About: I have had my Rottweiler (Chet) for 12 years and she is absolutely my favorite person. She is a part of my family and I tend to her the same way I do for my 4 year old son. She needs time to play, to exercise, to feel loved and appreciated. Making sure that her needs are being met is a top priority for me as I’m sure it is for you and your companion. I currently work at Farm Sanctuary where I also help care for farm animals. Animals are a passion of mine. I love taking Chet for walks and would love to be able to give you peace of mind knowing your dog is getting the attention and exercise that they need.

About: As a former foster parent for dogs, I’ve cared for pups of all ages, sizes, and personalities—from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs who need extra patience and love. I know how to read their body language, build trust, and provide a calm, comforting space. Whether your dog needs playful enrichment, gentle medication, or just lots of snuggles, I tailor my care to their unique needs. I treat every dog like family because to me, they truly are. I am also willing to help monitor and care for cats, and other small in-home animals, such as hamsters. If you have any of these pets that will need tended to please let me know during your booking. Bonus: I’m experienced with crate training, leash manners, and helping shy or anxious pups feel safe. Your dog will be in loving, capable hands! Please see my attached schedule within the photos for time frames I am available for your baby! If you have any questions about my availability or schedule, don't hesitate to reach out! At my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I create a safe, cozy, and low-stress environment where dogs can relax, play, and feel right at home. I follow their normal routines as closely as possible—feeding times, walks, play, and any special instructions you provide. Because of my experience as a foster parent, I’m very mindful of each dog’s personality and comfort level. Whether they need extra playtime, space to decompress, or just a lot of love, I adjust my care to fit their needs. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to respect their space and routines while keeping communication open. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being always come first—no matter where they are.

About: I have a lifelong passion for animals, nurtured since childhood, and currently share my home with two playful dogs and three affectionate cats. My supportive husband and three kids also adore our furry friends. With my experience caring for and fostering dogs at a local rescue, I love helping pets feel comfortable and happy. Our spacious fenced backyard and warm family atmosphere ensure your pup will have a great time playing and enjoying companionship. I am dedicated to providing all the love & care to make sure your furry friend has a great safe time’ As a stay-at-home mom, my schedule allows me to focus on my family and pets while my kids are in school. I usually run short errands or attend quick appointments, never gone for more than two hours, so I’m always nearby for my furry friends. I create a warm and welcoming space where every pet feels loved and comfortable. With my own dogs and cats at home, I know how important it is to keep a close eye on our furry friends, and I’m always nearby to give them the care they need. My time volunteering at a local rescue has given me the skills to handle a variety of dogs from playful puppies to gentle seniors. Sharing detailed information about your dog helps me tailor their care and ensure their safety, making them feel right at home. They’ll always be in a nurturing environment where they’re never alone for long and receive all the attention they crave!

About: Growing up with dogs as a part of the family I have taken care of them my whole life. When I was 15 my family brought home a new puppy and I didn’t have a summer job, so she was my responsibility. Over the years I have taken care of dogs of all ages from energetic puppies to senior pups that need a little more love and understanding. I have administered medications and eye drops with ease and few trick up my sleeves. I enjoy having training sessions with the dogs and even teaching them a new trick while their family is away. This helps give them something to focus on and encourages bonding between us. I would be honored to take care of your furry family member while you’re away. I'm currently working part time and would love to help out your family while I have the time. While in my current status I can do more walks, potty breaks as needed. Potty break is the first and foremost needed when I arrive at a client's home. Then a walk, a little time for some training and a little bit of play as well. It's just as important they have some mental stimulation.

About: I have 3 adorable pups! I love them to death and I recently adopted a pit-bull puppy that’s the sweetest girl and a quick learner with her training! I always make sure to properly take care of my dogs, play with them, and spoil them with loads of love and attention. im currently 18 and a senior in high school, I have worked plenty of jobs but I recently resigned to focus on my studies, and taking care of your perfect little pets will be a fitting outlet for me! I have many college bills I need to pay and rover is the perfect way to earn a little bit of money to pay them off. I can do late afternoons, evenings, weekends, and all day during summer! I’ve had pets all my life I have learned to take care of and love them, putting my heart into it, and I honestly just have a natural calling to animals, they love me and I love them!

