“Very satisfactory stay! Ross and Sarah cared for my big dog who had lots of separation anxiety, working with her and accommodating her fears. They were kind and understanding - and sent lots of photos to reassure me! I'll definitely use them again!”
“Anna was wonderful! She offered to have us over to meet with our dog Lola before she stayed there for our trip. All the dogs she has get along great and it was nice to see Lola have some playmates while we were gone. Anna sent pictures of Lola and kept us updated. I definitely will be using her again.”
“Sarah & Josiah took great care of my little fur ball! He was so happy in pics and when I picked him up. They were great at sending me daily updates & caring for his elderly needs. It gave me great peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. Thank you!!”
“My elderly dachshund loved cuddling with them, and I loved getting personalized text updates and pictures during time apart from my darling boy. Would def choose Scott and Ellen again. :)”
“Lakonka was theeee best sitter. From the meet and greet to the end of Phoebe’s stay, she was extremely professional, super friendly and easy to communicate with. I received pictures or a video every day which is truly appreciated when I’m away from my baby awhile. I highly recommend Lakonka for your fur baby’s needs. So much so, I’ve already coordinated the next time Phoebe will be in her care :)”
“From the minute Sunshine walked into Danielle’s home she was greeted with love. I was so happy to see how she immediately took to this new environment. She had that “this is gong to be fun” wag to her tail and expression on her cute face. Danielle provided pictures and Sunshine was full of Sunshine.”
“Joaquin took care of our Great Dane, Zeus while we were away for 4 days. This was our first time ever doing something like this. Joaquin took great care of our boy while we were away and sent pictures and message updates daily. He was responsive and communicative. Joaquin made us feel at ease. We will definitely be booking his services again and would recommend him to anyone else in need of the services that he provides.”
“Phoenix and Walter had their first stay with Ro last week for 6 days. She offered a nice meet and greet that allowed me to very feel comfortable leaving my pups with a complete stranger. Ro seems knowledgeable and compassionate about caring for animals and has a nice fenced in backyard for them to run and play. My pups didn't even seem excited to see me when I came to pick them up. Hoping to use her services again in the future.”
“Evie & Fritz were so amazing with Lola. They sent me photos throughout each day and gave me updates on how she was doing! She got to play with lots of other dogs who were in doggy daycare with them and snuggled up with them at night! I felt so good knowing my girl was being so loved and well cared for! You guys are the best!!”
“Amy and John took great care of Ziggy. They sent photos and updates daily and it looked like Ziggy was living his best life at a 5 star retreat, making new friends and keeping busy.”
“Lauren took excellent care of our sweet girl while we had to take a quick out of state trip. She was very patient with our change in travel plans/dates and extremely accommodating and responsive. Louise really seemed to enjoy her time there, running and playing with Lauren's dogs. Lauren sent pictures, gave Lou her familiar spaces with her crate and blankets and her mat she likes, and walked her around outside to let her get acclimated before she took her in to meet her dogs. She has lots of land with fenced areas so that everyone can play, and she clearly enjoys what she does. We will be repeat clients for sure.”
“Bronson, our 120lb fur baby, loves to stay with Britteny. She has watched him many times and each time we’re updated with pictures and daily activities. Britteny is always our first choice when Bronson needs a sitter.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I am a lifelong pet owner who truly understands that pets are family. I have owned both dogs and cats for most of my life and currently have two Basset Hounds, Cooper (10) and Charlie (5), giving me firsthand experience caring for dogs at different life stages. Because Cooper is a senior dog, I understand the extra patience, attention, and routine that older pets often need. I am comfortable following detailed care instructions, monitoring for changes in behavior, and ensuring pets receive the individualized care they deserve. I also have experience caring for pets for friends and family, so I understand the importance of communication and providing regular updates to give owners peace of mind while they're away. I pride myself on being dependable, attentive, and patient. Whether your pet enjoys walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My goal is to care for your pet the same way I care for my own, with kindness, care, and lots of love. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine and family life. I am a single mom to my active 14-year-old son, who shares my love for animals. We both enjoy spending time with pets, and caring for animals is something that is already a meaningful part of our everyday lives. I work full-time from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, but I have a one-hour lunch break from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM that allows me to check on pets, provide potty breaks, walks, feedings, or companionship during the day. After work, I am available in the evenings to provide additional care, walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is for pets to have a consistent routine and feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I currently care for my two Basset Hounds, Cooper and Charlie, and they are an important part of our family. I am committed to making sure every pet in my care receives the exercise, affection, companionship, and individual attention they need. In my home, my two Basset Hounds, Cooper and Charlie, have access to our fenced backyard through a doggy door, allowing them to go outside as needed throughout the day. They have a consistent routine that includes feeding, fresh water, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection and attention. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding according to their schedule, providing fresh water, taking them for walks or potty breaks, cleaning up after them, administering basic care as instructed, and spending quality time with them. I understand that pets are most comfortable when their routine remains consistent, and I will treat your pets and home with the same care and respect that I give my own.

