“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: 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 always lived in a pet-household. Friends continuously ask me to take care of their pets. I can walk, feed, clean litter, play with, and whatever other needs your pet may have. I work in a school setting, so I am typically free most weekends, all weekend long. I work until about 4:30 weekday, but would be free afterwards to care for pets if needed. I have two cats of my own, and I treat other people’s pets how I would want mine to be taken care of. I have no problem cleaning up pet messes that can occur in the home.

“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.”


“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: I grew up with litters of German Shepherd puppies which sparked my lifelong love of animals. As adult, I raised and bred Labrador Retrievers. I now share my home with five cats, two Labs and six chickens. I'm also a proud grandparent to two wonderful grandchildren. Retired and living in Vermont. I'm recently retired and spending my time doing what I love most. Beling arond animals. I enjoy going on walks, playing and simply keeping pets company. If you ever need a little help with your furry friend whether it's a walk, some playtime, or just a visit while you're out. I can take them to the dog parks or to the waling paths.

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!

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 free most weekdays after 3pm and open on weekends. I can 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.

About: I’m a lifelong cat owner and appreciator, and have brought dogs into my life in the last 5 years (but adored friends dogs all the while)—I’ve owned two husky’s and got a crash course in dog attitudes and needs with their specific personalities. Flexible schedule—I work remotely and can generally adjust as needed to your pets care needs. Let’s work something out! With notice most schedules are possible. I follow needs and instructions to a T and offer kind and compassionate and confident care. I want pet and owner to feel happy and safe.

“Holly was exceptional. I have an 18-year-old cat who requires 4-5 meds twice a day on a pretty strict schedule. So it is definitely stressful to leave town sometimes. Holly was communicative, thorough and ensured my baby was well taken care of. I fully trusted her and it gave me incredible peace of mind when I was away. I absolutely will be booking with her again and would recommend her to anyone who needs pet care.”


“Lillian is marvelous. our kitty came to us during COVID isolation, so has not had the chance to meet many folks. Lillian's kind patience melted through his shyness and we were able to enjoy our time away without worry.”


About: i recently moved to the area from new york and i’m looking for something fun to do for work. i absolutely love animals. they’re so intelligent and fun and loving. i would love to take care of animals on a daily basis. i am a caring and loving person and have always had quite the love for animals. i have always had dogs and cats in my home growing up. with that being said, i wouldn’t mind walking dogs, stopping by to play or feed animals, staying for hours with them, or just frequently seeing them. i have been trying to find jobs around the area and nothing has really spoken to me. i found that people need dog sitters and i thought it would be a good idea to try and get out there and meet people and have fun with animals all day

“I was really nervous about leaving my 18 year old cat with someone else but Ariel put me completely at ease. She was so kind and caring with my cat and completely comfortable administering medication and following special feeding instructions. She also sent me great pictures of my pet each day and was very communicative about how things were going. When I arrived home my cat was content and well cared for. I would highly recommend her for any pet care situation. Thank you Ariel”


“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!”

“Izzy took great care of our cats and sent lots of pictures!”


Miranda H.
“Miranda is a wonder! She has great energy and our full-sized wheatendoodle has never been so engaged with another person. Miranda not only took him on long walks at parks and on trails, she made the walks challenging and interesting. Finn loves their time together and Miranda was so good at communicating with us and connecting with Finn that we asked her to keep him during our last vacation. Game changer. She followed our instructions about his eating schedule, gave him plenty of exercise, and kept us updated throughout our holiday. Finnigan is high energy and constantly challenging authority. He is a lot for most people…even his daycare folks, so it was refreshing to see Miranda with our sweet fur baby. Her calm authority and mindfulness with Finn makes leaving him with her one of our best decisions. He gets extra socialization and exercise when I have to work on weekends and I don’t feel bad because I know he’s with Miranda. I can’t recommend her enough!”


Haley S.
“Haley watched my cat Sophie and for a few days while I was out of town and couldn't have asked for a better sitter! She kept me up to date with photos and videos, and my skittish cat even warmed up to her by the end of my trip! Would highly recommend her!!”

Janice C.
“Janice has always been the most amazing with her dogs. Everyone in town who had received a dog from Janice we call them “Janice dogs” because they’re all so well behaved. She started training them from day one and they have the best manner because they’re so well cared for. I would not only consider getting another dog from Janice, but I would also trust her 100% with the care of my pet.”


Claire G.
“As an elementary schoolteacher, Claire has the patience of a saint. She demonstrates that same kindness and generosity in her interactions with her dogs and ours. Our dog is not always quick to warm up to people but he is great with Claire! He sits on her lap and happily lets her harness and walk him. Our dog is our “baby” and Claire treats him with the same love and care. She is a wonderful person and I can’t recommend her highly enough.”


Carlyan V.
“I had the pleasure of having Carlyan care for my cat, Toby, while I was away, and I couldn’t be more grateful for her help. Toby can be a bit shy and particular, but Carlyan was incredibly gentle and caring with him from the start. She took the time to make sure he felt safe, comfortable, and loved, and I could tell he was in good hands throughout the entire time I was gone. Carlyan communicated with me regularly, kept me updated, and followed all of Toby’s care instructions perfectly. Her calm and attentive nature made all the difference. I would confidently recommend her pet sitting services to anyone looking for a responsible, kind, and reliable caregiver. I’ll absolutely be calling on her again! – Jess R.”


Sylvia R.
“Sylvia is a natural with any animal. Her gentle demeanor is comforting to even the most nervous pets.Communication is quick and clear and she takes the best photos. Would highly recommend her for your fur babies!”


Lauren C.
