“Holly is fantastic, and takes such great care with my pup. She is gentle, and takes the time to take lovely pictures for updates, showing how much she knows that I care about my dog. She is prompt in responding, and absolutely professional, she is very diligent in asking questions when you first week to make sure she takes care of your pets needs. I have used Rover for years now, and I have never found a better caregiver for my dog. I recommend Holly to everyone I know who needs these pet services!”

About: I’ve had a dog my entire life growing up. I got my very own dog at the age of 16 and cared for that dog and many others since then. I have pet sit for many neighbors and friends and they all say just how much they appreciate how I treat their animals as I do my own pets! I work from home and have a lot of flexibility with my job so I can be available to watch your pets and go over throughout the day as needed. I have a fenced in backyard, one small dog, and three children. I will typically be watching your animals in your home, but I have my own vehicle and very reliable!

About: I have many years of experience, taking care of my own animals and pet sitting. I have experience with dogs and a passion for reptiles. I also have experienced fostering dogs from a local rescue with references upon request for animal care. I am currently looking for part-time pet care positions. I have flexibility, transportation, reliable, responsible, punctual, and will work around a variety schedules as needed! I will treat your animal that you were home the way I would treat my own animal in my home. I will follow all of the guidelines that you provide for how you love your pet to be cared for and follow them meticulously.

“Excellent service. Walked my dog and took pictures. Even played with her at our dog park”

“Jessica was amazing! She walked my two dogs, a high strung chihuahua and elderly dog (14 y.o.), for 30min for 4 days. She reached out and asked if I wanted her to meet the dogs before walking them which was great. The chihuahua tends to bark his head off at strangers, and I wasn't sure how he'd react (he ended up running away from her the first day for 15min, sorry Jessica). The older dog had diarrhea throughout the house one day, and cleaning up after something like that isn't really what I consider her job. I told her she didn't need to worry about it, and I'd deal with it when I got back. However, she ended up cleaning up as much as she could anyways (that's going to be a big tip). Besides my dogs being a huge pain. She always responded quickly and sent a lot of pictures from the walks.”

About: I have been taking care of dogs for 10 years, whether mine or those belonging to family. I have trained puppies as well as taken care of my dogs that have reached their golden years, and helped them over the rainbow bridge. My top two priorities are communication and safety. Any need you have regarding your pet is of utmost importance because pets aren’t just animals - they’re family! I have two dogs at home, one is 1 1/2 years old and the other is nearly 4. We walk 3 times daily, as well as plenty of enrichment time inside. Enrichment depends on the day, it can be playing with toys, eating treats from snuffle mats, lick mats, or just running around with them until they’re as tired as I am! Safety is my biggest priority. I follow instructions very carefully, I keep a close eye on your fur babies both in the house and outside. I can send real time updates that way you know exactly what is going on at all times, and I will always make sure to ask questions when needed. I can recreate your pets routine as closely as possible, and I will always bring positive energy!

“Jazmyn was great! She sent great pictures! Arrow seemed very happy with her. She truly went above and beyond.”

About: I’ve taken care of pets through my childhood, and now as an adult I have three dogs (one of which is a service dog) and a bunny we spoil daily. I also have experience with senior dogs who need a little extra help doing basic tasks. I’ve seen first hand how hard it is to find quality pet care who show up when they say they will, and spend time with the animals. I’m hoping to alleviate that stress for you and your family! I’m currently a stay at home mom, with ability to care for your pets throughout the day and evening. I am available during the week, weekends, and most holidays I have taken courses on proper leash care, and dog handling. I have a fenced in yard, and safety gates to prevent dogs from going out any home door. I also respect all clients requests on how to take care of their fur babies

“Chloe has been a lifesaver!! She sends us detailed messages and cute pictures of our dog, Buddy, from each and every visit. It is very clear she is an animal person and trustworthy in her patience and loving interactions. Thank you so much!”

“Sarah is a great person! She took the time to get to know us and our dog Rosie. She was very patient getting to know Rosie, who can be a little difficult with strangers.”

