Pet Sitting in Rutland

“Alyssa did a wonderful job taking care of our two cats for four days. I appreciated her messages and daily photographs of the kitties. Even our scaredy cat approached her and accepted treats, a big surprise and testament to the quality of her care. Our cats did not give us the cold shoulder upon our return, as they usually do; it would seem that they also give Alyssa high praise.”

“Jade was great! She watched our dog while we were staying at the Woodstock Inn. We went out for dinner and didn't want him to bark and disturb other guests. She arrived on time, took him for a walk, and was flexible with staying a bit longer when I dinner ran later than expected. I would highly recommend Jade.”

“Cindy was able to make a couple of visits to take our dog out on fairly short notice. She went above and beyond our expectations by taking Ollie out for a nice long walk both times. I would definitely ask her to take care of Ollie again.”

About: I may not have dogs of my own, but 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 weekly routine. I currently work four days a week and am available in the afternoons and evenings after work. I’m also free all day on Sundays and Mondays. I love spending my free time with animals—whether it’s walking, feeding, playing, or simply keeping them company. I’m reliable, flexible, and committed to providing consistent, loving care whenever I’m available. Although I live in Granville, I work in Queensbury, so I’m available in that area as well. 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

“Took great care of my 2 cats. We were in the middle of a move and she made sure the cats had all the food and toys that they wanted at their disposal the whole time.”

“Rachel took the best care of my 16.5 year old cat, Zoe. My cat now needs daily medication and it was the first time I left town since she started the meds and Rachel made me feel so comfortable knowing that Zoe was in great hands! And to my delighted surprise, Rachel even hung out with Zoe and let her go out to sunbathe in her favorite sunny spot ouside. Zoe appreciated that so much! I 100000000% recommend!!”

About: My adult daughter brought home a pup 4 years ago and I have been forever changed. I now get the unconditional love thing. I want to be around animals more than I do people!!! SO I am relatively new at it but very enthusiastic and want to help the owners. For the summer, I wanted a little more freedom in my life so I am choosing to try pet care for three days a week, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Currently, I am not available for weekends - although there might be an occasional weekend I might be available. I am happy to care for pets in your home and will adhere to all your guidelines! I would also love to care for your dog in my home, although it is rather small.

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.

About: With experience as a kennel attendant, I have worked with hundreds of different dogs, and am comfortable walking the smallest toy breeds to giant breeds like mastiffs or Great Danes. I have worked with a variety of different personalities and am capable of caring for terminally ill, disabled, or special needs pets! I am currently a college student and mostly spend my time studying if not hanging out with my own pets. I’m available for drop-in visits Monday morning-afternoon, all day Tuesday, Wednesdays and Thursdays after 3, and Fridays until 2 at this time. I am also available Saturdays and Sundays after 4! I care for everyone’s pets as if they’re my own - following their owner’s schedule as closely as possible to ensure their comfort and keep them stress-free! I also like to send owners updates with photos to ease any anxiety about being away from your baby!

“Haley was great! We have four cats, one of which requires a daily transdermal medication, and two of which are on special diets. We use microchip feeders, each one getting filled with different foods and portions, and requiring cleaning every few days, as well as bowls that need daily washing. It can be a lot to handle all the intricacies, but she did great with all of it, while still feeding our aquariums and watering a few plants, scooping 3 litter boxes, and keeping three water fountains filled. And still having time to sit and visit and play with the cats! She is quick to respond to any messages you might send. We felt assured that all our babies received care and attention. We would be happy to have Haley cat (and plant and fish) sit for us again!”

About: I have about 10 years of hands-on dog experience and a solid understanding of dog body language, behaviour, and psychology. I am also currently working on gaining my first dog training certification (expected July 2025). My training specialty has landed on service dogs, but I still have experience with basic obedience, tricks, and behaviour modification. While I do work a regular job, I dedicate the rest of my time to helping you and your dog(s) in whatever way you need. Be it check-ins, house sitting, or walks! No matter what, I prioritise your pup’s comfort and safety. I pay close attention to body language and behaviour changes to make sure they stay safe, happy, and stress-free. Any instructions are followed closely to ensure your pup’s routine is kept consistent, medications are given on time, and any preferences are respected. For walks and drop-ins I focus on creating a fun, enriching experience while still prioritising safety. For house sitting, I treat your home with care and respect. I stick to your dog’s regular routine as close as possible and make sure that their needs are met. I’m also able to take your pup to veterinary and grooming appointments if needed. We can even go for a hike or to the beach with your permission! But please note I do NOT take dogs to dog parks.

“Cristina was awesome! Always on time and communicative. It gave us real peace of mind that our kitties were well taken care of while we were away.”

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.

About: My family had a couple cats growing up and I've cat sat / cared for cats over the years for neighbors. My fiancé and I both hope to get a cat or dog in the near future so any experience and exposure to caring for an animal would be really helpful. I’ve been around dogs plenty but not specifically cared for them other than through association with friends. Love every moment. I am very flexible right now and have availability during the week Monday to Thursday at this time and will update as my schedule evolves. I hope to offer the utmost trust and reliability to my clients while creating a safe, caring and fun environment for their beloved pets. I enjoy hiking and long walks, so would definitely love an exercise buddy to help me achieve my step goals.
