“Anna gave a great deal of attention to my nearly 17yo cockapoo who was blind and in diapers 24/7 the last yr. He had gotten down to 7 lbs from 16 but still spent every waking moment on the prowl for food. When I found out I had colon cancer that required surgery ASAP i took a couple days reading boarders profiles and reviews before choosing Anna. We talked extensively about peanut 2x before boarding. She got back yo me fast when contacted and sent daily video updates. As Peanut has severe separation anxiety, I was concerned but had to board him and I choose well! Anna is sweet, sensative, caring, & attentive to the animal. I would highly recommend her no matter your dog’s needs. Shes the best!”
“Daniela did a wonderful job with my dog, Troy. She sent pictures of him playing, he seemed very happy and enjoying time with her and her dogs. I’ll definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter for their pets.”
“Very caring and very professional. I knew when I met her that my dog was in good hands. He’s never been away overnight with someone else. He handled it well because it’s obvious she loves animals and knows how to take care of them. Highly recommend.”
“Adam was wonderful with Scout! I was a little nervous about boarding him since he usually stays with family, but Adam and his family truly made it feel like he was staying with relatives of his own. He sent regular updates and pictures throughout Scout's stay, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Every photo showed Scout looking happy, comfortable, and cozying up to everyone. It was clear he was getting plenty of attention and affection. When we picked Scout up, he was happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. Adam made it so easy to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing Scout was in great hands. We're incredibly grateful for the care he provided and would absolutely trust him with Scout again in the future!”
“Glenn was absolutely the best. He kept us updated with pictures of our two dogs and showed how comfortable they felt with each other. One of my dogs is a ball of energy so that they had patience with him is great and reassuring. Will definitely like to use their services again. They really help our family relax when away from our two pups.”
“Laura watched our treeing walker coonhound while we went to Myrtle Beach for a long weekend. She sent regular pictures so we knew Copper was doing well and having fun! She was also very accommodating about drop off and pickup times, which was truly appreciated. Also, Copper is still young and can be quite a handful and she was patient and loving with him. I HIGHLY recommend Laura! Thank you!”
“Sarah is absolutely wonderful and a lifesaver. She was able to take care of my Minks(cat) for several days after she was recently fixed. She kept me updated and sent pictures. Minks was perfectly comfortable in her home and she took excellent care of her.”
“Cheyenne took great care of Marge! Updated us what photos and stories. Took her for several long walks and trips to the park. If you want an amazing sitter, look no further than Cheyenne. We will be returning to her again soon.”
“I just can’t say enough about Karen and Donald. They treat your fur baby like royalty! I get the idea that my Jax would want to live with them. He can’t wait to get in their house whenever he goes there on a vacation. Don’t hesitate to leave your fur baby with Karen and Donald. They are the best!”
About: I've been professionally caring for pets for over four years through my home-based pet sitting business, Yech's Pet Haven. I am also a licensed boarding facility, giving pet parents added peace of mind that their dogs are staying in a safe and compliant environment. During that time, I've cared for dogs of all ages, breeds, and sizes, including puppies, seniors, and pets with special routines or medications. I have experience safely managing multiple dogs, supervising playtime, and making sure every pet receives the individual attention they deserve. Growing up surrounded by animals, including dogs, horses, and goats, has given me a lifelong understanding of animal behavior and care. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, low-stress environment where every pet feels right at home while you're away. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine. Since I run a home-based boarding facility, I am able to provide frequent attention, potty breaks, playtime, walks, and supervision throughout the day. I keep my boarding numbers small so each pet receives personalized care and plenty of one-on-one attention. My schedule is built around making sure every dog feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while their family is away. I provide a safe, calm, and loving home environment where pets can relax and feel comfortable. As a licensed boarding facility, I prioritize cleanliness, safety, and responsible pet care. I carefully manage introductions, supervise interactions, and separate pets during meals, rest time, or whenever needed. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and individual preferences, so they feel right at home.
“Adriana was very kind and loving to Gigi who is a special needs Frenchie. She sent photos many times during her stay and provided day by day feedback to reassure me that Gigi was in good hands. She took excellent care of Gigi. Thank you Adriana”
“Lisa was great and took care of my pup! I had never left her for so long and it was comforting knowing she was in good hands. She sent updated throughout and I know she was well taken care of.”
