Personalized care for your dog or cat - Reber
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Reber
“Nicholas was a great caretaker for our 9 year old dog. He has a great backyard which our dog loved and a warm family environment. Nicholas was very flexible with us as our plans changed and he is extremely easy to work with. Would highly recommend and we are going to rebook.”
“Sonya took care of our three pets this past week!! She is warm and super friendly and kind !! She did an amazing job taking care of our pets in addition to her pets and one other dog!! I found her honest and trustworthy and she sent us wonderful photos and messages to update their care. We highly recommend Sonya to take great care of your pets!!”
“Deborah did an amazing job with our two rowdy dogs. Both have their particularities, and idiosyncrasies and Deborah made sure that they were safe, well-cared for and fulfilled during their stay. She was easy to communicate with, responsive and answered all of our questions. Her property is really well set-up for dog guests, and very securely fenced (one of our dogs is a flight risk so I always double check!). I am so grateful to have connected with Deborah and will definitely be reaching out in the future!”
“Keelie had an awesome day with John! The backyard is perfect for any size dog but especially for larger dogs with lots of energy! He also sent me some photos during the day so I knew that she was living her best life. She hesitated when it was time to get in the car and leave. I was visiting VT from NC for an ailing family member and I am so grateful that John squeezed Keelie in to his "pack" at the very last minute and even allowed us to come over the night before for a meet & greet. Weather your visiting the area and don't want to leave your pet(s) alone at your hotel or local to the area, you would be hard-pressed to find a better caregiver :)”
“We can't thank Natalie & Patrick enough for the great care and love they showed Ziggy while they were watching him! They provided us with great updates throughout his stay with them. It was so nice to know that our pup was in great hands and having a great time. Their dog is also a great companion and Ziggy had a blast having a friend to hang out with during his stay!”
“Catherine and her husband are amazing! You can tell they really care about dogs and will work around your dogs needs. We got a bunch of pictures and they had so many fun adventures during that time.”
“Our small, active dog had a wonderful stay at Christina’s! (2 nights) She is very caring and watchful of the dogs in her care. Sweet grass yard, and dogs can go in and out as they please. She took the time to send photos every day, which gave us wonderful peace of mind that our little guy was doing well. We’ll book with Christina again!!”
“Rosan was OUTSTANDING. He provided great support, communication, and care for our dog. We felt at ease while away and never worried. We can’t recommend him enough.”
“JD and his family took excellent care of my two dogs, Dot and Tot. They were caring, meticulous about schedules, and communicative to me throughout the weekend. Their house is located next to a large park with a variety of hiking trails - an excellent location providing plenty of walking and exercise opportunities. I highly recommend them and will definitely use them again when I come back up!”
“Savannah was ready to jump in on short notice and our dog had a great weekend. She was very flexible about dropoff and pickup times, and from all outward indications our pooch was super happy.”
“Aiden was great with Lana. He sent photos of her, got out for walks and was very responsive to questions. She came back happy and healthy. Will for sure be reaching out again for Lana in the future.”
“Ruchi was amazing with Frida! This was my first time leaving Frida with a pet sitter, so I was a little nervous, but Ruchi made the whole experience so much easier. She was very patient with Frida, especially at the beginning when she was a little nervous and unsure about being in a new place. Ruchi kept me updated throughout her stay, and it was so nice to see Frida becoming more and more comfortable with her and her family. When I picked Frida up, she was happy to see me, but she was also clearly very happy and comfortable with Ruchi. She even went back to her almost as if she was saying thank you and goodbye, which made me feel really good about leaving her there. Ruchi and her family are truly dog lovers, and you can tell they are very knowledgeable and experienced with dogs. I felt like Frida was in very good hands. I would definitely book with Ruchi again and highly recommend her! ❤️🐾”
“The host and his wife are sweet and caring! Femi had a wonderful night with a lot of outdoor plays. I would come back again for sure and will recommend them to anyone who needs a great Rover host!!”
“Rachel was very responsive and sent plenty of photos. I could tell that Bandit seemed relaxed and happy with her and her dog. I appreciated all the photos and will definitely send Bandit again!”
“Hannah was so kind and sweet with Bowie. I can tell that she really loves animals. He had a wonderful time, and we felt great knowing that he was with someone that really made sure he felt safe and cared for.”