“We love Lauren and we honestly would not survive without her help every week. She has great communication, is great with her scheduling/timing, and is the best with helping the pups get all their energy out, I also love that she always sends pictures them. They absolutely adore her!! I would definitely recommend her to anyone with fur babies!”
About: I was raised around cats and dogs since before I could walk, I absolutely adore animals however at the moment it unfortunately doesn’t make sense to get pets of my own. That’s why I love taking care of other people’s pets! Prior to making this account on Rover, I volunteered at an animal shelter and have dog sat/walked for friends and family and completely fell in love with this line of line of work. I’ll happily play fetch or take your dog on a hike. I’d love to brush out your cat’s coat and entertain them with toys. I have experience making frozen enrichment activities for the shelter dogs as well. I would love to meet your furry family and sincerely promise they will be cared for with the love and respect that family members deserve. I have a very flexible schedule, I’m practically going to be there when you need me with in reason of course. Just about anything in my life can be moved around to accommodate you if I have enough notice. Things always come up and life is unpredictable so as long as we are both understanding of that for each other all will be well. Give me your rule book for your pets and I will follow it. I love going on walking trails so if you felt comfortable with your dog leaving the home I’d be ecstatic to take them on an adventure. Like I’ve said before, your pets will be treated as my family. I will advocate for your animals and protect them in every way that I can.
“Lauren was great! Our dog absolutely loved her, and we can’t wait to book with her again soon. She is very sweet, and we know that our dog is in good hands with her while we are away.”
“Heidi was very professional and friendly. The cats took to her right away and got a lot of love and attention. All directions were followed and pictures were given with updates. Would book again!”
“Gretchen is phenomenal. You can tell that she genuinely cares about taking the best care of your pet. She is kind, personable, and an all around exceptional sitter. I will definitely be booking again!”
About: I am a happy cat mom myself but have always grown up around cats. My family has had cats since I was young and I have always been comfortable around them! Being a cat owner myself I am comfortable administering medicines and cleaning litter boxes, and understand the care a cat needs.
“I’m so happy I booked Jessica! She did a great job checking on my 6 month old puppy, who has lots of specific needs. You can tell she really loves dogs and goes the extra mile to make sure their needs are met and they’re feeling loved!”

“Thanks for taking care of Murdock for the weekend! I can tell he already wants to come back and hang out with the other pups. Looking forward to the next stay!”
“Tara has been incredible not only for Mr. Loki but for myself as well. He was excited to meet her even on our meet and greet before we started care and was immediately comfortable with her and her other dogs who are sweethearts as well. He’s been over there for a couple of weeks, but in that time, I’ve dropped him off and picked him up with the biggest smile on his face. She’s helped a lot with training as well since he’s my first dog I’ve had and he’s doing really well with that both at her home and at mine as I learn proper commands too. Communicates very thoroughly with me on how he was throughout the day, what he learned, and his overall behavior and she’s very attentive to care instructions. I couldn’t be happier with her care and honestly wish we found her earlier!”
About: We were raising dogs before we had children. Siberian Huskies, Akitas, rescue dogs, and Icelandic Sheepdogs. There have been dogs in our home for over 50 years. Our pets are a part of the family and greet us each day with a licky kiss on the chin. Our grandchildren love to play with Spensa when they visit. Pet care is intentional and a part of our daily routine. With the morning coffee comes the morning run around the back yard. With my breakfast is the dogs breakfast. If we go for a walk, so does the dog! We all just do life together as we can! We have a fenced yard allowing plenty of room to run and play. Our dog is very friendly and is very comfortable being around other dogs. She is current on all vacinations. Should you required you dog to be crated for any reason, we would be more than willing to comply to your requests.
