House Sitting Vergennes

“Kateri was great and we hope to use her again. She stayed at our house to care for our cat and dog. She was a respectful house guest and gave us lots of updates on how they were doing. I really appreciated her patience with our cat and that she took our dog on some adventures!”

“Mildred is fantastic with pets. Our dogs and cat loved her and she frequently sent us sweet photos of them while we were away. We will be sure to book Mildred next time we are away!”

About: I have spent my whole life with pets and love to spend time with animals! I've been pet sitting the past 10 years part-time for friends, family and neighbors. I work remotely, allowing for flexibility for dog walks and house sitting. I work remotely and my schedule is relatively flexible, so I'm available for walks, drop in or house sitting pretty easily! With a little notice, I can work from your home and care for pets full-time, or stop by for walks as needed. I don't currently have any pets of my own, so your pet(s) will get all my attention. I like to communicate with the owners ahead of time to discuss their pet's schedule and needs (food, meds, length of walk, etc.)

“Elizabeth is wonderful! She housesat for us and our pets for 5 days and took great care of everyone and everything! She sent us updates and photos and we felt confident that we'd found just the right person for us and our dogs. That all meant we could really enjoy our vacation. Our dogs were happy and even playful with each other (pretty great for older dogs!). They loved her and were not perturbed at all that we'd left them... not even sure they even missed us (haha!). She is experienced, comfortable with animals, intuitive and very smart. As empty-nesters, our dogs are our kids and we knew they were in excellent hands with Elizabeth. She took perfect care of our house, too! We recommend her so highly and you can be sure that during your time away from home, your pets will be cared for beautifully!”

“Our dogs LOVE Meghan! She took excellent care of them. They played endless Frisbee, went hiking and swimming, and enjoyed the company of her dog Izzy. We came home to happy dogs. Meghan was very respectful of our home and even watered a few plants for us. Thank you Meghan!”

“Kathy did a wonderful job watching my pets/house. Despite having 2 dogs, 2 cats, which I know is a tough job, everyone was well cared for. She provided regular updates on their well being, and check-ins. Would highly recommend and ask her to stay with the herd again!”

About: My aunts and friends have always had dogs, so growing up I had a lot of experience with a wide variety of animals. I’ve helped my aunt train her excited Chocolate Lab puppy, taken care of my friend’s barky, 11 pound Mini Pinscher while they were away, and helped feed, walk, and play with my own household’s anxious, raw diet mut, Sheila. I know how to love and take care of any type of dog—from loudly outgoing to shy! I just finished my sophomore year of college and am looking to help care for anyone’s pets this summer. My schedule is open, so I am flexible to visit your pet whenever you need! I will gladly take your dog on a nice long walk and play with them around your backyard to release any pent up energy! Inside, I’m also up for playing with toys and giving lots of pets!

“Steven is great! He’s friendly and our dogs couldn’t have been happier and more well taken care of when we got home. He was quick to take our sitting job in a pinch and we look forward to having him hang with our dogs again in the future!”

About: Relationship with animals has always been a passion of mine. I started grooming dogs with my grandmother at the age of 10, but was her assistant long before I earned the title. It brings me joy and fulfillment to care for pups and cats alike, while creating an environment where they (and you) can feel safe and earn my trust in the process. As a part time bartender at Pascolo Restaurant in Downtown Burlington, it would fit into my schedule to walk dogs in the morning, afternoon and early evening as well as weekends. There is a lot of freedom to work around your schedule :) In my home, I live off of Main Street in Vergennes and can provide safe walking around town as well as some of the trails near by. In your home, I am quick to adapt to whatever will make you most comfortable!

“Janet is fantastic! She’s friendly, communicative, and a true animal lover — plus, she left our apartment absolutely spotless. We’ve already rebooked her for more house-sitting and cat care!”

“Alyson is a local business owner and an excellent and reliable dog/pet sitter!”

