Personalized care for your dog or cat - Ely
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Ely
“Murphy had such a blast with Joe! He came home happy and fluffy! He usually resists going to a kennel so we decided to try this approach! Will definitely do this again! Loved seeing his pics and getting updates! A total 5-star experience!!”
“Our dog always has a great time with Samantha and her family, and he comes home happy, healthy, and tired! We boarded him at another place before, and it was clear he was kept in a crate most of the time and couldn't wait to get out of there. But with Samantha, he gets excited to see us then just sort of sniffs around and chills, like he doesn't want to leave. It makes us feel good while we are away to know that he is taken care of like family!”
“Christina and Jason say that 'while your dog is with us, your dog is our dog', and they really mean it. They truly understand and love dogs. There is absolutely nothing else I could want in a pet sitter. I am so grateful to have found them. My dog is pretty darn happy about it too.”
“I can't say enough good things about Jenna. I feel bad just being so late in providing this review due to all the wonderfulness she has provided. I have two pups, a 3 year old mutt and a 6 month old Shepsky mix. Jenna has watched the two of them now at her place around 5 times. They could not be happier under her care. Highlights: Jenna is so good with them - she gets on their level, builds trust, treats them as her own family. She is super flexible, happily does pickup/dropoff if needed. She has a big fenced in yard. Yada yada yada. Tl;dr - she is dope, and I never have a second thought after dropping up my pups with her for up to a week stay while I'm away on business. Thank you, Jenna!”
“Edgar & Rene were the best! Dante, my golden, loved staying with them and their dogs. Edgar & Rene really went above and beyond to make sure Dante stayed active, got better off leash, and remained healthy. Dante & I are very grateful for his stay!”
“Our dog, Mable, had the best time at Emily’s! My husband and I had our pup stay at Emily’s for a long weekend while we were out of town, and we felt so at ease. Emily sent us updates and pictures multiple times a day. Mable was so happy and came back worn out from all the playtime and love! We will certainly be using Emily again in the future! Highly recommend!”
About: I have had many breeds and ages of dogs my whole life. I look forward to assisting you with your best friend. From feeding to training and walks to the river I can’t wait to meet your best friend. Need more than dog care? I have plenty of experience with all sorts of farm animals! Currently have a flexible schedule and looking to add more dogs to my dog walk. I have a great spot to take by my house or we could head to some more well known trails. Your pup can come hang in my fenced in yard and join my pups in watching the chickens roam around. Otherwise we can stay in the comfort of their own space.
“Steve and Keely took amazing care of my 11-month old black lab Rain. Their lab Sabra and Rain became fast friends and played together constantly during her 2-day stay. Rain had plenty of room inside and had daily walks and outside time as well. Steve sent me photos and updates throughout her stay. I have already rebooked with Steve for a weeklong trip I am taking next week. I can’t recommend him enough.”
“Edison had a great time exploring and playing with Brittany and her family. She provided lots of pics and updates so we always had tabs on how he was doing. Thanks so much for taking good care of him!”
“Michelle was great with our Enzo. She sent lots of updates with pictures and videos and I know he was well loved. The day we picked him up he slept all afternoon and was such a happy dog. Will absolutely use Michelle again.”
About: I grew up around dogs my whole life as I have lived on a school campus! Dogs are something that I have always wanted, but never got the chance to have. The biggest thing that sets me apart is that I have plenty of love left to give to your pet! As a college student I have Friday-Sundays off therefor I have a lot of free time to play around with dogs! I also live with 7 other girls who would be more than happy to have a lil pup in town! I am willing to stay overnight at owners house if that is needed! If pets are to come to my apartment, they would have plenty of outdoor space to play around safely!
About: Hi my name is Sean. I recently graduated from RIT with a BFA in illustration. I love all animals and currently have a lot of flexibility to care for your pets while I am working from home. I grew up with two labradoodles and I have also cared for friends' animals while they have been away. One of my dogs has Addison's disease, so I am familiar with giving medication to pets. Spending time with animals brings me joy and does not seem like work - I enjoy playing with your animals, going on walks and I give a great belly rub! I am extremely responsible and will love your animals like my own...you might also find some sketches of your pet when you return home. I am an artist that is currently working from home in Quechee. I am extremely flexible and am available during the week and on weekends. I make my own hours so can work around your schedule. I live with my parents and two friendly labradoodles ages 8 and 12. I could board a dog in my home if he/she gets along well with other dogs and is house-trained. I prefer to care for your animals in your own home: I can do drop-in visits, walks and daytime or overnight house-sitting.
“Ann is not just a dog-sitter. She is someone who understands every dog is different, and gives special attention to meet their needs and make sure they are loved. She spent extra time to sooth our nervous rescue dog Cleo, and bring her out of her shell until she was comfortable running around playing with the other sweet dogs at Ann’s home. She has a perfect set-up with nice backyard, and lounging area inside with lots of sun. Her many updates and photos gave us peace-of-mind that our dog was happy and well cared for during our time away. We will definitely be back!”
“I can’t recommend Diana highly enough! Our dog returned happy & healthy. He clearly had a great time with her (as evident in the frequent updates and his demeanor when we picked him up). Thank you, Diana <3”
About: Growing up around a wide variety of animals has given me the skills and passion needed to be an attentive and responsible carer of all kinds of pets. I've owned several dogs, cats, rodents, and horses. I was responsible for administering medications, accommodating pets with special needs, becoming attuned to various behaviors and habits, and adhering to specific individualized training methods. I'm currently working full-time from home as a customer service rep for a small, local company and mothering my 2 year old toddler (who is very gentle and respectful around all animals). I'm fortunately very flexible with my schedule and can accommodate both last-minute and long-term schedules! Being a sincere animal lover, I'm always enthusiastically willing to tend to the needs of any pets that are under my care. I believe that both people and animals benefit from living in a clean and comfortable space, so I seek to maintain and accommodate that kind of positive atmosphere in your pet's home.
“This was my first time using Rover and I’m so glad Shannon was my first dog-sitter. She took great care of my 6-month old black lab Rain. She took her on walks and made her feel at home. Knowing I was a bit anxious about leaving Rain with a new person, Shannon sent me a picture and a short message letting me know she was doing great. I would definitely book with her again!”

