Very wonderful pet sitters. They took great care of our puppy while we were gone. They provided many videos and pictures to keep us updated on her stay. ❤️

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.

Suzie-Anne C. took excellent care of our dog, Kwila, while we were overseas. She took Kwila on walks, car rides, visits to a fenced play area, etc. She even handled one of Kwila’s seizures, a recurring problem. I would not hesitate to leave my dog with her again.

Rebecca was a godsend in a pinch (wedding in the area, learned last minute our Airbnb was not pet friendly). Did not hesitate for a minute at taking on our active and kooky husky mix, sent constant updates - clearly he was loved like a member of the household and so happy in her care. We are grateful our dog agreed to leave on pickup 😂 and we wouldn’t hesitate to refer Rebecca let alone to place our dog with her again. Thank you Rebecca!!!

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.

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.

About: J’ai toujours eu des animaux depuis ma jeunesse. Je suis toujours attentive à leurs besoin et je ne manque jamais un détail. Ce qui est ma grande force avec les animaux. Pendant quelques années j’ai travaillé dans le grand nord, j’ai fondé ma petite organization pour sauver des chiens nordiques à Kuujjuaq,Quebec. Je m’occupais de trouver des familles et de leurs donner des soins. Je sais m’adapter aux races diverses et leurs tempéraments qui sont toujours unique. I am a very passionnate and caring person with animals since I am a kid. I had all kind of animals in my life: dogs small and large, cats, parrots, budgies rabbits and fish. I have been rescuing homeless puppies and dogs while working in the arctic between 1999 and 2002. I understand dogs behavior and I know a lot about pet first aid and different diseases and symptoms. I have a very calming energy with pets, I understand them and make sure they are always comfortable. I live in the Montérégie area, about 35 min drive from Montreal . I have a detach house with a large yard as well and a finish basement for more space to play when there is bad weather:) There is a lot of space and I have access to great parks and hiking paths nearby at all time:) Je travaille de la maison à temps partiel, j’ai beaucoup de flexibilité et disponibilité. Je veux éventuellement seulement m’occuper d’animaux de compagnie dans le futur. J’ai une grande cour clôturée, il y a beaucoup d’espace pour jouer et aussi je suis tout près de nombreux parcs pour prendre de longues marches en toute sécurité. Mon travail étant flexible, je peux en tout temps me libérer pour accommoder les besoins de chaques chiens, repas, pause dehors, médicaments, je marche beaucoup, souvent je vais en voiture dans des endroits spécifiques pour plus de tranquilté. J’ai une cour gazonnée intime et sécurisée, beaucoup d’espace pour les jeux ou simplement prendre une sieste au soleil sur notre balcon. L’hiver je fais des petits sentiers dans la neige.

I recently hired Jess to take care of my Tommy while I was away, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the very beginning, Jess was professional, communicative, and clearly passionate about animals. During our meet-and-greet, Jess took the time to understand my pet’s routine and needs, which put my mind at ease. When I returned, my Tommy was happy and well-cared for, which is the best indicator of a great pet sitter. I highly recommend Jess to anyone looking for reliable and loving care for their furry family members!

Our 6 year old GSD, Flynn, has been with Chad since he was 4 months old. Up until a few months ago in a doggie day care, and now spending 2 days a week with him in a more 1:1 setting. Chad's calm, nurturing demeanor and unwavering patience and consistency with our often anxious and always energetic guy makes such a huge different for our family. Flynn's 2 days a week with Chad mean that he is a calmer, happier, less anxious dog at home. All of this being said, I think the biggest recommendation that we could give would be that whether it was at day care drop off or Chad pulling into our driveway for a visit, Flynn can never get to Chad fast enough. For us- that says it all!

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.

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!

About: I've been an animal lover and taken care of pets my whole life! Growing up, we had the sweetest yellow lab named Pete. Now, my partner and I adopt old pets and care for them during their retirement. I love animals and will care for your pets as if they were my own. ****** PLEASE NOTE ****** that we have two dogs (an elderly deaf pug named Alice, and a senior terrier mix named Edie) and one cat. Our pets are friendly towards other dogs, cats, and people who come to visit/ stay with us. Please let me know if you have any concerns about your pet staying with our pets, or if they don't have experience with cats. We can discuss and ensure it'll be a good mutual fit. I am an educator at the local elementary school, and offer pet care services to neighbors and visitors to the area. My availability is generally flexible on the weekends, and can extend into the week on a case-by-case basis. I generally offer 3-4 walks per day, including one longer adventure to mountain trails, or another nearby, dog friendly destination. I'm happy to bring your pup to any of their favorite spots (within reason). Of course, it goes without saying that pets are allowed on the furniture and more than welcome to snuggle in bed at night, also open to crating or any special care required.

