“Joseph & Corbin were wonderful with our little Lola! She loved cozying up on their heated blanket and getting lots of good outdoor time. They were great about sending us photos each day. We'll definitely book with them again!”
“Cara was amazing with our Saint Berdoodle Lizzie! She was so understanding of her energetic, playful puppy personality! She sent us pictures and videos while we were away, which gave us peace of mind. Lizzie came home happy, and we were so appreciative that Cara took such great care of her, especially on such short notice.”
“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.”
About: I can’t remember the last time I’ve lived in a home without a dog or cat! I’ve been training my own furball who’s 10 months old and he’s doing great! I have some time on my hands in between jobs at the moment to help others out. I am currently between jobs for the next few months so I have plenty of time and flexibility to work with your schedule. Happy to fill my days with more dogs! I have a large yard and plenty of trails nearby to walk the puppers! I also have a 10 month old Irish wolfhound that absolutely loves hanging out with other dogs! I have crates - large enough for an Irish wolfhound and room for yours if needed!
“My two border collies had an excellent time, with plenty of supervised play with other dogs. My old guy Luke thoroughly enjoyed his active social life and is quite bored to be back home. Meanwhile, my young dog Rafe completely bonded to Sam and kept her in sight all the time. Plenty of outside exercise and I loved the photo updates. I’ve never boarded these two before but it worked out great and will happily board with Sam again.”
About: I am an experienced pet sitter and animal lover! I grew up with a childhood dog whom I loved very much. When she passed, I began dog sitting often because I adore dogs so much I am a current Dartmouth senior with a very flexible day-to-day schedule. I have an active lifestyle and would love to add your dog into it! I live right next to several trail systems which I regularly use. I also live next to an extremely large, unfenced green space + a small front yard.
“Ashley and her family are the best doggie caretakers! Our dog gets plenty of exercise in a large fenced in area and gets hugs and cuddles when she comes inside. They are such a loving family and I highly recommend them!”
“Jericho had a wonderful week-long stay with Kevin, and we loved the easy communication, flexibility, and pictures that Kevin sent. During the stay, Jericho seemed to be right at home with Kevin's other dogs, and got to go to some of his favourite parks and off-leash trails. We've already re-booked for next time, and we highly recommend Kevin!”
“Emily took great care of our two older dogs. After our initial meet and greet we felt comfortable leaving our girls in her care. We loved the daily updates and many pictures she sent and they came back to us happy and relaxed. We would definitely book Emily again in the future.”
“Gwynn is amazing. She paid attention to exactly the attention (exercise, etc.) that Martie needed and even sent us pictures of their adventures. Martie was exhausted when we got home!”
“Michelle was terrific! Ellie stayed with her for Thanksgiving weekend and came home happy and tired! She was well-loved and Michelle kept us updated with pics and videos… and was super responsive and proactive before and during the entire experience. Thank you Michelle!”
“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!”
“Hannah saved my wedding day!! Our scheduled dog sitter (not from Rover) cancelled on us two days before our out-of-state wedding, and Hannah not only filled in last minute, she might be our pups favorite person💖 She is incredibly warm, they took to her immediately, and we were so grateful 🙏 Got lots of photos of them just relaxing around her and were able to enjoy our wedding day stress free. Thanks so much, Hannah!!”
“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!”
“Fantastic experience! Our little guy is very clingy to us and Sarah slipped right into that role! Pictures everyday and excellent communication through out our out of country trip! Will always use Sarah & Ben!!!”