About: I've been a passionate dog owner since I was 8 years old giving me well over two decades of hands-on experience with canine care and behavior. My background goes far beyond daily feeding and walks. I've personally assisted in delivering two litters of puppies, so I am comfortable with everything from whelping and newborn puppy care to handling unexpected situations with patience and confidence.

We have two super friendly Labrador Retrievers who love making new friends and playing host! Because I am home throughout the day, your dog will enjoy frequent leashed outdoor potty breaks, regular walks, structured playtime, and constant supervision. I closely follow all care instructions, sticking strictly to your pet's feeding and medication schedules to ensure a safe, smooth, and stress-free stay.

About: DISCLAIMER * As of 10/26/2024 * If i cannot meet you and your pets before the start of the booking, i will not accept the booking. This has become a safety issue for me. I will no longer be able to accept verbal verification that your pet will be fine with a stranger entering the home. (Exceptions are small puppies) I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10. My neighbor growing up had 4 cats, that I loved dearly! She was the first person who allowed me to watch her fur babies when she went on vacation! I've pet sat many times since then. Dogs big and small of all breeds from a little pug to a 100lb+ Rottweiler. I own a 85lb pit bull mix and a 10lb weenier dog. 🐶 They are my babies.💗 I can drop in anytime to check on your fur babies. Spend extra time with them. I do bathing, and walks also! If you need your fur babies to be crated, no problem! I will make sure their safety comes first. You can put your mind at ease knowing your pets will be taken care of! This is my full time job, I enjoy every second of it! So day or night I can always do a drop in visit or a walk! Your pets safety comes first! So during a meet and greet I will be going over a small list of questions to make sure I can take care of your fur baby to the best of my ability. With this I create a “pet profile” so when you need to rebook with me I’ve already got a reference to look back at. EXAMPLE; if your dog is good with other animals, or if there is a certain amount of food that needs to be given. These are just notes I make for myself, and so you can rest assured your fur baby is getting the best care!

“Summer did amazing with George for daycare! My little pup was very happy and tired out by the time I picked him up. Will definitely be rebooking with her! She even gave a little baggy with a sweet note and dog treats as a gift to us! As well as plenty of sweet pics of my baby George. We are very pleased with her services! I definitely recommend booking with her for whatever services you need.”
About: I’ve always loved animals and genuinely enjoy getting to know their different personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and pretty good at picking up on what a pet needs—whether that means getting some energy out on a walk, playing, or just hanging out and giving them some company. I’m also very dependable and will treat your pets and your home with the same care I’d want from someone watching mine. I’m happy to follow specific routines and instructions, and I’ll always keep you updated while you’re away! I am a full time online student at the moment so I am available all day everyday, with the exception of future appointments or meetings that will not take more than a few hours out of a day at a time. I am typically home watching over my own dogs at all hours of the day; I do work part time on the weekends though and am usually gone for 5-8 hours at a time onFridays-Sundays (depending on the week). I live in a very dog-friendly neighborhood which provides a standard sized tennis court, which we have basically turned into a play park for dogs! We all have contributed toys to leave at the tennis court and I LOVE brining my dog (and the doggie I am watching over) to the court to run freely for a while and play without worrying about other dogs or being on a leash. Because I have a larger dog (110 lbs; he is a gentle giant), I have a large crate and large bed as well! This will be great for any sized dog whether they are crate-trained or not :)

“Daysi has been walking my girls for a few weeks now. She is punctual, considerate, and very invested in the care of my dogs. I am very glad to have found her as their weekday dog walker and will not hesitate to hire her for other services in the future.”
About: have taken care of dogs, cats, and other animals for over 15 years. I love animals and would love to take care of your pets! I'm a Burlington native and have a flexible schedule!

About: I grew up on a farm with 5 dogs. When I moved to the US, I got my own puppy (a golden retriever), and I trained her myself. I foster dogs and cats from nearby shelters. I always make sure to follow instructions for a seamless transition for your animal! I have a dog myself. When my family and I got her, I signed a contract to take care of her myself. She is now almost 8 years old, always full of joy and in great health. I love to play with dogs, and get them tired and ready to take a nap! I am ready to clean after dogs if needed (in the house and outside), and take care of them no matter their needs. I want you and your pet to feel taken care of.
