“Ruchi and her family are the best! My dog Maya spent her Easter weekend with her and her family and she absolutely loved it! They were amazing at communicating and updating me with photos , and Maya felt right at home! Thank you, we will definitely be booking again!”
“They are perfect sitter! They took care of my BamBam with so much love and kindness. Even though BamBam is a bit of a nervous dog, they already knew exactly how to handle him and make him comfortable.”
“Savannah was amazing!! She took care of my baby so well and was honestly just a genuine and kind person. You can tell she really loves animals and that’s what matters so much. My first time doing this with my cat and she made me feel so much better about leaving her. I highly recommend her to anyone, and especially if you are anxious about leaving your baby!”
“I cannot say enough great things about Charlene!! She was so kind and accommodating! She updated with pictures and communication. Lou can be a bit grumpy and doesn’t warm up to strangers very quickly but by night two with Charlene he was snuggling up with her! She is a true dog whisper with a very calming and welcoming demeanor!!! I would recommend her 100 times over!!!! We will 100% be coming back to her!! Lou loved her a ton and played well with her cute pup Scout!”
About: Hi! I'm Cinara! 👋 I’m an experienced caregiver with a deep love for animals. I have had the honor to care for pets across the lifespan having grown up with many furry, feathery-even scaley-companions. Its been a great joy as well to be a person who impacts animal lives via rescue/rehabilitation and, most recently through fostering at-risk cats. I feel confident in my ability to provide a therapeutic alliance built on patience and understanding with vulnerable animals. I have hands-on training experience and am comfortable reinforcing basic commands and routines in dogs and cats. I always tailor my visit with the specific needs of the pet, and of the caregiver. On walks- allowing an animal to engage each of their senses is the main goal of a walk, to me its all about enrichment. I let animals lead the way while also paying close attention to their behavior and body language, so I can better respond to their needs.I'm confident administering oral medications, managing specific diets, and maintaining steady routines to help minimize stress while you're away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and make time for. I build my schedule around giving animals the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddle time, I’m flexible and committed to showing up consistently for the pets I care for. I'm happy to work with your pet's routine to keep things comfortable and familiar for them. Let's talk! I take safety and comfort seriously. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and routines, and I make sure your pet feels secure by keeping things consistent and calm. I follow all instructions closely, from feeding and medication to preferred walking routes and house rules. Building trust with both you and your pet is my top priority.
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.
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-friendly if sitting happens in my home. Good with cats for in-your-home pet-sitting 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 (I have two dog-loving kids under age 5). 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 you have to work longer than usual, boarding/ dog sitting (again, ideally at my home since I have two little kids) I've always loved my pets as members of the family! 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 don't currently have any pets in our home. Our dogs were allowed on the couch, bed, anywhere, and I was usually curled right up with them, but I of course plan to follow any rules/ standard expectations that you have established for your pets and/or your home.
“I could not ask for a better Sitter, She always kept me updated, with Text, and pictures. She made me feel comfortable and reassured that my buddy (pup) would be in good hands. It was truly awesome all the way around, I highly recommend her as a sitter.”
“Pete and Alex took such good care of George. It’s very clear they are dog people, we had no hestitation leaving him in their care. George had a blast running around with Hank and looking for birds out in the yard. He can’t wait to return!”
About: As a dog owner myself I fully understand how important they are to your family. My husband & I have been in our “pet parents” era for 5 years now, so I’m sure you can only imagine how spoiled our Georgia girl is. When you hire me, you’re getting someone who’s going to treat your dog exactly as their own. I want to see their little wiggly butts & all of their cute tricks when they are in my care. I always offer a meet & greet so I can learn about their dislikes/likes , favorite toys and scratches & all of the cute things you love about them and or maybe naughty things they do before I take care of them so I can offer a safe & familiar environment! I have 10+ years of experience with drop ins, day care & dog walking. Rover has given me the opportunity to make new furry friends & to continue being active outside during all 4 of VT seasons. I work remote Monday through Friday and it gives me the flexibility to take breaks when needed to be present for your animals in your absence. I have a huge back yard where I live and a very sweet dog named Georgia that loves to cuddle & go for daily walks. We are a very pet friendly home. Dogs will be tucked in while sleeping.

