“Thank you for taking care of our kitty! Loren was very easy to communicate with and did everything we requested for the sit. We'll definitely ask her to sit again in the future!”
“Hunter is amazing; caring, capable, responsible, and flexible. We had a difficult issue with the snow storm and Hunter went out of her way to make sure our kitties were taken care of. Cannot say enough great things about Hunter as a caretaker for our fur babies.”
“My husband and I knew upon meeting Tara for the first time that she was the perfect fit with our cat, Charlie. Charlie is very shy and usually hides when people come to visit. However, this was not the case when Tara entered our home. Tara did a top-notch job taking care of Charlie during her drop in visits over a period of one month. We were so happy when she sent up pictures and updates. Tara is reliable, kind, professional, and a true animal lover. Cats can be messy with the litter, etc. But with Tara on the job, we came home to a very neat home and well-fed, content cat. We will definitely seek Tara services again. Furthermore, we highly recommend her. Thanks a million, Tara.”
“Rhys did a wonderful job taking care of our cats. He was reliable and conscientious. He handled my reluctant eater well and was communicative at all times. I highly recommend him!”
“Karina and Jared did a great job looking after my 2 cats while we were away. Jared did the drop in visits to feed, water and scoop. Karina was available for any questions I had and provided help with the Rover scheduling. They kept me up to date on the cat care and were great with communication. Thanks!”
About: I’ve taken care of my personal dogs as well as friends and family dogs for years now. I am experienced with dogs of all sizes, as well as all personalities. I am familiar with low energy and high energy breeds, and know how to cater to each of them. I also specialize in dogs that have anxiety as well as reactivity, and know how to monitor their behavior and understand them in a way that most humans and other animals do not. I currently work full time, Monday-Friday so all animals would need to be able to be home alone for around 8-9 hours during the weekdays. My current hours are 6:30am-3pm, so I make a point to be available in the morning before I leave for work, and then after I return from work. This also applies to drop-ins. I make a point to be fully available on weekends since I am away often during the weekdays, but am also home early enough during the week that I can spend the afternoon, evening, and night with your furry little ones. I will care for your pets by following the owners’ and pets’ needs, I never stray from instructions. I will ensure safety precautions are always taken, as your animals safety is my highest priority.
About: I'm available to provide the best care for all your furry (or fur-less), scaly, and or feathered friends. I understand that each pet has unique needs, from daily walks and belly rubs for dogs to creating the perfect habitat for reptiles and keeping your cat’s world enriched with toys and cuddles. I offer compassionate care tailored to your pet’s specific personality and requirements, ensuring they feel loved, safe, and happy while you're away. No matter the species, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family, with lots of attention, patience, and of course, treats! I'm currently working and going to school part-time, but feel free to reach out and I'll see what I can do to help you out! I always prefer to provide care in your home, and will treat your home, property and of course your pets with the upmost respect. In addition to caring for your pets, I am happy to bring in the mail or delivered packages, and provide other random services at your request as needed. I may be able to provide boarding care in my home with notice on a case by case basis provided your pet is house-trained and gets along well with my personal pets.
“Marissa was absolutely great! We have two cats with big personalities and she was patient in getting to know each of them. She was quick to respond, polite, and left very detailed feedback! We loved all the pictures she shared too! Marissa went above and beyond to make sure our babies were well taken care of and comfortable while we were away. We are looking forward to working with her in the future.”
“Lynsey took fantastic photos of Lynx while we were away and gave the best care to him and put gecko. We are so lucky to have such a skilled and responsible pet sitter in our area!”
About: I've taken care of variety of dogs and cats. When living in California I took care of two senior Dachshund with a series of medications and injections. I am also great with younger animals, I love to play with them and work out their energy. I’m currently working full time as a health care worker Monday through Thursday 7:30am-4:30pm and 7:30-12:00pm on Friday. I am available for walks, feeds, pop ins outside of those hours. My time is more flexible on weekends! Ask me about a day and I will do whatever I can to make it work! I will make sure all the pets needs are met. Water bowl refills, plenty of play time, feedings if needed. Overall safety for your pet is my first priority! I have had digs of my own with tons of energy. I currently have a senior cat and a kitten (two ends of the energy spectrum) I will treat every animal like my own.
About: I am 36 years old. I'm a manager at an Inn and I have a bachelors in business. I lived in Vt for 4 years and loved it. I have 2 cats and a gold fish. Both of my cats are rescues, one from vt who I found on my porch in the middle of winter and the other from a barn. I taught my cats to sit and give paw ;). I love dogs, I have been pet sitting family and friends dogs for a number of years including labs, English mastiff, and bulldogs. I volunteer at 2 local animal shelters where I give the dogs exercise or play with the cats. I love going for hikes or swimming and both are always better with a dog. I work part time but can make whatever works for you with providing care, whether it be feeding, walking or home care. Overnights can be possible I can take care of them in your home preferably but can bring them to mine on a case by case basis. Whatever is needed

Paige R.
“Paige is an animal lover and very open to dogs of all backgrounds. She has taken great care of her own dog that is a rescue and has had a rough upbringing. She has watched other dogs for family members and friends and makes sure she goes above and beyond. I feel with her experience and willingness to be patient with dogs of all backgrounds, she is trustworthy and the best to watch your dogs. She is always working to educate herself better on dogs and how to make sure they are safe and comfortable. I have never worried about leaving my animal in her care.”
Jesse R.
“I can’t say enough great things about Jesse. He’s incredibly affordable, reliable, and just all-around amazing with animals. My dog is super friendly, hyper, and has an endless amount of energy—but somehow, he keeps up with her like it’s no big deal. She always comes back happy, tired, and clearly well cared for. He has a natural way with animals and so much experience—not just with dogs, but all kinds of pets. It’s such a relief knowing she’s in good hands with someone who genuinely loves what he does. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, energetic, and kind dog walker!”
