Dog sitting, hiking, adventuring!

Pet care experience

My boyfriend, Casey, and I have always loved dogs so Rover seemed like a no-brainer to us. I am a physician assistant working in Lebanon and Casey does environmental work in Montpelier (although he works from home most days). This makes pick-ups from any direction along that route easy! We love hiking, swimming, running, and generally being outside. We spend much of the summer outside and tend to always have a dog or two tagging along and have some AWESOME trails less than a mile from our house for walks. We have two dogs (an older one and younger one) who are both super friendly. The younger one LOVES to play though respects boundaries when he realizes dogs don't want to be his new BFF. Our older girl lived a tough life before we got her and likes to live out her best days napping in the sun. We have a fenced-in yard and while staying at our house dogs can come and go inside/outside as they please when we are around to supervise them. I have always had animals in my life and genuinely love caring for dogs. We can provide a wide range of services including brushing, nail trimmings, baths, med administration, etc. We are able to transport your dog(s) if need be and can take them for on- or off- leashed walks as well as to the dog park. Really if you want it done, I can do it!

Fantastic experience from initial booking through the stay and pickup! Really great folks, nice photos throughout the stay, and our dog clearly had a great time. We’ll definitely book with them again.

We were very pleased with the care our two basset hounds received with Casey (Kate). They have two sweet dogs of their own. Blossom and Amos must have had a wonderful visit, as they slept very soundly last night.

We loved Kate and Casey! They were wonderful and very attentive to our 10 month old pup. We went on a ski trip for four nights and hadn’t spent a night without him since the day we got him, so we were nervous! They are very knowledgeable when it comes to taking care of dogs and they put our minds at ease by sending us photos and comments about how he was doing daily. They have two dogs Draco and Maddie who are the sweetest and were great companions for our pup. When we returned our pup was exhausted (which hardly ever happens) and so happy! I think he truly had a blast. We will definitely be returning and would highly recommend them! Your pup is in good hands :)

My puppy had a great time with Kate and Casey! She played all day with their dogs and came home a very sleepy and happy pup. Would definitely recommend them f

Information Kate B. would like to know about your pet

The most important this is whether the dog gets along with other dogs, especially if I will be watching your pup for a day or more. I'd also love to know the training level of the dog and the comfort level of the owner. For instance, would the dog be okay on an off-leash hike or should they stay leashed? Is the dog good with all other animals? any trigger situations to avoid? What is the dogs current exercise level? I just want to make sure I am keeping your pup in his/her routine as much as possible to ease their anxiety. I would also want to be sure the dog is up to date on vaccines and flea/tick prevention especially given how many ticks seem to be out this year!

A typical day

I love spending time outside (either relaxing in the shade or going for adventures and love taking dogs along with me. Your dog can expect walks, hikes, runs, swims, snuggles. Casey and I are pretty flexible with our schedules and can cater to most energetic or laziest pups. Between him working from home most days a week and my flexible work schedule we always make sure the pups get all the love, attention, and exercise they need.
