Dog Sitters in Winooski, VT

How many ways can you say "wonderful?" Joelle was an absolute DREAM of a house/petsitter for our place. It's a big property, with a large vegetable garden that needed watering, garden beds requiring the same, and a dozen chickens watched over by a very persnickity English Shepherd who expected lots of attention and twice-daily walks around the property. The house is big too, and a real challenge to have clean all at once. She managed everything with exquisite excellence. The house was gleaming when we returned, everything clean and in its place. Not only had everything outdoors been watered as needed, but she went so far as to WEED a patch of squash plants that I had no expectation of seeing tended. The chickens were fat and happy, and she went the extra mile to CLEAN OUT THE COOP before I returned, even though I had told her I'd do it when I got back. She also tended to an ailing chicken with her own medicinal supplies. Joelle went above and beyond in every category, but most importantly, with our sensitive, loving, exercise-craving pup. Joelle figured out places locally to take our heavily-furred girl into various streams for cooling-off jaunts, and indulged her with super-long walks that our girl really loved. We could tell from the almost daily pictures that Joelle sent us how deeply relaxed and happy Tessa was -- hugged and cuddled and doted on while we were away. We've never seen her look happier. None of this mentions what a bright and cheerful spirit Joelle is -- we spent a day with her before the sit began, and a day after to ease our re-entry, and it was a complete delight to be around her, share our home with her, and get to know her. She was a dream to communicate with throughout our connection with her. If Joelle applies to sit for you, say YES. You could not have a better experience with another sitter.

Michael and Faye were absolutely fantastic guests and took wonderful care of Whiskey and our home. They kindly arrived the evening prior to our departure and spent time with Whiskey that evening and the next morning to ensure they were well-versed on feeding, walking, etc. They provided regular updates and took Whiskey on several adventures during their stay. We would happily have them back in the future.

Cindy and Mario were great! Very communicative and we came home to a tidy home and happy, healthy dogs. They also sent us pictures and videos of the pups having a good time while we were gone! Thank you!!

Stacy did a great job. Was so happy to meet her before I left. Came home later then expected (flying is always a challenge) and it was great to have clean sheets on my bed. I Highly recommend Stacey and her husband.

Andreanne was a perfect house and pet sitter! She was so loving and attentive with my dog, when I saw them together after my trip, Cricket would run to her lap for snuggles and kisses which gave me such confidence. My home was well taken care of and perfectly cleaned and maintained, I could not ask for more!

Amara was terrific. She communicated well and left the house in great condition. Will ask her back if she is available when we vacation.

We were so pleased again with Amy’s services for watching Benji and our house over a 3 week period. We got updates, photos and videos regularly and we knew Benji was in good hands, and that he has come to accept Amy as family. We came home to a spotless home and our plants were well cared for and thriving. We look forward to using Amy for future sitting opportunities.

Great communicator. Was very flexible and able to accommodate a last minute schedule change despite having flown across the country. Left my place clean, and, most importantly, I came home to a very happy, well-cared for dog. I’d happily host Lenore again and could not recommend enough to others.

Teddy was a great choice for our pet sitting needs. Teddy was easy to coordinate with, gave us frequent updates, super considerate and clean, and our cats loved him. Our cats were very happy with Teddy, and we felt good about having Teddy in our home. We would welcome him back again.

Nessia is the sweetest and patient sitter you can wish for. She arrived a day early so we could show her the routine with the 10 cats we have. It was a very stressful day because our oldest cat Lewis' health went bad all of a sudden and on that day we had put Lewis to sleep. Nessia stayed calm and eventhow we were sad we decided to take our vacation. We felt she would do a good job with the pets. Thank you Nessia for taking care of our pets, house and garden. Greetings Olaf, Jel, Billy, Mickey, Pebbles, Blossom, Bikkel, Doortje, Choco, Daisy, Didi, Pleuntje and Teuntje.

Sarah was a great sitter! I highly recommend her.

Natalie was an amazing house and pet sitter! She was super easy going and friendly and took great care of our cat, Mars. She played with him and pet him and was very loving and caring. She also sent us daily updates. When she left she washed and dried all sheets and towels and remade her bed and left the house in pristine condition. But the icing on the cake is that after all of that, she was so incredibly sweet as to leave us a bottle of fig vinegar as a gift after we recommended she visit one our favorite oil and vinegar shops. We highly recommend Natalie and would ask her back in a heartbeat!
