“Tess is always amazing. She saved us with a last minute booking (on a holiday!) and took amazing care of our elderly special needs cats with lots of medications, and lots of love. We love when we can get Tess to take care of our girls, it’s total peace of mind every time.”

“Brooke was fantastic with our dogs, Roux and Jelly Bean\! We were away for nearly a week, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such caring and capable hands. She took great care of them, handled Jelly Bean’s medications without any issues, and kept us updated throughout our trip. We came home to two happy, healthy, and well-cared-for dogs, and our house was just as we left it. Brooke is dependable, kind, and clearly loves animals. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”

About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 10 years old, and was known as the “neighborhood” sitter. This required responsibility managing time from a young age and helping care for cats, dogs, rodents, and even horses! I would be happy to provide services before work early in the morning, on my lunch break, or in the evening. On the weekends I am mostly around and willing to help care for your pets! I have a shy rescue dog, and so I’m very aware that dogs can read energy. My goal is to never frighten or shock a dog, and from the beginning interactions I will do my best to have a calm and welcoming demeanor to keep your pets happy!

About: S A R A H F. ★★★★★ Hey there! I have been living in VT for about 12 years now. I am an active person & love a reason to get out for an adventure. My family has owned dogs my entire life, so 4 legged friends have always been considered a part of the family! I also started watching the neighborhood dogs at a young age which has given me plenty of experience loving dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and ages. I’ve owned or frequently cared for: Labs, Golden Doodles, Terriers, Great Pyrenees, Dachshunds, Pitbulls, Mutts - and many more! 🐶 I am totally fine with other animals in the house - with a small added fee. I have watched homes with cats, birds, bunnies, etc! I am happy to accommodate in any way I can! Feel free to contact me for details about my schedule or with any questions. 🐾 Sarah I currently work full-time on a hybrid schedule, splitting my time between home and local high schools Monday–Friday. My job has me driving around different parts of the county, which actually makes me flexible and available to support families in each area. I’m used to managing a busy schedule responsibly, and I’ll always make sure your pup’s needs are a top priority. I have a spacious yard surrounded by nature, perfect for fresh air and exploring. While my yard is not fenced, I always keep safety first—dogs are supervised at all times and leashed when needed.

About: I've been around dogs since I was a child, and I see them as part of the family. I got my first dog when I was eleven, but our house grew and grew with multiple dogs, and I currently help care for my family's six dogs. In addition, my parents and I have fostered dogs together, which gave me hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, breeds, and backgrounds, including those who needed extra patience, structure, and reassurance while adjusting to new environments. I have years of experience dog sitting for family, friends, and neighbors, including overnight stays, feeding routines, walks, playtime, and giving my full affection and attention. Through fostering, I learned how to read dog behavior, help dogs feel safe in unfamiliar situations, and learned to support basic routines and transitions. What sets me apart is how attentive I am to learning each pet's individual needs. I will always take the time to learn their routines, levels of energy, and their own personalities so they can feel safe, comfortable, and loved by me while their owners are away. I'm currently a part-time student, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be very present and attentive to the pets I'm caring for. I'm able to plan my days around feedings, walks, playtime, and check-ins, so your pets will receive consistent care throughout the day. My top priorities are always to create a safe, trusting environment and to ensure a comfortable atmosphere. I make sure all pets feel secure, calm, and loved. I carefully follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, and house rules to maintain consistency as needed and possible. In a client's home, I treat the space with respect and keep everything clean and organized. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure, and I'm very mindful of my surroundings during walks. I also take the time to get to know each pet's personality so I know how to respond appropriately to their needs and comfort levels. Communication is key, so I always provide regular updates, photos, and messages to give pet parents peace of mind. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where all pets feel comfortable and cared for, and each owner feels confident they've left their pets in good hands.

“Bailey was kind enough to come on Christmas as a pretty last minute request! Did a drop-in and everything went smoothly! Looking forward to having Bailey help out again.”

About: I worked at an animal shelter for 3 years caring for animals of all ages providing all levels of medical assistance or care that was needed. I’ve fostered sick or orphaned kittens and administered medications and nursed them back to health. I was an intern for a Humane Officer investigating cases of neglect or cruelty, I have a deep passion and love for helping animals! I work full time from 8-4, but I can stop by in the mornings and spend the evenings there if need be! I can also have pretty flexible availability on weekends! I will directly follow your needs or instructions on how you want your animal taken care of! I offer a lot of affection and attention and will make sure to socialize with them and treat them like my own!

I love going to the dog park and can sense when a dog is under stress or does not want to be in a certain situation I’m available every other week as I work in a pharmacy on my on weeks.

About: I have had dogs my whole life and have taken care of a variety of dogs since I was young, including puppies and senior dogs. I also have raised goats and chickens for years. I have a large fenced in yard for plenty of outdoor playtime and access to acres of wooded trails outside my backyard. I love hiking with dogs as well as playing outside. I treat each dog like a member of my family when they stay with me ensuring they are comfortable, loved, and getting their needs met. I look forward to getting to know your dog. I am available for boarding on the weekends and will customize the care to fit the need of your dog and take the lead from the owner. I have a fully fenced in yard for dogs to safely run around. I follow clear expectations provided by the owner and individualize care to the needs of each dog ensuring they are safe, happy, and comfortable.

“Thanks so much for taking care of our baby boy!”

About: I have experience working with dogs of all ages, l’m comfortable administering medications—I definitely have a soft spot for dogs with special needs! I have three dogs of my own and always travel with my smallest one, Meera, a 9lb chi mix who is very quiet and well behaved. I work at a doggie daycare four days a week so Friday through Sunday I’d be out of the house for about 8 hours a day. I am the lucky mama of three sweet rescue dogs named Jelly Bean, Frankie, and Meera. They are highly socialized due to the nature of my work and they join me for house sitting and pet care. A typical day includes frequent potty breaks/play sessions outside followed by low-energy training and relaxation, inside or out (weather dependent).
