“Nicholas took great care of Ava. He was very personable and friendly and was communicative and easy-going especially around drop off and pick up details. Would use him again and highly recommend!”
“We are happy to have found Sonya on Rober. Our dog was immediately comfortable and that is rare. She took great care of her, sent messages on how she was doing and pictures. Sonya took a lot of stress away with her relaxed atmosphere and warm greeting. I cannot express the gratitude as she has given us a safe place for our dog to stay while we are put exploring this area.”
“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.”
“John was super prompt in responding to my initial query about dog-sitting, and incredibly communicative while we were away. It was wonderful to receive daily pictures of my dog running around in his yard with his dogs. I recommend wholeheartedly!!!”
“Sarah took such good care of Sammy, our sweet 13 year old golden retriever, during her first stay. Sammy was happy and relaxed when we picked her up, and clearly had a fun enjoyable stay. Sammy and Sarah’s golden, Maple, got along great, allowing Sammy to make another friend. We’ll definitely use Sarah again. Thank you!”
About: I will provide a on-the-ready daycare/check-in service. Check in's will include play time engagement, spending time with them if they have been alone, walks, administer medicine if need be, and overall quality check in. I can provide these services at a moments notice with being local to Burlington, and can also provide these services over an extended period of time to suite your schedule. Daily check in's can last anywhere from 30 mins to one hour, depending on your needs. I work full time but my schedule is flexible. I have watched and cared for multiple family friends cats and dogs since my teens, as well as now helping colleagues watch their pets while traveling out of town. My experience ranges from the simple check in's; walks, playtime, feeding - to administering shots, ear spray, tic and flea medicine, etc. I currently work a hybrid schedule Mon-Thurs in office and half-day Fridays from home, moving back to full-day Friday's from home come fall. Even when in office, my schedule is flexible and I am out of work by 4pm, and can step out quick if need be throughout the day, making sudden pop-in visits easy for me. And making scheduled visits even easier. I live on a quieter street and my apartment is set back from the road, giving peace of mind when out on walks or in the yard. Crating is always an option if you are more comfortable and familiar with that.
“Christina was amazing! She took care of our small pup, Hazel, for 5 days and did a fantastic job. We felt completely at ease knowing Hazel was safe and well cared for in Christina’s hands. She sent us daily updates and photos, which made us feel so connected even while we were away. It’s clear that Christina truly loves animals and goes above and beyond to make sure they’re happy and comfortable. We couldn’t recommend her more highly!”
“Rowan and family took great care of Cooper would definitely have him watch cooper again, He sent me pictures and messages on how cooper was doing Thanks again for taking care of my dog🐾🦴”
“Christina was an excellent host to Curie, our 8yr old female Labradane ! She was very accommodating and communicated often on how our dog was doing. She spent quality time to get to know her better and make her feel at home. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a 'home away from home' for their four-legged family members!”
“Jyotidipta and his family took exceptional care of Luna. From the start, they were warm, flexible, and incredibly accommodating. Luna can be a bit anxious when meeting someone new, but they handled it with patience and care, making sure she felt safe and at ease within just a few hours. Their home environment is attentive and engaging. Jyotidipta’s son played a big role in keeping Luna active and happy, with plenty of playtime, exercise, and walks throughout the day. I especially appreciated the regular updates. The photos and videos gave me full peace of mind and showed just how much attention and affection she was receiving. It’s clear Luna was not just looked after, but genuinely cared for. I would confidently recommend Jyotidipta to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful caregiver.”
“Victoria and her family did a wonderful job watching our dog! They made her feel right at home and set my mind at ease while we were gone on vacation. We will definitely contact them again in the future!”
“Julia was AWESOME. In fact, I worried that our dog, Tucker, would end up preferring to stay with her rather than come home with us! She watched our very enthusiastic 1.5 year old golden retriever for the weekend, and took him on hikes, had him splashing in brooks and meeting goats. She was easy to get in touch with, accepted our last minute booking (including squeezing in a meet and greet prior) and sent great photos. 10/10 recommend!!”