About: Hi! I'm a pre-vet student at UVM with a lifelong passion for animals and hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and sizes. Back home, I help care for my family's pack of four pups — a sweet Yorkie and three energetic Dachshunds (ages 13 to just 7 months). I've also raised cats and hope to one day have a Golden Retriever and Australian Shepherd of my own! Whether your dog needs a midday walk, weekend company, or just some extra love while you're away, I bring patience, enthusiasm, and a future-vet’s dedication to every visit. I’m looking to build even more experience with animal care during the school year, and would love to be part of your pet’s routine! Let’s chat — I’d love to meet your furry family! I’m currently a full time student, but I have pretty much all of the day available on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and full availability on the weekends! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. At home, I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and I’m experienced with using kennels when needed — especially for puppies who benefit from structure. I always make sure pets get plenty of exercise, attention, and love, including regular walks and playtime. I’m also confident transporting pets in the car, making sure they’re secure and calm. I treat every animal like my own, and I’m committed to creating a stress-free, loving environment wherever they are.
About: I’ve had animals in my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up there’s always been at least 1 dog and cat in our home. My fiancé and I currently have two pups of our own, including one with epilepsy, so I’m comfortable with medications, special care, and making sure pets feel safe and loved. I’ve cared for animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and my goal is always to become your pet’s new best friend (with plenty of treats, walks, belly rubs, and a few silly conversations along the way). I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they get all the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away! I work a hybrid schedule, so on the days my calendar shows I’m available, I’m working from home and have plenty of flexibility throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, playtime, meals, and lots of attention. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I treat them like they’re my own. I know how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable, so I try to keep their normal routine as much as possible — same feeding schedule, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications, and plenty of love and attention. In my home, pets become part of the family! I have two pups of my own, so I understand the importance of making sure everyone feels comfortable, supervised, and included. I’m happy to provide a calm environment with lots of playtime, cuddles, and attention. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping things familiar and stress-free. I follow your instructions closely, keep your pets on their usual schedule, send updates and pictures, and make sure you come home to happy, well-cared-for pets.

“We had a wonderful experience with Andrew and would absolutely recommend him! From the start, his communication was excellent; he was responsive, reliable, and kept us updated throughout our time away, which gave us so much peace of mind. Andrew was incredibly professional and took great care of our two cats. It was clear that he was attentive to their individual needs and genuinely cared about making sure they were comfortable and well cared for while we were gone. We came home to two happy cats and everything exactly as it should be. It can be nerve-wracking using a new sitter for the first time, but Andrew made the entire experience easy and stress-free. We felt completely comfortable having him care for our cats and will be happily booking him in the future!”
“Jennifer was AMAZING! She was so loving with our kitty and sent the cutest pictures. It helped so much on our first trip away from her. I would recommend her 10/10! She was terrific!”
“Ashley always takes great care of our cat, sends the cutest photo, and updates us on how she’s doing. Our cat loves her (and we’re always glad we can rely on her to take good care of her when we’re away).”
“Jill was amazing! She was very thorough with ensuring she covered all of Izzy’s routine while she was here. She communicated with me the whole time and gave me updates. I also felt very comfortable having her stay at my home. We will definitely be using Jill again to care for our kitty!!”
“Robyn was great! Spent time with my 2 cats and sent at least 5 pictures on each visit for me. When I returned home, they were both looking healthy and happy. Also still having plenty of food in their bowls.”
“Adam watched my cats this weekend (two drop-in visits) for the first time; he was fantastic and exceeded all my expectations! He showed up exactly at the arranged times and texted me 11 pictures each visit which not only showed me my beloved cats, but also showed me that all of the necessary tasks we had discussed previously had been completed (ie a picture of a cleaned litter pan, a picture of a food plate arranged with medication, etc). And bullet items for each cat such as if poop and or pee was found in the litterpan. I highly recommend Adam and will definitely be using his services in the future! Thank you Adam!”
