House Sitting in Stowe

About: As a former medical coordinator in mental health, busy coffee shop manager, mother to two adult boys and companion of a 14 year old dog, I can promise you your pet and home will be in loving hands. I have taken care of multiple friends pets over the years including one dog that was blind and another who had diabetes. You can be assured your pet will be taken care of with love and patience. My pup will stay home with his older brother while I pet sit. I do work 40 hours a week at a coffee shop in Waterbury, VT. If local, I can adjust my schedule as needed but will need a couple days where I will be gone about 8 hours or so. Love going for long walks in the morning and afternoon. In addition to loving going for walks, I've been able to follow specific requests that are more personalized for the pet and the homeowner. Whether that be specific times for walks, medications or unusual feeding routines I've got you covered.

“We were so lucky to get Giuli on a somewhat short notice. She took great care of our dogs and house - we're looking forward to booking her again!”

“Chad makes each stay with Gracie an enriching and fun experience for her while incorporating positive reinforcement training into every interaction. I've had multiple canine companions for many years but I always learn something new just by watching Chad interact with her. It's a pleasure and relief to leave home knowing everything is in Chad's capable hands. Chad is punctual, attentive, knowledgeable, and responsible, and he speaks dog (even husky). He provides informative and entertaining updates and we come home to a relaxed and content dog who is happy to see us but disappointed when Chad leaves.”

About: I have been fortunate enough to have grown up with dogs and then continue to own dogs for my entire life. While growing up we owned big dogs, little dogs, smart dogs, goofy dogs and everything in between. When I had a farm and family I continued the tradition of having all types, sizes and temperaments of dogs. I have been solely responsible for training, care and loving all these pups. To say I have learned a lot the old fashioned way would be an understatement. Currently,,I own six Australian Shepherds. I started a very small but very responsible breeding program in 2020. I would have one litter a year by different moms. After a lot of research and talking to different rescues I learned how this particular breed is very misunderstood and end up abandoned or turned over to shelters. I then immediately came to the conclusion I did not want to add to this situation but wanted to be part of the solution. I then turned my sights to rescuing. This has become my passion and I am still helping out Australian Shepherds Furever rescue 3 years later. I have raised pups for them and took the mothers as well. I have personally interviewed and filtered through possible adopters for the pups and the mothers when they were ready. I trained all of our puppies and continue the training processes with the fosters. I have also done some competing with my Aussies and have gained achievement rewards with them. I have a love and passion for all animals and respect each animal individually. Each one is different and learn, trust and love differently. It's this understanding that separates me from other individuals. I currently have 6 Aussies, three cats and all kinds of farm animals. My focus is mostly with the cats and dogs. I do work a full time job but when I'm at home I'm rotating dogs so each one can get the love, attention, stimulation and focus that they deserve. I am always working on training, repetition, and a schedule so days and nights run smoothly in the home. Every dog and cat gets the time and love that they deserve and seek. I'm looking to fill weekends currently and if it's close by I could pull off a week here and there to spend time with other's pets. During these times my other half is home and can show them the attention they need. We won't tell my other half but they enjoy mom time better... Wink wink While in a clients home and taking care of the clients fur babies I will keep the same schedule and routine that those fur babies are already use to. Additionally, if they need to be medicated I will follow those guidelines as well as any outdoor or exercise guidelines. The last thing that I want to do is upset those fur babies anymore than they may already be because mom and dad are gone. My goal is for those fur babies to become part of my large family of fur babies and except me as one of their own. HopefullyI will be liked and utilized enough by your family that me being there is like part of the family visiting.

“Madeleine was wonderful! She was very communicative and responsive. She sent us lots of pictures and kept us up to date on everything, including our snowy weather and slippery driveway conditions. It was clear from the pics and videos she sent that our dog really liked her and was very happy the whole time. She took great care of him and our home.”

“Linda was amazing. She kept our fur babies company while we were away and we were able to relax knowing they were in good hands.”

“Wendy was great with out little Frenchie puppy. We were in VT for the weekend and Wendy came to stay with Jax in our hotel while we went out for the evening. Jax took to Wendy right away. Will call her again if we are ever in VT again. Highly recommend Wendy”

About: I truly enjoy the opportunity to care for dogs of all ages and of all types. It’s not just a source of income, but something I truly enjoy. I frequently dog and house sit for family and friends, and look forward to doing the same for you. I currently have open availability to dedicate to taking care of your pups. I am happy to check in on them, take them for walks, make sure they are fed, provide overnight pet sitting (at your home). I had a pup of my own for fourteen years, but don’t have one at the moment. I look forward to the opportunity! I am available to walk, feed, and pet sit at your home. Long walks for exercise, spending time to be sure they are comfortable, whatever is required. I unfortunately do not have boarding at my home as the building I’ve lived in for nearly twenty years is designated a “historical landmark” and pets are prohibited.

