“Our dog always has a great time with Samantha and her family, and he comes home happy, healthy, and tired! We boarded him at another place before, and it was clear he was kept in a crate most of the time and couldn't wait to get out of there. But with Samantha, he gets excited to see us then just sort of sniffs around and chills, like he doesn't want to leave. It makes us feel good while we are away to know that he is taken care of like family!”
“Christina and Jason were lovely folks to meet, and Emma, my pup, sure agrees! Emma had a great time and I loved seeing updates of their time together. 10/10 would recommmend!”
“Gwynn is fantastic. We have a tiny 6 lb on-year-old dog, and a large, lanky 70lb 13-year-old. Opposite extremes. Both recently stayed with Gywnn for several days, and she was 100% and equally dialed into their very different needs the entire time. From the moment we first saw Gwynn interact with our two, it was clear that 1) she truly understands dogs and dog behavior, and 2) she loves dogs. That mix of professional ability and heart-felt care is a special combination, and makes for a terrific dog sitter. We'll be thrilled to send our dogs back to Gwynn when the need arises. And we know they'll love to go back, too, cause it's clear that they had a great time with Gwynn and her dog Meatball (who proved to be a wonderful host, and very effective guide on their frequent nature walks).”
“Shannon was great sitting my dog and cat as always! They both seem to enjoy staying with her very much, and get enough walks and attention that they don't mind when I have to leave them!”
“Jenna is awesome! She is very caring and sweet! I had no stress leaving my new 4 month old puppy with her. She responds right away and sends pictures. She is definitely the one person on the top of my list next time I go out of town.”
“Sarah took such good care of Sammy, our sweet 13 year old golden retriever, during her first stay. Sammy was happy and relaxed when we picked her up, and clearly had a fun enjoyable stay. Sammy and Sarah’s golden, Maple, got along great, allowing Sammy to make another friend. We’ll definitely use Sarah again. Thank you!”
“Christopher and his family are lovely. We felt very comfortable leaving out dog with them knowing how caring they are towards aanimals. They were also great at communicating and accommodating our schedule and needs..Will definitely use them again!”
About: Growing up around a wide variety of animals has given me the skills and passion needed to be an attentive and responsible carer of all kinds of pets. I've owned several dogs, cats, rodents, and horses. I was responsible for administering medications, accommodating pets with special needs, becoming attuned to various behaviors and habits, and adhering to specific individualized training methods. I'm currently working full-time from home as a customer service rep for a small, local company and mothering my 2 year old toddler (who is very gentle and respectful around all animals). I'm fortunately very flexible with my schedule and can accommodate both last-minute and long-term schedules! Being a sincere animal lover, I'm always enthusiastically willing to tend to the needs of any pets that are under my care. I believe that both people and animals benefit from living in a clean and comfortable space, so I seek to maintain and accommodate that kind of positive atmosphere in your pet's home.
About: I have had many breeds and ages of dogs my whole life. I look forward to assisting you with your best friend. From feeding to training and walks to the river I can’t wait to meet your best friend. Need more than dog care? I have plenty of experience with all sorts of farm animals! Currently have a flexible schedule and looking to add more dogs to my dog walk. I have a great spot to take by my house or we could head to some more well known trails. Your pup can come hang in my fenced in yard and join my pups in watching the chickens roam around. Otherwise we can stay in the comfort of their own space.
“They were so great!! Lika took a ton of pictures and videos of our dog Schnappi through the weekend which totally helped my separation anxiety lol. It made us feel good to see Schnappi playing and napping and knowing he was being taken care of so well. They followed the directions we left for feeding, medication, etc. well and were really communicative. They were able to help us out last minute when our friend had to cancel on dog-sitting, which was amazing. And then when my plane was super delayed Lika was really nice about me being late to pick him up. She also went above & beyond and delivered his food bowls to us after we forgot to bring them home. All around great experience, you can tell they're dog people and I will definitely rebook with them next time we need a sitter.”
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.
“Kevin & Inez were wonderful with our 7-year old Havanese Lola. So caring and kind - Inez even hand fed Lola for the first day when she was a nervous and didn't want to eat. They sent great photos every day so we knew she was happy and in good hands. We're so grateful to have found such a loving couple to leave our sweet girl with when we're away.”
“Piper was the absolute best! From all of the preliminary meet and greet, to actually watching out pups, she went above and beyond in ALL THE WAYS. She blew us away with her communication, attention to detail, warmth, compassion, skill with crazy puppies, and general supportiveness. Not only did she help our dogs, she went out of her way to care for our home and family as well. She will for sure be our go to person from now on. Truly the best!!!!!”
“Ann is not just a dog-sitter. She is someone who understands every dog is different, and gives special attention to meet their needs and make sure they are loved. She spent extra time to sooth our nervous rescue dog Cleo, and bring her out of her shell until she was comfortable running around playing with the other sweet dogs at Ann’s home. She has a perfect set-up with nice backyard, and lounging area inside with lots of sun. Her many updates and photos gave us peace-of-mind that our dog was happy and well cared for during our time away. We will definitely be back!”
About: I've been taking care of pets for two decades and will love them like I love my own. I believe the best way to teach a dog is positive reinforcement and will work with whatever routines you have established with your furry family member. I work from home 3 days per week and the days are flexible except Thursday when I have to be at my office in Montpelier. I can go home on my lunch breaks for walks on the days I'm in the office (and you're close to Montpelier) and can work from your home if I'm housesitting and you have internet. As a gal in her 40s I'm pretty low key and will be very happy spending my time with your pet in your home or taking them on adventures if that's what they prefer. I love hiking and walks and have lots of friends with dogs if socialization is something you'd like for your pup.
“Our pups recently had their second overnight with Meredith. She provides very honest feedback about their stays- the fact is, our pups would rather be with us than away from us. But we know they are safe and well cared for with Meredith. She is kind and consistent with them and we know they will settle in over time. We are very happy to have Meredith care for our dogs.”
“Our dog had a blast with Bean and was very well cared for by Sarah and Ben. Huge snowy fenced yard was perfect for our fluffball. Appreciated the daily updates from Sarah too.”