“Jenna has been watching my 3 cats for almost a year, anytime I'm out of town. She's an excellent communicator, fully reliable, and so sweet with my girls. Highly recommend!!!”
“Katie did an awesome job looking after my cats while I was away! She was super sweet, and both kitties were well taken care of—even my shy cat came out a few times while she was dropping in to check on them throughout the week!”
“We are especially grateful for Evelyn’s flexibility when we needed a last minute change for the additional visits per day. She was very accommodating and handled everything smoothly. Her reliability and kindness gave us great peace of mind. Would absolutely book again.”
“Valerie went above and beyond to take care of my two cats. In addition to feeding and litter, she spent extra time to play with them which left them stimulated and happy. She provided daily updates with photos, and even cleaned their litter area without me asking. She treated my little ones as her own. Highly recommend Valerie for any devoted cat owner.”

“Julia was amazing! She came and played with my kitten Tequi every night to get out the wiggles while I was away. She understood that Tequi was shy when meeting new people and took her time letting Tequi get comfortable with her and tailoring playtime so that even when Tequi was nervous she could still be happy and have fun. She also accommodated me while I was away out of the country and only have minimal wifi. She insured to update me nightly with multiple pictures/videos. She helped ease the stress of leaving her for the first time and made me comfortable that Tequi was in great hands and was probably having more fun than I was!”
“Lexi is wonderful! We had a meet and greet and a drop in visit for a walk so far! "Tessa" our doberman pincher loves Lexi, we just say her name and Tessa is looking for her!! Rover is awesome aswell, we can trac the walk and received a picture after. We can't say enough as to how comfortable this has been! Looking forward to Lexi and her positive and comfortable professional nature!”
About: If my rates are an obstacle in caring for your pet then I’m happy to provide a sliding scale and have a discussion upon request. Professionally, I was vet assistant at an animal clinic before returning to farm animal work. At the clinic I learned the basics of animal health care and I learned how to properly handle dogs and cats. Throughout the last twelve years I’ve farm-sat and pet-sat for numerous friends and family members! In the last year I worked at a doggy daycare and worked groups of 11-12 large dogs. I also worked in group of 15+ small dogs and "solos" (highly dog aggressive dogs). Working in that environment took me to the next level of understanding cues and dog behavior. I learned to advocate for dogs, look for health and safety warning signs and how to manage group dynamics. I am currently a *human* nurse and making time for animals because that is where I feel I really come alive. :) I believe that animals are part of the family and I will treat them like so. I have basic experience with dog training and I personally believe that dogs thrive in structured and predictable environments. I love exercising and having fun with dogs, too! I have availability to help you with your pup or cat! Depending on the health of your pet I will socialize and exercise your pet's body and mind and of course offer any snuggles that are welcomed. I love exercising animals as much as it is tolerated by them. I currently work per diem as a staff nurse in Lebanon NH which gives me a lot of flexibility to care for pets. I am happy to abide by your house rules and expectations for your pet(s). I enjoy walks to dog parks, trails, playing in fenced yards and practicing obedience and tricks!
“Caitlin was prompt and attentive. I appreciated the daily photos. Max looked relaxed and content. It was great to have our senior kitty looked after in our home, since he doesn’t like to travel at all.”
“Mandy dropped in on fairly short notice to take care of our Lab. Mandy was very responsive, took photos during her visits and made the whole process completely stress free. Highly recommend Mandy!”
About: I love all types of pets and would enjoy going above and beyond for yours. I am flexible and willing to talk through any problems you think we may run into and can usually make anything work. I have 2 rescue cats and a 11lb westiepoo named Tito who enjoys playing and being around doggy and kitty friends of all kinds! I will happily do anything to make your animals feel comfortable. I am experienced with giving meds to cats and dogs. I do not discriminate against disabilities. I can deal with all behaviors and types and enjoy playing or just giving companionship. I enjoy animals and truly look forward to meetings yours! Please email me if you have any questions or concerns. I look forward to hearing from you.
“Hariala was very responsive and timely in communicating. She took good care of our cat during holiday and the cold storms, and helped us get food refill when the feeder was running low. Excellent sitter!”
“Sue is a very responsible pet sitter! She contacted me because one of my kitties was in hiding & she'd been looking for an hour! She is a very caring pet sitter - & with shy kitties, she is wonderful.”
“Cyan was an amazing sitter. She came by our house before we scheduled her to meet our pup. Was very responsive and easy to work with. 10/10 would recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter! Eva was incredibly communicative throughout our time away, providing thoughtful updates and photos twice a day that gave us complete peace of mind. It was clear our kitties were receiving excellent care and plenty of attention. Eva was punctual, reliable, and professional, and we truly appreciated the effort she put into keeping us informed. Knowing our pet was in such caring and capable hands made it so much easier to enjoy our time away. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Ely
“As soon as you meet her there's a sense of relief and you understand that your dog is in great hands by someone who truly loves them and takes care of them as her own ! ??”
“Ann was amazing with our puppy! She treated her like her own with all the love and attention we give her at home. Both days when we picked her up she was exhausted from all the fun she had with Ann and her dogs. Will definitely be contacting Ann again for puppy sitting! ?♥️”

