices. Despite these busy schedules, I always ensure that pet care remains integral to my routine, reflecting my dedication to their well-being. As a dedicated pet caregiver/Owner, my approach to pet care is tailored to the pet's needs and the environment. I prioritize creating a safe and nurturing space in my own home or while providing services for clients. This includes regular feeding schedules, enriching activities such as walks or playtime, administering medications if needed, and maintaining cleanliness through regular grooming and sanitation practices. Additionally, I strive to provide ample affection and attention to ensure each pet feels valued and loved, whether under my roof or in the comfort of a client's home.

About: Hi there, my name is Logan. I am 28 years old, originally from Morrisville, Vermont. Ever since I was a child, I have had endless love for animals of every kind. I feel deeply connected to them- they truly are man’s best friend. I am very genuine, honest, and reliable. I will always be respectful of your time, belongings, and of course, furry friend(s). Whether your companion needs a few potty break, a walk, or an overnight stay, please rest assured they are in good hands. If my services interest you, please feel free to reach out. I look forward to meeting you and your best pal! Currently, I am in between jobs, so I have plenty of free time during the full 7 day week to accommodate whatever needs you may have. My household consists of my 7 month old son, our amazingly gentle and friendly 4 year old American Bully, Chuck, and our 8 year old fat, lazy cat, Clyde.
