Personalized care for your dog or cat - Victory

“Barbara and Darryll are amazing!! Our Mozzy was so happy and well cared for while he stayed with them. They were quick to respond and respectful of our rules. Mozzy came home even better behaved than he had been! We are so grateful to them. It is good to know we have a great place for Mozzy to stay if we need to go out of town.”

“Jennifer was amazing! She’s so sweet and obviously loves animals. She took my dog hiking to a waterfall, when I picked her up she was exhausted and didn’t want to leave! Would definitely leave Bowie there again.”

About: Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do on the side—it’s what I’ve built real experience in. I’ve worked hands-on with dogs for over three years in professional settings, including daycare, boarding, and off-leash adventures, and my most recent role was at a training facility where I learned how to safely manage dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I also own a dog of my own, so I understand the trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. My goal is always to provide structured, attentive, and genuinely loving care so every dog feels safe, happy, and understood. I am also attending school to become a professional canine trainer. Pet care is my entire life. I have dedicated all 7 days of the week and 365 days of the year towards taking care of others and my own animals. Need last minute boarding due to a family emergency? I’m your girl. Everything else closed when you have work? I’m your girl. Taking a weekend trip but no where is open? I’m. Your. Girl. I am not only here for the convenience of you but also your beloved furry friends My yard is currently not fenced,(fence coming soon!) but I do offer leash training for more enjoyable walking experiences. I do daily walks for all dogs no matter the training level they are at. I have 1 very friendly lab mix who would keep your dog friendly dogs company, and I also offer special care for those special pups who are more people dogs than dog dogs for no additional charge. If your dog is crate trained they will be crated for bedtime (9pm-6am) with overnight potty breaks if your pup requires them as well. I keep all dogs and cats separated. Dogs have the downstairs of the home, and cats have the upstairs. I am comfortable with administering basically any medication except needles, the only needle exception being for diabetic animals.

About: I have had a passion for animals my whole life, and love getting to care for new pets and their individual needs. I have a dog, cat, and bunny, but it’s not enough so I want to love yours! I follow detailed requests and always promise extra pets. I have a very flexible schedule and work remotely part time. I reply extremely quickly to texts and am ready to answer questions, concerns, and update you with your pets’ photos! I am great with following directions or special requests for pets and am always responsible in your home. I will make sure your fur baby is safe and sound.

“This was the second time we’ve left our pup with Lika and Alister. This time was for an extended stay while we were away. Lika sent us photos and videos daily to let us know how she was doing. If you want your furbaby to be cared for with nothing but love, Lika and Alister should be your first choice!”

“Maria is an amazing sitter. I'm so glad she is close by. My dog Aidan is 14 and I didn't want to leave him at a traditional boarding kennel. Maria provided daily updates with pics which put me at ease while I was away, I could tell Aidan had a great time with her and Lalo. Plenty of play time and outdoor excursions.”

Richard E.

“Nina was awesome! My dog Mattis had a great boarding experience. I felt 100% comfortable knowing that Nina was taking such good care of my boy. Not only would I recommend Nina to others but will be asking her to sit for Mattis again soon.”

About: With years of experience caring for dogs of all ages and needs, I provided loving care for my senior pup Brodie, who had one eye and mobility issues. I’ve looked after friends' dogs, from a nervous rescue from Ukraine to a brand-new puppy needing training. I’m patient, attentive, and experienced with senior care, mobility challenges, anxious pups, and basic training-ensuring every dog feels safe, happy, and loved. I work remotely, so I have plenty of time for walks and cuddles throughout the day. After 4 PM, I can focus on more hands-on care and training. I’m available for boarding every day and take daily walks in a lovely enclosed dog park near Preston Park. Weekends are completely free for boarding and pet sitting/drop ins. I don’t have a dog of my own, so your furry friend gets my full attention. I can easily crate your dog if needed and take them on daily walks in a secure enclosed park near Preston Park—or explore other spots based on their needs.

“She was so good about keeping me updated and sending pictures of my precious girl! She even took the time to take her on adventures! She has been sleeping and snoring since we got home!”

