“Barbara and Darryll were terrific! Flexible and communicative, with frequent updates and photos. They were patient with my anxious dog, Betty, and she warmed up to them quickly. I can tell she had a good stay. Highly recommend!”
“Absolutely comforting family to leave your pet with. As much as we missed Koda while we were away we knew he was in good hands. Samantha was great at keeping us posted on how things were going, with little messages and photos. Will definitely be contacting Samantha and her family for our next trip. Thanks again!”
About: Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do on the side—it’s what I’ve built real experience in. I’ve worked hands-on with dogs for over three years in professional settings, including daycare, boarding, and off-leash adventures, and my most recent role was at a training facility where I learned how to safely manage dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I also own a dog of my own, so I understand the trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. My goal is always to provide structured, attentive, and genuinely loving care so every dog feels safe, happy, and understood. I am also attending school to become a professional canine trainer. Pet care is my entire life. I have dedicated all 7 days of the week and 365 days of the year towards taking care of others and my own animals. Need last minute boarding due to a family emergency? I’m your girl. Everything else closed when you have work? I’m your girl. Taking a weekend trip but no where is open? I’m. Your. Girl. I am not only here for the convenience of you but also your beloved furry friends My yard is currently not fenced,(fence coming soon!) but I do offer leash training for more enjoyable walking experiences. I do daily walks for all dogs no matter the training level they are at. I have 1 very friendly lab mix who would keep your dog friendly dogs company, and I also offer special care for those special pups who are more people dogs than dog dogs for no additional charge. If your dog is crate trained they will be crated for bedtime (9pm-6am) with overnight potty breaks if your pup requires them as well. I keep all dogs and cats separated. Dogs have the downstairs of the home, and cats have the upstairs. I am comfortable with administering basically any medication except needles, the only needle exception being for diabetic animals.
“We were so happy to find someone who is fear free certified & uses positive reinforcement and were thrilled when Maria let us know she was available to watch our 7 month old puppy on short notice. Our puppy had never been alone or away from us so we were very nervous but when we arrived at Maria’s home, we were put at ease when she let him approach her vs. coming over to greet him as he can be a bit shy at first. Our pup took to Maria fairly quickly and once we went inside, Maria introduced her dog Lalo. Lalo was very sweet and so patient with our pup who was extremely excited to have a friend to play with. We were worried our pup would have a hard time with us leaving but we were actually able to sneak out the door/leave while our pup played with Lalo! Our pup is a high energy breed and Maria made sure he got both physical and mental stimulation by bringing him on several walks and offering a Kong. He slept almost the whole 3 hour drive home! We received our first update from Maria shortly after we dropped off our pup and she continued to send frequent updates and texted back very quickly - again putting our worries at ease! We would absolutely recommend Maria and if we are ever in the area again, utilize her services!”
“Faye did an amazing job with our two anxious boys. She made them feel comfortable and made sure they got all the snuggles and outside time during our ski weekend. She sent adorable photos and was very communicative. We will be contacting Faye again when we visit next!”
About: I have had a passion for animals my whole life, and love getting to care for new pets and their individual needs. I have a dog, cat, and bunny, but it’s not enough so I want to love yours!

I reply extremely quickly to texts and am ready to answer questions, concerns, and update you with your pets’ photos!

“Nina was awesome! My dog Mattis had a great boarding experience. I felt 100% comfortable knowing that Nina was taking such good care of my boy. Not only would I recommend Nina to others but will be asking her to sit for Mattis again soon.”
About: From a young age, I knew my life’s work would involve animals. I began horseback riding at age ten and quickly expanded into caring for the lesson horses, later managing a boarding barn and earning my riding instructor’s license. After moving to Vermont, I worked at an animal shelter for dogs and cats, which inspired me to pursue a degree in Veterinary Technology. For over 15 years, I’ve worked as a Certified Veterinary Technician, gaining extensive experience in animal care, health, and behavior. Now, I’m excited to focus on providing pets with comfort, safety, and companionship while their people are away. I'm currently working part-time so I have plenty of time for walks and visits. I'm available on the weekends for boarding and a couple of days during the week. I have a fenced in yard and two dogs to keep your family member company. We have lots of land and trails to walk on. I have a large crate available if needed.
