Cat Sitting Stilesboro

About: I've spent over 14 years immersed in the pet world, from working as an assistant manager at Pet Supermarket to running two pet-focused blogs (The Chesnut Mutts and Healing Whiskers) covering pet product reviews and small animal therapy training. I'm a longtime dog owner, grew up with cats, a former therapy rat handler, and have hands-on experience with everything from fish to farm animals. Pets aren't just something I care for- they're something I've built my career and passions around! I work from home with flexible hours, which means I have plenty of free time throughout the day to check in on your pet. I can be flexible with timing to fit your pet's routine and your schedule, whether that's a quick midday visit or something later in the evening. I treat every home I visit with the same respect and care I'd want for my own. I always follow your instructions closely, whether that's feeding schedules, medication, or specific routines your pet is used to. Throughout each visit, I stay attentive to your pet's behavior and physical condition, watching for any signs of illness, injury, or changes that could signal a medical concern. If anything seems off, I'll let you know right away so there are no surprises when you get home. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet and your home are in good hands.

“Thank you for helping me at the last minute and being so sweet and amazing with her!!!”

“Meaghan has checked in on our cat Olive a few times now. I know when Meaghan is looking after our fur-baby that she is being well cared for. She sends updates with messages and pictures, which puts my mind at ease while I am away. I feel comfortable having her come into our home while we're away knowing that things will be exactly as they were when we left them. Thank you for your work, Meaghan!”

“Ethan went above and beyond to care for our 2 dogs when a medical incident occurred. Their communication was consistent and frequent throughout our entire vacation. We would happily book with them again and feel like our dogs were safe and loved in their care!”

About: Hello! My name is Jessica. I am a true animal lover, but as a pet parent I know there is more to caring for an animal than love alone. As a military veteran, I bring discipline, reliability, and 14 years of hands-on experience caring for animals in all of the ways they deserve. From training puppy’s to seniors, house sitting and daycares, to veterinary care I have a strong comprehensive knowledge of pet care. I offer a unique experience, including live viewing so you can watch your pet enjoy their playtime. My journey began working with farm animals in 2012, then quickly transitioned to specialized dog and cat care. Where I began training dogs; guiding them through basic obedience courses, hunting, as well as behavioral modification. All the while house-sitting for my clients when they have gone out of town and walking their dogs while they were away at work. My most recent work with animals is veterinary care, giving me profound knowledge on the health and wellbeing of our furry friends. I have a strong expertise in working with anxious/timid dogs by building trust and security, as well as reading animal behavior to respect boundaries and build confidence. Throughout the years I have medicated dogs of all temperaments, breeds, and stages of life allowing the dog to feel most comfortable. The variety of my experience has given me well round knowledge of what it takes to care for these important members of our families The comfort that can come with knowledgeable care is incomparable. Pet care is part of my daily routine. I currently care for animals full time, therefore I’m able to maintain a consistent routine for feeding, bathroom breaks, and activity. I currently service pets in their own homes, I offer customized care plans to perfectly fit your pets needs where your dog feels the safest.

About: Animals have been a constant part of my life — I grew up with both dogs and cats, and I’ve continued caring for them throughout my adult life. Because of that, I understand the little things that make each pet unique: the routines they rely on, the quirks that make them who they are, and the kind of attention that helps them feel safe and loved. When I’m walking your dog or stopping in for a visit, I bring that same lifelong experience and patience. I’m comfortable with everything from playful puppies who need structure to senior pets who move at a slower pace. I’m also attentive to shy or anxious pets and take the time to earn their trust. What sets me apart is how personally I take the responsibility of caring for someone’s pet. I treat your animals the way I treat my own — with consistency, kindness, and genuine care. My goal is simple: when you’re away, your pet still feels at home. As an educator and high school football coach, I’m used to balancing responsibilities, managing time well, and showing up consistently for the people who depend on me. That same reliability carries over into the way I care for pets. With summer approaching, my schedule becomes even more flexible, giving me plenty of time for regular walks, drop‑in visits, and consistent routines for your pets. Even during the school year, my afternoons, evenings, and weekends are open, which makes it easy for me to fit pet care naturally into my week. Because I’ve always had dogs and cats of my own — both growing up and now in my adult life — caring for animals is already part of my daily rhythm. Whether it’s early‑morning walks, midday check‑ins, or evening visits, I’m able to give each pet the attention, structure, and comfort they’re used to. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, my goal is to keep their routine as familiar and stress‑free as possible. I know how much comfort pets get from being in their own space, so I make sure everything I do matches the rhythm they’re used to. I follow your instructions closely — feeding schedules, walk times, medications, crate routines, and any little quirks that matter to your dog or cat. I take the time to learn their personality, whether they’re energetic and playful, shy and slow to warm up, or somewhere in between. I make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and structure so they feel safe and cared for while you’re away. Because I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, both growing up and now as an adult, I’m comfortable handling all kinds of needs: puppy energy, senior care, anxious pets, or those who just want someone to sit nearby and keep them company. I also keep your home tidy, respect your space, and send regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

