“Finn was safe and happy with Jackie, so we were able to relax and enjoy our vacation. She followed all our instructions for him, and was wonderful about sending us photos and videos every day. We recommend her, for sure!”
“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.”
“Thank you, John, for your great care of Gaia. John was communicative, responsive and sent multiple pictures per day which my partner and I appreciated. I also appreciated John having us visit his home before his caring for her so she could build a sense of familiarity. We will definitely use John’s services again and am so appreciative of the care he provided for our fury family member.”
“Laura is a great host. Very responsive to our request and great communication throughout. She has a fantastic location for dogs and her dog is very friendly. Our first booking with DogVacay and couldn't have gone any better. Thanks Laura!”
“Natalie and Patrick took wonderful care of Bert as always. I really appreciate their frequent updates and pictures. He came home a very tired and very happy boy :) He is already looking forward to his next stay.”
“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”
“Eva was amazing! She was incredibly quick to respond, very helpful and clear in all of our interactions, and most importantly, Daisy was very well cared for. I could tell she received lots of attention, love, and care while I was away. I'll be certain to first check with Eva whenever I'll be out of town again. Thanks so much!”
About: Hello! My name is Steph and I have been living in Vermont for about 10 years now. I am a young professional who loves animals end enjoy helping others in caring for their pups! I own a mini Australian Shepherd named Oakley who is 6 years old. He joins me on most of my adventures that include running, biking hiking, paddleboarding, snowboarding, and overall just be outside. Spending time in the area I know great spots for pet adventures. I have been dog walking for 8+ years with dogs of all ages & sizes. I am capable of continuing training plans, giving medications, and any other pet needs. Please don't hesitate if you have any questions. I aim to provide the best services possible & I look forward to getting to know you and your fur babies! I have a very flexible schedule over this summer and can provide daily pet care walks and services. I am also home most of the day. I currently live in a town house that has multiple floors & an open floor plan. I do not currently have a fenced in back yard however I live in a quiet neighborhood that’s perfect for walks and have nearby access to multiple trail networks.
“Second time using Brooke and will use her again as often as I can. She's fantastic. Smooth pickup/drop-off, great communication, and just makes everything easy. On top of that, my pup has a great time hanging with her dog Bailey and going on long daily walks. She brought me back a tired and happy pup! Thanks Brooke!”
“Simply amazing! Rushi sent cute photos and updates to put my mind at ease - Alan had a blast with her family and sweet little toddler. They took him on walks, gave lots of love and kept me updated throughout :)”
“Excellent care provided! Received pictures and updates every morning and night. Asked questions about Ava’s care, clearly showing his care and attention. Very accessible and communicative Will most definitely use again!”
“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!”
“My experience with Sonya was wonderful. We were getting ready to leave on a trip and one of our cats was feeling less than great (after consuming an very unappetizing mouse) Rather than having them stay at home (they are outdoor cats), I made a Rover booking with Sonya the day before we were scheduled to fly out. She was amazing and gave us updates all along the way. So, instead of being away and worried, I knew both cats had Sonya to provide some love and TLC. I will absolutely be using her services again when we travel.”
“We recently went on an overseas trip and needed somewhere for our pup to stay. We definitely didn't want to board him at a kennel/doggie daycare, so reached out to Eric. I can't put into words how happy we were with Eric & his family for how they took care of Jerome. Frequent photos and updates allowed us to enjoy our trip while knowing that Jerome was being treated as part of their family. Well definitely be reaching out to Eric again if/when we need a place for Jerome to stay. Would rate 10 stars if we could, such a great experience (for us and Jerome) :)”

“Avery was consistent and went above and beyond what I expected when I booked her services. I was thinking she would show up, feed me cats, and leave. Instead she spent a little time with them and gave them attention. It was definitely appreciated. I would absolutely book with her again.”
“Had Benjamin check in on my 1 year old cat Ash while I was away for the holidays. He was great with communication and kept me up to date on when he’d be checking on him. Ash, who is usually a very shy little guy, quickly warmed up to him and even got some play time in. Would definitely recommend Benjamin and will keep him in mind for the future!”
About: I've been a cat sitter for my neighbors and friends for many years. From the occasional walk and medication distribution to play time and litter scooping I've gained valuable experience in caring for felines. Outside of taking care of other peoples cats, I have two of my own; both of which, I found outside as young kittens and had to bottle feed. Whether you need someone to deep clean your cat's litter box or spend a few extra minutes with them during playtime -- I'm your person!
“Michele is sweet and attentive to detail. I felt super comfortable leaving my kitties in her care. The pictures she sent showed that they were relaxed and happy with her around. I'd love to have her back!”
