“Nicole was so great. She kept us up to date will pictures of the pups throughout each day. The house was in perfect order and the dogs were happy. Will definitely have Nicole take care of our old dudes again.”
“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've taken care cats, dogs, and guinea pigs since I was a little kid. My family was super adventurous and we took our dogs everywhere with us. Growing up we fostered cats and dogs of all breeds and ages. I am a professional cross-country skier so I am very active during the day. I can go on many walks or runs with your dog if needed. I will be out for two hours in the morning and then free until the afternoon. Our cats are indoor cats because of our busy street. However, growing up we would let our cats out for however long they wanted and then let them in. We had a revolving door so when we were home they were allowed to go out. I will try to make you feel as comfortable and safe as possible when watching your pet.

About: I have dog-sat for multiple breeds of dogs over the past few years, including short stop ins for potty breaks and extended house stays. I love walking and playing with dogs, and have experience in administering medications. I work full-time from 7-5 on weekdays with Wednesdays off. I can care for pets mornings and evenings, as well as weekends, and depending on location can provide drop ins. I always discuss with clients how best to care for pets in their homes, including preferred walking routes, whether runs or fenced areas are available in yards, and what additional care each pet needs to be comfortable and happy.
“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!”
About: I've taken care of dogs as long as I can remember, but have been doing it as a side job since I was about 12. I love all dogs, whether they are big, small, old, or young. I am currently working in the morning and early afternoons, so evening and night (walks, check-ins, etc.) would be ideal for my schedule at the moment! I have a large unfenced yard and a jittery, but friendly pup that would love to get to know yours! I also have access to yards that are fenced in!:)

“Deborah took such wonderful care of my kitty Leo while we were away for 10 days. She stayed in our home ànd sent me text updates with pictures during her stay. It was clear from the pictures of Leo snuggling on her lap that he was very comfortable and she loving with him. Upon our return, Leo was just as affectionate with us as before. Deborah also left our home as clean as when we left. We're planning on having Deborah stay in our home again soon to care for Leo. It was a wonderful experience having her here and we felt Leo was comfortable and happy as well!!”
About: My name is Casey, I'm a student majoring in creative writing, and I'm looking to expand my house sitting portfolio. I have been a dog walker and house sitter for three clients/families in 2025 so far and love popping by for walks every two hours with your pup. Size, barking, and puppy-ness are non-issues! I have extreme patience and good shoulders. My grandma always told me to leave the house you're visiting neater than when you got there, so I have an eye for cleanliness and I don't want you to feel like someone has been living in your home when you come back. I.E. I will ask you if I can vacuum. I'm starting school in the fall at Vermont State University in Johnson, so I am free to book any time this summer, unless I have another doggie booked that day. I'm a list maker so I like to write down your instructions when we have a formal introduction. Food, walks, potty time, play time, training, and housekeeping will all be done to your standard.

19. 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.”
20. Mattie C.
“Not only is Mattie an exquisitely attentive caretaker of her own cat, Sarge - treating him like the family he's become - but through many mutual friends her love of dogs and cats is clear to us all, and her dedication to taking care of them (from childhood to the present) is next level. Mattie loves *and* understands animals. And they certainly love her!”