“Jordan was attentive and so reliable while taking care of our cat, open communication and lots of photos. I would definitely book her again. Jordan is super friendly.”
“Sarah was great and my kitty was very well looked after! She was very responsive and easy to communicate with. Would definitely book her again. I know my cat appreciated the company 😊”
“Elizabeth did a great job! Made sure all my bunnies got their medicine and everyone seemed well taken care of. She agreed to watch a 3rd bunny that I rescued at late notice. Thanks!”
“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!”
“Izzy is fantastic! We had an issue with our auto feeder and she graciously agreed to add a visit to make sure it was functioning properly. She’s responsive, dependable, and friendly. Highly recommend.”
“Julia was awesome and checked in on my cat while I was gone over the holidays. I loved her regular updates and she left a very sweet card when I got home. Very grateful to have found someone trustworthy to take care of my pet while I was away.”
“Sean was great with our 9 year old aussie/corgi. We travelled from Canada and visited Vins Bird rehab Centre while Sean took care of our dog "Willow". Sean responded quickly and was easy to communicate with. He sent updates, pictures, location, and timings for return. Willow had a great time under his care. I wouldn't hesitate to contact Sean again.”
“Armani was great with my cats, who clearly adored her. That's saying a lot, since one of them has fear of new people. The house was immaculate and the litter boxes cleaned out. I also received great pictures and updates. Thanks Armani!”
“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.”
“This is the second time Samantha took care of my kitty while I was out of town, and she did a wonderful job. She goes above and beyond to make sure my shy girl feels safe and comfortable. Will always rebook with her!”
About: I am a life-long cat dad. My first cat, Sassy, was waiting for me when I was brought home from the hospital. I currently have two cats (both rescues), a wild-eyed adolescent and an old girl (still just a baby) who requires oral, nasal, and injection medications. Other than my own, i have cared for the cats of friends and family. I have experience with all age ranges and several breeds. A lifetime of care, love, and learning has taught me that the most important thing with cats is patience. They’ll communicate everything they’re feeling, you just need to know how they want to tell you.
“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!”

I have 3 playful dogs who love to have friends to romp around the field with and go swimming in the river. My property is not fenced in.
“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!”

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.
“Samantha was wonderful! She was very responsive ahead of time with planning the logistics and sent multiple photos and updates during our pup’s day with her. I felt very comfortable knowing Millie was in good hands and would definitely book with her again.”
“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 :-).”
“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.”
“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 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!
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.
“Deirdre was terrific. Our dog, Riley seemed happy and tired after all day with Deirdre. We are traveling, and have had significant car and trailer problems. Deirdre has been BEYOND helpful and flexible with last-minute schedule changes.”
About: With over 10 years of experience in pet care and a love for animals, I bring a personal touch to every pet sitting or walking service. As a mom of two young kids (4 & 6), I understand the importance of reliable and compassionate care. Working remotely (in my full-time career) gives me the flexibility to step in and help whenever you need it, ensuring your furry family members are always in good hands! I look forward to hearing from you! Pet care is seamlessly woven into my daily routine. As a remote worker and mom of two, I have the flexibility to accommodate your pet’s needs throughout the day. Whether it's early morning walks, mid-day play sessions, or evening cuddle time, I ensure your pet receives the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. I provide a safe, nurturing environment for pets both in my home and yours. In my home, pets are treated as part of the family—enjoying cozy spaces, supervised playtime, and daily routines that include walks, meals, and lots of affection. For clients’ homes, I prioritize maintaining your pet’s regular schedule, ensuring they feel comfortable and secure. I offer personalized care, whether it’s playtime, administering medication, or simply providing companionship, all while keeping your pet’s safety and happiness as my top priority.
About: Our home has been a foster refuge since the 90's, I have had the privilege of assisting hundreds of pups and many cats find their loving homes. My experience with so many personalities and individual canines has given me the confidence to offer quality care for dogs in my area. I especially enjoy caring for senior dogs, and I can also support your type of positive training modification. I have been through many, many training classes with my dogs. I have 4 dogs that have earned their AKC Canine Good Citizen awards. Recently, my dog Willow, has received her AKC Farm Dog title. My dog Summer, has earned her CD -obedience- and her NDD, draft title, her Farm Dog Award, as well as many other AKC titles.With the fosters that have come to me, I have worked with MANY types of canines - all sorts of shenanigans...you bet!! I plan my day around walking the dogs, depending on your pets needs, the weather, and your schedule, my day is flexible. Pet care is my top priority I cannot have pets staying at my home at this time, but hopefully in the near future! Right now I am offering in home drop in visits only.
About: I have extensive experience with all types of animals. I work for a petting zoo, have raised two of my own personal dogs, and have cared for many other dogs on and off of Rover.

About: I have over ten years of experience caring for fur babies of every kind! I grew up surrounded by animals, a passion that has blossomed in my adult years.

I am now a human mama to one baby boy who I plan to pass my love of animals onto, we practice and model gentle and respectful handling of all furry friends. I am an animal mama to two goldens, some chickens and a few cats. I work from home, so naturally, spend all my days doting on my fur babies and yours too! Your pets will always be treated with love, kindness & patience by me - whether in my home or yours! Please note: I currently have an infant so I am unable to stay overnight in your home at this time. I accept housesitting requests however, as I am able to offer early morning and late night visits, as well as up to 5-6 visits / daily while house sitting depending on your pets’ needs.

I have experience with every pet type, from Great Danes to bottle fed kittens.