“Naomi cared for my kitty while I was out of town for a week. I left with confidence that he was in good, caring, and capable hands. Communication and attention to details was excellent. I highly recommend Naomi should you need a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
“We appreciate Barbara so much! She was on time, cared for both of our cats as requested, sent lots of pictures and an update each day, and gave them lots of needed pets and attention. We look forward to having her pet sit again the next time we go out of town!”
“Felipe was phenomenal to work with. Quick replies, friendly demeanor. He cheerfully took care of a mess that really wasn't anticipated or typical. Photos every day and healthy happy cats when I returned!”
“Hannah helped watch our cat while we were away. She did a great job letting us know how our cat was doing and was communicative. We came home to clean litter boxes and a well fed cat.”
About: I have rescued cats who I have had to have immense patience with. I have senior cats that i have to medicate daily. I have always gotten along extremely well with cats. I have two myself
“We were very happy to have Jaime take care of our cat while we were away. Our cat is always slow to warm up to strangers and Jaime clearly went out of her way to be friend. We really appreciated the photos and informative report.”
“Hailey did a great job with our two cats. Loved seeing the photos and having the little updates every day, and both cats were healthy and happy when we returned. Would definitely recommend!!”
“It's such a comfort to know that our 2 kitties look forward to seeing Brooke! Makes taking a trip much less guilt-inducing! :). She does a great job of feeding them and cleaning up after them, and we love the pictures she sends!”
About: I’ve been around cats my whole life and understand each has a unique personality and routine. Four years professional grooming, three years helping cat owners with nutrition and product guidance at a pet store, plus humane society volunteer work. I keep litter boxes clean, follow routines, and provide basic medication support like eye drops. My goal is to keep your cat feeling safe and comfortable while you’re away.
About: I grew up with multiple cats in my home and did cat sitting for many of my friends and neighbors when they needed it. I haven't had cats in a while because my husband is allergic, but I still love them! I'm pretty good at reading cats to know when they want some attention and when they need their space.
“Hayley arrived at about the same time every day to feed Malone and play with him. She sent several pictures every day to give us peace of mind that he was doing ok. We would definitely book her again!”
About: I have owned and cared for cats my entire life. I am familiar with their daily care as well as administering medications. I am very comfortable doing what is needed to make sure your fur babies are happy and safe!

“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!”
“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!”
“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!!”
“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!”
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.
“The best! As always. Maple is shy and very attached and Rosan updated me with pictures and has continued to make Maple feel at home. Above and beyond every time! Thank you Rosan!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
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.
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.
“Chad has been taking care of Aspen since she was about 4 or 5 months old. He has worked with her and myself on her reactivity and meeting other dogs and strangers. I believe he saved my dog and I. I wouldn't trust anyone else with her. I followed him to Rover from the daycare he essentially started and was forced to shut down. And I will follow him when he starts his own. He is trustworthy, reliable, kind, compassionate and SO intelligent and well educated on dog behavior and body language. Aspen loves her days with Chad and she is wiped out until the next day!”
About: As a lifelong dog owner, animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve owned four Labrador Retrievers over the years and currently have one lovable lab, Ellie Bear, who absolutely loves making new furry friends. My experience goes far beyond basic pet care — my first dog, Nala, had a litter of 8 puppies, giving me hands-on experience with canine pregnancy, birthing, newborn puppy care, feeding schedules, socialization, and raising puppies in a safe, loving environment. I understand the importance of patience, routine, exercise, affection, and making pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. Whether your pup loves playtime, cuddles, or simply having companionship, I treat every dog like family. 🐾 🐾 Availability & Care Schedule 🐾 Your pup will never be left alone — someone will always be home 24/7, whether it’s myself, Pep, or Kevin. We provide a safe, loving, family-style environment where dogs receive constant attention, care, and companionship. Each day includes: • Plenty of playtime and exercise • Snuggles, affection, and personalized attention • Potty breaks and outdoor time • A cozy, stress-free environment where your dog is treated like family 🐻🐾 I am currently available for: • Weekend boarding • Extended stays when needed • Flexible scheduling depending on availability My goal is to make every pup feel comfortable, loved, and right at home while you’re away! Your pup’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. We provide a loving, family-style environment where dogs are treated like one of our own. We have a large fenced-in yard perfect for running, playing, fetch, and getting lots of energy out safely. Our chocolate lab, Ellie Bear, absolutely loves making new friends, chasing tennis balls, and cooling down afterward in the pet pool on warmer days! 🐻💦 For boarding stays, I can easily accommodate your dog’s sleeping preferences. If your pup is crate trained, I’m happy to crate them when needed, or they can relax in a cozy dog bed for bedtime. And if your dog is used to extra snuggles and sleeping close to their humans, we don’t mind cuddles in bed either — we want them to feel as comfortable and at home as possible. Most importantly, your dog will never be left alone. Someone will always be home 24/7 — whether it’s myself, or Kevin — so your pup will always have supervision, companionship, love, and care.
