About: I've had pets for a majority of my life and am deeply passionate about animals! I have pet sat for several friends, family friends, and family members. I view pets as a big part of the family and believe they deserve just as much care as any other family member. I currently work full time. But I am available Monday-Friday (overnight/ Before 9am/after 5pm, overnight/midday potty breaks) and Saturdays & Sundays (overnight/full availability). I am also happy to make exceptions on a case by case basis. I do not offer pet boarding in my home. But can and will care for your fur baby however you need me to while I'm housesitting for you!
About: I have taken care of pets most of my life. I have had dogs since I was 5 and am comfortable with dogs of all backgrounds and sizes. I know that every pet has a unique personality, needs, and quirks, and I take the time to get to know each one. My goal is to provide easygoing, loving care that helps your pet feel secure, happy, and relaxed while you are away. I'm currently a college student interning at Williston Recreation and Parks for the summer. I have a pretty consistent schedule, though there are sometimes last-minute changes. Most of the time, I have a pretty consistent schedule and work 4 hours a day, usually in the morning and sometimes into the early afternoon. So the afternoon would be great time-wise. When it comes to dogs, their safety is my top priority. I put in the effort to make sure every pup in my care has a happy, healthy, and safe experience. I stick to their routines, keep things clean and secure, and always treat each dog with love and patience. Good communication is key, so I’m always up for sharing updates and keeping you in the loop!
“SUCH a responsible, caring, and reliable friend of my pup. Each time I’ve booked with him, he’s been a great communicator, especially when my dog became sick. I plan to book with Felipe again if I can!”
“Amelia was great with my 1-year old cat Ash. She gave him some brushing, playtime, pets, and sent frequent updates with plenty of photos for each check in. Would definitely recommend Amelia and I’m sure will be using her services again in the future!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs for over 6 years. I enjoy getting to know your dogs routines and working to make them feel as happy as possible while you are away. I am great at setting up sniffaris, am happy to go on adventures or walks, and will send you lots of photos! I’m currently working part-time so I can be very flexible. I can offer house-sitting services and also drop-in care throughout the week as you need. I am a calm person who takes the time to get to know animals. I will make sure your pet is comfortable and will keep your space clean while you are away.
“I am very happy with my experience with Clare. She is sweet, kind, and caring. This was my first time leaving my cat Sprite alone and only having stop in visits to be fed and played with. Clare took pictures of Sprite during each visit and made sure she was taken care of. I will definitely hire Clare again!”
About: I have grown up with the dogs of various breeds - Boxers, Jack Russell's, Irish Terrier, Shnauzers, Lasa's and Mini Labradoodle--my entire life and now into an empty nest stage. After raising 3 kids and many dogs(and chickens) in our own home, I know it's not easy to find time to do it all- let me take some of that stress away by helping out. Kids have mostly gone out of state and looking to spend some time with dogs. Hoping to spend some time walking, playing with grown dogs or puppies as we currently do not have one of our own. Our dog passed after 14 wonderful years and I would love to be able to help out with day to day walks, ball throwing, or just to be there for an extra cuddle to fill that void- there is nothing like the love of a dog. I am currently working part-time and looking to fill my schedule with some furry friends. We lost our dog of 14 years and I would love to spend time with dogs more. I am available 8 to 4 most days Monday through Friday and look forward to some quality pet time. I could also do some weekends or longer, regular visits if scheduled ahead. I'm pretty flexible I have a large yard and wooded area behind our house, no neighbors close by, lots of room to run and play. If taking for walks, definitely would be on leash. I love to walk Mt Philo if yiur dog would love the company of a furry friend, could pick up and walk with any dog who has the energy.
About: I have been my friends and some families go to house and pet sitter for a very long time. While I mostly have experience with cats and dogs I like to take care of all pets. I like to take pictures to catch the funny moments. While I am in school this give good flexibility for dropins/walking and overnight stays letting me easily fit into you and your pets schedule. While I can't take care of your pet in my home, I can do house sitting and dropins/walks. I am familiar with complex nutrition requirements for different animals as well.
