House Sitting Rutland

“Brooklyn is great with our fur babies! She goes the extra mile every time she takes care of our animals. She’s the best! Very reliable and trustworthy!”

Erin F.

“Great experience overall! He was responsive, easy to communicate with, and very nice to meet. Our home was well taken care of and left clean, and the pets were happy when we returned. Would definitely consider booking again.”

Molly E.

“Casey was very sweet and polite. She took excellent care of all my boys. She kept in touch and sent pictures. I would definitely hire her again!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and caring for pets is second nature to me. Over the years I’ve cared for dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, a rabbit, turtles, snakes, and fish. I currently have two dogs, a cat, and a snake that I’ve raised and cared for daily—my snake has been with me for 15 years, my dogs for about 8 years, and my cat for the past year. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets, and I bring patience, attentiveness, and genuine love to every animal I meet. Whether it’s energetic puppies, senior pets, or more unique companions, always providing patient, reliable, and loving care. I’m currently between jobs, which gives me lots of flexibility and free time to dedicate to caring for pets. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, and I can adjust easily to your schedule. This allows me to give your pets plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship without feeling rushed. I care for pets in their own home so they can stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I always follow your instructions carefully, whether it’s feeding, walking, administering medication, or just giving extra love and playtime. Safety and trust are my top priorities, and I’ll treat your pets with the same patience and care I give my own.

“Hannah was great. She sent lots of pictures and videos which we loved cuz we missed our fur babies. Keeping in touch and knowing everything was good made our trip so much more enjoyable. Will definitely use her again!”

“It is honestly hard to put into words how great an experience I had with Lois without sounding hyperbolic. She was a perfect guardian of my home, my kitties, and my anxious heart. I'd never left my kitties for even a night, and I'd never used a sitting service but was offered the chance to visit my son in the Netherlands for 3 weeks and I couldn't pass it up. I just needed to feel at peace with how I left things at home. Lois was wonderful. She came over early for a meet and greet, and it was immediately obvious she is a kind, intelligent, and gentle person. I have two cats from a horrible hoarding situation who have taken years to feel safe, and they both took to her immediately! My stray, who came to me barely weaned, took a while but even he came around (he is scared of the cars going by the house). She took notes! (Something I always wished people I trained at work would do) Lois and I chatted a bit fairly frequently via a chat app, and she always sent what she called "proof of life" pictures, all of which were so dear. (One was of the kitties waking her up one morning. Such a typical thing in my home, and its normalcy was what made it great. That, and someone just waking up having the presence of mind to grab their phone and record this little domestic scene!) In our chats, just by the way she talked about my kitties it was VERY clear she'd quickly picked up on their personalities, quirks, and needs. The very language she used talking about how they were doing made it obvious she was talking about my kitties, and not just generic kitty language. And she left my home cleaner than I left it for her. While this is not the highest bar (lol) it was so nice to come home after 3 weeks, and an entire day of travel, to a clean, sweet smelling home with clean sheets on the bed! And a bowl of grapes on the counter to snack on (yes, I mentioned grapes and string cheese in our meet and greet. She listened!) I enjoyed Lois. I enjoyed our chats over and above talking about the kitties. She was clearly comfortable and cared about guardianship of my odd, quirky little house. Coming home I would not have known someone stayed here except that my cats were just as happy, fat, and sassy as they were when I left. I would recommend Lois without reservation. I feel like I have added a person in my life that I know I can count on if I need her, and if I ever need someone to care for my kitties it is really nice to know she is there. The comfort and peace she offered while I was on my magical adventure with my son was priceless. Thank you Lois!”

