“Kate is the BEST! Idefix loved every second of hanging out and playing in the yard! I’m so glad she is flexible to come by for regular visits and playtime at our house! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Thank you, Kate!”


“Jade was great! She watched our dog while we were staying at the Woodstock Inn. We went out for dinner and didn't want him to bark and disturb other guests. She arrived on time, took him for a walk, and was flexible with staying a bit longer when I dinner ran later than expected. I would highly recommend Jade.”


“Kailie was awesome! We have two cats, one super friendly and one shy around new people. On the second day the shy one came out and interacted with Kailie. We have never had a pet sitter get her to come out of hiding. The pictures Kailie provided showed us that both cats were being very well taken care of. We will definitely use Kailie again.”


“Regan was wonderful with my baby. We did not have a meet and greet (because I did not ask for one) and she lived up to her testimonies. She followed my directions perfectly (which were extensive because I am a neurotic first time puppy mom). Blueberry loved having a visitor at a new place (I was staying at an inn) and I felt reassured leaving her for a bit on her 1st birthday. I recommend her and will definitely hire her again if I am ever back in this state. 🫐”


About: I may not have dogs of my own, but I’ve been the go-to sitter for my sister’s and in-laws’ pups over the years. I’ve cared for my sister’s diabetic dog, following medication and feeding routines closely, and looked after my in-laws’ dogs while they were away on vacation—making sure they were walked, loved, and well cared for. I’m calm, reliable, and treat every dog like family. Whether your pup needs playtime, belly rubs, or a little extra medical attention, I’m here to help! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I currently work four days a week and am available in the afternoons and evenings after work. I’m also available all day on weekends. I love spending my free time with animals—whether it’s walking, feeding, playing, or just keeping them company. I’m reliable, flexible, and happy to provide consistent, loving care during the times I’m available. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow any instructions closely—whether it’s feeding times, walks, medications, or playtime—and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I give them plenty of attention, keep their space clean, and send updates so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. My goal is to treat your home with respect and your pet like family

“Took great care of my 2 cats. We were in the middle of a move and she made sure the cats had all the food and toys that they wanted at their disposal the whole time.”



“Melina was wonderful : ) Very responsible and caring.”


About: My adult daughter brought home a pup 4 years ago and I have been forever changed. I now get the unconditional love thing. I want to be around animals more than I do people!!! SO I am relatively new at it but very enthusiastic and want to help the owners. For the summer, I wanted a little more freedom in my life so I am choosing to try pet care for three days a week, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Currently, I am not available for weekends - although there might be an occasional weekend I might be available. I am happy to care for pets in your home and will adhere to all your guidelines! I would also love to care for your dog in my home, although it is rather small.

About: I've been happily caring for animals, big and small, since childhood. I've always been relied on for long-term dog sitting while neighbors were out of town. Friends of mine with exotic pets, or pets with special needs, also rely on me to take care of their animals while they are busy. Similarly, I have work experience at a doggy daycare and a puppy school for about half of a year each. Both of these businesses practiced positive reinforcement and gentle training strategies. My family's two sweet dogs taught me the value of ensuring that pets are clean, healthy, and fulfilled. It makes such a huge difference in everyone's lives! My schedule is very open currently. I am flexible for the majority of the week, but Sundays are my day off. I also have class Monday evenings, but it is remote, so it does not necessarily interfere with house sitting. When first meeting dogs, I work patiently and generously with them to ensure they are comfortable with my presence. Throughout my visit, I use positive reinforcement strategies to ensure dogs stay comfortable and happy with their environment while I am present.

“Sadie did a great job with our pup. She was kind and very responsive to us and our pup. Thank you for everything!”


“Nicole was so great, she has been one of the best people watching our animals from this app! Above and beyond, giving us updates and sending pictures of them. I could have not asked for a better experience and leaving my animals in such great hands!”


“Julia is amazing!! We’re always so calm and comfortable knowing that Julia is watching our fur kids - it’s such a relief to find a sitter we trust and can rely on ?”


“Tim took great care of our dog Monty while we were away. We were so grateful to know he was in good hands!”


About: Hi! My name is Jillian, and I love caring for dogs! I have enjoyed meeting lots of family’s and pets through using Rover the last couple of years. Prior to using Rover, I had also been a dog/cat sitter from multiple families in my neighborhood since I was 12. I have done daily dog walking, drop ins, as well as over nights for weeks at a time. I was also a volunteer at the Rutland County Humane Society for 2 years. I have cared for dogs of all ages and sizes and have a genuine love for them all. I am currently doing clinical work for graduate school through December, working 8-4pm Monday - Friday. I can provide pet care around that schedule . I am very reliable and trustworthy. I love this opportunity through Rover. Any and all instructions you leave for me will be followed with the utmost care to keep your pet safe and happy!

About: With experience as a kennel attendant, I have worked with hundreds of different dogs, and am comfortable walking the smallest toy breeds to giant breeds like mastiffs or Great Danes. I have worked with a variety of different personalities and am capable of caring for terminally ill, disabled, or special needs pets! I am currently a college student and mostly spend my time studying if not hanging out with my own pets. I’m available for drop-in visits Monday morning-afternoon, all day Tuesday, Wednesdays and Thursdays after 3, and Fridays until 2 at this time. I am also available Saturdays and Sundays after 4! I care for everyone’s pets as if they’re my own - following their owner’s schedule as closely as possible to ensure their comfort and keep them stress-free! I also like to send owners updates with photos to ease any anxiety about being away from your baby!

About: I have over 15 years of pet sitting experience including but not limited to, feeding, daily exercise, oral medication administration, foster dog, and senior dog experience. I'm currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to play with your pup! I am available most weekends for all your furry friends needs. I typically request a meet and greet so that I can see your pups routine first hand and ensure that we are a great match :)

About: I have about 10 years of hands-on dog experience and a solid understanding of dog body language, behaviour, and psychology. I am also currently working on gaining my first dog training certification (expected July 2025). My training specialty has landed on service dogs, but I still have experience with basic obedience, tricks, and behaviour modification. While I do work a regular job, I dedicate the rest of my time to helping you and your dog(s) in whatever way you need. Be it check-ins, house sitting, or walks! No matter what, I prioritise your pup’s comfort and safety. I pay close attention to body language and behaviour changes to make sure they stay safe, happy, and stress-free. Any instructions are followed closely to ensure your pup’s routine is kept consistent, medications are given on time, and any preferences are respected. For walks and drop-ins I focus on creating a fun, enriching experience while still prioritising safety. For house sitting, I treat your home with care and respect. I stick to your dog’s regular routine as close as possible and make sure that their needs are met. I’m also able to take your pup to veterinary and grooming appointments if needed. We can even go for a hike or to the beach with your permission! But please note I do NOT take dogs to dog parks.