“Amanda is fantastic with my cats! She has great communication, and goes above and beyond to care for my pets. As always, it was a pleasure to book her services, and I will definitely re-book in the future!”
“Anna was so great watching our two cats. Very communicative and went above and beyond to ensure my cats were comfortable. Will book with Anna every time we are out of town!”
“Kimberly was great for my three cats. We came up with a time that worked for both her and the cats and she was even willing to come an extra day which turned out to be a snow storm. Instructions were followed perfectly and the place was well taken care of. Great experience.”
About: I grew up with dogs and cats as pets, so have lifelong experience caring for animals. My family owned a small farm for a period of time, so I also gained experience with horses in addition to cats and dogs. We owned a German Shepard and a cockapoo, so I do have direct experience with both smaller and larger dogs. In high school, I took 4 years of animal science, which further advanced my knowledge of pets and gave me hands on experience in a pre-veterinarian science atmosphere. I plan on returning to school in the near future to further my studies in the animal sciences field and pursue a career as a Veterinarian Technician. I have had a life full of loving animals and live to care for them any way I can.
About: I know leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful. My goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll send photo updates, follow your pet’s routine closely, and treat them like they’re my own 🐾❤️ I’m currently a senior high school student that has lots of free time after school so doing pet care after my school business will be no such problem at all! Every since I was young I’ve always had love for animals and now that I can willingly take care of them for people I’m need of help I’m super excited to show the skills and care I offer to their pets!
“May did a fantastic job with my pets while I was gone. I have two large dogs and four cats. She eased all my anxiety while I was away. Would definitely recommend her and use her services again”
“Melissa is beyond a 5 star sitter!! I was very anxious leaving my 2 labs while I went away for a few days. Melissa had a meet and greet with them and answered all my questions. I was SO relieved! She sent pictures twice a day which kept me reassured the pups were doing well. She went above and beyond!!”
“I felt so at ease! Daniela and her daughter made sure to provide updates and pictures! They are so warm and welcoming and Midnight loves them! I will certainly be booking with Daniela again and highly recommend her services!”
About: I’ve always been an animal lover! I started dog-sitting in high-school and it’s been my favorite job so far. I’ll also care for your kitties & home! I work days M-F but love hanging out with your pets on evenings & weekends! I occasionally offer overnights when I know my own pups are accounted for. I am very attentive to the pets I watch, and like to make sure they’re feeling safe & comfortable, even when their owners are away. Lots of happy energy!
About: Hi there! I can walk far distances and I get along with dogs well! I live next to a walking trail so it is perfect for a nice walk, dogs love it! I also live next to some parks so I can play with your dog to blow off some steam so they are less destructive later! I clean up after any messes and will keep your dog hydrated and happy. I can handle breeds both big and small with ease. Not willing to handle aggressive dogs, sorry! Leash trained dogs are preferred. I hope to be able to walk your dog soon! Avaliable rain, shine, and even snow! Please let me know of any triggers or potential allergies before hand, thank you very much!

“Rielly was friendly and did a wonderful job updating me on how my fur baby was doing! Taking care of a 4 month old puppy is no easy task and she did amazing! She even bathed him and gave him a cute little bow tie! I will definitely use her services again!”

About: I've taken care and rescued all sorts of animals from guinea pigs to giant pitties. I have been in rescue for about 9 years. It comes out of pocket, but if I don't save them or help who will? I am also good at medication injection and oral administration of medication as well. I can do walks, check in's, doggy day care, house sit, etc. I will accommodate your needs for your furbaby. I am not afraid of bigger dogs as most people might be. I think of them as giant teddy bears. I will send plenty of updates and pictures as I know leaving your furbaby with a stranger can be absolutely nerve wrecking. Whatever makes my customer happy I will be more than willing to meet their request. Just give me instruction, your furbabies name, any allergies, medications, walk/yard time and frequency, feeding schedule, and any other information you see fit and I guarantee your precious furbaby will find a new friend! I am currently employed part time and in school part time this semster over at Johnson College for Veterinary Nursing. My schedule is pretty packed, but I will make accommodations with you to accommodate the needs of your furbabies or ones with scales. I moved in March of last year so boarding at the new place might be a bit busy. I do have enough room to accommodate at least 3 dogs. I don't have a fenced in yard at my apartment however I love to take them on long walks. I have walked dogs of all sizes. Super tiny to 100+lbs. I also have my own pupper Krypto so if boarding at my home please make sure your dog is other dog friendly as well as cats. I have 2 cats, 1 dog, 1 rat and a goldfish. If you are looking to board in my home I suggest a meet & greet to make sure your furbabies and mine are safe for their stay. I care for my clients furbabies like they are my own. I make sure the furbabies are happy and healthy. I will make sure my clients needs and wants are met. If you need me to watch them at your house, your house will be treated like my home. I will make sure your home is like you left it. I love to send updates because I know leaving your furbabies is really nerve wrecking.
