Pet Sitting in Vergennes

“My dog's name is Alaska, she's a 12-year-old dog who loves Nicole. Whenever I have to go on a trip, Alaska stays with Nicole and I have never had any problems. I'm very sure it doesn't miss me when I go on a trip.”

“Lorrie treats my pup like royalty. Extremely reliable and she goes above and beyond to care for my dog. My dog is recovering from surgery and she’s followed his complicated medication schedule with ease. She’s the best!”

About: I have had pets in the family for as long as I have been around. I have my own 9 year old dog and a family Great Dane. I have pet sat for both young playful puppies that need to be exercised constantly as well as old pups that need extra care and bathroom breaks. I’m good with both big dogs and little I’m currently looking for a part-time job so I’ll have plenty of time to take your pups on walk or spend the day with them. I am available on weekdays as well as weekends I currently don’t have the capability of taking your pets to my home but depending on services you would like if there’s no fenced in yard walks are just as easy.

“Kristina was super reliable and took very good care of our little guy Guinness while we were away! Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve cared for animals since I was a child from dogs and cats to horses and working on farms. I now have three dogs that I have raised and trained since puppies. They are now 5,7, and 12. I have an overwhelming love for all animals. I’m currently working at the Wheel Inn in Benson, VT. I work nights and weekends so I have extra free time during daytime hours in the week. My pets at home run free, but I do have a small area fenced in if need. When caring for others pets I will follow any guidelines they have for their pets.

“Excellent pre-visit communication. Interested in having a thorough understanding of our dog’s needs. Professional.”

“Alexandra was terrific! We were so happy she was able to take care of our poochies for us while we were out of town, and we were especially delighted that she bonded with our older dog, who is not fond of many people. We really appreciated her reassuring communications. Five stars!”

About: Having 21 years of personal pet care experience, both on and off of a farm, I have general knowledge of dog obedience training, socialization training and general grooming of both dogs and cats. I am always willing to learn new things, especially for the sake of the animals that I am responsible for, as well as encourage them to have fun, feel loved and know that they are always in the best care! I have high standards for myself in this regard, so you can always expect that your pet will be in the best hands. Not only that, but you can also count on my loving your furry friend as my very own. I work full time, Monday - Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM; I take hour long lunch breaks, traveling home to care for my pup and taking care of business in between. Weekends are open, within reason, and I am willing to modify my schedule for the right person and pet. I will follow clients’ specific guidelines on how to care for their pet(s), observing and reporting anything and everything that occurs during each visit. Routine and consistency is everything, and I will follow these to a “T”!

About: I have always had dogs my whole life and I love to be around animals of all kinds! I have worked at a kennel and a small animal hospital, where I had the opportunity to handle and play with all sorts of sizes, breeds and temperaments of dogs. I love going on dog walks, since it’s so special to be able to interact with a dog in a more relaxed environment. I think that exercise is a crucial part of a dogs life and I would love to help anyone that may not have quite enough time to get their dog out and about as much as they would like to. I have an extremely flexible schedule! I am a college student who's home for the summer and looking to spend some quality time with some furry friends! I can easily work around whatever schedule works best for you. I am happy to accommodate any specific requirements and needs your pet may have! Having grown up with and worked around all types of animals, I understand that every pet has different needs and how important it is for them to have a routine.

“Emily is a responsible college student who has a genuine love for all animals. She gives her own pets so much attention and love. Emily is the first one to play fetch with her dog or sit on the couch and snuggle with a sleepy pup. Emily takes responsibility seriously and follows through on her commitments. She is reliable and trustworthy. These qualities along with her love of animals makes Emily a great pet caregiver.”

“She is the best she did daily check in, she sent us daily pictures and updates. There were in the best care for 3 weeks i loved how she worked and how flexible she was definitely recommend her and will definitely choose her again.”

About: My name is Melissa and I have taken care of animals since my first dog in second grade. I currently have one 15 year old cat, a 12 year old Labrador, and a 10 year old Shih-Tzo. For many years my spouse and I fostered or adopted senior dogs who may not have had a chance to be adopted. I have open availability on weekends, however on weekdays I am available early mornings, evenings and overnights. I’m not available during the daytime on weekdays. I am experienced feeding animals in a variety of ways and will follow your instructions on feeding and walking. I ensure animals are well cared for, played with, and that they receive the attention and care needed.

“Karen was fantastic! My pup was quite the handful (first time) & she was so patient & knowledgeable & really went the extra mile above & beyond. Highly recommend!”

About: I have worked at two doggy daycares, and this experience has given me the ability to understand what your dog needs and how to keep your best friend safe, happy, and healthy. I have a wealth of experience in pet care. Throughout my life, I have been responsible for taking care of my two dogs at home, as well as living with eight cats for a period of six months. Currently, I am a proud owner of a cat. Additionally, I have been caring for non-domestic animals, such as chickens, for the past eight years. Moreover, I have the opportunity to work with large groups of dogs on a daily basis. It's truly a fulfilling experience to provide care and support to these wonderful creatures. Animals require more mental stimulation than people may think. Just like humans, they thrive on mental stimulation. That's why it's crucial for animals to have social interactions with both humans and other animals. Providing exercise and outdoor time is essential for their well-being. That's why I always make sure to take my dogs and cats on regular walks. Additionally, I prioritize their overall health by ensuring they have plenty of nourishing food. It's all about keeping our furry friends happy and healthy!

“Miah has been absolutely amazing with my 2 puppies (1 year 2 months, and 4 months). My larger one is 60 lbs and she has no issues walking him, and he can be a handful sometimes. She is very reasonable, flexible with scheduling, and gives detailed updates if you’d like them! I have only good things to say about her, and would 100% recommend her to any dog owner!”

“Amanda was very pleasant. She was very experienced and knowledgeable with puppies. She went above and beyond on a last minute drop in request.”

About: I have been a dog owner for the past twenty years and can honestly say I could not live without them! They have so many endearing qualities: fun loving, patient, non-judgemental, the list goes on and on. My promise to you is to treat your dog with the utmost respect and care that he or she deserves. After all, they are family. I am available weekday mornings and most weekends. I can offer play time, companionship, walks around town and general TLC. I can promise you your dog will not find a better friend, other than you of course! I can also help with dogs that have special needs. When my dog was a puppy he suffered a broken leg and he had a pin in his hip for quite some time. I nursed him back to health with the vets guidance. The bottom line is I will take care of your pooch!

About: I’ve been around lots of dogs my whole life and have experience potty training and behavior training them as well. Dogs have always been a passion of mine and I would love to take care of yours as well. I work full time from 7:30 to 5 Monday through Friday but on my free time I would love to check on or hangout with your pups and I am always free to pet sit at your house or mine depending on your preference! I just like to make sure that everyone is happy and comfortable, whether that be having lots of toys or having their own space to chill out alone.

About: Relationship with animals has always been a passion of mine. I started grooming dogs with my grandmother at the age of 10, but was her assistant long before I earned the title. It brings me joy and fulfillment to care for pups and cats alike, while creating an environment where they (and you) can feel safe and earn my trust in the process. As a part time bartender at Pascolo Restaurant in Downtown Burlington, it would fit into my schedule to walk dogs in the morning, afternoon and early evening as well as weekends. There is a lot of freedom to work around your schedule :) In my home, I live off of Main Street in Vergennes and can provide safe walking around town as well as some of the trails near by. In your home, I am quick to adapt to whatever will make you most comfortable!
