“Daniel's been training Clea (and me) as well as walking her, he's attentive and kind and loving. She's a very sweet dog who means well and learns quickly, but she can get carried away - his presence in her life has made a big, calming difference. Thank you Daniel.”
“Ella did an excellent job with my cats. I’m so very grateful to her for her wonderful work. She seems to be a true animal lover who cared for the well-being of my cats. I would enthusiastically recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter.”
About: Hi! I'm Nicolas. I am home full-time, which allows me to spend plenty of time with the dogs and cats I care for. We live in a large two-story house in South Burlington with a big yard where dogs can run and play safely. Please note that since I have a 20-month-old son, any dog staying with us must be completely comfortable and safe around young children. As a stay-at-home dad, I am at the house full-time, making it incredibly easy to fit dedicated pet care into my daily routine. I offer specialized services tailored to your pets' needs, including both cat and dog boarding at my home, where your furry friends will enjoy constant company and plenty of attention throughout the day. I also offer dog walking and 30 to 60-minute home visits at your location. Whether it's strictly following feeding and medication schedules, managing frequent potty breaks, or taking your dog out for a great walk to break up their day, you can rest assured your companions will receive premium care while staying completely on their regular routine. In my home: Your pets will have plenty of room to comfortable and safe in our large two-story house. Since I am home full-time, I provide constant supervision and companionship throughout the day. I ensure a safe, organized environment for both visiting dogs and cats, strictly following their regular feeding, potty, litter, and medication schedules so they feel right at home. At your home: I follow your exact instructions to respect your pet's routine, whether I am dropping by for a 30 to 60-minute visit or taking your dog out for a walk. I make sure your home stays secure, doors are locked, and your pet gets their regular feeding, fresh water, and potty breaks exactly as they do when you are there.
About: Hey! Im Skye! I’m a senior at the university of Vermont studying political science and history. I’ve had pets from gerbils to horses my entire life and have cared for pets with special needs, disabilities, and aggression. I would love to spend some quality time with your pup or kitty whether it be snuggling all day or going for a hike! My number one priority is your pet’s safety and well being. —— Open to boarding smaller or low energy dogs, must be okay with cat in house. My schedule varies, but I work from home most of the time. If im watching your pup it will be a day I work from home so I can give them attention throughout the day. If watching a pet in your home, I follow the provided instructions, while ensuring to keep everything clean and tidy. If boarding in my home, your pet is welcome to the entire apartment, when supervised, and will mostly hang out in the living room or my room. Pets are allowed on couches and beds. We do have a cat in the home that will ignore the dog as long as it is not aggressive towards her.
“Ashley did a great job with our cats and they loved her! She reliably took care of them and sent lots of cute pictures and dealt with a couple unforeseen circumstances above and beyond the call of duty. 5/5 would book again!”
“Skaya and I liked Charlotte from the moment we met her! She is kind, warm, and obviously cares deeply for animals. I would highly recommend her to anybody seeking a trustworthy person to take care of their pets. I really appreciated the sweet photo of Skaya and updates I received. Thank you!”
About: My name is Amelia and I am in college studying animal sciences. I have experience with dogs walking, cat and fish care, and would love to help you and your pets out in any way I can! I’m currently a full time student, so I can pop in and out mid morning and in between classes throughout the week. I will make sure the animal gets a good chunk of my time and attention and will make sure not to rush them. It’s important the animal is safe and stimulated while I am with them. If I am dropping in to feed or take care of your pet I will ensure a clean environment and that they are enriched until a caretaker returns. If I am taking your pet on a walk I will cater to the dogs temperament and endurance. The pet’s experience (and their bathroom/food needs) is optimized.
“Anna was so great with our two kitties! She gave them a ton of play time and attention, and she was super communicative during every visit. She definitely made me feel at ease leaving them for a long weekend. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Thank you Christine for taking such amazing care of our pup while we were away on a long day trip. We felt so at ease after getting the report cards and photos! So much gratitude!!!”
“Victoria has been such a big help. We booked drop in visits and house sitting practically last minute and she was very accommodating! The most important piece is that our dogs love her :) I would absolutely recommend Victoria, I know we will be using her services in the future :)”
About: I have been working with animals for the last ten years. Started working in dog daycares and moved my way up to vet medicine where i now am a vet technician. I am patient and understanding to all pets personalities and ages. I am currently working 3 days a week on a specialty service at a veterinary hospital. My weekends are typically free and I would love to fill the time with your furry loved ones. Will be very respectful of your home and make giving your sweet boy or girl my devoted attention. Back yard fence in play is great but leash walks are also great!
“I’ve booked drop in visits with Marissa multiple times now, she is always timely, professional and communicates quickly! My cat always seems calm and is well cared for while I am gone!”
