About: I grew up on a farm so I've been surrounded by animals my entire life. I have experience with dairy operations, including milking, cleaning, and birthing goats. I also have experience caring for goats, horses, mini ponies, dogs, cats, small reptiles, birds, and guinea pigs. I have been pet sitting since I was 15 with all of the perviously mentioned animals. I also have experience in training horses as well as puppies. I also have experience working with a variety of aged animals, including seniors, so I am able to adapt to additional needs. I also have experience administering medication to a variety of different animals. I am looking for a part time position while I finish up my studies at UVM. I only have classes in the evening two nights out of the week. I can be flexible to drop by and hang out with your pet during the day, if it's better I can also hang out with your pet for most of the day if I can study with them! Also if you contact me with enough notice (~ 3 days) I will most likely be able to make time of the weekends to provide care! Typically I like to meet the pet while the owner is there to see their personality while they have the comfort of their owner there. Then I try and establish trust and connection with your critter while you are there so it won't be as scary when I return while the owner is away. I try and stick to the critter's normal routine, whether that's going for a walk, playing, or feedings at a certain time or in a certain manner to try and maintain their normal routine as much as possible.
“Leslie is very nice - it is easy to communicate with him, he is very accommodating to our rambunctious dog, and he is always on time! It is a pleasure to have him walking our dog, Archie :)”
About: Growing up, I always had dogs and cats. Personally, I have a 16 year-old cat named Muffin, who I've raised since the day she was born and a 4 year-old cat named Beans that I adopted two years ago. I also rescued a stray senior and sickly cat and provided care to her (daily medication, bathing, grooming, special food) for a year and a half until her passing 3 years ago. I have experience petsitting for friends and family, and I am comfortable walking, feeding, and playing with pets. I work partially from home and I am currently available around lunchtime and after 5 pm during the week. I am available most weekends any time of day. I live in an apartment and cannot bring any pets into my home, but I will be able to care for your pet in your home, which will provide security and comfort for your pet.
About: I've been working with animals my entire life, as I've grown up with cats and dogs and have been riding and working with horses for about 10 years. I have been dog/cat sitting here and there for neighbors, family, and friends for years, in addition to volunteering both with large and small animal organizations. When I was 16 years old, I started working at a "pet resort and spa" (a luxury pet boarding/grooming facility) in my hometown and it has been a great job for the past three years. However, I now live in Burlington and would love to continue working with animals! I have worked with animals of all kinds- big and small, shy and bold, anxious and excited. I can't wait to get to know your furry friends! I'm currently a college student. For the summer my schedule is quite flexible in terms of days and times. Check my calendar or reach out to me for more specific availability! I would love to come meet your dog or cat at your home, or in an agreed upon public meeting place, such as a park. My goal is to ensure your pet(s) is as happy and comfortable as possible, so I will take my time getting to know each individual animal, their personality, specific routines, etc.
“Kelly was great! I needed a last-minute dog walker and she was able to help me out. She was very responsive, professional, and I felt completely at ease with her. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker/pet sitter.”
“My Georgie loved Yelena immediately! She is so sweet and kind. She asked great questions about my complicated pup and really listened to my answers. She sent a few picture updates of George during her visit and reassured me that he was doing great. I would 100% book with Yelena again and recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy person to take good care of their babies.”
About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was a child. I've had dogs my entire life and have grown a great love for them! I always walk, bathe, feed, and play with my dogs. I am currently a college student without a job. I have a lot of time that I can be flexible with in order to meet clients needs. I have walked dogs for most of my life and have acquired the love for doing so. I know many techniques and how to keep dogs safe no matter the circumstance we run into while walking!
“Maria was very responsive, and timely! I appreciated that she took Bodhi a variety of paths and seemed to really be interested in what he needed most. Would definitely use her again in the future!”
“Emma is fantastic! She is really knowledgeable about dog behavior and training, professional and just generally really nice. I'm looking forward to having her continue to care for Layla.”
About: I grew up with dogs (1 lab and 2 doodles), and I miss them so much while I am away at school. I have cared for neighbors’ and friends’ dogs since I was in middle school, offering both dog-walking and overnight pet care services. I also have experience caring for salt-water aquaria. I currently work a 9-5 with flexible hours. I am available for early morning, lunchtime, and evening walks. I am also free on the weekends. My apartment is unfortunately not pet friendly, but I do offer overnight pet sitting at the dog’s home. I have experience house sitting for families with pets, and I am more than happy to provide references.
About: At home, I have two pet goats, a dozen chickens, a hyperenergetic dog, and any other neighbor's farm animals that I may need to help care for. Once you've corralled goats and horses, all other pet care begins to feel easy. I'm currently a student working part-time, but I have a very flexible academic and work schedule. I'm typically available in the morning to afternoon but can arrange later times too if needed. I can play by whatever rules make you the most comfortable. Whatever your preferred routines are, I want to make things the most comfortable and convenient for you. I don't have the means to host a pet in my own apartment, but I can walk long enough to tire out your rowdy puppy or, if you prefer it, let them out in their own backyard. If I enter your home I aspire to leave no trace.
“Annie was great! We will be so happy to have her walk or sit for Buddy anytime! She is on time, really good with our boy and totally receptive to his needs. I would highly recommend Annie!”
About: Hello! My name is Wren and I'm a college student with a summer internship in DC. I have been fostering dogs and puppies since I was 5 years old. I also have multiple years of pet-sitting experience (both dogs and cats), and I had two dogs and a cat growing up that I was partially responsible for until I graduated from high school. I am an active individual and I love to go on walks and runs. Currently I am available during the day on Fridays and at night the rest of the week. I will have more availability in May because I will not have started my next internship so I will be free every day. In June I am available before and after my 9-5 job and a longer-term pet-sitting option would be my preference. I do not currently have a place to offer for boarding, but I can assure you that I will comply with all house and Rover rules, as well as respect your pet/space and keep it clean.

“We are so happy with Casey. She’s on time, she communicates very well, and she leaves detailed descriptions of her walks with Maple! Maple loves her!!”
Virginia W.
“Whenever I have to be away from home I cross my fingers that Virginia will be available. I am always 100% confident leaving my 2 in her care. I know they'll be fed and watered, but mainly, I know she'll spend quality time with them- playing, talking, cuddling. It's the attention and affection I know they'll receive, more than anything. She has a way with animals and they can tell. And she reassures me with photo and video updates! :)”

Kyra was amazing when we were in a pinch, away from home, and needing a dig sitter the same day. An unexpected trip to UVM Medical Center with the dog in the car on a hot day was less than ideal, but Kyra answered our message immediately, took amazing care of our dog, sent photos, and pivoted with changing plans and last minute requests. What a trustworthy godsend! Highly recommended.
I can not say nought wonderful things about Samantha! Sam is a gem. The love and care Sam shows Oliver rivals my own. They match energy everytime they interact. Oliver waits by the door when he knows Sam is on the way. Sam is prompt, communicative, and no matter the weather Sam arrives with a smile. We love Sam and I highly recommend her. If you want someone to care for your furry family member than Sam is your person. We are team SAM all the way. Thank you Sam for taking such wonderful care of our sweet potato.
Julie was wonderful! She instantly connected with Honey and clearly understood her unique personality and needs. Honey felt comfortable with her from the start. If you're looking for someone reliable, intuitive, and genuinely dedicated to your dog's care and well-being, I highly recommend Julie.
