“Josh was absolutely brilliant. Extremely professional, responsible and reliable. Great communicator with humans and animals alike (lots of fun photos while we were away). He looked after our two cats for 4 days and we couldn't have been happier. When we returned home our cats were calm, well-fed and happy - food dishes were washed and litter box area was tidy. Josh will be my first choice from now on when we have to leave our cats next time.”
“I highly recommend Courtney! Smooth communication after the initial request. We both wanted to meet in person, which I appreciated. Courtney was timely, very friendly and immediately bonded with both doggos. Excellent communication during the visits. I would not hesitate to ask Courtney to take care of my pups again!”

“Christine is very sweet and kind. She was very gentle with my 15 year old girl and accommodating to her needs. She is very prompt with scheduled times almost to the minute. I trust Christine fully and am confident in the care she gives to my precious girl!”

“I’m so lucky to have found Ella! She is kind and has a gentle way that put me and my kitty at ease. She worked her magic on my scaredy cat and was able to get her to snuggle and ask for chin scritches. I’m impressed! Ella kept me updated and sent pictures too.”

About: I have done lots of dog and cat sitting for longer periods of time, puppy training, dog walking and loving my own two adorable furbabies! I am a University student who has classes during the week with usual open afternoons and evenings (with some sporadic hours during the day for walks!), along with completely open weekends. I will learn their routine and follow any instructions the owner has given. Dogs are creatures of habit and doing everything as close to normal as possible will keep them comfy and stress free!
“We were in a pinch, needed a new dog walker as we just adopted our dog and I contacted 3 other people before Lacy. The last person canceled on me, but Lacy was able to help us at the last minute, and came a the day before to meet us. Our black lab mutt Aurora loved her. I’m happy to find someone who can help us out on occasion.”
“We are so thankful to have found Mallory to care for our two, 8 month old cats! We've had a number of health issues with both of them since adoption which has required us to be close to home and forgo any overnight trips out of town including over the Holidays. We decided to take a chance with finding someone to care for them during a 3 day trip over the kids Feb vacation and chose Mallory based on her experience caring for sick kitties. She was so kind and thorough in learning what their needs were at our meet & greet that we were immediately assured that we were in good hands. During our trip she communicated with us at each visit regarding their feedings, digestive issues, and overall well being. She was patient with their needs and also spent extra time playing & cuddling with them which really put the kitties at ease. Upon returning it felt like we had only been out for the afternoon and it was obvious that the kitties had grown attached to her in the short time we were away. We feel like we've hit the jackpot in finding Mallory and will continue to utilize her gentle expertise not just for trips away but for wellness checks as well. We can't thank her enough and feel lucky that we now have someone to provide care above and beyond a neighbor popping in. Thank you Mallory!”

“We were so lucky to find Mary on Rover. She was amazing. She definitely put our minds at ease while we were away, not having to worry about our Cat. She checked in every day that she was there and asked questions if she had any. We will definitely use Mary next time we go away! A+++ pet sitter!”

“Alexandra took great care of our homestead the week we were gone. She watched our two working maremma sheepdogs, 14 goats, 20 chickens, and two indoor housecats. She took exceptional care of everyone and sent us regular updates and pictures while visiting. Highly recommend!”

“So thankful I found Lianna! She goes above and beyond for drop in visits with my pup a couple times each week - not just making sure she gets dinner water and potty breaks, but taking time to reinforce good habits and work on some training with her. It’s so nice knowing she is in caring and thoughtful care. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a pet sitter that is responsible, punctual and genuinely cares!”


About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals and years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. My whole life I’ve owned dogs, ranging from small to large breeds. I’m attentive, reliable, and committed to making pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding routines, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet like they’re my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your dog is in loving and capable hands. I’m currently working a full-time job, which consists of evenings five days a week. My availability is anytime before 2:30pm, giving me time in the morning and early afternoon to care for your pups! I pride myself on dependability by having a reliable vehicle to get to and from client’s home. I follow instructions from client’s in which how to best care for their pets to ensure trust and safety.
“Hannah was fantastic with my cat Winston! I reached out for booking fairly last minute, and she responded quickly and was very accommodating. She came over before my travel to meet us, and was very friendly to both me and Winston. While I was gone, she kept me posted with texts, pictures, and videos. That was awesome just to know Winston was being cared for and in good hands - and he looked so happy in all of the pictures and videos! I will definitely hire Hannah again, and highly recommend her for others!”

About: I’ve been a go to pet sitter for many coworkers, friends and more! I grew up taking care of my family’s border collie mix (and 2 cats!), and after college have taken care of quite a few different pups! I enjoy taking care of all different kinds of dogs from very active to very chill. I’m reliable and care deeply about every pets well-being. I'm currently a graduate student at UVM with a variable schedule but typically in class this semester Monday and Wednesday 8-4 and Tuesday 10-5. I’m happy to work mornings/overnights during the school week and often available for weekends. I’m flexible and happy to chat to fit your needs! I am very attentive to each owner/pet’s individual needs and routines. I am happy to send pictures and keep you updated, and am always looking to make your pet feel comfortable + safe.
About: Started Dog sitting/House sitting 6 years ago for family and friends. Haven’t slowed down since, now I am putting my services out to everyone. Having worked at dog daycare I have formidable animal care skills. I own my own hockey coaching business so I know how to manage time and be quite flexible. As well as being efficient and productive when given tasks or requests! I am a sports equipment manager. So my schedule in our off season is a lot better. More of a 9-5 but with immense flexibility on time depending on the day I try to have eyes on the pet 24/7 as much as possible when able, carefully listening and watching their language to know what I need to do or if they need any help.
About: I've taken care of all types of dogs and cats my whole life. I grew up with a lab/husky mix and a pomeranian. My 1st personal dog was a pit bull who was a rescue. I had her for 14 1/2 years! I made her in to a therapy dog and my service dog! After her I adopted another rescued pit bull who I have now and she is 3. I grew up with a himalayan cat that lived to 20 yeats old! I've had 3 previous rescue cats and a ragdoll. All lived in to their teens! I now have one rescue cat and 2 hairless kitties. Over the years of encountering medical issues with my own dog and cats I have become skilled at giving medication and recognizing signs of a medical issue! I professionally groomed dogs for 20 years but had to give it up do to the heavy physical demands it puts on your body. I continue to groom cats. I work part-time as a cat groomer in my home. This gives a wide range of availability to take care of your beloved pets! 💜 I am only available to do drop in care. Due to my medical disabilities I can't walk dogs on leash. If you have a yard I can let them outside to go potty or on a tie up, feed them, give medications if needed, make sure they have fresh water, scoop litter boxes and give them lots of affection!
