“This is our second time having our dog stay with Joseph and Corbin and the first time for the kitty. They came home happy and healthy. It’s great to have a trustworthy and reliable sitter—we’ll definitely use them again! 💛”
“Cara was an excellent dogsitter. She communicated well, sent great photos, and made sure my older dog Cosmo was comfortable. He loved being able to sit on the couch and the bed :) We would definitely have Cosmo return to Cara's again in the future.”
“Michelle was terrific! Ellie stayed with her for Thanksgiving weekend and came home happy and tired! She was well-loved and Michelle kept us updated with pics and videos… and was super responsive and proactive before and during the entire experience. Thank you Michelle!”
“Christina and Jason were great with my girls. I received pictures of them daily along with descriptions of their daily activities. They kept my girls busy and happy. I would highly recommend them.”
About: Hi my name is Sean. I recently graduated from RIT with a BFA in illustration. I love all animals and currently have a lot of flexibility to care for your pets while I am working from home. I grew up with two labradoodles and I have also cared for friends' animals while they have been away. One of my dogs has Addison's disease, so I am familiar with giving medication to pets. Spending time with animals brings me joy and does not seem like work - I enjoy playing with your animals, going on walks and I give a great belly rub! I am extremely responsible and will love your animals like my own...you might also find some sketches of your pet when you return home. I am an artist that is currently working from home in Quechee. I am extremely flexible and am available during the week and on weekends. I make my own hours so can work around your schedule. I live with my parents and two friendly labradoodles ages 8 and 12. I could board a dog in my home if he/she gets along well with other dogs and is house-trained. I prefer to care for your animals in your own home: I can do drop-in visits, walks and daytime or overnight house-sitting.
“Hannah saved my wedding day!! Our scheduled dog sitter (not from Rover) cancelled on us two days before our out-of-state wedding, and Hannah not only filled in last minute, she might be our pups favorite person💖 She is incredibly warm, they took to her immediately, and we were so grateful 🙏 Got lots of photos of them just relaxing around her and were able to enjoy our wedding day stress free. Thanks so much, Hannah!!”
“Kevin and Inez took SUCH great care of my senior dog while we were visiting Woodstock. I am very nervous about leaving him with others as he usually comes everywhere with me and is older but they made sure to update me with tons of photos and videos. I could tell that Gatsby felt right at home and was very comfortable at their house and with their dogs. I would definitely use them recommend them to anyone looking for pet care in Vermont! Thank you!!!!”
“Greta provided great care for our independent minded and sometimes mischievous husky mix and was willing to meet us elsewhere for the drop off and pickup since we had some challenging transportation logistics. Good to know we have a great option for Moon!”
“Diana was absolutely fabulous, I will definitely be using her services again and can’t recommend her enough. She had great communication and was sending me frequent updates and pictures! She took excellent care of my dog!”
“Steve and Keely took amazing care of my 11-month old black lab Rain. Their lab Sabra and Rain became fast friends and played together constantly during her 2-day stay. Rain had plenty of room inside and had daily walks and outside time as well. Steve sent me photos and updates throughout her stay. I have already rebooked with Steve for a weeklong trip I am taking next week. I can’t recommend him enough.”
“Jessica did great with the dogs and keeping me updated! They went on multiple hikes a day and came back to me tired. She was also very understanding and flexible surrounding pick up and drop off times”
“Benjamin and Laura did such a wonderful job taking care our 4-year-old dog over a holiday weekend. They were professional, responsible, kind, and flexible. They were also very responsive, quickly responding to our questions/comments and sending frequent text updates and pictures, which really put us at ease while we were out of town. Our dog had a fantastic time with and got along well with their two dogs. We highly recommend Benjamin and Laura to anyone looking for a dogsitter in the area, and we would absolutely use them again the next time we're in need of a dogsitter. Thank you for everything!”
“Edgar & Rene were the best! Dante, my golden, loved staying with them and their dogs. Edgar & Rene really went above and beyond to make sure Dante stayed active, got better off leash, and remained healthy. Dante & I are very grateful for his stay!”
“We cannot say enough good things about Sarah and Ben! They took amazing care of our girls and we got many updates with pictures and they looked right at home. Their dog Bean is so cute and our girls loved playing with him too! We were so happy knowing our girls were in great hands!!”

Attie had the best time staying with Jeremy and playing with his pup Maggie! He was very communicative and we got lots of updates and videos of Attie thoroughly enjoying himself, which helped me relax more on our vacation knowing he was having so much fun. Would highly recommend!