About: I have three very special “puppies” that mean the absolute world to me. I grew up with dogs my entire life but it was 8 years ago I got my very own and since moving out I decided one just wasn’t enough!! Although I have my own babies I have fostered in order to help homeless pets find their furever homes. With raising my own dogs and fostering I have plenty of training and administering medication experience. Pick up and drop off can be arranged depending on location, I have a Honda Pilot to fit the whole herd. Although most of this info is for dog owners, I provide almost all the same services for kitty’s! We have a large privacy fenced yard that the pups are welcome to play in. There are times we like to go on walks at parks or on hiking trails and would love to include your pet if you’re comfortable. I work part time. I will be providing services on days where your pet would only be left alone for a maximum of 4-6 hours, if at all. I provide care for your babies in my home or yours! In my house your pup will usually have free range, we have plenty of gates to accommodate a comfortable environment if our pups make yours nervous from being rowdy. I can also provide a crate for your pup if necessary for sleeping arrangements. Our home is their home while they’re here. We also provide filtered water for our pups due to some urinary issues with 2, if this isn’t something you care for please let me know and I’ll provide your baby with their own water bowl.

“Misty was great and Luna was safe and secure, happy and healthy when I arrived home. Finding a dog sitter on Memorial Day seemed like an impossible request so imagine my surprise when she accepted, arrived and did a great job. I highly recommend her!”

Scott Z.

“Thank you so much for taking such good care of Creed and Celina!!”

Lisa Y.

“Eric was great! He took great care of our snuggly beagle and our home. Chester was at ease with Eric and we could tell that he got all the treats and affection to which he is deservedly entitled. We will definitely ask Eric to sit for us again on our next trip.”

“Our dogs are older and have known medical needs, but Jessica was not deterred from taking care of them. Unfortunately our worst fear came true and one of our dogs had a medical crisis while we were out of the country (no one’s fault, just the dog’s health declining). Jessica escalated to us and took our girl to the vet office on two separate days to get her medical care. She work with our vet and learned to give our dog new medications to manage the situation. Aside from rising to the occasion of medical crisis, Jessica sent us tons of photos and updates of all the dogs (which we greatly appreciated). It is difficult enough to find a sitter who is competent in taking care of older dogs with medical issues, but Jessica exceeded all expectations and we can’t thank her enough.”

“We had to leave Smoke for 2 weeks. It was not easy for me, but happily, I found Rhiannon! She took excellent care of Smoke and of the house. She even watered and looked after the gardens. Could not ask for a better sitter. We’ll be booking with her again without hesitation.”

About: Hi I’m Raquel ! I’ve been in a home of pet lovers and care takers my whole life! My mom is a dog groomer and I’ve handled and cuddled all dogs and cats of all sizes & have watched & learned to care for every ones extended families (fur babies)! With a small old dog of my own I’ve been able to experience a full spectrum of dog parenting and would love to take care of your pets so you can rest and relax knowing they’re in good hands :) I teach yoga a few hours a week and enjoy getting steps in and hanging with dog friends in the between, this let’s me continue my yoga gig and do something else I love too! I live in in broadripple so I’m near dog park and we have lots of space with the Monon being a few steps away! Been very fortunate to also live in a complex with a park & plenty of space, my doggy is now 14 (ish) so her days look different than when she was a puppy. As far as my clients home I just try to stay as close I can to the routine of the animal and what’s “normal” for them and comforting them while owners are away. And maybe a few extra treats

“Kennedy is amazing ? She was wonderful with my dogs and cat. Very communicative, friendly, open, and reliable. I highly recommend her. Thank you Kennedy for loving my babies!”

Sarah S.

“Ashley did a great job watching our pups. Communication was fantastic… pics and texts, as we’d discussed up front. She even checked on our chickens when the weather became unseasonably warm! Thanks Ashley!”

Dustin B.

“Kat was Lexi’s sitter for a week. Everything went great. I had no concerns leaving Lexi with Kat & Lexi can be challenging! She also took care of my house. Peace of mind.”

About: I’ve cared for newborn puppies on multiple occasions, so I’m no stranger to tiny paws and big responsibility. I bring patience, love, and plenty of cuddles to every pet I care for. Caring for pets is part of my normal day-to-day life. I enjoy building my routine around their needs, whether that means morning walks, midday check-ins, or extra cuddle time. My own pets are cared for with a mix of routine, enrichment, and lots of love (okay… maybe a little spoiling). I stay attentive to their needs, moods, and habits, and I bring that same level of care to every pet I sit.

“Glenn communicated with us throughout our time away and sent several updates of our pets with pictures. I would gladly hire him to pet sit again in the future!”

Laura and David B.
