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.
“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!”
“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!”
“Emily was awesome! She was super attentive and quick at responding. I felt super comfortable with her looking after my Earl! My cat and my roommate’s cat loved her and we will definitely be rebooking next time we are out of town!”
“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.”
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!:)
“Hannah was so kind, professional, and excellent in her care for our Bird girl. Highly recommend and will use her again!”
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 am the go to person in our development for house and pet sitting. I have dealt with dogs and cats my whole life. I have expertise with puppies and kittens to senior animals. I have experience administering meds. I am currently stay at home mom to elementary and middle school kiddos so I have wide flexibility and open to clients needs. I am open to do what is needed to help owners. I will follow clear expectations from owners that are written down and talked about. This will depend on the animals and clients as every situation is different.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life, but in the past year have expanded my experience to include all sorts of animals, from goats to geckos to rabbits to a snail. I’m a daycare teacher by day and am looking to fill my evenings and weekends with quality animal time! I’m available for late afternoon/evening walks, weekend visits, and house sits depending on timing and location. Available after 4:30 most weekdays and on weekends! I work during the day, but may be able to handle morning visits depending on your location. Let me know what your need is and I’ll see what I can do! I live in a small apartment with my cat, so I’d prefer to care for your animal at your home. I love doing overnight housesits when I’m available! I feel this is the most comfortable option for your pet to feel safe around a new person.
“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.”
“Shelby worked with us on short notice and went above and behind taking great care of our little guy. We would definitely use her again!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover and caretaker my whole life. I have novice vet tech experience and I’m not afraid of the feisty ones, either! I’m working full time but my shift ends at 1 pm, so I am available for afternoon walks, play sessions, and pet/house sitting as needed. I like to have fun with my furry friends. I’m not afraid to get down and dirty, or even rough when the zoomies come out.
“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.”
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”!
About: I grew up on a small hobby farm with goats, chickens, horses, dogs and cats. When I was younger I helped train 2 Border Collie/Australian Sheppard mix puppies. I have a good sense of what animals need and am very patient and loving with all animals. I have a infant daughter who will be accompanying me with most my drop in visits. She will be in a backpack while I take care of your furry friend. I am available most mornings, nights and weekends. I love being outside and love being around animals. I am active, friendly, and responsible. I can't wait to take care of your pet and give it love and attention. Looking forward to meeting you and your pet! I am flexible! I have little ones (2 young daughters) but they will be able to come with me on occasion and they are also pet lover themselves. I have a fenced in yard if needed and love going on long walks and hikes. We would get lots of play time in and happy to bring my dog along for companion if wanted.
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
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!
