“Kasey did a great job with my two weener dogs, Oscar and Lucy. When I got home, they were quite chill and happy which is noteworthy given they have separation anxiety. Kelsey is a great communicator and kept me posted on their wellbeing while I was out of town. I'd highly recommend her!”

3. Anna W.
“Anna is a wonderful caregiver for pets! She treated my cat with so much love, going out of her way to spend as much time with her and recognize her needs. She also walked my friend’s dog for several weeks. During each walk she would spend extra time with their dog playing and bringing him to all of his favorite spots. She is super communicative and sent lots of photos. I would highly recommend Anna!”
4. Allie F.
“Allie was amazing with our dogs and extremely respectful of our space. She sent photos of our pooches which was appreciated when you really miss them, took them on walk, and really looked out for them. We plan to reach out next time we travel so she can watch our puppies again! Book her!”
5. Melissa H.
About: My family grew up with dogs and cats; the animals are treated as family. Pet sitting (and baby sitting) were part of the routine from early on. My Consulting work is done remotely, which makes my schedule flexible for Rover assignments, and, additionally leaves ample Time for getting out on the trails with tails. I enjoy being out-of-doors, and hope that some time outside is part of your furriends’ daily care plan. I believe in sticking to the schedule that clients have established with their animals for meals, toileting, play time and quiet rest.

About: 1.Introduction 2.Description of home 3. Brief overview of experience 4. Policies Hi, I'm Mary! 14 years ago, My pup Lee and I started the business of walking city streets, running, swimming, hiking, boarding friends, and house sitting; all in the name of dog! Since his passing, my twin four year olds and I are looking forward to making new pupper friends. We live in a beautiful home on an organic farm. This year marks the 14th year and third state in which I've tended to puppies, dogs and senior puppers. Since moving to Vermont 8 years ago, my home has been referred to as "farm camp." This is because: pups who are able to enjoy the farm experience off leash! While I enjoy tending to the greater dog population in its entirety, senior dogs, ones who take medications, those living with physical and developmental ailments and pups nearing end of life are my specialty. While the latest DSM may not have nature deficit disorder printed on its pages, I know it effects not only people but more importantly, dogs! I value and understand that exercise specifically in the wilderness provides a focused energy released followed by contentment. Starting in Providence, R.I., Lee and I took off walking city dogs. Over time, I curated two hiking packs of dogs. All off leash, good recall and, worked together navigating trails with minimal tiffs. Between my city walkers and packs, I began boarding. While I had my regulars, I wanted to offer support in other ways. Middle of the night emergency visits, families dealing with unforeseen events and parents who needed a break even though, their pup was nearing end of life. I've waited with dogs to board planes and have been at the airport to pick them up. Arranging wedding arrivals/departures and transport to/from vets. On several occasions, I've had the honor of being there for a pup's end of life. Since this is a new space for your pup, it's important that we stick to your in home structure as much as possible. This allows them to feel more comfortable and stress free. This means I will ask for a list of usual commands, eating times, toys, blankets and beds. If your pup has any quirks, I like to know! The more information, the better! When scheduling pick up and drop off times: if you're going to be late please kindly send a text update. I am extremely flexible with times! Not communicating information is a big issue and can lead to scheduling conflicts. For every 45 minutes that you're late and lack communication you will be charged an additional $10. My rate for overnight stays are based on a 24 hour period. If your drop off to pick up time goes over the 24 hour period, I charge a prorated amount to match the time difference. If your drop off to pick up time is less then 24 hours, it is a flat rate of $40. Thanks for reading and I look forward to speaking with you. I recently sold one of my businesses to focus on an endeavor I'm more passionate about, free Lance writing. I'm also enrolled in school first time. I only take senior, free range puppers. While your dog will NEVER be out of my sight, I only allow free rangers. If you have any concerns about your dogs recall, we are not the right family for you.

8. Meghan F.
“We asked Meghan to house sit our 3 dogs and she was great!! We did a meet and greet before and she came to the house with treats in her hand! The dogs absolutely loved her. She sent lots of pictures and made sure that we knew the dogs were well taken care of and not to worry about them!!”
9. kelly s.
“Our family was grateful to be able to leave our home and boxer mix rescue with Kelly - she was very thoughtful, organized, communicative and right away our dog was at ease with her. He was one happy pup while we were away with lots of walks and attention. She also cared for our home. We would definitely recommend Kelly to anyone seeking care for their pet/s!”
10. Karen W.
“Trustworthy and meticulous, Karen spent five days with my two big labs and gave them endless love and attention. Since we have no fence, she had to leash and walk the dogs a lot, and modify for the old limpy dog versus the young bouncy one. She left my house looking beautiful and even did the laundry! I want her back next time I'm going out of town.”
11. Justine M.
“My dog love’s Justine! She has watched her on multiple occasions and has always taken great care of her.I know I don’t have to worry about her when I am away and she will always be my go to anytime I go away.”

14. Melissa F.
“Melissa is one of the best! This was the first time that I left my 3 pups, and Melissa was so comforting to them while I was away. I have a pup that is very anxious and she warmed right up to Melissa. This was house sitting and the house was immaculate when I arrived home. Honestly, there arent enough words to express my appreciation. Thank youso much, Melissa! I will, without a doubt, have you sit for my pups again and again.”

19. Nathanial B.
“It is so wonderful to be able to trust someone like Nate with your fur babies and home. Nate stayed for 4 nights and four days to give round-the-clock cat care to my two cats. One was recovering from surgery and he took meticulous care of her, giving her medicine and love while I was away. He sent frequent pictures and was very tender and sweet with them. I highly recommend him and will be hiring him again ASAP.”