About: Hi! We’re Charlotte and Lucas. We’re animal lovers who have always had pets as part of our family, and caring for them is one of our favorite parts of daily life. Right now, we have a golden retriever who thinks everyone is his best friend and three cats who each have their own personalities. Our pets, as well as our lifetime of experience as pet caregivers has taught us how to juggle different needs, from high-energy walks to quiet cuddle time. We understand what it’s like to worry when you’re away from your pets, so we make sure the animals we care for feel loved, safe, and at home. Whether it’s tossing a ball until your pup is tired, giving extra patience to a shy cat, or just keeping up with daily routines, we will treat your pets just like our own! Taking care of pets is already part of our everyday life. We have a golden retriever and three cats at home, so our days naturally revolve around feeding, walks, play, and snuggles. Because we’re so used to that routine, it feels easy and natural to make time for other pets too. Between the two of us, we’re flexible with mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Depending on the day and time, either one of us will be available, and we’ll clearly communicate that with you when booking so you know who to expect. At the end of the day, we both just enjoy having more chances to spend time with animals. We know how important it is to feel confident that your pets are safe and cared for when you’re not there. When we’re in a client’s home, we’re respectful of your space and careful to follow your routines. We pay attention to details like locked doors, leashes, and food instructions, because we know consistency helps pets feel calm and secure. Most of all, we want you to feel at ease knowing your pets are being treated with the same love and care we give our own.

About: From a young age, I knew my life’s work would involve animals. I began horseback riding at age ten and quickly expanded into caring for the lesson horses, later managing a boarding barn and earning my riding instructor’s license. After moving to Vermont, I worked at an animal shelter for dogs and cats, which inspired me to pursue a degree in Veterinary Technology. For over 15 years, I’ve worked as a Certified Veterinary Technician, gaining extensive experience in animal care, health, and behavior. Now, I’m excited to focus on providing pets with comfort, safety, and companionship while their people are away. I'm currently working part-time so I have plenty of time for walks and visits. I'm available on the weekends for boarding and a couple of days during the week. I have a fenced in yard and two dogs to keep your family member company. We have lots of land and trails to walk on. I have a large crate available if needed.

About: I have had my own dog, or taken care of my friends' dogs throughout my life. I love dogs and cats, sometimes even more than people! I work full-time, but would love to spend some time on weekends or weekday evenings with your furry friends. I love going for walks, going to dog parks, cuddling and playing with dogs and cats. I have a fenced in yard and a clean, safe home. I am very active and enjoy exercise, so if that's what your pet needs, I am happy to help!

About: I've had cats my whole life, and am currently a regular cat sitter for my neighbor in my apartment building, and have been the cat sitter for my entire family, grandparents, aunts and uncles for my entire life to teach me responsibility. I have always been the kid that was given $5 to take care of someone's pet and I'm proud to say that

About: I have both cat and dog experience, will make sure your pet is happy and having a good time. Would love to start caring for your pet soon!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats and have experience training my Labrador through her puppy and adolescent stages. I’m great with both playful puppies and gentle senior pets. I love being active, so walks and outdoor time are always a priority. What sets me apart is my mix of care, patience, and hands-on experience with pets of all ages. Tuesday and Thursday I am available for evenings, along with Friday mornings and some weekends! I do travel during the day which makes pop - ins much more convenient. Whether in my home or my client’s, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and fun environment. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible—whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or quiet time.

“Avery did an excellent job dropping in to care for my cats. Not only did my cats quickly warm to Avery’s warm and calm energy, but Avery followed instructions to the t and was very flexible with a few last minute schedule changes. The update texts Avery sent each day put my mind at ease and I was relieved to know my cats were in such good hands.”

About: Hello! My name is Marielle and I'm an animal lover. I grew up on a farm and have had many dogs, cats, horses and other pets over the years. I've worked and lived at a dog boarding facility where I helped with day to day operations, doggy day care, and was in charge of all off-site hikes! I've also walked dogs more casually, using online apps, and doing house calls and walks around the neighborhood. For the past ten years I've volunteered at animals shelters working with both cats and dogs, doing walks, cleaning up, feeding and bathing, plus some basic first-aid and medical services. Whatever you are looking for I'd be happy to help! My job has flexible hours and I'm available to house/pet sit overnight, stop in and check on your furry friend while you're at work, do a 30 or 60 minute walk, or take them on a hike if they have lots of energy and are well-behaved! Spending time with animals is my passion and I can't wait to meet your best friend! I'm an outdoor guide in the White Mountains and have a flexible schedule. Typically I work weekends and have weekdays free, but sometimes I have weekend availability too! My car is set up to transport animals easily and safety is my number one priority! I currently own a small Long-Haired Speckled Dachshund (12lbs) and a much larger Husky/German Shepard mix (70lbs) so I'm able to accommodate any size and will adjust activity and how I care for each pet dependent on what they need/want.