Otherwise, they’ll get to hangout with my family 24/7 which includes my two golden retrievers, Franklin & Jasper. Franklin & Jasper have never met a dog they didn’t LOVE. For peace of mind, our dogs will never be fed in the same space as your pet(s). We always welcome you to come see our home and meet Franklin & Jasper before your scheduled drop off date so that you can feel confident and stress free while out of town. If I am watching your pet within your home, my visits are extremely flexible. I am able to accommodate feeding and walk schedules seamlessly.

About: I grew up on a small hobby farm in Vermont and have always had animals around. In high school and college, I volunteered at High Horses Therapeutic Riding Program in Sharon, Vermont and developed a love for horses. Whether it be your cat or your cow, I am excited to meet and care for your animals and home! I am currently job searching as I just finished my master's with Middlebury College, so I have plenty of availability for the summer and possibly beyond. I am comfortable caring for many different kinds of animals and I will closely follow instructions on how you wish your pet to be cared for
“Nora is so sweet and did an amazing job walking our pup Willow! She was very flexible and accommodating and sent lots of updates throughout. Our pup was definitely well taken care of!!! Definitely will be booking again in the future!!! :)”
About: I began my journey in animal care at the age of 15, working at a dog boarding and daycare facility. Over the course of six rewarding years, I honed my skills in managing and caring for dogs of all breeds and temperaments. While I later transitioned to office roles, my passion for the outdoors and animal companionship has never waned.

About: I am a life long cat owner but have a particular love for working dog breeds. I have experience with blue heelers, labs, retrievers, greyhounds, and the occasional Belgian Malinois. I am comfortable walking, playing (including the extra mental stimulation working breeds require), feeding, and administering oral medication to well trained dogs. I am currently a part time student and full time cat owner. Outside of class/travel times, my schedule is flexible. I will only accept work for days/times I can be fully committed to what your pet needs. My two cats aren’t pets, they’re family. They each have their own personality, needs, and forms of communication. My older cat loves her sunny spots, chin scratches, cardboard scratching sled, and mint-sticks but will never chase after a toy (just treats). She has her routine and sticks to it. My younger cat is simultaneously skittish and demanding of butt-pats. I just need to pay attention to what she’s communicating. If it moves, she’ll chase it. Your cat would be like another family member with their own personalities that need to be learned and adapted to. Like cats, dogs have their own personalities and communication styles that need to be learned and understood. But there are also extra considerations depending on size and breed. Working dogs need exercise, games, and puzzles to solve. Some breeds just need to know you’re there for them. As a sitter, I would expect the owner to train their dog and make sure they have access to the space they need. As an owner, you should expect me give them the exercise, attention, and affection they need while maintaining the discipline you’ve taught them.
About: Each pet has their own personality and style and I adapt to exactly what your pets need and want. If they want cuddles, they get cuddles. If they want space, they get space. It's all about the precious pets needs for me. I provide 5 star service and have a flexible schedule to meet your and your four legged friends needs! I don’t have a furry friend of my own but I love the opportunity to give a little love to all the pets I meet. Any dog big or small is awesome in my book. My aim is to make them happy and your life a bit easier! I look forward to hearing from you and getting to spend time with your wonderful pets! I currently work a 9 to 5 remote job and have plenty of flexibility to meet you and your pets needs. I can house sit or do drop ins as needed with my schedule. I am the happiest when I am around dogs and enjoy playing with them! I have been the go to dog sitter for my friends and family for over 8 years. I have access to trails in my backyard and live and work in a dog friendly area. I love meeting new friends and having fun adventures around our gorgeous town.
About: I just got home from visiting my extended family and miss their dogs. I have been an ‘auntie’ to my parents, brothers and friends dogs for many years. My lifestyle is very flexible. Animals give my life, joy, fun and happiness. My college aged daughter just started using this platform and absolutely loves it! I’m excited to give it a try! I helped my daughters care for their small animals when they were little and living at home. I have helped care for my brothers and parents dogs by visiting and hanging out with them. I spent the last six weeks helping my mom with my dad who has dementia and regularly walked their dog Lucy, who I love and miss dearly.
About: I’ve had dogs for most of my life and have been a trusted pet sitter for family and friends over the years. I genuinely love both dogs and cats-they bring so much joy to my day! Whether it’s going for walks, playing, or simply keeping your pet company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust caring for your furry family member. I work full-time Monday through Friday, but I’m available for walks before work, during my lunch break, and after work. I’m also happy to provide overnight care in your home if needed. I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine and provide dependable, loving care while you’re away. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priority. I’m happy to care for them in the familiar environment of your home and will follow any feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, or special requests you have. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for.
About: Dogs bring such joy! I believe they are gifts and we are lucky to have them in our lives. We currently have a spoiled Australian Shepherd. I have learned so much as an Aussie mom, and love sharing helpful info with other dog parents, especially if they have a herding breed. I love all dogs, no exceptions! They deserve to be spoiled and appreciated for who they are. I offer pet care in your home, where your pet is most comfortable. I also have my own pet care insurance, and am pet CPR and First Aid certified. I work full time in the upper valley and have a flexible schedule that allows me to work from home several days a week. If you have WiFi, I’m happy to work from your home to accommodate full-time snuggles and care for your pet while you’re away! I believe that dogs are part of the family. I love spending time with them, walking with them and helping them to socialize. They are gifts!
About: I have been taking care of my friends and family’s pets for as long as I can remember. I have experience both with unruly puppies and sweet old dogs. Currently not working so pet sitting would be taking priority in my schedule. So I will have plenty of time to give your furry family members the attention they need I would ensure a safe environment for your pets and would to pay attention to any hazard that may be left out when your dog may be left alone