“Talia had a great day! Her first time with Donald and Karen along with her first time away from since I rescued her in January. She had such a good time that when I arrived she was in the chair looking at me like I have to go home already. The pictures Donald sent were great to get and it warmed my heart to see how she settled in. Will definitely book again and highly recommend.”
“Sarah took good care of my Apollo and Zeus while I was away for the day. Gave me an update and picture. They came home happy and exhausted from playing all day. Will book again! Thank you!”

My dog hasn’t been alone with strangers in a few years but when I picked him up he was snoozing on the couch with Adriana. She and her son Randall were both so friendly and supportive. She sent me pictures of Rufus all day, too. I can’t recommend her highly enough.”

About: Hi my name is Michael. I am a current senior at Wilkes who is looking to get involved in the local community. I have spent several years caring for dogs. I have two of my own at home in Stroudsburg (pit mixes), and in high school and over breaks I have pet sat and walked dogs for over a dozen homes in my community. I take pride in being a student leader and a future educator, as well as being responsible, dependable, and knowledgeable. For instance, I am well versed in dog body language, basic obedience, and many different breeds and personalities (small to big, guardian breeds, I love them all!). I am happy to reinforce the rules, expectations, and training that you have with your pet, or teach small new things like leash manners. Whether your dog needs to burn some energy, or just needs someone to check in on them throughout the week, I hope that you will consider me! Being a college student, my schedule is actually pretty flexible. I am generally available for: Morning/Midday walks/check-ins throughout the work week. Afternoon and evening visits on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. Weekend stays or longer visits potentially as well. If you have any questions please reach out and I can see if we can work something out! Being a pet parent myself, I understand the varying needs and concerns when it comes to a pet sitter. Because of that, I take time to speak with all owners about expectations, routines, and how they would like me to approach their home and pets. I usually like to meet all pets with the owners before beginning care as well, simply to ensure that they are comfortable with me. Generally, I will also take notice and respond to any body language or comfort concerns, exercise and training expectations, feeding and medication routines, and any other requests that an owner or pet may bring! If you have any questions please also reach out!
“Daniela was great with my dog Fetty. She came to meet her before I left on my trip so that Fetty knew her and was comfortable. I’m away a few times every year and Daniela will be my first choice to take care of Fetty.”
About: What Sets Me Apart 🐕 What sets me apart is the experience and care I bring to every pet I watch.

My Schedule 🗓️ I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide pet care throughout the week. I’m available full-time on Sundays and Mondays. On Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, I’m available after 5:00 PM. Wednesdays are a little later in my schedule, with availability beginning around 9:00 PM. I’m happy to work with your pet’s schedule and find a time that works best for everyone! I treat every pet like they’re part of the family. Whether they’re in my home or yours, I follow their normal routine, give them plenty of attention, and make sure they get the care they need while you’re away.
About: I have health care experience from my daily career and I've been taking care of all kinds of pets since I was a little girl. This includes several kitten rescues and rehoming. My little girl abby was a recue. Feeding, grooming, litter care needs, emotional support, love, time, and attention all go towards my cat at home on a daily basis. It's a labor of love. I would approach each clients needs with focus on respect, reliability, attention to details, and loving care towards each clients pet. I understand each clients needs will be individual.