About: I’ve have 3 dogs and a cat in my own home so I know a thing or two on how to keep your doggy happy and playful. I am an early college student and most of my classes are online so I have a lot of free time on my hands. So I am able to dog sit for long hours if needed or just friendly visits if needed. I live in a house with three very friendly dogs and lots of backyard space for throwing the ball and playing around. Plus I have a lot of hiking trails and ponds for swimming during the summer.

“She was very responsive to all my texts, visited my pets before the visit very close to when she needed to watch them, sent pictures both days, and even played a Christmas movie for my cat!”

About: I have been providing care for animals since I was 13. I have worked with and provided sitting and supervision for animals of all kinds big and small. Having animals of my own, I have come to see the extreme need for good honest sitters to care for your pets while you are away from home. As a nurse for over 33 years, I have also had the privilege of seeing first-hand the impact animals have on a person's life. I will not only take care of all your pet needs, I will assure you and your family will enjoy time away knowing your pets are safe and happy. My current experience has been working with all animals including pregnant mommas, newborns, adults, disability needs, and hospice. I currently am a foster mom and have provided a safe loving environment until they find their forever homes. I have devoted my life caring for pets and do this on a full-time basis to provide and dedicate every moment I have to your pets needs. My home has a fenced in yard, area in my home for privacy and rest, and more love than any one pet could need. I will also do overnights at your home so your pets can feel comfortable in their own environment.

About: I've been caring for my own pets since I was old enough to open a can of cat food! I've had cats and/or dogs in my home since birth, and I absolutely adore caring for them. I've also cared for a five-foot iguana we had for 13 wonderful years, birds, turtles, a lovely ferret, fish, aquatic dwarf frogs, guinea pigs, and hamsters. Fins, fur, or feathers--I love and care for them all with great kindness and attention. I am self-employed and work fully online. If you have an internet service in your home, I can stay overnight! My schedule is very flexible, and I enjoy traveling, so if you live a bit farther away, I'm happy to help! My home is already occupied by several timid cats, so I'd prefer to care for your pets at their home, where they feel safe and comfortable. I'll visit as often, and for as long, as you'd like in order to provide your furbaby with the level of care needed, and I'll strive to go above and beyond this with TLC.

About: Becoming a pet sitter was a really natural process for me. I love animals and am very open to helping others. I started by becoming the go-to pet sitter for my friends and family, and then I found out about Rover! I offer both dog boarding and house sitting, as well as walks, drop ins and daycare. No matter what your dog needs, I can help! I'm lucky enough to have a flexible schedule that allows me to work from home every Summer. This allows me to supervise the animals in my care, and to provide them with lots of attention. I've had several dogs in my life with special needs like mobility issues or old age, so I know how to be mindful of these conditions. I'm easygoing, friendly and polite, it's not hard for humans or dogs to get along with me! When I'm not sitting I love gardening and baking. I do occasional work as a chef/baker and occasionally do some consulting work in those fields. I'm active and love hiking and walking around Craftsbury and the NEK. I genuinely care about all people, I enjoy doing nice things and love my friends and family. You can be confident that I will care for your pet and provide you with the peace of mind that comes from knowing your animal is with someone who loves them. I was active on Rover for a little less than a year back in Chicago and developed great relationships with many families, several of whom were regularly in contact for ongoing doggy care. I moved to Vermont to attend Sterling College to study Sustainable Food Systems and Social Justice. I love being in the NEK and will be here for years to come thanks to my partner's job. My full time employment fluctuates which makes pet sitting an ideal supplemental gig for me. Because Rover charges by the night-- I appreciate it if you pay for an additional night if you need me to stay past 10 AM the day of departure. Thanks! Supervision, open and honest communication, specific and appropriate activities and stimulation, and attentive care and nurturing spirit towards every one of the animals I come across.