About: I have worked with animals my whole life I took a 3 year long course on animal behavior and I am majoring in college for zoology I am in college so I am available after 5 on the weekdays except Wednesday I am not available . Friday, Saturday, and Sunday I am available any time I am able to care for any size dog as I have cared for very small dogs to very large dogs and I am able to accommodate any needs that you may have for your dog!

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats since I can remember! Volunteer with AJ search and rescue and fur mom of a golden retriever, a corgi, and 2 tabby’s! I freelance currently, so my schedule can be flexible! 2 days notice preferred but can accommodate same day. Reliable vehicle, happy to accommodate preferred schedules! Happy to work with clients in their homes and follow whatever instructions provided to take good care of your best friend! Let me know how to access and where food, leashes, treats etc are and I’ll take it from there!

“Monica did great with our black lab! She had good communication, and she also cleaned up a bit of trash our dog got into. She was also willing to come out on Christmas, and she even brought a present for the dog! Thanks so much for everything!”


“Sarah was great! She made it so easy and worry free for us to go away for the weekend and leave our two kitties at home with someone trustworthy and kind to animals. She was on time and sent cute pics to keep us in the loop. I also appreciate that we were able to book her at the last minute! We will be booking her again!”


About: Hi! my name is Chloe, I’m a paralegal and I love animals. I have a lot of experience with being a caregiver for pets. My uncle previously was a breeder and he would have my sister and I take care of the puppies during his work days. I also have experience with caring for others pets and have completed many services through Wag. Now that summer is approaching, i am ready to fill my evenings and weekends with animals. I will have more availablity as the summer goes on. Depending on any service, I usually read the owners notes to care for the pet during the time asked to do so. I’ve previously used Wag and when I complete the services I communicate a lot with the pet parents throughout the time letting them know what I’ve done, etc.

“Kylie is a true professional .She took such great care of my dog and treated him like her own. Super reliable, loving, and always sent the sweetest updates. I’d trust her with my boy anytime.”


Alexandra J.
“I highly recommend Alexandra to anyone who needs a loving, patient, caring and fun place for their loved fur-baby to stay. Alexandra has watched out precious "Luna" on multiple occasions, and our normally shy dog gets so excited when we bring her to Alexandra to stay while we are out of town. It makes us feel much better knowing our girl is happy and safe when we need to spend time apart. Our Luna has pretty intense separation anxiety, but she does really well with Alexandra.”


Rebecca R.Star Sitter
“Rebecca always takes amazing care of our dog and home while we are away. She really loves animals and it shows. She sends photos and updates so we know they both are having a good time. In addition, our home is as clean as when we leave. Rebecca is the best person to care for your dog and home. Highly recommend!”

“Abby is a natural when it comes to pets. Animals seem to gravitate to her warmth and kindness. She is also extremely punctual and would place the needs of your pet over anything. She is very active and able to walk and play with them. She has been a pet owner (multiple dogs and cats including rescue animals) and has been a pet sitter in my home many times. She is meticulous about meal times and portions. She can be counted on to do whatever you need for your pet.”

Chloe A.
“Chloe is amazing at caring for herself and her pets, and is so gentle with other's pets. She is a pet lover through and through and spoils every pet she comes across with as much as she can. When she first met my cat, I warned her he didn't like strangers and would probably run away as soon as he sniffed her. Instead, he warmed right up to her. Chloe is also great at managing stressful situations and has been there for me countless times. She makes sure she has everything figured out and a solution for any situation that can go awry. She is a problem-solver, fierce, and full of love. I believe that she's great for taking care of your pets 100%!!”
Middlebury pet parents share their Rover experiences
I scheduled a drop-in visit with Sarah who will be housing sitting for my dogs in July for the first time. Sarah was great, came in and made my German Shepherd Cooper comfortable, Cooper who will be 2 in August gets nervous around new people. Sarah played with him and gave verbal commands that my dog obeyed very well. Put me at ease about going away in July.

We have two large Rhodesian Ridgebacks and Jess was very comfortable and confident in watching them. They are well behaved dogs and they took to Jess from the initial meet and greet. Jess was very communicative during her visit and we would certainly use her again!

I contacted Jess (thru Rover.com) again because she was great w/my 2 cats the last time and I'm so glad I did. It was wonderful to come back and see that neither of them were traumatized at all! She contacted me every day and provided me with pictures. Jess went above & beyond and took great care of them! I left her a good tip and she deserves every penny AND MORE!!