About: I believe pets are part of the family and should be treated that way. I have had many pets and love their companionship and have also included them in my daily routine I’m currently unemployed after 34 years with the same employer, I am dependable and experienced as evidenced by the amount of dedicated service to my former employer. I am responsible and really enjoy the outdoors and including my dog in daily activities outside We walk our German Shepherd daily and play with her in the yard. I have 2 cats as well that love to cuddle . We spoil them!
About: When I was young I had 5 cats, Yuna, Spooky, Toby, Rose, and JD, rest in peace, I loved them all a lot and they were with me for a long time, especially Yuna. But now I have 2 Cats, one of which is in the room with me as I write this Bio. His name is Spuds, there's a second one, a Black Cat called Casper who's definitely a handful, but regardless I love the two beyond measure. I've taken care of the two as long as I've had them. My experience isn't just limited to Cats, as I've been around Dogs just as long as I've been with Cats. My mother growing up was a Dog Walker, so I naturally have a lot of second-hand experience with Dog Walking and know the basics. She'd take me and my sister all across Brooklyn 5 days a week to walk 3 Dogs, sometimes more. Furthermore my big brother has a Pitbull mix, whom I've also walked plenty of times. This may be my first time as an actual dogwalker/pet sitter, but I'm certainly not inept. This is my first job, so you better believe I have more than enough free time to take care of your pet, no matter what time of day. Unless of course I have other things to do, such as errands, or any other responsibilities that come up, but you will obviously be warned and told about said responsibilities in advance. I play and cuddle my Cats a ton everyday, along with feeding them and cleaning their litterboxes. And with Dogs, I know how much they need their outside time, so I'd obviously take them outside for Walks or fresh air routinely. I may have less experience with other pets, but so long as you give me proper details on how to take care of them, I could care for just about any pet you ask. Be it Rabbits, Turtles, Lizards, etc.
About: Hi, I'm Robyn, a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of trusted experience caring for dogs & cats of all breeds, ages, and personalities. I've grown up with a variety of animals my entire life (cats, dogs, guinea pigs, turtles, mice). For the past decade, I've been the go to pet sitter and dog walker for family and friends. Whether it’s high energy pups or senior cats who just want some company, I treat every pet like my own with patience, love, and attention to their unique needs. Before I was old enough to work, I spent time volunteering at a local animal shelter during my teen years. It gave me early hands on experience caring for animals with all kinds of personalities and needs, and helped shape my lifelong love and respect for animals. Right now, I share my home with a 5 year old beagle named Scout who I’ve raised since he was a puppy. Whether you're looking for reliable walks, drop ins, or overnight care, you can count on me to keep your pet safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I send regular updates and photos, and I always follow your care instructions to the letter. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! As a stay at home mom, I'm home and active throughout the day, which allows me to fit pet care into my regular routine. During the school year I'm available for walks and visits from 9am-2pm during the week, and I have full day availability on Sunday. During the summer I have full availability Sunday-Tuesday. I'm used to planning my days around care and routines, so incorporating pet care feels like a natural fit. Whether it's a morning walk to start the day, a dinner time drop in, or extended weekend care, I make sure every pet gets the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. When caring for pets in their own home, I always follow the pet parent's instructions closely to ensure consistency and comfort for their pet. I'm very detail oriented and make sure routines, feeding, medications, and preferences are followed exactly as requested. I also let the pet guide the pace of our interactions whether that means playtime, cuddles, or simply being a calm, reassuring presence. My goal is to make them feel safe, respected, and as relaxed as possible while you're away
“The sweetest person I've met and my pup loves he so much couldn't ask for a better person to watch him when I wasn't able to. Very attentive when feeding and walking him at the times needed. Will definitely use her again when needed.”
