“Faith has won over my elderly dog who has serious separation anxiety. She has even helped my dog become more confident, and Faith’s knowledge about dog behavior really inspires my confidence!”

“Sarah was fantastic! She communicated with me daily and sent check in photos. This was my first time leaving my newer kittens for more than an overnight so I was feeling very anxious, but her attentiveness allowed me to relax and enjoy my vacation. The cats absolutely loved her!”

About: Hi there! My name is Natalia and I live in South Burlington my little 12 year old fur baby (pug/daschund mix). I can understand and relate to the stress and importance of finding a trustworthy care giver. I would love to be able to give the kind of care to your little one like I would expect for my own. South Burlington and Williston area would work the best for me. I would love to meet your family and spend time with your little fur baby! :) I would be available Monday through Friday after 5pm (and before 8:30am depending on situation) and any time Saturday and Sunday. Willing to be flexible! 😁 My sweet Harley boy is an older pup who has incontinence and regularly wears diapers, so we understand that special pets sometimes have special needs!

“We wrote to Mark about our pup Leo and he was immediately open to come meet us first to make sure it was a good fit and was a great communicator, answering all of our questions and us answering his! He even came a bit early when our pup was stressed being alone. I highly recommend him!”

“Allison took excellent care of our 3 month old puppy! She even did a meet and greet with us before we had her take care of her. She was very communicative and took care of everything we needed!”

Amanda S.

“Samantha did an amazing job! She took great care of our two kitties while we were away for the weekend, and followed all of the directions perfectly!”

Elizabeth R.

“Abigail was great with my pups and always arrived on time. She made sure my dogs got a bathroom break and treats, as well as making sure they were comfortable before leaving. Highly recommend her for any pet care needs!”

About: I’ve had a family dog my entire life, so caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life. I also have experience watching and walking dogs for other people, including strangers’ pets, and I’m comfortable with different personalities and energy levels. I’m active, reliable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, whether that’s going on walks, playing, or just making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’m available throughout the week and have a pretty flexible schedule. While I have an internship on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, I still have plenty of time for pet care, walks, and check ins. I’m happy to work with your schedule and make sure your pets are well cared for! I’ve been around animals and loved them my whole life, so being around pets comes naturally to me. I’m patient and understand that not every animal is super outgoing or likes new people right away. I’ve had experience with pets that can be more stand offish or take time to warm up, and I’m good at being patient and letting them get comfortable at their own pace. I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away, and I’ll treat them like they’re my own.

“Rebecca was great with my two dogs while I was away . She was very quick with pictures and updates after every visit . I will be booking with her again in the future. Great Job !”

About: Hello! I'm Selena, a student at Skidmore college, doing research over the summer. Back home, I'm the owner of one dog as well as two cats, and I regularly dog sit for my friends and family members. My love of animals is well known and I'm always their go-to for pet sitting, as they know I'm always happy to do it. My current Bernedoodle has been with me since she was just a puppy, so I'm very aware of how much care and attention puppies need. I've also cared for dogs on the older side, and I'm open to dogs of all ages and sizes! Caring for pets is very important to me, so much so that when I do not have an animal to care for (i.e. when I'm alone at school), I become very sad. Growing up, taking care of animals every day was very important to me. I am unfortunately a college student living in on-campus housing, so I am unable to care for pets in my own space. However, I make sure pets are happy in my client's home and makes sure to keep the space maintained well!

“Very caring for my sick dog - great communication - can’t thank enough”

About: I’ve always had 2+ dogs since I was born and have cared for them ever since, they’re my absolute world and I’d be honored to help care for your pups too Im a full time student however out of school hours I am fully committed to playing with and loving on dogs as I normally would with my own:) In my opinion parenting a dog is just as important as a child and I’d never tell someone how to do that; so however you’d like me to care for your pets I am more than willing and able to do so!

“Ella, has dropped in to let Leroy out a handful of times for me and has done an excellent job with taking him out and taking care of him while I’m away! Leroy couldn’t be happier!”

