“Maria is so kind and thoughtful with both the pet and pet parent. She has a gentle nature that’s great for pets with anxiety. I would be happy to work with her again.”


“Bria was fantastic. This was our first time booking with her and the meet and greet went smoothly. She took excellent care of both Hampton and Neko and kept our home clean and tidy. We felt completely at ease while we were away. We are already looking forward to having her sit for us again soon. Highly recommend.”


“Kathleen took great care of our senior cat and our home. She navigated some technical challenges with our alarm system with professionalism and good humor. Highly recommend. Will definitely re-book.”


“Pre took wonderful care of my house and my two pups. I knew we’d be a great fit from the moment we met, and she went above and beyond during her time with them. She was very supportive and attentive with my girls, and I felt completely at ease knowing they were in her hands. I’d absolutely book with her again!”


“Amanda was so incredible! She was responsive and took the best care of our pups! Amanda was kind and helped take care of the house while we were away by bringing in the mail without asking and also taking the time to ensure things were left better than she found it. THANK YOU, Amanda! It is such a joy to work with you and I cannot recommend her enough! I 100% will book with Amanda again! (:”


“Zana was great! Kept me informed of how the dogs were doing over the course of the stay and ensured the house and animals were well looked after. Would recommend.”


“Amy was amazing! She took incredible care of my 4 little ones, including my special needs dog, while I traveled for a long, stressful weekend. She gave regular updates and clearly cared for my pets like her own. I couldn’t be happier!”



“This was my first time having Jackie house sit and care for my two loving, energetic doggies. She is amazing. She made sure that I had a carefree vacation sending me pics and updates which put my mind at ease while I was away. She was very attentive and genuinely interested in providing the best care for my babies in my absence. I came home to a clean home and happy doggies. If I could give her 6 stars I would.”


“Jessica was wonderful to have house sitting our two shibas. She was kind and communicative, and she played with them and shared photos regularly. We would love to book her again!”


“Asia took great care of our pup, Juniper, as well as our house. She was really helpful and responsive to our messages. Our flights kept changing and Asia was flexible and made sure Juniper wouldn’t be left alone too long waiting, especially while there were thunderstorms (which scare Juniper). We came home to a happy healthy pup!”


“Victoria is absolutely amazing! I’ve hired her multiple times and she takes incredible care of my pets. My cat who is usually very shy warmed up to her and even sat on her lap! He doesn’t do that with anyone but me which speaks volumes of how caring Victoria is and how safe he feels around her. She is the best sitter and I highly recommend her!”


“Michael is great! We did bi weekly walks prior to his stay so he could develop a relationship with my very anxious dog. He is great with her, communicates well, and was very professional. I will definitely book him again!”


About: NOTE: BASED OUT OF BURLINGTON, VT FOR THE COLLEGE SEASON I’ve owned and cared for dogs, cats, and everything in-between for as long as I can remember. From pit-bulls to terriers, handicapped chickens to one eyed kittens and animals with at least 8 legs, i’ve seen it all. Apart from caring for my own dogs, cats, and other pets over the years, I did freelance petsitting and dog walking in and around my neighborhood for around seven years, ranging from dog walks while the owner was at work, to late night cat feedings and prescription medication administration, to trying to give a rabbit a bath. I have a high level of experience caring for both puppies/kittens and elderly dogs and cats, having worked to foster puppies and kittens with my local ASPCA for nearly a decade as well as helped raise and train one of my family dogs, and care for my elderly, disabled dog in her later years. I also have background training with the ASPCA regarding animal safety (specifically reactive or defensive dogs) and basic dog and cat body language, crucial aspects of keeping everyone involved healthy and happy! I’m currently a college student home for the summer- my schedule is very open and very flexible, depending on the individual needs of the animal. I can match whatever level of energy your pet needs within the home- whether it be constant cuddles and attention, hours of playtime, or just an omniscient hand filling the food bowl and grabbing the leash! I’m comfortable administering oral or topical medications, able to control and crate dogs if the need arises, and (i’d like to think) i’ve learned some pretty good strategies to stop unwanted barking late at night over the years. I value the mental and physical comfort of the animal i’m caring for first and foremost, whether that means hands on attention or a more quiet, calm approach to time spent with your pet. I’m willing to care for and spend time with shy or reactive dogs as long as they’re within my size range. Having owned both a very senile, timid dog and a very reactive, defensive dog, it’s important to me that they receive the amount of care and attention in the home they deserve :)

“Jeff went above and beyond! We needed a last minute house sitter for our 2 dogs for one night and Jeff came in clutch. He was communicative and kept our dogs happy and active. He even watered our plants 😀 10/10 would recommend!”



“Allison took great care of my dog over the past year. She was a walker and sitter. She was attentive to his daily needs including medications. I highly recommend Allison!”



“Amaya was amazing with our puppy! He’s a large breed and can be a lot to manage and she was excellent with him. She was attentive to our texting/check-ins and sent pictures and updates often. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!”


“Emma did a fantastic job with Reese. She was very easy to communicate with and quick in responding to the sitting request. She was arrived on time and was friendly. Reese and Emma had a great time together. I would recommend Emma and will definitely book her for future needs.”

She was careful to take detailed instructions about their habits and needs and asked about things that we had forgotten to mention.
