About: My home is filled with animals from dogs, cats, even a bird. I’ve owned small to xl dogs and been with them since they were puppies to grown dogs. Same way with my cats and would love to help with yours :) I’m currently unemployed however I will be starting a part time job soon so I would have plenty of time to play and care for all animals. I will be more than willing to follow all rules you have set for your home and the animals inside of it, along with special requests.

About: I’ve taken care of and had my own dogs and cats for over 20 years. My current dogs are 2 and 9 so I have a wide range of recent experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs. I’m a therapist in training currently so I’m very pro communication and I’m happy to set expectations with you early and keep lines of communication open throughout my time with your pet. My schedule is very flexible especially over the summer, I’m currently studying for my PhD and can pop over for a walk, a feeding, a bathroom break, or just a visit. Especially this summer without classes I can work with you and your schedule. I have two dogs and a cat myself. I think I love them probably more than anything else in this world. In our home we love and respect our pets making sure they feel comfortable and confident and safe. We live in a quiet neighborhood with a fenced in back yard, our dogs are walked 2x per day and have bones and lick mats several times per week. I think mutual respect between us and pets is incredibly important and I always want them to live a life as full as possible.

About: I've had the joy of caring for pets and homes through house sitting, making sure every furry friend feels safe, loved, and spoiled while their humans are away. From cuddles and playtime to feeding, walks, and gentle routines, I treat each pet like my own. I also keep the home cozy, clean, and cared for; watering plants, bringing in mail, and making sure everything feels just as warm and welcoming as when their owners left. Hi! I’m a warm, reliable, and attentive person who genuinely enjoys taking care of others and creating peaceful, well kept spaces. I’m known for being organized, gentle, and easy to trust, and I take pride in showing up with consistency and care. Whether it’s pets, homes, or people, I always bring patience, responsibility, and a loving touch to everything I do. I care for pets by following their usual routines as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. This includes feeding them on schedule, providing fresh water, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. I also pay close attention to their behavior and needs to make sure they stay happy and healthy while their owners are away. When I’m in a client’s home, I treat the space with the same respect and care as my own, keeping things clean, following any house instructions, and making sure the home stays safe and well looked after.

About: I’ve been taking care of and walking neighbors dogs since I was in middle school, I still remember their names and their favorite ways to play. I’ll be in the state for about a month and during that time I am nearly completely free for helping out with helping out in any way I can. I’m always respectful to house rules and have always been good at judging a dogs mood as well as being able to deal with an animals behavior in a positive way.

About: I’ve been an animal lover ever since I was younger. I grew up with cats which is where my love for animals began. The independence of cats but also the big role they play in a family is what makes them amazing. They each have their own personality which I enjoy seeing come out. When I moved back home I lived in a house with no animals which is what got me into fostering. I fostered a dog for a year. By the time that year mark hit I decided he was meant to be with me, so now I’m a proud dog mom. I couldn’t imagine living in a home without a pet. I have experience with administering medicine, training and dog introductions. I love to bring dogs on adventures outside. My dog is trained off leash and prefers that when in an area where it is allowed. I am currently a bartender. This means I work late hours, normally from 4:30-9pm. Please note that night time walks would not happen until 9:00-9:30pm Tuesdays and Thursdays-Saturdays. I am looking for both long-term set schedules and anything in between. I have a yard that my dogs love to just hang out and smell all the smells. We also love adventuring on local trails in the area.

About: I currently work full time as a veterinary technician and have years of experience with all types of animals. I also grew up on a farm and currently work on a horse farm as a hobby in my free time. I throughly enjoy pet sitting and spoil them as if they are my own. My favorite part of the job is meeting new people, their pets & all the different personalities i get to enjoy. I want to make your pets as comfortable & happy as possible while you’re away. I stick to their daily routines to have some normality while you’re gone. I have a lot of knowledge with animals and their health. I’ll be able to take care of your pet daily and if there is any emergencies or issues, I’ll know how to safely handle them. I’m also comfortable administrating medications. My schedule is pretty consistent each week. Each work day is typically 8 hours long but some days are shorter than others. Depending on location, lunch time breaks are available! My biggest responsibility is safety; keeping your pet safe while happy is my top priority. This goes for while on walks, adventures or even just bathroom breaks. As well as any sickness that may come up while you’re gone. Being a veterinary technician, i can realize a sickness sooner than others and know the right course of action.

About: I’ve loved animals my entire life and would love to be a companion for your pets! Young to senior, low to high energy I’m there! I also have experience with reactive dogs, as my girl Olive is still finding her confidence as a previous stray and working on her leash reactivity! I work full time as a registered nurse and have every Monday off and then every other week off. I’m pretty flexible! Let me know what you need! Although I can’t care for your pets in my home, I can offer dog-walking, drop in playtime/hangouts, enrichment games and even take your pup hiking if you’d like!

About: Dog obedience training certified and in love with all types of animals from dogs to cats and small animals. I highly enjoy walking dogs and spending time with your furry friends. I like to get as much information about your fur babies to provide the best care and fun that can possibly be granted. I train with lots of positive energy, confidence, and reinforcement to push your pets to learn and be the best companions they can be. Dogs enjoy my positive outlook on life and seem to instantly connect with me which allows me to train and walk/care for them in the best ways. I love my work with dogs and I hope to see you and walk, train, and care for your furry pals soon.

About: I’ve had dogs for my entire life! I’ve been dog ansitting for neighbors as well as family since I was 14. I am a total animal lover and look forward to being around them. I’m also a medical studying student for those who may need elderly dog or just general care. I’ve also been a house sitter for families in my general area for very long. I’m currently a student however I do not have classes MWF so I am available throughout those days! I also get out of class at 4 PM on TTH so I have evenings then. My weekends are typically always free. I also need to unwind under my classes so it’s perfect to find a hobby and job doing something I love to aid that! I do not have any dogs living with me in VT currently but I have a TON of play and yard space for dogs!! I am someone that will always be keeping a close eye. I’m very responsible and I pride myself on that!!

About: I promise to keep your fur baby safe and happy as can be while you're away. I will provide playtime, walks, cuddles and a lot of attention. I am very interactive and not afraid to be goofy in order to make a genuine connection with your pet. Don't be afraid to leave me detailed instructions- I get it and have fur and feathered babies of my own! I am able to walk up to 2 to 3 big dogs at a time and feel confident in my abilities to give commands and appropriate rewards/disciplines. If your pet(s) gets dirty, I will bathe them as well as clean up any messes that occur. I also will keep your home sweet home neat and tidy so you never come home to a mess. I have grown up with pets and have always owned one or two.. okay, maybe 3 at a time. I make genuine connections with animals (wild ones, too) and would love to give them the opportunity to get outside all season long (even in the winter). If your pet would like an adventure buddy and companion who will distract them from your absence then give me a shout. Feel free to contact me with questions and concerns. I would be more than happy to chat with you!