“Maria was amazing with our dog Lena! Lena was never upset when we dropped her off and never seemed anxious when we picked her up, which is saying a whole lot for Lena. Maria was awesome with the Rover reports, giving us lots of photos, a summary of her day, and a recount of her many walks and potty breaks. Maria is sweet as can be and really just everything you could hope for in a sitter for your pup. She gave us a complete peace of mind that our girl was in great hands. Thank you so much Maria!”

About: Have peace of mind and enjoy your time away knowing your pets are in caring and loving hands at all times 🐩 I started professionally as a pet caregiver in Miami Beach, Florida. Taking care of pets is what I love to do, I do not discriminate against breed, age or medical condition. Complimentary photos/ videos ✅ Extended stays welcome✅ Last minute bookings welcome ✅ Dogs in pairs welcome✅ My regular work is in esthetics.

I work primarily remotely and have reliable transportation for all weather conditions. My kids are respectful of their pets and are home every other week. I have a large farm property and a friendly dog just waiting to wag her tail for a new friend to play with. My cat is very friendly and keeps to himself.

About: This is my full-time job and I love it. I have experience working as a packleader for 3 years at the Petlodge, that Included training along with being able to provide comfort, love and respect with your animal as well as yourself. One day I would like open my own doggie daycare and boarding business, Called The PawLife has moved to the North East Kingdom, I currently live in east hardwick. I am willing to travel as far as Bolton, Greensboro,Stowe, Wolcott, Morrisville, Hyde park and Johnson areas. I am available full time have always had a dog of my own my whole life until recently and knew I wanted to work with animals for a career since. I worked at the Petlodge for about 3 years and was the pack leader of 10-30 dogs per day and some were daycare dogs and some were borders. During the holidays it was always very busy, sometimes up to 60 dogs staying, so if needed I am available for holidays and will have your schedule for your dog with his/her info. At the petlodge I was also the person who handled the dogs who needed extra attention, such as rescues,dogs who preferred to be alone,pitbulls or special needs dogs. I am more affordable then dog resorts or lodges. Most importantly I also provide more one on one time with your dog baby and they will have my full attention. The stay for the dog(s) for doggie daycare sittings and/boardings at my home, would consist of being fed according to their home schedule, if need to give medicine I'm also able to do that, walks, playing throughout the day along with a "nap time" half way thru the day. I have an outside area for walks and also a park close by for the dogs on good weather days. If inside they would stay in a good spaced area with me and will be able to roam free. Kennels and or dog beds, will just be used for nap time or bed time if that's what your dog is used too. I am also willing to let your dog sleep in my bed. As long as their comfortable and feel at home I don't mind. If there's dogs that don't like kennels I will set up an area for them to lay freely but still secure. I am also certified in dog and cat CPR so your animal will be in good hands. I would prefer to go to your home to watch your dog baby. I believe your dog would be more calm and have less anxiety if they aren't the ones to leave. It is probably hard enough them watching you go and would be more anxious if they had to be in a home over night where they don't know the smells, so I do like daycare/long-term stays/overnights at your home, however if there's a need for me to take the dog to my home Id be happy too. I'm also available for lesser services such as drop ins for walks outside while your away at work,doggie daycare, brush outs, baths, nail trim and light training. I currently live in Georgia, Vermont and it's my childhood home. There is a big yard and is more of a country setting. If you live around the Georgia area I'm open to boarding and house sitting here as well. Also this is very important I also ask parents please to pack a blanket, atleast one toy, leash and or harness and most importantly one of your shirts that smell like you so they feel at home.I have a wide open availability starting early morning hours from 7am into late evening . If given the chance, I know my one on one time, patience and trust for the dogs will make them fall in love with me and also works on building trust with humans. I Also would be willing to do cat sitting or other critters as well if needed. I'm very flexible and open minded so if you want me to be your pack leader and sitter just message me. Also with every booking I will be sending all parents pictures or videos of their animals stay, one AM update and one PM update, each day. Hope to gain future repeat clients for long term services provided by myself for my future petcare buisness. I currently live on 83 acres of wilderness in East Hardwick and animals are allowed of course, also have a fenced in dog yard with a dog house. For house sittings walks and drop by visits. I also took time off to have my son Dragan, in April of 2019 and due to the virus just decided to take more time off to focus on my son but I am ready to get back to work and refocused. Probably looking to start out with 2-3 clients per week then slowly build up my list of clients. My mom is watching my son for me so I am able to start rover up again, so I am able to accept requests and do what I love I always care for others furbabies as of they were my own. I also ask the client to leave a List of any instructions they may have and I try to do everything the same as you so the fur babies routine doesn't chance much.