“Catherine was an amazing pet sitter! Joey had a great time with her, and I loved receiving lots of photos and videos while I was away. I honestly think Joey enjoyed his time with her just as much as she enjoyed having him. Catherine was flexible, responded promptly to messages, and made the whole experience stress-free. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.”
“Couldn’t imagine better care! I boarded my pup with Michele for a few days, and she was super communicative, flexible and kind. I could tell my pup felt comfortable with her right away. Would recommend her in a heartbeat!”
“Ruchi took such wonderful care of Fred and gave us lots of updates. He really enjoyed her lovely fenced in yard! Can’t wait to book with her again! We can’t recommend her enough!”
“Brooke was great! Sent us texts and pics of Cosette and assured us Cosette was doing well! Difficult to find a pet sitter that you feel very comfortable with and know that your beloved pet is in good hands! We did!!!”
“Great communication and wonderful accommodations for our senior pup. Sent photos daily. Exceedingly kind demeanor (if I was local, no doubt I would grab a beer with him). We really appreciate that he sits one dog at a time.”
“Well all I have to say is wow. What a wonderful experience. Best sitter ever. I had used 2 other folks on Rover before and both were not good. She communicated and gave my pup good attention and love. Would highly recommend this sitter”
“Laura and her family were very warm, welcoming and accommodating to my schedule. Rocky spent a week at her house and she was great with pictures and messages. Highly recommended!!”

“Kirby was excellent in all ways! She sent daily pictures of our cat and he was extremely well cared for while we were away. We returned home to an immaculate home - she even washed her sheets and towels and made the bed she slept in. Would not hesitate to recommend her, but before you hire her, she has to clear the dates with us as we want "first rights"! Kirby is awesome!”
About: My aunts and friends have always had dogs, so growing up I had a lot of experience with a wide variety of animals. I’ve helped my aunt train her excited Chocolate Lab puppy, taken care of my friend’s barky, 11 pound Mini Pinscher while they were away, and helped feed, walk, and play with my own household’s anxious, raw diet mut, Sheila. I know how to love and take care of any type of dog—from loudly outgoing to shy! I just finished my sophomore year of college and am looking to help care for anyone’s pets this summer. My schedule is open, so I am flexible to visit your pet whenever you need! I will gladly take your dog on a nice long walk and play with them around your backyard to release any pent up energy! Inside, I’m also up for playing with toys and giving lots of pets!
About: I have owned and cared for cats for more than 30 years. I have experience giving medications, and have cleaned all types of litter systems. I am able to spend time with your cats or just do drop in's. You decide.
About: In the last decade+ I've taken care of nearly a dozen cats for friends and through word-of-mouth, and I always had cats (and dogs) around growing up. My parents' three rescue cats are still my sweeties. In the past I volunteered at an animal shelter, where my favorite thing to do was hang out with the cats and help socialize them. I have a calm, gentle demeanor that even shy, skittish cats usually come to trust.
“Wonderful care from Kristy! She is very thorough and sends great updates every day and spends extra time with the kitties, too. My pets love her and I felt great knowing they were so well cared for during my time away. Will 100% book again!”
“Alma has been wonderful! She has done drop in visits for my two cats and they love her. Both of my cats require inhalers and she was great at following instructions and administering their medication. Alma shows up on time and always provides photos of her visit. My cats are happiest at home and I'm so glad she helps make that possible!”
About: Relationship with animals has always been a passion of mine. I started grooming dogs with my grandmother at the age of 10, but was her assistant long before I earned the title. It brings me joy and fulfillment to care for pups and cats alike, while creating an environment where they (and you) can feel safe and earn my trust in the process. As a part time bartender at Pascolo Restaurant in Downtown Burlington, it would fit into my schedule to walk dogs in the morning, afternoon and early evening as well as weekends. There is a lot of freedom to work around your schedule :) In my home, I live off of Main Street in Vergennes and can provide safe walking around town as well as some of the trails near by. In your home, I am quick to adapt to whatever will make you most comfortable!
