“Our senior dog Hank had a wonderful time with Deirdre. She took excellent care of him and gave us lots of updates with pictures and videos. It seemed like he had a fantastic time. I really appreciated that she was so kind and thoughtful concerning his advanced age. We’re very happy to have finally found such an outstanding person to look after our old pal while we’re away. Thank you Deirdre!”
“Deborah is absolutely great with our dog. We have left our dog with her a few times and been pleased every time. She does a great job making sure he gets plenty of exercise as well as snuggle time and gives plenty of updates. She has a fenced in yard, which is absolutely great for exercising our dog! We left our dog with Deborah during a long vacation, and when we went to take him home he did not want to leave her house. Will absolutely bring Tucker back again if ever needed!”
“Karly did a fantastic job taking care of my dog! She was reliable, caring, and made me feel completely comfortable knowing my pup was in good hands. I would absolutely book with Karly again and highly recommend her! 🐾”
“Skittles had such a great time with Chloe! I was nervous to leave her for such a long time but knew she was in great hands. After just meeting once, Skittles now runs down the street to greet her! I received regular updates and more when I expressed that I missed my pup. I would 100% trust my pup with Chloe again.”
“Sam was awesome!! She sent us pics/video of the dogs playing which I loved! They had plenty of space to run around in a large fenced in area. This was the perfect place to send both my pups!! We will definitely be back!”
“Sarah was wonderful to work with, very communicative. We were able to do a meet and greet in advance to make sure our dogs would get along (they did!). Sarah sent a picture or video daily (sometimes multiple times a day). It was nice to get updates on how our dog was doing, so we didn't have to worry on vacation. We will definitely use Sarah again!”
“Christina was amazing with my pup Rue! I had only ever left her with friends or family before and was hesitant to leave her while I was out of town for my sister's wedding. She was able to take Rue with only a couple of days notice which I was grateful for. She has a large yard with tons of grass for the dogs to play in. Rue made friends with a couple pups she watches for daycare and I felt much better knowing she had dogs to play with. She was excited to see me when I came back but also didn't want to leave. Will definitely use Christina again! Thanks for watching my baby!”
“This was our dog Maple's second stay with Tiffany, and it was just as great as the first! Our dog was super happy to see Tiffany and had a great time playing ball, going on walks, and snuggling with the family. As usual, Tiffany sent tons of updates and photos so I knew Maple was doing well. Tiffany and her family are wonderful people and we are so glad to have found them for Maple's second home while we are away!”
“Gwynn is amazing. She paid attention to exactly the attention (exercise, etc.) that Martie needed and even sent us pictures of their adventures. Martie was exhausted when we got home!”
“Sonya took care of our three pets this past week!! She is warm and super friendly and kind !! She did an amazing job taking care of our pets in addition to her pets and one other dog!! I found her honest and trustworthy and she sent us wonderful photos and messages to update their care. We highly recommend Sonya to take great care of your pets!!”
“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.”
“I was so thankful to find such an amazing couple to be able to spend the weekend with Loki on such short notice. We know he can be a stubborn old man with lots of emotions. Thank you Ali and Cody!!”
“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!”
“Erica was wonderfully patient and kind with our elderly Chihuahua, Suzie, while we explored local attractions while traveling through the area. Suzie is typically anxious in new situations but she looked relaxed in the pictures Erica sent to us throughout her stay and was calm and happy when we picked her up. We are extremely thankful for Erica’s focused attention and compassion with our senior girl.”
“I know my dog was well taken care of when she takes the time to give a quick kiss to each of her caregivers! And…during the excitement of Mamas home! Thank you so much for the kind and loving care and the great communication and photos! Those go along way to help sooth mamas anxiety of having to leave her baby with a new person! Thank you, thank you thank you!”

“Karen was absolutely wonderful with my two cats.

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.”

I am a college graduate with a pile of passion caring for animals, my schedule is very flexible and I am available during weekdays, most weekends and even holidays!

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!

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: 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.

“Chloe is a great sitter! This was our first time using Rover and leaving our 5 month old puppy, Goose. He had no hesitation and immediately followed Chloe when we left. She sent pictures throughout the day and kept us updated. Highly recommend!!!”

“Deirdre was absolutely amazing with our frenchie. She allowed us to book last minute during our move to the area. He came home grinning and tired every day. 10/10 highly recommend her care!!”
“Max my pug had the best day ever! Christina updated me regularly during his stay. I could see he was very well taken care of and comfortable with her dogs and the house. She even talked to me about checking his hearing which confirmed what i had been recognizing myself. Max says next time he is in need of a dog sitter Christina is his choice:)”
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.
“Colby hosted our three pups in her home for a day and it was an amazing experience! She was extremely communicative and made sure to cater to each of our dog's individual needs. Our dogs came home so happy and tired from all the fun they had with Colby. I mean, what more could we ask for? We are all looking forward to working with Colby again!”
“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 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.
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.