I have been rescuing homeless puppies and dogs while working in the arctic between 1999 and 2002. I understand dogs behavior and I know a lot about pet first aid and different diseases and symptoms. I have a very calming energy with pets, I understand them and make sure they are always comfortable. I live in the Montérégie area, about 35 min drive from Montreal . I have a detach house with a large yard as well and a finish basement for more space to play when there is bad weather:) There is a lot of space and I have access to great parks and hiking paths nearby at all time:) Je travaille de la maison à temps partiel, j’ai beaucoup de flexibilité et disponibilité. Je veux éventuellement seulement m’occuper d’animaux de compagnie dans le futur. J’ai une grande cour clôturée, il y a beaucoup d’espace pour jouer et aussi je suis tout près de nombreux parcs pour prendre de longues marches en toute sécurité. Mon travail étant flexible, je peux en tout temps me libérer pour accommoder les besoins de chaques chiens, repas, pause dehors, médicaments, je marche beaucoup, souvent je vais en voiture dans des endroits spécifiques pour plus de tranquilté. J’ai une cour gazonnée intime et sécurisée, beaucoup d’espace pour les jeux ou simplement prendre une sieste au soleil sur notre balcon. L’hiver je fais des petits sentiers dans la neige.

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: Seulement bien avec eux! Jeux et promenade. Présence constante. Repas selon vos indications. Les animaux font ici partie de la famille ou selon vos indications. Enseignante, du temps pour vos vacances estivales. Fin de semaine jamais sans mes chiens. Meilleur passe-temps, les longues promenades avec les chiens. Sentier à proximité.

About: Depuis mon plus jeune âge, les animaux ont toujours fait partie de ma vie. J'ai grandi entouré de chiens et de chats, développant un profond amour et un respect pour eux. J'ai toujours pris soin d'eux avec dévouement et affection. En tant qu'adulte, cette passion n'a fait que croître. J'ai eu la chance de partager ma vie avec divers animaux, établissant avec chacun d'eux un lien unique et spécial. On m'appelle souvent "Docteur Dolittle", car j'ai une capacité particulière à comprendre leurs besoins et leurs émotions. Mon expérience m'a permis d'acquérir des compétences précieuses dans les soins aux animaux, et je m'efforce toujours d'offrir le meilleur environnement possible à mes compagnons à quatre pattes. Qu'il s'agisse de promenades, de jeux ou de soins médicaux, ma connexion avec eux est indéfectible et enrichissante. Les animaux sont non seulement des amis fidèles, mais aussi des enseignants qui m'inspirent chaque jour. Je travail de la maison. Je fais mon horaire personnel alors mon horaire est tres flexible. J'ai donc du temps dans le jours pour prendre soins de vos chers animaux J'ai une cours arrière clôturer avec des l'espace pour jouer ou explorer selon l'envie de l'animal. Je suis egalement une personne active alors j'adore aller me promener. Il y a un parc a chien a quelque mètres de la maison egalement si le maître me l'autorise. Je prend toujours le temps qu'il faut avec chaque animal. Peut importe le service qui met demandé.

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 have always been around pets of all kinds; reptiles, house pets, farm animals, even a tarantula. I am caring and attentive and up for anything! I work from home and set my own work schedule. Pet care can fit right into my flexible schedule. I would love to have a companion on my walks, as I listen to my podcasts!! I like to do my research on a particular pet if I am going to care for it. This ensures I will properly handle and care for the pet, as they vary!

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.

Suzie-Anne C. took excellent care of our dog, Kwila, while we were overseas. She took Kwila on walks, car rides, visits to a fenced play area, etc. She even handled one of Kwila’s seizures, a recurring problem. I would not hesitate to leave my dog with her again.

Rebecca was a godsend in a pinch (wedding in the area, learned last minute our Airbnb was not pet friendly). Did not hesitate for a minute at taking on our active and kooky husky mix, sent constant updates - clearly he was loved like a member of the household and so happy in her care. We are grateful our dog agreed to leave on pickup 😂 and we wouldn’t hesitate to refer Rebecca let alone to place our dog with her again. Thank you Rebecca!!!

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.

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.

I seldom leave my dog behind when traveling, but it was SO great knowing that he was safe and happy staying at Michele’s place. She sent pictures and daily updates so that I knew my pup was okay. It was also very clear that he got his far share of exercise, he slept all day!! Thanks again !!