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.
“Max my pug had the best day ever! Christina updated me regularly during his stay. I could see he was very well taken care of and comfortable with her dogs and the house. She even talked to me about checking his hearing which confirmed what i had been recognizing myself. Max says next time he is in need of a dog sitter Christina is his choice:)”
“I highly recommend Katie! Very easygoing and I felt comfortable leaving my Chewbear with her. She was flexible with my time period and I did not feel rushed. If I had more energy I would have done more. Katie was very responsive to my texts and I even got a "report card" letting me know more about his time there. So nice to have peace of mind for your animal with severe separation anxiety. She is a godsend. Would definitely let Chewy visit again. Thank you Katie!”
“Dereck was lovely with Stella! He was calm and welcoming to her on her first visit. It was a chilly day and he had even put out a cozy bed for her in front of the fireplace. She clearly had a great time. Thanks Dereck!!”

About: I’ve been taking care of all sorts of animals since I was young. Walking, training and feeding dogs… scooping litter boxes, feeding and playing with cats… almost anything you can imagine when it comes to pet care! I’ve handled young puppies all the way to senior dogs (and kittens to cats as well). I’ve learned how to potty train and administer medication to the pets who need it. I’m currently looking for some extra work to save up for a place of my own. At the moment, I work morning shifts (5-12). Im looking for afternoon or overnight shifts! This could include walking, feeding, or a play and potty break! Pets in my house are treated with the most love and care I can provide. Lots of playtime and sometimes naps when both needed. I’m confident in my ability to handle anything needed from my clients and to take care of your animals as if they were my own. While your pets are in my care, they will be the center of my attention, and will get lots of walks and playtime, and for senior dogs, lots of belly rubs.
“Fantastic! Good communication, showed up on time and very friendly. Gave my pup just the kind of exercise I was asking for and then some. Exceeded expectations and will definitely be reaching out again.”

About: If you need help with your pets, but don't want to leave them in just anyone's care, let me introduce myself. Hello, my name is Naomi! I am a veterinary technician who is looking to add some critters to my schedule. I grew up with a variety of pets and next door to my uncle’s dairy farm. I began pet sitting as a teenager and went on to pursue a degree in veterinary technology starting my senior year of high school. During my years as a certified veterinary technician, I have worked with a multitude of animals; from dogs and cats to hawks and racoons. I like to have fun and goof around with your pet but also love to spend time relaxing and cuddling. I provide regular photo updates and communications. I will let you know that I have arrived shortly after I have taken care of your pet’s immediate needs such as going potty, and I always send a closing message after a pet sit. (***Please note that this account was originally made for Hannah (Gracie) and I to pet sit together. Currently, it is rare that Gracie will join me for pet sitting, but not impossible. If your dates coincide with dates that Gracie is able to assist me in pet sitting, you will have chance to meet her either at an initial meet and greet or virtually to ensure that you are comfortable with both of us. She is amazing! She just isn't as free as she used to be). I typically work 10-hour shifts, 3-4 days per week This makes me available to spend time with your pet in the mornings and in the evenings on those days. On days off, I would be available for more of the day. Services: - Pet sitting (overnight care) - Drop in visits - Walks - CAT nail trims - $40/cat - DOG anal gland expressions - $51/dog If you are just looking for a nail trim or anal gland expression, please request this as a drop in visit and state what service you are looking for, and I will adjust the pricing accordingly. If you are already booking another service and/or have multiple pets, each additional cat nail trim or dog anal gland expression will be $10 off. I am currently available for walks and drop in visits multiple times throughout the day on Mondays and Wednesdays. Once in the morning and once in the evening on Fridays. And once in the evening Tuesdays and Thursdays. Please request the link to see my google doc calendar for my specific availability. The amount of time spent with each pet depends on my work schedule. Dogs will get at least one walk per workday with other outside time as well. On off days I will have more time to go on long walks or multiple walks. Plenty of cuddle and playtime always! I truly love spending time with animals; they will get plenty of attention in my care. I can also give medications to dogs and cats, and other care as needed. We can discuss your pet's specific needs prior to pet sitting and hopefully it is something that I can accommodate. I always try to keep their routine pretty similar to normal. I will send you a link to a questionnaire to help ensure of this!
