Jessie was an absolutely wonderful house and cat sitter! She took great care of my two cats and made sure they were well loved and looked after while I was away. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Jessie sent regular updates and photos, which I really appreciated. I felt completely confident that my pets and my home were being thoughtfully and responsibly cared for the entire time. I would definitely recommend Jessie to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive house and pet sitter!

Whitney was very attentive to our dog's needs. It was reassuring to receive daily updates and photos. We came home to a happy, calm dog which is the true test of her time with Whitney. We would contact her in the future.

Erin was fantastic with our two high anxiety dogs. I was very nervous for this trip as it came a week after we returned from a two week trip where the dig sitter we hired only did drop in visits, leaving our dogs distressed and clingy, but this time we came home to two very happy pups who very quickly ignored us to play with toys and each other. They even went to look for Erin this morning. 1000% will book her again.

It was great to have someone as responsible and caring as Molly stay in my home for 5 days and care for my dog and water plants/bring in mail etc. I can highly recommend her! She left the house 🏡 in better condition than she found it as I was rushing out to catch an early flight. I received daily pictures and updates and she was proactive re any questions she had. We will book her again for sure!

About: As a life-long pet owner, I understand the difficulties and challenges in caring for the fur-babies that you love with all your heart. Every pet has their own personality, needs, and quirks, and I take the time to get to know each one. My goal is to provide patient, loving care that helps your pet feel secure, happy, and relaxed in your absence. I’ve just started my own business, which has given me the flexibility needed to accommodate a variety of schedules, including daytime visits, evenings, and weekends. I work hard to provide the level of care needed—and often above—to give every pet in my care a happy, healthy, and safe stay. I respect established routines, keep environments clean and secure, and treat each pet with patience and care. Clear communication and trust are important to me, and I’m always happy to share updates.

Sarah is AMAZING! She was extremely flexible with start and end times. I appreciated that she came over to meet the boys prior to the dates I needed her to watch them. She sent pictures throughout the weekend and kept me updated on how things were going. I would definitely recommend her, and will be rebooking with her in the future! Thank you, Sarah!

Sala stayed at my house for 5 days. She was wonderful and took excellent care of my two cats and my senior dog (he has medical conditions that require a strict medication schedule 3x a day). She was very communicative and provided regular updates/photos. I struggle leaving my senior dog with anyone because of his medical conditions, but he was in good hands with Sala and I was able to enjoy a vacation without worry :)

Mary did an amazing job house sitting and taking care of Barkley. I think Barkley had as much fun hanging out with Mary as she did hanging out with him. Mary was thoughtful and compassionate in caring for Barkley, she made sure to walk him and took him on a few excursions. I highly recommend Mary if you are looking for a great sitter!

About: My priorities are communication, caretaking and diligence when I take care of a pet. I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, I have taken care of many of my neighbors pets. I’m open to caring for pets in any home as long as I am given all the instruction one would need. Just starting out on Rover but have had many years of experience, I’m always happy to walk dogs at much as they need and hang out with cats :) My temporary job position came to an end so I am available for much of the month of May and into the summer months. I can walk dogs and check on animals many times during the day. Safety and trust are the most important when caretaking. At the moment I unfortunately cannot care for animals in my home. I am happy to care for any pets in your home and my availability is very open for Burlington Vermont area in the month of May and June!

About: I’ve been surrounded by pets of all kinds since a young age. I have the ability to take care of multiple pets at once, including my three dogs Oliver, Cullen, and Suga. My priority is to make sure every dog I sit is shown proper care, love, and happiness. I have a very open schedule this summer. I do like to have some of my weekends to myself so I am unable to spend nights on weekends. I have open availability and am excited to meet some furry friends! Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I exclusively provide care in clients' homes to help pets stay in their familiar environment. Whether it’s walks, feedings, playtime, or just quiet companionship, I follow your pet’s schedule and preferences closely.I always take time to learn each animal’s needs, from medications to favorite toys or hiding spots. I can also keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and loved while you're away.Your home is treated with the same respect and care I’d give my own—clean, secure, and just how you left it.

Paul and his wife stayed overnight at our home for two days and one night to watch our Shih Tzu Monty, and it went great. We’d never met Paul in person before booking, but he was communicative and responsive from the start, which made it easy to trust him. We came home to a clean house and a happy dog. Paul sent photos of Monty on walks throughout the stay, which we really appreciated. Would definitely book again and happy to recommend him.

Kristen is the best house and pet sitter we have ever had. She spent 10 days taking care of our dog and house. When we returned, the house was even cleaner than I left it, packages and mail neatly stacked, and dog happy and healthy. Kristen communicated all important issues promptly, and even went so far as to find, remove, and save a tick on our Beagle. I can not recommend her enough!

It’s been years since we’ve been able to travel due to finding solid pet care. We were so happy to meet Scarlett who is both loving and professional as a pet sitter. She took great care to listen attentively to all the instructions and unique needs of our three pets (a bird, kitten and elderly dog!). She comminuted well with us in the planning stages (which put my mind at ease) and throughout our trip. We were so grateful to come home to a clean house with all the pets healthy and happy!

She was super communicative, sending pictures and updates while we were away and was very respectful of our home. I highly recommend using Braedyn for pet/house sitting and will use her again in the future for sure!

Posie is an absolutely stellar pet and house sitter. I recently went on my first week long vacation away from my cats and felt so comfortable right away leaving them in Posie's care- when Posie came to get a tour and do a quick meet with them, she got right on their level and was so gentle. Posie sent photos every day, was very communicative, and comfortable giving medicine. One of the cats got an eye infection right before we left and I felt terrible adding eye drops to their regiment for Posie to tackle, but she was totally unfazed. This same cat is terrified of everyone who isn't me or my husband, and by just a few days in she was letting Posie approach and pet her, which proved what a natural she is with animals to me. Definitely hire Posie!