“Cara did a great job looking after our cat (drop-in)! She was attentive and kept us alerted of any issues and took extra steps to make sure he was OK during the heat wave.”
About: I love pets. Ever since I was little, playing with my pets and taking care of them gave me a sense of importance. To help do so for members of my community would be a great way to reconnect with the simple pleasures of quality pet time. I currently work full-time 4 days a week. The other three days of the week I have incredible flexibility. On the days that I do work, I can flexible in the mornings until 12, 12:30 latest. I will be unable to have pets at my own home due to landlord requests. But, I have ample experience walking dogs and ensuring they are properly supervised. I also am incredibly active and a strong individual, callable of heavy lifting and can mitigate any dragging from a leash.
About: I’ve had my own dogs all my life and have sat and walked pets professionally for around 2 years, so I am equipped with the skills necessary to keep pets safe and happy. I’ve had one-time clients or recurring clients — whatever the owner needs! I love pets and have always gotten along well when I meet a friend’s pet, hence my interest in expanding this passion. I am currently in medical school and my schedule is relatively flexible - I am able to walk your pets, drop in to make sure they’re okay, or stay with them all day! I generally have classes in the mornings and afternoons mostly off. I am available for walks or overnight stays depending on the pet parent’s request. I am happy to work with clients and figure out a schedule that works for them! I abide by all rules the owner set. I will inquire ahead of time of any special needs the pet has or certain routines from the owner. I am not there to intrude - just offer the same level of care and love as the dog would normally get! I also understand some pets may be anxious with a new person in the house, so I will do my best to ease into my position and offer a lot of comfort to the pets before trying to play with them or feed them.
About: Here’s what sets me apart— and why your dog will love coming with me! These aren’t ordinary around the block walks. Your dog will head into the woods to explore and experience nature the way they’re meant to. From fresh scents and flowing rivers to tall grass and scenic climbs, every outing is designed to fully engage their body and mind. Each hike ranges from 2-5 miles, so your dog comes home truly satisfied and pleasantly tired— not just a little restless and ready for more. Give your dog the adventure they’ve been waiting for! I am available Monday through Friday between 3pm and 6pm for walks as well as Saturday and Sundays for boarding or walks throughout the day. I have three dogs that love to play with other dogs and exploring the many different mountains here in Vermont. I grew up always having at least six dogs among many other animals so adding more dogs to the pack for the day or weekend isn’t that big a deal. I just want to be able to give someone else’s dog a fun time because all dogs deserve to run around sniffling whatever their hearts desire. Most importantly if your dog is going to board in our home, they MUST be house trained. i know it can be hard to get out during the week for working pawrents. While I don't have a fenced yard your pets will be safe. I make sure to leash any dog before opening the door. I also make sure to take any dog in my care to a safe place where they are able to get the exercise they need.if they are not recall trained dogs will be kept on leashes long enough to still run and play safely!
About: I've had dogs since I was very little. Very comfortable with anything from small and anxious to big and jumpy. Currently have 2 cats at home, a very young senior and a old kitten. I am a full time graduate student with some intermittent periods of free time and am always looking to take a study break and go hang out with some pets. Im currently a Doctorate of Physical Therapy student at UVM. So whenever I'm not in class I'm free to spend it with your furry friend. Since I have cats, I always make sure my home is pet safe and there isn't anything around that could hurt them or get them sick.

Burlington cat parents share their Rover experiences
We feel so lucky to have found Anna! Every time we go away we know our boy is not only safe and cared for, but loved and entertained! Seeing our shy boy rolling on his back for cuddles and zooming around after his toys warms our hearts and puts huge smiles on our faces! Anna is the best.
Kristy was great with my two cats. She made friends with my older cat immediately when she stopped by to get instructions. And my younger cat who usually takes quite awhile to warm up to new people came out during her very first drop-in visit with them. I could tell from the pictures she sent that he wasn't even nervous. She was very communicative and left detailed notes about her visits. I plan to book her again in the future and definitely recommend her!
Ashley has watched my cat several times now and I feel totally at ease every time! I appreciate the cute and funny photos, updates on how my cat wanted to spend their visits together, and priceless peace of mind that Ashley is looking out for not only my cat but also my home. Highly recommend!!
Victoria did a great job with my three bunnies. She was very communicative and took pictures and updates on how they were doing everyday. She followed all the care instructions I left and took special care of my oldest bunny who is 12. Thank you so much!! I'd love to rebook in the future.
I would definitely recommend Shawn. He was super responsive whenever I reached out, and I loved getting photos from each of his visits. My cat can be difficult but he’s definitely a big fan, and Shawn was very patient with him. I was grateful to know my boy was in good hands while I was gone :)
