1. Tatum L.

“Tatum was a phenomenal cat sitter for our sweet kitten! She sent frequent updates, obviously played with him lots and brought over more toys, snuggled with him, and went above and beyond to make sure he had as much companionship as possible. We are thrilled we connected with her and hope we can have her watch Gus again!”

3. David D.

“David was awesome with our girl. Let us book on fairly short notice and sent frequent updates and pictures. Will be contacting him again when we need a sitter!”


4. Valory N.

“Valory is amazing. She’s professional, courteous, attentive to detail, and willing to go the extra mile; not just for the owner, but also for the dog! My pup whined more when she left then when I did for my trip. 100% rebooking with her in the future. Couldn’t ask for more.”


5. Elisa O.

“Elisa cared for 2 dogs and multiple cats in my home. It was wonderful knowing all the pets were being cared for and loved while I was away! I had plenty of updates and all my cats/dogs seemed so relaxed when I arrived back home.”


6. Monroe B.

“Miranda was excellent with our senior dog and took great care of him. She made sure he was well fed, got his potty breaks, and had plenty of time for his naps. She kept us updated and sent photos while we were gone. I would highly recommend Miranda and her outstanding care.”


7. Ashley B.

“Our 70 plus pound dogs are very jumpy and barky and she handled that like a pro! The dogs loved her! The house was just like we left it! We will book her again!”


8. Christina D.

“Best dog sitter we have had to date. Christina was amazing from the get go. Kept us up to date and made sure our 3 dogs were well loved and taken care of while we were on vacation. Would recommend her to any and everyone!”


9. Susan M.

“Susan is great with our dog and cats! They love her too! Our home was pristine when we returned, as if no one had even been here. Thank you Susan for giving us peace of mind when we are away!”


10. Brianna P.

“Couldn't be happier with Bri service! From the moment we met, it was clear they truly love dogs. My pups instantly felt comfortable with her and I could tell they were in good hands. Throughout the stay, Bri kept me updated with pictures and messages, showing how much fun Remi and Charlie were having. Whether it was walks, playtime, or cuddles, they were provided so much attention and care. I came home to a happy, well-exercised, and relaxed dogs, which made me feel so at ease while I was away. Bri was also very professional—punctual, easy to communicate with, and left everything clean and tidy. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter. Will definitely be booking again!”


11. Kylie B.

“Kylie did a great job watching our girls. We received daily updates and her responses were fast. Would definitely recommend Kylie to anyone looking for peace of mind while away from their pups!”


12. Deborah L.

“Deborah was so sweet and caring of the dogs. Our babies are very large and can be intimidating if you don't give them a chance to show that they are loving, but she handled meeting them with care and confidence and they took to her almost immediately. She was respectful of our home, cleaned up after the dogs who are very messy/dirty, and also took care of the fish while we were away. Our newfoundland with separation anxiety is acting normal now that we're home, whereas he usually acts sick when we leave him alone for only 5-8 hours; so we know he was given lots of love and attention. Thank you Deborah!”

14. Angie M.

“Angie is awesome! I just got home and found everything just as I had left it. And when I had to leave for vacation, my sweet girl wasn’t feeling the best. Angie took everything in stride and took such good care of my pup while I was gone. I absolutely would not hesitate to have her back.”


15. Mollie S.

“Mollie always does such a fantastic job with my pup! She keeps me in the loop with photos and ensures my dog feels right at home. I definitely recommend her for your fur baby!”

17. Jami H.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all shapes and sizes growing up, from chatty chihuahuas to burly pittys. Aside from my family dogs, I used to volunteer with pups at All Breed’s Dog Rescue, where I learned to support more emotionally challenged dogs. I currently care for my rebellious teenage kitty, Emmett, and step in to help with my neighbours’ cats when needed. I’m very patient and adaptable to the unique needs of different pets. I’ve recently professionally cared for a flock of 80 co-ed ducks — so I’m ready for any unprecedented chaos! I’m currently a student with a very flexible schedule, hoping to take on as many gigs as I can. I would be grateful to get to know your furry friend and I promise to keep them good company. I am currently completing college online with a most flexible schedule. I have ample time to provide for care and last minute notice is no problem. I have reliable transportation for anything urgent. In January, I’ll have a few more restrictions when I return to online classes, but I’ll maintain most of my availability. I’m a hobbyist power lifter, so handling bigger dogs is no problem. I’m a native VTer who loves to be outside so I don’t mind long winter walks or fetch in the snow. I’m just as happy to warm up inside with pets and cuddles for the dogs from down South. However your pet is best supported is how I will show up for them.

About: I focus on tailoring my care to each pet's unique needs, ensuring they feel comfortable and loved. With experience in puppy training, basic obedience, and senior pet care, I can address specific requirements like mobility assistance or managing health needs. I also prioritize open communication, providing regular updates and photos so pet owners feel connected and reassured while away. So my schedule is looking to be very available at this time and next month you guys can book me anytime any day Sunday-Friday/8am-4pm dog walking or sitting. When caring for pets in my home, I create a calm and secure environment, ensuring they have enough space to relax and play. I maintain a consistent routine for feeding, walks, and playtime, while also providing cozy spots for them to rest. Each pet gets personalized attention based on their needs, ensuring they feel comfortable and loved. For pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal as possible. I provide plenty of companionship, regular exercise, and ensure they feel safe and relaxed in their own environment. Communication with the pet owners is key, so I send updates and photos to keep them informed and reassured. :)