About: I have actively been taking care of dogs since I was a teenager, and in doing so I have worked with a variety of breeds, sizes, and dog of different ages. My manner of minding focuses on building a connection with the dog while uniquely understanding the breed and the specific needs they may need met. I'm very active and thus great with dogs who are looking to get in shape or have high energy levels. I have experience working with dogs who have been abused or neglected and re-socialising them. My home is large enough for multiple dogs of many sizes to be comfortable in as well as a short walk away from multiple parks. Both mornings as well nights are currently available Monday-Sunday.
“Janet is fantastic! She’s friendly, communicative, and a true animal lover — plus, she left our apartment absolutely spotless. We’ve already rebooked her for more house-sitting and cat care!”
“Beatrice took great care of our elderly, special-needs kitty. She was responsive, kept in touch, and was flexible with timing, even enabling a last-minute change of date due to an ice storm. She respected our home and left our kitty happy and home clean. Will definitely schedule another!”
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Mara. She did twice daily drop ins and walks with my 3 Australian shepherds and kitty in my camper and followed all my crazy routines/ niche camper instructions to a T. She was timely, communicative and I know my babies were loved on in my absence. My trip ended up being delayed >30 hours and ended up with 3 additional checkins. Mara and her flexibility are the only reason I stayed sane throughout my ordeal- knowing above all my family was taken care of. 10/10. I would recommend Mara to anyone looking for peace of mind any time they need to leave town!”
“Karen was absolutely wonderful with my two cats. She stayed in my house with them for over a week during Christmas and New Years, was a great communicator, kept me updated with photos, and I felt very reassured leaving my pets with someone so responsible. Upon my return everything was tidy, the cats were well fed with extra food and water laid out, and litter boxes cleaned. It was a great experience and so wonderful having her take care of them while I was away so I could relax and enjoy my vacation worry free.”
About: I have had dogs in my life since I can remember, from family dogs to dog sitting for friends in high school, to now owning my own two little creatures. I am knowledgeable and comfortable with high-anxiety dogs and leash-reactive dogs (one of mine is both of these and more!) and am comfortable and confident with all sizes, breeds, and ages. There's nothing better than plugging into a good podcast and taking a nice, long walk with a furry friend. I have experience with all types of dogs, especially bully breed dogs (pit bulls, boxers, etc) and everything from high anxiety dogs to puppies to elder care dogs. I can administer oral medication, and have given humans shots before so with some owner coaching, would definitely be comfortable administering injected medication if needed. I'm currently working part time, so I have lots of time to take your pup on a walk during the day or hang with them while you’re out of town. I live in Burlington, VT, but I'm willing to travel. I am happy to come to your home where your dog is already comfortable and familiar. Having two dogs who have utilized Rover for this reason, I believe it is the best option for some high-anxiety dogs not to be put into an unfamiliar situation when their parents are gone. I am also available for drop in visits and/or neighborhood walks during the weekday! There’s nothing better than plugging in a podcast and taking a long walk with a pup!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats all throughout my childhood and have taken care of a couple dogs full time over the years. I am experienced mostly with dogs but I am familiar with cat care. I work nights in the Burlington area so I can work around most schedules and prefer afternoon work for walking. If you need house visits I can work with you on a good schedule. I will follow your directions to a T and will transport animals as needed for walks/hikes. I will treat them as my own as I don’t have any pets and miss having animals around.
About: *PRIVATELY INSURED✅ *CPR CERTIFIED/FIRST AID TRAINED 🩹 ***Please be sure to look through my entire profile, photo album and reviews before reaching out, thank you!*** Growing up in a small town in Vermont, where there were more cows than people, I developed a passion for all animals early on. I spent my summers in high school working with horses before working at my first dog daycare and haven’t stopped working with dogs since! Over the last decade, I have worked at well-regarded animal care companies in Vermont and around the Boston area and recently transitioned from a top-rated dog training/off leash hiking company to providing private, full-time dog care services. Fun facts about me: •I love sharks ◡̈ •I went to school for Graphic Design Serving Middlebury and adjacent communities, my mission revolves around the care and enrichment of my furry friends so I will be with your pup at all times! As someone who has worked with countless animals with many different personalities, making each one feel safe and welcome is most important to me. It is my job to create a clean, safe and fun environment. Your dog will have access to my fully fenced in private back yard with my supervision throughout their stay! I understand that every animal has different needs and desires and I will do everything to make sure your furry family member is comfortable!

