“Alexandra watched my baby Riley when we went on vacation for a week and she was absolutely wonderful. Her and her dog Hamspoiled Riley. They went for walks daily. Riley really enjoyed her time with them. She kept me updated with little notes and pictures that made me feel that my baby girl was safe and being loved. I highly recommend her. She would be my first choice next time I go on vacation.”
“We couldn’t ask for a better experience with Chad. Our family stayed in Smugglers’ Notch/Stowe area and our resort (if you do timeshare, you understand) doesn’t allow pets. We still wanted our dog close and finding Chad is awesome. He took the time to discuss ahead of boarding all necessary details about Pakun. He even asked for written notes and sent daily pictures and videos. We are kept updated especially with important details about our dog’s behavior. We could tell our Pakun was treated so well. Our English Springer’s hair was not tangled and he was clean when we picked him up. It is hard to believe since our dog has videos of walks, playing in the park and playdates with other dogs,he even did enrichment activities. Our dog is used to group boarding when we go on vacation, he usually comes back smelly and all tangled up. We are so pleased with our experience this time and we are so glad we brought him to have his own vacation with Chad.”
“Thank you Linda. You were great with Toby. I could tell after 6 full days with you Your communication is always prompt and clear. Your photos update are perfect and appreciated. I would highly recommend Linda to take care of your dog. Thank you again Linda.”
“Our second time using Jackie! They take great care of pansy and are very attentive to all of her specific needs. We felt totally comfortable with them and could enjoy our vacation while getting cute pictures and updates on her!”
“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!!!”
“Katie and Jonny really go above and beyond to make your pet a part of their pack/family during their stay. We got so many amazing photos of their walks (really, adventures) with our sweet Ruby, and plenty of updates too on how she was adjusting and doing. From talking with them, it’s very clear they are animal lovers through and through and we couldn’t ask for anything more. We are so happy to have found them and will definitely reach out again when we need a sitter! Thank you both so much.”
“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”
“Pete and Alex were amazing! Their home is UNREAL. Truly heaven for a dog! Alex sent us frequent photo updates about Duck's stay, and we could 100% tell that Duck was happy when he was there. He even got to sleep with Pete, Alex, and Hank in bed. We would definitely have Duck stay with Pete & Alex if we are ever in the area again!”
“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!!”
“Louis and Haley took amazing care of my aging pup. They were super caring and went above and beyond to make sure my dog felt calm and relaxed during her stay. Thank you!”

“Danielle was fantastic with my dog, Meg. I contacted her last-minute, and she was responsive, flexible, and professional. We did a meet-and -greet the night before, and she stayed in touch the whole weekend with thoughtful updates and photos. Meg came back calm, content, and clearly well cared for, no adjustment period needed. Danielle is caring, grounded, and highly attentive. You can tell she really sees the animals she’s working with. I’d absolutely book with her again.”

About: I have owned cats all my life and can handle the different mood swings if they have any. Up until a couple years ago, I owned a cat that was blind and deaf and learned ways to deal with the challenges that you might face. Cats have always had a special place in my heart and I am very willing to take care of yours.
About: I have owned and cared for cats my entire life. I am familiar with their daily care as well as administering medications. I am very comfortable doing what is needed to make sure your fur babies are happy and safe!

We had a very happt cat when we returned from out trip and that is definitely not always the case when we return from being away...very Impressive!!!”
“Jennifer is by far my favorite sitter I’ve booked! She went above and beyond while taking care of my sweet dog Cooper while I was away for Christmas. I would recommend her to anyone :)”
“Alexis took care of our 2 cats while we were out of town. My husband and I were nervous leaving our kitties with someone we didn't know. However, Alexis was very communicative with my husband and me. She sent many photos and texts about how our cats were doing. We also spoke to Alexis on the phone during our absence from the cats. Additionally, Alexis is a Veterinary Technician. The kitties seemed just fine when we returned from our trip.”

