“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!”
“Samantha is wonderful!!! We are here for the summer and had to board our lab for a week. He was experiencing some allergies and Sam was more than happy to help! She provided updates, photos and videos of him throughout the week! We were able to add a day to our itinerary mid stay. Sam is very flexible! The location is exactly what we hoped for! Lots of space and outdoor time. Sam does daily walks. She offered to keep Riggs with the timid crew since he is a bit shy. Sam knows and love dogs! We are incredibly thankful for her!”
“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.”
“Joe was excellent. He was super attentive and caring, sent daily photos and videos and didn’t hesitate to take on a puppy who has extra needs. We are looking forward to having him watch both our dogs in a few days. Highly recommend!!!”
“Cara was an excellent dogsitter. She communicated well, sent great photos, and made sure my older dog Cosmo was comfortable. He loved being able to sit on the couch and the bed :) We would definitely have Cosmo return to Cara's again in the future.”
“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!”
“Emily is kind and caring. Funny too! We were impressed by her thoughtfulness with the humans as well -- thank you for the photos and the updates. My old dog's first stay with Emily will not be her last.”
“Our 6 year old dog had a great time with Kevin and Inez, hiding and swimming with their other dogs! Kevin and Inez were both highly communicative, flexible and sent updates each day. Would highly recommend — thank you!!!”
“I felt very comfortable, safe, and secure with my dog Tubbs in Abbie’s care. She has great communication, is kind and caring, and Tubbs was in the best mood when I picked him up (I’m not certain he wanted to leave!). Highly recommend, will definitely rebook!”
“Michele was the perfect host for our goldendoodle while we were in the area for graduation weekend. Based on the photos she sent me, he appeared to enjoy looking at the wildlife out her windows, going for walks with her dog and stretching out on her sofa. Michele was very flexible about drop off and pickup times as well. A great experience for everyone!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Our dog had an awesome time with Allaire and was very well cared for while we were away! Allaire was very responsive and sent lots of pictures and updates which was greatly appreciated. We would definitely use Allaire again for boarding!”
“This was our first Rover experience and it was all we hoped it would be. AnnaRose welcomed us warmly and made us feel comfortable that the dogs would be well cared for. The pictures and videos we received throughout the stay added to our comfort level.”
“Jessica was fantastic, watching with our 8yo pup while we were at a celebration in Vermont for the weekend! She was even able to take him out for a long walk/hike and sent pics—he had a great time. We will definitely seek her out next time we are in the area and need overnight care.”

“Payton did drop in visits for our two cats while we went on a two week vacation. She was great with communication and sending photos for each visit. The cats were well taken care of while we were away. I recommend Payton as a friendly and reliable person. Thanks Payton!”
“Can’t say enough good things about Julia! She is so thoughtful with my shy kitties and I would recommend her to anyone. She’s clearly a huge animal lover and very intuitive even with my sensitive little guys.”
“Kathyrn was wonderful with my cat! She was attentive, kind, and made me feel confident that my cat was in great hands while I was away. I really appreciated her thoughtful care and the extra effort she made by driving out to us. I'm so grateful for her help and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Allaire took great care of our 3 cats when we were away. She even took our oldest cat for a walk (he loves to go out on the leash) which was above and beyond. The 3 cats were happy when we got home which is always such a relief. Thanks Allaire!”
“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: I’ve been caring for pets of all energy levels and ages for over 10 years, ranging from energetic puppies to anxious seniors. I’ve had my own dogs for 15 years, and I love spending time with all pets whenever I get the chance! I’m also happy to care for cats and/or exotic pets. If you're looking for an attentive, reliable, and gentle pet sitter, I'm your person! I'm currently residing in the Upper Valley, and I work daily as a high school teacher. I can provide check-ins and walks during the afternoon. I’m not able to keep animals in my own home, but I am more than happy to stay in your home overnight to keep your pets comfortable.
“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.”
“Samantha took amazing care of our two cats, Misty and Lou, over the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. She provided detailed notes for each check-in, asked questions proactively, took the cutest photos of our fur babies, and took great care to clean everything at the end of the final check-in. We loved her service and will absolutely enlist her in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats and have done house sitting for 4 years. I love doing this kind of stuff. I can walk them, go for walks all that fun stuff. Im doing babysitting right now but can house sit whenever and can be with the dogs/cats whenever. I am always free to take them out whenever needed. I will watch pets in your home and or/ stay in your home for house sitting overnight. I will keep them safe and follow any rules.

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.
“Sean did an amazing job watching my dog, Nala, while we were exploring the Quechee VT area. We had lunch at the Simon Pearce restaurant (no dogs allowed) and so I dropped Nala off at his lovely home and she had a great time. She even got to go swimming! I highly recommend Sean to anyone in or visiting the area. This can be especially helpful if you want dog free time at a nice restaurant or to go shopping in town.”
About: Hello my name is Nora! I am a junior at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and I love pets more than anything! I have two labradoodles of my own, and a lot of experience caring for pets. I have walked dogs, pet-sit, volunteered in shelters, cared for my own two dogs, and am currently involved in a club called Paws for a Cause at my university. I can guarantee the BEST care for your pets, and I will truly love them like my own. I can ensure your pets will be in good hands, and being with animals never feels like a job to me! I hope I can satisfy your pet-related needs! My work is entirely remote and allows me to have flexible hours during the day, perfect for all kinda of care. I can be home with your pet for the entire day. I am also available on weekends at any time and can ensure that your pet will receive my complete attention! Please reach out to me more about an exact schedule and we can discuss your needs :) I currently live in 3 bedroom home by myself. There is a fenced yard in the back. My dogs live in my parents home, I currently at school so there are no other pets in the home. I have boarded multiple pets in my home and many owners have noted how calm their pet was in a new environment and how attentive the care I provided was! I am also available for overnight pet-sitting, day time drop ins, or dog walking. I can promise that your pets will receive nothing but the best, and I can meet any needs you have. I am also willing to give baths, trim nails, or other basic care services.
“Juno had a fantastic stay with Kevin & Inez last week. He is comfortable when he knows that the humans he hangs out with understand dogs and instantly connected with Inez. He came home and was super relaxed and happy (and tuckered out from the walks and spending time with other canine friends). He is looking forward to his next stay :-).”
About: I have had dogs my whole life. I worked at a doggy day care facility for 5 years and gained a ton of experience with dogs of all sized and temperaments! We have had 10 foster dogs in recent years who have taught me a lot! My current dog keeps me very active and we love long walks, hikes and the beach! My schedule is currently wide open. My dog is my everything and yours will get the same love and care while with me! We do long walks when temperatures allow and brief outdoor breaks during the day to stay cool and get in some exercise! I live in an apartment that is very walkable and has many parks around! My dog is a great playmate for other female dogs, and does good with most boys as well. We love long walks on the many trails in the area and love to explore!
“Cannot say enough good things about Sarah, Ben, and their adorable pup Bean! They took such good care of our puppy while we skied. She got to play all day with another dog and snuggle in between! She came home to us exhausted and happy :) Sarah and Ben sent updates throughout the day and included lots of photos which we loved! Could not recommend them enough!!”
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.
