House Sitting in Vergennes

“Steven is great! He’s friendly and our dogs couldn’t have been happier and more well taken care of when we got home. He was quick to take our sitting job in a pinch and we look forward to having him hang with our dogs again in the future!”

About: In the last decade+ I've taken care of half a dozen dogs and nearly a dozen cats for friends and through word-of-mouth, including a very senior chihuahua who was blind and deaf and needed diapers changed. I always had cats and dogs around growing up, including two difficult dogs from shelters who had issues. I live with an energetic pit-lab mix, and my parents' three rescue cats are still my sweeties. In the past I volunteered at an animal shelter, helping to socialize cats and walk dogs. I hike every day if I can, so if your dog enjoys vigorous exercise on trails, I can provide that too! I'm an adjunct college professor and freelance writer, so my work is part-time or sporadic, with much of it being done at home. If I'm available, I'll have plenty of time to linger and give attention to your pets! I'll follow your lead on what situations you're comfortable with for your pet, in terms of where I bring your dog for a walk, how they interact with other animals and people, etc.

“Molly gave Maude tons of attention and care during my trip. Molly is a great communicator who kept me up to date and sent pictures each day. I will definitely ask Molly to dog sit the next time I need coverage.”

About: I’ve worked in pharmacy for 10+ years. I love all animals, and willing to learn the care your animal needs. I’ve watched friends and family’s pets for as long as I can remember. I work full time and work 10hr shifts but shift times vary and it allows me more days off in a week. I am willing to share my schedule with you ahead time to see if it works well with you. Pets need just as much attention as anything else. So I will make time accordingly that fits your needs. I have some experience giving dogs pills and supplements. I love cooking fresh food for animals, of course with your approval first of all ingredients. My fur baby recently crossed the bridge, so Im hoping to fill the void by giving your pet some love until I’m ready for another fur baby.

“Meghan was wonderful and kept my anxiety at bay while we were out of town. She communicated with me regularly with pictures, updates and anything she felt important. She gave my dog Marvin lots of attention and exercise so I know he was a happy not lonely pup while we were away. Thank you!!!”

“Karen is extremely kind and pleasant. It was hard to tell she was even here! She took great care of our dog, even giving him a bath! He was very happy with her. We would use Karen again!”

“Best dog sitter ever! I have 3 dogs (2 under the age of four) and one that is a super senior that requires daily medication and a cat, so, hard to find the perfect dog watcher. Chris did amazing! I got pictures everyday and they went on many walking adventures”

“Beatrice was so sweet with our 2 little pups. They took to her right away, and when we returned, they seemed to be very comfortable with her! We will certainly reach out to her on our next visit to Burlington. Thanks!”

“John did an amazing job with our dogs this last week. We had booked John for the first time on a last-minute notice, and he did not disappoint! He came over before we left so we could introduce him to our 2 dogs (3 year old Black Lab and 1 year old Shar Pei) and go for a walk with us. While we were gone he stayed in contact with us about the dogs, and sent photos. When we got back home, the bed was stripped, house was clean, and dogs were happy and healthy. We definitely recommend John!”
