“Jenny knew how to approach my two senior cats and had an instant rapport with them. I really appreciated her calm demeanor and how she wasn't afraid to ask questions. I had a couple of additional requests while away, and she was able to accommodate them and also ease my anxiety!”

“Riley was amazing! Our dog is old, has movement issues, and needs medication. She was so great with him! She gave wonderful updates, consistently, about our dog and cat. She sent pictures daily and was super responsive! She was absolutely great to work with, easy to communicate with, and made our vacation so relaxing because we knew our pets were taken care of so well, while we were away! Highly recommend her!”


“We appreciate Kathleen being available on the holiday so we could spend time visiting family and not have to worry about Archie :-) she was on time and sent lots of pics and videos. Thanks Kathleen! Archie looks forward to seeing you on nye.”

“Iana was fantastic! Very communicative and good with our two dogs. She spent time with them and made sure to update us each visit. She was very flexible and accommodating so we will seek her again.”

“Mamie was attentive, professional, and made us feel comfortable knowing our dogs were in good hands. She sent updates and photos promptly and was detailed in her report cards. We also have two large breeds, and she handled them with ease. I can’t recommend her enough! Our dogs loved her😊”

“Alaska was not only beyond friendly but she took amazing care of my pup! As someone with crippling anxiety she put me at a lot of ease and I’ll definitely be asking her to come back!”

About: I have experience with elderly dogs needing diaper changes, as well as younger super active and hyper pups. I have given medications, baths, special diets, and special skin regimens to dogs before. I have often been the go to care taker for friends and family pets when they are away on vacation and have honestly loved it. I just simply love animals! I make my own work schedule and typically work a more part-time schedule and so therefore I have more availability. Playing, walking, and snuggling are things that we always have time for in this house! We have a fenced in yard with two well behaved fur babies of our own to keep your four legged family member company. It should be noted that we cannot host any dogs that are high jumpers as our fence is in place and secure, but not super tall. Our dogs are friendly and love to play! We have a plethora of toys and dogs beds throughout our home, as well as water accessible in two different places. We pick up the dog poop at least twice a week, but will commit to doing it more frequently with more dogs. We walk and play with our dogs daily and so your pup will simply just get to join in on our already very dog friendly lifestyle!
About: Pet care is not just my passion, it’s my full time purpose. Pricing cover deductions from Rover to ensure my full rate, tips are appreciated and not required. Your pets are my entire routine, whatever they need, it is my pleasure to care for them. Thank you for trusting me with your family. When your pets are with me in my home or I’m staying at yours, the routine is built around comfort, safety, and fun. That means sticking to their feeding schedules, giving them the right balance of exercise and play, and making time for cuddles and rest. I treat your pets with the same care and respect I give my own.
“Richard did an incredible job. Showed up for daily visits with our pets and sent photos and report cards on every visit. Would definitely use again and recommend his services.”

“Sydney is an amazing petsitter!! Accomdated a very last minute request, was super easy to coordinate with, and sent us pictures every day. Would highly recommend Sydney to anyone! ☺️”

About: I grew up with pets (both cats and dogs) and have always loved being around and caring for animals. I worked as an animal care associate at the Humane Society of Chittenden County in Burlington, VT, where I learned safe handling techniques, gained medical knowledge, and cared for a wide variety of breeds and behavioral cases. I have extensive experience with cats, dogs, and smallies of all shapes and sizes and would love to help care for yours. I have a very flexible schedule which leaves me plenty of time to walk and play with fur babies. I am available for most of every day and don't mind commuting to care for an animal. I live in a lovely neighborhood for walking and am also able to drive dogs to nearby parks and hiking trails to play and exercise. I have a cat at home who dislikes other animals so I would only be able to provide care at a client's home.
“Rachael was wonderful! She took excellent care of our 13 year old Australian Shepherd and sent us lots of pictures with updates while we were gone. Will definitely rebook with her in the future!”

“Lauren is absolutely awesome. She is great with the dogs, follows instructions, and has great communication. She is also flexible which was a huge bonus. She sends pictures after every visit and lets you know how everything went. I have full trust in her and would definitely recommend her.”

We're so grateful for Taylor taking care of our 3 babies while we took a short trip away for my birthday. They were so well cared for, we got our photo updates each day, and she even took in our mail and an unexpected package that was delivered while we were gone! This was our first time using Rover, and definitely not our last, especially with Taylor! Thanks so much for caring for our 3 kitties!!

Hannah is very conscientious and reliable! She is also very knowledgeable about cats and their behavior and quirks. Our cat Zora was hiding from her, and Hannah reassured us that she was fine and it was normal behavior for some cats. She showed us that she had eaten etc and also moved the food and water closer to where we thought she was and turned on TV for reassurance. I felt comfortable knowing that Hannah was there. If I need a pet sitter in the future, I will book Hannah!!

Mamie was attentive, professional, and made us feel comfortable knowing our dogs were in good hands. She sent updates and photos promptly and was detailed in her report cards. We also have two large breeds, and she handled them with ease. I can’t recommend her enough! Our dogs loved her😊

Richard was great. He met our girls- and handled my “wild one” very well. I truly appreciate his passion and care he provided. And love the fact that he understands that our pets are family! Will definitely call on Rick again. It great to find someone you trust. Best, Layla and Mila’s Mom

Lauren is AMAZING! She makes sure that Ryder is loved and cared for while I am away, picks up on his weird quirks of wanting to take stuff with him while he’s on a walk, and calms his nerves with cars. I know when she comes that he is in good hands, and he has a wonderful time with her. I wish I could give her more stars, as she is the best!! Thank you for all that you do!

April was absolutely terrific. A++++. She watched my senior kitty, Sadie, plus my other kitty, Zoe, while I was on vacation. Unfortunately, while I was gone, Sadie took a turn downhill. April gladly agreed to take her to the vet for me & had me on speaker during the vet visit. April continued to visit Zoe daily until my return. I totally recommend April. She has been kind & loving.