“Sarah was very communicative and sent lots of photos. I was also so glad my dog Nova was able to run around and play a bunch with their dog Roxy while I was away. Thanks again!”

“Ben did an amazing job I was in training for 5 days but then got stuck in travel hell with his Global Travel nightmare for an additional five days and Ben was able to extend his days. I'm so thankful”
“Karen was absolutely wonderful with my two cats. She stayed in my house with them for over a week during Christmas and New Years, was a great communicator, kept me updated with photos, and I felt very reassured leaving my pets with someone so responsible. Upon my return everything was tidy, the cats were well fed with extra food and water laid out, and litter boxes cleaned. It was a great experience and so wonderful having her take care of them while I was away so I could relax and enjoy my vacation worry free.”
“Erica dropped in to visit my cat, Abby, and she was great! She was prompt with sending pictures and updates and more importantly, Abby was happy and well taken care of when I got home. Thank you, Erica!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Reber
“I left my little dog with Christina for a few hours, and the experience was fantastic. Christina is very comfortable with dogs and engaged with mine immediately. She took excellent care of my dog, providing pictures and updates throughout the stay, and always responded promptly in our communications. I highly recommend Christina as a wonderful host.”
“My Inuka had a wonderful day - played with Echo and came home tired and happy. Jacob was so kind and accomodating when I dropped my baby off at 6AM. Really grateful for the warm care.”
“We wanted to spend a day in Burlington but knew our non-dog-loving-dog would have a hard time. Catherine and her husband really helped us out. Charley had a great time hanging out with her, playing with the toys she had, enjoying yummy treats, and going on a walk. I returned to a happy dog. She opened our eyes to what travel with a sometimes challenging dog can be. Yay!”
“We so appreciate the thoughtful care Tedi received with Rosan and Rhea. The photo updates Rhea sent are some of the most animated shots we have of Tedi's playful engagement with another dog.”
About: Dog-obsessed 27-year-old with a lifetime of experience. I grew up with five dogs and adopted my own rescue pup Callie a few years ago — so I know dogs, and I know what it's like to trust someone else with yours. I'll take your pup on sniff-led walks, set up treat scavenger hunts, send you tons of photos (if you want), and give your dog the best staycation ever while you're away. I'm home most of the day, I respond fast, and your dog will be treated like royalty. Active pup? I'm a runner and biker training for an Ironman — happy to take them on real adventures. Your dog will be treated like family, because dogs ARE the family. I have a very flexible schedule currently. My schedule on Rover is always up to date! I love to walk every day, and I’d much rather walk with a cute doggo! I live in a home in with a fenced in yard. I also have tons of space and dogs are always allowed on the furniture!!!
“Darian is awesome. She's dogsat Frida a bunch of times this winter, and she takes great care of her, takes her for walks, and feeds her when I'm out during meal times. She's communicative, on time, and always keeps me up to date on how the day is going, which is so great for peace of mind. Very happy and grateful that's she's able to watch Frida!”
“Zoraya took great care of Aila! Aila came home well exercised and tired from the day. Zoraya kept me updated on how Aila was doing and had quick response time. I will definitely be rebooking daycare!”
About: I've had pets my entire life. For over 40 years, I've raised puppies and kitties into well-behaved, loved members of my family. I have some experience giving medicine and training. I work from home 4 days of the work week and even on the day that I’m away, pets are never left alone for more than 5-6 hours a day, which is rare at that. I walk our dog daily and there is plenty of time to go out and play in a fenced yard multiples times during the day. As mentioned above, we lets our dogs get plenty of fresh air and exercise and they are rarely alone for long stretches at a time. If I'm taking care of a pet in their own home, those pets can get walks and regular visits based on their needs.
“John is more than amazing. He is so caring, loving and kind to our Pup. Milkyway is so happy when we leave him and the entire family makes pup feel at home. I knew the first time I met John and his family they were an excellent choice. They treat pup as if he is one of their very own furr babies. I highly recommend John. Don’t think twice, contact John for his services.”
“Hannah was so great with my puppy Tucker! She provided frequent updates w/pics, has the sweetest dog who got to play with him & now he is happily sound asleep after such a great day!”
“What a gem Chris is! Super kind and responsive and did a terrific job caring for our Yorkie for the day. His place is clean and our little guy felt comfortable right away. We will be sure to book him again the next time we’re in Burlington. Thanks Chris!”