“Chad has been taking care of Aspen since she was about 4 or 5 months old. He has worked with her and myself on her reactivity and meeting other dogs and strangers. I believe he saved my dog and I. I wouldn't trust anyone else with her. I followed him to Rover from the daycare he essentially started and was forced to shut down. And I will follow him when he starts his own. He is trustworthy, reliable, kind, compassionate and SO intelligent and well educated on dog behavior and body language. Aspen loves her days with Chad and she is wiped out until the next day!”
“Chelsea has been an absolute godsend for our family. She has been watching our dog, Mouse, for over a year at this point. She has made dog care simple and stress free. Her availability is excellent, her communication is great, and she has never turned down a request to watch our pup. My wife and I have crazy schedules for work, so Chelsea has been incredibly flexible and accommodating. Our dog loves her, and we will continue to utilize her services for as long as she offers them”
“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!”
“We had a very very last minute need for a dog sitter and we were so fortunate to find Pete and Alex. They communicated so well and were so pleasant and welcoming! Leo had the absolute best time and came home tired out!”
About: I have always been around dogs and other pets since I was a baby, and have always loved and cherished them. As an adult we have raised and taken care of three cats and dogs. While in the military for 10 years, I was responsible for taking care of many other pets, especially dogs, for other service members while they traveled or deployed. My dog Nigel and I tend to make fast friends with any other dogs we meet! I recently got out of the military, and moved back home to Vermont. I am currently not working, and will be working on online college courses from home for the foreseeable future. Therefore I have a very flexible schedule, and can make all the time necessary to keep any pets entertained and well taken care of! I have a very sweet four year old male English Cream Golden Retriever, named Nigel, who loves friends more than anything (other than treats) and will be my permanent doggie daycare assistant. We have a large 2.5 acre property that is partially fenced, with large yard space to run in, and wooded nature trails in the back for walks and lots of sniffs. We are also about 5 minutes away from a beautiful dog park and miles of nature trails that we try to go to every day.
“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.”
“Eva was able to accommodate us at such late notice, and went out of her way to pick my boy up because we were unable to get to her. Rowan came back tired and content and we will definitely be bringing Rowan back!”
About: Long story short: I have YEARS of experience and a deep love of all animals! I'm great with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities! Happy to walk them all! Must be kid and puppy friendly if sitting happens in my home. I am also great with cats for in-your-home pet-sitting or drop in visits! The Long Version: I've had dogs in my home since I was a kid. I also have experience with cats, as we had cats first when I was younger, and at one point had multiple cats in the home at once...and also had two cats and two dogs at one time. In college I volunteered at a local rescue and walked dogs of all sizes and personalities several days a week. I ended up adopting one of those dogs, and had her from the age of about 4, until her passing a couple years ago at around age 15. She was an absolute love, but she also could be very reactive on walks/ in public. She was extremely particular about which dogs she approved and even when she found one she'd be okay with, she often took quite a careful, long introduction to make it work. We went through behavioral training and made some progress, and I was able to take her on many adventures, even despite her still being a bit reactive. I learned a lot about dog behavior and socialization with her. Over the years we also rehab'd an ACL injury and recovery, and had to make life/ home/ meds modifications as she got older and needed some more senior dog TLC. I am happy to visit/ walk any dogs, behavioral "quirks" and all, as long as I know about their strengths, challenges, and how to support them, in advance. For boarding/ any care within my own home, I am only able to accept dogs that are excellent with young children and puppies. I have two dog-loving kids under age 5, and we have a super sweet lab puppy, so she is currently small, but growing fast! I'm a teacher, so my schedule varies based on the time of year! During the school year: I can do weekend walks, or dog sitting, ideally at my home, through the weekend. During the summer months: My schedule is flexible! I'm happy to do quick potty breaks for pups during the day, regular walks, filling in for random days if you have to work longer than usual, boarding/ dog sitting (again, ideally at my home since I have two little kids and my own puppy). I've always loved my pets as members of the family and I will give your pet all the love and care that I'd give my own! I am happy to follow any pre-established expectations and appreciate knowing anything that's going to help make my time with your pet as comfortable and fun for them as possible in your absence. I also love capturing adorable pictures of animals lounging, playing, etc. so I will definitely send pics during / after my visit if you want them! We allow our puppy on furniture, but I will of course follow any rules/ standard expectations that you have established for your pets and/or your home.
