“Can’t say enough good things about Christine!!! She really goes above and beyond for your pet. You can tell how much she truly enjoys caring for your fur babies, from sending you pictures through out her visits, to popping something on tv to comfort your pups while you are away. She always communicates with us the plan for her visit, which we appreciate more than anything. We would highly recommend using her for your next pet drop in!! 10/10 :)”
“Kate was amazing! She came the day prior to my booking to meet Mullie to ensure her drop in visit was a success and it definitely was! I am thrilled with Kate’s service and will be recommending her to friends!”

“Ashley did a great job with our cats and they loved her! She reliably took care of them and sent lots of cute pictures and dealt with a couple unforeseen circumstances above and beyond the call of duty. 5/5 would book again!”

About: In addition to petsitting for 10+ years, I have been a proud dog parent for more than 5 years. Due to unforeseen circumstances within a breakup, I no longer have dogs, and miss them desperately. I would love to care for your dogs as if they are my own! I work remotely and have a flexible schedule. I'm very active, and I'd happily take your pups on walks and hikes with me if they're into that kind of thing. I will care for your dogs as if they were my own. I love to play, cuddle, and meet their needs - whatever those might be. I have experience with puppies, administering medication, and caring for all types of dogs, especially those with quirky personalities.
“I recently had the pleasure of hiring Taylor through Rover, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. From the moment I reached out, her communication was prompt and clear, making the entire process smooth and stress-free.She arrived on time, which I greatly appreciated. It was evident that she genuinely cares for animals; my pup and cats were treated with love and attention. Taylor provided regular updates and adorable photos, which made me feel at ease while I was away.I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. Thank you, Taylor for taking such great care of my furry friends! We'll definitely be booking again!”
About: I’ve lived with and taken care of all kinds of pets my entire life. I have been pet sitting for others for about 12 years and have experience with dogs of all sizes, cats, hamsters, turtles and fish, birds, and lizards. I take pride in making sure any pet I care for is loved and treated as if it were my own fur baby. I’m currently a college student at UVM, working a part time grocery store job on the weekdays and part time at the mall on weekends. However, I will have plenty of time in the mornings and evenings. I have 3 giant dogs at my home in Ohio, so I have plenty of experience dealing with big fluffy giants. I currently live in an apartment in Burlington with a roommate (who is also an animal lover). All of the families I’ve pet sat for can vouch that I am very responsible, trustworthy, and communicative. I truly enjoy being around animals and I make it a goal to show them all the love I can while their families are away. This includes but is not limited to, daily walks, lots of playtime, bathing, and plenty of attention.
“He was great with our cat and dog through multiple challenges! We had a water leak while we were away and he gave us updates. Our dog was extremely stressed with us being gone and David went over the top to bond with him and help him. He was communicative and trustworthy. We definitely recommend him!”
About: I grew up with two dogs and currently am the owner of a cat. I have always loved animals of all kinds and have had two years of experience doing drop in visits for cats. Part time student, I am open for drop in visits or dog walking on most days when I do not have to go to classes. I like to work within whatever specifications owners have for their pets and take extra precaution to make sure that they feel and are safe.
About: My name is Mary Rose and I find being friendly, caring, compassionate, and attentive around dogs to be effortless. I cared for my own wonderful West Highland terrier through his life, managing a strict three-meal per day schedule and medications (he was a very sensitive boy!) and it was all a joy to do. I look forward to meeting some new dogs and getting to know their unique personalities! I have a very flexible schedule, as I work remotely. I can pop out for walks, hang out with your dog, and am available for lots of different setups. I have free time for longer walks, availability to go for quick trips outside, and to sit with your pet to make sure they are happy as can be! Before caring for your dog, I would like to hear everything you do for your dog so that they miss nothing but YOU while you are away. Preparing a space to be free of hazards, ensuring we have plenty of food, water, and toys, and getting to know how your pet typically interacts with a space are a given for me. Every dog and family is unique, and I plan to honor your needs in full!
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was about 11 years old. I started by taking care of neighbors dogs and cats and soon got my own dog, Mario (seen in my profile picture). I trained Mario through a puppy class. Mario is now 14 and I have experience with his senior dog care needs like medical attention and needs around deaf/blindness. Since I started caring for animals I have also cared for birds, cats, and chickens. I now have a 9 year old rescue American Bull named Makai. I love playing, cuddling, and giving love to every animal I care for. I work as a teacher. I am done working around 3:30 and can be available for walks/play promptly after work. I work in the New North End of Burlington and live in the East End of Burlington. I am very active and can happily take animals on long/high energy walks/runs if needed. I am also happy to spend requested amounts of time to socialize with your pet. I can crate animals if needed. If your dog is being walked I will ensure the leash is properly fastened. If your request is that your dog does not socialize on walks with other animals, I will ensure they do not. I am respectful of your wishes in your care for your animals and am happy to help!

“Liddy is the most reliable and trustworthy dog sitter I’ve worked with! My dog Max can be a little particular and nervous, but she immediately won him over. She’s great about sending updates without me even having to ask which makes leaving him so much less stressful. It's clear she's a dog whisperer and I always know he’s in good hands when she’s taking care of him. I’d recommend her to anyone who wants a sitter who’s responsible, communicative, and actually pays attention to your pet’s needs. Will be booking Liddy again 100%!”