“Christina agreed to M&G for us while we vacationed in Vermont. A day of doggy daycare was arranged. We've had the Beagles up and down during our vacation. Riley needed a day to play with friends. Roxie just needed a day to relax. Great day for all.”
About: I've had dogs since I was born, have worked in shelters and keep raising my own puppy dog. I give dogs multiple walks and play with them. If necessary I take them hiking, play fetch outdoor and give them lots of love an attention. I will make your dog feel like family and help with any training that you're working on. I would love to have many digs but at the moment we can only afford one as we travel through occasionally. I work from home Monday through Friday so I am there 24/7 to support and hang out with your pet. We usually do at least a morning walk, lunch quick outing and afternoon longer walk. Our home has an unfenced yard. I will walk your pet on a leash through our trails. I will follow your pet’s schedule and they will be allowed in the open house including couch and bed if that is part of their lifestyle.
“River always has a great time with Rosan and Auggie! Rosan was very communicative and I received multiple pictures throughout the day. Always feel totally comfortable leaving River with Rosan.”
“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!”
About: I grew up with many animals, both my own pets, and animals on my grandfather's dairy farm (he was also a vet). I live in the country in Richmond, and have cats, young kids and animals Rover won't let me name in the description...but they provide eggs. We have dogs in our "extended family" and we are well accustomed to dogs but we do not have one ourselves at this time. If your dog is 100% safe with those people and pets and well-behaved, let's talk! Independently insured. We enjoy hosting dogs, and are home most days of the week for most of the day. We enjoy walking with dogs and playing fetch (if dogs like to do that) on our hill in our yard. We would need to do a meet & greet to make sure it is a good match. Our yard is not fenced, and we are on a dirt road in the country with woods on the property and surrounding it, so dogs should not be prone to bolting etc. They must be 100% safe with young kids, cats and free range egg producers. No aggressive or reactive dogs please.
“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!”
“My Inuka had a wonderful day - played with Echo and came home tired and happy. Jacob was so kind and accomodating when I dropped my baby off at 6AM. Really grateful for the warm care.”
“Chloe is so amazing and accommodating! Last minute I couldn’t pick up my dog due to work circumstances, and she offered to keep him overnight with no issue(: My dog loved her and I will definitely use her services again!”
“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.”

“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.”
About: I am an enthusiastic and passionate sitter who will provide great care for your pets! I love being around and interacting with all different types of animals. Over the years I’ve pet sit for many different types of animals including dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, bunnies, rats, chickens and even a chameleon :). I volunteer at the humane society every weekend where I provide care for small animals and cats as well as walk dogs. I have a puppy named Ellie who my boyfriend and I rescued. She's adorable but she has all that puppy energy. I can wait to care for your animals and I hope to establish a relationship and spend quality time with each pet I watch or walk. I am a Cellular molecular and biomedical science PhD student at UVM. Currently I am working from home writing my thesis so I have a lot of flexibility with scheduling. I will not be offering boarding but will be happy to stay with your pets at your house so they can stay in an environment they are comfortable in.
“What a gem Chris is! Super kind and responsive and did a terrific job caring for our Yorkie for the day. His place is clean and our little guy felt comfortable right away. We will be sure to book him again the next time we’re in Burlington. Thanks Chris!”
“Darian is awesome. She's dogsat Frida a bunch of times this winter, and she takes great care of her, takes her for walks, and feeds her when I'm out during meal times. She's communicative, on time, and always keeps me up to date on how the day is going, which is so great for peace of mind. Very happy and grateful that's she's able to watch Frida!”
“Danielle was amazing! Her little spot for furry friends was fantastic. We got our new pup in October and wanted some support during the days we were skiing in VT. Our Piper had the most amazing time. She was excited to go each day and came home tired and happy. We would definitely hook again when in the area.”

