House Sitting in Starksboro

“Steven is great! He’s friendly and our dogs couldn’t have been happier and more well taken care of when we got home. He was quick to take our sitting job in a pinch and we look forward to having him hang with our dogs again in the future!”

Camarin M.

“Hannah was so great! Gave me lots of updates on my pup while I was away so I knew he was in good hands, I will definitely book again if I have more trips in the future :))”

Madison M.

“We had such a great experience using Molly to house sit with our cat and dog while we were away. She was willing to meet multiple times before our trip to get our dog used to a new person. She arrived exactly when she said she would and sent us lots of pictures the whole time we were gone. She also worked with our picky cat to make sure he got his daily medicine. We’re ready to book her again for our next trip!”

Jason M.

“Zeni was great. Very pleasant to talk to, showed up on time, flexible with changing schedules, and Ody was super comfy with her. He didn't even get off the couch when I came back in the door because he was getting scratched.”

Christian W.

“Liz was on very short notice for us and made us feel secure in leaving our pups with her in our home even though we had not had her sit prior. She updated us with photos and video, and left our home as she found it. Thank you Liz for taking care of Tuna, Budgie, and Bug!”

Molly & Kyle M.

“My babies are everything to me. We hardly travel without them because we haven’t found anyone yet who can or is willing to care for them in a way that I’m content with. Enter Laura. Laura proves her trustworthiness by her excellent care and communication before booking. She is very competent regarding what I feel to be more complex pup situations. Added bonus, she is active and is able to give my high energy pups a good amount of exercise. My partner and I were able to have a fantastic time away without any worries. I am thrilled with Laura, and hope she is interested in working with us again!”

Catherine M.

“Highly recommend Jimmy to watch your pups while you’re away!”

Jared B.

“Chris was diligent, thoughtful and caring for my two dogs. He even sent videos of the dogs playing with Chris and their toys. He did all of the extra things I asked him to do. When I reached out to him by text he responded almost immediately. And he investigated and fixed the internet problem! I give him 5 stars because he deserves it!”

“Jenna was fantastic with our dogs while we were away for a long weekend and left the house in better shape than she found it. Great communication and always pleasant to interact with. We’re sure to be repeat clients!”

Eric B.

“Beatrice was so sweet with our 2 little pups. They took to her right away, and when we returned, they seemed to be very comfortable with her! We will certainly reach out to her on our next visit to Burlington. Thanks!”

About: In the last decade+ I've taken care of half a dozen dogs and nearly a dozen cats for friends and through word-of-mouth, including a very senior chihuahua who was blind and deaf and needed diapers changed. I always had cats and dogs around growing up, including two difficult dogs from shelters who had issues. I live with an energetic pit-lab mix, and my parents' three rescue cats are still my sweeties. In the past I volunteered at an animal shelter, helping to socialize cats and walk dogs. I hike every day if I can, so if your dog enjoys vigorous exercise on trails, I can provide that too! I'm an adjunct college professor and freelance writer, so my work is part-time or sporadic, with much of it being done at home. If I'm available, I'll have plenty of time to linger and give attention to your pets! I'll follow your lead on what situations you're comfortable with for your pet, in terms of where I bring your dog for a walk, how they interact with other animals and people, etc.

“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.”

About: I own 11 animals of my own, I have had great experience with multiple breeds and animals, and love socializing with the especially furry ones! I believe that human beings were put on this planet to protect the weaker younger animals and that’s a philosophy that I’ve stood by. I love reading the reactions in the body language of animals understand understanding how they’re feeling what they want and I would love to take that in with your animal as well I can respond well to their behavior as well as agressive behavior as I myself have dealt with my own very aggressive dogs. All of my animals love to go for car rides walks. I bring them for runs bike rides, camping hikes all of it. I would love to even have our dogs meet! I am going to college next year so I am looking to make some extra money this summer, while also enjoying how I’m earning it! I’m gonna be available for the summer and active so I figured it might as well how about those furry animals that are going to be stuck inside! I would love to walk, run bike or even just hang out with your animal for a little while and throw a ball. All of my pets including bunnies and birds are free roamed in my home, I can groom, walk, sit or even just hangout with your animals. I love main homemade treats for them, thinking of new games and stimulants!

“Laura is very responsible and great to deal with. We appreciate how she is attentive and provides updates. She’s great!”

“Booker Shannon for house sitting our 2 dogs. She was fantastic! Very communicative and took great care of our house and dogs! Would absolutely book again.”

Donald H.

“Liddy was wonderful and took great care of our pup (and apartment) while we were out of town. She sent us several great updates and was always prompt and communicative. We came home to a very happy dog who had gotten lots of attention and love while we were away!”

About: Growing up around animals, I have great experience with multi species under my belt! I hope I can meet your pet soon! Thank you much I work full time with a fur baby at home (a one eyed tuxedo cat)…I am free on weekends if needed, can be very flexible I live in a one bedroom apartment, but that doesn’t mean I'm not engaging! My cat ruby has plenty of toys and attention to feel loved

“Janet helped us out in a pinch and did a great job. Our dog was well cared for and we received great updates. I would reccommend her services.”

James G.

“Gabby was awesome! Totally trust her to come back and watch the pups!”

Kevin M.

“Meghan was awesome!! This was our first time spending the long weekend at our home with our two pups. She took them on long walks, checked in often with photos and was very respectful of our house too- even doing dishes and laundry (thank you Meghan!) one of our pups is a little anxious but Meghan was very attentive and caring and made sure to check in about anything that I didn’t leave a note about. An excellent experience! Will definitely book with Meghan again ?”
