House Sitting in Rutland

“Absolutely went above and beyond. Bought extra toys and treats for the pets. The dogs were all played out when we arrived. The house was way cleaner than how we left it. Couldn't recommend more”

“Robin was an excellent sitter for Brady! She was extremely prompt in responding, super friendly and a competent care giver. It was comforting knowing she has experience with older dogs. She sent us updates and took care of some special requests. The house was in perfect order and we returned to a happy pug! I would definitely book Robin again to care for Brady.”

“Jade was a perfect house/pet sitter. She watched my dog and two cats in a last minute request and was very helpful and nice. She was also great at communicating and I appreciated all the picture updates.”

“Cindy was wonderful and very experienced handling dogs! Mine is elderly and can be skiddish around others but Cindy’s confidence helped me and my dog feel sale. Also Benny - her dog- is AMAZING. So well behaved and gets along with any dog. It’s great, will definitely book with her again!”

About: Since I was in Middle School, friends, family, and locals ask me take out, feed, play, and stay with their fur babies! I have watched dogs for 2 weeks at a time, a weekend, a night, and even just a drop in. I have experience with puppies, adult, and senior dogs, and will go out of my way to make sure they feel loved while their pawrents are away! I’m currently working full-time, so I have plenty of time after work to play and take care of your pets! Even with a full-time job, your fur baby will be unconditionally loved, as I love my own. I grew up walking and taking care of my own dogs, as well as friend’s and local’s dogs. I’ve never been without a dog. I’m committed to doing everything I can to keep your fur babies happy, as they will be doing the same for me!

“Amazing job. We felt so comfortable having Thomas watch our dog and cats while we were away. We had a very bad experience previously with another dog sitter, and he knew that, and really took the extra steps to make sure we knew our babies would be taken care of. He left the house clean and tidy, sent us lots of photos and updates, and was very communicative. Definitley will be using Thomas again everytime!”

About: Hi there! 👋 My name is Alyssa, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I have over 5 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds, including dogs, cats, and even small animals I’ve rescued over the years. I currently live at a dog training center! At home, I have a young Golden Retriever who is the sweetest, gentlest soul. He absolutely loves meeting new friends and is wonderful at helping dogs feel comfortable and relaxed. Because of him, I understand just how important it is for your dog to have a safe, positive environment when they’re away from home. Whether it’s playtime in the yard, relaxing snuggles, or keeping up with your dog’s routine, I make sure every pup feels loved and cared for like one of my own. I also know how important structure and consistency are, so I do my best to keep their schedule close to what they’re used to. If you’re interested in booking an overnight stay at my house, I do require at least one daycare day beforehand. This helps me make sure your pup is comfortable here, and that it’s a good fit for both them and my dog—it’s all about setting everyone up for success! I’d love the chance to meet you and your furry family member. If you’re looking for a caring, reliable sitter who will treat your pet like their own, I’d be happy to help! 🐾 I currently work from home part time, so when I’m not completing drop ins for other pups, my time is spent with yours! I am usually available for emergency or last minute requests! I am very trustworthy, and comfortable in clients homes. If the service you choose from me is provided in your home, I can guarantee that your home and pup will be handled in a clean and professional manner! If your pup is staying in my house, you can be assured that my house is clean, filled with toys, cameras to watch when I’m not home, and I have a dog first aid kit on hand at all times!

About: Lost my fur baby almost 2 years ago. I raised her from a puppy, I also had another dog as well along with cats. My other dog was a rescue so I’m well versed in dogs with anxiety and other social challenges. I do not shy away from dogs with all kinds of different behaviors and quirks. I love dogs (and cats!) and miss having a dog by my side. I would love to help care for other’s fur babies when they’re in need of outside support. I have a degree in Animal Science and am well versed in animal care. I can clip nails, give meds, care for wounds, support with behavioral challenges and socialization, grooming, etc. I have 11 acres where I live and can provide ample exercise through hikes in the woods, I am also open to taking them places like dog parks or vet appointments. I am available and able to handle multiple animals at a time. I have owned dogs and cats my whole life and have done pet, farm and house sitting since I was a kid off and on throughout the years. I have consistently watched a coworkers dog when she is away as well as other friends and family. I currently work full time and have availability nights and weekends. Workday evenings I’m available any time after 5pm. I’m available any time on the weekends. I am in the process of switching to part time employment. Once I am I will have more availability. I have 11 acres of land to walk and hike with dogs on or off leash. I have a cat of my own and separate housing available for dogs that aren’t cat friendly. There is an old dog on property (family member’s in separate housing) that is dog & people friendly. He stays inside in seperate housing except for potty breaks. Dog is available for play for the right fit.

