House Sitting in South Woodstock

“Cyan is an incredible dog sitter. She immediately won the heart of our little pup, and was so loving with him. Cyan is a great communicator and is amazingly intuitive about the needs of pets and humans alike!”

About: I have worked in veterinary medicine for over 6 years and have been a pet owner most of my life. I have had a hospice dog and have a soft spot for senior animals. I currently have a Siberian husky, a husky/shepard mix and 2 cats! I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to be available as needed. Animals are a significant part of my life and I look forward to helping you and your family. I am available for dog walks, drop ins, or pet sitting. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats as part of our family. They are definitely spoiled but also well trained. I take pet care very seriously, every animal deserves respectful and loving care. My dogs require a lot of activity due to their breeds which has given me a lot of experience with high energy, high needs dogs.

“We needed to find a house/dog sitter for the weekend due to an unexpected situation and Kim was great. She responded quickly and was able to meet me and the pups same day. She was personable and I felt very comfortable leaving her to watch my home and pups. She was very communicative through the weekend, sent lots of pictures, and even left us a sweet welcome home gift and note. 10/10 would recommend and use again.”

“Gloria was amazing! She took great care of my pup and exercised him really well. I'd love to have her house sit for me again!”

“Above and beyond as usual! I have never felt truly at ease leaving my dog for a trip and KayMaria made it SO easy to do so. I cannot recommend her enough! (But not too much--she is only one he trusts so far!)”

“Suzanna treated my 2 boys as if they were her own. You could tell from the minute she met them that she is a natural borne animal lover. I have already booked her again :)”

About: Lost my fur baby almost 2 years ago. I raised her from a puppy, I also had another dog as well along with cats. My other dog was a rescue so I’m well versed in dogs with anxiety and other social challenges. I do not shy away from dogs with all kinds of different behaviors and quirks. I love dogs (and cats!) and miss having a dog by my side. I would love to help care for other’s fur babies when they’re in need of outside support. I have a degree in Animal Science and am well versed in animal care. I can clip nails, give meds, care for wounds, support with behavioral challenges and socialization, grooming, etc. I have 11 acres where I live and can provide ample exercise through hikes in the woods, I am also open to taking them places like dog parks or vet appointments. I am available and able to handle multiple animals at a time. I have owned dogs and cats my whole life and have done pet, farm and house sitting since I was a kid off and on throughout the years. I have consistently watched a coworkers dog when she is away as well as other friends and family. I currently work full time and have availability nights and weekends. Workday evenings I’m available any time after 5pm. I’m available any time on the weekends. I am in the process of switching to part time employment. Once I am I will have more availability. I have 11 acres of land to walk and hike with dogs on or off leash. I have a cat of my own and separate housing available for dogs that aren’t cat friendly. There is an old dog on property (family member’s in separate housing) that is dog & people friendly. He stays inside in seperate housing except for potty breaks. Dog is available for play for the right fit.

About: I have several years of experience caring for cats, dogs, birds, and snakes. Skills include elderly and disabled care for cats and dogs, grooming, playing, transportation, and some training. I currently work part-time and have a flexible schedule, so I have lots of time to care for your pets! I can do overnight care on weekends, drop-off after 1pm Friday - Sunday. I have a fenced-in pen in my backyard with a dog and a bird. I have treats and shareable dog/cat toys. I tend to spend lots of time outside with dogs. I tend to meet cats where they’re at, using toys and treats for the shy ones.

About: I've recently become petless and would like to remedy that situation by spending some time with your dog. Having grown up around dogs, I'm very well experienced in young, middle and older aged dog care having worked at my friend's doggie daycare for 2 years during Hurricane Sandy. I was also a dog walker in Manhattan and Brooklyn during Covid. I moved back to New England after 20+ years in NYC. I walk a lot and I'd enjoy a companion. Or if you just need me to stop by to say hello and give them a little attention, I'm your gal. I work from home so have the flexibility to ensure your pup is well taken care of at all points of the day and night. Your pup will be taken out at least 4x per day, morning, lunch, early evening and late evening with two of those outings being longer walks/plays. I'm communicative, responsive, flexible and easy to work with. Your loved one will feel relaxed and at home. I live in a dog friendly area with close access to multiple parks and walking areas. I will respect your care instructions with the occasional treat here and there.

“Lisa and her partner were available last minute to stay at our home with our dog for a couple days. Our dog was immediately at ease with them and we enjoyed getting picture updates of happy snuggles, playtime, and walks. Great with communication and great with our pup - she was well cared for and relaxed and happy when we got home. All around a good experience!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats and have done house sitting for 4 years. I love doing this kind of stuff. I can walk them, go for walks all that fun stuff. Im doing babysitting right now but can house sit whenever and can be with the dogs/cats whenever. I am always free to take them out whenever needed. I will watch pets in your home and or/ stay in your home for house sitting overnight. I will keep them safe and follow any rules.

“Lizzie was great with the dogs and everyone was happy on our return. Lizzie was on time and dependable. Everyone was loved as one of her own. I would definitely recommend.”

