“Kara is able to coax my cat out of hiding! I'm so grateful for her loving touch with animals. I highly recommend Kara. You can trust her completely with your home and animals.”

About: Hi, I’m Jessica! I’ve cared for my own animals since 2014 and have experience with everything from playful puppies and cuddly cats to wise senior dogs. Whether it’s a gentle walk, senior dog snuggles, kitty playtime, or keeping your big pup exercised and happy, I’ve got you covered—and I’ll keep you updated with plenty of pictures along the way. I am also experienced with dog aggressive/reactive dogs and able to provide a safe space for them to relax & play. I appreciate meeting clients and their animals before agreeing to any services. The more you can tell me about your pet and their temperament the better I will be able to care for them. All dogs must be house trained. All cats must be litter trained. I currently work from home full time which allows me to be present during the day for your furry friend 💜 plenty of play & sunshine to be enjoyed. I have an unfenced yard with 2 acres to explore and play on if your pup is not dog friendly. I also have the rail trail very close by for walks. Pets are allowed on the furniture (how else can they get snuggles??) & can easily crate a pup if needed.
“Paige was extremely attentive towards our old cuddle bug of a cat who can’t go 10 minutes without attention! She spent extra time with her every day, always sent picture and video updates, let us know how she was doing, and even cleaned up after a bear encounter completely without being asked— major bonus points! She’ll definitely be our go-to sitter in the future.”

“Chelsea is absolutely wonderful! She is very attentive and genuinely loves your pet like her own! I will absolutely be rebooking Chelsea again when the time comes!”

“Hailey did a great job with our two cats. Loved seeing the photos and having the little updates every day, and both cats were healthy and happy when we returned. Would definitely recommend!!”


About: Just getting back with Rover and would love to care for your pup(s) overnight or provide doggy day care in my non-smoking Colchester, VT home. I've been boarding dogs in my home for 9 years. There are no children in my home and is female-only occupied. I offer a fully-fenced grassy yard and I am home all day. In addition to lots of play in the yard I like to take them to the dog park (weather permitting). Dogs can come in and out of the dog doors into the fenced yard as they wish during the day-or I let them in and out if they are not accustomed to dog doors. I am always close-by and very safety oriented and provide lots of attention. When indoors, the pups spend time playing with me and my dog, enjoying dog toys, napping on dog beds day and night (or in a crate if you prefer). Recent references provided at the meet 'n greet we'll schedule prior to boarding so you can check things out and ask questions. I am home all day and pups boarding with me have 24-hr care. I am up early and they are fed according to their individual needs. They can the play outside or inside as they wish, coming in and out of dog doors to fenced yard, or my letting them in and out if they aren't used to dog doors. They have final potty breaks in the evening and then inside for the night. Non-smoking, non-drinking responsible home. There are no children in my adult, female-occupied home. I have a fully-fenced, grassy yard and a cozy, peaceful indoor environment. I only have up to 3 dogs in my home at a time. Frequent play, treats and toys provided.

“I could not recommend Jaime more! She was absolutely lovely and very compassionate with both of my dogs. She dealt with road closures and a few hiccups with the flooding/bad storms we had in Vermont during the week of her sitting but was very communicative and helpful throughout the week. I had never left my dogs with anyone but family/close friends prior to having her dog sit and will most definitely be hiring her again. You can tell she truly loves animals and cares about them.”

“Jennifer is by far my favorite sitter I’ve booked! She went above and beyond while taking care of my sweet dog Cooper while I was away for Christmas. I would recommend her to anyone :)”

About: I have been working with animals for the last ten years. Started working in dog daycares and moved my way up to vet medicine where i now am a vet technician. I am patient and understanding to all pets personalities and ages. I am currently working 3 days a week on a specialty service at a veterinary hospital. My weekends are typically free and I would love to fill the time with your furry loved ones. Will be very respectful of your home and make giving your sweet boy or girl my devoted attention. Back yard fence in play is great but leash walks are also great!

“This was our first time using Will’s services and we’ll definitely have him back! He kept our puppy entertained and safe while we had to be out for a few hours and was very flexible with timing. Thank you!”

About: I have been pet sitting for over 10 years now. My experience ranges from small to large, puppy to old, and active to immobile animals. I would be happy to provide references if needed. I am currently a masters student at UVM. Lots of time spent at home studying. Gone for few hours a day at most which makes me a great fit for pet care. I feel comfortable with following any training routine your animal is going through. I am capable of taking care of a home with other responsibilities besides pet care that need to get done while you are away.
About: I have experience working in a doggie daycare setting. I have experienced many dogs of many breeds and followed instructions for each individual dog needs. I have also handled dogs from mild manner to dogs with bigger personalities. Schedules are set daily/weekly/monthly depending on the needs. I offer pet care, pee/exercise breaks to pet sitting so will work with each need that arises to best support the dog and their owners. I do not offer pet care in my home. I will gladly communicate with the owner to accommodate the needs of your pet while taking care of them for you.
About: I’ve spent a lot of time doing long term dogsitting as well as drop in feeding/walks. I have experience with puppies, seniors, and everything in between! I’ll be your dog’s new best friend! I work part time Monday - Thursday so I am usually available for sitting or drop in visits Friday - Sunday, as my schedule allows. For overnight and day care for dogs I am available to travel to your home to sit for your pets. For walks I can travel to your home and walk them around your area, or I can pick your pup up and bring them on a hike or trail walk!
About: I have taken care of animals of all kinds, from cats to cows! I love animals of all kinds and am excited to meet yours! I am currently working a few jobs part time, so I will be able to provide attentive care for most of the work week and weekend. I have an unfenced yard and a park right in front of my house. The neighborhood is great for walks. My home is large and I am comfortable staying in clients homes.

Sheldon pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jessica was pleasant, cheerful and an all-around pleasure to do business with. My kitty Cinnamon Bun was a bit feral when she came to me, so I didn't expect her to come out to meet the new Rover lady...but she did!! You can tell a true cat person when that happens....Jess was everything I had hoped in a pet sitter....totally recommend~ And she sent me tons of pics of my baby when I was missing her. I can't say enough good but you will be pleased. :)
