Personalized care for your dog or cat - Roxbury

“Christina and Jason were lovely folks to meet, and Emma, my pup, sure agrees! Emma had a great time and I loved seeing updates of their time together. 10/10 would recommmend!”

Tristan M.

“Puppy-- actual dog's name-- had the best time and weathered the multiday power outage with ease, being read to and walked every day. ;-) Thanks again.”

Peter H.

“My two border collies had an excellent time, with plenty of supervised play with other dogs. My old guy Luke thoroughly enjoyed his active social life and is quite bored to be back home. Meanwhile, my young dog Rafe completely bonded to Sam and kept her in sight all the time. Plenty of outside exercise and I loved the photo updates. I’ve never boarded these two before but it worked out great and will happily board with Sam again.”

Kate C.

“Brittany was super easy to work with, the pups loved her, and her set up is perfect for the active boys we have, they hardly noticed we left. Her pups were great greeters and playmates. We were traveling far so our timing was quite questionable and Brittany made us feel right at home and worked with us and the unpredictability of Boston!”

Amanda T.

“Our pup had a wonderful stay with Sonya! She enjoyed socializing with other doggy friends during her visit and she loved having an affectionate caretaker at her side. We were thrilled to receive daily updates and look forward to sending her back.”

Megan M.

About: I have taken care of pets and have had pets for as long as I can remember. I have two dogs and three cats! My animals are my kids! I have worked hard with my dogs to train them, as well as, one of them being my service dog. I am currently unemployed and have plenty of time to give your pet lots of time, energy and love. I truly enjoy spending as much time with animals as I can My dogs are trained to be on and off leash. I will take care of your pet in whatever way you feel is best for your pet and per your instructions.

“We can't thank Natalie & Patrick enough for the great care and love they showed Ziggy while they were watching him! They provided us with great updates throughout his stay with them. It was so nice to know that our pup was in great hands and having a great time. Their dog is also a great companion and Ziggy had a blast having a friend to hang out with during his stay!”

FayFay L.

“My Morey came home happy and tired, all played out. Francine was great!”

Katie R.

“If you’re looking for a serene, loving environment for your pup, AnnaRose is the perfect sitter for you! My beagle, Maya, enjoyed the company of AnnaRose’s two calm, sweet dogs—and having their company helped her to settle in right away. AnnaRose was attentive to Maya’s needs, showered her with love, and provided tons of updates to give me peace of mind. Highly recommend!”

Mckenzie R.

“Amber was a fabulous dog-sitter! She sent me the cutest pictures on Rupert, clearly enjoying his stay. It enabled me to enjoy my journey, knowing he was well-cared for. I will gladly book with Amber again.”

Sarah C.

“Christina was fantastic! Zoe loved spending time with her, and we appreciated the photo updates while we were gone. We don't need boarding very often, but next time we do, we will absolutely use Christina again. Thank you so much!”

Andra C.

“Deirdre was absolutely wonderful! She took the time to know and understand our boy and his quirks and provided a safe and cozy place for him while we were away. Her communication was frequent and clear, and was very easy to work with. She's very mindful and in-tune with dogs and obviously cares deeply about providing a good experience for them. The model shots we got for updates was also a huge bonus!”

Kayla S.

“Anna was an outstanding pet and house sitter. She was professional, responsive, and incredibly patient with all of my nervous pet-mom questions throughout the stay. She arrived right on time, took wonderful care of my pets, and left my home in immaculate condition. She even washed all of the bedding without being asked, which was such a thoughtful and appreciated gesture. I came home to happy pets and a house that looked wonderful. I would not hesitate to recommend Anna and would gladly book her again.”

Kathryn R.

“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!!”

Meg H.

“Amazing as always! Our girls can sometimes be a lot to handle and Victoria is always so patient, kind, and caring! Great communicator and lots of updates!”

Sylvia M.

“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! 🐾”

Julia C.

“I am truly grateful to have found Lexi to care for my dog, Vizhna. I need to board V for 11 weekends over a nine-month period because I'm going to school away from home. Vizhna gets anxious in new situations, so it was important for me to find one person who could do most or all of the weekends, instead of finding a different sitter for each weekend. I contacted 14 pet-sitters on Rover that didn't work out--before I contacted Lexi. Lexi is calm, competent, thoughtful, caring, and detail-oriented, and Vizhna was able to relax and enjoy herself while staying with Lexi and her family. That was a huge weight off my heart, to find a situation where V will not feel anxious while she's away from home--and in fact to find a second (temporary) home for V. I highly recommend Lexi for any pet care you need!”

Bara M.

“Jenny had a great time with Meghan and was well taken care of!”

Kristofer A.

“Chloe was absolutely wonderful! She was super communicative and sent regular updates and photos of Cosmo, which made us feel completely at ease. It truly seemed like Cosmo found a new friend while staying with her. We would absolutely trust her with Cosmo again and highly recommend her!”

Bruna B.

“Nala was very happy and well taken care of. Mara has an awesome setup. Thanks Mara!”

Mark F.

“Becca was amazing, she took excellent care of our animals! Always checked in and gave us excellent details and pictures of our animals! I will definitely be using her in the future!”

Lindsey P.

