Dog Sitting in Vernon

“Jen was absolutely amazing! She provided very in depth notes about our 3 pets after each visits and gave us some great pictures. My pets felt very comfortable with her and loved snuggling. I will definitely rebook with her and will recommend her to everyone!”

About: ⸻ What sets me apart from other sitters is my calm, intuitive approach to animal care—think “Mary Poppins meets animal whisperer.” I don’t just watch pets; I create a nurturing, structured environment where they feel safe, loved, and engaged. I have experience with a wide range of animals, from playful puppies to senior pets who need extra patience and gentle handling. I’m comfortable with administering medication, managing special diets, and adapting routines to meet each pet’s physical and emotional needs. For puppies, I focus on positive reinforcement, helping with basic training, crate comfort, and establishing good habits early on. For senior pets, I provide thoughtful care—whether that’s supporting mobility, sticking to precise medication schedules, or simply offering quiet companionship. Beyond the basics, I bring a warm energy, attention to detail, and a genuine love for animals that always shines through. My goal is for both pets and their humans to feel completely at ease—like they’ve found a sitter who’s not just capable, but truly cares. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine—it’s not something I squeeze in; it’s something I prioritize. Whether I’m walking dogs, administering medication, or simply spending quiet time with a senior pet, I structure my schedule to ensure each animal gets consistent, focused attention. I plan my days around the needs of the pets in my care, from early morning potty breaks to evening feedings and bedtime routines. I also build in time for play, enrichment, and cuddles—because emotional wellbeing is just as important as physical care. If I’m caring for multiple pets or have bookings throughout the week, I stay organized with detailed notes, reminders, and plenty of communication with owners. For me, caring for animals isn’t a job I clock in and out of—it’s a rhythm I genuinely enjoy being part of. Pet care for clients home • Feeding & Fresh Water: Administer meals according to the pet’s schedule and dietary needs. • Daily Exercise & Play: Walks, fetch, playtime, or enrichment activities based on the pet’s energy level. • Routine Maintenance: Cleaning litter boxes, picking up waste, and ensuring the area is tidy. • Medication Administration: If required, administer medications or supplements as instructed. • Home Care: Bringing in mail, watering plants, adjusting lights, and maintaining a lived-in appearance. • Communication: Sending daily updates, photos, or videos to the client.

About: I have two 8 year old dogs that I’ve rescued from shelters. My wife and I have raised them since they were 7 months old. Both of my dogs are full of energy and love going for walks. I work 3pm-11pm so I am always available in the morning for walks especially if you have a high energy dog that needs to be walked and you are unable to due to work. I work 3pm-11pm so that makes me available everyday in the morning. I can do morning walks or lunchtime walks right before I leave for work. I have two medium size dogs with high energy drive that I take for walks daily. So I have experience to keep your dog safe on walks. I always walk at the dogs pace and let them sniff around and enjoy the environment they are in.

About: My family had many pets growing up. I enjoy making connections with pets by showing patience, lovings, empathy, prioritize safety and of course have respect for the owners. I’m an educator home for the summer eager to keep busy with animals!! Most of the time, I’ll be able to tweak my routine to accommodate services. I would treat every pet the way I treat my own pet. Spoiled! I truly enjoy being attentive to their needs and especially their WANTS.

“Kathy L, chefs kiss!! she was absolutley AMAZING!! My fur baby Rex and I met Kathy on a Thursday and we both instantly were drawn to her and she was the MOST PERFECT FIT for us and we welcomed her in our lives on Friday, again she was just perfect. While dealing with some prety devestating medical health issues with my sister in Texas and needing to travel immediatley, I was secure with Kathy caring for my fur baby while I was 1600 miles away I never worried about him with her and I was able to completely focus on my sister. Kudos to Rover.com for having someone like Kathy on your team!! If you're in the Manchester CT area make sure you book her you will not be dissappointed!!!”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs, and recently lost my girl after she battled kidney disease. I’m a work-from-home young professional looking to share my love & experience with dogs. I currently work from home and have the freedom to work from anywhere. My schedule is very flexible, so your dog will have access to potty breaks and walks whenever they need. I will always respect your space and abide by any rules or requests from you. I believe staying in your home allows your pup(s) to be the most comfortable they can be while they’re missing you!

“The first day I was gone my dog got sprayed by a skunk (of course). So so appreciated Michael handling it so I didn’t have to worry while I was gone”

About: I have always been surrounded by pets; enjoy giving plenty of attention; and have cared for their well-being (bathing, administering medications, monitoring recuperations after illness/surgery). I work full-time (leave home at 7:30 a.m. and I am home by 4:30 p.m.) and have my evenings and weekends free. I am available for check-ins, walks, and stays. Your companion would be cared for by keeping to his/her routine/schedule, keeping them safe, following any additional instructions, and giving them lots of attention and playtime.

“Elyse went above and beyond. She had challenges with Callie and had to give her medication and shots twice a day and clean up after her as she had issues with her litter box as well. Unfortunately Callie became ill while I was away and Elyse promptly called my vet and took Callie into the office. She kept me updated every day on her visits with my two cats with pictures. I would recommend Elyse to anyone.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since my family got one as a child, and regularly care for family/friends animals overnight when they are away. Getting to make a dog or cat happy with play time or a walk is the greatest gift I work full time from home, so can take dogs on a walk during lunch, and take care of animals overnight on weekends. Holidays are available as well I will follow any and all rules you set forth to best protect your fur baby, whether that be a harness while walking or crating

“Renata was an unbelievable petsitter for our dog and cat! She got to know them so quickly, took outstanding care of them (I could see how happy they were with her in the pics and video she sent) and went above and beyond in every way possible, putting us at complete ease while we were away. I cannot recommend Renata highly enough, we feel so incredibly fortunate to have found her! We hope we never have to have anyone else care for our pets after such a great experience with Renata, she is simply THE BEST!!! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU, RENATA!!!”
