“This was our second booking with Stephanie. She was very accommodating with our dog. It was so helpful that she dropped the dog at our home just as we arrived back home. Our dog arrived happy and well cared for. Stephanie has been reliable, a good communicator, and flexible with each of our bookings. We couldn't ask for a better fit!!”
“Nancy is so pleasant and kind. Watson came back happy and tired - all good signs! If we are ever in the area again, we would not hesitate to ask Nancy to watch Watson again. And what a view!!”
“Sadie was sooo wonderful!! She was extremely accommodating for a last minute booking. She provided updates throughout the day and my baby looked so happy and comfortable, so much that when I went to pick him up, he was happy with staying there to play more! Thank you so much for taking such great care of my boy!!”
“Meli had the best time with Deirdre - who takes such great care of her during her stays. We loved the photos and updates over the weekend. Meli will definitely be back soon!!”
“I was in town for a wedding and had to board my almost 5 month old puppy which was nerve wracking for me as he is quite young and a small dog. Hope took excellent care of my little guy and communicated often. She made me feel at ease and I would definitely recommend her.”
About: I have pet and house-sat a lot through out my life, I love making new animal friends!! I have experience giving medication, bathing, walking, hiking and chilling with both 🐈 and 🐕. I live in Bomoseen and work in Middlebury, if you need a drop in while you go out on the lake or need to take a day trip, I’m your girl! I have time to get your pets outside and active, and to give them lots of attention. I’m an extremely reliable, punctual person. I’m also quite tidy, should you need an overnight sitter, your place will be almost identical to how you left it.
“Desiree was amazing with my dog Ellie! She kept me updated with texts and pictures and even gave her a bath! I would 100 percent recommend her to care for your pet!! I’ll definitely be booking with her again !”
About: I have grown up with several dogs and cats that I have taken care of. My dad is also a dog trainer, so I often go out on walks and play with the dogs he cares for. I am very active, so your pets will never be bored! My schedule varies biweekly, so I am home every other week. The weeks I am off i have lots of free time, so I can be very flexible. The weeks I do have to work, I work nights, so I can be free during the afternoons for walks or drop-ins. I live without children, so your pets will be my priority. I have a fenced in yard for your pets to play in! I do own two cats and share my mom’s small dog part time, so i prefer pets that are friendly with other animals! If your pet needs to be crated I can accommodate that, but I also allow pets on furniture and on the bed if that is what they are used to at home. I am very flexible and am willing to accommodate most things to make your pets feel comfortable.
“Carrie was very flexible when I had a family situation and had to modify my time request. She sent photos of the dogs and reached out when she was concerned about them not eating. When I arrived for pick up, she had everything ready for me. I will definitely use her services again and would highly recommend her.”
“Alex and her family took such great care of my Harley who has a lot of separation anxiety. Plenty of update pics to ease the mind! Will definitely be continuing to put Harley in their care for the future. Thank you!!”
“From the first contact Kennadi was very responsive and accomodating. We are very selective about who we have watch our dog and were very comfotable with Kennadi and her husband Tyler. You can tell they are real animal lovers and very caring. We would definitely use them again.”
“Mikaela was really great! She was gracious to watch our pup while we attended a wedding nearby and was extremely communicative leading up and throughout his stay! We would absolutely book with Mikaela again.”
“Inge was very responsive, sent pictures of our boy every day, was reasonable in pricing and her own was very clean! She allowed us to have a stress free time away, knowing our dog was safe and cared for!”
“A Big Shout Out to Brittney for taking care of our Finley for his first weekend away from home. We were a little nervous since our dog has some separation issues. But she kept us updated through text and photos and he looked like he had a great time with her and her cutie dog Pierre. Dogs got along well and our boy looked relaxed which in turn let us know we made the right choice when picking Brittney. We will definitely call her again for future help.. Thanks Brittney!!!”
“Recommend 100%. Karly is very kind, wonderful with our Sheena and another dog in her care. Managed them both lovely and clearly has fantastic knowlege and care with taking care of both pups. Sheena looked to have a great time. Very appriciate of faboulous pictures.”
“My bluetick coonhound Perci stayed with Andrea while I was with friends for the week at lake George. Unfortunately there were no dogs allowed. Perci loved Andrea. I knew he was in good hands when I took him out for a day hike to Buck Mountain and Andrea came to get him at our rental. He greeted her as he greets people he loves. He jumped on her and then happily into her car. He didn’t even turn around to me to say goodbye.”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats ranging from under one year to 14 years of age. I have administered medication for dogs and cats (orally and via shot). I have provided care for extremely social dogs and anxious pups—I am confident in my ability to provide connection and care.I have also taken care of chickens and am comfortable doing so. I have been living with a golden retriever puppy for the last two years so I’m eager to spend time with some pups of kittens! I am a middle school teacher on summer break. My schedule for July is empty!!! I need work in July before going back to school. Trying to save up to get my own pup… I am unfortunately not available to host dogs at my house since I am living with my parents. I am 24 years old and that’s a bit too much of an ask. Thank you for understanding.