“Joseph & Corbin were wonderful with our little Lola! She loved cozying up on their heated blanket and getting lots of good outdoor time. They were great about sending us photos each day. We'll definitely book with them again!”
“Cara was amazing with our Saint Berdoodle Lizzie! She was so understanding of her energetic, playful puppy personality! She sent us pictures and videos while we were away, which gave us peace of mind. Lizzie came home happy, and we were so appreciative that Cara took such great care of her, especially on such short notice.”
“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.”
About: I can’t remember the last time I’ve lived in a home without a dog or cat! I’ve been training my own furball who’s 10 months old and he’s doing great!

I also have a 10 month old Irish wolfhound that absolutely loves hanging out with other dogs! I have crates - large enough for an Irish wolfhound and room for yours if needed!
“My two border collies had an excellent time, with plenty of supervised play with other dogs. My old guy Luke thoroughly enjoyed his active social life and is quite bored to be back home. Meanwhile, my young dog Rafe completely bonded to Sam and kept her in sight all the time. Plenty of outside exercise and I loved the photo updates. I’ve never boarded these two before but it worked out great and will happily board with Sam again.”
About: I am an experienced pet sitter and animal lover! I grew up with a childhood dog whom I loved very much. When she passed, I began dog sitting often because I adore dogs so much I am a current Dartmouth senior with a very flexible day-to-day schedule. I have an active lifestyle and would love to add your dog into it! I live right next to several trail systems which I regularly use. I also live next to an extremely large, unfenced green space + a small front yard.
“Ashley and her family are the best doggie caretakers! Our dog gets plenty of exercise in a large fenced in area and gets hugs and cuddles when she comes inside. They are such a loving family and I highly recommend them!”
“Jericho had a wonderful week-long stay with Kevin, and we loved the easy communication, flexibility, and pictures that Kevin sent. During the stay, Jericho seemed to be right at home with Kevin's other dogs, and got to go to some of his favourite parks and off-leash trails. We've already re-booked for next time, and we highly recommend Kevin!”
“Emily took great care of our two older dogs. After our initial meet and greet we felt comfortable leaving our girls in her care. We loved the daily updates and many pictures she sent and they came back to us happy and relaxed. We would definitely book Emily again in the future.”
“Gwynn is amazing. She paid attention to exactly the attention (exercise, etc.) that Martie needed and even sent us pictures of their adventures. Martie was exhausted when we got home!”
“Michelle was terrific! Ellie stayed with her for Thanksgiving weekend and came home happy and tired! She was well-loved and Michelle kept us updated with pics and videos… and was super responsive and proactive before and during the entire experience. Thank you Michelle!”
“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!”
“Hannah saved my wedding day!! Our scheduled dog sitter (not from Rover) cancelled on us two days before our out-of-state wedding, and Hannah not only filled in last minute, she might be our pups favorite person💖 She is incredibly warm, they took to her immediately, and we were so grateful 🙏 Got lots of photos of them just relaxing around her and were able to enjoy our wedding day stress free. Thanks so much, Hannah!!”
“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!”
“Fantastic experience! Our little guy is very clingy to us and Sarah slipped right into that role! Pictures everyday and excellent communication through out our out of country trip! Will always use Sarah & Ben!!!”