“Kelly hosted my German shepherd Justin for a wonderful summer weekend in Burlington. They had such a good time exploring the UVM campus. She was also exceptional with communication. She’s my first choice for our next stay in Burlington.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Robinson
“I would highly recommend Dawn to take care of your fur baby; she cared for my rambunctious Goldendoodle as if he were her own. She is conveniently located in a quaint neighborhood that has limited traffic and no unleashed dogs; so, in addition to getting exercise in Dawn’s fenced in backyard, my puppy got exercise when Dawn walked around the neighborhood. After playing with toys supplied by Dawn, my dog cozied up to her dog for a nap. I was so hesitant to leave my precious baby with a complete stranger (he’s my first ever dog and I love him so much), but after meeting Dawn, I felt completely at ease entrusting her to take the greatest care of him. She definitely has a love of animals. Thank you, Dawn. Rusty ? and Kelly”
About: I have always been around dogs and other pets since I was a baby, and have always loved and cherished them. As an adult we have raised and taken care of three cats and dogs. While in the military for 10 years, I was responsible for taking care of many other pets, especially dogs, for other service members while they traveled or deployed. My dog Nigel and I tend to make fast friends with any other dogs we meet! I recently got out of the military, and moved back home to Vermont. I am currently not working, and will be working on online college courses from home for the foreseeable future. Therefore I have a very flexible schedule, and can make all the time necessary to keep any pets entertained and well taken care of! I have a very sweet four year old male English Cream Golden Retriever, named Nigel, who loves friends more than anything (other than treats) and will be my permanent doggie daycare assistant. We have a large 2.5 acre property that is partially fenced, with large yard space to run in, and wooded nature trails in the back for walks and lots of sniffs. We are also about 5 minutes away from a beautiful dog park and miles of nature trails that we try to go to every day.
“Even though Dolores is a timid dog, Jackie always makes her feel right at home! He always sends lots of photos and videos throughout the day and Dolores comes home happy :) as always, thanks Jackie!!”
About: Hello!! I have two furry babies of my own ( a lab and husky) and they both have unlimited energy! My husband and I are a very active couple. We have a large fenced in yard at our home! I love watching a variety of dogs ( small to large) and both of my dogs love to play with other dogs! For the dogs I have watched, I send daily photos and updates as needed. You’re dog would get the utmost attention here( nightly cuddles and daily activities) to reduce stress while traveling! If you have any questions or concerns you are welcome to ask! I make my own schedule and my husband works from home! He is always home to care for the needs of our dogs and yours! I always take the dogs out and for a walk in the morning and then feed them. My husband will take them out intermittently throughout the day as needed. Typically when I come home we will go for another walk
“Pete and Alex were so wonderful! They took great care of our 6-month-old puppy Juniper. She got lots of exercise with them and came home happy and tired! We would absolutely book with them again!”

