We were very comforted that our dog was so well cared for by them and would recommend them to anyone in need of a sitter.”
“My dog loves it when he gets to go stay with Samantha. When I pick him up he is always happy to see me but seems confused on why we can’t all just stay there. He is always excited to go back.”
“Michele was the perfect host for our goldendoodle while we were in the area for graduation weekend. Based on the photos she sent me, he appeared to enjoy looking at the wildlife out her windows, going for walks with her dog and stretching out on her sofa. Michele was very flexible about drop off and pickup times as well. A great experience for everyone!”
About: I have had small and big dogs in my home growing up and have loved them all! Regularly took care of friends and neighbors pets and am a future pet owner myself once I graduate college!! I work part time and am able to do check ins early morning and afternoons. Also love to stay active so always up for walk and even runs I have a very friendly golden at home and a great fully fenced baseball field nearby to let them off leash! Also a big house so plenty of room to move around.
“Greta is great! We couldn't have asked for a better person and situation to provide care for our girl Maddie. Maddie comes home happy and exhausted after playing with Ella and her friends. Thank you again and we will see you again soon!”
“I felt very comfortable, safe, and secure with my dog Tubbs in Abbie’s care. She has great communication, is kind and caring, and Tubbs was in the best mood when I picked him up (I’m not certain he wanted to leave!). Highly recommend, will definitely rebook!”
“Kevin and Inez took SUCH great care of my senior dog while we were visiting Woodstock. I am very nervous about leaving him with others as he usually comes everywhere with me and is older but they made sure to update me with tons of photos and videos. I could tell that Gatsby felt right at home and was very comfortable at their house and with their dogs. I would definitely use them recommend them to anyone looking for pet care in Vermont! Thank you!!!!”
“Hannah saved my wedding day!! Our scheduled dog sitter (not from Rover) cancelled on us two days before our out-of-state wedding, and Hannah not only filled in last minute, she might be our pups favorite person💖 She is incredibly warm, they took to her immediately, and we were so grateful 🙏 Got lots of photos of them just relaxing around her and were able to enjoy our wedding day stress free. Thanks so much, Hannah!!”
“Our pups recently had their second overnight with Meredith. She provides very honest feedback about their stays- the fact is, our pups would rather be with us than away from us. But we know they are safe and well cared for with Meredith. She is kind and consistent with them and we know they will settle in over time. We are very happy to have Meredith care for our dogs.”
“Jessica took good care of Bella! Bella was shy and nervous and but Jessica was sweet and patient with her. She communicated well and and was easy to make arrangements with! I would definitely have Bella stay with her again.”
“Gwynn is amazing. She paid attention to exactly the attention (exercise, etc.) that Martie needed and even sent us pictures of their adventures. Martie was exhausted when we got home!”
“Enzo can be a shy guy and a little nervous but Lauren did everything to make him feel comfortable including checking in with me, which I truly appreciate. He came home happy and tired and we would use Lauren again!”

“Dependable and pleasant! The drop ins were just what we needed with my timid cat. I was grateful to find someone close by that can feed my cat twice a day! I highly recommend Valerie!”
“Sarah was great and my kitty was very well looked after! She was very responsive and easy to communicate with. Would definitely book her again. I know my cat appreciated the company 😊”

About: I have volunteered at animal shelters in WA and worked alongside animal behavioralists to read canine and feline body language to gauge interests, anxiety, and pain levels. I love being able to help my client’s animals reach relaxation without being over stimulated. I’m versed in enrichment activities that alleviate stress and help the animals reconnect with their playful, trusting side! I love to make animals feel like they have a new trusted friend while their pet parents are away and to provide care that makes their owners feel like they're with family. I live near Hanover and have reliable transportation. I have no conflicting agenda items or holidays in the near future. I do gig work to help support my best friend going to Dartmouth and have a flexible, open schedule. I try my best to plan outings with pets when the weather is best for their paws and especially if the dog is a breed prone to heat or breathing issues. I have had animals all my life of various breeds, ages, temperament, and unique needs. I have knowledge and experience through my animal shelter work on what silent pain signals or distress can look like in dogs and cats. I've administered medications before but would prefer to let the animal get to know me before providing injections. My preference is to have a meet and greet with your pet(s) ahead of the scheduled outing so they may acclimate to me and to have a brief in-person discussion to go over the scope of the service you wish to see.