“Tara-lynn was amazing! She stayed at my house with my two kittens and gave great updates! She came out before I left so she could meet the cats and get the lay of the land. She was also very flexible with my schedule. I would 100% have Tara-lynn stay with my babies again!!”
“Meghan was great! The last time we hired a walker, one of our pups didn’t walk. He wouldn’t leave the house and we had to call in a favor from family. We asked Meghan to meet the dogs and cat before her first walk, and we found her to be calm, polite, and very pleasant around the dogs. They warmed up to her immediately. While we were gone, she walked the dogs twice a day, including the one who was socially anxious. Our house looked great when we got home and the animals were in very good spirits. We will definitely use Meghan again!”
“Mollie was the best cat sitter ever!!! She really took care of my babies! Mollie went over and beyond like washing the sheets when they threw up and creating warm fun spots for them. I definitely recommend Mollie!”
“Bayleigh was so warm, communicative, and reliable! She made sure I was able to reach her anytime and sent me detailed notes and photos daily. She went out of her way to make me feel comfortable and my cat was well loved and taken care of! Hopefully, Chaz and I are able to have Bayleigh back to our home again next time I’m out of town!”
About: Not everyone understands the unique and individualistic needs of our feline friends. I have always appreciated and loved their clear boundaries and ability to communicate just how much "people time" they want. I'm adept at reading their needs and able to provide them with just the right amount of attention even if it means just being in the same room with them and vibing from afar.
About: I have over 10 years of experience in animal husbandry and veterinary care. I cared for a multitude of animals, including cats, dogs, and other exotic pets. Whether it is daily exercise, extra snuggles, or an extra zen environment, I have the experience for your furbabies. I can administer daily medications, follow complex diets, and look critically at the animals in my care to determine if veterinary assistance is needed. Pictures of your pet can be provided upon request (I usually send one even if it isn't requested but if you want more, I will provide. :) Petcare is my life 24/7. Walks, playtime, and pleasant company are the three biggest parts of daily routine. For cats, making sure they have adequate creature comforts and, if the cat enjoys the attention, plenty of interaction with yours truly. I try to maintain your pets stability by sticking to your routine and habits to ensure your pet is as comfortable as possible. We will follow your schedule so they know what to expect throughout our interaction.
“Tessa is so wonderful! Our dogs did extremely well with her for her 1st time meeting them. We appreciated her patience with the boys, and that she came from the distance that she did to meet and get to know them.”
About: My family and I have had cats and dogs my whole life. I cannot have pets in my apartment. But I would love to care for yours like they were my own. I’m available evenings and weekends. I Work full time. I can do overnight stays on weekends. I live in Vermont but and can go as far as Lake George. I don’t have pets. But I would be clean and respectful. I would make sure to follow any rules and guidelines to avoid any accidents. Safety is my priority above all.
“Colleen was great! She came a few days before to meet my (high maintenance) cat and see the space. She was super warm and nice - I had no qualms about leaving my baby in her care. She updated me a couple times of day, with pictures! My cat was healthy and happy after she left, and the house looked great - she even took out my trash! I would (and will) 100% book Colleen again!!”
“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: 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: Common courtesy and communication is paramount. **Willing to travel up to an hour away. Just because Rover says you are outside my service area it does not always mean you are. I have clients an hour North and South of me. **Necessary update as of 6/21/23** I will require current credit card info be on file at your vet or provided for me in your pet write up ONLY in case of emergency. In the event of an emergency and I could not get a hold of the human, puppies have no pockets to hold a card, the vet required me to pay. I have raised 3 separate RESCUE Rottweilers to be exceptional ambassadors of their breed. I currently do not have any pets since my big boy passed away in 2016. I hope to again one day have my own dogs. Until then I will love YOUR pet. **I DO NOT board animals at my home. Only repeat clients would MAYBE be possible for a very short amount of time.** Clients pets have included many breeds, species for days, weeks. Many Golden Retrievers, Doodles, mixes aka Heinz57s, Old English Sheep dog, lots of kitties, a chameleon, turtles, a bearded dragon, a small bird, fish, Rottweilers, a very challenging but lovable English Bulldog and Huskies one of which was very reactive. Oh and a LOT of house plants! PLEASE NOTE: I am deathly allergic to horses which I am very sad about. Any type of animal requiring LARGE amounts of hay would also be a problem i.e, goats, cows, alpacas I am sorry to say. Small rodent animals requiring hay for food or bedding has not been a big deal. My personnel dogs were very public dogs, parks, events etc. With the ever present fact in mind that as good as my animal was it is still an animal. Never purposely putting them in a situation to be loose (unless at home or a fenced park) or get into anything that could harm them. Read quite a few books/manuals by military working dog trainers in hopes of training a service oriented Rottie. Came very close to passing the Good Citizen certification but my dogs never liked the “stay” part when I had to walk away with my back turned. They just had to be next to me. So close. PLEASE NOTE: I have my preferences set to NOT to show any photos of YOUR pet publicly. I would ask permission first to share. Photos only NEVER infomation of course. My schedule allows me to be available to be in YOUR HOME, with your pets all day/night, unless noted ahead of time and of course trips to the store. I have many types of animals that insist on sleeping in bed just like they do when their people are home which in fine by me. Just take some Benadryl and snuggle on in. I try to stick closely to how the home runs normally so the pets do not have any surprises that can make them anxious. Sleep, food, walks, play time etc. I supervise dogs in their own yard fenced or not. I am very organized and like an outlined idea of their schedule to be written down for me to follow as closely as YOU would.

