Dog Sitting in Vergennes

About: Hi! I’ve been pet sitting and had my own dog for many years. Now, I have experience from drop-in visits to extended overnight stays, with many different types of needs. I’m dedicated to caring for a pet the same way their owner would and look forward to spending time with animals. I work from home most days and can accommodate a flexible potty schedule and activity level. I enjoy taking breaks to spend with pets, to get outside or tuck in on the sofa! I have an enclosed garden and large, unfenced yard. We are well back from the main road so pets are welcome to explore the neighborhood.

“Julia was amazing with Leon on her drop in visit with him. She paid so much attention to him and was so patient with him. He is a senior so that is exactly what he needs. We will be having her back to look after him soon!”

About: I have had dogs my whole life growing up. All different breeds and attitudes. I’ve worked with trainers and done lots of dog sitting in my life. I love all dogs and most animals. Please let me walk, sit, or hangout with your dog I will treat them like my own. My schedule is very flexible. I work from home and my part time job allows me to make my own schedule/hours. Watching your adorable pup would be my main priority! I would love to care for your pup if that is sitting, a playdate or walk. I am sadly long distance from my pitbull pup while I am at school studying at UVM and wish I was allowed to have pets in my home but my landlords don’t allow it, thus I am committed to giving yours all the attention and care it needs!

“Fantastic as always.”

“She is so great with Ella, Ella seems to be in a better mood when I get home from work. I strongly suggest having her come and look after your fur babies!”

About: I've helped take care of dogs ever since I was five years old. I was relied on in my family to feed, walk, and give emotion care to our various dogs over the years. I've helped to take care of small dogs and very large dogs. I currently work as a middle school teacher, so I would be available to take care of your dog in the evenings and on the weekends. I have a large shared backyard that could be used to throw a ball of frisbee with dogs. My house is close to the Burlington Bike Path which would allow for easy access to walk. My apartment is also spacious enough for your pet to be able to roam or big enough to accommodate a crate if needed.

About: "I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. I had many dogs and cats growing up. Currently, I have a two-year-old dog who is highly active, and we enjoy outdoor adventures together—hiking, skiing, and even paddleboarding. I believe in treating each pet as an individual, with unique needs and personalities, ensuring they receive the specific care and attention they deserve. Whether it’s providing exercise, companionship, or simply keeping them comfortable, I approach every pet care situation with responsibility, love, and dedication." I work 2 days a week as a nurse but the rest of my days are very flexible. During my off days I am able to be home with your pet and take them on long walks and adventures. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a very large, securely fenced-in yard where your dog can play off-leash and enjoy plenty of space to run and explore. We live in a quiet, dog-friendly neighborhood next to a scenic bike path, making it ideal for peaceful walks and enjoyable outdoor adventures. Inside, my home is pet-safe, with a calm and welcoming environment designed to keep your furry friend comfortable and secure. My own friendly, playful dog will also be there to keep your pet company, ensuring they have a buddy for fun and companionship. You can trust that your pet will be treated like family, with all the attention, care, and supervision they need to feel safe and at ease.

About: I have been taking care of dogs/cats for about 3 years off and on. I just recently lost my furry bestfriend and had him for 5+ years, I love being around animals and learning their ways. I am currently work an overnight job 12am-8am, if you pup can be left alone during the night I can be there during the day. My work days are Friday-Monday. I love building a connection with the animal and start a trust bond between the animal and I. I have learned that not every animal is friendly and needs trust first.

“Bella and Cameron are such diligent and responsible cat sitters! They sent very cute updates and photos while we were out of town, about all the activities they were doing with our cat. We will definitely be booking with them again!”

About: Hello, I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and turtles. For the past four years, I’ve mostly been house-sitting/taking care of a good neighbor/friend turtle who I love dearly. I’ve put her to bed and cleaned her cage, along with feeding her while sitting with her for 3+ hours most days. I’ve learned to care for pets as if they are my own and love all animals. :)) Pet care is a vital and seamless part of my daily and weekly routine. Over the past four years, I have taken care of dogs, cats, and especially a neighbor's turtle, who I have grown to love dearly. Each day, I ensure that she is fed and her cage is cleaned, and I spend over three hours sitting with her, ensuring she feels loved and cared for. This routine has taught me to care for pets as if they were my own and deepened my love for all animals. Incorporating pet care into my schedule is crucial to me. I ensure my pet is happy and healthy, from morning walks to evening snuggles. Every activity, whether feeding, brushing, or playing, is an opportunity to deepen our bond and show my pets the love and attention they deserve. Balancing pet care with my other responsibilities, such as my involvement in ROTC at Norwich University for the past three years, has honed my discipline and time management skills. In addition to my ROTC commitments this summer, I am taking summer courses and have lacrosse practices. Despite these busy schedules, I always ensure that pet care remains integral to my routine, reflecting my dedication to their well-being. As a dedicated pet caregiver/Owner, my approach to pet care is tailored to the pet's needs and the environment. I prioritize creating a safe and nurturing space in my own home or while providing services for clients. This includes regular feeding schedules, enriching activities such as walks or playtime, administering medications if needed, and maintaining cleanliness through regular grooming and sanitation practices. Additionally, I strive to provide ample affection and attention to ensure each pet feels valued and loved, whether under my roof or in the comfort of a client's home.

About: I have experience with cows, horses, dogs, cats, pigs, Guinea pigs, fish, chickens etc from basic feeding and cleaning to much more depending on needs I am currently working part time, and am self employed. I am willing to discuss flexibility to accommodate needs of clients, homes and their pets! I adapt to the needs of my clients and the surrounding. I do like to set up an initial meet so I can ask questions and get familiar to the space, duties and animals.

About: I’m a fur mama of one 85lb , 3 year old mush who is hyper, energetic , and very needy. I love taking him on walks, to the beach, and anywhere he can go to get his energy out. My fiancé and I are planning our dream wedding and I would love to offer pet care in your house ( or mine if your dog or dog friendly) . I would love to give someone the opportunity to go on vacation without the Warriors of their pet being lonely or not getting the attention they deserve. I’m well experienced in dogs of all breeds and sizes and emotional/ physical needs. I am a teacher Monday- Friday but have weekends and summers off. I can be there before and after school, as well. Weekends I am free. I want to offer your pet lots of love, care and engagement while you are traveling. I try to keep them on their normally scheduled routine and work with the pet parent to make sure they are comfortable or have any special requests.

About: Hi! I'm an experienced house and petsitter who truly loves the animals in my care. I've watched pets for many friends and families. I discovered my love of animals while living in Australia when I was asked to live in a family friend's home for six months to watch their aging border collie and cat. I then became a daily dog walker for a yellow lab while her primary caretaker was working; I have also looked after a rat terrier, an Irish terrier, and three labradoodles with regularity. I was a Canine Companion at my local SPCA, having completed a thorough training program there, as well as a volunteer with the local ambulance corps. I have had great experiences with dogs and cats of many different breeds and ages and I look forward to meeting your furry friends! What sets me apart is the amount of time your pets get with me. I spend a lot of time and care with your furry friends. This depends on what the dog and the client needs. I am happy to discuss this with you further when we meet and chat more.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. Recently I worked at a Doggy Day Care where I ensured the safety of over 20 dogs by myself at a given time. I promise to love and take care of your dog like they were my own Open schedule. Weekends and weekdays acceptable. Overnights, one dog at a time. My focus will be solely on your dog. Plenty of potty breaks and fun I always make sure to follow an owners instructions on specific care for their dog. Will do whatever needed to ensure the safety and well being of our furry friends
