“Ella is consistently wonderful with my boys. I would trust her implicitly with any of my babies. She’s been taking care of them on my frequent trips for almost a year and I can’t imagine anyone being better!”
“Jamie, once again, was a wonderful pet sitter for our cat. Adorable pictures!! She spent time cuddling our very needy cat and made sure everything else was taken care of as well. We returned home to a happy feline and a clean apartment. Thanks again, Jamie!”
About: I grew up living with and taking care of my family’s cats my entire life, and dogs since 2016. Since childhood, I’ve enjoyed pet sitting for friends, family members, and neighbors whenever I’ve had the opportunity to do so. I have some experience with training dogs, and lots of experience with showing love to animals of all kinds! I’m currently a student and, when I’m not in classes, I’m typically at home with my cat. I have lots of time and attention to dedicate to any pets in my home, including my own cat and any visitors who board with us! I’m happy to adjust my schedule to accommodate for any specific needs as well. I recognize that every animal is unique and has their own wants and needs, and it’s important to me to ensure that your pet feels as comfortable and as happy as they can while you’re away! For boarding: The entrance to my apartment has an airlock, so I make sure to only have one door open at a time to prevent any attempted escapes, and I have a very social cat who will make sure your cat doesn’t feel lonely! For pet check-ins: I’m happy to follow any instructions you have to care for your pet and your home while you’re away. If there are any particular precautions you want me to take, or if there’s anything else I can help out with (e.g. bringing in mail, putting out trash cans, etc.) while you’re away, just ask!
“Courtney was so kind and patient taking care of our shy cat while we were out of town. Our cat was even comfortable enough to come out and start asking for attention by her third visit! Courtney takes great photos and writes very nice cards for each drop in. I would recommend Courtney especially for cats that take some time to open up to new people 😊”
“Left our 2 kitties in Brooke's care while we were on an international trip and we couldn't have been happier! The text updates were the favorite parts of our day! She followed our cat-care directions and was very responsible. We never had to worry whether she was going to show up or not, which is a big relief when so far away from home. We'd definitely use her services again!”
“Christine was absolutely wonderful with my shy guy Eddie (cat), he warmed up to her quickly and felt comfortable approaching for scratches. She kept me updated on how he was doing with food/water/litterbox, which I greatly appreciated.”
“Emma was so attentive and communicative while dropping in on our cat while we were out of town. She followed all the instructions and kept us updated with pictures and descriptions of the drop ins. I would absolutely recommend her for your pet sitting needs!”
“So thankful I found Lianna! She goes above and beyond for drop in visits with my pup a couple times each week - not just making sure she gets dinner water and potty breaks, but taking time to reinforce good habits and work on some training with her. It’s so nice knowing she is in caring and thoughtful care. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a pet sitter that is responsible, punctual and genuinely cares!”
“Kristy did a great job taking care of my cat over the holidays! She showed up promptly each morning and stayed in touch the entire time. I would definitely hire her again and/or recommend her to anyone else!”
“Having Laura stay with our two kitties while we were away was a blessing. We knew they were being loved and cared for well. We will be asking for her again. It doesn’t get any better.”
“Alma took fantastic care of my 2 cats. Both require an inhaler for asthma and she was very receptive to learning the ropes on their daily care. My cats were instantly comfortable with her! I look forward to booking with Alma again!”
About: I have been around animals my entire life and have a gentle, calm energy that helps animals feel safe. I am comfortable with animals of all sizes, including cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters and guinea pigs, and more. I would love to be your pet's newest friend! I'm currently in between jobs, so I am very flexible and have lots of time to spend with your pets. I currently do not have any restrictions on weekends or any particular weekday. I am beyond happy to stop in and spend time with your pets as you see fit, whether it is playing with your dog or cat, feeding them, or giving them some attention and love. I am also available for dog walking and longer-term housesitting overnight if that is a care need you need filled. I am very grateful to be trusted with your loved ones and will be sure to treat them like they are my own!
About: I have taken care of my dogs, my neighbors pets, and now co workers and clients by word of mouth for longer than 15 years! Experience with medication administration, bathing, feeding, and dogs of all ages and sizes. I have a flexible work schedule, so I am able to work around your and your pet's scheduling needs morning and night! I work Monday - Friday 8:30am-5pm. My schedule works best for pets who can be alone for 4-8 hours at a time, but I can do mid day check ins as needed too during the week days due to the flexibility in my role. On weekends I am typically available :) I care for your pet while in your home by replicating the schedule you have with them to the best of my ability so that they are as comfortable as possible!
“Sarah was amazing!! She provided wonderful care for my 13-year-old dog, visiting four times a day to walk her, manage her picky eating, and administer daily medication. All while giving her lots of love and snuggles:) Sarah’s proactive updates, photos, and FaceTimes gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was clear from the care she showed that my girl was in excellent hands. I highly recommend Sarah’s services to anyone looking for a caring, communicative, and reliable sitter! And I will definitely be rebooking with her in the future!”
About: As a registered nurse and former animal foster, I am well qualified to care for your pup! Open to dog walking, dog sitting, or check ins! I love meeting new pups, and well take and send pictures of your fur baby if/when you’re away! I work part time and will be able to walk or exercise your dog in a part time schedule! I am available mornings, afternoons, and some early evenings. I can easily crate if needed. I leash dogs at all times when out in public or not in a fenced area. I maintain safe boundaries for excitable dogs.

Essex Junction cat parents share their Rover experiences
We are so thankful to have found Mallory to care for our two, 8 month old cats! We've had a number of health issues with both of them since adoption which has required us to be close to home and forgo any overnight trips out of town including over the Holidays. We decided to take a chance with finding someone to care for them during a 3 day trip over the kids Feb vacation and chose Mallory based on her experience caring for sick kitties. She was so kind and thorough in learning what their needs were at our meet & greet that we were immediately assured that we were in good hands. During our trip she communicated with us at each visit regarding their feedings, digestive issues, and overall well being. She was patient with their needs and also spent extra time playing & cuddling with them which really put the kitties at ease. Upon returning it felt like we had only been out for the afternoon and it was obvious that the kitties had grown attached to her in the short time we were away. We feel like we've hit the jackpot in finding Mallory and will continue to utilize her gentle expertise not just for trips away but for wellness checks as well. We can't thank her enough and feel lucky that we now have someone to provide care above and beyond a neighbor popping in. Thank you Mallory!
