“Carlea was amazing!! She was always communicative but also low key. I felt confident the dogs were getting their needs met (and my dogs are my children.. so they’re a little extra needy). I appreciated all the pics and comments Carlea sent. She was very available to help. I just can’t say enough great things about her!”



“Nicole is on time an cares very much for our dog she is attentive to her needs an plays with her to get her energy out . She pays attention to details an secret loves her . We highly recommend her .”


“I am a repeat customer of Heather’s and she’s great! I have an elderly dog that she walks twice weekly for me, and Heather is super attentive, responsive, and reliable. She gives detailed updates, and Holyfield loves her! I have only had great experiences with Heather, 10/10 would recommend”


“Aurore was excellent showed on time was so friendly to oir pooch treated her like a queen gave her plenty of yard time an made sure she was xomfortable before she left . She is gonna be our dog watcher for the future .”


“We originally asked Caroline if she could walk and feed our two dogs as we were planning to a long day trip. However, we woke up to find our oldest dog not doing very well. It turned out that he had cancer and that we would have to put him down. It was a long agonizing day trying of running tests and considering options before finally deciding that the most humane treatment would be to euthanize. Through all this, we are thankful to Caroline who took care of our remaining fur children--a dog and a cat. It was a great relief to not have to think or worry about them so we could focus on our oldest dog in his time of need.”

“Takes care of my precious dog...”


About: Hi there! I’m Fawn, a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes. Growing up, I was the go-to pet sitter for my neighbors, where I looked after a variety of pets, giving them plenty of playtime, exercise, and, of course, cuddles! I’ve been lucky enough to share my life with both big and small dogs, including gentle giants like English and Bull Mastiffs, Rottweilers, and Pit Bulls, as well as smaller pals like Beagles and Chihuahuas. I understand that every pet has their own personality, energy level, and routine, and I’m dedicated to tailoring my care to meet each animal’s unique needs. At home, I’m a pet parent to two wonderful cats and a dog, so I know firsthand how important it is to find a reliable, loving caretaker. I offer flexible pet care services tailored to your needs, including house sitting, drop-in visits, or walks depending on location. With very open availability, I would be thrilled to care for your furry friend! Whether they need a brisk walk, a cozy snuggle, or some good playtime, I’m here to make sure they’re happy, healthy, and safe. Pet care is my passion, and I’m excited to fill my days with extra furry friends. Caring for pets is a fulfilling way for me to unwind and do something I love while helping pet owners like you. I’m based near Barre, MA, and frequently travel to Brattleboro, VT, allowing me to offer services across a wide area and provide flexible care for pets in both locations. My main focus is keeping your fur baby safe and happy! I will follow any and all instructions you leave for your animal. I’m very communicative and super reliable. I work full-time as a pet sitter, allowing me to carefully plan my schedule to ensure I have plenty of time to give each pet the attention they deserve. Pet care is my primary focus, and I love being able to provide quality care during mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I genuinely love spending time with animals, so whether it’s walks, playtime, or simply companionship, I’m excited to fill my days with extra furry friends. Caring for pets is not just a job for me — it’s a true passion. It gives me the opportunity to unwind, do what I love, and support my personal goals.

About: I’ve taken care of many pets in my home as well as their homes. I’ve had experience in giving dogs medication and taking care of older dogs. I’m currently working as a self employed contractor, making my own schedule. I’ll have plenty of time for your lovely furry family! My main focus is to help those who need it, human or animal. I’ve cared for animals in their own homes before, making sure I know the layout and daily routine of the pets lives to ensure they feel safe and loved. Keeping the furry friend in an environment they already know often helps them feel more comfortable with the new sitter.

About: I have loved and been taking care of dogs for as long as I can remember. Dogs are my life and I hope to be able to share my experiences with dogs with others. I am certified in Veterinary Technician Assistance and am working on my dog training certification and will be working toward a career in canine behavior. I have experience with all kinds of dogs with all kinds of personalities. I can't wait to meet and help care for your fur babies. I am currently a stay at home wife and mother looking to work with dogs. I am familiar with the daily care of a variety of animals. I trust all dogs as if they were my own. As an avid dog lover they are my life and I strive to provide each dog with the proper care and love they deserve. I have some basic training in canine first aid and a basic knowledge of canine CPR.

About: I have had a dog since I was born. My dog and I grew up together, learning together. Saying that I’ve had my fair share of experience being with pets. I have always had the responsibility to learn how to take care of them and their needs and we can’t forget having fun with toys and walks. Recently my dog sadly passed away and I would love nothing more being pets again. I currently work night shift during the week. So I’ll be available during the day after 7 am for playtime and walks and making sure they are fed and whatever they may need. I also have the weekends off Unfortunately I do not have a fenced in yard but I do have lots of grass for them to run around in and live in a quiet neighborhood perfect for walks. Since I’m used to having two dogs in the home, I can accommodate most specific needs.

