“Christina and Jason say that 'while your dog is with us, your dog is our dog', and they really mean it. They truly understand and love dogs. There is absolutely nothing else I could want in a pet sitter. I am so grateful to have found them. My dog is pretty darn happy about it too.”
“Edgar & Rene were the best! Dante, my golden, loved staying with them and their dogs. Edgar & Rene really went above and beyond to make sure Dante stayed active, got better off leash, and remained healthy. Dante & I are very grateful for his stay!”
“Zuko loved his little vacation!! Samantha was wonderful and a perfect host! Her and her family have a beautiful property with a ton of outdoor space. My dog played his heart out and had the time of his life. I don't think he wanted to leave! I would recommend her for any and all boarding you needs! I will certainly be using her again in the future!”
“I recently had Joseph take care of my 2 dogs for a couple of days and I'm very happy with their service. They responded to my questions and sent me pictures, I felt comfortable with them taking care of my dogs. I'll use them again next time I travel.”
“Our dog, Mable, had the best time at Emily’s! My husband and I had our pup stay at Emily’s for a long weekend while we were out of town, and we felt so at ease. Emily sent us updates and pictures multiple times a day. Mable was so happy and came back worn out from all the playtime and love! We will certainly be using Emily again in the future! Highly recommend!”
“Cara is the best dog sitter. Our Goldendoodle loved her stay so much, which I could tell by the daily pictures sent and communication from Cara. We look forward to more visits when/if we travel in the future!”
“My sister and I were heading to Stowe with our dogs for a ski trip when we found out the house wasn't dog friendly. Oh no! Luckily we found Gwynn who lives close to Stowe. She only takes two dogs at a time which was perfect for my dog and my sister's since they're best friends! Gwynn was great with initial introductions with my somewhat skittish dog and her dogs. We were in contact with her everyday with photos and a video of them frolicking in the snow. She always responded quickly via phone or text. After picking them up, our dogs ended up sleeping the entire next day from having too much fun. My dog in particular did not want to leave Gwynn's chickens! I would highly recommend Gwynn, especially if your dog needs personal attention, lots of exercise and outdoor time.”
About: Hi my name is Sean. I recently graduated from RIT with a BFA in illustration. I love all animals and currently have a lot of flexibility to care for your pets while I am working from home. I grew up with two labradoodles and I have also cared for friends' animals while they have been away. One of my dogs has Addison's disease, so I am familiar with giving medication to pets. Spending time with animals brings me joy and does not seem like work - I enjoy playing with your animals, going on walks and I give a great belly rub! I am extremely responsible and will love your animals like my own...you might also find some sketches of your pet when you return home. I am an artist that is currently working from home in Quechee. I am extremely flexible and am available during the week and on weekends. I make my own hours so can work around your schedule. I live with my parents and two friendly labradoodles ages 8 and 12. I could board a dog in my home if he/she gets along well with other dogs and is house-trained. I prefer to care for your animals in your own home: I can do drop-in visits, walks and daytime or overnight house-sitting.
“Louie's first overnight stay went very well. Loved receiving a pic in his "beg" pose! I knew if he was begging, he was doing fine :) Was very comfortable leaving Louie with Jenna. Will certainly do it again when the need arises!”
“Michelle was great with our Enzo. She sent lots of updates with pictures and videos and I know he was well loved. The day we picked him up he slept all afternoon and was such a happy dog. Will absolutely use Michelle again.”
“Steve is awesome! He’s so nice and really knows his stuff when it comes to dogs. He sent lots of photos and kept us updated throughout the stay, which made me feel great while Mango was with him. Mango had a really good time and came home happy and tired. We’ll definitely be booking with Steve again!”
“Jessica did great with the dogs and keeping me updated! They went on multiple hikes a day and came back to me tired. She was also very understanding and flexible surrounding pick up and drop off times”
“Kevin and Inez were awesome! Took great care of our Goldendoodle "Honey". Sent pictures and videos during here stay! Would highly recommend leaving your fur baby with Kevin and Inez. We would use them again if we are in the area! Anne and Bob”
About: I grew up around dogs my whole life as I have lived on a school campus! Dogs are something that I have always wanted, but never got the chance to have. The biggest thing that sets me apart is that I have plenty of love left to give to your pet! As a college student I have Friday-Sundays off therefor I have a lot of free time to play around with dogs! I also live with 7 other girls who would be more than happy to have a lil pup in town! I am willing to stay overnight at owners house if that is needed! If pets are to come to my apartment, they would have plenty of outdoor space to play around safely!
“Diana was great! She was very accomadating with pick up and drop off times. She keeps you updated with how you're pet is doing and sends daily progress reports/pictures. I would use Diana without hesitation. Thank you Diana.”
About: I have had many breeds and ages of dogs my whole life. I look forward to assisting you with your best friend. From feeding to training and walks to the river I can’t wait to meet your best friend. Need more than dog care? I have plenty of experience with all sorts of farm animals! Currently have a flexible schedule and looking to add more dogs to my dog walk. I have a great spot to take by my house or we could head to some more well known trails. Your pup can come hang in my fenced in yard and join my pups in watching the chickens roam around. Otherwise we can stay in the comfort of their own space.
“Shannon provided excellent overnight care for our rescue pup. We were nervous to leave her with a pet sitter because it was her first time staying anywhere other than home. Shannon was instantly reassuring that our dog was in good hands, she kept us updated with photos and videos throughout the visit. Would recommend Shannon to anyone looking for pet care!”
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.