About: I have spent my whole life with pets and love to spend time with animals! I've been pet sitting the past 10 years part-time for friends, family and neighbors. I work remotely, allowing for flexibility for dog walks and house sitting. I work remotely and my schedule is relatively flexible, so I'm available for walks, drop in or house sitting pretty easily! With a little notice, I can work from your home and care for pets full-time, or stop by for walks as needed. I don't currently have any pets of my own, so your pet(s) will get all my attention. I like to communicate with the owners ahead of time to discuss their pet's schedule and needs (food, meds, length of walk, etc.)

“Alyson is always amazing with our dogs! I had a total lapse and forgot to book her for a work stretch, and I reached out, and she was at my house within an hour. We’re so thankful to have found her, and our boys are always so happy on the days they get her walks!”

About: I’ve loved animals my entire life and would love to be a companion for your pets! Young to senior, low to high energy I’m there! I also have experience with reactive dogs, as my girl Olive is still finding her confidence as a previous stray and working on her leash reactivity! I work full time as a registered nurse and have every Monday off and then every other week off. I’m pretty flexible! Let me know what you need! Although I can’t care for your pets in my home, I can offer dog-walking, drop in playtime/hangouts, enrichment games and even take your pup hiking if you’d like!
About: I grew up around animals of all kinds on a farm and had the privilege of owning and loving our dog, Betty Lou for 14 years. I work from home and am looking for ways to make extra money while staying active and fitting in with my kids' school schedule (9 am-3 PM).

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.
About: I've had dogs and cats my whole life and would like a side job where I can help myself and also help someone else. It's hard to find rewarding jobs that fit with your 9 - 5 and I'm hoping I can find something like that here. I'm really good with all animals, and love children (which is good when you walk dogs kids always try to pet them). I'm loving, kind, reliable and have a flexible schedule. I'm open to whatever is needed and want to build a stable relationship for the dog owners who select me to help them out. I also have a degree in psychology and my family still has pets, I get to help with them as well lucky for me :) I work remote from home so I'm available all the time, which is great for pet care! My schedule is very flexible and can take lots of breaks as needed. I live alone with no pets so it's the perfect spot to board animals. I also have no problem staying at your home if that is what is needed.

About: Now offering adventure daycare (pick up and drop off service and hiking during the day) and boarding in my home which includes adventure daycare.... Over 16 years training, walking and exercising high energy dogs. I have extensive experience with working dogs, special needs dogs and have certifications in dog obedience and other disciplines. I am licensed as a public school teacher and fully background checked. Contact me for the best care. Boarding and adventure daycare is my speciality. I have limited drop in availability. Dog walking and exercising is my full-time job. I want to provide a concierge service that makes it easiest for you to take your time back and be well. Your wellness is key to your dog being well. My joy for this profession started when I couldn't find a trusted sitter and dog walker for my own animal. I decided to provide that service to others so they wouldn't have the same problem. I give love, attention and exercise to your family member as if they were my own. I am a licensed public school educator who is fully background checked with glowing references that can be provided.
About: I’ve had animals of all kinds my whole life including dogs, cats, horses, fish, turtles and bunnies. I know how important it is to know that your pets are safe when you're away and I strive to provide the same kind of love & care I would expect for my own fur babies when I travel. I work from home so my schedule is pretty flexible which makes it easy to provide pet care. My life is pretty laid back so I find that I have the free time to offer services! For my own kitties, Calvin & Hobbes, I feed them on a pretty regular schedule between 8am-9am and then again at 5pm-6pm. We get play time in every day and snuggling in every other hour. They are my #1 priority and I would make your pets #1 priority when providing care services in the home. This would involve feeding, water changes, litter scooping by request, dog walking, play time, affection and whatever your pets needs are!

“Sarah took such good care of Sammy, our sweet 13 year old golden retriever, during her first stay. Sammy was happy and relaxed when we picked her up, and clearly had a fun enjoyable stay. Sammy and Sarah’s golden, Maple, got along great, allowing Sammy to make another friend. We’ll definitely use Sarah again. Thank you!”
