Pet Sitting in Boquet

About: I’ve taken care of neighbors dogs since I was in elementary school and picking up poo since I could walk. I had a stint of being crazy about guinea pigs but family allergies didn’t allow me to ever own my own or bring them home. I grew up wanting a cat but family allergies once again prevented. Neighbors and friends had a large variety of pets so I’ve watched ball python’s, Guinea pigs, cats, fish, turtles, dogs, and birds. I have three dogs and a cat of my own, so while I can not board dogs, I take online classes, so my schedule is pretty flexible. My dogs are crate trained but one is 12 and she is still scared of being locked in a kennel for long periods of time so she is allowed to roam when no one is home. She also thinks the cat is her baby so as long as she can’t get into his litter box they are golden.

“This is my second time using Nicole, and I can’t say enough good things about her taking care of my dog. She is so reliable, and I can tell my dog had the best time. I highly recommend her for pet care!”

About: I have pet sit dogs and cats many times for my family. Pets were a part of my family growing up, mostly dogs and also sometimes cats. Also at one point an aquarium of fish. Recently prior to joining Rover I have also been taking two of my mother’s dogs for walks fairly regularly when visiting and taking care of them when it was just myself at the house. Currently I do not have any pets of my own because they are not allowed in the rental lease. I also know of some of the natural area trails and parks in the nearby area that would be good to take dogs for a walk at. My current schedule for pet care can be fit to a wide range of times most days. Other current work activities are mainly involving the start of a small farm type business and volunteer work. I make sure that safety is always a priority and taken into account, one of the main areas of focus being to keep any doors monitored and closed so that a pet does not go outside by accident. Also keeping awareness of any food or other objects in a client's home that a pet could get to by accident.

About: I’ve taken care of pets since childhood, specifically 3 dogs that were very much a part of the family. I’ve house and pet sat for multiple family members and friends including overnights with dogs and drop ins for cats. My friends all have pets (cats and dogs) and I’m no stranger to how different pets can be in different environments. I’ve been with dogs that are leash only and outdoor. I’m a homebody, so outside of work hours, I often will be hanging around in the evening. I’m available overnight stays Saturday - Monday. Walks and drop-ins anytime Mondays and Tuesdays 2-6:30 pm. Wednesday - Fridays I’m available for walks and drop-ins 6-7:30pm. In a client’s home, I make sure to pay close attention to a pet’s routine, how things are done and what makes them most comfortable. Really making sure things are smoothly done and calm.

“Ben was such a big help spending time with Daisy for two weeks. He is responsive, kind, and will form a bond with your pup in no time. We look forwarding to hiring Ben again!”

About: Everyone around me knows how much I love pets. I have helped dog sitting my boss’s dog, and as a first timer, I know I did great! I’m working a full time job, I’m ready for anything after working hours and weekends. For occasional home visits, I can make some exceptions depending on my schedule. I myself have a cat, and I haven’t been able to assess how she would react with other pets so I’m holding off on bringing other pets at my place for now. Otherwise, for the clients, I make sure I observe all safety measures and that I’m giving them all the love.

“Emma was amazing, she wrote a great report on how the day went and met my dogs needs. Would definitely recommend her.”

“Whitney is professional and friendly. Her reports each day include a check in on the cats' health and behavior. Our cats were well fed and happy when we got home after both holidays.”

About: I am caring, reliable, and experienced with animals. I treat every pet like family, ensuring love, safety, and comfort at all times. I understand how hard it can be to trust a stranger with your fur babies and I will do everything I can to help you feel comfortable and develop a trusting relationship with me. I am currently working part time and love to prioritize time with animals. I will do everything I can to make a request work! I am very flexible. I understand the importance of leashing dogs and only letting them off in safe and enclosed environments. Cats will remain indoors under my care and I am very careful when it comes to opening external doors. I am experienced with escape artists!

About: I have had dogs my whole life growing up. All different breeds and attitudes. I’ve worked with trainers and done lots of dog sitting in my life. I love all dogs and most animals. Please let me walk, sit, or hangout with your dog I will treat them like my own. My schedule is very flexible. I work from home and my part time job allows me to make my own schedule/hours. Watching your adorable pup would be my main priority! I would love to care for your pup if that is sitting, a playdate or walk. I am sadly long distance from my pitbull pup while I am at school studying at UVM and wish I was allowed to have pets in my home but my landlords don’t allow it, thus I am committed to giving yours all the attention and care it needs!

