House Sitting in Craftsbury Common

“Alison is amazing and went above and beyond with how she took care of our dogs. They went on many walks, she sent us photos and videos of them having a BLAST. We will 100% be contacting her the next time we need our dogs cared for. ❤️❤️”

“Chad is fantastic! He is reliable, professional and communicated updates throughout his stay with my dog. I had peace of mind and enjoyed my trip, thank you Chad!”

Josee J.

“It is clear that Georgia loves animals. Our dog was well cared for, the house was spotless on our return, and she kept in touch throughout our trip. Would have back in a heartbeat!!”

“Our boys—our whippet Franky and our elderly cat Stieg—were in excellent hands with Anna for a 2nd time. Anna worked from home, from our home, so they had almost constant companionship. They both have idiosyncratic feeding needs, and Stieg gets a pill morning and night. None of this seems to be a challenge for Anna. And she also took great care of our home, leaving it at least as clean as we left it for her. We are very grateful for her services and care.”

“Andrew was great. His communication was perfect, and he gave us frequent updates and pictures of our pets. Everything was very well taken care of, and I will definitely use him again!”

“Lauren was great with the dogs and the cat! Gave us lots of updates of all the fun they were having! She was super communicative and gave so much love to our animals! Thank you Lauren!!”

“Ariel stayed two nights at my home with my dogs and I am so grateful to have found her. I’m an incredibly anxious dog mom and she is so compassionate and understanding of that and took such great care of my dogs and sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the day. My dogs absolutely love her! I highly recommend her. She’s reliable and communicative and I’m looking forward to having her stay with them again soon!”

About: I grew up with litters of German Shepherd puppies which sparked my lifelong love of animals. As adult, I raised and bred Labrador Retrievers. I now share my home with five cats, two Labs and six chickens. I'm also a proud grandparent to two wonderful grandchildren. Retired and living in Vermont. I'm recently retired and spending my time doing what I love most. Beling arond animals. I enjoy going on walks, playing and simply keeping pets company. If you ever need a little help with your furry friend whether it's a walk, some playtime, or just a visit while you're out. I can take them to the dog parks or to the waling paths.

“Dana was great! She was communicative and let us know when she would be leaving the animals home alone. Dana provided updates each day and pictures!”

About: I provide calm, patient care for dogs of all personalities—especially those who need a little extra time and understanding. As a dog parent to two anxious pups, I know firsthand how important it is to move at your dog’s pace, respect their space, and really tune into their body language. I specialize in working with nervous or shy dogs and focus on creating a safe, low-stress environment where your pup can feel comfortable and cared for. Whether it’s slow, quiet bonding time or gentle walks with lots of encouragement, I’ll make sure your dog feels secure and loved while you’re away. I’m all about building trust, being consistent, and treating every dog like they’re part of the family. I’d love to learn more about your pup’s routine, preferences, and how I can help make your time apart worry-free. I am currently attending a remote graduate program and have a lot of flexibility in my day to day! I am typically available whenever needed and happy to give all my attention to your fur babies! I always ensure I am being respectful and mindful of your space and your pets space. Ensuring I treat every home and pet as my own. Following your routine to ensure your pet has the best experience will allow me to create that safe space for them, happy to connect with you on your pet’s needs and how I can foster that safe space for them!

“We had a wonderful experience with Shannon! She followed our directions perfectly, making sure our dog felt comfortable and cared for. She even gave him lots of cuddles, which he loved. We found her to be reliable and trustworthy, and it was great to know our dog was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”

Karola C.

“The pups were in great hands with Brooke! Would recommend her to anyone. Responded quickly when contacted and provided updates as requested. We had lost our kennel situation due to the owner retiring and had never tried Rover before. Won’t hesitate to do so again!”

Cynthia W.