“Louis & Haley put Archie at ease right away with their calm, welcoming manner. It was his first visit and I left him for 3.5 hours. He was calm and happy when I picked him up. I know he would be happy to go back and hang with them again.”
“Hannah was available last minute, and we really appreciate it. She was very communicative throughout the day. Tex gets a little too excited in new places, so I’m sure he was very high energy. He’s now resting well thanks to Hannah’s great care.”
“We had a very very last minute need for a dog sitter and we were so fortunate to find Pete and Alex. They communicated so well and were so pleasant and welcoming! Leo had the absolute best time and came home tired out!”
“Alma was very accommodating to our itinerary while we were on vacation. She took excellent care of our two Pomeranians. We’d definitely use her again to care for our dogs on our next ski trip.”
About: I've had dogs since I was born, have worked in shelters and keep raising my own puppy dog. I give dogs multiple walks and play with them. If necessary I take them hiking, play fetch outdoor and give them lots of love an attention. I will make your dog feel like family and help with any training that you're working on. I would love to have many digs but at the moment we can only afford one as we travel through occasionally. I work from home Monday through Friday so I am there 24/7 to support and hang out with your pet. We usually do at least a morning walk, lunch quick outing and afternoon longer walk. Our home has an unfenced yard. I will walk your pet on a leash through our trails. I will follow your pet’s schedule and they will be allowed in the open house including couch and bed if that is part of their lifestyle.

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Reber
About: I’ve loved animals my entire life and would love to be a companion for your pets! Young to senior, low to high energy I’m there! I also have experience with reactive dogs, as my girl Olive is still finding her confidence as a previous stray and working on her leash reactivity! I work full time as a registered nurse and have every Monday off and then every other week off. I’m pretty flexible! Let me know what you need! Although I can’t care for your pets in my home, I can offer dog-walking, drop in playtime/hangouts, enrichment games and even take your pup hiking if you’d like!
About: I have had pets my whole life. I currently have a small farm. I have chickens, ducks, turkies, pigs, dogs and cats. Alone with rabbits and guinea pigs. we are a very pet friendly area. Live in a wooded area on a dead end street. I currently work from home and have time for pet care. My youngest daughter is also in the home. Also have my granddaughter here on the weekends. she is 11. I will provide care in my home since I work from home this is the best for me at this time. I also have my 11 yr old granddaughter here on weekends.
About: My name is Melissa and I have taken care of animals since my first dog in second grade. I previously had a Labrador and Shih-Tzu who both lived until old age. I also fostered older dogs who could not find homes due to their age. I currently have a one year old yellow lab mix. He’s dog and cat friendly. In order to board your dog, your dog must be dog friendly. I also require a meet and greet to ensure it’s a good fit. Buddy is not neutered so unspayed females are not a good fit. I offer boarding in my home. I live in a second story apartment in an old building with a large yard. There is a picture of my apartment located within my pictures. I only board one animal at a time as it's a one bedroom apartment. It allows me to spend quality time with your pet! For boarding I do provide dishes and toys, but many animals prefer to have some of their own. I have open availability on weekends, however I work from home on weekdays and there may be times I need to be out of my home for up to three hours. I have a camera in my home and will be able to remotely check on your pet if I need to be away for work. I will always inform you prior to the booking if I have appointments out of the home. I am experienced feeding animals in a variety of ways and will follow your instructions on feeding and walking. I ensure animals are well cared for, played with, and that they receive the attention and care needed.
“Even though she had a busy schedule, Julia was able to accommodate my girls schedule for a walk (through some crazy weather too). Def would book Julia again to take care of my two senior girls.”

“Couldn’t imagine better care! I boarded my pup with Michele for a few days, and she was super communicative, flexible and kind. I could tell my pup felt comfortable with her right away. Would recommend her in a heartbeat!”
“Julia was AWESOME. In fact, I worried that our dog, Tucker, would end up preferring to stay with her rather than come home with us! She watched our very enthusiastic 1.5 year old golden retriever for the weekend, and took him on hikes, had him splashing in brooks and meeting goats. She was easy to get in touch with, accepted our last minute booking (including squeezing in a meet and greet prior) and sent great photos. 10/10 recommend!!”