About: I have a great amount of experience with animals. I have cared for Bunnies,Rats, Birds, Reptiles, Cats and dogs as well. I’m familiar with treating senior dogs and cats. As well as younger animals. I’ve had animals my entire life. Starting May 15th. I will have a flexible availability. I would fit pet sitting into my daily/ weekly routine but ensuring all animals are fed and have water. I will give them some play time. If walks are needed I will ensure I arrive earlier to give any dogs walks. I have two cats. Athena and Vixen Both girls are on a strict routine. They get fed wet food twice a day and dry food once. Their wet food includes multivitamins, probiotics and allergy medications. Both cats have separate diets that best suit their needs. I ensure all things for them are done before starting my day. e.i Litterboxes, water refills, medications, food and play time. Upon arriving home I greet them and play for about 30min-1hr.
About: I bring a diverse background to pet care, including hands on grooming experience, years of working at a daycare and boarding facility with dogs of all sizes & ages, volunteer work, and food nutrition from my years in pet retail.

“Josh is incredibly reaponsive. He has a calm confident manner and the dogs took to him immediately. We are so happy to have connected with him for our weekly dog walking needs!”
About: Hello! My name is Jenal, and I have 30 years of experience. I have grown up with breeds such as German Shepherds, Huskies, Retrievers, and Labs. Currently, I have a lovable Labradoodle and a dog that is an unknown mix, both of which are lovable and playful. Although I work during the day, I'd like to play with your dog throughout the day, at night, during the week, and on the weekends. I am looking to help with your dog while you are at work, on a date night, or out of town. I live in Milton but am willing to travel in Chittenden County and some of the Franklin County Area. I work full time during the week with the ability to flex my schedule. I am able to stop by on my way to work, pop in some time during the day, again after work and before bed time. During the weekends, my days are fairly open which allows for more flexibility. Safety and trust are very important. I would follow the expectations and maintain the routines of the owners. Therefore, this will look different in every household.
About: I’ve taken care of and had my own dogs and cats for over 20 years. My current dogs are 2 and 9 so I have a wide range of recent experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs. I’m a therapist in training currently so I’m very pro communication and I’m happy to set expectations with you early and keep lines of communication open throughout my time with your pet. My schedule is very flexible especially over the summer, I’m currently studying for my PhD and can pop over for a walk, a feeding, a bathroom break, or just a visit. Especially this summer without classes I can work with you and your schedule. I have two dogs and a cat myself. I think I love them probably more than anything else in this world. In our home we love and respect our pets making sure they feel comfortable and confident and safe. We live in a quiet neighborhood with a fenced in back yard, our dogs are walked 2x per day and have bones and lick mats several times per week. I think mutual respect between us and pets is incredibly important and I always want them to live a life as full as possible.
About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs my entire life, giving me experience with a wide range of breeds, sizes, and personalities. As an animal shelter volunteer, I’ve worked with dogs from different backgrounds and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and positive interactions. I’m active and able to keep up with high-energy dogs while also providing attentive care and companionship. My experience at adoption events has helped me become comfortable handling dogs in new environments and making sure they feel safe and supported. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule that allows me to fit pet care easily into my daily and weekly routine. I’m able to adjust my availability around bookings and make sure each pet gets consistent attention, exercise, and care. At my home or a client’s home, I follow the owner’s instructions closely to keep pets comfortable and on their normal routine. I make sure they are fed on schedule, always have fresh water, and get plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention based on their energy level. I prioritize safety, supervision, and creating a calm, stress-free environment. I’m also attentive to each pet’s personality, whether they need extra cuddles, structure, or space.
About: My name is Amelia and I am in college studying animal sciences. I have experience with dogs walking, cat and fish care, and would love to help you and your pets out in any way I can! I’m currently a full time student, so I can pop in and out mid morning and in between classes throughout the week. I will make sure the animal gets a good chunk of my time and attention and will make sure not to rush them. It’s important the animal is safe and stimulated while I am with them. If I am dropping in to feed or take care of your pet I will ensure a clean environment and that they are enriched until a caretaker returns. If I am taking your pet on a walk I will cater to the dogs temperament and endurance. The pet’s experience (and their bathroom/food needs) is optimized.