“Jackie is so kind and very communicative. She took care of my Chihuahua for one full day and sent pictures to show how things were going. I highly recommend her for the dog daycare! My dog was happy.”
“So grateful to find Michele on here who has been able to accommodate my last-minute request for dog care after I was injured and needed help with my pup. Her calm demeanor and confidence put me at ease leaving him with a stranger, and she kept me posted during the day. Happy to wholeheartedly recommend!”
“I highly recommend Katie! Very easygoing and I felt comfortable leaving my Chewbear with her. She was flexible with my time period and I did not feel rushed. If I had more energy I would have done more. Katie was very responsive to my texts and I even got a "report card" letting me know more about his time there. So nice to have peace of mind for your animal with severe separation anxiety. She is a godsend. Would definitely let Chewy visit again. Thank you Katie!”
About: Depuis mon plus jeune âge, les animaux ont toujours fait partie de ma vie. J'ai grandi entouré de chiens et de chats, développant un profond amour et un respect pour eux. J'ai toujours pris soin d'eux avec dévouement et affection. En tant qu'adulte, cette passion n'a fait que croître. J'ai eu la chance de partager ma vie avec divers animaux, établissant avec chacun d'eux un lien unique et spécial. On m'appelle souvent "Docteur Dolittle", car j'ai une capacité particulière à comprendre leurs besoins et leurs émotions. Mon expérience m'a permis d'acquérir des compétences précieuses dans les soins aux animaux, et je m'efforce toujours d'offrir le meilleur environnement possible à mes compagnons à quatre pattes. Qu'il s'agisse de promenades, de jeux ou de soins médicaux, ma connexion avec eux est indéfectible et enrichissante. Les animaux sont non seulement des amis fidèles, mais aussi des enseignants qui m'inspirent chaque jour. Je travail de la maison. Je fais mon horaire personnel alors mon horaire est tres flexible. J'ai donc du temps dans le jours pour prendre soins de vos chers animaux J'ai une cours arrière clôturer avec des l'espace pour jouer ou explorer selon l'envie de l'animal. Je suis egalement une personne active alors j'adore aller me promener. Il y a un parc a chien a quelque mètres de la maison egalement si le maître me l'autorise. Je prend toujours le temps qu'il faut avec chaque animal. Peut importe le service qui met demandé.
“Linda took excellent care of my two rescue pups. She was easy and clear to communicate with and I was not worried about my dogs in her care throughout the day. She did a great job handling my reactive dog on a walk and even took them to a fenced area so they could run around off leash. So glad I found her and I really recommend her to anyone else:) Thanks Linda!”
“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’ve had dogs since I was a toddler. I currently have an almost 1-year old big goofy catahoula leopard/pitbull mix. I routinely dog sit for extended family and I have fostered for a local dog rescue. One of my favorite activities is taking a dog for a nice neighborhood walk or an active hike. If your dog comes here for a stay, they are treated as a member of the family. They’re welcome to lounge on the couch and we even love to bring them on outings with us if your dog would enjoy it. I’m a full time mom so I have a fairly flexible schedule for adding in dog walks. If your dog is ok with kiddos joining, I can be even more accommodating. I currently have a puppy who could accompany me on walks or drop-ins if you think your dog could benefit from seeing a play buddy. If not, I can do some quality 1:1 time with your pooch.
About: I have always been around pets of all kinds; reptiles, house pets, farm animals, even a tarantula. I am caring and attentive and up for anything! I work from home and set my own work schedule. Pet care can fit right into my flexible schedule. I would love to have a companion on my walks, as I listen to my podcasts!! I like to do my research on a particular pet if I am going to care for it. This ensures I will properly handle and care for the pet, as they vary!
About: There has always been a dog in my life and it’s the absolute best! I am a big believer in positive reinforcement training. I’ve worked with a dog trainer for a few weeks (with my own dog Lucy) and have enjoyed reading about positive reinforcement training techniques. I always enjoy greeting other furry friends while we’re out on the trails or at the town off-leash area. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs and my current dog Lucy was, (and still sometimes is!), pretty high-energy. We get outside for some energy-burning activity at least 2x a day. We live right next to trails, a pond, and a river. I’ve mostly taken in friends’ dogs over the past couple of years but we’re used to having an extra dog come to stay and would be happy to welcome yours! I work from home and Lucy is with me all day. We exercise and/or have play breaks throughout the day. I have very few commitments outside the home. We are active and live right next to town & state forest with many trails. I run, hike, and mountain bike. We also have 2 ponds which is the best for water-loving dogs! I take Lucy out every couple of hours on our property (big meadow) or surrounding trails. She is mostly off-leash but can be on-leash if that works better with your dog. Lucy loves all dogs and is a great, energetic playmate. We have a crate if that's part of your dog's routine.

