House Sitting in Waitsfield

“The best. We've had a number of folks house/pet sit in the past, but no one as engaged, down-to-earth, friendly, communicative, responsible, and just plain thoughtful as Anna. With her own dog along for the ride, Anna stayed with our dog and cat at the house here and took care of everything--not as a guest, but as we would have. Maybe better. (Okay, better.) In the end, really, leaving your pets in the care of another person isn't about the number of scoops of kibble or where the poop bags go. It's about trust. When we first met Anna, she immediately came across as a friend to trust. She of course proved herself in spades. We feel lucky to have found you! Thank you so much, Anna!”

“Taylor was a wonderful pet sitter! She was incredibly communicative before and during our time away and shared lots of daily updates. Our pets seemed immediately comfortable with her and she took great care of our space. We won't hesitate to book with Taylor again!”

About: I've owned and taken care of dogs my entire life. I'm proud to be one of the first people friends and family call when a petsitter is needed. I love walking, and I love dogs. This seems like the perfect opportunity to exercise and get my animal fix! I'm currently working full-time Monday through Friday. I can do evening walks after 5:00 PM (as weather allows) and I can do weekends between 9:00 AM - 6 PM. My current apartment doesn't allow pets, but I can housesit on weekends or in the evenings if the location is somewhat close to my work in Waterbury. I'm a long-time vegetarian, and have always had an extra sensitive heart when it comes to animals. I think that earning an animal's trust is such a privilege and gift, and I honor that. I cannot house pets in my current apartment, but I will follow the guidance and knowledge of the owners in their homes and while on walks.

“We were so lucky to get Giuli on a somewhat short notice. She took great care of our dogs and house - we're looking forward to booking her again!”

“Sophie stayed with our Border Collie and 2 cats while we were gone and she was truly wonderful. She gave our pup good long walks and her calm presence even managed to coax our very skittish cat to come out of hiding. She sent lots of pictures and updates, which we really appreciated. We don't leave the animals often, so when we do, it's very comforting to know that they're in good hands. She also left the house in perfect shape. We highly recommend Sophie!”

About: I truly enjoy the opportunity to care for dogs of all ages and of all types. It’s not just a source of income, but something I truly enjoy. I frequently dog and house sit for family and friends, and look forward to doing the same for you. I currently have open availability to dedicate to taking care of your pups. I am happy to check in on them, take them for walks, make sure they are fed, provide overnight pet sitting (at your home). I had a pup of my own for fourteen years, but don’t have one at the moment. I look forward to the opportunity! I am available to walk, feed, and pet sit at your home. Long walks for exercise, spending time to be sure they are comfortable, whatever is required. I unfortunately do not have boarding at my home as the building I’ve lived in for nearly twenty years is designated a “historical landmark” and pets are prohibited.

“Meghan was awesome!! This was our first time spending the long weekend at our home with our two pups. She took them on long walks, checked in often with photos and was very respectful of our house too- even doing dishes and laundry (thank you Meghan!) one of our pups is a little anxious but Meghan was very attentive and caring and made sure to check in about anything that I didn’t leave a note about. An excellent experience! Will definitely book with Meghan again ?”

“Linda was amazing. She kept our fur babies company while we were away and we were able to relax knowing they were in good hands.”

About: As a former medical coordinator in mental health, busy coffee shop manager, mother to two adult boys and companion of a 14 year old dog, I can promise you your pet and home will be in loving hands. I have taken care of multiple friends pets over the years including one dog that was blind and another who had diabetes. You can be assured your pet will be taken care of with love and patience. My pup will stay home with his older brother while I pet sit. I do work 40 hours a week at a coffee shop in Waterbury, VT. If local, I can adjust my schedule as needed but will need a couple days where I will be gone about 8 hours or so. Love going for long walks in the morning and afternoon. In addition to loving going for walks, I've been able to follow specific requests that are more personalized for the pet and the homeowner. Whether that be specific times for walks, medications or unusual feeding routines I've got you covered.

About: We are Isa and Billy - newly weds living in Hershey who love adventures! We had dogs and cats in our lives since about 5 years old! We both grew up with multiple dogs (mostly labs) we now have a rescue of our own named Calla! She is a love bug who just wants to play and cuddle! We love training dogs and teaching them new tricks, we have experience with puppies and dogs in heat. If you want a loving couple who works from home to be with your pet while you are away, we are happy to help and take them on adventures! We go on dog walks 2-3 times per day, we also go for hikes or kayak rides on the weekends. We love taking our pup to the dog park too (only during off hours when there are max 2-3 dogs in the park) We have loads of beds and toys for pups to play with and be cozy in! We can feed and provide treats as often as you’d like since we work from home. We can provide baths, take dogs on runs, go swimming, etc! We have backgrounds in healthcare and can help with medicine administration and other medical pet needs.

“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: I have been working with animals for the last ten years. Started working in dog daycares and moved my way up to vet medicine where i now am a vet technician. I am patient and understanding to all pets personalities and ages. I am currently working 3 days a week on a specialty service at a veterinary hospital. My weekends are typically free and I would love to fill the time with your furry loved ones. Will be very respectful of your home and make giving your sweet boy or girl my devoted attention. Back yard fence in play is great but leash walks are also great!

“Alison did a great job with our two cats while we were away for a week. Very professional, understanding of feline behavior, and took the time to know them. We've asked her to come back & stay with Boo & Tyson when we do a short trip in September. I would recommend Alison to any pet parent.”

About: I grew up on a farm around all kinds of animals, so caring for them has always been second nature to me. I’ve loved and cared for many dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I genuinely enjoy making animals feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have a flexible schedule as I am in between jobs right now and have plenty of availability for pet care, walks, check-ins, and overnight stays. I try to keep pets as comfortable and relaxed as possible by sticking closely to their normal routines. Whether I’m caring for pets in their home or mine, I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, play, affection, and a calm environment. I also understand how important communication is, so I like to keep owners updated with photos and check-ins while they’re away.

“My babies are everything to me. We hardly travel without them because we haven’t found anyone yet who can or is willing to care for them in a way that I’m content with. Enter Laura. Laura proves her trustworthiness by her excellent care and communication before booking. She is very competent regarding what I feel to be more complex pup situations. Added bonus, she is active and is able to give my high energy pups a good amount of exercise. My partner and I were able to have a fantastic time away without any worries. I am thrilled with Laura, and hope she is interested in working with us again!”