“Olivia did a great job looking after our cat. One time he was hiding, and she went back a bit later on the same day just to make sure he was fine - much appreciated! Great communication throughout the entire vacation. She even looked after our fish tanks as well. Everything was in perfect order when we came back.”
“Katherine took great care of our cat while we were away on vacation. She also helped with bringing in our mail and running our water during her visits due to extremely frigid winter temps. We are very grateful for her help!”
“Rainie spent extra time with my cat and took great care of him while I was away. Rainie even went beyond expectations and cleaned up my space after she left. I really appreciate her attention and care for Taz!”
“Julia is wonderful! She has been extremely thoughtful to our cat’s particular personality, habits, and behaviors as well as respectful to our household preferences on multiple occasions while we were away from home. She’s extremely responsive and even stepped up last minute after a death in the family that necessitated unexpected travel. She’s always ensured our cat is well cared for and extremely happy when we return home. I highly recommend her!”
About: My experience comes from caring for my own dogs and dog sitting big dogs for friends who don't want their pups to stay in their comfy familiar home while they are away. I've owned labs, huskies, shepherds and collies. Most recently I had two collies that have travelled with me around the world. Sadly both have passed recently So I'm without a dog of my own but love having them around. I am happy to meet new dogs of all ages and breeds. I love large dogs too but my place may be too small for some but I'm happy to meet up and see what works. I work from home a lot and am very flexible to drop in or take your pup(s) for a walk. I run most days and can have pups join if that's something they like. I am very cautious about dog handling and will follow your instructions. I will only care for dogs in my home after I've taken care of them at your home and I am familiar enough with the dog so that I am sure it will be ok in a new space and that I can accommodate its needs.
“Caitlin was prompt and attentive. I appreciated the daily photos. Max looked relaxed and content. It was great to have our senior kitty looked after in our home, since he doesn’t like to travel at all.”
“Armani was caring and thoughtful during the visits. My cats enjoyed her company and she even did dishes for me voluntarily. I was grateful that she was able to sit my cats during Christmas. Will book her again when I need sitting in the future”
“Margaret was perfect. She was very accommodating, easy to work with etc. It appears that our two cats liked her a lot and I think she liked them also. She sent several cute photos. She left the house very neat and clean. We were very lucky to find her on relatively short notice. We will certainly hire her again if our needs and her availability coincide in the future.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Hanover
“Sean did an amazing job watching my dog, Nala, while we were exploring the Quechee VT area. We had lunch at the Simon Pearce restaurant (no dogs allowed) and so I dropped Nala off at his lovely home and she had a great time. She even got to go swimming! I highly recommend Sean to anyone in or visiting the area. This can be especially helpful if you want dog free time at a nice restaurant or to go shopping in town.”
About: I have had dogs my whole life. I worked at a doggy day care facility for 5 years and gained a ton of experience with dogs of all sized and temperaments! We have had 10 foster dogs in recent years who have taught me a lot! My current dog keeps me very active and we love long walks, hikes and the beach! My schedule is currently wide open. My dog is my everything and yours will get the same love and care while with me! We do long walks when temperatures allow and brief outdoor breaks during the day to stay cool and get in some exercise! I live in an apartment that is very walkable and has many parks around! My dog is a great playmate for other female dogs, and does good with most boys as well. We love long walks on the many trails in the area and love to explore!
“Enzo loved his time at Joe’s for daycare. He came home super tired and played with the other pups quite a bit it seems. Lots of photos and info on his Rover card was awesome!”
About: Growing up, I have never been without a pet to come home to. I truly believe pets have the ability to alter someone’s life, and thus deserve the best care. I can assure you I will treat your pets with utmost care and love. I ran my own pet sitting business in high school, and am very comfortable with new dogs and cats. I am currently an M1 at Dartmouth med school. My schedule is quite flexible, just reach out for specific quests about your pet sitting needs. I live in a house with 5 other medical students so it’s difficult to host animals in my house but I am happy to stay in your home!
“Kevin watched our pug for two days while we attended the Quechee Balloon Festival. He was incredibly flexible with our plans and let us stay out much longer than originally planned. Our pup had a good time, evidenced by the 2nd day when we dropped him off and he ran right to Kevin! The other dogs were a bit noisy and inquisitive but settled right down so it wasn’t a problem. Kevin sent a few photos and video which we much appreciated. If we were in the area again, I wouldn’t hesitate to leave our dog with Kevin once again.”
