“Thank you Barbara and Darryll for being such great companions for Nyima while we were gone. It was so helpful to know she was loved and taken care of - and that she got to play outside with you every day!”
“Kevin was great - excellent communication, and I felt my dog was in good hands. He stayed with Kevin for the two days we biked at KT. Kevin took him for hikes each day, which was greatly appreciated. He has a sweet greyhound that didn’t seem at all perturbed by our high energy springer! We go to KT at least once a year and hope to book him again!”
“Julia was an excellent match for our two dogs for overnights. Large running and playing area and she took them for lots of walks. They obviously felt comfortable with her right away. Julia is an experienced dog professional and exudes the confidence and technique theater goes along with that. We will definitely call upon her again for dog care.”
“THANK YOU FOR TOLERATING MY STINKER!! I am so thankful that my partner and i were able to have a mini vacation. Senna seemed to have a good time with shannon despite her wild anxiety. 10/10 would book again 🫶”
“Nina was awesome! My dog Mattis had a great boarding experience. I felt 100% comfortable knowing that Nina was taking such good care of my boy. Not only would I recommend Nina to others but will be asking her to sit for Mattis again soon.”
“My dogs are use to structure and I chose her because of her profile stating trainer experience. She was a amazing care giver. She kept us posted with pictures and communicated very well. The dogs seem very at ease when I brought them home. Also I was nervous because this is my first time using rover she provided me with a great experience. She has earned a repeat customer. Thank you for taking great care of them.”
“Our dog, Baker, has stayed with Piper multiple times and always has the best time. Piper gives him so much outside time and is really in tune with Baker’s needs. I also love that Piper gives us lots of daily updates and photos. Piper is our most trusted dogsitter and I never hesitate to see if she’s available when we need to travel!”
About: I've always been around animals growing up. I've cared for all different kinds of livestock, cats, dogs, and small animals like bunnies and reptiles (no snakes or spiders though yet). And I love every minute of it. I have over 10 years of professional pet caring experience. I've house/pet sat for family members before. And local people in my town. I've also worked and still work in horse boarding barns, small family owned barns, and a local large animal sanctuary. I've even volunteered at my local animal hospital multiple times. I'm always willing to bend to the clients personal request when it comes to caring for their fur babies and homes. Right now I'm still in school until June 8th 2025. I have 3 jobs. One is seasonal and 2 are year around. So my schedule has a lot going on. Luckily my jobs are pretty flexible making things like house/pet sitting doable. I'm a very patient person. So when it comes to dealing with pets and tasks I take things one step at a time. My pets are well loved and know it. I have never gotten a complaint from any past or present client. I am more then willing to communicate different needs and come up with a plan to make your pets and you getting to know me a good and relieving experience. I'm also more then happy to give regular updates and send lots of pictures.
“Julia was AMAZING. She was the first person we’ve ever left our little fur baby with besides family, and after her... I don’t know how we’ll leave her with anyone else! She sent us incredible and gorgeous photos, took her on a hike and probably 6 walks within 24 hours, and took amazing care of Ina. I would recommend julia to anyone looking to board their dog in the Bay Area—she even met us 30 minutes from our house since the hour drive was a bit far for us, free of charge. Julia is an incredible dog sitter and such a clear dog lover. Highly recommended any day x x x x x x x x x x”
About: I grew up with cats, fostered dogs in my early 20s, and had the most incredible K9 companion for 14 years. My 14-year-old dog, Hendrix, passed on about two years ago and I am missing his presence and energy A LOT. I want to share my love with some more animals by providing dog walking and animal care for others. Previously, I have cared for and walked dogs for folks in the communities I've lives in via word of mouth. I've also been a volunteer at a local animal shelter, fostering and walking dogs. I have plenty of references upon request that can attest to my trustworthiness as well as the compassionate care I provide. I work from home and my schedule is fairly flexible. I can provide a comforting home for your animal to stay during the day and/or overnight. There are trails right outside my home that are great for walking so your dog would receive many lovely walks throughout the day. I will care for your pet as if they are mine and provide them with compassion, attention, exercise, and play. I will adopt the routine that the animal is familiar with and that best meets their needs. They will be in good hands!
“We were so happy to find someone who is fear free certified & uses positive reinforcement and were thrilled when Maria let us know she was available to watch our 7 month old puppy on short notice. Our puppy had never been alone or away from us so we were very nervous but when we arrived at Maria’s home, we were put at ease when she let him approach her vs. coming over to greet him as he can be a bit shy at first. Our pup took to Maria fairly quickly and once we went inside, Maria introduced her dog Lalo. Lalo was very sweet and so patient with our pup who was extremely excited to have a friend to play with. We were worried our pup would have a hard time with us leaving but we were actually able to sneak out the door/leave while our pup played with Lalo! Our pup is a high energy breed and Maria made sure he got both physical and mental stimulation by bringing him on several walks and offering a Kong. He slept almost the whole 3 hour drive home! We received our first update from Maria shortly after we dropped off our pup and she continued to send frequent updates and texted back very quickly - again putting our worries at ease! We would absolutely recommend Maria and if we are ever in the area again, utilize her services!”
“I wholeheartedly recommend Kim to anyone needing boarding or daycare for their doggie crew. I initially made boarding reservations for my two dogs, but plans changed when a 75 pound rescue came into my life. Kim was willing to board my entire crew of 3. Kim is conscientious, kind, patient, and accommodating. (One of my girls is sometimes uncomfortable walking on hardwood floors, even with trimmed nails. Kim put out yoga mats and a runner to help her feel more comfortable.) I would not hesitate to recommend her and Moose.”
About: My schedule is flexible so I'm able to spend time throughout the day with your fur baby. I'm active and happy to play fetch for hours! I like to take puppers for multiple walks and give lots of love and pets. The clients I sit for like the fact they can contact me last minute and I'm generally able to adjust my schedule to be available. My schedule changes from week to week but feel free to contact me to double check my availability no matter the season! I like when clients leave me detailed instructions on what their pets normal schedules are, that way there's less stress put on myself and on your fur friend! I'm able to work from home most days of the week, this allows me to be available for all pet needs - morning, lunch time, and after work walks are a part of my daily schedule when we have a dog to take care of. Lots of mental stimulation and training exercises throughout the day to keep them out of trouble helps too! I have a 9 year old cat in the house that tends to keep to herself in the bedroom when there's a dog around. Our home is on 5 acres of land with a big yard to do lots of sniffing around. I'm also located right on the rail trail for longer walks and adventures!
About: I am a very experienced pet owner in Montpelier - I have owned and loved alpacas, dogs, goats, cats, and backyard birds of all kinds. I have also done foster care of kittens and cats for CVHS. I'm available to provide a fun and loving spot to board your dogs. They will get attention, care, walks, and playtime with my 3 dogs. I have a crate if needed, can be one level if mobility is an issue, am willing to administer meds and have no problem with puppies or senior pets. I am home all afternoon and evening and weekends and dogs get a lunchtime walk as well. I am available for boarding all of the time, but only showed weekends because that’s when I am home all day and evening. During the week dogs would still get a morning and lunchtime walk and care all afternoon and evening. I will send updates and photos throughout your dogs time with us - I am also available to pick up and drop off dogs for an additional fee. I work in Montpelier until 3:00 pm so pets get exercise in the afternoons and weekends, and dogs get a lunchtime walk as well. I am around all of the time on weekends and school breaks and all summer. Our house has many dog beds, crates, toys and treats. We live on many acres and dogs can be on or off leash, depending on needs. I also take dogs to local trails to walk and socialize.