“Chelsea has been an absolute godsend for our family. She has been watching our dog, Mouse, for over a year at this point. She has made dog care simple and stress free. Her availability is excellent, her communication is great, and she has never turned down a request to watch our pup. My wife and I have crazy schedules for work, so Chelsea has been incredibly flexible and accommodating. Our dog loves her, and we will continue to utilize her services for as long as she offers them”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was a toddler. I currently have an almost 1-year old big goofy catahoula leopard/pitbull mix. I routinely dog sit for extended family and I have fostered for a local dog rescue. One of my favorite activities is taking a dog for a nice neighborhood walk or an active hike. If your dog comes here for a stay, they are treated as a member of the family. They’re welcome to lounge on the couch and we even love to bring them on outings with us if your dog would enjoy it. I’m a full time mom so I have a fairly flexible schedule for adding in dog walks. If your dog is ok with kiddos joining, I can be even more accommodating. I currently have a puppy who could accompany me on walks or drop-ins if you think your dog could benefit from seeing a play buddy. If not, I can do some quality 1:1 time with your pooch.
About: Hello! Kindly read my entire profile before requesting a booking to ensure I will be a great fit for you and your pets :) My gentle approach to animal care helps anxious animals feel safe and comfortable while their parents are away. Please note, for house sitting in your home and boarding at my place, I work daytime hours, and will be out of the house for 6-7 hours at a time. Please make sure this works for you and your pup(s) before requesting my services. I would love to speak further with you over the phone to learn more about your pets and their daily routine :) I offer boarding at my home, which is a comfortable and spacious duplex in Saint Albans City that is set up for doggie comfort, with couches for snoozing, windows to look out, a big backyard, and a home-like experience. I offer adventure walks on Mondays! This is a 1-2 hour hike that can be booked on its own, or added on to boarding, if your pup loves to get out on the trails. I am more than happy to accommodate with longer or off-leash walks, extra cuddle time, allowing your pup to share my bed, or helping them to feel comfortable in whatever ways your pet needs.
About: I love animals and always want to be around them. I live alone at home and have 1 dog who gets along with other dogs. I grew up with 2 dogs and am very familiar with taking care of them. I also grew up with cats and love cats. I have been taking care of my friends’ dogs - one was a 17 year old dog with medications. So i am familiar with giving animals medicines. I can have pets stay over my place or I can stay over their places. Basically, I love all animals and will make sure they have fun and stay comfortable! I work part-time and am home most of time during the weekday. I work Mondays and some Wednesdays from 3:30-6pm and Tuesdays from 11:30am-4pm and am free on Fridays. One side of my home has fence. I live near beach and bike trail and Ethan Allen park. Plenty of places to take dogs out for walk.

“Brian and his wife Ruchi were amazing with my dog for her first round of daycare with them. My dog is not the easiest due to anxiety from her background. They were patient and caring - they let my dog be herself and get comfortable in a new space with new people. I really appreciated the attention and thoughtful questions so that all parties could have a positive experience. I would recommend Brian and Ruchi for anyone looking for care for their family.”
“Marissa did a wonderful job with our little Mazie. Would I recommend her? I definitely WOULD. Will I search out for her dog-sitting services in the future? I certainly WILL!”
“I was so pleased with Lydia taking care of my two young beagles. She is a very friendly, kind and professional lady. She took very good care of my beagles while I had day surgery. She sent me pictures and updates throughout the day to show how well they were doing. My pups came back happy and ready for a nap. I will be using her service again in the near future...soooo happy !!!”

About: I am an experienced dog owner. I have 2 special needs dogs at home that I love with all of my heart! I am especially experienced with blind dogs, puppies with a lot of energy, senior dogs, dogs with anxiety, and dogs with epilepsy. I would be a great boarding option for someone that has a dog who requires medication or extra attention or needs. My home is set up in a way that is ideal for dogs with vision or mobility issues. I am also experienced with dogs of all shapes and sizes. I grew up with animals and have had many job positions involving animals including being a vet-tech assistant and also being a petcare associate. I would also be a great choice for someone who needs a dog to be walked for longer than 30 minutes or a dog that would go on a short run. I am very knowledgable about dogs and other animals and would love the opportunity to meet your furry friend! If you are looking to board more than one dog, we can work something out price-wise! I am available to watch your pets virtually any day of the week! I should also mention that I have a lot of experience with other types of animals (especially reptiles and farm animals). If you are going away and need someone to stop in to care for any type of animal that you have I would be more than happy to help:) I will have a fenced in yard shortly! Our house is secluded and is on a private road. I would be able to walk your fur-child on a road with almost no cars! I also send A LOT of pictures of your fur-child throughout their stay with me to put you at ease.