About: I’ve been the go-to sitter for my sister’s and in-laws’ pups over the years. I’ve cared for my sister’s diabetic dog, following medication and feeding routines closely, and looked after my in-laws’ dogs while they were away on vacation—making sure they were walked, loved, and well cared for. I’m calm, reliable, and treat every dog like family. Whether your pup needs playtime, belly rubs, or a little extra medical attention, I’m here to help! Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to be available whenever needed, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I truly enjoy spending time with animals—whether it’s walking, feeding, playing, or simply keeping them company. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to providing consistent, loving care tailored to each pet’s individual needs. Although I’m based in Granville, I also spend time in the Queensbury area and am happy to offer services in both locations and surrounding towns. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow any instructions closely—whether it’s feeding times, walks, medications, or playtime—and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I give them plenty of attention, keep their space clean, and send updates so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. My goal is to treat your home with respect and your pet like family

About: My name is Darisha! I’m an aspiring veterinarian currently acquiring my bachelors in A.S. I have a strong passion and love for all animals! I’ve been taking care of dogs, cats, rodents, birds and reptiles for as long as I can remember! We’ve always had some type of animal in my house growing up! I worked at a pet store for awhile and gained various skills in specialized animal care, detecting Illness or sickness upon the animals as well as working closely along side the dog trainer and learning dog restraint, handling and training skills. I currently work remotely, i’m a full time college student with many of my classes online therefore I’m spending lots of time at home, I’m able to do a lot in between times and am super flexible! I have a fenced in yard as well as two of my own fur babies too keep you’re pup happy and entertained, if you prefer you’re dog to be crated or crated at certain times, there will be a crate available or you’re welcome to bring you’re own!

About: I’ve had a dog in my household since I was about 8 years old so basic animal care is easy for me. I also currently have a 2 year old puppy and 4 yr old toddler pup as well as a 4yr old cat. My first dog in the family just passed last yr she was an old girl, but gave me new experiences with an older dog. My cousin has me watch her dog most times she’s out of town and other family members and friends have asked me as well. I always loved animals since I was 3 working with them in some way has always been a passion to me and I hope one day I can expand that. I’m currently working full time, but love to slip in some animal care when possible. My passion has been working with animals since I was three and this seems as a good start for my ladder. I do have a medium size puppy who loves dogs as well. So if your dog is pet friendly a play mate is always great for the amount of energy she has! I like to try and be strict when it comes to basic training with my puppy because I want him to have respect for other people and dogs. So if given certain commands I will help enforce your skills you’ve worked on with your animal. I use stay, sit, no jumping, lay down, leave it, and here with my dog so if you also do that’s normal commands for me.

“Sasha was great and communicative about taking care of our dog! I would recommend her!”

“Julia stayed with my two dogs for 2 nights over a weekend and was a wonderful sitter! Leaving my dogs is stressful enough, but especially so since we are new to the area and they are still adjusting to a new state/neighborhood/house, etc. My dogs are anxious around new people (and I can be a bit extra about their care...) but Julia put us all at ease - she listened to my long-winded explanations of the dogs personalities and needs, asked good questions, and sent regular updates with photos while she was here. The house was in great shape when we returned and I could tell the dogs were well cared for. I would definitely recommend Julia as a sitter and would have her stay with my pups again!”

About: I’ve been taking care of other families animals for about 4 years now. I have consistently watched animals for the same families, and have picked up more jobs along the way. I currently work in two restaurants so my schedule tends to fluctuate weekly. I can generally commit to house sitting/ drop in visits with advance notice, or I will do my best to make something work with my schedule last minute! I am very comfortable walking dogs of any size. I have grown up with big strong dogs. I love playing with animals and engaging them to make them happy!

About: I've taken care of animals of all kinds since I was very young. I currently own dogs, cats, a guinea pig, and chickens, and if there are others that need attention, I'm happy to drop in with detailed instructions. I'm a mom and elementary school nurse. I am relatively flexible, mostly on weekends, but happy to work out the details for when you need someone to be with your babies. At this time, my services will be mainly checking in and providing care and attention to pets in your home. I am thorough and conscientious.

“What a dear person. Nadine is a natural with knowledge and a love of animals. She showed great judgement, and was kind enough to let me know when our cat was in for the night. She was thoughtful, and clearly is great with animals. Our cat was thoroughly in love.”