“Courtney is absolutely wonderful to work with!! Two of our cats are on medication every 12 hours and she jumped in and learned their routine so quickly! She did a fabulous job administering insulin, an inhaler and a pill! Courtney kept us updated and sent cute photos each visit. Thank you Courtney for taking such great care of our kitties, we appreciate you!”
“Katie did an awesome job looking after my cats while I was away! She was super sweet, and both kitties were well taken care of—even my shy cat came out a few times while she was dropping in to check on them throughout the week!”
About: If my rates are an obstacle in caring for your pet then I’m happy to provide a sliding scale and have a discussion upon request. Professionally, I was vet assistant at an animal clinic before returning to farm animal work. At the clinic I learned the basics of animal health care and I learned how to properly handle dogs and cats. Throughout the last twelve years I’ve farm-sat and pet-sat for numerous friends and family members! In the last year I worked at a doggy daycare and worked groups of 11-12 large dogs. I also worked in group of 15+ small dogs and "solos" (highly dog aggressive dogs). Working in that environment took me to the next level of understanding cues and dog behavior. I learned to advocate for dogs, look for health and safety warning signs and how to manage group dynamics. I am currently a *human* nurse and making time for animals because that is where I feel I really come alive. :) I believe that animals are part of the family and I will treat them like so. I have basic experience with dog training and I personally believe that dogs thrive in structured and predictable environments. I love exercising and having fun with dogs, too! I have availability to help you with your pup or cat! Depending on the health of your pet I will socialize and exercise your pet's body and mind and of course offer any snuggles that are welcomed. I love exercising animals as much as it is tolerated by them. I currently work per diem as a staff nurse in Lebanon NH which gives me a lot of flexibility to care for pets. I am happy to abide by your house rules and expectations for your pet(s). I enjoy walks to dog parks, trails, playing in fenced yards and practicing obedience and tricks!
“Caitlin was prompt and attentive. I appreciated the daily photos. Max looked relaxed and content. It was great to have our senior kitty looked after in our home, since he doesn’t like to travel at all.”
About: I have always had multiple pets, dogs and cats. I currently have a black lab named bear and a black cat named Rosie. I also have house and babysat for a number of families. I love hanging out with animals and am known to be super attentive and responsible. I work part time in the summer and often either work a morning or night shift, not typically all day and have time to play with your pups! (Or cats) I will be sure to spend ample time with your dogs outside either within a fenced area or on a leash and will make sure your house and pup are left the same way I found them.
“Valerie went above and beyond to take care of my two cats. In addition to feeding and litter, she spent extra time to play with them which left them stimulated and happy. She provided daily updates with photos, and even cleaned their litter area without me asking. She treated my little ones as her own. Highly recommend Valerie for any devoted cat owner.”
“Lexi is wonderful! We had a meet and greet and a drop in visit for a walk so far! "Tessa" our doberman pincher loves Lexi, we just say her name and Tessa is looking for her!! Rover is awesome aswell, we can trac the walk and received a picture after. We can't say enough as to how comfortable this has been! Looking forward to Lexi and her positive and comfortable professional nature!”
“Mandy was a lifesaver for our family today! My dogs were being challenging with another pet sitter who came early, despite this Mandy showed up cheerfully and willing to tackle the challenge. My dogs were happy and got in a solid afternoon walk. She sent us really sweet photos and was very communicative. You can tell she knows dog breeds well and was able to accommodate my herding dogs instincts. I would highly recommend her to others.”
“Hariala was very responsive and timely in communicating. She took good care of our cat during holiday and the cold storms, and helped us get food refill when the feeder was running low. Excellent sitter!”
About: I love all types of pets and would enjoy going above and beyond for yours. I am flexible and willing to talk through any problems you think we may run into and can usually make anything work. I have 2 rescue cats and a 11lb westiepoo named Tito who enjoys playing and being around doggy and kitty friends of all kinds! I will happily do anything to make your animals feel comfortable. I am experienced with giving meds to cats and dogs. I do not discriminate against disabilities. I can deal with all behaviors and types and enjoy playing or just giving companionship. I enjoy animals and truly look forward to meetings yours! Please email me if you have any questions or concerns. I look forward to hearing from you.
“Samantha was AMAZING with my anxious kitty! I was nervous to go out of town for almost 2 weeks because my little girl has never been alone that long. Samantha took extra time to make sure my cat felt comfortable and stimulated in my absence, and she kept my place tidy on top of that. She went above and beyond, and I will definitely book her again.”
“Sue took great care of Rocky while we were away. He's an old cat and he worries a lot when we're gone, but he looked happy and relaxed when we returned. The house looked great too! I'll definitely book Sue again.”
“Cyan was an amazing sitter. She came by our house before we scheduled her to meet our pup. Was very responsive and easy to work with. 10/10 would recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter.”