“Thank you so much for going above and beyond for a drop-in visit. I’m sure the dogs all enjoyed some extra time outside and on a walk!”

“Kristy did a great job taking care of our cat. He is high energy and I really appreciated that she took the time to play with him and give him some mental stimulation. She communicated regularly and was always quick to respond if I had questions. Would definitely recommend her!”

About: My name is Casey, I'm a student majoring in creative writing, and I'm looking to expand my house sitting portfolio. I have been a dog walker and house sitter for three clients/families in 2025 so far and love popping by for walks every two hours with your pup. Size, barking, and puppy-ness are non-issues! I have extreme patience and good shoulders. My grandma always told me to leave the house you're visiting neater than when you got there, so I have an eye for cleanliness and I don't want you to feel like someone has been living in your home when you come back. I.E. I will ask you if I can vacuum. I'm starting school in the fall at Vermont State University in Johnson, so I am free to book any time this summer, unless I have another doggie booked that day. I'm a list maker so I like to write down your instructions when we have a formal introduction. Food, walks, potty time, play time, training, and housekeeping will all be done to your standard.

“Janet was amazing! I loved the messages and pictures every time she dropped in and she did a very good job with our dog who is nervous around new people. I definitely recommend her!”

About: I have been taking care of dogs/cats for about 3 years off and on. I just recently lost my furry bestfriend and had him for 5+ years, I love being around animals and learning their ways. I am currently work an overnight job 12am-8am, if you pup can be left alone during the night I can be there during the day. My work days are Friday-Monday. I love building a connection with the animal and start a trust bond between the animal and I. I have learned that not every animal is friendly and needs trust first.

About: I’ve had pets since I was 2 years old. As soon as I was able, I started having a role in their caregiving. This included walking, feeding, bathing, giving medication, & loving them endlessly! In college, I also volunteered at a rescue shelter where I spent time walking & playing with the dogs, cleaning the kennels, as well as giving baths, treats, & loves. I currently work 20-25 hours a week all from home. I have multiple breaks throughout the day (every 50 minutes at the least) where I’m able to tend to any of the animal’s needs. I typically work Monday-Thursday 8am-11am & 2pm-6pm (with a ten minute break at the end of each hour). At my house, I have a fully fenced in backyard where your doggie can run & play, go to the bathroom, or just hangout. When the weather permits, I keep the back door open so they can come in/out as they please. Otherwise, I let them out regularly/as needed. If I’m in your home, I’m happy to follow any routine/schedule you typically use with your pet!

About: I love animals and i love spending time with them. I have two older dogs of my own that require a lot of care which I have experience with! I regularly donate to local animal shelters. I also owned a horse which is extra experience!! I’m free whenever!!! I’m always down to come help someone in need when it comes to their pets. I have a very flexible schedule on weekends and semi flexible on weekdays. I have a dog with one eye so she requires you to be a little extra careful so we don’t use a fence for her we just take her out on the leash!! I feed in mornings and nights and take out throughout day!

“We are grateful that we can go away and know that Mad Max is well taken care of by Angie. Angie has excellent communication, is responsible, and affectionate and reliable with Mad Max. Highly recommend!”

About: I grew up on a small hobby farm with goats, chickens, horses, dogs and cats. When I was younger I helped train 2 Border Collie/Australian Sheppard mix puppies. I have a good sense of what animals need and am very patient and loving with all animals. I have a infant daughter who will be accompanying me with most my drop in visits. She will be in a backpack while I take care of your furry friend. I am available most mornings, nights and weekends. I love being outside and love being around animals. I am active, friendly, and responsible. I can't wait to take care of your pet and give it love and attention. Looking forward to meeting you and your pet! I am flexible! I have little ones (2 young daughters) but they will be able to come with me on occasion and they are also pet lover themselves. I have a fenced in yard if needed and love going on long walks and hikes. We would get lots of play time in and happy to bring my dog along for companion if wanted.

“Kenzie did a great job taking care of our dog, Ellie and cat, Jack. She spent time with them and made sure they were fed and let outside.”