About: I will provide a on-the-ready daycare/check-in service. Check in's will include play time engagement, spending time with them if they have been alone, walks, administer medicine if need be, and overall quality check in. I can provide these services at a moments notice with being local to Burlington, and can also provide these services over an extended period of time to suite your schedule. Daily check in's can last anywhere from 30 mins to one hour, depending on your needs. I work full time but my schedule is flexible. I have watched and cared for multiple family friends cats and dogs since my teens, as well as now helping colleagues watch their pets while traveling out of town. My experience ranges from the simple check in's; walks, playtime, feeding - to administering shots, ear spray, tic and flea medicine, etc. I currently work a hybrid schedule Mon-Thurs in office and half-day Fridays from home, moving back to full-day Friday's from home come fall. Even when in office, my schedule is flexible and I am out of work by 4pm, and can step out quick if need be throughout the day, making sudden pop-in visits easy for me. And making scheduled visits even easier. I live on a quieter street and my apartment is set back from the road, giving peace of mind when out on walks or in the yard. Crating is always an option if you are more comfortable and familiar with that.
“Rowan and family took great care of Cooper would definitely have him watch cooper again, He sent me pictures and messages on how cooper was doing Thanks again for taking care of my dog🐾🦴”
“Christina was an excellent host to Curie, our 8yr old female Labradane ! She was very accommodating and communicated often on how our dog was doing. She spent quality time to get to know her better and make her feel at home. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a 'home away from home' for their four-legged family members!”
“Jyotidipta and his family took exceptional care of Luna. From the start, they were warm, flexible, and incredibly accommodating. Luna can be a bit anxious when meeting someone new, but they handled it with patience and care, making sure she felt safe and at ease within just a few hours. Their home environment is attentive and engaging. Jyotidipta’s son played a big role in keeping Luna active and happy, with plenty of playtime, exercise, and walks throughout the day. I especially appreciated the regular updates. The photos and videos gave me full peace of mind and showed just how much attention and affection she was receiving. It’s clear Luna was not just looked after, but genuinely cared for. I would confidently recommend Jyotidipta to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful caregiver.”
“Julia was AWESOME. In fact, I worried that our dog, Tucker, would end up preferring to stay with her rather than come home with us! She watched our very enthusiastic 1.5 year old golden retriever for the weekend, and took him on hikes, had him splashing in brooks and meeting goats. She was easy to get in touch with, accepted our last minute booking (including squeezing in a meet and greet prior) and sent great photos. 10/10 recommend!!”
“Catherine was an amazing pet sitter! Joey had a great time with her, and I loved receiving lots of photos and videos while I was away. I honestly think Joey enjoyed his time with her just as much as she enjoyed having him. Catherine was flexible, responded promptly to messages, and made the whole experience stress-free. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.”
“Couldn’t imagine better care! I boarded my pup with Michele for a few days, and she was super communicative, flexible and kind. I could tell my pup felt comfortable with her right away. Would recommend her in a heartbeat!”
“Ruchi took such wonderful care of Fred and gave us lots of updates. He really enjoyed her lovely fenced in yard! Can’t wait to book with her again! We can’t recommend her enough!”
“Brooke was great! Sent us texts and pics of Cosette and assured us Cosette was doing well! Difficult to find a pet sitter that you feel very comfortable with and know that your beloved pet is in good hands! We did!!!”
“Great communication and wonderful accommodations for our senior pup. Sent photos daily. Exceedingly kind demeanor (if I was local, no doubt I would grab a beer with him). We really appreciate that he sits one dog at a time.”
“Well all I have to say is wow. What a wonderful experience. Best sitter ever. I had used 2 other folks on Rover before and both were not good. She communicated and gave my pup good attention and love. Would highly recommend this sitter”
“Laura and her family were very warm, welcoming and accommodating to my schedule. Rocky spent a week at her house and she was great with pictures and messages. Highly recommended!!”
“The ultimate pet sitter! Deborah is amazing in her attention to every dog trait and instantly creates rapport with the dog. Her place is perfect for dog care with a fenced area for outdoor fun. Deborah is a blessing.”
“Liz and Hayden did an awesome job caring for our two dogs. They have a great property for them to run around. They were in close contact and we felt at ease the whole time being away.”