April R.
“You couldn’t leave your pup in better hands! April has taken care of our fur babies many times. She’s responsible and dependable and our dogs are always ecstatic to see her. Although our Bernese and Labrador are different ages, with different personalities and needs, April always treats both as her own- with care, respect, and love. As a dog owner herself, she understands the attention to detail that pets require. Highly recommend her!”

Brooke M.
“I am beyond lucky and grateful to have Brooke in my life. She’s the kind of person you can always count on—dependable, honest, and hardworking. She makes everyone around her feel at ease. Brooke’s love for animals shines in everything she does and she has even started fostering dogs in order to find them their perfect home. She’s patient, attentive, and incredibly thoughtful, always making sure that everyone (two-legged or four-legged) feels cared for and safe. I’ve seen firsthand how dedicated she is, not only to her friends and family but also to any task or responsibility she takes on. Whether it’s helping a friend in need or going the extra mile to make sure things are done right. I can’t think of anyone I’d trust more with my pets. She has such a calm and nurturing energy, and I know any pet in her care will feel just as lucky to have her as I do.”
Melissa P.
“I have known Melissa for many years, first as my daughter's amazing 4th grade teacher and next as a fellow dog-owner and dog walking partner. Melissa always shows the utmost care for her dogs when walking, assuring that the course is accessible, that the dogs have appropriate tools for the weather (vests for the cold, etc.), and that their needs for safety and water are always met. Melissa is also simply a dog lover, which shows through her friendly interactions with all dogs we encounter on our walks. Melissa would be a great carer for your pet.”

Kevin was exceptional - this was our first experience with a dog sitter, and he was courteous, responsive, and accommodating. His greyhound, Maki, is a gentle soul who got along wonderfully with our smaller dogs. We were especially grateful for the updates and photos of our pups relaxing and out on walks. I highly recommend Kevin and would be happy to entrust him with our pups again in the future!
Barbara and Darryll are amazing!! Our Mozzy was so happy and well cared for while he stayed with them. They were quick to respond and respectful of our rules. Mozzy came home even better behaved than he had been! We are so grateful to them. It is good to know we have a great place for Mozzy to stay if we need to go out of town.