“Julia and her family were wonderful sitters. When you book with Julia you aren't just getting her caring for your dog, but her two young sons, and their yellow lab, Yukon. My boy looked like he had so much fun and also had time during the day to relax. Our other sitter was not available, and Julia was super accommodating, we decided to book her again for more daycare services.”
“Desiree was amazing, she responds very quickly. My 2 month old puppy came back so exhausted and I had updates and pics throughout the day. I will recommend everyone to her! And she is worth tipping because she gave excellent service.”
About: I have over ten years of experience caring for fur babies of every kind! I grew up surrounded by animals, a passion that has blossomed in my adult years. In high school I worked in a veterinary setting where I was able to learn pet CPR & emergency skills. I am now a human mama to one baby boy who I plan to pass my love of animals onto, we practice and model gentle and respectful handling of all furry friends. I am an animal mama to two goldens, some chickens and a few cats. I work from home, so naturally, spend all my days doting on my fur babies and yours too! Your pets will always be treated with love, kindness & patience by me - whether in my home or yours! Please note: I currently have an infant so I am unable to accommodate overnight stays. However, I am able to offer early morning and late night visits, as well as up to 5-6 visits / daily while house sitting depending on your pets’ needs. Please reach out to chat more if you’re looking for house sitting services! I work a very relaxed job from home so I am able to be available to your pet 24/7 for medicine breaks, snack breaks, walks, potty breaks, and scritches! I have experience with every pet type, from Great Danes to bottle fed kittens. If your pet is staying in my home - they can enjoy our fenced in backyard or our dedicated dog loft if they need some time to decompress. Otherwise, they’ll get to hangout with my family 24/7 which includes my two golden retrievers, Franklin & Jasper. Franklin & Jasper have never met a dog they didn’t LOVE. For peace of mind, our dogs will never be fed in the same space as your pet(s). We always welcome you to come see our home and meet Franklin & Jasper before your scheduled drop off date so that you can feel confident and stress free while out of town. If I am watching your pet within your home, my visits are extremely flexible. I am able to accommodate feeding and walk schedules seamlessly.
“Andrea was the best with our pups Loki and Rocky. Can’t thank her enough for her kindness from the get go she was so accommodating and understanding of our pups needs. Very communicative and actively kept me updated throughout the day. Definitely will ask Andrea to take care of our dogs in the future. Thank you!”
“Samantha was wonderful! She was very responsive ahead of time with planning the logistics and sent multiple photos and updates during our pup’s day with her. I felt very comfortable knowing Millie was in good hands and would definitely book with her again.”
About: I love all animals!!! I really enjoy coming to your house and playing with your precious babies. I have cared for a variety of animals including dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits, birds, turtles, and yes even snakes. I’ve even experienced breeding and nurturing 11 golden retrievers (3 adults and 8 puppies) at one time. I will come to your house to LOVE, feed, water, play, brush, walk, talk to, and even car rides with your beautiful pets. I’ve also been known to mop, water your plants, retrieve your mail, and take your garbage to the street. On numerous occasions, I’ve taken on jobs in Massachusetts and Vermont as mini vacations! I have a bubbly and friendly personality that animals respond well too! Reasonable rates, flexible hours, and many satisfied customers! I am retired from the county, which allows me to provide full time care to all my fury friends! I travel distances to watch your babies and occasionally welcome your pet to stay at my house. My goal is to watch pups in their own environment. It’s always difficult when Mom and Dad go away, but they are definitely less stressed if they get to stay home. This way they can feel safe and comfortable in their own surroundings
“Hope is wonderful — warm, reliable, and genuinely caring. She kindly accepted our last-minute booking and replied very promptly. Our dog was treated so well and quickly bonded with the other two dogs in the house as well as Hope’s own dog — all of them were gentle and playful. The whole family (adults and kids) welcomed our pup, and Hope made sure they had playtime, fresh water, treats, and regular potty breaks. We felt completely comfortable leaving our dog with her and will definitely book again. Highly recommend Hope on Rover!”
“Lager had another great experience at Sheri's and Connie's home - he's a black lab velcro dog but when we picked him up, he was not excited to see us - certainly a great indicator of people he likes and experiences he had! Thank you and we'll be back!”