“Marissa was very professional and did a wonderful job caring for my cat Eddie. Eddie is skeptical of strangers and hasn't felt comfortable approaching everyone who's watched him, which means he can be pretty stressed by the time I return. Within the first visit Eddie was comfortable approaching Marissa for treats/scratches, and his stress was very low when I returned!”
“Courtney is absolutely wonderful to work with!! Two of our cats are on medication every 12 hours and she jumped in and learned their routine so quickly! She did a fabulous job administering insulin, an inhaler and a pill! Courtney kept us updated and sent cute photos each visit. Thank you Courtney for taking such great care of our kitties, we appreciate you!”
“Lexi is wonderful! We had a meet and greet and a drop in visit for a walk so far! "Tessa" our doberman pincher loves Lexi, we just say her name and Tessa is looking for her!! Rover is awesome aswell, we can trac the walk and received a picture after. We can't say enough as to how comfortable this has been! Looking forward to Lexi and her positive and comfortable professional nature!”
“Payton did drop in visits for our two cats while we went on a two week vacation. She was great with communication and sending photos for each visit. The cats were well taken care of while we were away. I recommend Payton as a friendly and reliable person. Thanks Payton!”
About: I've cared for cats of all ages and personalities, from playful kittens to senior cats. I'm attentive, patient, and understand that every cat has unique needs. Whether it's feeding, cleaning litter boxes, playing with them, or simply keeping them company, I'll make sure your cat feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away.
About: I’ve been caring for pets of all energy levels and ages for over 10 years, ranging from energetic puppies to anxious seniors. I’ve had my own dogs for 15 years, and I love spending time with all pets whenever I get the chance! I’m also happy to care for cats and/or exotic pets. If you're looking for an attentive, reliable, and gentle pet sitter, I'm your person! I'm currently residing in the Upper Valley, and I work daily as a high school teacher. I can provide check-ins and walks during the afternoon. I’m not able to keep animals in my own home, but I am more than happy to stay in your home overnight to keep your pets comfortable.
“Hariala was very responsive and timely in communicating. She took good care of our cat during holiday and the cold storms, and helped us get food refill when the feeder was running low. Excellent sitter!”
“This is the second time Samantha took care of my kitty while I was out of town, and she did a wonderful job. She goes above and beyond to make sure my shy girl feels safe and comfortable. Will always rebook with her!”
“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.”
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. I will watch pets in your home and or/ stay in your home for house sitting overnight. I will keep them safe and follow any rules.
“I recently hired Jess to take care of my Tommy while I was away, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the very beginning, Jess was professional, communicative, and clearly passionate about animals. During our meet-and-greet, Jess took the time to understand my pet’s routine and needs, which put my mind at ease. When I returned, my Tommy was happy and well-cared for, which is the best indicator of a great pet sitter. I highly recommend Jess to anyone looking for reliable and loving care for their furry family members!”

“Jenna was wonderful with my dog! She was communicative, very flexible with drop-off and pick-up hours, sent lots of photos and videos of my pup, and was all-around fantastic. I would be more than happy to book through her again and would highly recommend her services!”

