Savanah is the best. We have a teen mastiff and she was perfect for the job. Her place has lots of room for your dog to play and have fun plus her dog is amazing as well and became best friends with ours. Will be using her again

Rosan took such great care of our two dogs, and they were very happy and relaxed when we picked them up. Rosan was so flexible about our drop off and pick up times, and sent us lots of photos and updates over the weekend. I can’t recommend Rosan and his family strongly enough! 🐾🐾

John was a fantastic sitter for our very energetic puppy. He provided us with updates multiple times a day and took great care of her. It was so nice to know our little pup was in great hands and had John’s own dogs to play with.

About: I have had dogs my whole life and have taken care of a variety of dogs since I was young, including puppies and senior dogs. I also have raised goats and chickens for years. I have a large fenced in yard for plenty of outdoor playtime and access to acres of wooded trails outside my backyard. I love hiking with dogs as well as playing outside. I treat each dog like a member of my family when they stay with me ensuring they are comfortable, loved, and getting their needs met. I look forward to getting to know your dog. I am available for boarding on the weekends and will customize the care to fit the need of your dog and take the lead from the owner. I have a fully fenced in yard for dogs to safely run around. I follow clear expectations provided by the owner and individualize care to the needs of each dog ensuring they are safe, happy, and comfortable.

Sarah was wonderful to work with, very communicative. We were able to do a meet and greet in advance to make sure our dogs would get along (they did!). Sarah sent a picture or video daily (sometimes multiple times a day). It was nice to get updates on how our dog was doing, so we didn't have to worry on vacation. We will definitely use Sarah again!

Brooke was amazing!! She answered quickly and with short notice, and I felt very comfortable leaving my 10 month old puppy with her (and Bailey)! She sent updates and pictures, and was very flexible with timing of drop off and pick up as I had a long drive. Would recommend to anyone in the area or if you’re taking a trip to Stowe or Burlington!

About: Experience taking care of many animals including goats, chickens, horses, bunnies, pigs, guinea pigs, and dogs of all sizes! Experience with both small, large, and all dogs in between! I have been a long time user of Rover for my own dog Ham for many years! I have had such a great experience using Rover when I am traveling out of state that I want to give you and your dog that same experience whenever you need to travel and leave your dog behind. I have one dog Ham who is 9 years old and male he is neutered, up to date on all vaccines, and takes regular monthly heart worm and flea medicine. I will only accept booking that I have "Meet and Greet" to see how they get along with Ham and make sure they are comfortable and confident together. I can accept 2 dogs per night (will accommodate for repeat client) Once or twice a day walks for up to an hour (weather permitting), your dog will be comfortable, happy, and well cared for while your gone . Your dog must be dog friendly, vaccinated and flea treated. We have plenty of rooms in our house and a patio and path for them to explore around. They are welcome to sleep anywhere at the house that makes them the most comfortable. I am happy to travel to meet and greet and can also do pickup at your place for a fee. Thank You, Alexandra I am self employed so I have a very flexible schedule that can be tailored around your pet. Normally I am home all day Thursday through Sunday. Dog friendly condo with walking path and private patio (can be fenced in for smaller dogs). Entire downstairs is pet friendly with property close to dog parks and hiking trails. I also have a guest room that can be set up to fit your dogs needs.

Isaac went above and beyond sending my daughter daily pictures of Lillys activities. Both she and I were very appreciative. Lilly looked very happy and probably misses having a 24 hours playmate. I would definitally recommend Isaac to take care of your family member. We'll certainly be calling him again.

Christina was an excellent host to Curie, our 8yr old female Labradane ! She was very accommodating and communicated often on how our dog was doing. She spent quality time to get to know her better and make her feel at home. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a 'home away from home' for their four-legged family members!

We had a wonderful experience with Danielle caring for Leo our Maltipoo recently. So good in fact that we quickly rebooked her for three nights in August. Leo took to Danielle and AJ instantly and during Leo’s stay Danielle sent us photos and updates. In addition to staying in her lovely home Leo got plenty of exercise with long walks in the neighborhood. Danielle and AJ are calm and pleasant people who genuinely enjoy caring for others' pets.

About: I’ve had pets my entire life and they are a huge part of my life! I have volunteered at the animal shelter where I helped to socialize the animals and train dogs to behave on a leash. I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes. Your pets will receive lots of cuddles and play time! CAT ALLERGY. I unfortunately I can’t tolerate overnight stays if you have a cat. This means if you have a cat, but are just booking for your dogs I am still unable to stay. Thanks for understanding! I am currently a full time student. I will be available in the late afternoon and evenings on most weekdays and have open availability on the weekends. Your pets will receive ample playtime and cuddles! I am experienced in giving meds if your pet has any prescriptions. I am willing to care for puppies and pets with any special needs!

I needed a last minute sitter for the holidays, and I am so grateful for Christina for boarding my dog, Maggie. She is quick to respond, very flexible, and she and her family took such great care of her! Lots of cute pics were sent to me and there was plenty of space for Maggie to run around. She was exhausted when we got home! Thank you so much, Christina for a wonderful experience!