About: Customers will love that I love animals and they will be able to feel it! I have had many animals for long periods of my life. My Cagney ( a min pin) passed when she was 16. My Boo ( a black cat) passed also when she was 16. They were the best! My babies are always interesting - all their personalities make them all so different just like people, except that they love you unconditionally. They are always there no matter what! One of my all time favorites was a bulldog I used to pet sit. He was a funny slobbery clumsy little man. Sliming corners of my jeans and my shoes and running as hard as he could to me when I came thru the door and always ready to hang out and cuddle. Fun stuff!!!!! One customer had two cats that required lots of love visits! They loved to play and run all over when u visited. Mommy Suzanne loved pics so my son and I would get them playing and start taking pics. Sweet personalities. My weakness used to be taking in animals when I couldn't afford any more. I try not to do that now - instead I try to place strays that others bring me into other good homes. My brother took in one such cat that I took in as a rescue. Jazz brought him and my brothers wife a lot of happiness over the years! I am glad I took him in and that my brother added him to his household as a forever family!! The pics in my profile are: Thor the bulldog! Thor Thor bully Thor! Rocky the red min pin- big bark ! Little man!(he's older and whiter in this pic) Boomer is a good ole boy that my younger brother adopted. Just a super calm dog that you can only love. Mae Mae the cat - very RARE close encounter with her on my knee!!! #mustescapefromhumans The last one is good mix dog sitting in his front yard after I have taken him for a walk. His name is so different I can't remember how to say or spell it. Protective dog that I kept for my friend Val. Loves his regular walks. I currently work full time but work from home but and can work from your home if house sitting and/or visit when needed thruout the day(s). I follow your lead. Whatever you allow them to do i will allow and will restrict as you see fit. I go by your rules.
“Sarah Lauren is wonderful with my shepherds, she’s responsive and provides lots of updates during her visits which I appreciate. My dogs are very comfortable with her! She took a lot of time learning about them during our meet and greet and it is clear she really cares about animals! She goes above and beyond expectations. Thanks so much!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs & cats since I was kid and will care for your fur baby like they are my own! I’m an avid walker/runner and happy to help you and your pup in whatever way you need—drop in visits or walks. I have cared for senior pups before and am happy to care for your’s if that’s what you need! I’m a full time PhD student doing research from home with a flexible schedule. I’m hoping to help someone walk their dog or stop in to play with their cat from time to time or on a regular basis if we’re a good fit! Mornings & evenings are generally easiest for me to come by and go on walks, but I can be flexible midday depending on my schedule. I’m currently a Cat Mom who loves to have play & cuddle time when I’m not working (or even sometimes when I am). I don’t have a dog but would take them out regularly on my daily walks! I’m also happy to drop in and visit your pup—for playtime, snuggles, or just some companion time!
About: Current dog mom of 2 and love to care for all animals! I’ve always grown up with a dog in the home and I began my petsitting journey at age 13 when I began petsitting for my neighbors. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, hedgehogs, guinea pigs, hamsters, mice, and fish. I’ve cared for dogs with extra needs (blind, anxiety, behavioral issues, etc.) and am comfortable administering medicine. I’ve watched up to 6 dogs in one household and am comfortable if more are involved! I volunteered at my local animal shelter throughout college working to socialize cats and dogs to help find their forever home! I have a large fenced in yard and live close to walking trails. My dogs are very friendly and love to be social with other, well-behaved dogs! I currently work from home 3 days a week and can offer drop-in visits before 8am or after 5pm. I’m flexible to do one time drop ins or regular scheduled drop ins! In my home, I make sure to keep your pup in a normal routine while you are away. I’m respectful and want you to come home to pup(s) just how you left them!

“Very satisfactory stay! Ross and Sarah cared for my big dog who had lots of separation anxiety, working with her and accommodating her fears. They were kind and understanding - and sent lots of photos to reassure me! I'll definitely use them again!”
“Anna was wonderful! She offered to have us over to meet with our dog Lola before she stayed there for our trip. All the dogs she has get along great and it was nice to see Lola have some playmates while we were gone. Anna sent pictures of Lola and kept us updated. I definitely will be using her again.”
