Molly was awesome with our dog Winston. She took really good care of him while we were gone for a week. Winston loved the long walks that Molly provided for him on a daily basis. You could tell that she really is an animal lover. I would 100% recommend her to everyone.

We loved Whitney! She was so patient with our rescue dog. We were very comfortable with her in our home. She took good care of our rambunctious bossy female pitty/mix. We would definitely higher her again!

Sarah is AMAZING! She was extremely flexible with start and end times. I appreciated that she came over to meet the boys prior to the dates I needed her to watch them. She sent pictures throughout the weekend and kept me updated on how things were going. I would definitely recommend her, and will be rebooking with her in the future! Thank you, Sarah!

Jessie was fantastic rolling with our quirks of leaving our 11 week old puppy for a few hours. She was excellent on her communication and sent lots of pictures. Can’t wait to have her back again.

About: I take my dog sitting seriously, and I do it with passion. I had to move away from my own pups, and would be happy spending time with another furry friend. I am careful, attentive, observant, and happy to help! Im currently working part time, 2-6 PM Monday through Friday, so weekends are great, so are evenings! If your cat or dog is okay being left alone for 4 hours thats great! I would be purchasing the right materials and things upon my first client. Recently moved out to the area, and haven't been a cat sitter since I have been out here!

About: As a life-long pet owner, I understand the difficulties and challenges in caring for the fur-babies that you love with all your heart. Every pet has their own personality, needs, and quirks, and I take the time to get to know each one. My goal is to provide patient, loving care that helps your pet feel secure, happy, and relaxed in your absence. I’ve just started my own business, which has given me the flexibility needed to accommodate a variety of schedules, including daytime visits, evenings, and weekends. I work hard to provide the level of care needed—and often above—to give every pet in my care a happy, healthy, and safe stay. I respect established routines, keep environments clean and secure, and treat each pet with patience and care. Clear communication and trust are important to me, and I’m always happy to share updates.

About: I have taken care of and walked dogs for as long as I can remember, whether that be for family members or people local to me, and it is something I am very passionate about! I am currently a student at the University of Vermont, but my class schedule allows me to have a lot of free time during the day. I am looking to just walk dogs for the time being. I know the Burlington area very well so I am comfortable with different walking routes.

Molly stayed with our two dogs for the long weekend and they loved her! She is communicative, respectful, kind, and thoughtful. One of our dogs has leash aggression and she handled it no problem. The same dog was also taking medication when she stayed at our place which she gave to him. I would recommend Molly to anyone. Thanks Molly!

Shannon took care of Bennie at my home for 2 nights/3 days. Everything went well, she was very responsive. She took him to some nice wooded trails for walks. The house was clean and Bennie was content when I returned. I would definitely have her walk Bennie and/or house sit again.

Paul and his wife stayed overnight at our home for two days and one night to watch our Shih Tzu Monty, and it went great. We’d never met Paul in person before booking, but he was communicative and responsive from the start, which made it easy to trust him. We came home to a clean house and a happy dog. Paul sent photos of Monty on walks throughout the stay, which we really appreciated. Would definitely book again and happy to recommend him.

Beatrice has provided the best experience I have had with Rover so far! I was struggling to find someone to watch my puppy toy fox terrier who is extremely high energy. Beatrice said no problem. Communication was good while I was gone and I came home to a happy little pup and a clean house. Thank you for giving my pup a lot of love

Kristen is the best house and pet sitter we have ever had. She spent 10 days taking care of our dog and house. When we returned, the house was even cleaner than I left it, packages and mail neatly stacked, and dog happy and healthy. Kristen communicated all important issues promptly, and even went so far as to find, remove, and save a tick on our Beagle. I can not recommend her enough!