About: Hi! We’re Charlotte and Lucas. We’re animal lovers who have always had pets as part of our family, and caring for them is one of our favorite parts of daily life. Right now, we have a golden retriever who thinks everyone is his best friend and three cats who each have their own personalities. Our pets, as well as our lifetime of experience as pet caregivers has taught us how to juggle different needs, from high-energy walks to quiet cuddle time. We understand what it’s like to worry when you’re away from your pets, so we make sure the animals we care for feel loved, safe, and at home. Whether it’s tossing a ball until your pup is tired, giving extra patience to a shy cat, or just keeping up with daily routines, we will treat your pets just like our own! Taking care of pets is already part of our everyday life. We have a golden retriever and three cats at home, so our days naturally revolve around feeding, walks, play, and snuggles. Because we’re so used to that routine, it feels easy and natural to make time for other pets too. Between the two of us, we’re flexible with mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Depending on the day and time, either one of us will be available, and we’ll clearly communicate that with you when booking so you know who to expect. At the end of the day, we both just enjoy having more chances to spend time with animals. We know how important it is to feel confident that your pets are safe and cared for when you’re not there. When we’re in a client’s home, we’re respectful of your space and careful to follow your routines. We pay attention to details like locked doors, leashes, and food instructions, because we know consistency helps pets feel calm and secure. Most of all, we want you to feel at ease knowing your pets are being treated with the same love and care we give our own.

“Alison is the best! She went above and beyond to give my cat a lot of attention and play as well as attending to food, water and even clean the litter when I didn’t ask her to do that. I would not hesitate to have Alison take care of my dog or cat when I next need that.”
About: I have had my own dog, or taken care of my friends' dogs throughout my life. I love dogs and cats, sometimes even more than people! I work full-time, but would love to spend some time on weekends or weekday evenings with your furry friends. I love going for walks, going to dog parks, cuddling and playing with dogs and cats. I have a fenced in yard and a clean, safe home. I am very active and enjoy exercise, so if that's what your pet needs, I am happy to help!
About: I've had cats my whole life, and am currently a regular cat sitter for my neighbor in my apartment building, and have been the cat sitter for my entire family, grandparents, aunts and uncles for my entire life to teach me responsibility. I have always been the kid that was given $5 to take care of someone's pet and I'm proud to say that
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats and have experience training my Labrador through her puppy and adolescent stages. I’m great with both playful puppies and gentle senior pets. I love being active, so walks and outdoor time are always a priority. What sets me apart is my mix of care, patience, and hands-on experience with pets of all ages. Tuesday and Thursday I am available for evenings, along with Friday mornings and some weekends! I do travel during the day which makes pop - ins much more convenient. Whether in my home or my client’s, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and fun environment. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible—whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or quiet time.
“Michelle thank you! I appreciated the photos you shared during your 5 day stay at my home. It felt great knowing my kitty had company. And my home looked just as it had when I left! You even stripped the bed. Above and beyond what I expected. I will recommend your services to any who inquire:)”
“Avery did an excellent job dropping in to care for my cats. Not only did my cats quickly warm to Avery’s warm and calm energy, but Avery followed instructions to the t and was very flexible with a few last minute schedule changes. The update texts Avery sent each day put my mind at ease and I was relieved to know my cats were in such good hands.”
About: I’ve have 3 dogs and a cat in my own home so I know a thing or two on how to keep your doggy happy and playful. I am an early college student and most of my classes are online so I have a lot of free time on my hands. So I am able to dog sit for long hours if needed or just friendly visits if needed. I live in a house with three very friendly dogs and lots of backyard space for throwing the ball and playing around. Plus I have a lot of hiking trails and ponds for swimming during the summer.
