“Sam was awesome!! She sent us pics/video of the dogs playing which I loved! They had plenty of space to run around in a large fenced in area. This was the perfect place to send both my pups!! We will definitely be back!”
“Barbara and Darryll are amazing!! Our Mozzy was so happy and well cared for while he stayed with them. They were quick to respond and respectful of our rules. Mozzy came home even better behaved than he had been! We are so grateful to them. It is good to know we have a great place for Mozzy to stay if we need to go out of town.”
“Christina and Jason were amazing to our puppy! Very communicative and Cruz came home happy and tired! Felt very comfortable with them and having Cruz in their care. Thank you so much!”
“This was the second time we’ve left our pup with Lika and Alister. This time was for an extended stay while we were away. Lika sent us photos and videos daily to let us know how she was doing. If you want your furbaby to be cared for with nothing but love, Lika and Alister should be your first choice!”
“My sister and I were heading to Stowe with our dogs for a ski trip when we found out the house wasn't dog friendly. Oh no! Luckily we found Gwynn who lives close to Stowe. She only takes two dogs at a time which was perfect for my dog and my sister's since they're best friends! Gwynn was great with initial introductions with my somewhat skittish dog and her dogs. We were in contact with her everyday with photos and a video of them frolicking in the snow. She always responded quickly via phone or text. After picking them up, our dogs ended up sleeping the entire next day from having too much fun. My dog in particular did not want to leave Gwynn's chickens! I would highly recommend Gwynn, especially if your dog needs personal attention, lots of exercise and outdoor time.”
“Jenna was awesome with my little pup. She was very flexible as this was last minute. She made him feel comfortable and sent me updates throughout the day. I will be using her in the future”
“Jennifer was amazing! She’s so sweet and obviously loves animals. She took my dog hiking to a waterfall, when I picked her up she was exhausted and didn’t want to leave! Would definitely leave Bowie there again.”
“AnnaRose kept in touch and provided photos of my dogs obediently sitting in their beds and playing with each other. She took them to their favorite park for long walks. The dogs seemed well-exercised and fed according to instructions. They seemed to like AnnaRose and her pups and though they were excited to see us, they were just their normal selves, not exhausted or hyper. It was clear they bonded with her and she with them. I will use AnnaRose again for sure. Very pleased with her kind and conscientious service.”
“THANK YOU FOR TOLERATING MY STINKER!! I am so thankful that my partner and i were able to have a mini vacation. Senna seemed to have a good time with shannon despite her wild anxiety. 10/10 would book 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'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.
“Edgar & Rene were the best! Dante, my golden, loved staying with them and their dogs. Edgar & Rene really went above and beyond to make sure Dante stayed active, got better off leash, and remained healthy. Dante & I are very grateful for his stay!”
“Piper did such a wonderful job taking care of Nellie for us over the weekend. She asked very thorough questions ahead of time to be sure she could make Nellie's stay as easy as possible. She sent multiple emails and pictures throughout the weekend to let us know that Nellie was safe and happy. Piper understands dogs well and we couldn't have been happier that she took care of Nellie. Thank you, Piper!”
About: I have had a passion for animals my whole life, and love getting to care for new pets and their individual needs. I have a dog, cat, and bunny, but it’s not enough so I want to love yours!

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.
“She was so good about keeping me updated and sending pictures of my precious girl! She even took the time to take her on adventures! She has been sleeping and snoring since we got home!”
“Nina was awesome! My dog Mattis had a great boarding experience. I felt 100% comfortable knowing that Nina was taking such good care of my boy. Not only would I recommend Nina to others but will be asking her to sit for Mattis again soon.”
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.

About: I have spent many overnights at homes while providing pet care. The durations of these stays have been up to a week. I do very well with following clear directions for feeding, medications, as well as other pet care needs. This includes affection and playing— I absolutely love dogs and cats! I am a teacher, which of course is a very busy job. However, I do not work over the summer, which means I have lots of flexibility in these months. I am also available during most weekends! I care for pets in my clients’ homes by following instructions regarding feeding, medications, going outside, as well as anything else that may be necessary! When owners are gone, I recognize it is best for the pets to keep their routines as consistent as possible! I respect any rules clients may have for their pets (e.g. where around they house they are allowed, any dietary limitations, and any necessary precautions to take so that the pets stay safe!)
“Sean is wonderful! I first booked with him for a last minute work trip. He was so responsive and asked really thoughtful questions about administering my cat’s nose drops. He leaves really great visit notes and takes the cutest pictures. Highly recommend!”
“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!”

About: I've had cats my whole life, and am currently a regular cat sitter for my neighbor in my apartment building, and have been the cat sitter for my entire family, grandparents, aunts and uncles for my entire life to teach me responsibility.

“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 had 2 dogs in my lifetime, starting from a few weeks old and caring for them through their lives. Besides personal experience, I am my friends and families go to person when it comes to pet-sitting. Walking, feeding, bathing… you name it! My patience and love for dogs will ensure your bff has a happy and safe time away from home. I currently am working from home. This means I can easily take pee breaks as often as needed. Additionally, I will be able to take longer breaks for a mid day stretch. After work, my schedule is free to play and entertain with the pups. I have a nice backyard with easily usable for pee breaks. The neighborhood I live in is small and quiet. I live alone in an house and don’t currently have any other pets.
“Annie was very nice and understanding when our daughter came down with a fever. Our pups seemed happy and well cared for when we picked them up. We'd happily book with Annie again!”
“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! ?♥️”

About: My parents and friends know they can rely on me for animal sitting. Ive taken care of dogs and cats consistently for 15 years. I have experience with all sized dogs for I’ve helped train my German Shepard and toy poodle alongside with my mom. I am going to be home until mid June but will back to animal in early August. I am very flexible with time as long as I am scheduled 3 days in advanced. The closest main road to my house is 3/4 of mile so cars won’t be an issue. I love trail walking and running which sometimes my dogs will accompany me; there are a lot of no car friendly trails to venture on. I do it all the time with my German Shepard and my neighbors German Shepard who are dog friendly. At home it is easy to give the dogs space to themselves for I have my own room where they can eat and sleep.
