“Jessica and Josie were wonderful with Miss Ruby. Even understanding her occasional accident in the house as coming from anxiety. Possibly due to construction noises which were expected to be gone before Miss Ruby’s visit. It changed my perspective from paying for Dogcare to paying to have Miss Ruby share her joy with Josie and Jessica and their family. ???”

About: I've been around animals my whole life and currently have two pet goats who we spoil like dogs. My partner and I have 30 acres of beautiful land surrounded by woods, which is a perfect haven for running, fetch, and all sorts of outdoor shenanigans. I work remotely from home with a flexible schedule. I typically work a few hours in the morning, and then am outside working on projects and playing with the animals all day. We have a large property (about 30 acres) surrounded by woods with lots of room for your dog to run and explore. We also live near some great hiking trails.
About: Reliable and responsible cat and dog lover, I've been fostering dogs for over a year and have successfully placed 9 foster dogs. I've also helped take care of friend's and family's pets my whole life and I take dog training seriously. My pet care schedule is fairly flexible at the moment due to recent life changes. Please reach out with your questions and pet care needs! I have a livestock fence for supervised zoomies with fence-respecting dogs. My dog, Licorice, is playful and well-socialized, 2 dog-savvy cats and I often have a foster dog or 2 living with me.
“Kate is sooo wonderful! It was my first time looking for a sitter and i was worried because I never left my dog with someone that’s not my family members or friends but my Bella took to her right away and gets so excited to see her. Kate is very responsive to texts and keeps me posted with photos I feel so much at ease knowing that my pup is well looked after. Thank you Kate for taking such a good care of my dog while I was away 🙏🏻”
“Sam and her family took excellent care of my two dogs! Communication was top-notch, and I loved to see how happy and well cared for they were.

“Lily was extremely helpful when my previously booked sitter cancelled at the last minute. She was friendly and able to respect our home's dietary restrictions. She was a lifesaver!

She always responded quickly to messages despite a time difference. We'd be open to hiring Lily again.”

About: I’ve had cats my whole life other than when I was a student, so you’re getting experience above all else. I can drop in for feeds, play time, take them to vet appointments while you're at work or away, stay the night if they get separation anxiety, whatever they need! Even if they just need company for an hour, don’t hesitate to get in touch!
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my mother ran an animal rescue, and I was fortunate to spend my childhood helping care for, socialize, and train animals of all kinds; primarily dogs and cats. This experience taught me not only how to understand animal behavior, but also the patience, compassion, and consistency that every pet deserves. I am comfortable caring for pets with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and needs. Whether your pet is playful and energetic, shy and reserved, or requires extra patience and attention, I strive to provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where they feel secure and cared for. As a pet sitter and walker, I treat every animal as an individual and make their comfort, safety, and well-being my top priorities. You can expect reliable communication, attentive care, and someone who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and becoming someone you can trust whenever you need an extra helping hand. Experience Highlights * Raised in a family-run animal rescue environment * Experience caring for and handling dogs and cats of all ages * Familiar with basic training and positive reinforcement techniques * Comfortable with shy, anxious, senior, and high-energy pets * Patient, gentle, and attentive to individual needs * Reliable communication and dependable care As someone who works from home, I have the flexibility to incorporate pet care naturally into my daily routine. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, exercise, and supervision throughout the day. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, play sessions, or simply having a calm presence nearby, I can provide care tailored to their individual needs. I take pride in being reliable, responsive, and treating every pet as if they were my own. I provide calm, attentive, and individualized care based on each pet’s routine, personality, and needs. In a client’s home, I make it a priority to follow all instructions closely so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment with minimal disruption. This includes feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and plenty of companionship and affection. I pay close attention to body language and behavior so I can respond appropriately to each pet’s comfort level; whether they are energetic, shy, anxious, or senior. I aim to create a safe, relaxed atmosphere where pets feel secure and cared for. If caring for pets in my own home (when applicable), I ensure a quiet, clean, and supervised environment with consistent routines, regular outdoor breaks, enrichment, and lots of attention. Safety is always the top priority, and I only introduce new animals in a controlled and compatible way. Overall, I treat every pet as if they were my own, with patience, respect, and genuine care.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Halifax
“John is the best! He knows my dog so well and takes such good care of him, both for day care and when Muffin has stayed overnight. Muffin can be a bit anxious, and in the past has been hesitant to leave his people, but when we get to John's house Muffin is always so happy to go and play! John is also very communicative and sends great photos. Thank you John, for all your amazing care of Muffin!”
“Letícia took such great care of Bomi!! She was incredibly kind and patient with her. Bomi usually needs some time to warm up, especially when we leave her, but Letícia was so understanding of our dog’s needs. She kept us updated with pictures and Bomi looked so comfortable and happy! Her dog, Malu is super sweet too! We highly recommend Letícia if you are looking for a sitter 👍”
About: I used to have my own dog sitting/walking business. Then I had a baby so now I can only board dogs at my home. I love all animals. I am home 24/7 with my 2 kids age 4 and 2. I have had cats growing up. I have lots of experience with all breeds of dogs. We have one cat but can put in a separate room if need be. I don’t have a huge yard but we like to take walks and go to parks/fields to run around in and play catch or frisbee
“Davis was a wonderful sitter for our pup, Beau. We left Beau with Davis, her partner, and her pups for a few hours while we went to a museum and Beau seemed perfectly content when we picked him up. Thanks, Davis!”
“Thank you so much for all of the wonderful pictures and the videos of Miss Tulips day with you. I hope she was a good girl for you but thank you so much for the exceptional care and love you gave her. We will most definitely have you watched her again for us. Thank you ☺️”
“Samantha and Brian has a large backyard for my dog to roam and they took him on a nice hike in the woods. My dog had so much fun with them and their young kids. I would choose them again for a eventful daycare that my swiss shepherd definitely needs!”