About: I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life, and have taken care of neighbors’ pets for many years. I am active, and can take your dog for walks and runs! I am most available this summer during May, June, and into later July. I keep my calendar updated regularly to reflect days I am unavailable. I have house sat / dog sat / babysat for many years. I hope to adjust to any special needs of yours/your pet, going above and beyond to ensure your satisfaction. :)
About: Hi, I'm Elissa! I'm a lifelong animal lover who's been pet sitting on Rover on and off for nearly 10 years, depending on where life has taken me. These days I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to spend more time caring for pets while saving for a wedding. I grew up with dogs, so caring for them has always come naturally. Most of my Rover experience has been with dogs of all ages, sizes and personalities… including puppies, high-energy herding breeds, senior dogs, reactive dogs, and pets recovering from surgery or taking medications. In 2020, I adopted my first cat, and I quickly became a full-fledged cat person. I've also lived with two cats who didn't get along, so I'm comfortable reading feline body language, giving nervous cats the space they need, and helping them feel safe and comfortable. One of my biggest strengths is adapting to each pet's unique personality and energy level. Whether your pet wants a hiking buddy, a playmate, a quiet companion, or someone to stick closely to their routine, I'm happy to meet them where they are. When you're away, I'll care for your pets the same way I hope someone cares for mine. I can offer patience, kindness, plenty of affection, and lots of updates. Our pets are a big part of our lives, but to them, we're their whole world.
“Amalia was absolutely fantastic!! She came out to meet my dog ahead of time and I could tell right away that my dog was going to be in good hands. She provided me updates and photos, and went above and beyond to provide excellent service. Would absolutely hire Amalia again!!”
“Alma was very professional and took great care of my cat Eddie. He's on the anxious side and can be wary of new people, she was able to make him feel comfortable enough to approach for scratches.”
About: Hi there, my name is MJ and I'm interested in help you with your doggos, or just your one and only pupper. I have been around dogs all my life. From chihuahuas, to pitties, a Rhodesian Ridgeback (yeah, they have a lot to say. Lol...), to your average American mutt, I seriously love all dogs. For the ones that just want the basics to those who are super charged, I can match their energy. I'm available for drop-in feedings, walks, and play-time. Have a doggo that needs a little extra attention, no problem I don't mind hanging out for a few hours, so you can run errands doggo free, appointment that might be long, or just need to escape for a bit. I am flexible between the hours of 8:30am-5pm, if you are in Shelburne village I can be a bit more flexible until 8pm. Overnight stay can be arranged with at least 2+ weeks notice. We have 2 fabulous felines, Zen & Leia, that are our fur babes!! We start every morning with feeding & water changes. Toy & fun, scritches & snuggles, sometimes even a cat nap. We make our own cat food as well. I have cared for personal family pets, friends pets (dogs, cats, fish, smallies.). I am very professional and enjoy being around animals very much. We have 2 cats, Zen Vader and Princess Leia. We also have a ball python, Ms. Bea Arthur. Caring for animals brings me so much joy, and I love the thank yous of butt wiggles and a purring machine.
About: I’ve had pets my whole life. Whether it be walking the dog, changing a litter box, or maintaining a food bowl, I know how important it is for pet owners to have their furry friends be cared for. Throughout high school, I had the privilege to work at my local afterschool daycare, so I am no stranger to keeping tabs on numerous clients at once, maintaining a clean working space, and of course having lots of fun. Above all else, since I have no pets at school, it would be doing ME a favor to get to check in and take care of your precious animals. I’m currently working part time, so I will have plenty of flexibility to fit time in for visits, walks, and more. When I’m not working, I’m stealing time with friends animals or asking to pet people’s dogs when they’re on a walk. Your precious pet’s safety comes first. I am very cautious when entering and leaving a house. I am always sure to double check the fit of a harness/leash. I will be sure to double check whatever instructions you give me and am more than happy to accommodate however possible.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Shelburne stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Shelburne choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Shelburne with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