“An incredible sitter. Clearly loves dogs and has so much fun with them. Sends beautiful videos and phots, and treats dogs with so much care. 10/10!”

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: I've cared for all kinds of animals including farm animals like chickens and goats to typical house pets, Right down to a sugar glider once I have a wonderful schedule that allows me 3 days off. With school getting ready to pick back up again and winter on its way. I'm looking for a little extra income and what better way than to spend some hours with the best things on the planet, pets! Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday are my days off so those are the days I will be available most often. Though, because I don't leave for work until noon, I would be open to morning drop-ins when possible on the weekends. It's important for pets to know they're taken care of fresh food and water. Some play time and company clean litter boxes and walks. Their comfort is key.

“Gemma was exceptional! She took great care of my pup and was very flexibility about timing. I will definitely recommend her and hope to use Gemma’s wonderful service again.”

About: From as far back as I can remember I have been living animals and taking care of them. I have always had a large variety of pets and then worked in Petsmart in high school to gain a greater understanding of pet care needs. My love of animals continued to follow me through out school where I got a degree in environmental biology and have been working with wild life ever since. I still have pets but I would love to meet yours and care for them as if they were my own! So currently I am working seasonally in marine biology and fisheries and have just got off a boat for the season. Because of this I have ample time to tend to your pets needs until I head back out to sea next summer. I will be working part time on the slopes this winter but making time to take care of pets is a routine that I am used to so I would be happy to make my winter schedule work with yours. I believe a tired dog is a good dog, I too need exercise so I plan to keep your pet active and engage to help them get to know me and take their mind off you not being there. I also have a very old arthritic dog at the moment so I realize not all pets should be as physically active as others and will pay close attention to any specific needs your pet has to ensure they are happy and healthy.

About: I have been providing care for animals since I was 13. I have worked with and provided sitting and supervision for animals of all kinds big and small.

“Barbara and Darryll are amazing!! Our Mozzy was so happy and well cared for while he stayed with them. They were quick to respond and respectful of our rules. Mozzy came home even better behaved than he had been! We are so grateful to them. It is good to know we have a great place for Mozzy to stay if we need to go out of town.”

“Jennifer was amazing! She’s so sweet and obviously loves animals. She took my dog hiking to a waterfall, when I picked her up she was exhausted and didn’t want to leave! Would definitely leave Bowie there again.”

About: Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do on the side—it’s what I’ve built real experience in. I’ve worked hands-on with dogs for over three years in professional settings, including daycare, boarding, and off-leash adventures, and my most recent role was at a training facility where I learned how to safely manage dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I also own a dog of my own, so I understand the trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. My goal is always to provide structured, attentive, and genuinely loving care so every dog feels safe, happy, and understood. I am also attending school to become a professional canine trainer. Pet care is my entire life. I have dedicated all 7 days of the week and 365 days of the year towards taking care of others and my own animals. Need last minute boarding due to a family emergency? I’m your girl. Everything else closed when you have work? I’m your girl. Taking a weekend trip but no where is open? I’m. Your. Girl. I am not only here for the convenience of you but also your beloved furry friends My yard is currently not fenced,(fence coming soon!) but I do offer leash training for more enjoyable walking experiences. I do daily walks for all dogs no matter the training level they are at. I have 1 very friendly lab mix who would keep your dog friendly dogs company, and I also offer special care for those special pups who are more people dogs than dog dogs for no additional charge. If your dog is crate trained they will be crated for bedtime (9pm-6am) with overnight potty breaks if your pup requires them as well. I keep all dogs and cats separated. Dogs have the downstairs of the home, and cats have the upstairs. I am comfortable with administering basically any medication except needles, the only needle exception being for diabetic animals.