About: As a lifelong dog owner, animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve owned four Labrador Retrievers over the years and currently have one lovable lab, Ellie Bear, who absolutely loves making new furry friends. My experience goes far beyond basic pet care — my first dog, Nala, had a litter of 8 puppies, giving me hands-on experience with canine pregnancy, birthing, newborn puppy care, feeding schedules, socialization, and raising puppies in a safe, loving environment. I understand the importance of patience, routine, exercise, affection, and making pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. Whether your pup loves playtime, cuddles, or simply having companionship, I treat every dog like family. 🐾 🐾 Availability & Care Schedule 🐾 Your pup will never be left alone — someone will always be home 24/7, whether it’s myself, Pep, or Kevin. We provide a safe, loving, family-style environment where dogs receive constant attention, care, and companionship. Each day includes: • Plenty of playtime and exercise • Snuggles, affection, and personalized attention • Potty breaks and outdoor time • A cozy, stress-free environment where your dog is treated like family 🐻🐾 I am currently available for: • Weekend boarding • Extended stays when needed • Flexible scheduling depending on availability My goal is to make every pup feel comfortable, loved, and right at home while you’re away! Your pup’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. We provide a loving, family-style environment where dogs are treated like one of our own. We have a large fenced-in yard perfect for running, playing, fetch, and getting lots of energy out safely. Our chocolate lab, Ellie Bear, absolutely loves making new friends, chasing tennis balls, and cooling down afterward in the pet pool on warmer days! 🐻💦 For boarding stays, I can easily accommodate your dog’s sleeping preferences. If your pup is crate trained, I’m happy to crate them when needed, or they can relax in a cozy dog bed for bedtime. And if your dog is used to extra snuggles and sleeping close to their humans, we don’t mind cuddles in bed either — we want them to feel as comfortable and at home as possible. Most importantly, your dog will never be left alone. Someone will always be home 24/7 — whether it’s myself, or Kevin — so your pup will always have supervision, companionship, love, and care.

“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.”
“Thank you, John, for your great care of Gaia. John was communicative, responsive and sent multiple pictures per day which my partner and I appreciated. I also appreciated John having us visit his home before his caring for her so she could build a sense of familiarity. We will definitely use John’s services again and am so appreciative of the care he provided for our fury family member.”
“Laura is a great host. Very responsive to our request and great communication throughout. She has a fantastic location for dogs and her dog is very friendly. Our first booking with DogVacay and couldn't have gone any better. Thanks Laura!”
“Natalie and Patrick took wonderful care of Bert as always. I really appreciate their frequent updates and pictures. He came home a very tired and very happy boy :) He is already looking forward to his next stay.”
“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”
“Eva was amazing! She was incredibly quick to respond, very helpful and clear in all of our interactions, and most importantly, Daisy was very well cared for. I could tell she received lots of attention, love, and care while I was away. I'll be certain to first check with Eva whenever I'll be out of town again. Thanks so much!”

“Second time using Brooke and will use her again as often as I can. She's fantastic. Smooth pickup/drop-off, great communication, and just makes everything easy. On top of that, my pup has a great time hanging with her dog Bailey and going on long daily walks. She brought me back a tired and happy pup! Thanks Brooke!”
“Simply amazing! Rushi sent cute photos and updates to put my mind at ease - Alan had a blast with her family and sweet little toddler. They took him on walks, gave lots of love and kept me updated throughout :)”
“Excellent care provided! Received pictures and updates every morning and night. Asked questions about Ava’s care, clearly showing his care and attention. Very accessible and communicative Will most definitely use again!”
“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!”
“We recently went on an overseas trip and needed somewhere for our pup to stay. We definitely didn't want to board him at a kennel/doggie daycare, so reached out to Eric. I can't put into words how happy we were with Eric & his family for how they took care of Jerome. Frequent photos and updates allowed us to enjoy our trip while knowing that Jerome was being treated as part of their family. Well definitely be reaching out to Eric again if/when we need a place for Jerome to stay. Would rate 10 stars if we could, such a great experience (for us and Jerome) :)”
“We couldn’t ask for a better experience with Chad. Our family stayed in Smugglers’ Notch/Stowe area and our resort (if you do timeshare, you understand) doesn’t allow pets. We still wanted our dog close and finding Chad is awesome. He took the time to discuss ahead of boarding all necessary details about Pakun. He even asked for written notes and sent daily pictures and videos. We are kept updated especially with important details about our dog’s behavior. We could tell our Pakun was treated so well. Our English Springer’s hair was not tangled and he was clean when we picked him up. It is hard to believe since our dog has videos of walks, playing in the park and playdates with other dogs,he even did enrichment activities. Our dog is used to group boarding when we go on vacation, he usually comes back smelly and all tangled up. We are so pleased with our experience this time and we are so glad we brought him to have his own vacation with Chad.”
“Danielle cared for our dog River for an entire week at her house. River is a young, very high energy dog and Danielle did a great job handling him, especially with the other dogs that were staying with her. Her communication is excellent and we received pictures and texts daily. She has a beautiful, wide open space for the dogs to run off leash. I would not hesitate to leave your dog with Danielle!”