About: "Looking for a sitter who truly speaks animal? I have spent my entire life caring for an incredible variety of pets, giving me the unique skills needed to handle almost any animal family. My experience includes giant dog breeds (English Mastiffs and Great Pyrenees), livestock (horses, chickens, and goat herds), and exotic reptiles. Today, I am a proud parent to a cat and two Holland Lop rabbits! Because I have lived alongside animals my whole life, I excel at reading their body language, vocal cues, and unique personalities. I am ready to provide a premium, loving, and safe environment for your babies!" I'm newly a father and am currently on paid family leave, and am available most days. My daily routine includes waking around 3am and getting the day started. I have several 2 hour blocks of time throughout my day that are not currently filled with any activities, perfect for caring for your pets! In My Home (Cat & Rabbit Friendly): Separate Zones: I maintain dedicated, safe zones for my resident cat and two Holland Lop rabbits to prevent stress. Exotic-Safe Space: My home environment is calm, secure, and adapted to handle specialized pet needs without disruption. Escorted Outdoor Time: Any outdoor access is strictly supervised within secure boundaries.

Emergency Ready: I keep your preferred vet information on hand and maintain a clear action plan for urgent situations, prioritizing your pets health above all else!

About: Hello! Whether you need someone to walk your dogs twice a day, check on your kitty, or house sit for a week, I’d love to help! I have several years of experience with both dogs and cats at various shelters including the SPCA and Burlington Animal Services. In addition to basic pet care including feeding, cleaning, and socializing, I have quite a bit of experience being a medical foster. Caring for injured animals and administering medications isn’t an issue for me. I’ve owned cats, dogs, and various farm animals throughout my life so I’m very comfortable caring for any animal’s needs. If you have a pet I haven’t yet cared for I would be more than happy to learn how to care for your baby as well as you would. I'm also happy to bathe your pets for free, I just clean their shampoo and brush. I absolutely adore animals and am really looking forward to getting to know yours! Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions! I grew up with four high-energy terriers, so I’m very used to making sure that both pets and people are always safe in any given area. When I enter a home, I always open the door slowly with my leg blocking the gap to prevent excited pets from rushing out. Food or choking hazards are always kept out of reach either on counters or in cabinets and I’m completely comfortable with security measures like alarms and in-home cameras. My pets are a huge part of my life so I completely understand wanting to protect them to the best of your ability. I’m a full-time Rover sitter, so my schedule is super open. I know how hectic life can be and accept last-minute bookings, so please don’t hesitate to reach out! When housesitting, at least 80% of my time will be dedicated to your pets. I have to run errands from time to time, but other than that, I stay focused on them! I lock all doors and windows when I leave, at night, and generally during the day, and your home will look exactly how you left it! Regardless of the type of booking, I’m always very careful when I walk in to prevent animals from bolting outside.

“Allie came by to meet our pup before taking care of him, which we really appreciated! She spent extra time with Teddy and made sure he was walked and fed. Will definitely be using her again!”

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs since I was 8. For the last 7 years I have taken care of my neighbors pets, cat and/or dog. I would be more than happy to take care of yours! I am a college student home for the summer, I am not working and always home so I am always available for taking care of your pets as if they were my own! I have a deck, plenty of open space near my house for your pets to run around, I also have a dog who is friendly and would love to keep yours company.

About: I’ve had the privilege to be a friend to many furr babies. I love to hang out with dogs and spend time at the dog park. I have a lot of love for the babies Very flexible at the moment. Don’t hesitate to reach out to see if I’m available last minute! Weekends are here and there but it never hurts to ask! I have a fenced in yard and live 1 mile from a dog park which I frequent. I have 2 dogs of my own who get along with others very well! If needed, crates are available. There are endless toy options for everyone! I struggle with trust in someone who’s looking after my babies when I’m not with them. I want to provide the ease of mind while caring for your babies when you’re not.

“Paige was great! 5 star experience all around from scheduling (she was flexible and responsive) to seeing how kind she was with our new puppy. She even took a picture of him that is by far the best photo we have so far. Thanks again!”