About: I used to babysit for my friends, family membersand & neighbors. As well as I've had many pets of my own; cats, dogs guinea pigs, hamsters, you name it. I'm very good at handling bigger dogs. I'm very flexible when it comes to time and will work around your schedule. I'm currently home from college for spring break and my time is very open for both weekends and weekdays. My working hours start at 7am and go till 11pm. (But I can fluctuate with your schedule) I have a fenced backyard. And one very friendly small/medium dog, he's a little shy, but he gets along with everyone. I believe that our pet should be treated like family members. Walks, treats, attention and lots of love.
About: I bring a unique level of structure, energy, and reliability to pet care through my experience as a college coach. My daily work revolves around building routines, paying attention to small details, and making sure individuals are supported and performing at their best — and I carry that same approach into caring for dogs. I am highly dependable and organized, so you can trust that your dog’s schedule, feeding routine, and exercise needs will be handled consistently. I also bring an active lifestyle, which is great for dogs that need engaging walks, playtime, and attention. What sets me apart is the level of care and awareness I provide. I pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, and any changes, and I prioritize clear communication so you always feel confident while you are away. My goal is to make sure your dog feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for at all times My schedule is currently wide open following the end of the swim season, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care throughout the week and weekends. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your dog. I create a safe, comfortable environment where your pet feels secure and cared for at all times. I pay close attention to their needs, keep a watchful eye during walks, and always make sure you are updated so you can relax knowing they are in good hands.
“Sean was super easy to book and work with. Very responsive and easy drop off/pick up. He kept me updated throughout the day on how Beau was doing and sent pictures/videos of what a great time they were having. Would recommend for sure!”

About: Our family dog just moved out with my daughter, so my grandpuppy 😂. Thankfully he comes to stay regularly for extended visits! Most of my photos are of him, truly spoiled & loved. I’ve cared for animals most of my life. I’m available for walking, boarding, or checking in daily while you’re at work to feed or let out. Flexible availability, reliable and kind. I have very flexible availability for boarding, house sitting and checking in and walking. I only work 15-20 hours a week, so I’m home most of the time! Let me know your needs and I’m sure we can work something out that’s best for your pets needs. I have a smoke free, very tidy home. I live in a townhouse that is surrounded by woods and has close proximity to walking trails. You can provide a crate if needed for boarding. I will welcome gentle, people-friendly dogs, who are house & potty trained only. No overly dirty or muddy dogs please! Thanks for your understanding.
“I feel so lucky to have found Sofie and Teryn! They took such great care of my two dogs for the whole day. I was thrilled to get pictures right away and throughout the day while I was gone.