About: I have had a passion for taking care of animals since a young age. I have experience with all types of animals. I worked as a doggy daycare attendant and a veterinary assistant. I currently work at an animal shelter. I'm currently working 2 part time jobs. Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays availability with the possibility of Mondays. I'm available for dog walking, trips to the dog park and pet sitting. We do have a backyard which is not fenced in and a porch that I usually block off to let my dogs get outside for some fresh air.

About: I have casually cared for pets (neighbors, family members, etc.) for years. Growing up, I had dogs and cats. Now, I have 2 cats, a bird (a cockatiel), a rabbit, and a hamster. I also have experience working on farms (chickens, goats, sheep, alpacas, llamas, & horses). Right now, I have a few families that I pet-sit for and I would love to add more families/households to my usual few. I am an elementary school teacher, so during the summer my hours are very, very flexible. During the school year (minus school vacations) I am working 8-3:30 at school. I am also a youth swim coach and work 4-6:30 on Tuesdays and Thursdays only. I am able to make quick stops to let animals out in between school and swim team, though. I am unable to host animals in my home because I already have so many animals here and it wouldn't be fair to them. I am able to housesit (stay in homes to keep your animals company when I am not at work) and I am also able to drop in to check on them/feed them/walk them/give them love. My check in system is usually once in the morning between 7 & 8, stop by right after school at 3:30 (after letting animals out & walking them, this is when I would give dinner) and then come again right before bedtime to let animals out again. This is a schedule that works for me, but if you have different needs I am happy to meet them, so please ask.

About: I have had dogs in my life since I was born and currently have 3 dogs. I’ve owned all different kinds of breeds and taken care of more. I know how to handle multiple dogs at a time and I am an active person who will go above and beyond to take care of your pet. Pets have been a big part of my life since I was born. I am currently working part time as I am currently student so I have a lot of time on my hands this summer. Your pet will feel at home and comfortable. I will make sure their schedule stays the same and they are fed and walked at the time given.

About: I have been dog sitting and housesitting for the past five years. I have a lot of experience in senior animals as well as animals with special needs. I am very reliable, respectful, and understanding when it comes to housesitting and pet sitting. I have a lot of experience and will always try to accommodate you and your animals the best that I possibly can! I am currently looking for colleges as a graduate of a dual enrollment program! I graduated in 2022 with a high school diploma along with an associate’s degree in undecided! I have a total open schedule when it comes to pet sitting! I will always make it my number one priority to make sure your animals feel safe and comfortable with me. Being away from owners can be stressful enough, that’s why I always make sure they are happy and comfortable while missing you! Any rules you ask of me to follow, will be followed! I am very understanding and very open to just about anything. :)

About: I’ve always felt a strong connection to animals, so as a teenager a started my journey into taking care of them. I have years of experience doing pet sitting, drop-ins, dog walking and boarding, I worked at a dog kennel for 2 years which furthered my knowledge in this profession. I’ve volunteered at shelters. I did 4H with animal care being my main focus. I am currently enrolled at QC Career school earning my dog training/ grooming certificates. I’m a full time pet sitter/dog walker. I’m a stay at home, I have two children 8 and 10 years old. Being at home everyday allows me to be there for your pet throughout their entire stay. I can do drop-ins/walks Mon-Fri and can do any day of the week for over night boarding and daycare. Taking care of animals is my passion and what I do best. My home is set perfectly to accommodate multiple animals. I have separate rooms/areas of the house I can block off to make any type of situation work. My yard is over two acres with a couple of fenced in areas for the dogs. I also have a long runner that allows the dogs to roam around the entire yard. I am with the pets at all time, I will always have eyes on them.I have crates inside but rarely use them unless needed for my dog so our furry guests get top priority. It is so important to me that your pets are comfortable and happy.

About: I worked in an exotic vet hospital for 7 years which is also a wildlife rehab facility. Prior to that I have raised and cared for animals of all species of my own my whole life. Whether fury, feather, scales, or more I love just about every living being & critter. I will care for your pets like they were my own. *Making a note that poisonous/venomous or illegal animals are not acceptable or allowed. I have experience with reptiles like geckos, bearded dragons like my own, iguanas, turtles, birds of all shapes, color, and sizes, some farm animals, ferrets, guinea pigs, hamsters, rabbits, and things of the like. Animals that are venomous or harmful are excluded.* I care for and hang out with my fur babies, but there's plenty of room and time for more friendly faces. I work hard so my pets can have a good life. 😂 I frequently walk my dogs and can take yours around the neighborhood as well, lots of dog toys, pats and belly rubs, and can crate your pup if needed. Im also willing to help with some trainings and house breaking if requested.

About: I have grown up with dogs and when adopting our most recent pup, Jax, I quickly realized he was a pup that required more than just a couple walks a day, so we got into running together daily. I offer dog running or walking and look forward to meeting your fur babe(s)! I am currently available Mondays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays for dog walks, runs and drop-in visits and pet sitting Saturday thru Monday. I currently have limited availability Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays but would be happy to discuss scheduling with you! I am very reliable and I will provide water and treats as needed. I will show up regardless of snow or inclement weather. We can customize walks or runs based on your preference of on vs off leash.
