House Sitting in Shelburne

“Whitney was a fantastic dog sitter. She was very responsive during the booking process and communicated with me regularly while I was away with notes and photos. The dogs seemed happy and well cared for, and she took great care of my home while she was here! I highly recommend Whitney!”

“Haley was great with our two dogs! She listened to their behaviors and they were cozied up with her all night. We are so thankful for her to allow us to be at ease for our wedding!”

“Reed was fantastic! His communication was excellent and he provided updates so we knew he and our dog were both doing great. He showed up on time and was flexible about when he’d depart wanting to ensure our pup wouldn’t be alone too long. Thank you Reed!”

About: I have worked at a doggy daycare for over a year now - learning and honing my skills on reading dogs body language and how to better support them in times of need. I’ve also taken care of family pets and have volunteered at various local shelters for the past 12 years. I love hiking, playing, cuddling and just spending time with furry friends. I also have a rescue puppy that accompanies me depending on the job - an added bonus for playtime and socialization :) At this point I am doing work from home and have a flexible schedule - given enough notice, i will be sure to fit you in my schedule! I care for your dogs as I would mine—plenty of walks, snuggles and love, and playtime both in and outside. I listen to what your specific dog enjoys to do :)

“Marrissa did an amazing job! She was communicative, professional, and treated our home with the utmost respect. We left our fur children in her care and received many pictures, updates, and thoughtful questions. Marissa continued to keep an open line of communication throughout us being away from our home, and we will absolutely be reaching out to her again for pet sitting!”

“Nicole took amazing care of our dog and cat while we were away! We would love to work with her again and would definitely recommend her for house sitting!”

“Sade was the BEST - sending pictures of Marvin, taking him to our local reservoir, giving him plenty of snuggles, and just letting us feel relaxed while we’re away. Marvin isn’t the easiest dog sometimes and we feel so calm and comfortable knowing he’s in Sade’s hands!”

Julia S.

“Blakely was responsive, asked great questions, and took great care of our cat while we were away for a long weekend! I know he’ll be happy to have her back 🐈‍⬛”

“Emily was such a wonderful dog and house sitter, very clean and respectful. It is obvious she loves animals and was able to win over our stubborn dogs. Our pups were well taken care of. We highly recommend Emily!”

Maria B.

“This was our first time using Rover and working with Mallory— we had a really positive experience, Mallory was enthusiastic to engage with our energetic pup, match her energy, and give her so much love and attention while we were away. Mallory also sent us updates so we could know how our dog was doing, and was very communicative. We will definitely have Mallory pet sit again when we travel!”

“Eileen was a fantastic sitter while we were on vacation for a week. We have a senior dog with health problems and a nervous/reactive dog, and Eileen navigated both their issues calmly. She also took great care of our home.”

Heather E.

“Sydney is THE dog sitter. But she’s more than just that. She took tremendous care of our home. She looked after it as if it were ours. The dogs were loved and cared for. Photos and videos were sent. She wasn’t afraid to ask questions when necessary. I could rave about her professionalism and calm yet confident demeanor all day long! 11/10!”

Braden R.

“Elizabeth watched our two goldens for a weekend and we had a great experience! She was very communicative and easy going. We'll be booking again!”

About: Experience with dogs of all ages & breeds, able to provide regular or one time dog walking of any preferred distance & occasional dog sitting as needed! I work as a nurse with a very flexible schedule- able to provide Monday & Tuesday regular visits/walks and Wed-Sun every other week. Can do anytime that works for you! My home has one cat so only able to provide in house visits with cat friendly dogs! Visits in client homes preferred, but can accommodate occasional boarding.

“We're a repeat client and would never want anyone but Lucille to be with our pups! Always great communication, so conscientious with our furry boys and our home.”

Tracy R.

“Alyssa was terrific and very flexible. My dog instantly adored her. She took care of both my dog and the house and went above and beyond to meet my last minute need for an extension of our booking. Would definitely use her again!”

About: I grew up on a farm so I've been surrounded by animals my entire life. I have experience with dairy operations, including milking, cleaning, and birthing goats. I also have experience caring for goats, horses, mini ponies, dogs, cats, small reptiles, birds, and guinea pigs. I have been pet sitting since I was 15 with all of the perviously mentioned animals. I also have experience in training horses as well as puppies. I also have experience working with a variety of aged animals, including seniors, so I am able to adapt to additional needs. I also have experience administering medication to a variety of different animals. I am looking for a part time position while I finish up my studies at UVM. I only have classes in the evening two nights out of the week. I can be flexible to drop by and hang out with your pet during the day, if it's better I can also hang out with your pet for most of the day if I can study with them! Also if you contact me with enough notice (~ 3 days) I will most likely be able to make time of the weekends to provide care! Typically I like to meet the pet while the owner is there to see their personality while they have the comfort of their owner there. Then I try and establish trust and connection with your critter while you are there so it won't be as scary when I return while the owner is away. I try and stick to the critter's normal routine, whether that's going for a walk, playing, or feedings at a certain time or in a certain manner to try and maintain their normal routine as much as possible.

“Cindy took such good care of my dog while I was away on vacation. She kept in regular touch with me, by providing updates on how things were going, as well as pictures, which really put my mind at ease. It was the first time my dog hadn't been watched by either friends or family, so it meant a lot to find someone that genuinely loves animals and was fully committed to my dog's needs, as she was very attentive to my instructions regarding his eating schedule and other routines. When I got home, my place was spotless, and she had taken the extra step of doing laundry and making the bed, so I would have clean sheets to return to! I would highly recommend Cindy for anyone looking for an extremely reliable, responsible, and caring dog sitter.”

About: Hi there, my name is MJ and I'm interested in help you with your doggos, or just your one and only pupper. I have been around dogs all my life. From chihuahuas, to pitties, a Rhodesian Ridgeback (yeah, they have a lot to say. Lol...), to your average American mutt, I seriously love all dogs. For the ones that just want the basics to those who are super charged, I can match their energy. I'm available for drop-in feedings, walks, and play-time. Have a doggo that needs a little extra attention, no problem I don't mind hanging out for a few hours, so you can run errands doggo free, appointment that might be long, or just need to escape for a bit. I am flexible between the hours of 8:30am-5pm, if you are in Shelburne village I can be a bit more flexible until 8pm. Overnight stay can be arranged with at least 2+ weeks notice. We have 2 fabulous felines, Zen & Leia, that are our fur babes!! We start every morning with feeding & water changes. Toy & fun, scritches & snuggles, sometimes even a cat nap. We make our own cat food as well. I have cared for personal family pets, friends pets (dogs, cats, fish, smallies.). I am very professional and enjoy being around animals very much. We have 2 cats, Zen Vader and Princess Leia. We also have a ball python, Ms. Bea Arthur. Caring for animals brings me so much joy, and I love the thank yous of butt wiggles and a purring machine.
