“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”


“John is more than amazing. He is so caring, loving and kind to our Pup. Milkyway is so happy when we leave him and the entire family makes pup feel at home. I knew the first time I met John and his family they were an excellent choice. They treat pup as if he is one of their very own furr babies. I highly recommend John. Don’t think twice, contact John for his services.”


“Our dog Lyra had a lovely first day with Eric. Eric sent us frequent photo updates (one of Lyra snuggling on the couch, a great sign) and took her on some walks. Lyra came home calm and content. We'll definitely work with Eric again and would recommend him.”


“Jackie is so kind and very communicative. She took care of my Chihuahua for one full day and sent pictures to show how things were going. I highly recommend her for the dog daycare! My dog was happy.”


“Hannah was fantastic and her home, neighborhood and garden were a beautiful spot for Wally to spend the day! When I picked him up at the end of the day I could see he loved Hannah and he was happy and calm. I couldn't recommend Hannah's dog sitting more - we are definitely going back!”


“Paul did an outstanding job with Maple! She loves him. I received updates, photos, and so happy we found him! I would definitely recommend him!”


About: I spent a lot of time volunteering at a rescue shelter. I started off with the basics; walking, socializing, playing and being a friend. I eventually became more involved and had a great time doing it. I helped with social media, took photos of the dogs, assisted with adoption and fundraising events, foster care and the biggest experience of all was the time I went along on a road trip to South Carolina to rescue dogs from shelters and bring them back to Vermont for adoption. For many reasons, that is an adventure I will never forget. I'm available most weekdays and some weekends. I'm flexible, so times can be discussed. Please check my availability or contact me if you have questions. Thanks! I have a fenced backyard that has plenty of space for playing and running. My home is clean, safe and comfortable; the perfect home away from home. There's a spacious finished basement that the dogs can use for playing with toys or just hanging out. My very friendly dog, Sylvia would love to play with your dog. Communication, dependability and trust are very important to me.

“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.”



“would definitely book again in the future! Molly loved it and had so much fun!!!”

“Chad has been taking care of Aspen since she was about 4 or 5 months old. He has worked with her and myself on her reactivity and meeting other dogs and strangers. I believe he saved my dog and I. I wouldn't trust anyone else with her. I followed him to Rover from the daycare he essentially started and was forced to shut down. And I will follow him when he starts his own. He is trustworthy, reliable, kind, compassionate and SO intelligent and well educated on dog behavior and body language. Aspen loves her days with Chad and she is wiped out until the next day!”


“Georgia was great! She was really responsive and Cabot came home happy and well-cared for! Georgia was also flexible on pick up time, which I appreciated!”


“Michele is a wonderful and thoughtful sitter. I have always felt very comfortable leaving my pup with her. He gets lots of time outside and joins them on walks when appropriate. I recommend her highly to anyone looking!”


“Koa comes home happy and tired”


“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.”


About: I'm someone who enjoys being around dogs and I love being able to make them happy. I have experience owning large and small dogs. I make sure to get them the exercise, play, and attention they need (and deserve)! I currently work from home and have availability during the work day to take breaks and get outside (rain or shine). I have my own dog so it is part of my routine to spend time caring for her. I live in a cold-a-sac neighborhood and have over a half acre of land. I enjoy playing fetch with dogs, walking with them, or just sitting side by side being buddies. I make sure they are fed enough and always have water in their bowls!

About: My name is Danielle and I’ve always been a huge animal lover. When my neighbors got two lab puppies in 2009 I visited them every day after school. Since I didn’t grow up with dogs I basically treated them as my own and taught them commands. This is when my dogsitting journey began at 12 years old. Both dogs had such a big impact on me which led to my passion working with animals. In fourth grade my dream job was to be a dog walker. Since then I’ve pet sat for dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, goats, rabbits, and horses for months at a time in Vermont and Hawaii. I’m a Reiki practitioner and I love offering this healing to animals I care for. I work from home which allows me to provide quality care for your pet. A couple of my favorite activities are walks and hikes. They’re even better when I have a dog by my side. I mainly offer care in my home. The only exceptions for me to sit in your home is if you have an elderly dog or many various animals. Your dog must be able to go up stairs. I ensure the pets get lots of love, snuggles, all the walks that are needed, and extra outside time if this is something they enjoy.

