“Carrie B. and her family completely and thoroughly took care of and loved our pups! You could tell because when Bruno and Boone, came home, they were so loving and happy. From walks, pats, playtime, feeding, and treat time, Carrie did it all, as seen from the pictures and text messages. We will definitely be contacting her for any future pet sitting needs.”
“Deirdre was absolutely wonderful! She took the time to know and understand our boy and his quirks and provided a safe and cozy place for him while we were away. Her communication was frequent and clear, and was very easy to work with. She's very mindful and in-tune with dogs and obviously cares deeply about providing a good experience for them. The model shots we got for updates was also a huge bonus!”
About: I have had pets in my home since birth and am very experienced caring for them. I got my own dog as soon as I was able to at age 18, he lived to be 16. I am experienced with puppies, elderly dogs, dogs with high anxiety, and rambunctious dogs. I'm happy to discuss any dog's particular needs. My husband and I both work from home. We walk our dogs at least once per day depending on weather and time of year. We walk them in the morning in good weather and after work if there is light to do so. Our normal routine is feeding twice a day. We live on 45 acres of unfenced land with an unfenced pond and stream where. I have two big male dogs, an unaltered Golden and an altered mixed pit, and one cat. I also have a baby under one year old.
“From the first contact Kennadi was very responsive and accomodating. We are very selective about who we have watch our dog and were very comfotable with Kennadi and her husband Tyler. You can tell they are real animal lovers and very caring. We would definitely use them again.”

“A Big Shout Out to Brittney for taking care of our Finley for his first weekend away from home. We were a little nervous since our dog has some separation issues. But she kept us updated through text and photos and he looked like he had a great time with her and her cutie dog Pierre. Dogs got along well and our boy looked relaxed which in turn let us know we made the right choice when picking Brittney. We will definitely call her again for future help.. Thanks Brittney!!!”
“Chloe was phenomenal! She watched my Australian Shepherd for 4 days and was very thorough in getting the behavior of my dog, and extremely communicative by giving me updates throughout his stay. She also allowed me to drop him off ahead of schedule to make my life easier. 10/10 would use her again for any and all services”

About: I have cared for dogs of every breed for more than 40 years. I frequently provide overnights in my home and pop in visits for friends & family dogs and have decided to start offering my services to all of you. I am a huge dog lover and will treat your babies like they are my own. Rest assure that you will be worry free while your fur-baby is enjoying their best life in daycare. You will receive updates and many photos while you are away Must be house-trained and not have to wear diapers or pee pads. I understand an accident can happen especially being in a new place. Must be friendly with people and all other dogs without having any aggression Must be up to date on their shots I currently work a full time job and I’m available for boarding on Friday evenings thru Sunday evening with the possibility of boarding during the week. The same goes for drop in visits I have a big yard but it’s not fenced in. I do have a very long lead that goes from one end of the yard to the other for the dogs that cannot be outside without a leash
“Paloma & Gerardo took excellent care of our sweet River for several days/nights while we were away. She had a great time playing with their Aussie, Sara and came home tired and happy! They sent daily pictures & video, took her for walks, and made her feel right at home. Highly recommend this friendly couple 🐾♥️”
“Laura and Tyler were great with my dog! He has pretty bad separation anxiety which makes it very difficult to leave him new places. Laura was awesome about introducing her dogs one by one and letting him get accustomed to her dogs and her home. She tried different areas to see where he would be most comfortable and really put time and effort into getting him to relax and be comfortable. She kept me up to date and make me feel a lot better about where he was and how he was doing. I would definitely use them again when we're in the Adirondacks!”

