About: Currently a golden retriever and cat mom, my love for animals began when I was a child. In my adult life, I have owned a Corgi, St. Bernard, and cats that I have cared for their entire lives. I am looking to help others in need of pet care, whether it is a daily walk or visit, or overnight boarding. I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule to help with pet care. I can provide daily walks or outside time as needed. Dogs and cats are like family to me. Your pet will be treated as one of my own - with lots of love and attention!

“Simply amazing! Rushi sent cute photos and updates to put my mind at ease - Alan had a blast with her family and sweet little toddler. They took him on walks, gave lots of love and kept me updated throughout :)”

“This was Apollo's first time away from us, and we were a bit worried. However, based on the detailed request/information we provided, Mikayla and James did a great job taking care of him. They kept us updated with lots of messages, including a couple of photos and movie clips, which we loved. We would definitely love to have them look after Apollo again in the future!”



“Christina was amazing! She took care of our small pup, Hazel, for 5 days and did a fantastic job. We felt completely at ease knowing Hazel was safe and well cared for in Christina’s hands. She sent us daily updates and photos, which made us feel so connected even while we were away. It’s clear that Christina truly loves animals and goes above and beyond to make sure they’re happy and comfortable. We couldn’t recommend her more highly!”


“Victoria is a wonderful petsitter. Nala is happy every time she sees her. They went hiking, great pictures and also they celebrated Nala's birthday. I am very pleased with her services. Thank you so much for everything.”


“The ultimate pet sitter! Deborah is amazing in her attention to every dog trait and instantly creates rapport with the dog. Her place is perfect for dog care with a fenced area for outdoor fun. Deborah is a blessing.”


“Julia and Peter do such a great job with Ace, our springy and excitable dog...and their dogs take him in as part of the pack. In fact, Ace wanted to go back in their house and I had to coax him into the car with treats! We know he will always be safe and well cared for and loved when we have t be out of town. Highest recommendations!”



About: I have been working in the animal care industry for 17 years starting when i was in high school. In that time I have been a vet assistant for most of my jobs. I have worked for companies like Best Friends, ASPCA, Banfield Pet Hospital, and currently work at Burlington Emergency and Veterinary Specialists. I also have experience working with larger animals other than dogs. I have worked at zoos and wild life rehabilitation centers, wolf refuges and even done some free lance whale research. I am willing to care for multiple pets if you have more than one but we will have to discuss this. I am also willing to take care of other types of pets such as birds, reptiles, and rodents. I look forward to meeting you and your pet(s). Currently a stay at home dad so I'm available most days depending on my son's needs. But most times scheduling won't be affected as he is now in daycare. I have lots of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and sizes, this includes special needs pets who require administration of daily medications.

“We were so happy to meet Tiffany and her family. The care Vera received was perfect especially considering that she is recovering from surgery and needed special attention. Tiffany's family and her pets were so nice for Vera to enjoy, and I think she misses them here at our quiet, one dog home. I have already asked to book Vera here again thanks to this experience.”


“Janessa is a great sitter! We could tell from the initial meet that our dog was in good hands. She is a caring, wonderful person and was attentive to our anxious dog's quirks and needs. She made us feel at ease while we were on vacation by providing us with regular updates. Our dog loves to walk and she got plenty of exercise with Janessa which we know helped her be calm and happy while we were away. I highly recommend Janessa. We are looking forward to booking with her again for our next trip!”


“Audrey provided us timely updates and we could see our dog was having fun on her expansive country property. She was willing to work with him, even when he was showing initial anxiety after drop off, she turned it around and made him feel comfortable and well loved. We highly recommend Audrey! It is hard to find such a caring person for your dog :) She will treat your dog like family and keep you at ease throughout the process. We gave her a 10+++ rating.”



“We definitely recommend Glenn to take care of your dog. Our dog Noah had a blast with his dog Cedar. Glenn sent us pictures and Noah had a great vacation. Glenn made it easy to take our dog out for the day so Noah could hike and join us in dog friendly Lake Placid. We will definitely rebook when we visit Lake Placid again. Thank you Glenn for being part of our family vacation to our favorite location!”


“We had not left our pets with a sitter outside of our home for many years so we needed to find someone that could watch our senior boys and allay the massive anxiety I had about leaving them for a week. I was just beside myself until I met Nicole. She was so gentle, kind and welcoming to the boys. My fears melted immediately and from her updates and photos I could see they were very well taken care of. She definitely made their care a priority which made me feel so much better leaving. We highly recommend her and feel we’ve found our go-to sitter for the future.”


About: When I was 9 my neighbor would ask me to watch her dogs every weekend while she was gone. I’ve always been an animal lover and although I’m at a place in my life where I cannot own my own pet, I miss having their company. I’m reliable, compassionate, and most importantly caring to all animals. I work fully remote, so I am able to be with your animals 24/7 if that is needed! I have a very flexible schedule as well so I am able to fit in as much time as needed. I am only able to care for pets in your home, not my own! Unfortunately I am in a pet free space:( A big reason I want to do this is to spend time with animals, not for the money as I have a full time job!

“Saveliy may both of my pups feel welcome and safe. He sent me videos and photos of them wrestling, rolling over for belly rubs, and just being their goofy themselves. I know that they felt safe with him.”