“Bailey did a great job with my cats! I highly recommend Bailey and River.com”

About: I’ve taken care of 6+ litters of puppies, the largest being 10 pups! I have cared for pets of all shapes and sizes from bearded dragons to Great Danes! I currently work part time so i have plenty of time to play with your pets! I can house sit whenever I’m not booked, and quick visits will usually be around 8 am and 8 pm. Pet care is entirely up to the owners! If there are specific instructions to pet care let me know and I’ll do my best to cater to your pets needs. I can crate pets if preferred as well.

“Great to meet you! Prompt, courteous, and reliable. Thank you so much for letting us enjoy our time away knowing that our pets are well taken care of.”

“Oh my goodness, I can't say enough about Jamie and what an amazing and wonderful sitter she is. Rover only allows me to give 5 stars but she is worth so much more. She is so caring and loving to your animal and so responsible and attentive to not only your pet, but your home and all that goes with it. Our boy absolutely adores her as do we! Oh, and she takes fantastic pictures and A LOT of them. That along with a very detailed and thorough rover report card make travel and being away from your pet so much more relaxing and enjoyable. Seriously, if you are looking for a sitter book her! I promise that you can't do better.”

Carmen C.

“Couldn’t ask for more! Gave the important details for updates and gave the pics I wanted. Even went the extra step to clean up after my dog when she didn’t have to. Looking forward to using Ashlynn on my future vacations!”

About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life and love to spend time with them! I have been trusted to watch pets belonging to family, friends, neighbors, etc. and would love to be trusted with yours! Pet care fits easily into my routine. I plan my day around feedings, walks, playtime, and making sure each pet gets consistent care and attention. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks or playtime, litter or potty care, and plenty of attention. I keep their environment clean and comfortable and provide updates to owners so they know their pet is happy and safe.

“What a wonderful young lady she is. I’m so happy that we have found her.”

About: I’ve have cared for dogs since a very young age. I’ve cared for dogs as small as Tea Cup to as big as Great Danes ! I currently work but have nothing going on after my every day job ! I love animals and taking care of them makes me happy I love all breeds and sizes. I will do what ever is needed of me and o take care of your beloved fur babies !

“Ashley was amazing. She went above and beyond. The first day she watched our dog he had a little bit of anxiety and she took her time and made him feel safe and loved. This was our first time leaving our dog with someone and Ashley made US and Declan feel so much less stressed. I would book her again and recommend her to anyone.”

About: I've been around dogs and cats my whole life and love spending time with both! Currently without a pet in my home so wanting to dedicate this season of life to loving others. I currently have a very flexible schedule as a stay at home mom, and have a few days where I'm completely free! I'm open to walking, playing, and/ or boarding your beloved furry friend! I have a large fenced in yard with no other pets currently. I do have two children under 5 that both adore dogs and cats alike! (I do ask that you choose a different provider if your animal is not used to small children).

“If there was an award to provide for the care that was provided, Cherie would be top winner! We would certainly book her again because of her timeliness, attention to detail and simply the care she gave our babies while away.”
