Personalized care for your dog or cat - Reber
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Reber
“Nicholas took great care of Ava. He was very personable and friendly and was communicative and easy-going especially around drop off and pick up details. Would use him again and highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Christina was amazing! Lots of photos, walks, playing outside. Our flight was delayed and she was very flexible and very agreeably kept our dog an extra day. She did all the changes on the website for us. She answered all communication right away. Will use again for sure!! THANK YOU Christina!”
“We were so happy to meet Tiffany and her family. The care Vera received was perfect especially considering that she is recovering from surgery and needed special attention. Tiffany's family and her pets were so nice for Vera to enjoy, and I think she misses them here at our quiet, one dog home. I have already asked to book Vera here again thanks to this experience.”
“Elfy had a wonderful stay with Natalie Patrick and their daughter. They are very welcoming and attentive. Good communication with photos. Their dog is very friendly.”
“Rosan took such great care of our two dogs, and they were very happy and relaxed when we picked them up. Rosan was so flexible about our drop off and pick up times, and sent us lots of photos and updates over the weekend. I can’t recommend Rosan and his family strongly enough! 🐾🐾”
“Catherine was an amazing pet sitter! Joey had a great time with her, and I loved receiving lots of photos and videos while I was away. I honestly think Joey enjoyed his time with her just as much as she enjoyed having him. Catherine was flexible, responded promptly to messages, and made the whole experience stress-free. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.”
“Our pup had a wonderful stay with Sonya! She enjoyed socializing with other doggy friends during her visit and she loved having an affectionate caretaker at her side. We were thrilled to receive daily updates and look forward to sending her back.”
About: I will provide a on-the-ready daycare/check-in service. Check in's will include play time engagement, spending time with them if they have been alone, walks, administer medicine if need be, and overall quality check in. I can provide these services at a moments notice with being local to Burlington, and can also provide these services over an extended period of time to suite your schedule. Daily check in's can last anywhere from 30 mins to one hour, depending on your needs. I work full time but my schedule is flexible. I have watched and cared for multiple family friends cats and dogs since my teens, as well as now helping colleagues watch their pets while traveling out of town. My experience ranges from the simple check in's; walks, playtime, feeding - to administering shots, ear spray, tic and flea medicine, etc. I currently work a hybrid schedule Mon-Thurs in office and half-day Fridays from home, moving back to full-day Friday's from home come fall. Even when in office, my schedule is flexible and I am out of work by 4pm, and can step out quick if need be throughout the day, making sudden pop-in visits easy for me. And making scheduled visits even easier. I live on a quieter street and my apartment is set back from the road, giving peace of mind when out on walks or in the yard. Crating is always an option if you are more comfortable and familiar with that.
“Savannah was wonderful! Our dog Eddie loved staying with her and she sent lots of updates and pictures. It was so nice having peace of mind that our pup was being well taken care of while we were away!”
“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!”
“Highly recommend! Laura was so accommodating with our crazy schedule, and her property is a dog’s paradise. Our pup loved romping around all weekend and was thoroughly tuckered out from his stay. Laura sent us pics to keep us updated and responded promptly to all messages. I’m sure our dog would be ecstatic to return to her place. Thank you!”
“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 :)”
“Ruchi provided a safe & loving home for our Cooper. She texted us everyday with updates & sweet pics and treated Cooper as part of her family. We would not hesitate to call her again - she is the best and loves dogs!!”
“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!!”
“This was our first time using Rover and my wife and I were a little uneasy about the service. However, as soon as we meet Alex and Pete, we knew they would take great care of our dog and they did. Our dog loved staying at Pete and Alex's place. Pete and Alex are very kind, caring, and loving dog sitters. They took wonderful care of our dog. Our dog also had a great time staying at their place and came home happy and tucker out from all the outdoors fun. We have a senior dog with a few health issues to pay attention to and Alex and Pete easily took care of our dogs needs. We fully recommend Pete and Alex and definitely ask them to watch our dog again. I think our dog had such a great time that he was a little disappointed to return to the city”
“Eric and his family were absolutely wonderful hosts and caregivers for our girl, Ellie! We received updates and pictures of Ellie, living her very best life while she was boarding with them. It set us so at ease while we enjoyed our wedding anniversary trip, knowing our pup was so cared for and loved on. Don’t look any further, Eric is the best!!”
“Louis and Haley are so kind, responsible, and clearly dog people! We appreciated the cute pictures and great care they took of our dog. Would definitely book with them 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”
“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!”
About: Relationship with animals has always been a passion of mine. I started grooming dogs with my grandmother at the age of 10, but was her assistant long before I earned the title. It brings me joy and fulfillment to care for pups and cats alike, while creating an environment where they (and you) can feel safe and earn my trust in the process. As a part time bartender at Pascolo Restaurant in Downtown Burlington, it would fit into my schedule to walk dogs in the morning, afternoon and early evening as well as weekends. There is a lot of freedom to work around your schedule :) In my home, I live off of Main Street in Vergennes and can provide safe walking around town as well as some of the trails near by. In your home, I am quick to adapt to whatever will make you most comfortable!
“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.”
“I recently hired Jess to take care of my Tommy while I was away, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the very beginning, Jess was professional, communicative, and clearly passionate about animals. During our meet-and-greet, Jess took the time to understand my pet’s routine and needs, which put my mind at ease. When I returned, my Tommy was happy and well-cared for, which is the best indicator of a great pet sitter. I highly recommend Jess to anyone looking for reliable and loving care for their furry family members!”