About: Growing up, I have never been without a pet to come home to. I truly believe pets have the ability to alter someone’s life, and thus deserve the best care. I can assure you I will treat your pets with utmost care and love. I ran my own pet sitting business in high school, and am very comfortable with new dogs and cats. I am currently an M1 at Dartmouth med school. My schedule is quite flexible, just reach out for specific quests about your pet sitting needs. I live in a house with 5 other medical students so it’s difficult to host animals in my house but I am happy to stay in your home!

About: I have been caring for unwanted and wayward animals for 30 years. All of our pets have been adopted as strays, from shelters or rehoming. Now, I bring these years of experience and love to your furry family members. With a team of of veterinary providers, groomers and emergency contacts in place, you can rest assured that your pets will receive the best possible attention and care. Because I much prefer to care for animals than greet customers at a WalMart, I joined Rover as my retirement job :) It's a great way to pursue my love for dogs and cats. l'm almost always available with a little notice. My home is open to your dog. Jump up on the couch, sleep on the bed, no problem unless you prefer a more structured environment and routine. Your dog will be one of the family here and will have company most all of the time. I also offer a very nice space for cats or for dogs that do not get along well with others. Not a cage or kennel but a finished 20x20 heated and furnished room in my barn loft where we can play and visit one on one.
“Annie was very nice and understanding when our daughter came down with a fever. Our pups seemed happy and well cared for when we picked them up. We'd happily book with Annie again!”
“Juno had a fantastic stay with Kevin & Inez last week. He is comfortable when he knows that the humans he hangs out with understand dogs and instantly connected with Inez. He came home and was super relaxed and happy (and tuckered out from the walks and spending time with other canine friends). He is looking forward to his next stay :-).”
About: I’ve had 2 dogs in my lifetime, starting from a few weeks old and caring for them through their lives. Besides personal experience, I am my friends and families go to person when it comes to pet-sitting. Walking, feeding, bathing… you name it! My patience and love for dogs will ensure your bff has a happy and safe time away from home. I currently am working from home. This means I can easily take pee breaks as often as needed. Additionally, I will be able to take longer breaks for a mid day stretch. After work, my schedule is free to play and entertain with the pups. I have a nice backyard with easily usable for pee breaks. The neighborhood I live in is small and quiet. I live alone in an house and don’t currently have any other pets.
“Our fur-baby spent a wonderful day at Brittanyerin‘a. He got along great with her dog and two children and was exhausted when he got home. We look forward to more daycare days and boarding with Brittanyerin and her family.”
“Cannot say enough good things about Sarah, Ben, and their adorable pup Bean! They took such good care of our puppy while we skied. She got to play all day with another dog and snuggle in between! She came home to us exhausted and happy :) Sarah and Ben sent updates throughout the day and included lots of photos which we loved! Could not recommend them enough!!”
“Christy was wonderful, and my dog (Alice) absolutely adored her! Christy is communicative, friendly, and has an obvious love for the dogs in her care -- Alice will definitely be back!!”
“Soleil had a nice time at Hailey’s home! She offered doggy day care services and was very caring and communicative as a host. She had a very sweet dog named Misty who was also welcoming and got along well with my pup. Lovely property with plenty of space for dogs to roam.”

“Jenna did a great job taking my Australian cattle dog Tessie for walks while I was away at work for a week. Tessie is undergoing heartworm treatment and is on an exercise restriction, and Jenna was very mindful of this, taking her on brief walks and spending time petting her and keeping her company. Tessie was nervous at first but quickly grew comfortable with Jenna. Thanks for your help!”

My goal is to create a low stress experience where your pet feel safe, comfortable and cared for at their own pace.

We've already re-booked for next time, and we highly recommend Kevin!”
