House Sitting in South Franklin

“I’m very happy to have arranged for Will to dog/house sit. He was clearly very attentive to Ruby and Mika during my 36 hour get away, and did his best to help them feel comfortable in his presence. He listened well to details for their care and provided me with updates and photos over the course of his time with the dogs. He left the house in great shape. I highly recommend Will if you need a dog sitter.”

“It is clear that Georgia loves animals. Our dog was well cared for, the house was spotless on our return, and she kept in touch throughout our trip. Would have back in a heartbeat!!”

“Bev did a great job with my kitty. It was so nice to be able to relax and enjoy my vacation and not have to worry about Wolfie’s care and wellbeing. She communicated frequently and sent pictures. I came home to a very calm and happy kitty and a clean home. I will definitely use her services again. Thank you Bev!”

Lynne C.

“I am so grateful for the care provided for our cats! It felt clear that she understood how to meet and make each cat comfortable! I believe our cats felt supported and safe because August did everything to keep the cats routines. We feel so grateful and will book again!”

“Anna is reliable, calm, responsible and delightful. My dogs feel at ease with her. She has dog sat for us before and we definitely plan to book with her again. I highly recommend her.”

About: I’ve taken care of neighbors and families pets for extended periods (~7-10 days). I found a litter of feral kittens this past summer and cared for them until finding them homes. I’ve also watched many breeds of dogs from chihuahuas to mountain dogs. I’m available most days and hours as I don’t have much of a routine as this is my current source of income during my time of from college. My personal dogs are able to be off leash constantly as I am from a farm background which allows them to have a lot of space. The dogs I’ve watched often have fenced in yards that I’ll play with them in and let them outside on a schedule the owner has requested.

“Vi was wonderful to accommodate our last minute booking request. They came on time and were thoughtful and accommodating to our pets idiosyncrasies and needs. They were appropriately communicative. I would definitely book with Vi again.”

“Sukhpran was awesome! She left our house cleaner than when she arrived, everything was cared for, pooch got frequent walks and communication was great.”

“Sarah was great with our high energy dog! We were out of state for the weekend and Sarah stayed in our home and took great care of our dog and our home. She was very responsive as well. We’ll definitely be reaching out to Sarah next time we’re away!”

“Ilia was fantastic. Although Oliver was not well during our absent she handled it very professionally and with care. She communicated with us frequently on Oliver's well-being. Which was very much appreciated. She stayed in our home the entire time and left it very clean and orderly. We would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a sitter. Thank you once again Ilia. Michaela and Dan”

About: Life long, I grew up with cat's and dogs. Along with other animals in the household. Mainly growing up with two cat's and a herding dog but also two small lap dogs. I'm working Fridays and weekends. Along with heading to college in the second to last week of August so right now Monday - Thursday are my available days I have two pet Friendly dogs that love to play and I would take them to dog parks to be able to get energy out in a safe and monitored environment.

“We had a wonderful experience with Shannon! She followed our directions perfectly, making sure our dog felt comfortable and cared for. She even gave him lots of cuddles, which he loved. We found her to be reliable and trustworthy, and it was great to know our dog was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve always had pets growing up. I’ve learned to care for pets responsibly and give them the love and attention they need everyday. I make sure I’m attentive and fun for all the pets I take care of. I’m in college and can do any job during my breaks and weekends work the best most of the time. Also the summer I am mostly free. I’ll always make sure that your pets are leashed while outside and will make sure your doors are locked in case of possible intruders. I will always keep an eye on your pet so they don’t get up to mischief.

“This was our first time using Rover as first-time dog parents and we were happy to have Sarah as our sitter! She not only stopped by our home throughout the day over the holiday weekend to walk our puppy (with the occasional trip to the dog park!) but she kept an eye on our 1 year old cat as well. She provided updates to calm our nerves of leaving the two animals home alone and was really easy to connect with prior to our trip. Looking forward to having her help again in the future!”

Beth U.

“Agnes was fantastic - just such a nice person and our dog loved her. She stayed in our home, and I can’t event tell she was here. We’ll definitely seek Agnes out again in the future!”

Samantha S.

“Heavenly Hayley! My cats are demanding and complicated little goblins but Hayley made me feel like she was their biggest fan. I knew Hayley was indulging all their quirky needs so my time away was even more fun and relaxed. Her presence made everyone's life better. I hesitate to write the review she deserves because she will get too popular on Rover and I might never be able to leave home again.”

About: I’ve been taking care of and walking neighbors dogs since I was in middle school, I still remember their names and their favorite ways to play. I’ll be in the state for about a month and during that time I am nearly completely free for helping out with helping out in any way I can. I’m always respectful to house rules and have always been good at judging a dogs mood as well as being able to deal with an animals behavior in a positive way.

About: Hello! I’m Katie and I’m the woman petting the dog instead of socializing at the party. My fiancé Jonny and I just relocated back to Lamoille county and we’d love to watch your dog! Aside from having our own (a dachshund named Klaus, a chihuahua foster fail named Pig and two cats, Fats and Carl) for last nine years we have boarded dogs in our home. Before leaving Philly, Jonny worked for Happy Tails of Philly as a sitter & walker for 8 years. I was formerly the GM and Boarding Coordinator for a chain of dog daycares in Philadelphia, working for them for 4 years-so it’s safe to say we are well versed with canines! I was a foster parent with City of Elderly Love in Philly and hope to foster again now that I’ve relocated to Vermont. All of our dog experience can guarantee that not only is your dog going to be safe and comfortable with us, but will have as much fun possible! Whether that’s playing fetch in the yard, going for a walk or lounging on the couch, we are happy as long as the dogs around us are! Since becoming a foster parents to seniors dogs years ago, we have gained much knowledge and experience with special needs and administering different types of medications. I have a part time job but Jonny will be home full time for the pups with separation anxiety. If you board with us, our place will be your dog’s home away from home. 💕 I’m currently working part time but Jonny is working from home so you never have to worry about your pup being left unattended in a new place! Dogs staying with us will never be left outside unattended and will always be leashed. We do have crates for crate trained dogs. All dogs we watch must be dog and cat friendly. We are currently staying with my parents and they have chickens on the property but they are separated by a fence.

“The pups loved Mayla! We were away for the week and Mayla stayed at our house to watch our two dogs. It’s hard being away from the fur babies but Mayla sent us pictures every day which made it easier. Our two dogs loved snuggling with her which made us feel so much better about leaving them knowing they were so comfortable with her.”

About: My parents bred our labs a couple of times when I was a kid, so puppies and dogs have always been in my life. In college I bought my own puppy and had her for a wonderful almost 10 years. She was my best friend and I talked to her and kissed her all of the time. She made me feel happy when my days were gray. Since then I’ve dog sat for multiple families and borrow my friends’ dogs to go for walks and adventures since I no longer have a pup of my own. I work three 12 hour shifts a week so I would love to spend my free days with dogs. I’ve watched my friends dogs even on work days because I work 7a-7 p so I can be there for breakfast and dinner. Most of the time I’ve stayed in their homes so that the dog feels most comfortable. I have no other pets in my home and your pup will get all the belly rubs and scratching they need. I love to go for walks and be active with the dogs (of course only if they’re capable)