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.

“Maria was amazing with our dog Lena! Lena was never upset when we dropped her off and never seemed anxious when we picked her up, which is saying a whole lot for Lena. Maria was awesome with the Rover reports, giving us lots of photos, a summary of her day, and a recount of her many walks and potty breaks. Maria is sweet as can be and really just everything you could hope for in a sitter for your pup. She gave us a complete peace of mind that our girl was in great hands. Thank you so much Maria!”
“Thanks Faye and Guy! Super accommodating, made sure Yuki felt settled and comfortable. Professional and made sure that Yuki had a great time while we were out skiing. Next time I’m up, will definitely be reaching back out! Thanks again :)”
About: This is my full-time job and I love it. I have experience working as a packleader for 3 years at the Petlodge, that Included training along with being able to provide comfort, love and respect with your animal as well as yourself. One day I would like open my own doggie daycare and boarding business, Called The PawLife has moved to the North East Kingdom, I currently live in east hardwick. I am willing to travel as far as Bolton, Greensboro,Stowe, Wolcott, Morrisville, Hyde park and Johnson areas. I am available full time have always had a dog of my own my whole life until recently and knew I wanted to work with animals for a career since. I worked at the Petlodge for about 3 years and was the pack leader of 10-30 dogs per day and some were daycare dogs and some were borders. During the holidays it was always very busy, sometimes up to 60 dogs staying, so if needed I am available for holidays and will have your schedule for your dog with his/her info. At the petlodge I was also the person who handled the dogs who needed extra attention, such as rescues,dogs who preferred to be alone,pitbulls or special needs dogs. I am more affordable then dog resorts or lodges. Most importantly I also provide more one on one time with your dog baby and they will have my full attention. The stay for the dog(s) for doggie daycare sittings and/boardings at my home, would consist of being fed according to their home schedule, if need to give medicine I'm also able to do that, walks, playing throughout the day along with a "nap time" half way thru the day. I have an outside area for walks and also a park close by for the dogs on good weather days. If inside they would stay in a good spaced area with me and will be able to roam free. Kennels and or dog beds, will just be used for nap time or bed time if that's what your dog is used too. I am also willing to let your dog sleep in my bed. As long as their comfortable and feel at home I don't mind. If there's dogs that don't like kennels I will set up an area for them to lay freely but still secure. I am also certified in dog and cat CPR so your animal will be in good hands. I would prefer to go to your home to watch your dog baby. I believe your dog would be more calm and have less anxiety if they aren't the ones to leave. It is probably hard enough them watching you go and would be more anxious if they had to be in a home over night where they don't know the smells, so I do like daycare/long-term stays/overnights at your home, however if there's a need for me to take the dog to my home Id be happy too. I'm also available for lesser services such as drop ins for walks outside while your away at work,doggie daycare, brush outs, baths, nail trim and light training. I currently live in Georgia, Vermont and it's my childhood home. There is a big yard and is more of a country setting. If you live around the Georgia area I'm open to boarding and house sitting here as well. Also this is very important I also ask parents please to pack a blanket, atleast one toy, leash and or harness and most importantly one of your shirts that smell like you so they feel at home.I have a wide open availability starting early morning hours from 7am into late evening . If given the chance, I know my one on one time, patience and trust for the dogs will make them fall in love with me and also works on building trust with humans. I Also would be willing to do cat sitting or other critters as well if needed. I'm very flexible and open minded so if you want me to be your pack leader and sitter just message me. Also with every booking I will be sending all parents pictures or videos of their animals stay, one AM update and one PM update, each day. Hope to gain future repeat clients for long term services provided by myself for my future petcare buisness. I currently live on 83 acres of wilderness in East Hardwick and animals are allowed of course, also have a fenced in dog yard with a dog house. For house sittings walks and drop by visits. I also took time off to have my son Dragan, in April of 2019 and due to the virus just decided to take more time off to focus on my son but I am ready to get back to work and refocused. Probably looking to start out with 2-3 clients per week then slowly build up my list of clients. My mom is watching my son for me so I am able to start rover up again, so I am able to accept requests and do what I love I always care for others furbabies as of they were my own. I also ask the client to leave a List of any instructions they may have and I try to do everything the same as you so the fur babies routine doesn't chance much.
