“Took great care of my 2 cats. We were in the middle of a move and she made sure the cats had all the food and toys that they wanted at their disposal the whole time.”
About: My adult daughter brought home a pup 4 years ago and I have been forever changed. I now get the unconditional love thing. I want to be around animals more than I do people!!! SO I am relatively new at it but very enthusiastic and want to help the owners. For the summer, I wanted a little more freedom in my life so I am choosing to try pet care for three days a week, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Currently, I am not available for weekends - although there might be an occasional weekend I might be available. I am happy to care for pets in your home and will adhere to all your guidelines! I would also love to care for your dog in my home, although it is rather small.
“Tom and Jade were amazing! Very attentive and made sure I was comfortable. They sent lots of updates and are very great with animals. Definitely would recommend and use again!!”
“Angelina was great, stopped in to check on our 5 cats twice a day while we were away. We came back to kitties that were as happy and healthy and cared for as we left them, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book Angelina again.”

“Jade was great! She watched our dog while we were staying at the Woodstock Inn. We went out for dinner and didn't want him to bark and disturb other guests. She arrived on time, took him for a walk, and was flexible with staying a bit longer when I dinner ran later than expected. I would highly recommend Jade.”
“Haley was great! We have four cats, one of which requires a daily transdermal medication, and two of which are on special diets. We use microchip feeders, each one getting filled with different foods and portions, and requiring cleaning every few days, as well as bowls that need daily washing. It can be a lot to handle all the intricacies, but she did great with all of it, while still feeding our aquariums and watering a few plants, scooping 3 litter boxes, and keeping three water fountains filled. And still having time to sit and visit and play with the cats! She is quick to respond to any messages you might send. We felt assured that all our babies received care and attention. We would be happy to have Haley cat (and plant and fish) sit for us again!”

About: I've had a perfect gentleman Australian Cattle Dog for 15 years. My wife and I are now raising a 5 year old Shihtzu/Pekinese mix. I had lived with various other dogs through my 20s. In my younger years, my family had quite a few cats. I've worked at a Pet Hotel as a dog bather/day-camp manager for a couple years. At the day-camp I'd have the responsibility of 20+ animals. With my history I'm very patient and understanding with all animals. My schedule is very flexible. My wife works from home and is also an animal lover. She is very sweet and kind and is the best dog mom I know. I have a fenced in yard on about 1/3 of an acre. There is also a 14lb Shih Tzu/Pekingese mix that would love to play with your pup. If you're dog is agressive with other animals, my house may not be the best spot. Your dog could expect as much outside time as needed here with lots of love.
About: Hi! My name is Jillian, and I love caring for dogs! I have enjoyed meeting lots of family’s and pets through using Rover the last couple of years. Prior to using Rover, I had also been a dog/cat sitter from multiple families in my neighborhood since I was 12. I have done daily dog walking, drop ins, as well as over nights for weeks at a time. I was also a volunteer at the Rutland County Humane Society for 2 years. I have cared for dogs of all ages and sizes and have a genuine love for them all. I am currently doing clinical work for graduate school through December, working 8-4pm Monday - Friday. I can provide pet care around that schedule . I am very reliable and trustworthy. I love this opportunity through Rover. Any and all instructions you leave for me will be followed with the utmost care to keep your pet safe and happy!
“Hannah is an amazing Rover and person! With very little notice, she was able to jump in and help us out with our two dogs over a weekend. Communication is amazing, super flexible with adjustments (on our end), and is obviously an animal loving person! I highly recommend Hannah and will call her again if a need arises!”
“Cindy was able to make a couple of visits to take our dog out on fairly short notice. She went above and beyond our expectations by taking Ollie out for a nice long walk both times. I would definitely ask her to take care of Ollie again.”
“Mollie did an amazing job caring for my kitties during a weekend away. I appreciated her daily check-in text and pictures. We had a last minute cancellation from our booked sitter and Mollie was able to help us out in a pinch, otherwise we would’ve had to cancel plans. I look forward to booking with Mollie in the future”
About: I’ve been taking care of other families animals for about 4 years now. I have consistently watched animals for the same families, and have picked up more jobs along the way. I’m currently unemployed, so my schedule is very flexible! Let me know what type of schedule works for you and your animal and we can make it work! I am very comfortable walking dogs of any size. I have grown up with big strong dogs. I love playing with animals and engaging them to make them happy!
“Lindsey was wonderful! She communicated so well and treated my pups with such kindness and care. She sent videos and pictures and made sure they were comfortable. I would highly recommend her!”
About: I've taken care of many different types of animals including dogs, cats, birds, pigs, guinea pigs, and rabbits. They've been all different breeds and sizes. I am willing to travel to your home so that your pet can stay in a familiar and safe environment for them. I work full time during the summer but am available throughout the day to stop at the house when needed and am available for overnights. I like to meet with potential clients beforehand so that they can get to know me and that I can also learn more about their pets, house, and typical schedules. This creates a foundation of trust that is important to my business.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 16! My family has 2 dogs so I know how much your pet means to you. :) My schedule varies slightly from week to week due to school and wrestling, so I make sure to update my calendar once a week to ensure that I am available. Feel free to reach out with any questions! My family has 2 dogs, so I know how much love you can have for a pet. They are like your children. Based off of personal experience, I know it can be nerve wracking trusting someone new with your fur baby, but I promise to provide the best care!
About: I grew up on a farm and have had a love for animals my entire life.I have always had pets of my own and use to breed English Bulldogs.I go abooand beyond for my pets and can give great references. I have a very structured schedule, and if it works, I could take care of your animals to fit around my schedule as well as theirs I prefer to sit in your home as I have 4 dogs of my own.I am honest ,trustworthy and reliable.Lots of snuggles and love given.I am the queen of dispensing medicine as well if need be.
About: I’ve had a dog in my household since I was about 8 years old so basic animal care is easy for me. I also currently have a 2 year old puppy and 4 yr old toddler pup as well as a 4yr old cat. My first dog in the family just passed last yr she was an old girl, but gave me new experiences with an older dog. My cousin has me watch her dog most times she’s out of town and other family members and friends have asked me as well. I always loved animals since I was 3 working with them in some way has always been a passion to me and I hope one day I can expand that. I’m currently working full time, but love to slip in some animal care when possible. My passion has been working with animals since I was three and this seems as a good start for my ladder. I do have a medium size puppy who loves dogs as well. So if your dog is pet friendly a play mate is always great for the amount of energy she has! I like to try and be strict when it comes to basic training with my puppy because I want him to have respect for other people and dogs. So if given certain commands I will help enforce your skills you’ve worked on with your animal. I use stay, sit, no jumping, lay down, leave it, and here with my dog so if you also do that’s normal commands for me.

5. Alyssa B.
“I have known Alyssa for a while now and my dog Teddy is a french BullDog. He does not like when other people enter the house and he barks all the time. Same thing with my other 2 dogs. But When Alyssa comes over to watch them THEY LOVE HER I do not know what exactly why but i know that it is because she is so loving towards animals. She lets them out on time and feeds them when I need her to . My French BullDog teddy loves to cuddle but with random people he does no. So when she sent me a picture of him cuddling with her it blew my mind. Seriously the dog does not like new people but absoluetley loves her. She is an amazing person who will look after your dog no matter the time or date. I Definetly think you should hire her. She has worked in a Vet before so she knows if something goes wrong or if the dog needs something. Consider her if you are looking for a dog sitter or dog walker. SEERIOUSLY !!!!”
