“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!”
“Bev was fantastic. She stayed three nights with our cat. She had great communication and sent us photos of our cat each day. She left the house spotless. Bev was great, we will definitely rebook with her!”
“It is clear that Georgia loves animals. Our dog was well cared for, the house was spotless on our return, and she kept in touch throughout our trip. Would have back in a heartbeat!!”
“Our boys—our whippet Franky and our elderly cat Stieg—were in excellent hands with Anna for a 2nd time. Anna worked from home, from our home, so they had almost constant companionship. They both have idiosyncratic feeding needs, and Stieg gets a pill morning and night. None of this seems to be a challenge for Anna. And she also took great care of our home, leaving it at least as clean as we left it for her. We are very grateful for her services and care.”
“Andrew was great. His communication was perfect, and he gave us frequent updates and pictures of our pets. Everything was very well taken care of, and I will definitely use him again!”
“Abby took wonderful care of our senior cat! I was nervous about leaving him as he has advanced CKD and was worried our absence would stress him out and potentially lead to a crash. Abby was extremely communicative and responsive. The regular videos and pics she sent assured me my cat was doing great while we were gone! Her love of animals shines through in her communication. She left our house spotless. We would happily book Abby again!”
About: Everyone around me knows how much I love pets. I have helped dog sitting my boss’s dog, and as a first timer, I know I did great! I’m working a full time job, I’m ready for anything after working hours and weekends. For occasional home visits, I can make some exceptions depending on my schedule. I myself have a cat, and I haven’t been able to assess how she would react with other pets so I’m holding off on bringing other pets at my place for now. Otherwise, for the clients, I make sure I observe all safety measures and that I’m giving them all the love.
“Anna was great!! We were gone on an extended trip, and she took great care of our three kitties. She was great with providing updates and gave our cats lots of love. Definitely would book with Anna again!”
“Holly is a fantastic pet sitter! She was extremely thorough when she met us and our dog Wolfie. She asked all of the right questions and got to know him before sitting for us. While we were away for the weekend, Holly came to visit and take our dog for a number of walks throughout the day. She sent us updates and photos which were exactly what we asked for. We would highly recommend Holly!”
“Liz is amazing! My husband and I have never left our dogs with anyone but family so we were a bit nervous but she’s very communicative and treasuring. She also helped with our ducks which was of great help. So happy to have found someone in the neighborhood. Will definitely rebook in the future.”
“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.”
“Meghan is wonderful! She did a great job and our dogs love her. She kept us updated on the pups and the communication with her was easy and steady. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who wants to feel comfortable with leaving their dogs at home.”

“Shelby is AMAZING! I cannot praise her enough. She is extremely detail oriented and asked me all the right questions before sitting my pups, even questions I didn’t think of. When I returned home, I could tell my dogs were very well taken care of. If you’re looking for a sitter, stop right here because you found her.”
About: Hi, I’m John — a lifelong animal lover with over 40 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and even birds. I’m also the owner of Vermont Dog Camp, where I lead off-leash group adventures for pups across Addison County. I bring decades of hands-on experience and a deep respect for every animal’s unique personality. I am insured and certified in animal 1st aid/CPR. When I’m not walking dogs with Vermont Dog Camp, I’m usually spending time at home with my own pets or caring for others in the neighborhood. Whether it’s a morning walk, a midday check-in, or a cozy evening visit, I always make time to give each pet the attention and care they deserve. I currently only offer service in the client's home or off-site for walks. Dog walks can be in town, or on public or privately owned land away from crowds and traffic.

David N.
“David adores animals, particularly dogs. I am lucky enough to work in an office where we can bring our pets in at different times. My work sometimes requires me to meet sometimes at length with clients, sometimes who are afraid of dogs so I cannot have my dog in the office with me. David joyously offers to take my dog and without being prompted he will make sure he goes out for pee breaks, has water and is kept comfortably contained. He is amazingly kind, professional and trustworthy. I have known him over 2 years and I trust him implicitly.”

Colby W.
“Colby was awesome! Took wonderful care of our pups and our house, got them lots of exercise, and was a great communicator throughout. Thanks Colby!”
Laurie P.
“There are three things that set Laurie apart from other dog sitters: 1. She is reliably caring and understanding with our pet. She gets our dog, and loves her quirks. 2. Laurie is totally dependable. She trekked through 12’’ of snow up a steep driveway to visit our pet on a cold, winter morning. 3. Laurie is proactive about resolving problems whether they are behavioral, medical or something else. If your pet won’t take her medicine, she can handle it. If your pet needs some extra TLC, she can handle it. Laurie also walks our dog, sits with her and gives her much-needed attention and checks in with texts, photos and videos. I highly recommend her.”
Shelby S.
“Shelby is AMAZING! I cannot praise her enough. She is extremely detail oriented and asked me all the right questions before sitting my pups, even questions I didn’t think of. When I returned home, I could tell my dogs were very well taken care of. If you’re looking for a sitter, stop right here because you found her.”
John G.
“John is amazing! He has an incredible connection with animals — it’s something you notice instantly. I’ve watched him care for dogs, cats and even birds with patience, confidence, and genuine affection. As the owner of Vermont Dog Camp, he’s out on the trails with dogs almost every day, keeping them happy, safe, and well-exercised. I trust him completely with my own pets, and I’ve seen how quickly other animals warm up to him. He’s dependable, knowledgeable and always goes the extra mile.”