About: As a dog owner myself I fully understand how important they are to your family. My husband & I have been in our “pet parents” era for 5 years now, so I’m sure you can only imagine how spoiled our Georgia girl is. When you hire me, you’re getting someone who’s going to treat your dog exactly as their own. I want to see their little wiggly butts & all of their cute tricks when they are in my care. I always offer a meet & greet so I can learn about their dislikes/likes , favorite toys and scratches & all of the cute things you love about them and or maybe naughty things they do before I take care of them so I can offer a safe & familiar environment! I have 10+ years of experience with drop ins, day care & dog walking. Rover has given me the opportunity to make new furry friends & to continue being active outside during all 4 of VT seasons. I work remote Monday through Friday at my home here in St. Albans and I have the flexibility to take breaks when needed and can be present while caring for the pets. I have a huge back yard where I live and a very sweet dog named Georgia that loves to cuddle & go for daily walks. We are a very pet friendly home. Dogs will be tucked in while sleeping.

“Marissa did a wonderful job with our little Mazie. Would I recommend her? I definitely WOULD. Will I search out for her dog-sitting services in the future? I certainly WILL!”


“Kanchana Is great! She has watched my dog twice now and has taken consistently given me updates on my dogs behavior throughout the day. Strongly recommend her to everyone”


About: Hello!! I have two furry babies of my own ( a lab and husky) and they both have unlimited energy! My fiancé and I are a very active couple. We have a 2 acre fenced in yard at our home! I love watching a variety of dogs ( small to large) and both of my dogs love to play with other dogs! For the dogs I have watched, I send daily photos and updates as needed.

I make my own schedule and my fiancé works from home! He is always home to care for the needs of our dogs and yours! I always take the dogs out and for a walk in the morning and then feed them.

Christopher M.
“I can’t say enough great things about our experience with Chris! We recently went away for a week and left our dog Jak in his care, and it was hands down the best decision we made. From the moment we dropped Jak off, we knew he was in loving, capable hands. Not only did he provide a safe and clean boarding environment, but they also went above and beyond to make sure Jak felt right at home. We got regular updates and photos, which made our time away so much more relaxing. Jak got daily walks, tons of playtime, and plenty of cuddles — it was like a vacation for him too! What really stood out was how attentive and genuinely caring Chris was. By the time we picked Jak up, it was clear he had made a new best friend. If you’re looking for someone to trust with your pet — whether it’s for boarding, daycare, or walks — I highly recommend Chris. He will treat your pets like his own, and that peace of mind is priceless. Thank you for taking such amazing care of Jak. We’ll absolutely be back!”

“Danielle has house sat and dog sat for us numerous times. She is very responsible, loves our dog and takes great care of our home. She makes it so easy for us as she often sends pictures or videos of our dog and he's always having such a good time with her! It's comforting to know your pet is in good hands! I cannot recommend her enough!”


Chelsea B.
“Chelsea is my twin sister. Not only is she the best aunt to my human babies, but she is the best auntie to her fur nieces. She always makes sure that the dogs are loved just as much as the human babies. She brings them toys and snacks. She not only personally trained her rescue pup, but she also got professional help to make sure she was giving her baby the best chance at success. There’s no one better out there to trust with your fur babies than chelsea. She will make sure they are loved and cared for as if they were her own. Even if that means letting them be wrapped up underneath a blanket on the couch to feel loved and safe. Chelsea is a very active outdoor hiker who would make sure sure your pup is always on a new adventure and making memories”