About: I've taken care and rescued all sorts of animals from guinea pigs to giant pitties. I have been in rescue for about 9 years. It comes out of pocket, but if I don't save them or help who will? I am also good at medication injection and oral administration of medication as well. I can do walks, check in's, doggy day care, house sit, etc. I will accommodate your needs for your furbaby. I am not afraid of bigger dogs as most people might be. I think of them as giant teddy bears. I will send plenty of updates and pictures as I know leaving your furbaby with a stranger can be absolutely nerve wrecking. Whatever makes my customer happy I will be more than willing to meet their request. Just give me instruction, your furbabies name, any allergies, medications, walk/yard time and frequency, feeding schedule, and any other information you see fit and I guarantee your precious furbaby will find a new friend! I am currently employed part time and in school part time this semster over at Johnson College for Veterinary Nursing. My schedule is pretty packed, but I will make accommodations with you to accommodate the needs of your furbabies or ones with scales. I moved in March of last year so boarding at the new place might be a bit busy. I do have enough room to accommodate at least 3 dogs. I don't have a fenced in yard at my apartment however I love to take them on long walks. I have walked dogs of all sizes. Super tiny to 100+lbs. I also have my own pupper Krypto so if boarding at my home please make sure your dog is other dog friendly as well as cats. I have 2 cats, 1 dog, 1 rat and a goldfish. If you are looking to board in my home I suggest a meet & greet to make sure your furbabies and mine are safe for their stay. I care for my clients furbabies like they are my own. I make sure the furbabies are happy and healthy. I will make sure my clients needs and wants are met. If you need me to watch them at your house, your house will be treated like my home. I will make sure your home is like you left it. I love to send updates because I know leaving your furbabies is really nerve wrecking.
“Doreen was fabulous with our Westie, Tuck! I got a number of photos and updates while I was out of town, and I knew he was in great hands with her. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable dog walker!”
About: Hi there! I can walk far distances and I get along with dogs well! I live next to a walking trail so it is perfect for a nice walk, dogs love it! I also live next to some parks so I can play with your dog to blow off some steam so they are less destructive later! I clean up after any messes and will keep your dog hydrated and happy. I can handle breeds both big and small with ease. Not willing to handle aggressive dogs, sorry! Leash trained dogs are preferred. I hope to be able to walk your dog soon! Avaliable rain, shine, and even snow! Please let me know of any triggers or potential allergies before hand, thank you very much!
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was eight. Not only my own personal pets, but also those of friends and family members. I do not currently have any pets, but I love animals, so this is my way to interact and spend time with them! I currently attend school, but my classes are spread out and only on certain days so I have plenty of time to take your dog on a nice, long walk. I'm really good as being able to tell if an animal is comfortable in a situation or not, so after our first walk, I can find the most enjoyable route for your dog!

“Anna gave a great deal of attention to my nearly 17yo cockapoo who was blind and in diapers 24/7 the last yr. He had gotten down to 7 lbs from 16 but still spent every waking moment on the prowl for food. When I found out I had colon cancer that required surgery ASAP i took a couple days reading boarders profiles and reviews before choosing Anna. We talked extensively about peanut 2x before boarding. She got back yo me fast when contacted and sent daily video updates. As Peanut has severe separation anxiety, I was concerned but had to board him and I choose well! Anna is sweet, sensative, caring, & attentive to the animal. I would highly recommend her no matter your dog’s needs. Shes the best!”
“Daniela did a wonderful job with my dog, Troy. She sent pictures of him playing, he seemed very happy and enjoying time with her and her dogs. I’ll definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter for their pets.”
“Very caring and very professional. I knew when I met her that my dog was in good hands. He’s never been away overnight with someone else. He handled it well because it’s obvious she loves animals and knows how to take care of them. Highly recommend.”
“Adam was wonderful with Scout! I was a little nervous about boarding him since he usually stays with family, but Adam and his family truly made it feel like he was staying with relatives of his own. He sent regular updates and pictures throughout Scout's stay, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Every photo showed Scout looking happy, comfortable, and cozying up to everyone. It was clear he was getting plenty of attention and affection. When we picked Scout up, he was happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. Adam made it so easy to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing Scout was in great hands. We're incredibly grateful for the care he provided and would absolutely trust him with Scout again in the future!”
“Laura watched our treeing walker coonhound while we went to Myrtle Beach for a long weekend. She sent regular pictures so we knew Copper was doing well and having fun! She was also very accommodating about drop off and pickup times, which was truly appreciated. Also, Copper is still young and can be quite a handful and she was patient and loving with him. I HIGHLY recommend Laura! Thank you!”
