“Nicole and Michael took wonderful care of our boy Murphy and communicated with us regularly with texts and photos to keep us updated on how he was doing. We are very comfortable using them again and recommending them to others.👍”

About: I work from home, so your pup gets plenty of company, attention, and care throughout the day. I have a huge yard for supervised play and a great neighborhood for walks. I’ve also cared for friends’ and family members’ dogs for years, and after losing my own dog when he was 16, I know how special our pets truly are. Your dog will be treated like family here! I’m also happy to work on basic training and good manners while they’re with me! Since I work from home, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m able to provide at least two walks each day—one in the morning and another in the afternoon or evening—along with plenty of playtime and attention throughout the day. I also have two teenage boys who are at home 50% of the time and absolutely love dogs, so your pup will have lots of company and affection! I'm available during the week and most weekends for playtime and boarding. I care for every pet as if they were my own, while following their normal routine and any instructions you provide. In my home, they’ll have plenty of attention, playtime, and walks, plus a big yard to enjoy and plenty of space for a crate or dog bed if they’re used to having their own spot. Since I work from home, I’m around throughout the day to keep them company and give them lots of love and attention.
“Definitely recommend Chris & Lindsey. This was my 1st time using Rover and I was nervous. They communicated with me frequently throughout the day and kept my mind at ease! If the need arises again I will absolutely book again with them”
“Laura and Tyler were great with my dog! He has pretty bad separation anxiety which makes it very difficult to leave him new places. Laura was awesome about introducing her dogs one by one and letting him get accustomed to her dogs and her home. She tried different areas to see where he would be most comfortable and really put time and effort into getting him to relax and be comfortable. She kept me up to date and make me feel a lot better about where he was and how he was doing. I would definitely use them again when we're in the Adirondacks!”
“Alex was a wonderful sitter during our Lake George vacation. She sent multiple pictures every day and was quick to answer any questions. Fen loved playing with her dogs and daycare puppies too. We will definitely use her again for our next visit!!”
“A Big Shout Out to Brittney for taking care of our Finley for his first weekend away from home. We were a little nervous since our dog has some separation issues. But she kept us updated through text and photos and he looked like he had a great time with her and her cutie dog Pierre. Dogs got along well and our boy looked relaxed which in turn let us know we made the right choice when picking Brittney. We will definitely call her again for future help.. Thanks Brittney!!!”
“We did a trial night with my dog. I knew immediately she was perfect for my special needs fur baby! She knew exactly how to care for him and I felt at ease. She went above and beyond with Boomer We have booked Boomer next stay . I highly recommend Davis .”
“Kelly was amazing with our puppy! We loved all of pictures and updates throughout the day. Kelly took Avery on a bunch of walks, trips to the park, and gave her loads of attention and loving to keep her happy and comfortable! We look forward to having Kelly take care of our pup again in the future!”
“Laurie was a fantastic host! Her home is in a beautiful spot with lots of room for the pups to run. Her Bostons are adorable and very friendly. My dog loved it. Thanks Laurie!”
“Ella was great! She was super easy to reach, and she provided updates and photos while boarding our doggo, Tots. We will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future! 10/10 in all departments”
About: I grew up on a farm, which gave me hands-on experience caring for a wide range of animals, including horses, pigs, rabbits, chickens, ducks, cows, and various small animals. From a young age, I’ve always had dogs and cats in my home, and animal care has been a constant part of my life. I currently work at a dog training facility, where I am continuing to advance my career as a professional dog trainer. On a daily basis, I work with dogs of many breeds, sizes, temperaments, and unique quirks, and I’m confident handling nearly all dogs. I’m experienced in the proper use of training tools such as prong and starmark collars, slip leads, and ecollars. At home, I share my life with four dogs and five cats, further reinforcing my comfort and confidence in multi-pet environments. I’m also comfortable administering medications when needed, and nail trims are available upon request for an additional fee. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. If you choose me, you can rest assured your furry family member will be in capable, caring hands I am currently only available in the evenings after 5pm through the week and all day Fri-Sun. Send me a message and we can work something out! I am flexible and can make almost anything work. I am CPR / first aid certified as well. My dogs have a routine we follow and I would love to help keep your pets in theirs while you’re away! Send me a message and let me know what you’re looking for!
About: I’ve been an EMT for over 20 years and have lots of experience walking during 911 calls into homes where the pets were nervous and scared. I was always the one in the crew to be the one to help them relax and trust that they weren’t in danger. I currently work at the hospital, and own a big home with fenced in back yard and am available to do check ins, sitting and overnights on weekends, either in my home or yours. I have a fenced in yard and only one kitty. Her name is Lily and she would love the company, as her brother Jinx of 13 years just passed away and they were pals and did everything together.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Rupert home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Rupert.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Rupert sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in VT ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
