“Jessica was amazing! She came early when we had an emergency and took such great care of our animals. She communicated well with us and even handled one of our dogs being sick. Couldn’t recommend her more! We will absolutely use her again and again.”

“Paige was super responsive leading up to an initial meet & greet. She made time to come over after working her day job. She was great with our pups, calm affectionate and patient. She update me during her time with my girls and when we got home. I will happily book with Paige in the future.”


About: I’ve taken care of various breeds of dogs for the past five years. Willing to watch multiple dogs and able to provide walking services. I’m a physical education teacher. Looking to provide pet care services in the summer and on the weekends. As well as after work if needed. I am always attentive to the needs of all pets and willing to learn about what works for my clients. Pet safety is my first priority

“Will is a great sitter! Our pup is scared of people and Will is very accommodating to that by giving him a gentle presence without any pressure. Giving him the time he needs to warm up To new people. He is very respectful of our home and a great communicator, always responding to us in a timely fashion. Two thumbs up. Would definitely recommend.”

“I am so grateful for the care provided for our cats! It felt clear that she understood how to meet and make each cat comfortable! I believe our cats felt supported and safe because August did everything to keep the cats routines. We feel so grateful and will book again!”

“Chelsea has a special dog energy! My dog is very human nervous but as soon as he met her he was begging for booty scratches and wagging his tail. Will 10000% make the drive from Burlington to St Albans for Chelsea’s care whenever we’re away. We also had a medical emergency and she treated Elvis like her own and drove him all the way out to Burlington Vet Emergency Services without me asking. 10/10 recommend”

“It was great to have someone as responsible and caring as Molly stay in my home for 5 days and care for my dog and water plants/bring in mail etc. I can highly recommend her! She left the house 🏡 in better condition than she found it as I was rushing out to catch an early flight. I received daily pictures and updates and she was proactive re any questions she had. We will book her again for sure!”

“DEFINITELY A STAR SITTER!!! Kasandra was phenomenal! She came to my home and sat for my dog--and agreed to take on a friend's dog, in a late edition, after she had already agreed to sit for my dog. The dogs were well taken care of, walked, given lots of attention. By all indications (daily updates and photos), they both really enjoyed her. I will absolutely request Kasandra again! I just hope she's not so busy that she's booked.😁”

“This was our first time leaving Max with a sitter. She was wonderful and Max loved her. We will definitely use the service again and Sukhpran she was great with Max. I would definitely recommend Sukhpran for a dog sitter.”

About: I grew up on a farm around all kinds of animals, so caring for them has always been second nature to me. I’ve loved and cared for many dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I genuinely enjoy making animals feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have a flexible schedule as I am in between jobs right now and have plenty of availability for pet care, walks, check-ins, and overnight stays. I try to keep pets as comfortable and relaxed as possible by sticking closely to their normal routines. Whether I’m caring for pets in their home or mine, I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, play, affection, and a calm environment. I also understand how important communication is, so I like to keep owners updated with photos and check-ins while they’re away.
“We were super nervous to leave our two pups for 6 days while we traveled and we had never used a pet sitter in our home for an overnight extended time before. Hailey immediately put us at ease when she stopped by to meet the pups before her stay. She was kind and professional and the pups seemed to immediately take to her. While we were gone, we received daily updates along with videos and pictures of the pups having a blast. Hailey definitely took our worry away, allowing us to have a wonderful vacation, knowing our two heelers were being well cared for. Will definitely have Hailey back again. Amazing experience!”

“Vi was wonderful to accommodate our last minute booking request. They came on time and were thoughtful and accommodating to our pets idiosyncrasies and needs. They were appropriately communicative. I would definitely book with Vi again.”

“Heather was an amazing sitter! She really went the extra mile to get to know our pup and took him on awesome adventures, all while sending us updates and pictures. She is reliable and an excellent communicator. We highly recommend her and will definitely be working with Heather in the future!”


About: I’ve been caring for dogs for several years. I’ve grown up with dogs, working with them and training them. I’ve been dog sitting for many years and for multiple families, with different breeds, both large and small. I have cared for up to five dogs at once for one family. I have a lot of experience with high energy dogs, such as Australian Shepherds and German Shorthaired Pointers. I enjoy being outside and use this enjoyment to keep dogs active and happy. I go above and beyond when caring for not only my own animals but those of others. I view pets as family and treat them with the upmost care. I am a freelance writer, and have a flexible work schedule. Due to the nature of my work I am able to work from anywhere, provided there is access to wi-fi. As I am able to create my own schedule and bring my work with me, I am able to actively adapt to a pet's needs. I am able to take breaks for play and time outdoors as needed/necessary. I have a calm and loving demeanor. I am very diligent when trying to encourage animals to be comfortable with me and enjoy their time with me. I ensure they get plenty of attention, play time and are able to adhere to their typical routine to avoid any undue stress.
About: I have been working with animals for the last ten years. Started working in dog daycares and moved my way up to vet medicine where i now am a vet technician. I am patient and understanding to all pets personalities and ages. I am currently working 3 days a week on a specialty service at a veterinary hospital. My weekends are typically free and I would love to fill the time with your furry loved ones. Will be very respectful of your home and make giving your sweet boy or girl my devoted attention. Back yard fence in play is great but leash walks are also great!
About: Growing up in rural Vermont, my household was equal parts animals and humans. From an early age, I learned the care and attention that goes into caring for pets from the time they are an energetic puppy to well into their silver years. I’m well equipped to handle potting training, medication feeding, and leash pulling. Fun fact! My first job was as a neighborhood dog walker and my catch phrase was “Lydia B walking” because my last name starts with a B! I'm currently a student and I'm most available during the mornings on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Depending on the distance and public transit accessibility, I could be more available! When it comes to caring for other people’s pets, I treat every pet like they’re my own. Which means making sure they are happy, healthy, and safe even after walk time is over. I understand and fully respect that your pet is part of your home and as such, I will follow every aspect of your (and their) routine. In your home, I will make sure doors, gates, and crates are secure, and I always leave things just the way I found them (or better!). I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality, and I’ll keep you in the loop with plenty of updates, pics, and funny moments along the way. You can relax knowing your furry friend is in good hands—and probably having a blast.

“Jaime was wonderful with my Tucker! I immediately felt comfortable during our meet n'greet, while she remained communicative throughout my entire trip and sent pictures of my happy guy. I would love to have Jaime watch Tucker again when I go away!”

“Jess watched our dog and cat for the first time over the weekend. She let us know when she arrived and sent a photo. She was responsive to our texts so we felt comfortable being away.”