“It is always so reassuring knowing Bayleigh will be taking care of Chaz. All of the daily photos show how much love he gets to give and receive and makes it so much easier to be away from him! Bayleigh is so thoughtful and communicative - she went out of her way to make sure that I came home to a well cared for home as well as kitty. Chaz and I are blessed to be able to welcome Bayleigh into our home!”
About: My family and I have had cats and dogs my whole life. I cannot have pets in my apartment. But I would love to care for yours like they were my own. I’m available evenings and weekends. I Work full time. I can do overnight stays on weekends. I live in Vermont but and can go as far as Lake George. I don’t have pets. But I would be clean and respectful. I would make sure to follow any rules and guidelines to avoid any accidents. Safety is my priority above all.
About: Common courtesy and communication is paramount. **Willing to travel up to an hour away. Just because Rover says you are outside my service area it does not always mean you are. I have clients an hour North and South of me. **Necessary update as of 6/21/23** I will require current credit card info be on file at your vet or provided for me in your pet write up ONLY in case of emergency. In the event of an emergency and I could not get a hold of the human, puppies have no pockets to hold a card, the vet required me to pay. I have raised 3 separate RESCUE Rottweilers to be exceptional ambassadors of their breed. I currently do not have any pets since my big boy passed away in 2016. I hope to again one day have my own dogs. Until then I will love YOUR pet. **I DO NOT board animals at my home. Only repeat clients would MAYBE be possible for a very short amount of time.** Clients pets have included many breeds, species for days, weeks. Many Golden Retrievers, Doodles, mixes aka Heinz57s, Old English Sheep dog, lots of kitties, a chameleon, turtles, a bearded dragon, a small bird, fish, Rottweilers, a very challenging but lovable English Bulldog and Huskies one of which was very reactive. Oh and a LOT of house plants! PLEASE NOTE: I am deathly allergic to horses which I am very sad about. Any type of animal requiring LARGE amounts of hay would also be a problem i.e, goats, cows, alpacas I am sorry to say. Small rodent animals requiring hay for food or bedding has not been a big deal. My personnel dogs were very public dogs, parks, events etc. With the ever present fact in mind that as good as my animal was it is still an animal. Never purposely putting them in a situation to be loose (unless at home or a fenced park) or get into anything that could harm them. Read quite a few books/manuals by military working dog trainers in hopes of training a service oriented Rottie. Came very close to passing the Good Citizen certification but my dogs never liked the “stay” part when I had to walk away with my back turned. They just had to be next to me. So close. PLEASE NOTE: I have my preferences set to NOT to show any photos of YOUR pet publicly. I would ask permission first to share. Photos only NEVER infomation of course. My schedule allows me to be available to be in YOUR HOME, with your pets all day/night, unless noted ahead of time and of course trips to the store. I have many types of animals that insist on sleeping in bed just like they do when their people are home which in fine by me. Just take some Benadryl and snuggle on in. I try to stick closely to how the home runs normally so the pets do not have any surprises that can make them anxious. Sleep, food, walks, play time etc. I supervise dogs in their own yard fenced or not. I am very organized and like an outlined idea of their schedule to be written down for me to follow as closely as YOU would.
“Colleen was great! She came a few days before to meet my (high maintenance) cat and see the space. She was super warm and nice - I had no qualms about leaving my baby in her care. She updated me a couple times of day, with pictures! My cat was healthy and happy after she left, and the house looked great - she even took out my trash! I would (and will) 100% book Colleen again!!”
“Karen was absolutely wonderful with my two cats. She stayed in my house with them for over a week during Christmas and New Years, was a great communicator, kept me updated with photos, and I felt very reassured leaving my pets with someone so responsible. Upon my return everything was tidy, the cats were well fed with extra food and water laid out, and litter boxes cleaned. It was a great experience and so wonderful having her take care of them while I was away so I could relax and enjoy my vacation worry free.”

“I am pleased beyond comment. I needed a caregiver on short notice and she responded. Then she had to do more than was originally bargained for. She seemed to thoroghly enjoy Bailey and Bailey enjoyed her. What more can you ask for.”
About: I have 100 acres of land for your pet to run on a long lead!! Exercise is included with playtime fun!! Provide bath time too I am retired and have 100% free time to provide to your Pet!! Mon thru Sunday, any time!! Playtime , bath time and exercise !! My Daughter Sadie also runs the buzz with me so one of us will always be available. I’d like to add a fence in the future however I have four outside long runs where your dog can get exercise with the toys that they and I will play with. No need to worry about your dog escaping.
“Desiree was amazing, she responds very quickly. My 2 month old puppy came back so exhausted and I had updates and pics throughout the day. I will recommend everyone to her! And she is worth tipping because she gave excellent service.”
“We were in town for a wedding and another sitter canceled on us so we reached out to Andrea and she was able to take them last minute. Our one guy is timid usually but immediately let her pet him! We felt instantly comfortable with Andrea, her pups and her home. We knew they would be in good hands! Our pups loved both her and her husband and we are so thankful our guys were safe and happy!! If we are ever in town again, we will be booking with Andrea!”
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. In high school I worked in a veterinary setting where I was able to learn pet CPR & emergency skills. 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. Submitting a request as a housesit instead of dropins is more cost effective to you. Please reach out to chat more if you’re looking for house sitting services! I work a very relaxed job from home so I am able to be available to your pet 24/7 for medicine breaks, snack breaks, walks, potty breaks, and scritches! I have experience with every pet type, from Great Danes to bottle fed kittens. If your pet is staying in my home - they can enjoy our fenced in backyard or our dedicated dog loft if they need some time to decompress. 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.
“Chloe is a great sitter! This was our first time using Rover and leaving our 5 month old puppy, Goose. He had no hesitation and immediately followed Chloe when we left. She sent pictures throughout the day and kept us updated. Highly recommend!!!”

About: Not only have I had pets ever since I was little but I have been taking care of them. Friends and family have come to me time and time again to board, walk, bathe or just give their dog some fun for a couple hours! Growing up we raised golden puppies so I have lots of experience with puppies and their needs. I used to work at a dog grooming shop, so handling any type of personality is no problem for me. I love getting outside with any furry friend for some fun as well! I’m currently working part-time so my schedule is pretty malleable to help out with pets. Weekends vary depending on the time of year. Happy to work it out at booking. I live in a house and am around to take your pet outside for multiple walks throughout the day. I can also crate them if need be. I do have a kitty so animals need to be able to get along with a cat.