About: I love pets of all sizes and breeds, and am happy to make sure they each get plenty of exercise and play time! My 2 year old pup, Goose, loves meeting new buddies and is an excellent playmate!😊 I am home Monday-Friday so I’m able to keep up with frequent potty breaks if needed. Goose and I love having extra work from home buddies! I am happy to replicate any animals’ routine to keep them as comfortable and happy as possible while their people are away. You can enjoy your travels knowing your pets are safe and well taken care of - with plenty of photo updates!
“Notre Théo a eu une journée très chargée remplie d'activités et de beaux moments - il fait dodo depuis son retour à la maison, il est crevé !!! Des hôtes très accueillants qui ont su bien gérer notre berger australien de 8 mois, surtout pour une première journée de garde. Nous avons passé une très belle journée sans avoir à ce soucier comment va Théo, nous le savions entre bonnes mains. Un gros merci Maurice et Penny et on garde vos coordonnées pas trop loin !”
About: Have taken care of dogs and cats since I was a child for both friends and family. I provide loving care for your home and pets to give a peace of mind while you're away. I work primarily remotely and have reliable transportation for all weather conditions. My kids are respectful of their pets and are home every other week. I have a large farm property and a friendly dog just waiting to wag her tail for a new friend to play with. My cat is very friendly and keeps to himself.
About: Becoming a pet sitter was a really natural process for me. I love animals and am very open to helping others. I started by becoming the go-to pet sitter for my friends and family, and then I found out about Rover! I offer both dog boarding and house sitting, as well as walks, drop ins and daycare. No matter what your dog needs, I can help! I'm lucky enough to have a flexible schedule that allows me to work from home every Summer. This allows me to supervise the animals in my care, and to provide them with lots of attention. I've had several dogs in my life with special needs like mobility issues or old age, so I know how to be mindful of these conditions. I'm easygoing, friendly and polite, it's not hard for humans or dogs to get along with me! When I'm not sitting I love gardening and baking. I do occasional work as a chef/baker and occasionally do some consulting work in those fields. I'm active and love hiking and walking around Craftsbury and the NEK. I genuinely care about all people, I enjoy doing nice things and love my friends and family. You can be confident that I will care for your pet and provide you with the peace of mind that comes from knowing your animal is with someone who loves them. I was active on Rover for a little less than a year back in Chicago and developed great relationships with many families, several of whom were regularly in contact for ongoing doggy care. I moved to Vermont to attend Sterling College to study Sustainable Food Systems and Social Justice. I love being in the NEK and will be here for years to come thanks to my partner's job. My full time employment fluctuates which makes pet sitting an ideal supplemental gig for me. Because Rover charges by the night-- I appreciate it if you pay for an additional night if you need me to stay past 10 AM the day of departure. Thanks! Supervision, open and honest communication, specific and appropriate activities and stimulation, and attentive care and nurturing spirit towards every one of the animals I come across.

Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday are my days off so those are the days I will be available most often. Though, because I don't leave for work until noon, I would be open to morning drop-ins when possible on the weekends. It's important for pets to know they're taken care of fresh food and water. Some play time and company clean litter boxes and walks. Their comfort is key.

“Barbara and Darryll were terrific! Flexible and communicative, with frequent updates and photos. They were patient with my anxious dog, Betty, and she warmed up to them quickly. I can tell she had a good stay. Highly recommend!”
“Absolutely comforting family to leave your pet with. As much as we missed Koda while we were away we knew he was in good hands. Samantha was great at keeping us posted on how things were going, with little messages and photos. Will definitely be contacting Samantha and her family for our next trip. Thanks again!”