About: I have been caring for unwanted and wayward animals for 30 years. All of our pets have been adopted as strays, from shelters or rehoming. Now, I bring these years of experience and love to your furry family members. With a team of of veterinary providers, groomers and emergency contacts in place, you can rest assured that your pets will receive the best possible attention and care. Because I much prefer to care for animals than greet customers at a WalMart, I joined Rover as my retirement job :) It's a great way to pursue my love for dogs and cats. l'm almost always available with a little notice. My home is open to your dog. Jump up on the couch, sleep on the bed, no problem unless you prefer a more structured environment and routine. Your dog will be one of the family here and will have company most all of the time. I also offer a very nice space for cats or for dogs that do not get along well with others. Not a cage or kennel but a finished 20x20 heated and furnished room in my barn loft where we can play and visit one on one.
“Sarah and Ben are terrific hosts! Cooper felt right at home, loved playing with their sweet dog Bean, and had plenty of room to roam in their big backyard. We hope to visit again soon. Highly recommend!”
“Our pup had the best time with Greta!! She came home super tired and happy :) Greta was great with communication and kept us updated with pictures and videos throughout the day. Will definitely book again!”
About: Growing up around a wide variety of animals has given me the skills and passion needed to be an attentive and responsible carer of all kinds of pets. I've owned several dogs, cats, rodents, and horses. I was responsible for administering medications, accommodating pets with special needs, becoming attuned to various behaviors and habits, and adhering to specific individualized training methods. I'm currently working full-time from home as a customer service rep for a small, local company and mothering my 2 year old toddler (who is very gentle and respectful around all animals). I'm fortunately very flexible with my schedule and can accommodate both last-minute and long-term schedules! Being a sincere animal lover, I'm always enthusiastically willing to tend to the needs of any pets that are under my care. I believe that both people and animals benefit from living in a clean and comfortable space, so I seek to maintain and accommodate that kind of positive atmosphere in your pet's home.
About: With over 10 years of experience in pet care and a love for animals, I bring a personal touch to every pet sitting or walking service. As a mom of two young kids (4 & 6), I understand the importance of reliable and compassionate care. Working remotely (in my full-time career) gives me the flexibility to step in and help whenever you need it, ensuring your furry family members are always in good hands! I look forward to hearing from you! Pet care is seamlessly woven into my daily routine. As a remote worker and mom of two, I have the flexibility to accommodate your pet’s needs throughout the day. Whether it's early morning walks, mid-day play sessions, or evening cuddle time, I ensure your pet receives the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. I provide a safe, nurturing environment for pets both in my home and yours. In my home, pets are treated as part of the family—enjoying cozy spaces, supervised playtime, and daily routines that include walks, meals, and lots of affection. For clients’ homes, I prioritize maintaining your pet’s regular schedule, ensuring they feel comfortable and secure. I offer personalized care, whether it’s playtime, administering medication, or simply providing companionship, all while keeping your pet’s safety and happiness as my top priority.
“Our pup had the best time at Althea’s!! She had so much fun playing with the other doggos and just running around all day :) Althea has an awesome set up with tons of space for the pups and she is so good with them! Definitely will be back!”
About: Our home has been a foster refuge since the 90's, I have had the privilege of assisting hundreds of pups and many cats find their loving homes. My experience with so many personalities and individual canines has given me the confidence to offer quality care for dogs in my area. I especially enjoy caring for senior dogs, and I can also support your type of positive training modification. I have been through many, many training classes with my dogs. I have 4 dogs that have earned their AKC Canine Good Citizen awards. Recently, my dog Willow, has received her AKC Farm Dog title. My dog Summer, has earned her CD -obedience- and her NDD, draft title, her Farm Dog Award, as well as many other AKC titles.With the fosters that have come to me, I have worked with MANY types of canines - all sorts of shenanigans...you bet!! I plan my day around walking the dogs, depending on your pets needs, the weather, and your schedule, my day is flexible. Pet care is my top priority I cannot have pets staying at my home at this time, but hopefully in the near future! Right now I am offering in home drop in visits only.

“Don’t hesitate to hire Abby! She’s the best! We hesitate to leave this 5 star review that she fully deserves because now she may become so busy that she’s unavailable to help us out ? Abby stopped by for a meet and greet, which completely eased our anxiety. She walked our dog all week and played with him. She logged photos and cute notes for each 30 minute visit and was punctual each day. We cannot thank her enough!”
