House Sitting in Vergennes

Elizabeth stayed with my dog Rocky while I was on a fishing trip and did a phenomenal job. She sent updates and verified with me that I would be making it home on the last day of my vacation. I came home to a very happy dog that I know got his exercise everyday I was gone. I highly recommend her for caring for any of your animals.

Kathleen is incredible! We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her. We had long-standing plans to be out of town for just 24 hrs and then 2 wks before, our house & pup-sitter told us she forgot she’d double-booked and couldn’t do it. We checked River immediately and found Kathy who lives a short distance away. Thankfully she was available and we met a few days later to show her the house and Mac’s normal procedures. We were impressed with her interaction with our little guy; he warmed up to her immediately and she listened to his schedule and quirks, asking useful questions. The next week, we confirmed the day before we left and Kathy arrived at the agreed-on time. She sent a picture of a very happy boy the next morning and was waiting when we got home. She’d already washed the linens and re-made the bed; everything was tidy (perhaps more so than when we left), and she told us how everything had gone. It was ideal; we certainly hope Kathy will return to ensure all’s well in our house again the next time we need to be away!

Always great having Meghan look after our socially anxious dog. She is great with handling emergency situations, calmly and patiently. We have a peace of mind whenever we have Meghan watch our dog and house.

Matt does a great job every time he housesits in our home. We come back to calm cats and happy chickens. By the sounds of it, I think one of our cats in particular has been scheming how to make him stay longer, and will probably attempt to hide in his bag the next time around. :)

Janet has been terrific in caring for our rambunctious year old puppy. Wonderful in balancing fun, rest, and discipline. I would hire again in a newyork minute!

Laura is extremely reliable and patient. She’s a pleasure to work with.

Alyson was great. She had no problem with my dogs, one of which can be difficult, and kept me updated with emails. It was a relief to have someone who could handle both of them.

Another amazing stay with Kayleigh! She is so good at keeping us up to date with amazing videos and photos. Also left the house spotless.

Shannon took care of Bennie at my home for 2 nights/3 days. Everything went well, she was very responsive. She took him to some nice wooded trails for walks. The house was clean and Bennie was content when I returned. I would definitely have her walk Bennie and/or house sit again.

Laura was amazing with our hound dog. The dog loved her! I could tell when we got back after a week away that the dog was happy, well-exercised and not anxious at all. Laura was so communicative, professional and friendly throughout the whole stay. It was such a relief to know the dog was in good hands. We’d rebook with her again no question!!!

Beatrice was great with our 80lb love bug (Belgian Shepherd / Lab mix). He's a big pup who needs a good amount of play, and she took care of him for 3.5 days, last minute, over the Thanksgiving holiday. We felt comfortable leaving Trooper and our home in her company!

Karen was absolutely wonderful with my two cats. She stayed in my house with them for over a week during Christmas and New Years, was a great communicator, kept me updated with photos, and I felt very reassured leaving my pets with someone so responsible. Upon my return everything was tidy, the cats were well fed with extra food and water laid out, and litter boxes cleaned. It was a great experience and so wonderful having her take care of them while I was away so I could relax and enjoy my vacation worry free.
