“This is my second time using Nicole, and I can’t say enough good things about her taking care of my dog. She is so reliable, and I can tell my dog had the best time. I highly recommend her for pet care!”

“Holly fed our two cats twice a day for a few days and was amazing! She spent extra time ensuring they were well loved and sent update pictures each visit. She was easy to communicate with and we highly recommend her!”

About: I have pet sit dogs and cats many times for my family. Pets have always been a part of my family, mostly dogs and also sometimes cats. Also at one point an aquarium of fish. Currently I do not have any pets of my own because they are not allowed in the rental lease. I also know of some of the natural area trails and parks in the nearby area that would be good to take dogs for a walk at. My current schedule for pet care can be fit to a wide range of times most days. Other current work activities are mainly involving the start of a small farm type business and volunteer work. I make sure that safety is always a priority and taken into account, one of the main areas of focus being to keep any doors monitored and closed so that a pet does not go outside by accident. Also keeping awareness of any food or other objects in a client's home that a pet could get to by accident.

“Hannah was so kind, professional, and excellent in her care for our Bird girl. Highly recommend and will use her again!”

“Kristy was great! My cats are shy to strangers but they warmed up to her before the end of the week. My kitties were well cared for. I received a note and multiple pictures of my babies daily. She was very prompt and reliable and followed the instructions I left. She also brought in my mail and watered my plants. I will definitely reach out to her again when I need a petsitter again.”

About: I’ve taken care of pets since childhood, specifically 3 dogs that were very much a part of the family. I’ve house and pet sat for multiple family members and friends including overnights with dogs and drop ins for cats. My friends all have pets (cats and dogs) and I’m no stranger to how different pets can be in different environments. I’ve been with dogs that are leash only and outdoor. I’m a homebody, so outside of work hours, I often will be hanging around in the evening. I’m available overnight stays Saturday - Monday. Walks and drop-ins anytime Mondays and Tuesdays 2-6:30 pm. Wednesday - Fridays I’m available for walks and drop-ins 6-7:30pm. In a client’s home, I make sure to pay close attention to a pet’s routine, how things are done and what makes them most comfortable. Really making sure things are smoothly done and calm.

“Lou was great! We had a nice meeting to show him around before we left, then he visited our cats and chickens as scheduled while we were gone. I really liked getting text updates after each visit. Will definitely use him again when we travel.”

Catherine S.

“Once again Alisha has done an amazing job looking after our two cats! She follows directions to a T and is always super communicative. Our cats seem to love her as well. Will definitely be booking again.”

James R.

“Thank you so much for going above and beyond for a drop-in visit. I’m sure the dogs all enjoyed some extra time outside and on a walk!”

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.

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!:)

About: I have owned animals my whole life and love working with them. I have experience training young dogs and I know how to accommodate senior dogs. I work at a Vets office and love every minute of it! I am available Tuesday-Thursday and Saturdays after 5pm and Sunday, Monday and Fridays are open availability. If close by, I am able to do a drop in visit in the middle of my work day, please let me know in advanced. I would prefer not to have animals at my home due to my animals. Although, I am very comfortable caring for animals in your home.

About: I have years of experience caring for dogs and enjoy figuring out how each dog thinks, why they do what they do, and what they need to be happy! I've boarded single dogs, and I've done overnight stays in-house with 18 dogs at once! I also have experience with all types of medicine administration. Sadly at this time I can only watch female dogs! I have an allergy to the dog allergen Can F 5 which is only found in male dogs. Hope to start allergy shots soon! I'm also a fan of training for those who are trying to train their pups, or don't mind me doing so. Our corgi now knows the following commands: Clean up your toys (she puts them into her toy box), Wipe your paws, Speak, Go to bed, Do yoga (stretch), Spin, Belly (roll over), Snout (put your collar on), Down, Stay, and more! I am completely available for your dog- I work from home as a writer and have very few meetings or obligations throughout the day, which means I get to spend all day with my own Corgi and your dog will be well-cared for! I have a fenced yard, a great neighborhood for twice daily walks, and a very large crate for sleeping if they prefer crate sleeping. We have one spayed 1-year-old dog and one 12 year old male cat who ignores dogs unless he's cuddling with ours.

About: Having 21 years of personal pet care experience, both on and off of a farm, I have general knowledge of dog obedience training, socialization training and general grooming of both dogs and cats. I am always willing to learn new things, especially for the sake of the animals that I am responsible for, as well as encourage them to have fun, feel loved and know that they are always in the best care! I have high standards for myself in this regard, so you can always expect that your pet will be in the best hands. Not only that, but you can also count on my loving your furry friend as my very own. I work full time, Monday - Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM; I take hour long lunch breaks, traveling home to care for my pup and taking care of business in between. Weekends are open, within reason, and I am willing to modify my schedule for the right person and pet. I will follow clients’ specific guidelines on how to care for their pet(s), observing and reporting anything and everything that occurs during each visit. Routine and consistency is everything, and I will follow these to a “T”!

“Amanda was great! She helped us out last minute on a holiday and was super patient with my dogs, particularly the shy one. I will definitely call her next time we need someone to check in on them.”

Meghan C.

“Alexandra was terrific! We were so happy she was able to take care of our poochies for us while we were out of town, and we were especially delighted that she bonded with our older dog, who is not fond of many people. We really appreciated her reassuring communications. Five stars!”

Moira E. D.

“Laurie did a fantastic job with Stella! She communicated with us was very professional and went above and beyond to take care of Stella! Laurie is very knowledgeable and friendly! We will ask for Laurie’s help again. I would highly recommend her.”

Gene M.

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Mara. She did twice daily drop ins and walks with my 3 Australian shepherds and kitty in my camper and followed all my crazy routines/ niche camper instructions to a T. She was timely, communicative and I know my babies were loved on in my absence. My trip ended up being delayed >30 hours and ended up with 3 additional checkins. Mara and her flexibility are the only reason I stayed sane throughout my ordeal- knowing above all my family was taken care of. 10/10. I would recommend Mara to anyone looking for peace of mind any time they need to leave town!”

About: I have been a dog owner for the past twenty years and can honestly say I could not live without them! They have so many endearing qualities: fun loving, patient, non-judgemental, the list goes on and on. My promise to you is to treat your dog with the utmost respect and care that he or she deserves. After all, they are family. I am available weekday mornings and most weekends. I can offer play time, companionship, walks around town and general TLC. I can promise you your dog will not find a better friend, other than you of course! I can also help with dogs that have special needs. When my dog was a puppy he suffered a broken leg and he had a pin in his hip for quite some time. I nursed him back to health with the vets guidance. The bottom line is I will take care of your pooch!
