Cat Sitting in Richford

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was little, all of whom ranged from Great Danes to dachshunds. I’ve worked with older dogs all the way to puppies and have had my fair share of messes to clean up afterwards. No matter their age they are all puppies in my eyes. I work full-time as a Behavioral Interventionist in Chittenden County and my hours on the Job are: Monday-Wednesday 7:50-3:00, Thursday-Friday 7:50-4:20. Weekends are very flexible. I follow the care instructions given by the owners to the letter. If there are certain rules in place, I will ask the owner about what to expect from those rules. When there is a walkthrough before owner leaves, I like to make sure if there is any medication that the pups may need to take. I make sure to clean their water bowls out daily, and feed them the amount of food that the owner permits me to feed them. If the pups are allowed treats I will undoubtedly spoil them. If there is an emergency I ask for their vet’s phone number in case the pup needs to be taken. This is not my home and these are not my pups, therefore I will follow what the owner wants for their animals.

About: I have feeding, walking, playing and poop cleaning experience. I have been around small and large, young and old dogs most of my life. I know all are different in their needs but they all need love and I can provide that. I have no other job so I have all the time needed for your pet. I'm available days, nights, weekends and emergency care available. I haven't had a pet not like me yet. I can follow any routine already set in place. I can give extra time and love to any animal. I will not take the care of your member of the family lightly.

“Eliza is a wonderful, loving caregiver. She prioritizes the dogs in her care and treats them as if they are her own. She is active and able to tire out even the most energetic dogs! Your dogs will love her!”

“I'm sure this review will only touch the tip of the iceberg, but I'm hoping it will be enough to convince you all that Jessica is your person! Firstly, I want to mention that my male cat Mr. T likes NO ONE!!! So I was terrified about using Rover and a sitter that I didn't know! Jessica met with me prior to my booking so that I could get to know her and feel more comfortable! I headed out on my trip, with worry about my boy, to receive pictures of him LOVING ALL OVER JESSICA!!!! I couldn't believe it! He had a new best friend and I knew that they would be okay which made my vacation much smoother. She sent amazing pics of them and was on time for the schedule slots and ensured they had food and fresh water! When she couldn't immediately see Princess Diana, she went and found her and made sure she was okay as well!!! Secondly, which was above and beyond! After returning so late from my trip I had been in a little haze and sleepy. I locked myself out of the house and Jessica had my spare key to save me! I must add that it was 10p and I reached out on a whim! Talk about someone who is trustworthy and responsive. (But please don't lock yourself out and bother her at 10p!) Basically, we all love Jessica and I'm a customer for life! Thank you Jessica for putting me at ease!”

“Absolutely spectacular and highly recommend. We are so thankful to have found her! So caring and warm. Mahalo to samantha from us and our furbabies.”

“Jordin did a great job with my cat! I love that she sent me photos each time she visited my house so I knew that my cat was being well taken care of.”

“I could not recommend Jaime more! She was absolutely lovely and very compassionate with both of my dogs. She dealt with road closures and a few hiccups with the flooding/bad storms we had in Vermont during the week of her sitting but was very communicative and helpful throughout the week. I had never left my dogs with anyone but family/close friends prior to having her dog sit and will most definitely be hiring her again. You can tell she truly loves animals and cares about them.”

“It was great having Sarah watch our dog, he really seemed to enjoy her visits! She was incredibly accommodating and kind. We've already passed her contact info to friends looking for dog sitters!”

“Mary and Noe took great care of my senior feline while I was away, and I will not hesitate to book them again. They were reliable, conscientious, and very easy to work with.”

About: I’m a dog owner myself. I have been around many dogs for the past 6 years. I’m caring and I adapt to your dog needs. I’m currently a student, mostly at home. I’m hiking daily and Jack’s always come along on the mountain, we can bring your dog too and have dog’s date. I have a fenced backyard and I have a second crate if it’s needed for your dog. My home is a very dog friendly place.

“Amélie est super attentionnée et excellente avec vos animaux ! Mon chat la adore :)- je la recommande fortement!”

“I left my dog Ako and my rabbit Hopi in Rachel's care at my home in the Basque Country and never had a doubt that they were in great hands. I love the connection that Ako and Rachel have - they enjoyed their walks and play time. I would recommend using Rachel as a pet and housesitter as she takes care of your loved ones as they are her own. Several times she helped me out last minute when I realized I would not be home in time to walk him or feed them. Not having to worry or think twice about what was going on at home was a great relief. Thanks again, Rachel!”

“Maria was great dog sitting our new puppy! She was flexible and on time, and provided updates throughout. She clearly loves dogs and our puppy clearly had fun!”

“Super helpful despite a last minute change and chaotic situation!”

About: My parents bred our labs a couple of times when I was a kid, so puppies and dogs have always been in my life. In college I bought my own puppy and had her for a wonderful almost 10 years. She was my best friend and I talked to her and kissed her all of the time. She made me feel happy when my days were gray. Since then I’ve dog sat for multiple families and borrow my friends’ dogs to go for walks and adventures since I no longer have a pup of my own. I work three 12 hour shifts a week so I would love to spend my free days with dogs. I’ve watched my friends dogs even on work days because I work 7a-7 p so I can be there for breakfast and dinner. Most of the time I’ve stayed in their homes so that the dog feels most comfortable. I have no other pets in my home and your pup will get all the belly rubs and scratching they need. I love to go for walks and be active with the dogs (of course only if they’re capable)

“Simba fell in love with Ilia immediately!!! So happy !”

“Sam is amazing. I instantly trusted her with all my animals and she took really good care of my dog. She did twice a day visits as well as house sat and she’s worth every penny. She even sent me pics because she knew I would enjoy updates.”

“Alexis took care of our 2 cats while we were out of town. My husband and I were nervous leaving our kitties with someone we didn't know. However, Alexis was very communicative with my husband and me. She sent many photos and texts about how our cats were doing. We also spoke to Alexis on the phone during our absence from the cats. Additionally, Alexis is a Veterinary Technician. The kitties seemed just fine when we returned from our trip.”