About: I have taken care of pets since I was a little kid! I have experience with pets of all types, ages & personalities. Friends & family have relied on me to walk, feed & housesit for their animals. I work full time time job but I have most mornings free. My schedule rotates so I would not be able to have the same availability every week, but please reach out with dates & times! I would love to make something work. I can come to your house and walk your dog. If you are interested in an overnight board at my house the dog would have to be good with my 15lb poodle mix & two cats. It would be ideal that the dog comes with a crate to stay in, as my dog is crated as well when we are out of the house. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I live near a dog park, and in a nice spot to walk dogs.
About: I’ve been pet sitting through Rover for over a year, and I’ve been fortunate to earn the trust of many wonderful pet owners. In addition to my Rover experience, I’ve spent years caring for dogs for family and friends, becoming the person they rely on when they need someone dependable. I’ve cared for my sister’s diabetic dog, carefully following medication and feeding schedules, and I’ve looked after my in-laws’ dogs while they were away, making sure they received plenty of exercise, attention, and love. I’m calm, reliable, and treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or needs extra medical care, you can feel confident knowing they’ll be safe, comfortable, and well cared for with me. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and make time for alongside my full-time job. I’m currently available during evenings and weekends, and I’m committed to giving every pet the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Whether it’s walking, feeding, playing, administering medication, or simply keeping your pet company, I provide dependable, personalized care based on their individual needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m based in the Granville area and primarily serve Granville, Hartford, and nearby Vermont communities, making it easy for me to provide reliable care close to where I live and work.

About: As a child I was always drawn to animals and their pure spirits.

I am versed in first aid for small animals and dogs. Can't forget the kitties! I have yet to meet a kitty I didn't love.

I am a stay at home/work from home mom who is looking forward to instilling a love of animals for my son as he gets older.

Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule as I tend to my rabbits, rabbit fosters, guinea pig and two dogs of my own, Selune and Rosie. I look forward to going to where your pet feels most comfortable and establishing a calm and comforting presence for them.

I am happy to take walks off your plate if you are busy at work and ensure your pet is getting the level of attention and love you would provide yourself if you could during a busy work day. I am trustworthy and neat in terms of house sitting, stick to designated areas you allow me to inhabit during the stay, and ensure your pet and your home is safe and secure while you're away.

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.

