1. Stacie S.

“Stacie did an excellent job with Jenny- my beagle mix has developed separation anxiety after we were separated for more than 2 years. Stacie kept her busy with walks and car rides- lots of love and petting. Stacie knows and loves animals of all types, and works at our local humane society. I would hire her again in a hearbeat!”

“Cody is one of the finest young men I know. Polite, responsible and, most importantly to me, someone who has a deep and abiding love for dogs! He has looked after my three retrievers on multiple occasions and never once have I worried about their care. They look forward to seeing Cody the next time!”

About: I have the experience of being a vet tech, and behavior tech for 8 years. Medical issues are a breeze to me. I'm not afraid of any behavior challenges either. I'm here to support your furry friend. Or scales, wings, and hooves. I've worked on horse farms for 15 years, had the pleasure of caring for small barnyard animals for years as well as my own. Spiders -snakes- lizards I love them all.I've been fear free certified. I'm self motivated, kind, reliable. I have all the time in the world to drop in for walks, play times, medication times, stall cleaning, nose booping, feeding , or any other needs you and your pets have. I know how important reliability and trust are in this field. I know what a privilege it is, or sometimes even a last resort to be let into someone's home to care for their pets. I'm a great communicator and I will respect any house rules put in place. I won't leave you scrambling for a pet sitter or walker last minute, as I've had this happen to me many times.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better house & catsitter! She took amazing care of our cats, including administering their medicine with care and keeping them happy and relaxed. We came home to a spotless house and felt so grateful for their reliability and thoughtfulness throughout. Thank you again for another great stay!!!”


5. Dominique M.

“Excellent care was provided for my pets on a short notice, would definitely utilize her services again.”


6. Hannah C.
“Hannie is the best. She lets me sniff everything and explore. When I want to run, she runs with me and when I am the goodest girl, she gives me an extra scratch and a treat. We have the best conversations about the squirrels and the birds. She even teaches me how to jump over things, under things and goes in the water with me. When we go for a car ride to get to the best sniffing spot, she hooks me in just like my mom does. She also knows how to give the best scratches. When I'm a little cranky, she takes me home and we curl up for a nap. I know she likes my kisses and she even runs zoomies with me when I get excited! Hannie is the best and I get so excited to see her. She even cleans up after me and doesn't make a fuss!”




7. Danielle L.

“Danielle is a lovely spirit who truly loves dogs. Highly recommend her. Parker and Priscilla loved her, and I’m confident your pups will too!”


8. Elias V.
“Eli has cared for and walked both of my golden retrievers is very responsible, caring and attentive to each dogs needs . Eli has also walked my friends 2 dogs when she was away. Along with caring for my in-laws dogs while they were away.”


9. Ashley M.

“Ashley was fantastic with our two girls. It is hart to leave them especially since our one dog is on lots of medication, but Ashley managed all the meds flawlessly and took them both for multiple long walks. I highly recommend her!”


10. Ariana M.

“Ariana really came through for us when our usual sitter became unavailable at the last minute! Our dog and cat really seemed to like her and she kept the house neat and tidy during her stay. We really appreciated how much she kept in touch with us and shared photos of our happy critters. If the need arises, we will be happy to hire her again.”


11. Bailey O.
“Bailey is the best of the best! She has pet sit for me so many times including a 10 day visit when I was in another country. She’s always timely in her visits and stays with my cats to hang out instead of just feeding and leaving them. She goes above and beyond, making sure to check in and send pictures and videos with updates and it makes traveling so much easier! She is trustworthy and kind and really puts your mind at ease! I could not recommend her enough!”


12. Kaeleen F.
“Kaeleen took excellent care of our cat while we were away! She was very communicative and trustworthy and our kitty seemed very happy when we got home.”


13. Casandra B.

“Casandra was great with my cat Coco! Coco requires some medications to be given a couple times a day, and she was able to do that. She gave me updates on Coco throughout the week, and photos of Coco every day, and I came back from vacation to a healthy happy Coco!”


14. Lizzy P.
“Lizzy does an amazing job with animals. She has a love and respect for them as well. When she cares for our cats and dogs, we can be sure that they are appropriately fed, exercised and loved. Lizzy is the perfect caretaker for anyone who loves their pets and want someone responsible to care for them.”


15. Amelia L.
“Amelia is wonderful with my pets. She has always been attentive to their needs as well as my specific requests about their care, and is always extremely respectful, kind, and dedicated. I prefer Amelia to take care of my menagerie when I am away more than anyone else I have used in the last 10 years- both on or off of Rover.”

17. Morgan B.

“Morgan was everything we were looking and more! Kind, courteous, and clearly an animal lover at heart! We have two large, crazy dogs and she was confident yet gentle with them from the moment they greeted her at the door. Our 16 year old cat who doesn’t come out for many people warmed up to her quickly too. We wouldn't hesitate to have her come stay with our animals again!!”


18. Meghan D.
About: I was born an animal lover, starting with my love for horses I grew to fall in love with every creature I come in contact with. I've worked on farms from the age of 10 so I could get horse back riding lessons. Then worked my way to full time groom at a performance horse stable at the age of 16. At the age of 17 I started working as a part time kennel attendant at a veterinary hospital and moving up to a technician assistant, then vet tech. I have also been a full time pet groomer for 7 years. Helping to run a fantastic grooming salon that specializes in cats and medical/behavior issued animals that has strengthened my abilities and attention to details in caring for pets of all types and sizes! My daily schedule is currently wide open while i make my dream come true of building my very own grooming salon here in the mountains of Vermont. I have a fenced yard that your pups are free to roam in while being attended. They will also have the ability to play or socialize with my 3 dogs as long as they get along! If I stay at your home I will stick to any routine you have with your pets and treat them as my own. I am very active and love a good walk or hike in the woods.


19. K F.
About: I have lots of experience with animals of all kinds. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all kinds for friends & family since I was very young. I currently work full time during the week & have weekends off. This works perfect to allow me to give adequate potty breaks & lots of attention, with even extra time over the weekend. When caring for your pets in your home, I will aim to maintain the routine they know & are comfortable with. I appreciate information on what they are used to, to allow the experience to be as stress-free as possible for the pets.


20. Kimberly L.

“We needed to find a house/dog sitter for the weekend due to an unexpected situation and Kim was great. She responded quickly and was able to meet me and the pups same day. She was personable and I felt very comfortable leaving her to watch my home and pups. She was very communicative through the weekend, sent lots of pictures, and even left us a sweet welcome home gift and note. 10/10 would recommend and use again.”