“Sarah is absolutely wonderful and a lifesaver. She was able to take care of my Minks(cat) for several days after she was recently fixed. She kept me updated and sent pictures. Minks was perfectly comfortable in her home and she took excellent care of her.”
“Cheyenne took great care of Marge! Updated us what photos and stories. Took her for several long walks and trips to the park. If you want an amazing sitter, look no further than Cheyenne. We will be returning to her again soon.”
“Adriana was very kind and loving to Gigi who is a special needs Frenchie. She sent photos many times during her stay and provided day by day feedback to reassure me that Gigi was in good hands. She took excellent care of Gigi. Thank you Adriana”
“Lisa was great and took care of my pup! I had never left her for so long and it was comforting knowing she was in good hands. She sent updated throughout and I know she was well taken care of.”
About: Hi! I'm a pre-vet student at UVM with a lifelong passion for animals and hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and sizes. Back home, I help care for my family's pack of four pups — a sweet Yorkie and three energetic Dachshunds (ages 13 to just 7 months). I've also raised cats and hope to one day have a Golden Retriever and Australian Shepherd of my own! Whether your dog needs a midday walk, weekend company, or just some extra love while you're away, I bring patience, enthusiasm, and a future-vet’s dedication to every visit. I’m looking to build even more experience with animal care during the school year, and would love to be part of your pet’s routine! Let’s chat — I’d love to meet your furry family! I’m currently a full time student, but I have pretty much all of the day available on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and full availability on the weekends! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. At home, I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and I’m experienced with using kennels when needed — especially for puppies who benefit from structure. I always make sure pets get plenty of exercise, attention, and love, including regular walks and playtime. I’m also confident transporting pets in the car, making sure they’re secure and calm. I treat every animal like my own, and I’m committed to creating a stress-free, loving environment wherever they are.
“My wife and I are very protective of our little dachshund Wella. When we read Julie's first response to our request, we knew right away that she and her family were the mature and responsible people we could trust to watch our dog. Julie sent multiple updates and photos to us while she had Wella, and that was very nice and reassuring. They did so great with Wella that she seemed to want to stay longer! The kids played so much with Wella that she needed to sleep in the next day! Great experience with Julie and her family and We are looking forward to using her again !!”
About: I am 25 year's old I love work with animals, walk in the parks and play around with them. I have one cat but he is friendly and lazy like a cat. I can take your dog to walk and take care of your cat like how you will do it. I do not have a experience working as a Rover but I learn fast. I love animals that is the reason that I'm decide to work doing something that I will enjoy and do it happly. If you decide to give the honnor to care of your pet you will no regret. I have the time and the patience I am smart and agile. Never discourage anyone...who continually makes progress, no matter how slow. Plato. I work a standard weekday schedule from 7 AM to 4 PM, meaning my late afternoons and evenings are completely free after 4 PM for walks, drop-ins, and playtime. My weekends are fully open! I frequently spend my free time hiking, walking, and exploring trails in state parks and natural areas, so I’d love to take your dog along for some great exercise and outdoor adventures. Because my property features an open, unfenced yard, I never let dogs outside off-leash. Your pet will always be securely handled during bathroom breaks and walks. I focus on providing a safe, strictly supervised environment both indoors and outdoors to give you complete peace of mind while you are away.
“Lennox always seems happy after his stays with Carissa and Judge and leaps out of the car as soon as we get to her house to see her and his best buddy! It’s comforting to know that he looks forward to the stays and feels comfortable going there - one less thing to worry about while traveling…..”
About: I've grown up with no less than 2 dogs at a time. Now I have 3 of my own and I am looking to open my home and offer my services since I am home full time!! We are always outside playing, going for walks and experiencing nature!! I would love to have the opportunity to care for other peoples animals!! The passion I have for animals could definitely be of use to many :) Let me know how I can help!! I work from home and I’m able to constantly care for my 3 pups. The more the merrier! I get up early and run the pups, feed them and let them sunbathe out back. Pets are allowed on our furniture and are treated as the family that they are. I have a fully fenced in yard, plenty of toys and puppy friends to keep your babe occupied and having the time of their lives! My dogs also have their own crates if our visitor is uneasy around our dogs.