About: I have had a passion for animals my whole life, and love getting to care for new pets and their individual needs. I have a dog, cat, and bunny, but it’s not enough so I want to love yours! I follow detailed requests and always promise extra pets. I have a very flexible schedule and work remotely part time. I reply extremely quickly to texts and am ready to answer questions, concerns, and update you with your pets’ photos! I am great with following directions or special requests for pets and am always responsible in your home. I will make sure your fur baby is safe and sound.

“Maria is an amazing sitter. I'm so glad she is close by. My dog Aidan is 14 and I didn't want to leave him at a traditional boarding kennel. Maria provided daily updates with pics which put me at ease while I was away, I could tell Aidan had a great time with her and Lalo. Plenty of play time and outdoor excursions.”

“Nina was awesome! My dog Mattis had a great boarding experience. I felt 100% comfortable knowing that Nina was taking such good care of my boy. Not only would I recommend Nina to others but will be asking her to sit for Mattis again soon.”

About: With years of experience caring for dogs of all ages and needs, I provided loving care for my senior pup Brodie, who had one eye and mobility issues. I’ve looked after friends' dogs, from a nervous rescue from Ukraine to a brand-new puppy needing training. I’m patient, attentive, and experienced with senior care, mobility challenges, anxious pups, and basic training-ensuring every dog feels safe, happy, and loved. I work remotely, so I have plenty of time for walks and cuddles throughout the day. After 4 PM, I can focus on more hands-on care and training. I’m available for boarding every day and take daily walks in a lovely enclosed dog park near Preston Park. Weekends are completely free for boarding and pet sitting/drop ins. I don’t have a dog of my own, so your furry friend gets my full attention. I can easily crate your dog if needed and take them on daily walks in a secure enclosed park near Preston Park—or explore other spots based on their needs.

“She was so good about keeping me updated and sending pictures of my precious girl! She even took the time to take her on adventures! She has been sleeping and snoring since we got home!”

About: Hi! We’re Charlotte and Lucas. We’re animal lovers who have always had pets as part of our family, and caring for them is one of our favorite parts of daily life. Right now, we have a golden retriever who thinks everyone is his best friend and three cats who each have their own personalities. Our pets, as well as our lifetime of experience as pet caregivers has taught us how to juggle different needs, from high-energy walks to quiet cuddle time. We understand what it’s like to worry when you’re away from your pets, so we make sure the animals we care for feel loved, safe, and at home. Whether it’s tossing a ball until your pup is tired, giving extra patience to a shy cat, or just keeping up with daily routines, we will treat your pets just like our own! Taking care of pets is already part of our everyday life. We have a golden retriever and three cats at home, so our days naturally revolve around feeding, walks, play, and snuggles. Because we’re so used to that routine, it feels easy and natural to make time for other pets too. Between the two of us, we’re flexible with mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Depending on the day and time, either one of us will be available, and we’ll clearly communicate that with you when booking so you know who to expect. At the end of the day, we both just enjoy having more chances to spend time with animals. We know how important it is to feel confident that your pets are safe and cared for when you’re not there. When we’re in a client’s home, we’re respectful of your space and careful to follow your routines. We pay attention to details like locked doors, leashes, and food instructions, because we know consistency helps pets feel calm and secure. Most of all, we want you to feel at ease knowing your pets are being treated with the same love and care we give our own.

About: From a young age, I knew my life’s work would involve animals. I began horseback riding at age ten and quickly expanded into caring for the lesson horses, later managing a boarding barn and earning my riding instructor’s license. After moving to Vermont, I worked at an animal shelter for dogs and cats, which inspired me to pursue a degree in Veterinary Technology. For over 15 years, I’ve worked as a Certified Veterinary Technician, gaining extensive experience in animal care, health, and behavior. Now, I’m excited to focus on providing pets with comfort, safety, and companionship while their people are away. I'm currently working part-time so I have plenty of time for walks and visits. I'm available on the weekends for boarding and a couple of days during the week. I have a fenced in yard and two dogs to keep your family member company. We have lots of land and trails to walk on. I have a large crate available if needed.
