“Rosan was extremely amazing with my puppy Maple. He updated me regularly and his whole family was helping to take care of my puppy. He was able to help out with different times than were booked and helped me feel at ease with a difficult situation. Maple went on walks and had a friendly dog to show her around. Afterwards she was tuckered out and excited to see me! Thank you Rosan”
“My first experience with Rover with John was unbelievably perfect. John sent pictures and videos, gave exercise to my puppy for two days of daycare, and both days Honey came back exhausted and happy! John’s family helped to keep an eye on Honey too, while the pups were a perfect match for her. I HIGHLY recommend john to anyone who needs help watching their dog!”
“We absolutely love Eric! We've taken our pup, a 1-year-old German Shepherd, to him a few times and have it scheduled for her to be there once a week every week. She absolutely loves it, going for walks and playing with one or two other dogs all day while we're at work. We've always picked up a happy, tuckered, fulfilled dog at the end of the day, so what more can you ask for? Eric is also incredibly responsible and perceptive. He watches his dogs very carefully and will do anything to make sure everyone has the safest and most fun day possible. He takes the care and comfort of the dogs very seriously which gives us a lot of peace of mind while we are at work. We're truly so thrilled to have found Eric and can't wait to hear what amazing day our pup had every week! We cannot recommend Eric enough.”
“Max my pug had the best day ever! Christina updated me regularly during his stay. I could see he was very well taken care of and comfortable with her dogs and the house. She even talked to me about checking his hearing which confirmed what i had been recognizing myself. Max says next time he is in need of a dog sitter Christina is his choice:)”
“Louis & Haley put Archie at ease right away with their calm, welcoming manner. It was his first visit and I left him for 3.5 hours. He was calm and happy when I picked him up. I know he would be happy to go back and hang with them again.”
“Danielle was wonderful. She accommodated our repeatedly changing schedule and was excellent to deal with. Danielle’s manor is calm and peaceful. Both dogs took extremely well to her. Danielle sent photos and videos. I would definitely recommend Danielle and hire her again.”
“Christina was wonderful. She was so kind and considerate and thoughtful. She welcomed my very large boxer into her home, and took great care of him. She really went above and beyond and sent me pictures and updates to let me know how he was doing. I highly recommend her!”
“Kate was wonderful with our dog Cricket. She took him on short notice, brought him on a hike and sent us cute pictures. Best of all is her majestic dog Cedar, who immediately made friends with our pup. Taking Cricket to Kate’s place felt like the best type of summer camp in gorgeous Vermont woods. We will absolutely be booking again soon. Cannot recommend Kate and Cedar enough!”
“Brian and his wife Ruchi were amazing with my dog for her first round of daycare with them. My dog is not the easiest due to anxiety from her background. They were patient and caring - they let my dog be herself and get comfortable in a new space with new people. I really appreciated the attention and thoughtful questions so that all parties could have a positive experience. I would recommend Brian and Ruchi for anyone looking for care for their family.”
“Anabel was great! We booked her last minute and she was able to accommodate our needs. Malu felt very comfortable and Anabel sent many pictures! I'll definitely reach out to her again next time we're in Burlington!”
“Alma is caring, loving and attentive. She provided a safe space for our Sadie. We will not hesitate to book with Alma when visiting Burlington again. I highly recommend Alma.”
“Zoraya took great care of Aila! Aila came home well exercised and tired from the day. Zoraya kept me updated on how Aila was doing and had quick response time. I will definitely be rebooking daycare!”
About: My name is Ruby Labate, I am 22 years old and live in the Burlington area. Growing up we have always had several animals. Wether it be small animals, cats and dogs, birds you name it. I am animal person through and through. We have 5 cats of our own. I also have 2 crazy pugs who have bounds of energy. I also had the gift of getting a mouse and having her have 9 babies unexpectedly so that has been adventure. I have also gotten to raise several batches of baby chicks and we now have a total of 6 chickens as well. We have quite the mini farm. Ive watched several dogs and cats since I was little. And have raised both puppies and kittens. I am currently unemployed and have an open schedule .So I have time to provide full time pet care in you're home and walks for you're pet. I care for pets in my home by walking my two crazy pugs who are 12 and 7 and have plenty of energy. I also have 5 cats who always keep me on my toes.
About: I have taken care of pets for 12+ years, I will look after your pup as if it’s my own, I can provide long hikes, socialization, and basic training. My dog loves play mates and I have a very open schedule with lots of availability and flexibility. Pet care is a priority in my daily routine, involving feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddles. I allocate time each day to ensure their well-being and happiness. I recently just graduated with my MSW and have a completely open schedule As a pet sitter, whether in my own home or at a client's, I prioritize the well-being and comfort of the pets under my care. This includes providing regular meals, ensuring access to clean water, administering medications if necessary, engaging in playtime and exercise, and maintaining a safe and clean environment. Additionally, I offer companionship and affection to keep the pets happy and content while their owners are away.
“Hannah was so great with my puppy Tucker! She provided frequent updates w/pics, has the sweetest dog who got to play with him & now he is happily sound asleep after such a great day!”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was really young and have always had a love for animals; especially dogs. My neighbors and friends always had me house/dog sit when they went on vacation. My favorite thing to do is take the dogs to trails to run or walk with them. I'm currently a SAHM to my 5 month old son and three dogs looking for some extra money. I am available all week to walk dogs, check-in on them, board them, or stay at your house to care for them. I have three dogs that love to play with other dogs and exploring that many different mountains here in Vermont. I grew up always having at least six dogs among many other animals so adding an another dog or two to the pack for the day or weekend isn’t that big a deal. I just want to be able to give someone else’s dog a fun time because all dogs deserve to run around sniffling whatever their hearts desire. While I don't have a fenced yard your pets will be safe. I make sure to leash any dog before opening the door. I also make sure to take any dog in my care to a safe place where they are able to get the exercise they need.
“Bre was absolutely wonderful. Her communication with this nervous Dog-Mom was super reassuring. She even sent me pictures so I could see how well he was doing. If we ever make it back to Burlington, I will definitely call-on Bre again!!”