“Nancy is so pleasant and kind. Watson came back happy and tired - all good signs! If we are ever in the area again, we would not hesitate to ask Nancy to watch Watson again. And what a view!!”
“Sadie was sooo wonderful!! She was extremely accommodating for a last minute booking. She provided updates throughout the day and my baby looked so happy and comfortable, so much that when I went to pick him up, he was happy with staying there to play more! Thank you so much for taking such great care of my boy!!”
“Meli had the best time with Deirdre - who takes such great care of her during her stays. We loved the photos and updates over the weekend. Meli will definitely be back soon!!”
“I was in town for a wedding and had to board my almost 5 month old puppy which was nerve wracking for me as he is quite young and a small dog. Hope took excellent care of my little guy and communicated often. She made me feel at ease and I would definitely recommend her.”
About: I have pet and house-sat a lot through out my life, I love making new animal friends!! I have experience giving medication, bathing, walking, hiking and chilling with both 🐈 and 🐕. I live in Bomoseen and work in Middlebury, if you need a drop in while you go out on the lake or need to take a day trip, I’m your girl! I have time to get your pets outside and active, and to give them lots of attention. I’m an extremely reliable, punctual person. I’m also quite tidy, should you need an overnight sitter, your place will be almost identical to how you left it.
“Desiree was amazing with my dog Ellie! She kept me updated with texts and pictures and even gave her a bath! I would 100 percent recommend her to care for your pet!! I’ll definitely be booking with her again !”
“Carrie was very flexible when I had a family situation and had to modify my time request. She sent photos of the dogs and reached out when she was concerned about them not eating. When I arrived for pick up, she had everything ready for me. I will definitely use her services again and would highly recommend her.”
“Alex and her family took such great care of my Harley who has a lot of separation anxiety. Plenty of update pics to ease the mind! Will definitely be continuing to put Harley in their care for the future. Thank you!!”
“From the first contact Kennadi was very responsive and accomodating. We are very selective about who we have watch our dog and were very comfotable with Kennadi and her husband Tyler. You can tell they are real animal lovers and very caring. We would definitely use them again.”
“Recommend 100%. Karly is very kind, wonderful with our Sheena and another dog in her care. Managed them both lovely and clearly has fantastic knowlege and care with taking care of both pups. Sheena looked to have a great time. Very appriciate of faboulous pictures.”
“My bluetick coonhound Perci stayed with Andrea while I was with friends for the week at lake George. Unfortunately there were no dogs allowed. Perci loved Andrea. I knew he was in good hands when I took him out for a day hike to Buck Mountain and Andrea came to get him at our rental. He greeted her as he greets people he loves. He jumped on her and then happily into her car. He didn’t even turn around to me to say goodbye.”
“Laura and Tyler were great with my dog! He has pretty bad separation anxiety which makes it very difficult to leave him new places. Laura was awesome about introducing her dogs one by one and letting him get accustomed to her dogs and her home. She tried different areas to see where he would be most comfortable and really put time and effort into getting him to relax and be comfortable. She kept me up to date and make me feel a lot better about where he was and how he was doing. I would definitely use them again when we're in the Adirondacks!”
About: I have owned dogs my whole life and am a PhD student looking to use my exercise/break time taking care of your dog! Mondays to Wednesday I have open availability and Thursday to Sundays I am open from about 10AM to 2PM. I am super flexible and happy to follow your doggie rules. I have done formal training for rescue pups and understand dog behaviour/warning signs/signs of stress etc as well as any human can. I like to take my own dog with me most places, hiking, camping, you name it. I have owned dogs from 30lb to 90lb and ones who are super loving and those who are more shy. I am used to dealing with a more shy dog on a regular basis. Hope to hear from you!
“Our black lab, Lager stayed 3 nights and 1 day and we could not be happier. We had great communication with pictures/videos and they handled him with 2 days of monsoon rain - not easy with a lab! Both Sheri and Connie were great and we highly recommend! Lager's booked for a day next week and we are so happy we found such a great home (away from home) for him! Thank you so much.”

About: I love all animals!!! I really enjoy coming to your house and playing with your precious babies. I have cared for a variety of animals including dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits, birds, turtles, and yes even snakes. I’ve even experienced breeding and nurturing 11 golden retrievers (3 adults and 8 puppies) at one time. I will come to your house to LOVE, feed, water, play, brush, walk, talk to, and even car rides with your beautiful pets. I’ve also been known to mop, water your plants, retrieve your mail, and take your garbage to the street. On numerous occasions, I’ve taken on jobs in Massachusetts and Vermont as mini vacations! I have a bubbly and friendly personality that animals respond well too! Reasonable rates, flexible hours, and many satisfied customers! I am retired from the county, which allows me to provide full time care to all my fury friends! I travel distances to watch your babies and occasionally welcome your pet to stay at my house. My goal is to watch pups in their own environment. It’s always difficult when Mom and Dad go away, but they are definitely less stressed if they get to stay home. This way they can feel safe and comfortable in their own surroundings
“Chantelle did a great job watching our dog at her home. Communication was excellent, and we received pictures and updates throughout the stay. Chantelle was flexible with our timings for drop-off and pickup. Would definitely book again when the need arises.”