“Sawyer does great walking Eli. He just adores her. She’s very professional and great about checking in and sending pics!! Thank you Sawyer for taking care of my baby!!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dog of many sizes and health conditions, I have had a cat for 9ish years and have cared for friend and families dogs for years. I am a student, I am relatively free but lots of work to do! I like to go on walks already! I am able to be flexible. I know how to feed animals and care for them, can follow special instructions as I know they are important. As much as I would love to care for your fur baby at my home, I cannot.
“I had a work trip and Haley was such a big help walking our pup for the week while I was away. She was very communicative, accommodating, and sent updates everyday. We would definitely ask for her help to care for our pup in the future!”
“Lilly was great to work with, as well as reliable and responsive to a small last l-minute adjustment. I loved getting the photos of Trina. I will definitely ask Lilly to care for Trina again!”
About: Growing up in Vermont on a farm, I have been exposed to animals my entire life. I have been taking care of family and friends dogs, horses, cats, guinea pigs, camels (yes, camels) since I was allowed to leave the driveway on my bike as a child. Since leaving high school I took on a professional equestrian career with Wichita riding academy working with rehabilitating abused/ off the track race horses. I have just recently moved to Denver with a fenced in yard and lots of space. I have a dog of my own that is my entire pride and joy who loves spending time with other dogs. Having a fenced in yard, it’s very helpful and handy to those pups with bladder issues to go in and out of the house as needed. My home was completely childproof when I moved in and it’s so far worked for dogs as well. Huge open field located next to the house available for dogs who like to run as well.
About: I volunteered for 1.5 years at a shelter in Montana and most recently worked at a doggie daycare/boarding facility as a handler and trainer for approximately a year. I personally have been a dog owner since 2013 (not including family dogs growing up). I have experience with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and demeanors. I have extensive hands-on training in reading dog body language. I am particularly well-versed in building a good relationship with nervous/fearful dogs. I treat every dog as if they were my own pet! I’m currently working full-time and looking to do pet care on the side. My schedule can vary from week to week but we can figure out what works best for both of our schedules. I always respect a dog’s boundaries and never do anything that they are uncomfortable with. I am a very confident handler and that helps in building a trusting relationship with a new dog. Even if the dog immediately wants to be my best friend, I let them come to me and I let them set the tone and pace. The most important thing with any dog is patience and not forcing them into a situation that could be stressful for them. I have successfully trained two dogs that I adopted with behavioral issues including reactivity to other dogs & people, and resource guarding. I believe in positive reinforcement ALWAYS. If a correction is needed I use a firm but calm voice, and praise when the inappropriate behavior stops. You can rest assured that I will never do anything to harm your beloved pet.
“Michael is an amazing dog walker for Theo. He is always available for us, even if it’s only a day or so warning and Theodore absolutely adores him. He sends photo updates to me which makes me so happy to see Theo when I’m gone from work! Thank you Michael!!!”
About: I have over 10 years of pet care experience including walks, overnight stays, and short visits. I also grew up with dogs and have lived with a few different cats in my adult life. I am new to the Rover app but am happy to provide references upon request. I work Monday-Friday 11-5 in Brattleboro. I can do overnights any day of the week, but just know that on these days I will be away for 6-7 hours depending on distance from your house. I love taking dogs on long walks and can do so 2-3 times a day. I am super communicative and experienced at house sitting while pet sitting. I am very respectful of people's homes and pets' routines. I will make sure to keep your house as clean - and your pet as happy - as you left them.
“Allison was great with my dog Churro. It’s always nerve wracking leaving your house keys and beloved pet with a stranger! After a meet and greet, Allison agreed to walk and feed Churro while I was out of town. She was responsible, accountable and also flexible with a last minute request. Churro seemed happy and well cared for upon my return. I will be calling on Allison again in the near future for help with walking and caring for Churro!”
About: Dogs have and will always be a huge part of my life. We got our first family dog when I was just 3 years old and the rest is history.

We prefer to do this for safety as well as enabling the best care possible for your pet. Your pets will be my top priority & my main focus when they stay with us! I feel pretty confident that they will get more quality time, attention & lovin with me then any other pet sitter!

We have a large property (about 30 acres) surrounded by woods with lots of room for your dog to run and explore. We also live near some great hiking trails.
About: Reliable and responsible cat and dog lover, I've been fostering dogs for over a year and have successfully placed 9 foster dogs. I've also helped take care of friend's and family's pets my whole life and I take dog training seriously. My pet care schedule is fairly flexible at the moment due to recent life changes. Please reach out with your questions and pet care needs! I have a livestock fence for supervised zoomies with fence-respecting dogs. My dog, Licorice, is playful and well-socialized, 2 dog-savvy cats and I often have a foster dog or 2 living with me.
“Kate is sooo wonderful! It was my first time looking for a sitter and i was worried because I never left my dog with someone that’s not my family members or friends but my Bella took to her right away and gets so excited to see her. Kate is very responsive to texts and keeps me posted with photos I feel so much at ease knowing that my pup is well looked after. Thank you Kate for taking such a good care of my dog while I was away 🙏🏻”
“Sam and her family took excellent care of my two dogs! Communication was top-notch, and I loved to see how happy and well cared for they were. They came home content and tired, which is the best review of all. It’s clear they had a great time in your beautiful spot in the forest. Thank you so much, Sam! 🤩”
“James did a fantastic job caring for Summer for a week! He sent updates and did such fun things with her. She came home super relaxed and happy. I hope to book James again next time I need boarding for Summer!”
“Alicia and her sweet family welcomed Ollie into their home for a 10 day stay. This was Ollie's first stay away from home and Alicia did her best to make him feel safe and comfortable during his stay. Upon pickup he was healthy and happy - would not hesitate to book again!”
“Pepper stayed with Laura for 3 nights while we went away. We felt at ease leaving her, knowing she would be well taken care of. We were not wrong. When we went to pick her up I could tell she had made a new friend and was comfortable with Laura. I am so thankful we picked Laura to take care of Pepper.❤️”
“Hey Trishul. Sorry for the delayed review, but I wanted to give you a shoutout for taking care of Chewie over Thanksgiving break! 🐾 First off, the whole "allowed on furniture" deal was a game-changer. Coming home to a happy pup chilling on the couch was a big win in my book. Thanks for being cool about that! I also loved that Chewie was never alone in the house. It's like she had her own vacation away from home. Knowing she had constant company definitely eased my mind while I was away. And that picture you took? Genius move. The fridge magnet was such a thoughtful touch. Every time I reach for the milk, I get a little reminder of the good times Chewie had with you. Thanks again for everything! You're officially Chewie's favorite person (and mine too, of course). Cheers, Brya.”
