“Ruby had the best time and was well taken care of during her 3 day stay with Barbara and Darryll! We got plenty of updates and it was so comforting knowing she was happy and safe so we could enjoy our vacation!”

“Cindy was extremely flexible in boarding our German Shepherd for a week at the last minute. Her two dogs got along well with our dog and they loved to play together. She sent us lots of pictures. Her husband even bought our dog some doggie ice cream. Our dog absolutely had a great time and loved being there. I highly recommend you have Cindy board your dog.”

“Amazing as always! And our puppy intro of Kiva is going perfectly! I can't wait for her to start :) Although I need to run it by Bagheera as she will be crashing his party!!!”

About: I have lived with dogs my whole life- from Chihuahuas to Great Danes. I have trained puppies (am currently doing so now) and cared for the sweetest senior dogs. I have a large home and yard, free of children but with one friendly puppy. I am very patient and loving, and will appreciate any animal personality I am presented with. I have a smaller fenced in area off my back door. I am available for all services anytime on weekends but also work from home on Mondays. I’m available for walks and drop-in visits each week night after 4, and sometimes during my lunch break if you happen to live near downtown Montpelier! I frequently bring dogs for leashed walks throughout their time with me, whether its around my large yard or somewhere new like a bike path. I do not provide a crate but rather try to mostly stay with a dog throughout the duration of their stay, and allow them full access to my home at all times. I like to treat them as family but also do whatever will make them feel most comfortable and secure.

“Dependable. Professional. Worth every penny. This girl is an amimal whisperer and I couldn't have been more lucky to get the opportunity for her to watch my dogs. I never hesitated and was very thankful! I highly recommend Courtney!”

“Julia was so welcoming to our pups. I felt very comfortable leaving them in her capable hands!”

“My puppy is always so happy when Zoe comes over, and loves going on walks with her. I know that he is always in the best hands with her!! Always reliable, on time and extremely trustworthy. Zoe would take wonderful care of your pet :)”

“Poor Christopher earned his fee watching our misbehaving dog. We knew she’d be shy and nervous in a strange place but not to the extent she was. He put in a lot of extra effort and time with Fiddle. He sent photos from the hike that he took her on and sent a relaxing before bedtime video.”

About: I have been walking and pet sitting since I was younger. I would watch and walk my neighbors dog for them when they went away. I recently graduated from UVM with my B.S in animal science hoping to go to Vet school in the future. I have worked with more than just dogs and cats, but livestock too. I work at a vet clinic as a vet technician right now and walk/ pet sit for families in the area now. I work a full time job at a vet clinic but have availability before and after work, as well as weekends. My hours do vary on certain days so feel free to reach out regardless! I do have a good size backyard. It is not fenced in but I have do have 4.5 acres of land behind my house. There are also walk/hiking trails down the road from my house.

“Bob was an excellent choice for doggie care while we were away. We have two dogs. He was diligent with everything we asked of him and texted us with any questions. Bob will be our first choice for any future doggie care needs.”

“I don’t have the easiest of dogs - stranger danger! Kathleen was fantastic! She kept in touch on when I was leaving, how the dogs did, when she was leaving. Put my mind at ease while I was traveling.”

“Caleb was great with my golden retrievers during a recent long trip. He took them on long walks each day and was very responsive to my text messages. Caleb is reliable and sensitive to the dogs' personalities and needs. I highly recommend him as a caregiver of your pet.”

“Kacie did exactly job of house and puppy sitting for all most 2 weeks. Very responsible, daily updates and photos, accommodated my schedule. Radar my very active beagle received excellent care would definitely use Kacie again.”

“Haley is so nice. My Dogs took to her almost immediately even my one who doesn’t like most people. She sent me pictures while I was away and just gave me overall peace of mind my dogs were safe.”

About: i’ve been taking care of dogs, cats, horses for 10 years. all animals within friends family and others who have heard about me from others im working part time but i choose my work schedule so i can easily fit your dog into my priority routine to make sure your fur baby is taken care of! i have lots of land and two dogs who love to play and love other dogs they will tire them out by the time the play date is over

“Ariel took good care of our puppy while we were out of town. She gave him a lot of attention and playtime and practiced the commands he’s learning. Would highly recommend her to care for your furry family members! ☺️”

“Sam took great care of our dog while we were on vacation. The photos she sent each day were very comforting and reassuring. When we returned our dog was very relaxed, happy, and healthy. We highly recommend Sam!”

About: I have owned and cared for dogs for over a decade and a half. I have previously worked in a small pet hotel's pet care industry and owned my own dogs over the years. **I am unavailable to care for cats due to a severe allergy** I am currently a graduate student with a flexible schedule, and I am looking to fill some of my time looking after other's dogs while they are traveling. I am very careful and respectful of other people's homes and the routines they have with their dogs. I try my best to adhere as closely as possible to a pet's normal routine.

“Caitlin was amazing with Brody! She took care of him during our wedding so he could be in our ceremony and then she watched him for us during our reception so we didn’t have to worry about him. She was great with and sent updates and photos. 10/10 would recommend!!”

“Emma is such a great pet sitter - my pups (and cat) were loved and happy and my travels were worry-free. She sent darling pics and updates. I would highly recommend. Thank you, Emma for doing such an amazing job!!!”