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.”
“Wonderful experience! We had never used Rover before and had to arrange care for Sadie at the last minute - Nicolas & family were quick to respond, took great care of our dog, and were so flexible around timing! Highly recommend!”
“Our dog had an amazing time at daycare with Jake and Echo! They sent us pictures every day to let us know how he was doing and his communication was fantastic. They were also super flexible and accommodating with our drop off and pickup schedule. By the end of the week our dog was so excited to go visit every day. Will absolutely be bringing him back in the future!”
“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.”
“Eva was able to accommodate us at such late notice, and went out of her way to pick my boy up because we were unable to get to her. Rowan came back tired and content and we will definitely be bringing Rowan back!”
“My first experience with Rover with John was unbelievably perfect. John sent pictures and videos, gave exercise to my puppy for two days of daycare, and both days Honey came back exhausted and happy! John’s family helped to keep an eye on Honey too, while the pups were a perfect match for her. I HIGHLY recommend john to anyone who needs help watching their dog!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Alma is caring, loving and attentive. She provided a safe space for our Sadie. We will not hesitate to book with Alma when visiting Burlington again. I highly recommend Alma.”
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.
“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!”
About: I am an enthusiastic and passionate sitter who will provide great care for your pets! I love being around and interacting with all different types of animals. Over the years I’ve pet sit for many different types of animals including dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, bunnies, rats, chickens and even a chameleon :). I volunteer at the humane society every weekend where I provide care for small animals and cats as well as walk dogs. I have a puppy named Ellie who my boyfriend and I rescued. She's adorable but she has all that puppy energy. I can wait to care for your animals and I hope to establish a relationship and spend quality time with each pet I watch or walk. I am a Cellular molecular and biomedical science PhD student at UVM. Currently I am working from home writing my thesis so I have a lot of flexibility with scheduling. I will not be offering boarding but will be happy to stay with your pets at your house so they can stay in an environment they are comfortable in.
About: Long story short: I have YEARS of experience and a deep love of all animals! I'm great with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities! Happy to walk them all! Must be kid and puppy friendly if sitting happens in my home. I am also great with cats for in-your-home pet-sitting or drop in visits! The Long Version: I've had dogs in my home since I was a kid. I also have experience with cats, as we had cats first when I was younger, and at one point had multiple cats in the home at once...and also had two cats and two dogs at one time. In college I volunteered at a local rescue and walked dogs of all sizes and personalities several days a week. I ended up adopting one of those dogs, and had her from the age of about 4, until her passing a couple years ago at around age 15. She was an absolute love, but she also could be very reactive on walks/ in public. She was extremely particular about which dogs she approved and even when she found one she'd be okay with, she often took quite a careful, long introduction to make it work. We went through behavioral training and made some progress, and I was able to take her on many adventures, even despite her still being a bit reactive. I learned a lot about dog behavior and socialization with her. Over the years we also rehab'd an ACL injury and recovery, and had to make life/ home/ meds modifications as she got older and needed some more senior dog TLC. I am happy to visit/ walk any dogs, behavioral "quirks" and all, as long as I know about their strengths, challenges, and how to support them, in advance. For boarding/ any care within my own home, I am only able to accept dogs that are excellent with young children and puppies. I have two dog-loving kids under age 5, and we have a super sweet lab puppy, so she is currently small, but growing fast! I'm a teacher, so my schedule varies based on the time of year! During the school year: I can do weekend walks, or dog sitting, ideally at my home, through the weekend. During the summer months: My schedule is flexible! I'm happy to do quick potty breaks for pups during the day, regular walks, filling in for random days if you have to work longer than usual, boarding/ dog sitting (again, ideally at my home since I have two little kids and my own puppy). I've always loved my pets as members of the family and I will give your pet all the love and care that I'd give my own! I am happy to follow any pre-established expectations and appreciate knowing anything that's going to help make my time with your pet as comfortable and fun for them as possible in your absence. I also love capturing adorable pictures of animals lounging, playing, etc. so I will definitely send pics during / after my visit if you want them! We allow our puppy on furniture, but I will of course follow any rules/ standard expectations that you have established for your pets and/or your home.
“Jackie is so kind and very communicative. She took care of my Chihuahua for one full day and sent pictures to show how things were going. I highly recommend her for the dog daycare! My dog was happy.”

Focused on safety, comfort, and personalized attention to ensure every dog feels secure and happy
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.

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.