“We were so happy to find someone who is fear free certified & uses positive reinforcement and were thrilled when Maria let us know she was available to watch our 7 month old puppy on short notice. Our puppy had never been alone or away from us so we were very nervous but when we arrived at Maria’s home, we were put at ease when she let him approach her vs. coming over to greet him as he can be a bit shy at first. Our pup took to Maria fairly quickly and once we went inside, Maria introduced her dog Lalo. Lalo was very sweet and so patient with our pup who was extremely excited to have a friend to play with. We were worried our pup would have a hard time with us leaving but we were actually able to sneak out the door/leave while our pup played with Lalo! Our pup is a high energy breed and Maria made sure he got both physical and mental stimulation by bringing him on several walks and offering a Kong. He slept almost the whole 3 hour drive home! We received our first update from Maria shortly after we dropped off our pup and she continued to send frequent updates and texted back very quickly - again putting our worries at ease! We would absolutely recommend Maria and if we are ever in the area again, utilize her services!”
“Faye did an amazing job with our two anxious boys. She made them feel comfortable and made sure they got all the snuggles and outside time during our ski weekend. She sent adorable photos and was very communicative. We will be contacting Faye again when we visit next!”
About: I have had a passion for animals my whole life, and love getting to care for new pets and their individual needs. I have a dog, cat, and bunny, but it’s not enough so I want to love yours! I follow detailed requests and always promise extra pets. I have a very flexible schedule and work remotely part time. I reply extremely quickly to texts and am ready to answer questions, concerns, and update you with your pets’ photos! I am great with following directions or special requests for pets and am always responsible in your home. I will make sure your fur baby is safe and sound.
“Nina was awesome! My dog Mattis had a great boarding experience. I felt 100% comfortable knowing that Nina was taking such good care of my boy. Not only would I recommend Nina to others but will be asking her to sit for Mattis again soon.”
About: From a young age, I knew my life’s work would involve animals. I began horseback riding at age ten and quickly expanded into caring for the lesson horses, later managing a boarding barn and earning my riding instructor’s license. After moving to Vermont, I worked at an animal shelter for dogs and cats, which inspired me to pursue a degree in Veterinary Technology. For over 15 years, I’ve worked as a Certified Veterinary Technician, gaining extensive experience in animal care, health, and behavior. Now, I’m excited to focus on providing pets with comfort, safety, and companionship while their people are away. I'm currently working part-time so I have plenty of time for walks and visits. I'm available on the weekends for boarding and a couple of days during the week. I have a fenced in yard and two dogs to keep your family member company. We have lots of land and trails to walk on. I have a large crate available if needed.
About: Hi! We’re Charlotte and Lucas. We’re animal lovers who have always had pets as part of our family, and caring for them is one of our favorite parts of daily life. Right now, we have a golden retriever who thinks everyone is his best friend and three cats who each have their own personalities. Our pets, as well as our lifetime of experience as pet caregivers has taught us how to juggle different needs, from high-energy walks to quiet cuddle time. We understand what it’s like to worry when you’re away from your pets, so we make sure the animals we care for feel loved, safe, and at home. Whether it’s tossing a ball until your pup is tired, giving extra patience to a shy cat, or just keeping up with daily routines, we will treat your pets just like our own! Taking care of pets is already part of our everyday life. We have a golden retriever and three cats at home, so our days naturally revolve around feeding, walks, play, and snuggles. Because we’re so used to that routine, it feels easy and natural to make time for other pets too. Between the two of us, we’re flexible with mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Depending on the day and time, either one of us will be available, and we’ll clearly communicate that with you when booking so you know who to expect. At the end of the day, we both just enjoy having more chances to spend time with animals. We know how important it is to feel confident that your pets are safe and cared for when you’re not there. When we’re in a client’s home, we’re respectful of your space and careful to follow your routines. We pay attention to details like locked doors, leashes, and food instructions, because we know consistency helps pets feel calm and secure. Most of all, we want you to feel at ease knowing your pets are being treated with the same love and care we give our own.
