House Sitting in Vernon

“Maggie is a wonderful housesitter. Our very anxious grouchy dog took an immediate liking to her. We will definitely be using Maggie to house and dog sit the next time we go away.”

“Doreen and Cindy were excellent house guests and took very good care of our dogs. We have a very shy dog that took to them immediately which put us at ease for travel. Would recommend.”

“Diane was fantastic, she watched our two dogs and stayed at our house while we were out of state for over a week. On the initial meet, our dogs were immediately comfortable around her (one of our dogs is a rescue and very skittish around new people). She knew how to approach her slowly, and our dog was comfortable within minutes. She provided regular updates during the stay, and communicated any concerns she had with them. The house was cleaner than when we left it, and our dogs were in great condition. We will be using her again the next time we travel and would recommend her to anyone!”

“Maddy did a fantastic job sitting with our pup! She was very attentive to our needs. Rupert, our pup, absolutely adored her. I could tell from the first time they met, but more than that, he didn't look like he had lost weight when we returned. That means to me that he didn't miss us as much as usual ;) I also was happy with the updates. I knew she was enjoying him just as much as he did her. She not only took great care of Rupert but of our house and plants too! I highly recommend her. She is the best!”

“Some people are just born dog people. Daniel C. Is one. He loves dogs and they love him. He’s also a great dog service person. Dependable. Responsible. Reasonable. Everything you would want in someone who will take care of your pet. A 5 on a scale of 1-5. Sue C.”

“Xixi was amazing and really went above and beyond for me and my pup :) highly recommend they even helped my neighbor out ! Great job :) ? ?”

“Amelia took great care of Ilo, who has some behavioural quirks of his own. She sent us daily updates and we could see that he was very happy under her care. She was house sitting for several days, and the house was left in impeccable state. We really recommend her!”

“Kiersten is very easy to communicate with and took great care of my dog, Luna. She sent me lots of pictures of their time together and was very flexible when our plans changed. I would definitely hire her again.”

About: I’ve taken care of my parent’s dog, friends and relatives when they need someone to walk, feed, and watch over them. I enjoy playing with them and especially walking since I love walking 13+ miles a day, if I don’t have school! I am a full-time college student that works part-time as a letter carrier. I wanted to fit pet sitting/walking on the weekdays as I find myself having more free time after my classes. I can accommodate to the dogs needs! Unfortunately I cannot house sit at my home, but I can absolutely come to you! I would just like a heads-up on the times! I love brushing dogs and giving them baths (though more experienced with small breeds on bathing).

“Kristen Was Great! Beau Immediately Took to Her. She Kept Me Up to Date & Informed About Beau’s Care Throughout the Day. She is Dedicated & Has Earned My Trust!”

“Eli was always in a household with cats since he was very young. He has two golden retrievers at his home that he totally adores. He has never met an animal that he shows both love and kindness. He has a very calm demeanor and would be more than capable of caring for any animal.”

“Margaret was awesome to work with. I had an emergency the week before our trip and she was incredibly flexible and accommodating. I have an anxious dog who barks a lot at new people and she calmed him down quickly with her relaxed demeanor. I felt very comfortable leaving him with her. While we were away, she sent sweet updates and photos of our dog. I would hire her again in a heartbeat.”

“Dakota did great with my very anxious, fear-aggressive dog. He also kept the puppy on a great house training routine. Dakota responded quickly and was available on short notice.”

“Kendra was wonderfully communicative and took great care of Cookie and Bean whole house sitting this weekend - I know they are excited for the next time she is over, thank you!”

“Trish took SUCH good care of Tig, giving her lots of attention, treats, cuddles and taking her out for adventures. I came home to a very happy doggy. Trish also sent regular updates, which I love. Tig usually has a hard time when I’m gone for the day, let alone several days, but she had a great time and I knew I didn’t have to worry because she was in Trish’s capable hands :)”

“Thanks for making Juni feel normal while we were away. Our house is in great shape of course and if we need a sitter again we'll definitely be back.”

“Anna has cared for my dog Ollie multiple times and I trust and appreciate her completely! Ollie absolutely LOVES Anna and is always so excited to see her. Anna is always sure to give him long walks and also gives him an abundance of love and engagement. I feel so grateful to know there’s someone who can give Ollie so much attention and care when I’m away.”

About: Experienced pet-sitter with a widely flexible schedule available for any needs you may have for your pet! On top of pet-sitting and day trip/walking experience I have experience as an assistant groomer from working for The Green Groomer in Northampton, MA which you are welcome to get in touch with as a reference. I also worked at a Dog Daycare in the Boston area before moving to Western MA, where I was involved with many responsibilities surrounding the pups including providing their meals, pick-ups/drop-offs, de-escalation of conflict, and general moderation of behavior. Working in this field has granted me the opportunity to work with dogs of all temperaments, ages, and sizes and has taught me how to interact with pups from all walks of life. On top of that I have experience with bathing, nails, and ear cleanings from my time at the Green Groomer. My schedule is extremely flexible, with open availability during the week before 3PM, making check-ins during the work day hassle free, and my shift never getting out later than 10:30PM, so overnight boardings are still not a problem during my work week. I also have Friday-Sundays off so long weekend boardings are always an option. Please let me know in advance of any house rules for your pup (i.e furniture rules, dietary restrictions, routine scheduling) and I will be sure to follow them with the same consistency you would. In regards to boarding with me they would be boarded in a pet-free, smoke-free, child-free condo with a large unfenced yard in the back for leashed outings when needed!

“Megan did a great job feeding my 2 cats while I was on vacation. They were on a twice a day schedule and she made sure to feed them in yhe mornign and night. She also stayed a while to give them affection and attention. When I got home everything was locked up tight, and everything was just as it was when I left.”

“Michelle was a great sitter! Highly recommend She was on time for both appointments. She followed our feeding schedule and bathroom schedule. Took great care of our dog in our home for a full day. She is polite and friendly and cleaned up after herself and our dog . Can’t wait to have her sit again.”
