“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. ❤️❤️”


“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!!”


“Anna was amazing. I got updates on the morning and evening with pictures of the furkids. She was amazing with my girls. Took them on long walks and gave them tons of attention. The girls are looking forward to their next stay with Anna”


About: Animals are children to me. Grew up with many dogs/cats & birds! Offer great at home visits to exercise, play & feed your pets! Strong, driven individual that can handle multiple large dogs at a time. Also have trained many puppies through my youth and adult life, so can handle the little ones too! Respectful to clients and pets alike, understanding the value and security of your home and neighborhood. Will always walk dogs until they poop and pee; will pet and play with them during walks and visits. Please do not hesitate to ask questions or request supplemental services. You will not regret picking me as your animals caretaker!! I am working part time with a flexible schedule, so boarding your dog takes priority. I wake up early each morning and retire around 9p I have many trails in the back of our property, with hills and fields to run in. Dogs are given all the love I can muster in the home and out on walks or hikes! Very safe environment for your dog


“Brooke was a great sitter for our fur baby! She and Dude bonded at their first meeting. We received pictures and an update daily while we were gone. We would definitely have Brooke stay with Dude again.”


“Ariel was amazing! Great communication, flexible to our needs and the needs of our pets, and left our place looking sparkly clean! We highly recommend booking with Ariel and will certainly use her services again in the future!”


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.

About: I've always been around animals growing up. I've cared for all different kinds of livestock, cats, dogs, and small animals like bunnies and reptiles (no snakes or spiders though yet). And I love every minute of it. I have over 10 years of professional pet caring experience. I've house/pet sat for family members before. And local people in my town. I've also worked and still work in horse boarding barns, small family owned barns, and a local large animal sanctuary. I've even volunteered at my local animal hospital multiple times. I'm always willing to bend to the clients personal request when it comes to caring for their fur babies and homes. Right now I'm still in school until June 8th 2025. I have 3 jobs. One is seasonal and 2 are year around. So my schedule has a lot going on. Luckily my jobs are pretty flexible making things like house/pet sitting doable. I'm a very patient person. So when it comes to dealing with pets and tasks I take things one step at a time. My pets are well loved and know it. I have never gotten a complaint from any past or present client. I am more then willing to communicate different needs and come up with a plan to make your pets and you getting to know me a good and relieving experience. I'm also more then happy to give regular updates and send lots of pictures.

“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.”


“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!”


“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.”

“Giuli was an absolute pleasure to work with and gave my dogs (including a 5 month old puppy) such loving care. Clear quick and easy communication.We didn’t worry for a moment about the house or dogs and were able to be fully present with my family on vacation.”


“Maria did an excellent job watching our dog. She provided updates throughout the stay, photos to ease my worry, and her communication was great. My dog is normally so stressed when we take him to stay with other people, but having Maria stay in our home with him allowed us to come home to our dog totally stress free. It was such a relief!”


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!”



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!

Andrew C.
“Andrew has done a wonderful job with my dog Tunechi. He always takes him out for long walks to the park and knows he doesn't like to play in the dog run. He always gives Tunechi treats when appropriate and sends me cute photos of him all tuckered out post-walk. He is always punctual and doesn't skimp out on time in poor weather. I cannot recommend Andrew more!”

Janice C.
“I got my 2 Labradors from Janice 9 and 10 years ago now. When the puppies were old enough, before they came home at 8wks she would let me come visit them as often as I liked. While visiting you could see what good care she took not only of the puppies, but her old 3 adult labs Shadow, Coco and Zoe (my dogs mom). They were all very well trained and behaved. She is very knowledgeable about raising and caring for dogs. As my 2 were adapting my their new home with me she was available whenever I had a question or needed advice. There are very few people I would completely trust to care for my boys, Janice is absolutely at the top of that list, I wish she still lived in the area!”