“I will definitely be using Alexandra again and again! She took so much care to ensure my dog was taken care of. She was very communicative and sent pictures each day that made me smile and made me feel confident that my dog was in good hands. She took my dog for nice long walks each day, and played with her and gave her lots of love. Very grateful that I found Alexandra - she's the best.”
About: I’ve taken care of and had my own dogs and cats for over 20 years. My current dogs are 2 and 9 so I have a wide range of recent experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs. I’m a therapist in training currently so I’m very pro communication and I’m happy to set expectations with you early and keep lines of communication open throughout my time with your pet. My schedule is very flexible especially over the summer, I’m currently studying for my PhD and can pop over for a walk, a feeding, a bathroom break, or just a visit. Especially this summer without classes I can work with you and your schedule. I have two dogs and a cat myself. I think I love them probably more than anything else in this world. In our home we love and respect our pets making sure they feel comfortable and confident and safe. We live in a quiet neighborhood with a fenced in back yard, our dogs are walked 2x per day and have bones and lick mats several times per week. I think mutual respect between us and pets is incredibly important and I always want them to live a life as full as possible.

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’ve been an animal lover ever since I was younger. I grew up with cats which is where my love for animals began. The independence of cats but also the big role they play in a family is what makes them amazing. They each have their own personality which I enjoy seeing come out. When I moved back home I lived in a house with no animals which is what got me into fostering. I fostered a dog for a year. By the time that year mark hit I decided he was meant to be with me, so now I’m a proud dog mom. I couldn’t imagine living in a home without a pet. I have experience with administering medicine, training and dog introductions. I love to bring dogs on adventures outside. My dog is trained off leash and prefers that when in an area where it is allowed. I am currently a bartender. This means I work late hours, normally from 4:30-9pm. Please note that night time walks would not happen until 9:00-9:30pm Tuesdays and Thursdays-Saturdays. I am looking for both long-term set schedules and anything in between. I have a yard that my dogs love to just hang out and smell all the smells. We also love adventuring on local trails in the area.

