House Sitting in Rutland

“Kayla was great! She sent regular pictures and updates. We came home to happy pooches. We will definitely contact her again for future stays!”

“Amanda was great! She was very responsive and responsible, and even jumped in during a pinch when we needed someone on short notice. Our super anxious pups (including our 85lb boxer) warmed up to her very quickly and we could tell they had a great time when we got home. We will definitely have Amanda back at our home to stay with our fur babies and recommend her for your sitting needs.”

“I have know Olivia for over 15 years and the one thing that I know about her is how committed she is to all animals around her. She is someone who would do anything to make sure an animal is taken care of, no matter the needs. I once watched her nurse a chicken back to health after it was attacked and lost its wing. The chicken pulled through and even grew feathers where her wing used to be. I would trust her with all of my pets because she doesn’t just treat them like pets, but like family.”

“Lila was a great sitter for Minnie. My very anxious “baby” took to Lila very quickly and that is not her norm, so I felt very comfortable leaving them together. Lila communicated and kept in touch well. She was very respectful of my home and even left a cute doggie thank you note. Minnie seemed to love her and I know this because often when I get home Minnie us sitting by the door waiting. She was sleeping in the living room and much calmer than my usual returns. I recommend Lila as responsive, responsible, and respectful. Thank you!!!”

“Amazing, as always! Danielle does a great job with our two cats and they’re always happy when we get home. Highly recommend and we will definitely be reaching out to Danielle again in the future.”

“Lori was great and the pups were very happy. She sent regular photos and kept in touch. Everything was perfect!”

“Liz is skilled, reliable and trustworthy! One of my cats has separation anxiety, requiring overnight stays, as well as some challenging behavioral issues. Liz quickly became well attuned, was caring and gentle, with excellent communication, and left my home as clean as I left it (maybe cleaner?) after 5 days and 4 overnights of cat sitting. I had real peace of mind while on vacation, knowing my kitty loves were receiving the best care. I highly recommend Liz!”

“This is the first time going on vacation without my furry baby with me. I was receiving daily updates on korsley that it really eased my worries and anxiety I was feeling. Tula was very understanding and wanted to ensure that she knew everything about korsley prior to watching korsley. I highly recommend tula she is wonderful young lady wjo loves animals and has a wonderful spirit about her that you know your furry baby will be taking great care of.”

“Sandra did a wonderful job taking care of my pup, Cora, while I was away for the weekend! It's the first time Cora has been perfectly fine without me or my mom! I would highly recommend Sandra!”

“In college, I adopted two sibling kittens from an overcrowded shelter that Makayla and I volunteered at. Makayla was my roommate and we raised them together for four years. I was unable to care for both of them the entire time so Makayla graciously took one of them on over the summers. When we graduated we decided the best choice was for her to fully adopt one of them- and Makayla has been her cat mom ever since! It was an easy decision; Makayla is flexible, caring, attentive, responsible, and loves animals of all shapes and sizes. Makayla was my first choice to entrust the care of my animals and she should be yours too!”

“We needed a sitter fast - it was Wednesday and the event was Saturday. And although we scheduled a meet and greet to happen in the afternoon on Thursday with another sitter, she didn't show up. I was bummed and decided to look on Friday morning. I was prepared to stay home from the family meeting, but I held out hope and I scrambled and searched Rover and found Allison. I'm so glad I did. She agreed to sit our two dogs right away and when we met Allison on Saturday morning, we knew she was a great fit. The dogs loved her and after sitting together for 1/2 hour, we left for our event. She sent great photos and when we got home, she was gracious and wonderful. She is calm and you can tell how much she loves animals. Our youngest dog can be twitchy and she cuddled with Allison which is both surprising and amazing. We'll definitely hire her again.”

“Kaylee did an awesome job dog sitting for a long weekend. She was communicative and reliable. I will definitely hire her again in the future.”

About: I have a great deal of patience and have always taken my time building a bond and trust with dogs. My approach is gentle confidence, subtle love and attention. I’ve been able to get close and train simple commands to dogs whose owners thought were unteachable or “don’t like people”. I work a full time job Mon-Fri with some work-from-home flexibility. I also attend school part -time but have my most availability during the weekends. I’m flexible and open to working around schedules. Following and having a full understanding of a clients home rules go hand in hand with caring for their pets in the best way possible. Next would be understandable the do’s and dont’s for their pets. Once both of those are known, it becomes more comfortable taking care of their pet properly while respecting the clients rules.

“She did such a great job with housesitting my two cats and was really flexible to accommodate their needs with her work schedule! House was clean when we came back and the cats were happy! Would definitely recommend and rebook!”

“Maria was terrific with my dog, Boston. Throughout my time away, Maria kept me updated on activities and sent over pictures highlighting how much he was enjoying his time with her. She was very professional, courteous, and responsive so highly recommend Maria as a great fit for your loved one.”

“Elliot has been a foster parent for abandoned dogs and cats for 20 years. He's great with dogs and is strong enough to handle larger, stronger dogs, including pitties. Additionally, cats and kittens love him. They will sit on him, sleep on him, paw at his face and hair. They seem to really love his gentle energy.”

“This was my first time using Rover. Dominque took excellent care of the animals when I was gone. She made sure they were fed, watered, and got lots of pets. When I got home everything was just as I had left it. It put my mind at ease having then cared for at home instead of at a kennel. Thank you.”

“Liz was very responsible, attentive and loving towards Cubby. This was our first time using a Rover sitter and we were very pleased with her care. We will rebooked Liz for the next week because Cubby loved her so much:)”

About: I have taken care of all kinds of dogs and cats! I will personally make sure your animals are walked, fed, played with and cuddled. I am best with small to medium size dogs. I have had German shepherds my whole life and a tabby cat for 14 years. I am currently working part time but I will make sure to have time to care for your pets wich is my number 1 priority! My schedule differs every week but I will personally work with you and you're furry friends to make ends meet! I care for my personal animals by making sure they are fed, loved, and played with. I love to go outside with my 3 German shepherds. I will make sure if I am in your home I will respect and handle it with care.

“Jon is great with animals. He has always been around animals so he had quite a bit of experience. Just right now he has two dogs and a cat. He is very responsible and flexible making him a perfect person to trust your pet with.”