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life! I currently have 2 cat of my own. I’m the go-to dog sitter for my entire family. Between my siblings and I, we have 7 cats and 2 dogs! I’m a local teacher with a lot of free time in the summer. I’ll take your dog on long walks or cuddle with your cats if needed! I am a local teacher and have the summers off. I’m out of school most days around 3pm. Perfect for an afternoon walk! My availability is flexible! My cats enjoy a quiet and cozy living space. My services include drop-ins or dog walking. The more I see your pet, the better chance we have at building a trusting relationship!

“Karolina was very communicative and responsive. She took good care of Skippy and our house while we were away. We would definitely book her again.”

“Pete was an amazing pet sitter 🤩 We visited Stowe with our special needs Frenchie and Pete came to our lodging and cared for her when we had plans that didn’t support a doggo tagging along. He kept us up-to-date on how she was doing, shared pictures, and made her as comfortable as possible while we were away. He was incredibly communicative prior to the booking, even offering suggestions of places to visit. And after the pet sitting service he loaned us ice spikes for a winter hike. Super nice guy. Highly recommend!”

“Janice was so kind to watch our dog Walter on short notice. She came over the day before for a meet and greet and to go over everything and I instantly knew she would be great with him. She sent us updates with photos and our dog was very happy! I will definitely be using Janice again when we need a dog sitter.”

“My very nervous kitty bonded with Fiona almost immediately, which never happens. I’m thankful he has someone he feels safe with when I’m not home.”

“Molly was a joy to meet, we were both instantly aware she was a great fit to pet sit our 4 fur babies - 2 cats 2 dogs - she's sweet, kind, warm, with a gentle spirit and my pets were immediately attached to her - my Corgi didn't leave her side the entirety of the meet and greet(s). She has amazing attention to detail and appreciated my very long and extensive 'note' of instructions! She never hesitated to take care of everything for the entire stay, and if she had a question she reached out. My home was exactly how it was left when we returned from our vacation, and my pets very happy and content. Also she's wonderful at sending pictures of my fur babies throughout the visit. I would definitely recommend Molly as a pet / house sitter!!”

“Sukhpran is a go to sitter for us. Our pups get walks, snugs and love. Our house is nearly always cleaner than when we leave. Highly recommended!”

About: I've owned and taken care of dogs my entire life. I'm proud to be one of the first people friends and family call when a petsitter is needed. I love walking, and I love dogs. This seems like the perfect opportunity to exercise and get my animal fix! I'm currently working full-time Monday through Friday. I can do evening walks after 5:00 PM (as weather allows) and I can do weekends between 9:00 AM - 6 PM. My current apartment doesn't allow pets, but I can housesit on weekends or in the evenings if the location is somewhat close to my work in Waterbury. I'm a long-time vegetarian, and have always had an extra sensitive heart when it comes to animals. I think that earning an animal's trust is such a privilege and gift, and I honor that. I cannot house pets in my current apartment, but I will follow the guidance and knowledge of the owners in their homes and while on walks.

About: We are Isa and Billy - newly weds living in Hershey who love adventures! We had dogs and cats in our lives since about 5 years old! We both grew up with multiple dogs (mostly labs) we now have a rescue of our own named Calla! She is a love bug who just wants to play and cuddle! We love training dogs and teaching them new tricks, we have experience with puppies and dogs in heat. If you want a loving couple who works from home to be with your pet while you are away, we are happy to help and take them on adventures! We go on dog walks 2-3 times per day, we also go for hikes or kayak rides on the weekends. We love taking our pup to the dog park too (only during off hours when there are max 2-3 dogs in the park) We have loads of beds and toys for pups to play with and be cozy in! We can feed and provide treats as often as you’d like since we work from home. We can provide baths, take dogs on runs, go swimming, etc! We have backgrounds in healthcare and can help with medicine administration and other medical pet needs.

“Alison did a great job with our two cats while we were away for a week. Very professional, understanding of feline behavior, and took the time to know them. We've asked her to come back & stay with Boo & Tyson when we do a short trip in September. I would recommend Alison to any pet parent.”
