House Sitting in West Rutland

“Jillian stayed the weekend with my dog and cat while I was away for the weekend. It’s hard to leave my animals behind, but I was very comfortable with Jillian taking care of them. She even took my dog on a walk while she was here which was very nice of her. I came home to my house just the way I found it, she was very neat. I would definitely hire again if I needed someone. Thank you Jillian!”

“Amazing! I am recommending to people who want their dogs well taken care of. Photos are wonderful when away from your pet and Kasey ensures you get regular updates if you like. I came home to them not realizing I was away.”

About: I've taken care of many different types of animals including dogs, cats, birds, pigs, guinea pigs, and rabbits. They've been all different breeds and sizes. I am willing to travel to your home so that your pet can stay in a familiar and safe environment for them. I work full time during the summer but am available throughout the day to stop at the house when needed and am available for overnights. I like to meet with potential clients beforehand so that they can get to know me and that I can also learn more about their pets, house, and typical schedules. This creates a foundation of trust that is important to my business.

“Evelyn is great! She has done drop in visits and stayed with our dogs overnight! She is so kind and flexible! I can trust that my dogs are safe with her!”

“Jade was a perfect house/pet sitter. She watched my dog and two cats in a last minute request and was very helpful and nice. She was also great at communicating and I appreciated all the picture updates.”

“Grace was wonderful! She took very good care of our girl, Java, while we were gone. She was very flexible when our return flight home was cancelled. It was such a relief to know that Java was in such good hands. We highly recommend Grace for your pet sitting needs!”

“Hannah is a fabulous pet sitter! She watches my 16 year old brown tabby whenever I am out of town. Hannah always takes the time to socialize and play with her in addition to making sure she has fresh water and food, as well as a clean litterbox. Hannah loves all animals, she is great with dogs, too! She goes the extra mile to make sure your pet is comfortable and has whatever they need.”

“Cristina is everything you would ever want in a caregiver for your pet. Not only is she kind and loving but she has a tremendous amount of knowledge of dogs' behaviors and needs gleaned from her own study, from participation in classes taught by renowned trainers and from years of hands on experience with her own dogs. You can be 100% confident that she will be reliable and will go to great lengths to provide exceptional service.”

“Haley was great with our dog Noelle. She provided updates throughout the day of her time with Noelle, and was very communicative and responsive. We would definitely book with Haley again!”

“Tim was great! Prompt and dependable, and a true dog person. Charley was in good hands while we were away, and so was our home. Highly recommend!”

“Zac is extremely attentive and caring to Max, he walked him regularly for years, and only stopped because of a move. Zac took Max from a single walk type of dog to walking in a pack and then bringing him to an open dog park scenario where he helped Max thrive with other dogs. It was great seeing how Zac brought so much out in Max and he is definitely better for having Zac's influence in his life. Max is one of the most important things in my life and I am very particular in who I trust for his care and Zac is definitely one of those people!”

About: I’ve had over 5 dogs growing up in Florida. Before I moved I helped take care of my sisters 3 fur babies. I’m new to Vermont, new to the professional side of pet care but I’m quick to learn. My full time job as a paramedic means I’m gone for long stretches but when I do have time off I have multiple days in between shifts that I can care for your pet with. I have a very large floor plan in my apartment where your dog/cat can explore and play while maintaining safety. I also have a very large yard for our door activities. I have trained dogs in the past and I am very quick to learn your routine so no training lessons or sessions has been missed.

“Tamara was very attentive and sweet with Calvin. He instantly felt comfortable with her and clearly had a great time.”

“Amazing job. We felt so comfortable having Thomas watch our dog and cats while we were away. We had a very bad experience previously with another dog sitter, and he knew that, and really took the extra steps to make sure we knew our babies would be taken care of. He left the house clean and tidy, sent us lots of photos and updates, and was very communicative. Definitley will be using Thomas again everytime!”

“I highly recommend Cindy as a responsible and loving pet caregiver! If I were a dog or cat I would want to live with and be cared for by Cindy.”

“Kayleigh took such good care of our furry kids they almost didn't miss us when we returned. We heard from Kayleigh ever day. She wasn't even in town, 2 hours away, and still came to our house to take care of our pups. What a wonderful sitter and conscientious person she is. It's almost unheard of in this day and age and we thank her. We hope we can some day have Kayleigh stay with our kids again. Rob and Phyllis”

About: I have taken care of pets since I was a little kid! I have experience with pets of all types, ages & personalities. Friends & family have relied on me to walk, feed & housesit for their animals. I work full time time job but I have most mornings free. My schedule rotates so I would not be able to have the same availability every week, but please reach out with dates & times! I would love to make something work. I can come to your house and walk your dog. If you are interested in an overnight board at my house the dog would have to be good with my 15lb poodle mix & two cats. It would be ideal that the dog comes with a crate to stay in, as my dog is crated as well when we are out of the house. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I live near a dog park, and in a nice spot to walk dogs.

About: I have a husky two cats and a bunch of reptiles. The cats can be seperated from any anti kitty pups. I love pets and I love babysitting. I have experience with all age dogs and cats. As well as experience with almost any reptile you can think of :) I work Monday through Friday from home 2pm-8pm so I’m always home to supervise the pups. I can walk whenever needed as my schedule is very flexible and my partner works the same job so she also can step in if needed. We have an unfenced yard that I walk the pups in, dogs always have a leash on before the door opens so no one can sneak out. I do separate bowls in separate rooms for feeding time and have my dog used to being around different dogs so there’s no issues there. I tend to be the kind of sitter that enjoys spending time with your dog rather than just allowing the pup to spend time in my home. Lots of pets kisses and treats are what our house is about:) I will make your pup feel at home.

“I can’t express how wonderful Chrishanna was to help me and watch Jack while I had to go away. And my cats as well. Jack just loves Chrishanna, she took the time to give love, cuddles and play with Jack. He just loves her. Even my kitties came out to get love and cuddles with Chrishanna. She is dependable and wonderful with all the animals!!! They are ready for her to come back soon!!! And me too!!”

“Maggie is awesome! She took amazing care of our husky (and our home) while we were out of town. Our dog was happy and healthy, and we received wonderful pictures and videos. I was completely at ease knowing our pup was in such great hands. I recommend Maggie 1000%!!”
