“My dogs love going to Christina’s to play on the farm and hang with her animal family. I struggled through a few sitters before I found Christina and we haven’t looked back since. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, fish, chickens, and horses for the last 5+ years. Also have had pets since I was around 10 or 12. I’m working a few hours a week, so I’m pretty open as schedules go. I love meeting new animals, even if they don’t like me at first. We have an outdoor cat, but I can work with whatever the client needs. All I need is a list of things that need to be done and when.

“Niki is a stellar animal sitter. Our four cats were in great hands while we were away. We got timely photos and thorough updates with great pictures. Excellent communication and the meet and greet is, in my opinion, a fabulous way for all parties--2 and 4 legged--to get acquainted”

About: I’ve had cats since I was old enough to pay my own bills. I’ve watched neighbor’s cats and volunteered at cat rescues. I understand that they can get overstimulated and need time to approach you. I try to make sure they get that time and the attention they need.

About: Have much patience as I helped raise litters of puppies from 17 on, experience with IVDD (intervertebral disk disease) paralyzed, expressing bladders, dog grooming assistant for 2 yrs, cancer/kidney failure, comfort cares, giving meds, behavior/aggression issues and more :) Currently work another part time flexible job. I am a hard worker and learn things quickly. Pets have always been my passion to be around :) I always feed my pets before myself and they go out to use restroom the same most times. Safety is my top priority! Respect their space and property always.

“Niki and Zach gave Hoagie a great day and we are so grateful! Hoagie was super nervous when we dropped him off and super happy when we picked him up!”

“My dog Riley was very well taken care of by Christina and her family. Loved her schedule flexibility. It was especially nice that Riley was introduced to her other critters. An opportunity she never gets often.”

“Niki was wonderful. She was very good with our dogs and great at communicating! We already booked her again and for a long trip.”

About: I have been surrounded by animals my entire life- grew up on a dairy farm in Northern VT. My family consists of three rescued dogs and a rescued 18 yr old cat- Betelgeuse. I have experience with many different breeds of dogs, am comfortable with medication management and am very reliable. I work Monday-Thursday from 730-5pm. I am available all day Friday, Saturday and Sunday for pet care and can be available in the early morning and evenings during the week. I will care for your pets as if they were my own. If caring for a pet outside my home, I am fastidious with details, safety oriented, and believe that exercise and attention is necessary to help reduce anxiety when a pet’s main caregiver is absent. If you are looking to board your pet in my home, I have a fenced in yard and three fur babies to keep your baby company (my cat does not go outside or really interact with dogs) Can crate upon request. I prefer to care for fur babies in their own homes initially- I have a small baby at home so I am selective as to who comes to my home.

“Always dependable, trustworthy and caring. I feel reassured whenever she’s here to care for my crew.”

About: I’ve owned dogs most of my life and raised two wonderful lab puppies. I’ve cared for friend’s and family’s animals and have a calm patient approach to animal care. I’ve even had hamsters and chickens. I’m currently establishing a homestead with my two cats and ten chickens and working part time. I’m looking forward to growing my animal flock further in the next few years. Safety is my first priority so I make sure that I understand your animal’s needs and tendencies before coming in or out. Once I’m sure we are safe then it’s time to have fun in whatever way your pet likes. Some want a comfy snuggle and some need to work off some energy. I’m there for them.
