“Margaret was perfect. She was very accommodating, easy to work with etc. It appears that our two cats liked her a lot and I think she liked them also. She sent several cute photos. She left the house very neat and clean. We were very lucky to find her on relatively short notice. We will certainly hire her again if our needs and her availability coincide in the future.”
“Great, consistent communication, sent photos of my Kitty daily, along with updates. My cat is very skittish around people but Sue was eventually able to pet her, which is a big win.”
“Ariana really came through for us when our usual sitter became unavailable at the last minute! Our dog and cat really seemed to like her and she kept the house neat and tidy during her stay. We really appreciated how much she kept in touch with us and shared photos of our happy critters. If the need arises, we will be happy to hire her again.”
About: I grew up with dogs for the majority of my life, and have always loved spending time with ALL animals, big and small! Additionally I have experience as a dog walker. I consider myself very caring with great attention to detail. I want you to know that your pet is in the best possible hands with me! I will will give them lots of love, pets and play time and follow your instructions verbatim! My schedule is fairly flexible, especially in the evenings! I can do drop in visits or house sit. I’m currently not able to board pets in my home. I have reliable transportation and can come to your home for a drop in, or pick your dog up and bring them for a walk or for a visit to a dog park! I know my way around many trail systems here in the upper valley and I’m always happy to take your dog for a hike!
About: My mother is a veterinarian with her own practice, so I grew up around an abundance of animals and know plenty about caring for them. My career allows me to choose my own schedule, I don't usually have shifts longer than 5/6 hours long. This allows me to take dogs out for walks or to a dog park, or I can just go home and hang out with my cat. I have a large fenced in yard with access to woods, plenty of local trails for dog walks, local lake of your dog likes to swim. Dogs and cats in my home, but there's a good sized guest bedroom that is kept closed of from the rest of my home if you have a pet that is less friendly with others.
“James is an awesome dog and house sitter! He took the dogs on great walks and sent us some adorable pictures while we were away. We came home to two happy, calm pups and a clean, orderly house. Highly recommend!”
“Anesa is great. She and Dexter got along famously. We appreciate that she took him on a hike and on playdates with other dogs over the weekend. She also gave us periodic photo updates which were greatly appreciated. We'll definitely rebook the next time we need a sitter!”
“Haley is very nice. She was very flexible when I needed to make a last minute change from a drop in to a full day. She sent me pictures all day and checked in periodically. I would highly recommend her.”
About: I raised/trained a puppy several years ago, and I've been pet sitting since I was 14. I am also a very active person, and I love running, walking, and playing outside with dogs. I have work shifts no more than a few hours on select days. If your dog cannot be alone for a few hours, I can almost certainly find a friend or family member to watch them while I am out. I am happy to house sit as well if you are on vacation. I will make sure your dog feels comfortable, well loved, and properly entertained. I am very trustworthy and diligent with regards to schedules and special instructions. If boarding, please bring an item from home that your dog feels connected to (could be a bed, favorite toy, blanket, etc).
“Ariel was amazing! Great communication, flexible to our needs and the needs of our pets, and left our place looking sparkly clean! We highly recommend booking with Ariel and will certainly use her services again in the future!”
“Danielle was absolutely amazing! We will continue to ask her to look after our pups for our future trips. She provided us with updates and didn’t mind at all that we had a lot of specific requests regarding the pups food etc. she took perfect care of them and kept them company so we didn’t have to worry at all about them while we were gone.”
About: I am a current medical student in the area who has had dogs around her for her entire life. I have experience with small, medium, and large dogs of all breeds. I am responsible and quick in an emergency. I am also familiar with lots of walking trails in the area! I am a 4th year medical student with a pretty open schedule. Reach out with any inquiries and I will try to accommodate your needs! For pet sitting, I am available to stay at your home to keep your pet company as well as take them outside as often as needed. I am respectful, responsible, and professional in all spaces.
About: I work remotely for an international development organization based in DC. My schedule is flexible, leaving me plenty of time to spend outdoors with some new furry friends! I have always loved taking care of dogs and come from a large, dog-owning family. I have extensive experience dog walking and sitting both small and large breeds, from Cavalier King Charles Spaniels to Labs to Bernese Mountain Dogs! I currently own a 4 year old white shepherd named Storm who loves to walk and play with other dogs. I am open to taking our pups on walks together, on trail hikes, or to the dog park. Available for daily walks, drop in visits, and dog sitting. I look forward to meeting you! Also open to discussing boarding in our home, pending meet and greet with my dog Storm. I work remotely from home, so I am flexible when taking care of dogs. Happy to work with you on a recurring schedule, or for one-time walks/visits! I work remotely full-time from home and my schedule is flexible. I take my dog, Storm, out for short (less than 30 min) and longer walks (over 1 hour) 2-3 times a day. We also enjoy using nearby trails, as well as the trails on our property. I currently live in a farmhouse in Royalton. There is no fenced in area, but we have trails on our property for dogs to walk (on leash) or run (depending on your comfort and their recall).
“Amazing! I am recommending to people who want their dogs well taken care of. Photos are wonderful when away from your pet and Kasey ensures you get regular updates if you like. I came home to them not realizing I was away.”
“Julia took great care of our cat. He develops urinary crystals from anxiety when he is left alone so it was important to have someone so caring be with him. Would highly recommend.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats and have done house sitting for 4 years. I love doing this kind of stuff. I can walk them, go for walks all that fun stuff. Im doing babysitting right now but can house sit whenever and can be with the dogs/cats whenever. I am always free to take them out whenever needed.

Lydia S.
“I have never met a more kind and caring individual in my life. I know that sounds quite extreme, but SOMEONE has to fill that role of people that we know in life, and Lydia is literally that person in mine. She seems to be a whisperer of all strays, misfits and displaced people and animals. Whether cats, bunnies, dogs, fishes, people, she exhibits no hesitation in giving love and care and kindness. She is well organized and physically fit and patient and is a wonderful and responsible carer; making sure everyone is well exercised, fed and watered. She also has no qualms about giving loving massages to even the dirtiest and stinkiest of fur babies. Calm of spirit and nature, Lydia is not just a caregiver, she acts as family and it was a pleasure to adopt and have been adopted by her in that capacity. She is a true gem!”
Olive T.
“Olive is my go-to dog and cat sitter. I have two Labrador Retrievers and two Maine Coon cats. My labs love her--she stays overnight (and lets the dogs cuddle in bed with her, which is their preference), walks the dogs, plays with them, and feeds the dogs and cats according to schedule. Olive's mother is my vet--which leaves me to believe that Olive knows how to manage and handle dogs by osmosis! She is very dependable, leaves my home tidier than it was when I left, and communicates with me (texts and photos) while I am away.”

Suchi J.
“Suchi has taken care of my two dogs many times and she is the most responsible and loving pet sitter there is. Both of my dogs are high needs and require daily medication, she was extremely attentive to their needs and made sure they were both comfortable. She goes above and beyond to provide a happy environment for pets and make them feel at home. I would absolutely ask Suchi to watch my dogs again.”
Laura R.
