“Taryn was awesome during a very long day puppy sitting our 3.5month old Brittany (not an easy ask, as we all know). Our puppy loved her from the first second to the last, and we were very pleased with all aspects of the service. I would highly recommend Taryn to anyone.”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and am very accustomed to taking care of them, providing exercise, feeding, cuddling, etc… My childhood dogs were very sweet and I spent many hours walking them around the neighborhood and playing inside with toys while being responsible for their feeding/cleaning. I have a lot of experience with leashed walks, dog parks, electric fences/collars, inside pee pee pads and more. I also have experience working with elder dogs as well as anxious/reactive dogs. I’ve had many multi day to multi week long dog sitting experiences. Dog sitting has taken me all over the US, including Vermont, Maine, NYC and Santa Cruz, California! I work remote for an educational travel organization based out of Vermont! Because of this I have lots of free time to travel and move around. Working remote gives me a very flexible schedule, and I can be available at home with your loved dogs as much as needed to fit their schedule :) I am happy to come to your home and take care of your pets in your space. I am well versed with house sitting and respecting clients homes. I am comfortable walking dogs, using crates, fenced areas and whatever other set up is needed. I am happy to collect the mail and water plants. I am an early to bed, quiet, respectful gal!

“Emilee arrived on time and provided us with her presence that the care of our dog Elkie was in good hands. At the end of our scheduled stay we were unable to comply with the arranged end time because of a medical condition that required us to go to the ER. Easily 9.5 hours later Emilee was able to return to her home. We received regular updates, photos and reassurance that our dog was receiving quality care. I highly recommend that you consider calling her to answer to your pet’s care.”

“Brandy provides thorough and loving care to your critters when you need to be away. We are so grateful for the gentle care she provided our kitties (and the chicken care too)! Brandy also provided oral and topical meds for our older cats. We highly recommend her.”

About: I try to make my place a home away from home. We’re a very active family and the dogs will get lots of playtime both inside and out. Both my children absolutely love every dog they have met and are not intimidated by breed or size. I have owned dogs my entire life and have worked at a doggy daycare and boarding facility for the past 3yrs. We tend to do a lot of hiking and swimming that the dogs will be included in whenever possible. We have a large mainly shaded fenced in yard that the dogs will have access to all day. I am very patient and caring and will care for your dog as if it were my own. Thank you ? I am currently working full time 730am-4pm about 20min from my home. I do go home on lunch so I will be able to let them out to play, potty and have lunch if needed. Dogs will go outside one last time at midnight( I am a light sleeper so will wake if they need to potty) and will go out again at 530am. Dogs that come to my home will be treated as my own. I have two dogs myself who absolutely love to play and always welcome new friends. I also have a 4yr old and a 7yr old who have never met an animal they do not like and enjoy helping care for any animal in our home. Animals are allowed on the furniture, bedrooms and in our kiddie pool of they like to swim. We are also within walking distance of a brook deep enough to cool off in. If there osever an emergency I am less than 5min from our local vet.

About: I have taken care of many animals, from aquatic to a variety furry friends. I am always willing to offer a hand in any kind of care or training that is needed to be kept up while their humans are away so that you can be sure the critters are getting the best care and love while you’re away. Hello! A little about me, I am an all around animal lover! Every morning and night our 3 girls go on long walks and every afternoon we set time aside specifically for playtime. Going to lakes in the summer and fall is one of their favorite activities, especially if we are going out on a boat! I have 3 female dogs, both very friendly. We have an underground fence, though I would keep your fur baby on a leash when we go outside. We have a nice yard, about half an acre, live near a stream and love taking walks around the neighborhood.

About: For all my dog sitting clients, after each sit I leave homemade dog treats, keeping allergy’s and food sensitivity’s in mind. I have gotten so much great feedback about them! Pet sitting is apart of my weekly routine, in and outside of school. I pet sit year round on top of school, and volunteering. I do pet sitting full time as my only income. I care for pets in clients home, treating the property with respect, while also making myself at home and leaving the animals comfortable and in routine.

About: Hello! My whole life i’ve grown up with dogs, cats, and farm animals! Animals are a huge part of my life and I love caring for them! I started pet sitting and dog walking since I was 16! Please reach out with any questions and i’d be happy to answer! :) I have a very flexible work schedule. I work a restaurant job so I’m free during the day most days! I would be able to take pets out multiple times a day as well as take them on long walks/runs etc. I live on a dead end street in a residential neighborhood. I love getting outside and taking dogs on long runs/walks/hikes. Lots of cuddles, treats, and walks is how I’ve always cared for my pets and would do the same for yours!

“Hayley is AMAZING!! One of my cats is very social and the other is shy. She got BOTH of them playing, brushed them, and made sure they knew they were loved on top of the bare minimum of feeding them and giving my old lady her meds. She even checked to make sure my hamster was still breathing while I was away since it was always during my hamster’s sleep time that she was there. Highly recommend. Will be using again if I ever am going away and she is available”

“What a dear person. Nadine is a natural with knowledge and a love of animals. She showed great judgement, and was kind enough to let me know when our cat was in for the night. She was thoughtful, and clearly is great with animals. Our cat was thoroughly in love.”

About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of animals. I have no fear of animals, but of course have a respect and solid knowledge of animal behaviorism. I would do anything for the safety, care and happiness of animals. I’m a marriage and family therapist, but I have a passion for caring for animals too. My cup is filled hy working with animals. I love them so. I don’t have others’ pets in my home out of respect for my own children (three cats) but I will care for your animals the way I expect my sitters to care for my babies. Ex: I have about a 12 page document for them to follow.

“Penny is very intuitive and i so appreciate how she honored the unique needs and desires of my while I was on a 2 day/night trip. Great communication and i loved the photos and updates sent. Felt safe leaving my pups and home in the care of Penny. Look forward to booking her again soon!!”

Captolia E.

“Kaeleen took excellent care of our cat while we were away! She was very communicative and trustworthy and our kitty seemed very happy when we got home.”

Jessica H.

“Leona was wonderful with Romeo - he was really calm and happy when I returned. She communicated well, sent updates with photos and left my home better than she found it. I’m booking her for another cat/housesit right now!”

About: Lost my fur baby almost 2 years ago. I raised her from a puppy, I also had another dog as well along with cats. My other dog was a rescue so I’m well versed in dogs with anxiety and other social challenges. I do not shy away from dogs with all kinds of different behaviors and quirks. I love dogs (and cats!) and miss having a dog by my side. I would love to help care for other’s fur babies when they’re in need of outside support. I have a degree in Animal Science and am well versed in animal care. I can clip nails, give meds, care for wounds, support with behavioral challenges and socialization, grooming, etc. I like to provide ample exercise through hikes in the woods and walks. I am also open to taking them places like dog parks or vet appointments. I am available and able to handle multiple animals at a time. I have owned dogs and cats my whole life and have done pet, farm and house sitting since I was a kid off and on throughout the years. I have consistently watched a coworkers dog when she is away as well as other friends and family. Currently in the process of moving and am unsure which days I will have off my regular job. Typically I have a job where I determine the hours so I have ample time to pet sit as well. I currently can’t provide boarding services but may be able to again in the future. I am trustworthy in your home and find most animals are most comfortable and secure in their own homes.