“Ellie was great with Piper during her drop ins. Highly recommend if you’re looking for someone to drop in for your fur baby ❤️”

Abby J.

“Marissa took great care of my 3 cats over the course of several months of repeat visits, super consistent with great communication and initiative with the cats. And the cats seemed to like her, too. Can't recommend her enough”

Michael H.

“Liilian really went above and beyond to make sure that our cats were cared for, played with, and safe while we were away and we're so thankful for that peace of mind knowing that they were in such good hands. Thank you!!”

Colin S.

About: I've cat-sat friends, families, and neighbors' cats since high school! I have experience providing them with daily medication and spending enough time with them to allow them to play and let out some energy. I will also take care of litterbox cleaning if needed!

“She was flexible and came to watch my cat around the holidays, which was really appreciated!”

Halie C.

“Margaret has been a wonderful cat sitter for my baby. She’s reliable and dependable, and Nina loves the time she spends petting her. I can go on vacation worry free knowing she’ll take care of her.”

Fabiola H.

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!

“Christina and Jason were wonderful dog sitters for our pup Honey! We were RV camping staying in a nearby campground. We had some excursions planned where we could not take our pup and Christina and Jason took good care of her. They went on walks in the woods and Honey settled in on their sofa and napped afterwards. They sent pictures of her to let me know that she was happy as she has anxiety when we leave her. I would definitely recommend them and use them again if we’re in the area.”

Karin H.

“AnnaRose saved the day when I was looking for a last minute dog sitter. She was so loving to my Miss LuLu. I would definitely hire her again.”

Patricia S.

“Lauryn was a great sitter! I would definitely recommend her.”

Brian K.

“Colby was attentive and observant with Benny and did a great job with him adapting to the farm! I would highly recommend and will seek her help in the future.”

I will take care of your pet in whatever way you feel is best for your pet and per your instructions.

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.

“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!!!”

Paige G.

“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!!”

Melinda L.

“Karly helped us out with a last minute request. Max had a good afternoon with her. Thanks, Karly!”

Yolanda B.

“Flexible and great communication!”

Amanda C.

About: I can’t remember the last time I’ve lived in a home without a dog or cat! I’ve been training my own furball who’s 10 months old and he’s doing great! I’d say most of my experience comes from watching my own animals, family’s furry friends and neighbors’ pets. I have some time on my hands in between jobs at the moment to help others out. I am currently between jobs for the next few months so I have plenty of time and flexibility to work with your schedule. Happy to fill my days with more dogs! I have a large yard and plenty of trails nearby to walk the dogs! I also have a 10 month old Irish wolfhound that absolutely loves hanging out with other dogs! I have crates - large enough for an Irish wolfhound and room for yours if needed!

About: Growing up around a wide variety of animals has given me the skills and passion needed to be an attentive and responsible carer of all kinds of pets. I've owned several dogs, cats, rodents, and horses. I was responsible for administering medications, accommodating pets with special needs, becoming attuned to various behaviors and habits, and adhering to specific individualized training methods. I'm currently working full-time from home as a customer service rep for a small, local company and mothering my 2 year old toddler (who is very gentle and respectful around all animals). I'm fortunately very flexible with my schedule and can accommodate both last-minute and long-term schedules! Being a sincere animal lover, I'm always enthusiastically willing to tend to the needs of any pets that are under my care. I believe that both people and animals benefit from living in a clean and comfortable space, so I seek to maintain and accommodate that kind of positive atmosphere in your pet's home.

“Wow! Wendy is amazing. Very warm, kind and knowledgeable with caring for a family pet... in my case a German shorthair pointer, that really enjoyed her cute dogs, Ken (a great tv personality) and fun/friendly home. I was skiing Stowe and her beautiful location is an easy and worthwhile drive that I completely enjoyed. It was a real treat to meet such awesome people and made me wish I lived closer. You could not possibly find better care than Wendy provides.”

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.

About: I have experience in taking care dogs, cats, parakeets fish, as well as horses, chickens, and a whole bunch more! I have trained my own dog and helped others with theirs! I am very flexible with my daily schedule so i most likely be able to make what you need work! Your pets will be my priority while they are in my care. I do not have space to bring pets to my house but i am more than able to come to where you are to watch your fur baby!

“Marissa helped out with some dog walking for me while I was away. She was excellent with my pup and flexible with my schedule and coordinated with my housesitter which was much appreciated. Recommended!”

Jason D.

“Giovanni loves Lillian. She was prompt and attentive and went above and beyond expectations.”

Joanna H.

“Colby did great with our Basset Hound, Muffin. They both seemed to enjoy each other immediately. They went for a nice walk, and Muffin offered Colby many kisses afterwards as a thank you. Colby seemed to handle Muffin's little antics quite well, and they parted as new friends. Thank you, Colby!”

“Even in the cold and snow Jeremy is an amazing dog walker”

About: I’ve cared for my dog & watched my friends dogs for over four years. Additionally I have experience with cats as I frequently watch my mothers two cats. I am available to watch dogs & cats in the Greater Burlington area on Friday nights, during the weekend, & Monday mornings occasionally if/when needed. I provide a safe, loving, and playful environment tailored to your pet’s needs when pet sitting. In your home, I follow your routines to keep them comfortable, happy, & stress free. My goal is to treat them like family every step of the way.