About: I have a lot of experience working with animals and I love being around them. I have a full time job as a veterinary technician and have worked at an emergency clinic. I am willing to give medication to animals if needed. I have two big dogs and cats of my own. I am comfortable with a wide variety of animals from pocket pets to farm animals.

I am mostly available on my days off from work but I would be available other nights of the week to do drop in visits or be willing to have your animal stay with me. Please let me know if you have any questions. I am mostly available on my days off from work but I can also do drop in visits after I am finished with work if needed. I care for pets depending on your specific instructions.I will always maintain a safe environment that works best for your specific pet and their needs.
About: I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science with a canine concentration, where I trained dogs in obedience, agility, Therapy Dog skills, and Canine Good Citizen preparation. I also earned a Master’s degree in Animal Science with a focus on nutrition and welfare from Cornell University. Previously, I worked as a canine caretaker for the government. Currently, I am an Agriculture Specialist for the government, with the goal of being an agriculture handler, and I am an AKC-certified Canine Good Citizen evaluator. Throughout my career, I’ve worked and volunteered in a variety of animal care settings, including animal shelters, boarding facilities, dog walking services, barns, and emergency veterinary hospitals. These experiences have given me extensive hands-on experience with both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments—including seniors, rescues, and those with medical or behavioral needs. My dog care background includes structured training, physical and mental enrichment, medication administration, and supporting behavior modification programs. I understand that every dog has their own personality, history, and sensitivities, and I approach each one with patience, empathy, and a commitment to positive, individualized care. I also have a strong foundation in cat care. I currently have a rescued cat of my own, and have fostered a 6-week-old kitten, providing around-the-clock attention and support during critical development. In my time working in emergency vet hospitals, I regularly handled cats for exams, administered medications, and assisted vet techs with bloodwork and procedures. I’ve also cared for cats in shelters and boarding facilities, gaining experience in feline behavior, enrichment, and stress-reduction techniques. I’m passionate about providing the highest quality care and comfort to every animal I work with. When I have extra time, I continue to train dogs on the side and am currently pursuing certifications and volunteer work in animal response and search & rescue, with the goal of helping animals affected by natural disasters. Whether your pet is energetic or easygoing, highly trained or just learning, I’m here to ensure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. While my work schedule rotates, I work either 4pm-12am or 8am-4pm, so I will need to work around those hours. I have reliable transportation and am flexible in meeting your pet’s unique needs. I provide a calm, structured environment with plenty of mental and physical stimulation tailored to your pet’s needs. My home includes an unfenced backyard, so I always supervise outdoor time closely. I have an extra crate available for dogs who are crate-trained or need a secure resting space. Your pet will get bathroom breaks and walks before and after my work shifts, and as often as needed on my days off. I’m also happy to go on hikes or explore new areas with your pup—if you’re comfortable with that level of adventure! While I prefer dogs and cats that are good with other cats, I can keep them separated if needed. To stay in my home, they need to be crate trained, potty trained, and not bark excessively/have separation anxiety, as I live in an apartment complex. With a background in animal science and dog training, I can offer helpful training tips or reinforce your current routine. I approach every animal with care, patience, and respect for their individual personality and boundaries. Whether your pet needs structure, exercise, or just a cozy place to feel safe, I’ll make sure they’re cared for like family.
About: Hi! My name is Grace, and I’m a big time animal lover! I’ve had experience taking care of cats and dogs. I grew up with a cockapoo named Millie and a cat named Maggie and have always had a special connection to animals, dogs and cats in particular. I’m quite an active person, so I’ll be able to take your dog on a speed walk, but I’m also very patient if your dog prefers leisurely walks! I have Sundays and Mondays off of work, and I work the rest of the days so am not as available. Tuesday mornings before 10 am are available for me. I work a full-time 40 hr. a week job that is about an hour away from my house, so I’m only available to pet sit on days I have off, which are Sundays and Mondays. I am also available Tuesday mornings before 10 am I do not offer pet sitting in my own house, but in my client’s house I will make sure to follow the pet care instructions given to me to the T! I’m a very detail oriented person. I also love meeting new pets, and will make them feel as comfortable as possible by introducing myself slowly and in a friendly way.
About: I’ve been the go to dog and cat sitter for my family since I was 16. I worked at a doggy daycare/ boarding facility in college and interned at a wildcat sanctuary with lions, tigers, bobcats, cheetahs, hybrids, and domestics. I’ve also interned at multiple companion animal veterinarians and worked with many animals including deer, seals, turtles, and more. I love all animals and can’t wait to have my own. I am currently getting my masters and have classes Monday to Friday so I am only available for quick drop ins at certain times during the week. On weekends I am more flexible I do not offer my own home as I rent an apartment that does not allow pets. But in your home I will respect your home by locking up when I leave, ensuring your pet has access to water and whatever else they are allowed, and leaving things as they were left. I will make sure your pet feels safe with me by respecting any boundaries they set and have fun with them how they want to.