“Jordan arrived on schedule and took my dog for a great one hour walk/run and sent me a note about their time together! I will definitely think of Jordan the next time I need doggy daycare or walking! Thanks Jordan!!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life and have taken care of them for family and friends as well. I will certainly give my undivided attention to any pet! I'm home for the summer from Boston University and I work at Lou's Restaurant and Bakery in Hanover a few days a week. Other than that, I'm free to fill my time with so many 4 legged friends. When caring for a pet in a client's home, I ensure the pet continues to feel comfortable in its home environment. I emphasize boundaries and rules while in clients' spaces and am able to follow specific instructions.
About: I have worked in veterinary medicine for over 6 years and have been a pet owner most of my life. I have had a hospice dog and have a soft spot for senior animals. I currently have a Siberian husky, a husky/shepard mix and 2 cats! I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to be available as needed. Animals are a significant part of my life and I look forward to helping you and your family. I am available for dog walks, drop ins, or pet sitting. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats as part of our family. They are definitely spoiled but also well trained. I take pet care very seriously, every animal deserves respectful and loving care. My dogs require a lot of activity due to their breeds which has given me a lot of experience with high energy, high needs dogs.
About: I’ve had a dog my whole life, in which I fed, walked, and looked after him. He passed last year and I’m not ready to get another one right now but would love to have dogs around. I absolutely love dogs and have taken care of friends and family dogs. I’m working part-time, 4 to 5 days a week. My schedule comes out 2 weeks in advance so I should have plenty of time to figure out when to look after or walk your pup! I will always keep an eye on your dog and follow all the guidelines you have, whether that’s letting them free in a fenced yard or keeping them on a leash outside.
“Great job by Alyssa with our dog. No communication issues. Sent pictures of the walk. She made everything very simple, and Charlie was happy when I got home. I would definitely have Alyssa take care of Charlie again any time.”
About: From Chihuahuas and Dachshunds, to German Shepards and Pit Bulls, I am no stranger to dogs of all shapes and sizes. Cats, guinea pigs, hermit crabs, I've cared for them all! No matter your pets needs, I am sure I can deliver. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a full-time job with a consistent Monday–Friday schedule, which allows me to plan reliably around pet care. I’m available for evening care after work, and full availability on weekends. I prioritize sticking to pets’ established routines and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care during the times I’m with them. I prioritize personalized care, whether that's providing regular exercise, meals, medication, grooming, etc. I ensure pets feel loved and secure through companionship and communication with owners, while also being prepared for emergencies.
About: Hi there! I am 30 and I live in Springfield, VT and work in WRJ. So my radius is quite large. I have a 6 year old golden pup (as seen in photos) named Burton and also take care of my in laws cat, Middy. I grew up in Vermont on a small farm with 3 dogs (Pitbull and labs) and 2 cats. I currently have a pup, Burton. Who gets along with all dogs and people. Depending on your pets personality, I will be sure to be active with them. Our pup Burton gets 4 walks a day and typically goes for a swim once a day at a nearby kayak launch. I fully believe pets should have a significant amount of play + active time whether its a walk or drop in visit, they will have fun. I do work in WRJ from 8-5pm but I do have lunches available and we do have flexible time. Typically at lunch or after work I will have time to give them a good active walk/run. I am a very active person and believe all pups should have an active lifestyle as well. I only do walks + drop ins, most of my care will be outside! Love hiking, long walks and running. I have experience with running a husky every other day for 2-3 miles due to the high energy.

About: Hi my name is Sean. I recently graduated from RIT with a BFA in illustration. I love all animals and currently have a lot of flexibility to care for your pets while I am working from home. I grew up with two labradoodles and I have also cared for friends' animals while they have been away. One of my dogs has Addison's disease, so I am familiar with giving medication to pets. Spending time with animals brings me joy and does not seem like work - I enjoy playing with your animals, going on walks and I give a great belly rub! I am extremely responsible and will love your animals like my own...you might also find some sketches of your pet when you return home. I am an artist that is currently working from home in Quechee. I am extremely flexible and am available during the week and on weekends. I make my own hours so can work around your schedule. I live with my parents and two friendly labradoodles ages 8 and 12. I could board a dog in my home if he/she gets along well with other dogs and is house-trained. I prefer to care for your animals in your own home: I can do drop-in visits, walks and daytime or overnight house-sitting.
