1. Donald F.
“Don is an amazing dog sitter! Amazing place For your dogs to stay and he’s super communicative! Nice guy who really enjoys having dogs at his house. Will use again for sure! Thank you!”
2. Diane L.
“C’était la première fois que nous laissions notre chiot avec une gardienne. Diane nous a rassuré dès le début et nous envoyait des messages, photos et vidéos de notre bébé tout le long du séjour. Diane a vraiment été super et a bien su gérer notre grand danois de 10 mois. Service exceptionnel, nous avons pu nous reposer quelques jours le coeur tranquille. Elle a beaucoup d’expérience avec les chiens et nous a donné de bons conseils :) C’est certain que nous ramènerons notre chien chez Diane dans le futur. Il était clairement a l’aise comme s’il était chez lui!”
3. Maria C.
“Maria is an amazing sitter. I'm so glad she is close by. My dog Aidan is 14 and I didn't want to leave him at a traditional boarding kennel. Maria provided daily updates with pics which put me at ease while I was away, I could tell Aidan had a great time with her and Lalo. Plenty of play time and outdoor excursions.”
4. Barbara & Darryll E.
“Thank you Barbara and Darryll for being such great companions for Nyima while we were gone. It was so helpful to know she was loved and taken care of - and that she got to play outside with you every day!”
5. Faye & Guy R.
“Faye did an amazing job with our two anxious boys. She made them feel comfortable and made sure they got all the snuggles and outside time during our ski weekend. She sent adorable photos and was very communicative. We will be contacting Faye again when we visit next!”
6. Sarah K.
“Sarah was absolutely the best dog sitter! She watched my pup for the holiday weekend while I was traveling, and I enjoyed my vacation knowing my pup was in good hands having his own doggy-vacation with Sarah and her dog Simba. Simba is her adorable friendly pup who is very good with other dogs. Sarah took our pups on multiple hikes and adventures. She is an excellent communicator, professional, and caring, and made everything seamless for me. Thank you Sarah! Highly recommend her!”
7. Michele W.
“Michele was amazing. She and her husband treated Grayson like their own - even better than we do, actually! Grayson had a nice, gentle dog to play with, they took him for play and walks every day, and it was clear they gave him plenty of personal attention. Grayson is a very easy dog, but doesn't adjust easily when we or our son (his main owner) are not at home. But he was so happy with Michele and her husband that he didn't want to leave when we picked him up. Michele's communication was very clear and totally reliable. No changes, adjustments, etc. Thank you!”
8. Kim H.
“Kim was great. Met up in advance for a meet and greet. Lots of photos and play time for the dog when she was with Kim. Would recommend her.”
9. Julia P.
About: Hello everyone! I have cared for many pets in the past with my most recent being my new puppy moose! He is an almost 9-month-old mini Aussie. With this, I’ve gained a ton of knowledge about training along with the dreaded potty training. Moose is potty trained and was fully potty trained at 5-months-old. I would love to be able to train other puppies/ dogs and have playmates for moose! I am sure your fur baby will be in the best care possible! I work part time which is usually not more than 2-4 hours a day! This leaves plenty of time for me to walk, train, and play with your pups! All pups will need to be in my care for boarding or daycare before 11 a.m. and picked up before 6 p.m. This schedule can be adjusted as I have a very flexible work schedule! I have a very large yard, along with a very playful pup to keep your pup busy! All dogs in my care will be created if I am not home to ensure they are safe. With this, all dogs will never be crated for more than 2 hours at a time. At your home, I will follow any rules you wish to ensure your pup's safety.
10. Rebecca M.
About: Having been a pet owner for all my life, I am familiar with all sizes and temperaments of dog and cat breeds. I also have experience caring for bunnies, birds and livestock. I’m recently retired so I’ll have plenty of time to spend with your pets. My house is available if you need boarding or I can come to you. When your dog is in my care they will not be off-leash while outdoors unless you have a safe space for them, such as a fenced-in yard. They will get pets and cuddles, treats and exercise. I will follow your written instructions for their care and require your cell number as well as access to your vet.
11. Lisa C.
“Lisa and Daisy were the best friends to leave our dog, Hazel with. Lisa was very willing to deal with Hazel's daily medications as well as her quirky personality. Lisa sent lots of photos of their adventures (walks and playtime) as well as downtime snuggles. Hazel was sad to leave. We will definitely be using Lisa and Daisy for sleepovers in the future 😁.”
12. Andrea P.
“First time using Rover and Andrea was awesome. She was super responsive, punctual, loving and caring to our dogs (ages 5mth, 2 & 3 yrs). We couldn’t have had a better experience and would definitely use Andrea’s services again and again!”
13. Julia M.
“Julia was an excellent match for our two dogs for overnights. Large running and playing area and she took them for lots of walks. They obviously felt comfortable with her right away. Julia is an experienced dog professional and exudes the confidence and technique theater goes along with that. We will definitely call upon her again for dog care.”
14. Whitney H.
“Whitney has helped me out a couple of times since I’ve moved to Vermont! She is extremely accommodating and easy to communicate with. My 2 yr old feisty pug stayed with her and her family for 3 nights while I was out of town. And it was very reassuring knowing she was in such good hands! I recommend Whitney 200%!”
15. Brittany T.
“Brittany was incredible with our fur babies! She updated us frequently with pictures and videos. She kept in constant contact. Drop off and pick up were both extremely easy and convenient. Anytime going forward, I’ll be using her services!”
16. Maurice & Penny P.

About: I’m a dog owner myself. I have been around many dogs for the past 6 years. I’m caring and I adapt to your dog needs. I’m currently a student, mostly at home. I’m hiking daily and Jack’s always come along on the mountain, we can bring your dog too and have dog’s date. I have a fenced backyard and I have a second crate if it’s needed for your dog. My home is a very dog friendly place.
18. Alaysha & Alexander G.
“Alaysha was so great to work with. She setup a meet and greet so both humans and dogs could meet in person before hand. During our dogs stay she was super attentive to his needs and sent great updates and photos. Both she and Alexander took my pup on tons of walks and hikes, making sure he had ample exercise. It was nice knowing he had a friend to hang with - their dog Zinnia. I would highly recommend Alaysha and Alexander.”
19. Katie V.
“Johnny and Katie were absolutely fabulous with our two dogs! They truly loved having our two and sent updates and pictures twice a day. We would defintely have them watch our pups again!”
20. Denise O.
About: I knew from an early age I wanted to work with animals. I started horseback riding lessons when I was ten and went on to working off my lessons by caring for the lesson horses. This led me to manage a boarding barn and earn my riding instructor license. When I moved to VT I worked at an animal shelter for dogs and cats. This inspired me to go back to college for a degree in Veterinary Technology. I worked as a Certified Vet Tech for 12 yrs. Now I would like to focus on working from home and helping pets be comfortable and safe when their people are away. I'm currently working part-time so I have plenty of time for walks and visits. I'm available on the weekends for boarding and a couple of days during the week. I have a fenced in yard and two dogs to keep your family member company. We have lots of land and trails to walk on. I have a large crate available if needed.
