House Sitting in Rutland

“Fiorella was a wonderful caretaker for our three dogs and home while we were away. She sent regular photos and followed all instructions thoroughly. Also left the house nice and clean!”

“My wife and I found Sarah on Rover because we were planning a destination wedding with all of our friends and family. All the people we usually ask to watch our dog, our cat, or take care of our house would be joining us for 10 days in another country. Understandably, we were apprehensive about entrusting all that to a person we did not know. When we connected with Sarah, a few months before, we chatted and discussed organizing a meet and greet and then having Sarah do some regular dog walks in the weeks leading up to the event. At every step of the way, Sarah was prompt, communicative, friendly, honest, and above all, incredibly caring and loving to our animals. Before we left, Sarah checked in once more with a detailed review of all the logistics we had discussed for the stay. Sarah arrived as planned and spent 10 days taking the best care of our dog Mia, our cat Tar, and looking after our entire house. She stayed at the house overnight, took Mia for walks each day, played with Mia in the yard, and spent some quality comfort time in the house with both Mia and Tar. She updated us daily with pictures of the animals as well as information about the day’s activities and how the animals were doing. We were always fully comfortable that our house and animals were in the best of hands. We will continue to hire Sarah in the future for house sitting and pet care needs and give her the highest recommendation.”

“Meaghon was the best! She went above and beyond to care for all of our pets and our home while we were away for the holidays. She communicated often and sent us a lot of pictures. She made sure our pets had lots of love and attention while we were gone. We were so lucky to find her and would highly recommend her to anyone!”

“Lila was absolutely amazing. My dogs take a while to get used to new people. They are rescues and require A LOT of patience. Lila provided that and my dogs love her. I feel comfort in knowing my pups are with her.”

“Kayla is an amazing sitter. She took care of our two reactive fur babies for a recent weekend trip out of state. It was our first time entrusting anyone outside of family and close friends with Bark and Hachi and Kayla quickly won over both of them. We are so excited, relieved, and grateful. We will definitely be staying in close touch !”

“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!!!”

About: would love the opportunity to care for your furry family members! I have a deep, lifelong love for animals and truly enjoy spending quality time making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s going for long walks, playing with favorite toys, or just providing some extra snuggles on the couch, I treat every animal with the same patience and kindness I would give my own. Your pet's comfort is my top priority. I have watched many dogs/ cats There is nothing I love more than the company of animals! As a teacher, I bring patience and a structured routine to my pet-sitting, ensuring your babies feel secure while you're gone. I’m a morning person who truly enjoys those quiet, early walks, and I’m always ready for more activity or snuggles once the school day ends. Whether it’s a quick overnight or a two-week stay, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I I have watched cats and dogs. Dogs I take them out when they need to walks if need!and for both i give a lot of attention if need. I also talk to the animal to help them h Feel notice.

“Excellent! Will book again in the future!”

“Mackenzie is a very reliable pet sitter and I would highly recommend her to anyone who may need one. She took care of my 4 pets- 2 kittens & 2 dogs- one of which is a senior and a bit more high maintenance and when I got back from my trip they were very well cared for and happy. Thank you!”

About: I’ve had many animals all throughout my life. I’ve dealt with different sized dogs and I’m also a big fan of cats and other small animals! I currently have a 6 year old guinea pig and a senior tabby cat. I have cared for many family members dogs of many sizes. All though I am a full time employee, I have lots of free time to spend time caring for your fur baby and providing the extra company they need. I am a very clean person and that goes for my pets as well. I follow routines and love giving them play time and attention.

About: I have experience with dog sitting different breeds, sizes and ages. I have a passion for and love all dogs, and have my own dog which I have cared for the past 5 years. I am a senior college student at Fitchburg State living in Holden, working a remote internship, so I am available throughout the mornings and most afternoons. I can care for your pet in your own home. I can feed your pet, take them for walks, and play with them indoors or outdoors, whatever is preferred.

About: Hello and thank you for visiting my profile! You clicked on THE absolute best pet-sitter you will ever find. My name is Amy, and I LOVE ANIMALS. I've had pets since childhood; dogs, cats, gerbils, hamsters, lizards, bunnies, fish, ferrets, and turtles. Most of my pets are rescued. I'm a great dog walker- I will take your dog for a lengthy walk, (or a slow stroll for my older clients) and I will provide him/her with attention, love, and affection. According to their needs, I can sit with your pet to offer comfort and companionship, or romp around on the floor or in the yard for exercise and stimulation. My visits can be tailored to your requests. I'm reliable, trustworthy, and committed. Your pet's health and safety come first. I will take pictures during my visits (or videos, if you'd like) so you know your pet is being cared for. If you have a cat, I will bring toys for stimulating activity, or simply sit with him/her and offer a comforting presence. I also care for gerbils, hamsters, bunnies, birds, and turtles. If you have fish, I will feed them, and give them attention. (Yes, I connect with fish.) I understand animals. I relate to them. I'm intuitive to their needs. And of course, I have great references. There is no better pet-sitter on the planet than me. I look forward to meeting you and your precious family member! I'm currently available on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. I can be flexible in the morning, afternoon, or early evening hours. If you need more than one visit per day, that can be arranged as well. I will show up with great energy, a calming presence, and toys to play with (according to your pet's needs.) I'm not like other pet sitters- I really spend TIME with your pets. I'm intuitive and understand their needs. For younger pets, I offer lots of play and exercise- stimulation is important! I'm physically fit and would be happy to walk your dog if requested. After the walk, I will sit with him/her and offer my affection and attention. I will refresh their water bowl, feed them, (if requested) offer a treat, (if requested) brush them, play with them, or simply sit with them and be a calming presence in their day. It all depends on your pet's needs. I cater to their behavior and energy. If you have other pets in your home (gerbils, fish, turtles, bunnies, birds, etc) I would consider caring for them during your vacations. All to be discussed and negotiated, of course. As you can see from my profile, I'm very accommodating and flexible, and I offer a wide range of services.

About: I’m a very responsible and loving pet owner. Have rescued many pets and now have found myself with some free time and would love to help new pets and people! With notice, I am completely free on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays & Sundays. (Monday, Tuesday & Friday I can be available for a few hours in the am) I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space to play and a kiddie pool to cool off in! I have three very friendly doggos myself but plenty of space so they can be kept separate if you desire.

“Jill took great care of Frank. She gave us updates constantly and she made us feel relaxed when Frank was with her. I would request her service again if I need to!”

“Fawn is responsive, communicative, and was very patient with our dog who needed some time to adjust. Fawn is reliable, professional, and took great care of our dog and home. She put us at ease knowing we were in good hands. We will definitely book her again.”

About: My whole life as long as I remember I was the biggest pet lover. I had my own pets and I’ve taken care and walked the dogs of my neighborhood. I just love them. I work part time, which gives me a lot of time to do my favorite thing: pet sitting!!! I work part time and have a lot of time for my favorite hobby which is caring for these lovely creatures. I have a fenced in yard and I love walking in the woods with the doggies. I have a fenced in yard and I walk the dogs three times a day. My 2 lovely dogs will keep your dogs company. I will make sure they are spoiled.

“What a wonderful first Rover experience! We are so grateful to have found Peggy. She watched our dog overnight and was so nice and accomodating. Thank you so much!”
