House Sitting in Vermontville

“Julia was awesome with Isaac and kept me updated throughout the day with pictures and messages. I felt very comfortable with her immediately and will absolutely reach out to her again with future bookings! I also want to note how accommodating she was - arriving at 5:30am so I could get to an important meeting. I so appreciate her punctuality and ability to take in Isaac’s care plan so quickly. Isaac is a shy rescue and it takes a special person for him to warm up so quickly. Thank you, Julia!”

“Lena did a great job with or 2 cats and 3 dogs including a dog with a developmental disability! We got lots of pictures while we were away including some with the tell tale blurred tail. Proof positive of wagging tails. All are pets are rescues, one recent Finn, who is still learning to trust new people. She passed the Finn test with flying colors!”

About: I've taken care of neighbors cats and dogs since middle school in my hometown. I've grown up with pets my whole life and greatly understand their needs and the responsibilities associated with pet care. I’m a clear and responsive communicator and will always listen to how you want your pet cared for. I also enjoy going for runs and hikes, so if your dog has a lot of energy, we will get along well! I’m excited to meet your pet(s)! I am able to do overnights with pets and can visit them during mornings, midday, and nights. I can take last minute bookings. I work a flexible schedule during the week. I make sure to assess the comfortability of the animal before settling into the house. I try to keep it a quiet atmosphere until the animal feels comfortable being around me. I make sure that they are my priority and I give them full attention given that they're most likely stressed. I will respect the owners house and belongings.

“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!”

“Emily takes excellent care of our pets, communication is always timely and she sends updates and photos! She went above and beyond when we had an unexpected water issue in our home, helping us out by cleaning, calming our pets and being available to let necessary workers come into the house until we were able to get home.”

“Shelby was a wonderful sitter for Juniper. She made herself available on very short notice and took great care of Juniper who is recovering from surgery. She sent detailed updates and was lovely to communicate with. We would be happy to book with her again!”

About: I’ve helped take care of my family’s Australian Labradoodle, Penny, ever since we got her, 5 years ago. In these past couple years I’ve facilitated dozens of “doggy play dates” (communal dog walking and play time at dog parks and backyards) with dogs of all different sizes. I am very comfortable and confident with all types of dogs, and often dog sit and dog walk for friends and neighbors when they are out of town. I currently live in Burlington and am free on weekends and after 5pm MWF and after 6pm Tuesday and Thursday. I am able to spend as much time as needed with your pets if it makes you, or them, more comfortable! I’m comfortable caring for pets in new environments. I can crate, feed, walk, and play with your animals, and will be clean and respectful to your space and home.

“Shauna was fantastic with Fred & Mojo - came over earlier in the week to meet them and do a practice run pilling the cat (which is ALWAYS a challenge for someone who she doesn't know). So great to have someone who really cares take care of your pets.”

“Carolyn took great care of all of our pets. I really appreciated the text and photo updates, and the critters were all content when we came home. Will definitely book her again the next time we take a trip!”

About: I have a full range of animal history and care. I have chosen dogs to accommodate and love unconditionally when you must be away from your best friend! I offer a variety of animal care and services, including one on one to fun play sessions for pets with like personalities. I am confident we can find what is necessary and essential for each unique situation. We don’t have problems we specialize in solutions together! I am currently retired and found a way to incorporate exercise and love for animals in a great combination for both myself and our furry faces. I travel regularly to render my time and care for others pets in many locations. I have many opportunities and accommodations to suit each unique dog situation. I am willing to follow pet owners regiment to almost an exact replica if possible. Let’s talk a see how I can help make the transition stress free when you must be apart. I travel to accommodate situations necessary.

“Alli watched our two dogs for about a week and it was great! She was very communicative, sent lots of pictures and updates multiple times a day. I fully trusted my babies in her care, and felt very comforted knowing they were doing good while we were away. She left our apartment very clean - stripped the bed, took out the garbage, etc. We have nothing but good things to say, and our pups are happy too ?”

“Eliza took good care of my dog and house while I was gone for a week-long work trip. She is responsible and communicates well. I would recommend her to others and would ask her to dog sit again in the future!”

Jenni S.

“Rachel was great with Gibson, we could tell right away she has great affection for dogs. She sent multiple photos every walk/feeding letting us know our pup was in good hands while we were away....we strongly recommend her and will be using her anytime we need a pet sitter from this point forward!”

Peter C.

“Michelle was so kind and personable. I loved that she came to the meet and greet for our housesitting with a pen and notepad! She was a pro at giving our husky his meds, the house was left clean, and she was easy to communicate with while we were gone. Thanks, Michelle!”

About: I've owned a dog ever since I was 12 years old. Dogs have gotten me through the best and worst parts of my life. I have a background in physical therapy and massage and for years I enjoyed bringing my dog to work every day, she became the nursing home mascot, seeing the joy she brought to both my patients and coworkers made every day at work a great day :). I work in Saranac Lake and Lake Placid as an independent contractor. My work schedule/hours can be very flexible/adjusted accordingly as long as I have advanced notice to plan accordingly. I live on 4.5 acres with a long driveway set back from the road. My property backs up to a wooded trail network. I also have a very large, gated Freedom Fenced in dog play area on my property. Dogs are free to all areas of home without restriction. Unfortunately, my husband and I are allergic to cats so I am unable to board them. I do have a 3 year old daughter, so if boarding, pet must be good around children. I also do not board or provide in home services for dogs that are exposed to smoking or vaping of any kind. Please note; when providing pet care services, I will never leave a dog unsupervised, or under the care of anyone other than myself.

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.
