“If you're looking for a pet walker/sitter who is fun, energetic, dependable and trustworthy, then you have to call Michele! She has taken care of our dog and cats many times and we never worry or wonder how they are doing because Michele is taking care of them and giving them loads of love and snuggles. She loves our pets and treats them like they are her own, which is very important to us. I highly recommend Michele to anyone looking for an amazing pet walker / sitter”

“Thanks Faye and Guy! Super accommodating, made sure Yuki felt settled and comfortable. Professional and made sure that Yuki had a great time while we were out skiing. Next time I’m up, will definitely be reaching back out! Thanks again :)”

“Kim provided doggie daycare to my doodle Rooney while I hit the slopes on our VT vacay. Roo came home happy & tired after playing w/ his friends all day. Kim even provides pick-up/drop-off services which are very convenient & much appreciated! Highly recommend!”

“Dana is amazing. You can always count on her to be responsible, attentive and caring to to all four legged friends. I will always trust my pets with her. 10/10 would recommend!”

“Penny and Maurice are very good pet owners they take very good care of their pets and have taken very good care of our dogs for us one of our dogs Bear was on medication she had cancer Maurice took really good care of her he even had her prescription transferred in order to not run out of her meds the dog we have now Bobbie she has epilepsy and her medication is twice again Maurice made sure she got her medication on time they are both good and loving pet owners I trust them with our dog whoever leaves their pets with them don’t have to worry they are in good hands”

“I have two large and, as much as I love them, sometimes difficult dogs. They are the kind of dogs that come with a list directions to keep them from causing problems and/or mass destruction. Not only did Julia take excellent care of them for me (on multiple occasions) but she somehow managed to keep my 130lb wrecking ball of a dog occupied enough that he was both uncrated AND didn’t use his freedom to destroy the house for a whole week. A feat I have NEVER achieved. They were happy and tired pups when I returned! And it doesn’t hurt that she’s an experienced vet tech to boot :)”

“Timber had a great time with Donald, it seemed like a dream day. Donald sent pictures and videos throughout the day of Timber having a blast. On top of running a resting, Timber was able to socialize with a neighboring dog. We came back to a tired happy puppy and look forward to future visits with Donald.”

“I highly recommend Sarah! Sarah has stayed at my house and taken care of my dogs on two different occasions. She is loving and responsible. Sarah previously was my co-worker---at work, she was always respectful, on time, and trustworthy, which is why I completely trusted her to care for my two dog babies. She loves her own dog a lot and is patient with one of my dogs that is a little temperamental. I wouldn't hesitate to hire her again.”

“Brittany is wonderful! We left our pup Molly with her for a day and couldn’t be happier! Molly came back happy, tired and had a great time with Brittany and her pets, she sent us updates with photos and videos! Next time we would definitely reach out again. Thank you so much!”

“Kevin (and his sweet greyhound) took great care of my dog for the day! He was very flexible when our schedule changed by about 90 min and we picked her up later than planned. So grateful!”

“Lisa is a very caring and loving sitter. I was apprehensive about leaving Rosie with Lisa, but after I met Lisa, I knew my little girl was in good hands. I wholeheartedly would recommend Lisa.”

“I can't think of anyone better than Melissa to be a pet sitter. I am her mother so the advantage is that I know her well and I witness daily the care she gives her pets- mostly dogs - but her daughter now has a cat who is treated like a princess. Melissa walks her dogs daily. Always on a leash where required but also has some special places where dogs can be unleashed. Pets are well fed, get treats (when they behave😂), have toys, warm beds, warm jackets. She would be the person that not only feeds, walks, pets but also genuinely cares about them. I truly believe river.com couldn't find anyone better suited!!! Rachel Pinard”

“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.”

“I highly recommend Katie! Very easygoing and I felt comfortable leaving my Chewbear with her. She was flexible with my time period and I did not feel rushed. If I had more energy I would have done more. Katie was very responsive to my texts and I even got a "report card" letting me know more about his time there. So nice to have peace of mind for your animal with severe separation anxiety. She is a godsend. Would definitely let Chewy visit again. Thank you Katie!”

“Maria was great with our high-energy dog! They went on a hike and went to the dog park, and Maria’s pups were great playmates. Freyja came home exhausted and went straight to sleep. You know what they say; a tired dog is a good dog. Maria was very accommodating with Freyja’s specific needs, too! Freyja would go back in a heartbeat!”

About: I knew from an early age I wanted to work with animals. I started horseback riding lessons when I was ten and went on to working off my lessons by caring for the lesson horses. This led me to manage a boarding barn and earn my riding instructor license. When I moved to VT I worked at an animal shelter for dogs and cats. This inspired me to go back to college for a degree in Veterinary Technology. I worked as a Certified Vet Tech for 12 yrs. Now I would like to focus on working from home and helping pets be comfortable and safe when their people are away. I'm currently working part-time so I have plenty of time for walks and visits. I'm available on the weekends for boarding and a couple of days during the week. I have a fenced in yard and two dogs to keep your family member company. We have lots of land and trails to walk on. I have a large crate available if needed.

About: Hello everyone! I have cared for many pets in the past with my most recent being my new puppy moose! He is an almost 9-month-old mini Aussie. With this, I’ve gained a ton of knowledge about training along with the dreaded potty training. Moose is potty trained and was fully potty trained at 5-months-old. I would love to be able to train other puppies/ dogs and have playmates for moose! I am sure your fur baby will be in the best care possible! I work part time which is usually not more than 2-4 hours a day! This leaves plenty of time for me to walk, train, and play with your pups! All pups will need to be in my care for boarding or daycare before 11 a.m. and picked up before 6 p.m. This schedule can be adjusted as I have a very flexible work schedule! I have a very large yard, along with a very playful pup to keep your pup busy! All dogs in my care will be created if I am not home to ensure they are safe. With this, all dogs will never be crated for more than 2 hours at a time. At your home, I will follow any rules you wish to ensure your pup's safety.