This ensures I will properly handle and care for the pet, as they vary!
About: Dog obedience training certified and in love with all types of animals from dogs to cats and small animals. I highly enjoy walking dogs and spending time with your furry friends. I like to get as much information about your fur babies to provide the best care and fun that can possibly be granted. I train with lots of positive energy, confidence, and reinforcement to push your pets to learn and be the best companions they can be. Dogs enjoy my positive outlook on life and seem to instantly connect with me which allows me to train and walk/care for them in the best ways. I love my work with dogs and I hope to see you and walk, train, and care for your furry pals soon.
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give to every dog as an individual. I take the time to learn each dog's personality, routine, and boundaries so they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes—from miniature Dachshunds to Great Danes—and understand that every breed and temperament has unique needs. Whether your dog is energetic and loves long walks or prefers a slower pace and extra reassurance, I'm happy to tailor my care to them. I'm patient, detail-oriented, and reliable. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any training routines you'd like maintained. I'm also comfortable with puppies who are still learning good habits, as well as senior dogs who may need a gentler approach, extra patience, or special accommodations. Above all, I treat every dog like they're my own—with kindness, respect, and lots of love. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely at ease, knowing they're in caring and capable hands. I'm currently studying for my board exam to become a certified Physician Assistant, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time to dog walking throughout the week. Because I can plan my study schedule around appointments, I'm able to accommodate a variety of walking times, including weekdays and many weekends. I enjoy being active, and spending time with dogs is a great balance to studying. I take pride in being reliable, punctual, and making sure each walk is a fun, safe, and enriching experience. Whether your dog needs a quick midday potty break or a longer walk to burn off energy, I'm committed to providing dependable care and giving them the attention they deserve. When walking dogs, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. Before every walk, I make sure collars or harnesses are fitted securely and take the time to understand each dog's personality, energy level, and any specific instructions from their owner. During our walks, I pay close attention to my surroundings and your dog's body language to ensure they feel safe and comfortable. Whether your dog enjoys an active walk or prefers a slower, more relaxed pace, I'm happy to adjust to their needs. I always respect leash etiquette, avoid situations that may cause unnecessary stress, and make sure your pet has access to water if needed. If I'm caring for your dog in your home before or after a walk, I'll treat both your pet and your home with the utmost respect. I'll follow all care instructions carefully, make sure your dog is settled before I leave, and can provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. My goal is to make every walk a positive, enriching experience that keeps your dog happy, healthy, and excited for our next adventure together.

“Alexandra watched my baby Riley when we went on vacation for a week and she was absolutely wonderful. Her and her dog Hamspoiled Riley. They went for walks daily. Riley really enjoyed her time with them. She kept me updated with little notes and pictures that made me feel that my baby girl was safe and being loved. I highly recommend her. She would be my first choice next time I go on vacation.”
“We couldn’t ask for a better experience with Chad. Our family stayed in Smugglers’ Notch/Stowe area and our resort (if you do timeshare, you understand) doesn’t allow pets. We still wanted our dog close and finding Chad is awesome. He took the time to discuss ahead of boarding all necessary details about Pakun. He even asked for written notes and sent daily pictures and videos. We are kept updated especially with important details about our dog’s behavior. We could tell our Pakun was treated so well. Our English Springer’s hair was not tangled and he was clean when we picked him up. It is hard to believe since our dog has videos of walks, playing in the park and playdates with other dogs,he even did enrichment activities. Our dog is used to group boarding when we go on vacation, he usually comes back smelly and all tangled up. We are so pleased with our experience this time and we are so glad we brought him to have his own vacation with Chad.”
“Thank you Linda. You were great with Toby. I could tell after 6 full days with you Your communication is always prompt and clear. Your photos update are perfect and appreciated. I would highly recommend Linda to take care of your dog. Thank you again Linda.”
“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!!!”
“Katie and Jonny really go above and beyond to make your pet a part of their pack/family during their stay. We got so many amazing photos of their walks (really, adventures) with our sweet Ruby, and plenty of updates too on how she was adjusting and doing. From talking with them, it’s very clear they are animal lovers through and through and we couldn’t ask for anything more. We are so happy to have found them and will definitely reach out again when we need a sitter! Thank you both so much.”
“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”
“Pete and Alex were amazing! Their home is UNREAL. Truly heaven for a dog! Alex sent us frequent photo updates about Duck's stay, and we could 100% tell that Duck was happy when he was there. He even got to sleep with Pete, Alex, and Hank in bed. We would definitely have Duck stay with Pete & Alex if we are ever in the area again!”
“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!!”

“Danielle was fantastic with my dog, Meg. I contacted her last-minute, and she was responsive, flexible, and professional. We did a meet-and -greet the night before, and she stayed in touch the whole weekend with thoughtful updates and photos. Meg came back calm, content, and clearly well cared for, no adjustment period needed. Danielle is caring, grounded, and highly attentive. You can tell she really sees the animals she’s working with. I’d absolutely book with her again.”
“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!”
