4. Gillian G.
“I contacted Gillian excited that there was a Rover resource close by to our new home. Gillian is great at communication, and we set up a meet and greet. It was clear that Gillian loves animals and commits to providing them extra love and attention while their owners are away! Gillian sent great updates and Princesa my dog so enjoyed Gillian. Gillian left our home immaculate and washed the sheets and made the bed before she ended her stay. I already booked Gillian for a future date, and I look forward to using her as a resource when I travel. I am so grateful to have Gillian caring for my home and Princesa while I am away so that I don’t need to worry about Princesa getting extra love and cuddles in my absence! Dr. Brian J. Rachmaciej”

“Mark is fantastic! We used him as a sitter for our pups over a holiday weekend and not only did they love him, but we did too. Mark's love for dogs is clear so it made trusting him with our fluffy kids much easier. We definitely plan on using Mark again in the future. Thank you sir!”

About: 1.Introduction 2.Description of home 3. Brief overview of experience 4. Policies Hi, I'm Mary! 14 years ago, My pup Lee and I started the business of walking city streets, running, swimming, hiking, boarding friends, and house sitting; all in the name of dog! Since his passing, my twin four year olds and I are looking forward to making new pupper friends. We live in a beautiful home on an organic farm. This year marks the 14th year and third state in which I've tended to puppies, dogs and senior puppers. Since moving to Vermont 8 years ago, my home has been referred to as "farm camp." This is because: pups who are able to enjoy the farm experience off leash! While I enjoy tending to the greater dog population in its entirety, senior dogs, ones who take medications, those living with physical and developmental ailments and pups nearing end of life are my specialty. While the latest DSM may not have nature deficit disorder printed on its pages, I know it effects not only people but more importantly, dogs! I value and understand that exercise specifically in the wilderness provides a focused energy released followed by contentment. Starting in Providence, R.I., Lee and I took off walking city dogs. Over time, I curated two hiking packs of dogs. All off leash, good recall and, worked together navigating trails with minimal tiffs. Between my city walkers and packs, I began boarding. While I had my regulars, I wanted to offer support in other ways. Middle of the night emergency visits, families dealing with unforeseen events and parents who needed a break even though, their pup was nearing end of life. I've waited with dogs to board planes and have been at the airport to pick them up. Arranging wedding arrivals/departures and transport to/from vets. On several occasions, I've had the honor of being there for a pup's end of life. Since this is a new space for your pup, it's important that we stick to your in home structure as much as possible. This allows them to feel more comfortable and stress free. This means I will ask for a list of usual commands, eating times, toys, blankets and beds. If your pup has any quirks, I like to know! The more information, the better! When scheduling pick up and drop off times: if you're going to be late please kindly send a text update. I am extremely flexible with times! Not communicating information is a big issue and can lead to scheduling conflicts. For every 45 minutes that you're late and lack communication you will be charged an additional $10. My rate for overnight stays are based on a 24 hour period. If your drop off to pick up time goes over the 24 hour period, I charge a prorated amount to match the time difference. If your drop off to pick up time is less then 24 hours, it is a flat rate of $40. Thanks for reading and I look forward to speaking with you. I recently sold one of my businesses to focus on an endeavor I'm more passionate about, free Lance writing. I'm also enrolled in school first time. I only take senior, free range puppers. While your dog will NEVER be out of my sight, I only allow free rangers. If you have any concerns about your dogs recall, we are not the right family for you.
11. Jacquelyn R.
“Jacquelyn was absolutely amazing with our 1.5 year old lab, Ruthie! It was our first time leaving her with someone new and it was so amazing to work with someone so responsive, assuring, trustworthy, and responsible. Ruthie loved her! We will absolutely be using Jacquelyn again and highly recommend!”
12. Hayley R.
“Hayley was incredibly kind and communicative throughout the time she spent at our home. We immediately felt at ease leaving our senior dogs in her care for a week, and would definitely recommend her as a pup and house sitter.”
13. Laura B.
“Laura is a wonderful person and dog sitter. She took care of my two little dogs like they were her own. She is very thoughtful and caring. She ensured that all their needs were taken care of and followed the directions I left perfectly. She sent pictures and kept in touch with me about them while I was gone. She stayed in my house for an extended time and when I returned, she had left the house in perfect condition...clean and tidy. It was wonderful coming home and seeing how calm and happy the dogs were. Highly recommended!!!”
14. Amelia P.
“Excellent Puptaker! My elder dog was one of her main clients for 2 years and they both developed inseparable bonds! 10/10 and would recommend to anyone!”
15. Nathanial B.
“It is so wonderful to be able to trust someone like Nate with your fur babies and home. Nate stayed for 4 nights and four days to give round-the-clock cat care to my two cats. One was recovering from surgery and he took meticulous care of her, giving her medicine and love while I was away. He sent frequent pictures and was very tender and sweet with them. I highly recommend him and will be hiring him again ASAP.”
16. Sawyer K.
“Good communication, prompt reply and excellent outcome for our dog. We will definitely use Sawyer again.”
17. Makenna C.
About: I have had dogs all my life and have taken care of my own since I am old enough now. I watch dogs and cats for my neighbors and grandparents. I like spending time outdoors with my dogs and walking them and throwing the ball. I have cat sit before and was really easy and fun to me! My schedule is kind of wonky right now as I am in college, but I am free on weekends and some weekdays whenever you might need me! My dog takes meds right now for seizures so I am experienced at giving dogs medicine. Very responsible animal lover I have always had animals in my life. I am good about having the house clean when there’s a fluffy shedding dog in it.
18. Bambi D.
“Bambi was so easy to work with. The pups and kitten were in such amazing spirits when we returned, and the house was even cleaner than we left it! She was very responsive, and even took a trip to the house before the stay to meet the gang, and get to know the place. Highly recommend.”
19. Jordan R.
“I highly recommend Jordan! He provided excellent care for our furry friend, ensuring they were happy, well-fed, and received plenty of attention. His energy and love for animals makes him the perfect choice for anyone in need of a trustworthy pet sitter.”
20. Karlee W.
“I consider Karlee an integral part of my dog-care team. Having someone I trust in my home and caring for my cherished dog Montana is what I call peace of mind. Karlee's managerial skills make scheduling and organizing dog care easy with clear communication, responsiveness and commitment. When Karlee is caring for my pup I know she is with a responsible adult AND a big hearted animal lover.”