Whether it’s a brisk walk, some much-needed playtime, or a cozy companion while you're away, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m a 26 year old creative/entrepreneur focused on my growth but pet care is something I’ve always enjoyed, taken seriously, and do as a side hustle. My schedule is flexible, especially on holidays, and I’ll do everything I can to accommodate your pet’s needs and routine. I understand pets can get nervous when their humans are away.

If you ever have questions, I’m always just a message away! 🗓️ My hours are flexible!

Don't hesitate to reach out with the dates and times you need cause I'm sure I can fit your furry friend into my week! 🏡 Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I make sure they’re well exercised, fed, and relaxed — whether we’re out for a walk or just hanging out.

I will provide your pet with very good care and lots of fun times. My schedule is very full, so book early to ensure availability. I have a big Jeep for transportation to any appointments that your pet may need. I can no longer provide in my home care until further notice.
About: I’ve worked with dogs on and off for years but have had dogs all of my life. I have given played with big packs of pups and done solo play times as well. I have a flexible schedule that will let me have more availability for your fluffy friends to get out and play and exercise.

I do have two wonderful dogs who love to have play dates at puppy parks and go for long walks.
About: Aside from having a family dog for 15 years, I have house/pet-sitting experience working for family members and close friends since 2007. I have never met a pet I didn’t adore. I’m self-employed, which means very flexible hours. Weekends are not out of the question with notice. I always try to find ways to make scheduling work. I will make sure that your loving companions are safe, fed, walked (if applicable), loved and attended to for the entire duration of my visit.
About: As a dog mom of three, I understand how important routine, safety, and trust are when someone else is caring for your dog. I provide in-home sitting, walks, and drop-in visits. I’ve cared for both large and small breeds, as well as puppies and senior dogs. I’m comfortable administering medications if needed. My goal is to make sure both you and your dog feel completely at ease while you’re away. Since I work online from home, I can be with your pets throughout the day, giving them love, attention, walks, playtime, and everything they need. Occasionally, I step out for short house cleanings, but I would only be gone for a couple of hours at most. In your home, I make sure your pets are safe, cared for, and loved. I follow their routines, provide walks and playtime, and keep them happy and comfortable while you’re away.
“Kazmin was a life saver! She was so patient with our pandemic puppy on the first visit and by the second visit they were best buddies!! Kazmin sent loads of pictures from her visit and was timely each day that she came. We couldn’t be more thankful!”
About: I have been providing care for animals since I was 13. I have worked with and provided sitting and supervision for animals of all kinds big and small. Having animals of my own, I have come to see the extreme need for good honest sitters to care for your pets while you are away from home. As a nurse for over 33 years, I have also had the privilege of seeing first-hand the impact animals have on a person's life. I will not only take care of all your pet needs, I will assure you and your family will enjoy time away knowing your pets are safe and happy. My current experience has been working with all animals including pregnant mommas, newborns, adults, disability needs, and hospice. I currently am a foster mom and have provided a safe loving environment until they find their forever homes. I have devoted my life caring for pets and do this on a full-time basis to provide and dedicate every moment I have to your pets needs. My home has a fenced in yard, area in my home for privacy and rest, and more love than any one pet could need. I will also do overnights at your home so your pets can feel comfortable in their own environment.

