“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 🫶”


“Sam and her family are great! My girl is a snuggler who does best if not left alone a lot and they delivered. It's the best of both worlds: experienced dog handler meets doggie daycare meets lots of individual attention and all the snuggles. She was flexible, easy to work with, and great with my beagle!”


“Christina and Jason were great with my girls. I received pictures of them daily along with descriptions of their daily activities. They kept my girls busy and happy. I would highly recommend them.”


“Lika and Alister were amazing puppy sitters! Jellybean had tons of fun, they sent lots of pictures and made us feel very comfortable during his vacation! We will definitely have Jellybean stay with them again and would recommend them to anyone.”



“Piper took amazing care of our 1 year old husky, and she was very accommodating for a last second overnight visit we needed. We had a wonderful meet and greet that made us feel comfortable leaving Zinnia with someone we didn’t know for the first time. She was great about answering any questions or concerns we had. The meet and great went so well on the morning of drop off Zinnia was so excited to see Piper again! Piper was amazing at giving us updates on how Zinnia was doing, what they did that day, along with a bunch of photos she took during their adventures. Safe to say we would absolutely bring Zinnia to stay with Piper again!”


“I picked up a happy pup after a stay with Eddie and Rene. Eddie took Charlie on walks, hikes, and to the local parks. He has two other dogs who got along well with Charlie. Eddie is quick to respond to texts and sends pictures along. We will have Charlie stay with Eddie and Rene again. Thank you !”


About: I have been walking and pet sitting since I was younger. I would watch and walk my neighbors dog for them when they went away. I recently graduated from UVM with my B.S in animal science hoping to go to Vet school in the future. I have worked with more than just dogs and cats, but livestock too. I work at a vet clinic as a vet technician right now and walk/ pet sit for families in the area now. I work a full time job at a vet clinic but have availability before and after work, as well as weekends. My hours do vary on certain days so feel free to reach out regardless! I do have a good size backyard. It is not fenced in but I have do have 4.5 acres of land behind my house. There are also walk/hiking trails down the road from my house.

“Kevin was great with our dog King. He kept us updated on how he was doing and sent us pictures while we were away. He took King on many long walks. King had so much fun he didn't want to leave when I came to pick him up lol. Thanks for taking such good care of him.”


“Christina was fantastic! Zoe loved spending time with her, and we appreciated the photo updates while we were gone. We don't need boarding very often, but next time we do, we will absolutely use Christina again. Thank you so much!”


“Julia was great at communicating, and drop off and pickup was easy. Her home is clean and contains a safe gated outside area. I had booked a single day to see how my dog would manage in a new location. While the location was beautiful, there were too many deers for my high prey drive dog. Regardless, my dog had a great time with Julia at the beach and came home happy and tired. I’m really grateful for Julia’s honesty about my dog’s inability to relax at the house due to deer. It wasn’t the best environment for my dog, but I could tell that Julia made sure to make the best of the day for Lizzy and she really values the comfort and safety of dogs above all else. I would highly recommend Julia to any friends with dogs who aren’t highly reactive to deer.”

“Lahana was fantastic, very easy to communicate with and I felt she truly heard and took to heart my cat’s needs! She Was incredibly friendly and was flexible with drop off and pickup for boarding! Her doggies were super friendly and well managed for the brief interaction I had with them! She helped out big time and was affordable for what I needed! She updated me with pictures throughout Wally’s stay without me even having to ask! Thanks so much Lahana! Looking forward to reaching back out in the future when traveling in the area again!”


About: There was not a single day in my life that I was not surrounded by dogs. No matter which house we lived in, I was always greeted after school by one, two or three dogs. Before moving for university, my mother and I began fostering puppies for two weeks at time. We would wake up at 4am when we heard them squealing, stay up late making sure they could have the latest potty break possible for hopes of maybe sleeping in the next day, and even build a pen in our backyard to allow for endless playtime together. Due to these numerous pups we cared for, my dogsitting popularity skyrocketed in our neighborhood. I was being called upon every other week to care for my neighbors cats, dogs, and once even a chinchilla. Now, I hope to provide the same service and be there for your cutest friends when life simply gets in the way. I don't mind the -20 degree weather if it means going for a nice brisk walk with your dogs.

“Many thanks to Hannah for taking care of our dog on short notice! Was responsive and kept in communication during our dogs stay, and made sure to hang out with him. Would recommend Hannah to anyone!”


“So glad we found Kaitlyn! She is now one of our go-to dog sitters. It’s clear that she takes great care of her own dog and strives to do the same for others. She was eager to learn about and meet our pup’s needs, providing lots of care and attention, exercise and outdoor time. We could tell from the pictures that our dog Nyima was happy and got along with Kaitlyn’s dog Cedar. Couldn’t be more satisfied!”


“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.”

Beatrice H.Star Sitter
“Bea has taken care of our 3 cats and home for a number of years when we travel. She has always been available, and is very dependable. I am confident that both our cats and home are being looked after when we are away. She is definitely a pet lover. Her family lives behind us, and I watch her play with and spend time with her dogs. When we are away, Bea keeps in touch with us; she lets us know how the cats are and if there are any concerns, or just to send cute cat photos. I highly recommend Bea D. for a position with Rover.com for dog sitting.”