About: Growing up, I have never been without a pet to come home to. I truly believe pets have the ability to alter someone’s life, and thus deserve the best care. I can assure you I will treat your pets with utmost care and love. I ran my own pet sitting business in high school, and am very comfortable with new dogs and cats. I am currently an M1 at Dartmouth med school. My schedule is quite flexible, just reach out for specific quests about your pet sitting needs. I live in a house with 5 other medical students so it’s difficult to host animals in my house but I am happy to stay in your home!
“Kevin watched our pug for two days while we attended the Quechee Balloon Festival. He was incredibly flexible with our plans and let us stay out much longer than originally planned. Our pup had a good time, evidenced by the 2nd day when we dropped him off and he ran right to Kevin! The other dogs were a bit noisy and inquisitive but settled right down so it wasn’t a problem. Kevin sent a few photos and video which we much appreciated. If we were in the area again, I wouldn’t hesitate to leave our dog with Kevin once again.”
“Sarah and Ben are terrific hosts! Cooper felt right at home, loved playing with their sweet dog Bean, and had plenty of room to roam in their big backyard. We hope to visit again soon. Highly recommend!”
About: I have been caring for unwanted and wayward animals for 30 years. All of our pets have been adopted as strays, from shelters or rehoming. Now, I bring these years of experience and love to your furry family members. With a team of of veterinary providers, groomers and emergency contacts in place, you can rest assured that your pets will receive the best possible attention and care. Because I much prefer to care for animals than greet customers at a WalMart, I joined Rover as my retirement job :) It's a great way to pursue my love for dogs and cats. l'm almost always available with a little notice. My home is open to your dog. Jump up on the couch, sleep on the bed, no problem unless you prefer a more structured environment and routine. Your dog will be one of the family here and will have company most all of the time. I also offer a very nice space for cats or for dogs that do not get along well with others. Not a cage or kennel but a finished 20x20 heated and furnished room in my barn loft where we can play and visit one on one.
About: I’ve had 2 dogs in my lifetime, starting from a few weeks old and caring for them through their lives. Besides personal experience, I am my friends and families go to person when it comes to pet-sitting. Walking, feeding, bathing… you name it! My patience and love for dogs will ensure your bff has a happy and safe time away from home. I currently am working from home. This means I can easily take pee breaks as often as needed. Additionally, I will be able to take longer breaks for a mid day stretch. After work, my schedule is free to play and entertain with the pups. I have a nice backyard with easily usable for pee breaks. The neighborhood I live in is small and quiet. I live alone in an house and don’t currently have any other pets.

About: Besides working at a dog groomers business as a dog bather, I have had pets all throughout my life and absolutely love being around animals! I am currently working at SORO elementary school. I work 8-3 but am looking to add on pet-sitting again since I miss working with animals! In my own home, I treat my pets as if they are my children. For my cat, I spend a lot of time with her, give her treats and kisses and make sure to frequently clean her litter box. I give her the highest care that I can. I also do this for my dog (who is my family-dog, so she gets extra love), and try to ensure that she gets enough social/play time throughout each day!
About: I have pets my whole entire life from small animals to large. I also was in Vet Tech for a year & pet sit for a bunch of family members:) I currently work full-time at West Lebanon fit body Boot Camp. During the week I don’t go to work until 9/9:30, I also can take a lunch when needed! I leave work around 6pm. I can be flexible as needed, and sometimes can have schedule shifts. I prioritize safety, routine, and comfort in a calm, clean environment. I follow all care instructions closely, provide regular updates, and respect to your home. My goal is to create a low stress experience where your pet feel safe, comfortable and cared for at their own pace.
“Samantha was wonderful with Edith and gave us great updates about their walks together. She was thorough and considerate and we will definitely rebook with her when we’re back in the area. Thank you very much, Samantha!”

Highly recommend!”
“Cara is the best dog sitter. Our Goldendoodle loved her stay so much, which I could tell by the daily pictures sent and communication from Cara. We look forward to more visits when/if we travel in the future!”
“My sister and I were heading to Stowe with our dogs for a ski trip when we found out the house wasn't dog friendly. Oh no! Luckily we found Gwynn who lives close to Stowe. She only takes two dogs at a time which was perfect for my dog and my sister's since they're best friends! Gwynn was great with initial introductions with my somewhat skittish dog and her dogs. We were in contact with her everyday with photos and a video of them frolicking in the snow. She always responded quickly via phone or text.

“Our Great Pyrénées had a great time at Sarah’s house. Her dog is the perfect playmate for Charlotte and the fenced in backyard gives her plenty of space to play freely and safely. Sarah was kind enough to send me pictures and give updates on how Charlotte was doing. Charlotte can be a picky and unpredictable eater so I really appreciated Sarah’s patience and perseverance during mealtimes. Charlotte and I look forward to her next overnight!”
“Our pups recently had their second overnight with Meredith. She provides very honest feedback about their stays- the fact is, our pups would rather be with us than away from us. But we know they are safe and well cared for with Meredith. She is kind and consistent with them and we know they will settle in over time. We are very happy to have Meredith care for our dogs.”
