About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 16 years old. I am now 22 with three cats of my own and a love for taking care of furry friends!!🐈⬛🐕 I am currently a college student available from 1-6:30 every weekday. After 4 pm on Saturday I am available and all day Sunday! My whole life I have been called an animal whisperer, as I get along with any animal I interact with. It brings me a lot of joy to care for pets and make owners feel secure in their decision to hire me. I am very detail oriented when it comes to their routine and will ask questions to confirm I am taking care of your pet correctly.

“Last minute booking, last minute changes, special instructions, and it was totally managed by Katherine. She was so kind to my dog and sent great feedback and photos. She asked clarifying questions and responded to me promptly. She was fabulous. Highly recommend.”
“Jessica and her husband where fantastic with our two dogs and cat. They sent great pics and updates during each visit. Really appreciate what an awesome job they did highly recommended!”
About: I’ve always loved playing with and working with dogs, and I specialize in gaining the trust of shy dogs. I’m responsible and work hard but play harder! I work part time in the weekday mornings, but my afternoons and weekends are free for your furry friends! I will always set time aside for those who need. I live with a golden doodle right now who loves other dogs, but can get a little rambunctious during play time. I would prefer to petsit outside of the home.
“Hunter is awesome!! She is very attentive to her messages and answers very quickly. She kept me very well updated throughout the entire weekend with my two kitties! I would book her to care for my girls again and again!!”
“Jennifer was able to help us out on very short notice, needing a dog sitter to visit our new 5 month old puppy Milo one 2 back to back days. She was on time both days, and made sure our sweet pup was walked, fed, watered, and used the bathroom. She followed all our requests perfectly! And Milo had a great time. We loved all the photos AND videos we got as updates. Our puppy even had an unfortunate accident in his crate and she did her best to clean it for him and update us on it. I would definitely hire her again to help if we need it.”
About: I’ve fostered and cared for animals since I was little, working for Animal Rescue League in Boston. Highly experienced with big dogs and cats/kittens. Owner of Great Pyrenees, Bernese, and two cats. I am a UVM student doing my student teaching semester at a local high school. For me this means lots of afterschool and weekend walks- just missing my dogs back home! I grew up with active big dogs & lots of cats:) I am super experienced in pet care— including animal/wildlife rehabilitation. Very mindful of what’s safe for dogs and cats of all social levels, and how to keep them calm and happy. After years of working with animal shelters as a foster family, I love working with all kinds of pets!
About: My career training makes me hyper aware of my clients needs whether they be human or animal. I can meet them where they are physically and mentally and cater to their needs. My work is flexible so my schedule can fit your pet's routine. I typically do my workout in the early morning which leaves the remainder of the dedicated to your pet's priorities. When I'm with your pet/s they are my priority whether it's feeding, walking, playing or just cuddling. I love animals but can't have them because of my husband's health issues. Yours is the best I can do.

Chaya was wonderful taking care of our cat while we were away for 5 days! We received updates including adorable pictures after each visit. She gave us peace of mind and left everything spotless! She went above and beyond and we would definitely book with her again. Thank you!!
Lynn is very pleasant, attentive, and reliable. She promptly communicated with me and reached out when she had questions, which made me happy to know she would ensure our cats received the best possible care. I felt comfortable knowing my cats were in good hands while we were away, and they were happy and healthy when we returned home.
Caroline watched our dog pack for a week doing multiple drop-in visits a day. She was responsible, took great care of our dogs, cleaned up after them and kept us updated with pictures & notes after every visit. We highly recommend Caroline to take care of your doggy loved ones! Thanks again!
