“We appreciate Abbey so much! She’s made being away from home so much easier, we know our kitties are in great hands. I would not hesitate to recommend her as she has proven herself to be a 10/10 per friend! She has even made friends with our notoriously shy Maine coon ♥️”
“Alisha did an excellent job watching my cat this past weekend! She was communicative and went out of her way to make sure that my cat got attention and the food she needed. I could tell from the photos that my cat was so happy with the visits. Thank you so much Alisha!”
About: Hi! I’ve been pet sitting and had my own dog for many years. Now, I have experience from drop-in visits to extended overnight stays, with many different types of needs. I’m dedicated to caring for a pet the same way their owner would and look forward to spending time with animals. I work from home most days and can accommodate a flexible potty schedule and activity level. I enjoy taking breaks to spend with pets, to get outside or tuck in on the sofa! I have an enclosed garden and large, unfenced yard. We are well back from the main road so pets are welcome to explore the neighborhood.
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.
“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: 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.
“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.”
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
“Joyce did an amazing and thorough job with our two cats while we were away. She left us detailed notes, took tons of pictures, and made me feel totally confident that our cats were getting plenty of attention (and fresh food and water) while we were out of town!”
“Carl the cat was in great hands with Sheryl!! She sent daily pictures and Carl didn't even seem like he missed me that much when I got home. I would absolutely have Sheryl cat sit again!”
“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: 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!!”
“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”
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.
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: I love animals of all shapes and sizes and am looking forward to meeting your pets! I have experience with large and small dogs, puppies, cats, and small animals. I am quite active and happy to take your dog on an adventure. I am currently available on Fridays for walks and check-ins throughout the day. I am not currently available for pet sitting but I hopefully will be in the near future. When I am with my dog Rossi we walk on-leash when we’re on the road or in busy areas and off-leash when we’re in safe areas. I like to bring treats as a reward for good behavior, especially because she is still a puppy.
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.

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.”

Danielle S.
“The Venn diagram of Dani’s level of responsibility/reliability compared to her love of animals is a circle. You want your pet to be cared for with the same attention to detail and thoroughness as Leslie Knope? Dani is your person. You want your pet to be safe protected at all costs with the fierceness of a secret service agent? Dani is your person. You want your pet to be doted on with the love and adoration of a very present grandparent? Dani is your person. You cannot go wrong here folks. Unrelated to animals but a Testament to her skills and personality: Dani is always my first answer for “who would you want on your zombie apocalypse team”… she’s level headed, common sense, dependable, resilient, medical knowledge, ecological knowledge, a great leader etc etc. If she could confidently take on the zombie apocalypse, this position will literally be a walk in the park. (In terms of actual reference, i have a dog and cat that she has cared for for me for almost a decade) Take my word for it, your pet will be in GREAT hands!”
Andrew C.
“Andrew is the best with my dog Arra! She's always excited when he comes by, especially because he brings her favorite treat: carrots!

Elijah H.
“Elijah took amazing care of our 3 y/o bully fur baby Agape for 2 weeks. He gave him his meds, eyedrops, fed and walked him often and played with him as much as Agape wanted. Oddly enough, Agape accepted Elijah almost instantly (it’s odd because Agape is a rescue) and following Elijah around the house within 2-3 hours. When we return, Agape missed Elijah and was sitting by the door for over 20 mins awaiting his return. Thank you so much Elijah for taking sure great care of our fur baby. You’re apart of his pack now.”