About: I’ve been a proud pet owner for over 13 years and can’t imagine life without animals in my home. I currently have an 11-year-old dog and two kids, so I’m no stranger to juggling love, care, and responsibility. From playful puppies to senior dogs, I’ve cared for pets at all stages of life and understand the patience, attention, and affection each stage requires. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and treat every dog as if they were part of my own family. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or just making sure they’re happy and comfortable, I love being able to give pets the care they deserve. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. Between my own dog and kids, I’m used to keeping a consistent schedule with walks, feeding, playtime, and downtime. I make sure pets get the right balance of exercise, attention, and comfort throughout the day. Whether it’s adding an extra walk, stopping in for playtime, or providing overnight care, I can easily fit pet care into my week because animals are already such an important part of my life. When pets stay in my home for boarding, they’re welcomed as part of the family. I provide a safe, cozy environment with plenty of playtime, snuggles, and exercise to make them feel right at home. For drop-in visits, I follow each pet’s routine closely — feeding, refreshing water, giving potty breaks, playtime, and any special care they need. During walks, I make sure pets get both exercise and fun while keeping their safety my top priority. No matter the service, I treat every pet like my own, giving them the love, attention, and consistency they deserve.

About: Common courtesy and communication is paramount. **Willing to travel up to an hour away. Just because Rover says you are outside my service area it does not always mean you are. I have clients an hour North and South of me. **Necessary update as of 6/21/23** I will require current credit card info be on file at your vet or provided for me in your pet write up ONLY in case of emergency. In the event of an emergency and I could not get a hold of the human, puppies have no pockets to hold a card, the vet required me to pay. I have raised 3 separate RESCUE Rottweilers to be exceptional ambassadors of their breed. I currently do not have any pets since my big boy passed away in 2016. I hope to again one day have my own dogs. Until then I will love YOUR pet. **I DO NOT board animals at my home. Only repeat clients would MAYBE be possible for a very short amount of time.** Clients pets have included many breeds, species for days, weeks. Many Golden Retrievers, Doodles, mixes aka Heinz57s, Old English Sheep dog, lots of kitties, a chameleon, turtles, a bearded dragon, a small bird, fish, Rottweilers, a very challenging but lovable English Bulldog and Huskies one of which was very reactive. Oh and a LOT of house plants! PLEASE NOTE: I am deathly allergic to horses which I am very sad about. Any type of animal requiring LARGE amounts of hay would also be a problem i.e, goats, cows, alpacas I am sorry to say. Small rodent animals requiring hay for food or bedding has not been a big deal. My personnel dogs were very public dogs, parks, events etc. With the ever present fact in mind that as good as my animal was it is still an animal. Never purposely putting them in a situation to be loose (unless at home or a fenced park) or get into anything that could harm them. Read quite a few books/manuals by military working dog trainers in hopes of training a service oriented Rottie. Came very close to passing the Good Citizen certification but my dogs never liked the “stay” part when I had to walk away with my back turned. They just had to be next to me. So close. PLEASE NOTE: I have my preferences set to NOT to show any photos of YOUR pet publicly. I would ask permission first to share. Photos only NEVER infomation of course. My schedule allows me to be available to be in YOUR HOME, with your pets all day/night, unless noted ahead of time and of course trips to the store. I have many types of animals that insist on sleeping in bed just like they do when their people are home which in fine by me. Just take some Benadryl and snuggle on in. I try to stick closely to how the home runs normally so the pets do not have any surprises that can make them anxious. Sleep, food, walks, play time etc. I supervise dogs in their own yard fenced or not. I am very organized and like an outlined idea of their schedule to be written down for me to follow as closely as YOU would.

“Kayleigh was a wonderful pet sitter! We ended up needing someone last minute and she still made time to do a meet and greet the day before we left. She gave us thorough updates and took wonderful care of our pets. She even got our skittish cat to come out for snacks. I would 100% book with her again.”

“Melissa is the sweetest! She made Lily (my pup) feel so comfortable and did a great job walking her and following all of her care steps. I would 10/10 recommend!!!!”