“We wish there was a 10 star ⭐️ option here! We never used Rover before and were hesitant to try it. We had a wedding to attend, but no one to watch our fur baby. We got our 3 year old shih tzu, Hermie, 10 months ago. We were nervous to leave him in an out of state, unfamiliar hotel room with a total stranger. Kim, surpassed our expectations, squashing our anxiety of leaving Hermie in our hotel room with her while keeping Hermie safe, busy, calm and happy till mommy and daddy got back. We became fast friends and felt like Kim was part of our family. It was a wonderful first experience with Rover and Kim did NOT disappoint us. We are blessed to have met such a caring, kind, responsible human being to care for our beloved Hermie.”

“Kaitlyn was fantastic! She was really good with our Bernedoodle puppy. She gave her tons of exercise and outdoor time. Izzy came home super happy and definitely tired!! Really happy we found Kaitlyn and will use her every time we are in the area.”

Sandra G.

“Agnes was fantastic - just such a nice person and our dog loved her. She stayed in our home, and I can’t event tell she was here. We’ll definitely seek Agnes out again in the future!”

Samantha S.

“Maria was an amazing dog sitter for our Maple--we were so thrilled with the results and how happy Maple seemed! This was the first time that Maple had to stay with a new person since the pandemic; since she has been spending so much time with us, she has developed quite a bit of separation anxiety. Maria was a champ and had Maple going out for lengthy walks from day 1! I could tell from pics (and she sends lots of them!) that Maple was happy with her new friend, and we will definitely be engaging Maria's services again. Highly recommended!”

About: Hello, I'm Ren and I'm a student looking to get to know the area and spend some time with your dog(s)! I have experience caring for small- to medium- sized dogs, cats, and guinea pigs. My schedule is currently pretty flexible, though I will be less available when the semester begins. I've always had two dogs while growing up and often dog sit for family friends and neighbors. I'm easy to work with, attentive to every need, and eager to care for your dog(s)!!! I'm currently a student at Sterling College so I'll be available early mornings (before 8am) and evenings (after 6:30pm). This is subject to change throughout the school year. My experience with pet care includes walking, feeding, bathing, playing, and cuddling. I'm open to learning to care for other pets as well as how to care for pets with other required assistance.

“We booked Whitney as we were traveling out of state for a wedding and the hotel did not allow dogs to be left unattended. This was the first time we’ve used a service like Rover and left our furbaby Wendy with someone who was not a family member. Whitney put us at ease and Wendy immediately took to her and her daughter. Whitney and her daughter were fantastic with our little girl Wendy! They listened to our concerns and followed our care instructions for Wendy. Whitney was so flexible and accommodating as she watched our furbaby in our hotel room as we were at family events for 2 days. She was in constant contact with us and sent pictures whenever we requested and often time she sent on her own. We plan on visiting Vermont in the future and using Whitney again. We would highly recommend Whitney if you’re in the area!”

“Steven took great care of my dog while I was away for about a week. It was a last minute trip and Steven was incredibly flexible to help me out in a pinch. He sent updates and pictures throughout the week to let me know that all was well. Thank you!”

About: I love dogs, and love to be around them! I can provide dog walking, doggie playtime, take them to the dog park for you, feed them, or just give them lots of snuggles! I have had pets all my life, and dogs for most of that. I used to own my own petsitting business, and loved every minute of it. I am very trustworthy and responsible. I specialize in small dogs, especially dachshunds, but all dogs are amazing and are welcome! I try my best to accomodate everyone! I am self employed so very flexible! I will also come care for your feline companions if needed! hope to hear from you and I can't wait to help you and your canine family! Thank you in advance for your business! Unfortunately I cannot host as my landlord doesn't allow pets (Cara is an exception). Keep in mind that during house sitting <especially 24 hr house suits> I will need to bring Cara with me. She LOVES other dogs so that is not an issue at all! I am available anytime to watch your furry companions! I work for myself so I am extremely flexible! I can't wait to meet your babies! Unfortunately, other than Cara, my landlord has a no pets policy so I cannot host. We can go for car rides though, or to the park, or a nice long walk!