“Karen is extremely kind and pleasant. It was hard to tell she was even here! She took great care of our dog, even giving him a bath! He was very happy with her. We would use Karen again!”

Peter D.

“Laura house sat for us for the first time and she was wonderful! Daisy seemed to be very content with her. Laura responded quickly to my texts and sent great photos of Daisy. We will definitely have her again and highly recommend her!”

Helen H.

“Beatrice was so sweet with our 2 little pups. They took to her right away, and when we returned, they seemed to be very comfortable with her! We will certainly reach out to her on our next visit to Burlington. Thanks!”

“Elise watched our pack this weekend and did such a great job! Leading up to the weekend Elise was very proactive in getting information on them and asking important questions. We were kept up to date on a regular basis with pics!! This made for a stress free weekend and allowing us to enjoy the wedding out of town! Highly recommend!!”

About: I have been working with animals for the last ten years. Started working in dog daycares and moved my way up to vet medicine where i now am a vet technician. I am patient and understanding to all pets personalities and ages. I am currently working 3 days a week on a specialty service at a veterinary hospital. My weekends are typically free and I would love to fill the time with your furry loved ones. Will be very respectful of your home and make giving your sweet boy or girl my devoted attention. Back yard fence in play is great but leash walks are also great!

“Jaelyn was very communicative and took great care of our pup and home.”

About: I grew up in rural Virginia, in a county bordering Shenandoah National Park. That area of Virginia is primarily known as being the horse capital of the country, and like every little girl, I fell in love with horses. In order to afford riding, I’d often trade farm work for time in the saddle; and so, I grew up surrounded by creatures great and small. Not only was I responsible for taking care of my family’s personal dogs and cats, but also the farm animals (in particular, 15+ horses at a time, farm dogs, and barn cats). My unique upbringing with horses and other animals has made me a versatile house sitter. Since I was 16 (5 years ago!), I have consistently been house sitting for families with dogs, cats, and horses. Moving to Burlington has brought me away from animals, as it is hard (nearly impossible) to care for a pet while being a full time student living in an apartment. Thus, I’ve joined rover in hopes of reconnecting with my four legged friends. I am happy to help care for your pets in whatever way you see fit! I love running, walking, hiking, or simply lounging, and am flexible to your pet’s needs. As an animal lover myself, I am committed to making sure your pet is happy and healthy! I work as a barista 4 days a week from roughly 7 or 9am (depending on my shift) to 3 or 5pm. My work schedule is usually planned a month in advance and any days that I am not working at the cafe I am available for dog walking or house sitting duties. In my free time, you can find me running, working out, reading, or painting. If your dog is an active creature, I would love to take them on runs or walks! If not, I am more that happy to care for them and keep them company while you’re away! I am not able to keep your pet at my apartment for extended periods of time due to my living situation with four roommates. However, I am more than happy to take them on adventures or visit your home to care for your pets!

“We had a wonderful experience with Shannon! She followed our directions perfectly, making sure our dog felt comfortable and cared for. She even gave him lots of cuddles, which he loved. We found her to be reliable and trustworthy, and it was great to know our dog was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”

About: I have had multiple dogs since I was a baby and absolutely love them! Having had a variety of breeds to grow up with I have learned a lot about dog behavior and safety. I walk my 3 dogs daily and feeding/cuddle time. I have bathed, walked, and watched dogs for neighbors and family. Taking care of a dog is like a kid your dog would get the best care with reliable responses and some cute photos while your gone :) This is my full time summer Job before college in the fall! I am fully available weekdays and weekends. My motto is life is constantly changing so I take same day bookings and cancelations. I am here for your dog and sometimes its unpredictable, my high availability can help take one thing off your plate! Staying with your dog or walking your dog, I would treat it like babysitting my past job, dog in sight at all times, it is properly cared for per owners' instruction or breed. Feeding time will always be done carefully and as instructed. My priority is to make your dog feel comfortable and safe. Playing and attention is not something to be worried about I have been doing that my whole life with my fur babies!