Lou loved her a ton and played well with her cute pup Scout!”
About: Hi! I'm Cinara! 👋 I’m an experienced caregiver with a deep love for animals. I have had the honor to care for pets across the lifespan having grown up with many furry, feathery-even scaley-companions. Its been a great joy as well to be a person who impacts animal lives via rescue/rehabilitation and, most recently through fostering at-risk cats. I feel confident in my ability to provide a therapeutic alliance built on patience and understanding with vulnerable animals. I have hands-on training experience and am comfortable reinforcing basic commands and routines in dogs and cats. I always tailor my visit with the specific needs of the pet, and of the caregiver. On walks- allowing an animal to engage each of their senses is the main goal of a walk, to me its all about enrichment. I let animals lead the way while also paying close attention to their behavior and body language, so I can better respond to their needs.I'm confident administering oral medications, managing specific diets, and maintaining steady routines to help minimize stress while you're away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and make time for. I build my schedule around giving animals the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddle time, I’m flexible and committed to showing up consistently for the pets I care for. I'm happy to work with your pet's routine to keep things comfortable and familiar for them. Let's talk! I take safety and comfort seriously. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and routines, and I make sure your pet feels secure by keeping things consistent and calm. I follow all instructions closely, from feeding and medication to preferred walking routes and house rules. Building trust with both you and your pet is my top priority.
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.
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-friendly if sitting happens in my home. Good with cats for in-your-home pet-sitting 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 (I have two dog-loving kids under age 5). 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 you have to work longer than usual, boarding/ dog sitting (again, ideally at my home since I have two little kids) I've always loved my pets as members of the family! 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 don't currently have any pets in our home. Our dogs were allowed on the couch, bed, anywhere, and I was usually curled right up with them, but I of course plan to follow any rules/ standard expectations that you have established for your pets and/or your home.
“I could not ask for a better Sitter, She always kept me updated, with Text, and pictures. She made me feel comfortable and reassured that my buddy (pup) would be in good hands. It was truly awesome all the way around, I highly recommend her as a sitter.”
“Pete and Alex took such good care of George. It’s very clear they are dog people, we had no hestitation leaving him in their care. George had a blast running around with Hank and looking for birds out in the yard. He can’t wait to return!”
About: As a dog owner myself I fully understand how important they are to your family. My husband & I have been in our “pet parents” era for 5 years now, so I’m sure you can only imagine how spoiled our Georgia girl is. When you hire me, you’re getting someone who’s going to treat your dog exactly as their own. I want to see their little wiggly butts & all of their cute tricks when they are in my care. I always offer a meet & greet so I can learn about their dislikes/likes , favorite toys and scratches & all of the cute things you love about them and or maybe naughty things they do before I take care of them so I can offer a safe & familiar environment! I have 10+ years of experience with drop ins, day care & dog walking. Rover has given me the opportunity to make new furry friends & to continue being active outside during all 4 of VT seasons. I work remote Monday through Friday and it gives me the flexibility to take breaks when needed to be present for your animals in your absence. I have a huge back yard where I live and a very sweet dog named Georgia that loves to cuddle & go for daily walks. We are a very pet friendly home. Dogs will be tucked in while sleeping.
“Kelly hosted my German shepherd Justin for a wonderful summer weekend in Burlington. They had such a good time exploring the UVM campus. She was also exceptional with communication. She’s my first choice for our next stay in Burlington.”