About: I have pets my whole entire life from small animals to large. I also was in Vet Tech for a year & pet sit for a bunch of family members:) I currently work full-time at West Lebanon fit body Boot Camp. During the week I don’t go to work until 9/9:30, I also can take a lunch when needed! I leave work around 6pm. I can be flexible as needed, and sometimes can have schedule shifts. I prioritize safety, routine, and comfort in a calm, clean environment. I follow all care instructions closely, provide regular updates, and respect to your home. My goal is to create a low stress experience where your pet feel safe, comfortable and cared for at their own pace.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 35 years, and I just love it! I have to travel for work which means I can’t have my own right now, so looking after others is a true joy. I naturally treat every animal as if they were my own — and making sure they feel secure, loved, and happy while their parents are away. With every sit, I bring both reliability and heart. Over the years I’ve cared for dogs, cats, parrots, chickens, and more — each with their own unique personalities and quirks. I’ve played with energetic puppies who needed training and adventure, given gentle support and patience to sweet seniors, reassured nervous or shy animals with steady routines & space, and comforted sick or elderly pets in their final days. One of the most important lesson I learnt came from my own senior dog, who had arthritis. Beyond medication, what mattered most were the little things. I could see from her body language that her favorite time of day was simply sitting together in the sun while I gently massaged her and talked to her. Those quiet moments made her feel safe and deeply loved — and they taught me how much presence and empathy matter in pet care. I work remotely with flexible hours, which means I can spend plenty of time with your pets — for walks, play, belly rubs, or simply quiet companionship so they don’t feel alone. While I’m new to Rover, I’ve been sitting through other platforms where I’ve built excellent reviews and references. Having hosted sitters myself, I also understand the trust (and nerves!) that come with leaving your pets and home in someone else’s care. That’s why I believe clear communication is key, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos, feedback, and check-ins so you can relax knowing your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for. My work is remote so I can be anywhere as long as I have wifi. I only work part-time with flexible hours which gives me the space to adapt to your pets needs & also have the time to for plenty of walks, cuddles & play. When caring for pets in their own home, I make sure their routines stay consistent so they feel secure — from feeding and walks to playtime and rest. I pay close attention to each animal’s signals, balancing structure with the affection, stimulation, or quiet companionship they need. Safety is always a priority. I follow your instructions carefully, ensure food and medications are given correctly, and keep doors, windows, and gates secure. I maintain a calm, clean environment so pets feel relaxed, and I treat every home with the same respect as my own. I’m a naturally tidy person who cleans as I go, so you’ll return to a home that feels just as you left it. Having hosted sitters myself, I fully understand the trust (and nerves!) that come with leaving your pets and home in someone else’s care. That’s why I believe strong communication is key. I’m happy to provide updates, photos, and even video calls as often as you’d like — so you can relax knowing your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I’ve been pet sitting as long as I remember for friends families especially while growing up and always had dogs and other animals of my own, and now for clients here for a few years, and I’m a corgi mom myself to my 11-year-old, Bowen! I’m super flexible, communicative, and always happy to help whenever I can! I travel often and may be out of area sometimes, but on the plus side I cover a lot of ground and can help a wider range of clients. I currently do not take animals to my home but I do drop in visits and walks for my clients if they’re pet needs relief and if I’m available then I’m happy to help! I always check that the water bowl is full, and you can let me know if I need to feed a meal as well.

About: Leave your dog with me and rest assured that they’ll be having the time of their lives; daily walks and hikes, lots of individual attention, cuddles, and love, and someone home with them most of the day to ensure they get what they need. It’s really important to me to create a safe, loving, and fun environment for your pup while they keep here. I strive to make your dogs stay at my farm special; my repeat client pups are always excited to be here when they’re dropped off. I love dogs, and any pup who’s staying on the farm will be treated like one of my own. I work from home, so i’m almost always home with the pups, and we spend a lot of time outside, hiking, walking, running, or working in the yard. I've been dog sitting since I was young, on and off. I'm also a livestock farmer who cares for livestock guardian dogs, cats, goats, pigs, chickens, and other animals on a daily basis at work. I have a pup of my own, 3 year old Luddy, who makes life better in every way! I'm comfortable providing basic veterinary care, based upon my livestock farming professional background, and will make sure your pet gets lots of exercise and play outside as i'm an avid runner and hiker. I work from home, as a farmer, so your dog will almost never be left alone. They can hang out in the house with me or out in the garden while i work, or in a fenced in portion of the yard. We usually go on a long hike, walk, or run every afternoon, and the pups are invited to sleep anywhere they’d like, whether it’s the couch, my bed, or their own bed or crate. I live in a house on a dead end road with 300 acres of wooded trails right outside my back door, where I take my pup Luddy on long hikes or trail runs every day. We’re far away from any car traffic and have a fenced in portion of the yard for pups to run around in. I spend a lot of time at home working in the garden, playing with Luddy, hiking, or running. Luddy is a very friendly pup who loves to play and wrestle with other dogs, and tends to tire his friends out...at which point he loves to fall asleep curled around another pup :)

About: Huge dog lover...I’m definitely the type of person to pay more attention to the dog in the room than the humans haha :) I have very open availability and would love to help out by caring for your furry friend(s)! As a dog owner myself I understand the level of trust that comes with leaving your pets with others. I’m quite active and can assure that they will receive chances to exercise if needed, in addition of course to love & affection. As a house-sitter, I am also happy to help out with housekeeping and yard work. I am also very experienced with dogs who have experienced trauma and have issues such as anxiety. If you are having difficulties around these issues I may be able to provide a little insight, if anything try to help. Thanks for taking the time to read this! Hope to hear from you soon :)