“My elderly dachshund loved cuddling with them, and I loved getting personalized text updates and pictures during time apart from my darling boy. Would def choose Scott and Ellen again. :)”
“Lakonka was theeee best sitter. From the meet and greet to the end of Phoebe’s stay, she was extremely professional, super friendly and easy to communicate with. I received pictures or a video every day which is truly appreciated when I’m away from my baby awhile. I highly recommend Lakonka for your fur baby’s needs. So much so, I’ve already coordinated the next time Phoebe will be in her care :)”
“Joaquin took care of our Great Dane, Zeus while we were away for 4 days. This was our first time ever doing something like this. Joaquin took great care of our boy while we were away and sent pictures and message updates daily. He was responsive and communicative. Joaquin made us feel at ease. We will definitely be booking his services again and would recommend him to anyone else in need of the services that he provides.”
“Phoenix and Walter had their first stay with Ro last week for 6 days. She offered a nice meet and greet that allowed me to very feel comfortable leaving my pups with a complete stranger. Ro seems knowledgeable and compassionate about caring for animals and has a nice fenced in backyard for them to run and play. My pups didn't even seem excited to see me when I came to pick them up. Hoping to use her services again in the future.”
“Evie & Fritz were so amazing with Lola. They sent me photos throughout each day and gave me updates on how she was doing! She got to play with lots of other dogs who were in doggy daycare with them and snuggled up with them at night! I felt so good knowing my girl was being so loved and well cared for! You guys are the best!!”
“Amy and John took great care of Ziggy. They sent photos and updates daily and it looked like Ziggy was living his best life at a 5 star retreat, making new friends and keeping busy.”
“Lauren took excellent care of our sweet girl while we had to take a quick out of state trip. She was very patient with our change in travel plans/dates and extremely accommodating and responsive. Louise really seemed to enjoy her time there, running and playing with Lauren's dogs. Lauren sent pictures, gave Lou her familiar spaces with her crate and blankets and her mat she likes, and walked her around outside to let her get acclimated before she took her in to meet her dogs. She has lots of land with fenced areas so that everyone can play, and she clearly enjoys what she does. We will be repeat clients for sure.”
“Bronson, our 120lb fur baby, loves to stay with Britteny. She has watched him many times and each time we’re updated with pictures and daily activities. Britteny is always our first choice when Bronson needs a sitter.”
“Isabel is the absolute best. She always takes such good care of our 2 senior pups and they seem to genuinely being at her house. She's also very good about sending photos and updates.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I am a lifelong pet owner who truly understands that pets are family. I have owned both dogs and cats for most of my life and currently have two Basset Hounds, Cooper (10) and Charlie (5), giving me firsthand experience caring for dogs at different life stages. Because Cooper is a senior dog, I understand the extra patience, attention, and routine that older pets often need. I am comfortable following detailed care instructions, monitoring for changes in behavior, and ensuring pets receive the individualized care they deserve. I also have experience caring for pets for friends and family, so I understand the importance of communication and providing regular updates to give owners peace of mind while they're away. I pride myself on being dependable, attentive, and patient. Whether your pet enjoys walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My goal is to care for your pet the same way I care for my own, with kindness, care, and lots of love. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine and family life. I am a single mom to my active 14-year-old son, who shares my love for animals. We both enjoy spending time with pets, and caring for animals is something that is already a meaningful part of our everyday lives. I work full-time from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, but I have a one-hour lunch break from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM that allows me to check on pets, provide potty breaks, walks, feedings, or companionship during the day. After work, I am available in the evenings to provide additional care, walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is for pets to have a consistent routine and feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I currently care for my two Basset Hounds, Cooper and Charlie, and they are an important part of our family. I am committed to making sure every pet in my care receives the exercise, affection, companionship, and individual attention they need. In my home, my two Basset Hounds, Cooper and Charlie, have access to our fenced backyard through a doggy door, allowing them to go outside as needed throughout the day. They have a consistent routine that includes feeding, fresh water, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection and attention. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding according to their schedule, providing fresh water, taking them for walks or potty breaks, cleaning up after them, administering basic care as instructed, and spending quality time with them. I understand that pets are most comfortable when their routine remains consistent, and I will treat your pets and home with the same care and respect that I give my own.
“I was worried about leaving Penny because she is very clingy, but she was fine! Vanessa took great care of her, and even allowed Penny to sleep with her. I’m not sure Penny wanted to come home. We will definitely leave Penny with Vanessa again.”
“Very accommodating and understanding with travel delays. Dogs looked healthy and happy. Best part was she provided a complementary dog wash for the boys . Definitely recommend.”
“Tina was amazing with our pups! She was incredibly communicative, both prompt in her responses before booking and went above and beyond in providing regular updates about how they were doing under her care. Thank you, Tina!”