About: I currently have and train a 1 year old golden retriever! I grew up around dogs and LOVE spending time outside walking/hiking/playing/running with dogs. Let’s make our dogs best friends 🥹. I work remotely part time and have a lot of flexibility. Just shoot me a message and we will be able to work something out! I’ve got a spacious apartment with parks nearby for the dogs to play! I’ve also got a fully enclosed balcony where the pups can hang out as well!
“Sean is an excellent dog daycare provider. He is personable, kind and very reliable. Hamish loved not only Sean, but also Sean’s family — which includes two Labradoodles, Penny and Finn, Hamish’s daily playmates around the family’s generous off-road property.”
“Thank you!! This was on short notice and I also changed pick up time, both of which were no problem. Great communication and def made me feel very comfortable leaving our pet there. This isn’t something we do a-lot especially since this fall when he was diagnosed with a degenerative issue. Very, very nice setting for dogs! Super nice family and would highly recommend.”
“Ann was amazing with our puppy! She treated her like her own with all the love and attention we give her at home. Both days when we picked her up she was exhausted from all the fun she had with Ann and her dogs. Will definitely be contacting Ann again for puppy sitting! ?♥️”
“Kevin watched our pug for two days while we attended the Quechee Balloon Festival. He was incredibly flexible with our plans and let us stay out much longer than originally planned. Our pup had a good time, evidenced by the 2nd day when we dropped him off and he ran right to Kevin! The other dogs were a bit noisy and inquisitive but settled right down so it wasn’t a problem. Kevin sent a few photos and video which we much appreciated. If we were in the area again, I wouldn’t hesitate to leave our dog with Kevin once again.”
“Sarah and Ben saved my life! After a hotel would not allow me entry, they accepted my request within the hour. My dog Muffy had the most wonderful day despite being timid.I cannot recommend them more. They are THE BEST.”
About: Growing up, I have never been without a pet to come home to. I truly believe pets have the ability to alter someone’s life, and thus deserve the best care. I can assure you I will treat your pets with utmost care and love. I ran my own pet sitting business in high school, and am very comfortable with new dogs and cats. I am currently an M1 at Dartmouth med school. My schedule is quite flexible, just reach out for specific quests about your pet sitting needs. I live in a house with 5 other medical students so it’s difficult to host animals in my house but I am happy to stay in your home!

About: I have been walking and pet sitting since I was younger. I would watch and walk my neighbors dog for them when they went away. I recently graduated from UVM with my B.S in animal science hoping to go to Vet school in the future. I have worked with more than just dogs and cats, but livestock too. I work at a vet clinic as a vet technician right now and walk/ pet sit for families in the area now. I work a full time job at a vet clinic but have availability before and after work, as well as weekends. My hours do vary on certain days so feel free to reach out regardless!

About: Besides working at a dog groomers business as a dog bather, I have had pets all throughout my life and absolutely love being around animals! I am currently working at SORO elementary school. I work 8-3 but am looking to add on pet-sitting again since I miss working with animals! In my own home, I treat my pets as if they are my children. For my cat, I spend a lot of time with her, give her treats and kisses and make sure to frequently clean her litter box. I give her the highest care that I can. I also do this for my dog (who is my family-dog, so she gets extra love), and try to ensure that she gets enough social/play time throughout each day!

About: Hi my name is Sean. I recently graduated from RIT with a BFA in illustration. I love all animals and currently have a lot of flexibility to care for your pets while I am working from home. I grew up with two labradoodles and I have also cared for friends' animals while they have been away. One of my dogs has Addison's disease, so I am familiar with giving medication to pets. Spending time with animals brings me joy and does not seem like work - I enjoy playing with your animals, going on walks and I give a great belly rub! I am extremely responsible and will love your animals like my own...you might also find some sketches of your pet when you return home. I am an artist that is currently working from home in Quechee. I am extremely flexible and am available during the week and on weekends. I make my own hours so can work around your schedule. I live with my parents and two friendly labradoodles ages 8 and 12. I could board a dog in my home if he/she gets along well with other dogs and is house-trained. I prefer to care for your animals in your own home: I can do drop-in visits, walks and daytime or overnight house-sitting.
“Alison took great care of our dog Brooke! She was easy to communicate with and very responsive. Alison even went the extra mile by dropping Brooke off at our wedding venue to take a few photos with us and then picking her up so we could enjoy the rest of our day.”
About: I am a very experienced pet owner in Montpelier - I have owned and loved alpacas, dogs, goats, cats, and backyard birds of all kinds. I have also done foster care of kittens and cats for CVHS. I'm available to provide a fun and loving spot to board your dogs. They will get attention, care, walks, and playtime with my 3 dogs and part time cat. I have 2 crates if needed, gates to section rooms off, can be one level if mobility is an issue, am willing to administer meds and have no problem with puppies or senior pets. I am home all afternoon and evening and weekends and dogs get a lunchtime walk as well. I am home ALL summer. I am available for boarding all of the time, but only showed weekends because that’s when I am home all day and evening. During the week dogs would still get a morning and lunchtime walk and care all afternoon and evening. I will send updates and photos throughout your dogs time with us - I am also available to pick up and drop off dogs for an additional fee. I am happy to do full day care to allow folks to go skiing or shopping or on full day outings as well.! I work in Montpelier until 3:00 pm so pets get exercise in the afternoons and weekends, and dogs get a lunchtime walk as well. I am around all of the time on weekends and all school breaks and all summer. Our house has many dog beds, crates, toys and treats. We live on many acres and dogs can be on or off leash, depending on needs. I also take dogs to local trails to walk and socialize.
