Doggy Day Care in Winooski

“Nicole Jazmin was great! She took care of Phoebe so nicely and we were able to have a fun care free day knowing she was taken care of!”

“Spencer cared for my 3-legged dog over one summer and did a fantastic job. He was communicative, adapting to my dog’s needs & invested in the care he was giving. I cannot say enough great things about Spencer; I would trust him 100 times over to care of any of my pets!”

“Caitie was great! She was flexible, responsive, and very kind to me and my dog. Caitie asked good questions about my dog’s care. My dog was in a good mood after a day with Caitie. I definitely recommend her!”

“Blair is a very loving pet mom herself and has watched my furry kids several times. She not only feeds, waters, and cleans up after them, but pets them and talks to them when I have not been home so that they are happy and content. Super reliable and very polite. I had no concerns with her and could enjoy my time away from home fully.”

“Alma is caring, loving and attentive. She provided a safe space for our Sadie. We will not hesitate to book with Alma when visiting Burlington again. I highly recommend Alma.”

“Gregg was awesome! Took great care of Howard and gave him some time out with his pup. 10/10 recommend!”

“Janessa approaches dog-sitting like she approaches anything else in her life; with dedication, commitment, genuineness and responsibility. Her love for pets, reliability and consistent communication makes her an excellent choice for taking care of your beloved furry friends.”

“Tess is the best. She’s known my dog (Winn) since she was just a wee pup and has shown her nothing but love in all of their time together. Winn loves spending time with her auntie Tess, and I can’t imagine a better person to take care of your pups.”

“I cannot say enough good things about this experience. We are traveling to VT on vacation and needed someone to watch Thor while we did some indoor activities. Matt and Cassidy were amazing from first contact to pick up. Thor became fast friends with their dog Atlas and every photo they sent me showed how happy he was. As a nervous mother, they managed to quell any fears from the very beginning. I’m so happy with this experience! Thank you, Matt and Cassidy!”

About: We are a family of animal lovers here! My husband and I served animals in shelters and hospitals for 15+ years! And want to continue.. I'm currently job searching, working part time and home a lot of the time, and happy to have some pet therapy while I look and help! I have a fenced small yard and a 2.5 year old who goes to daycare. Pets will be on the first floor mostly and get walks and cuddles and everything else in between.

About: I grew up with pets in my house & grew up learning how to care for all pets. Making pets feel comfortable in a foreign area is something I pride myself on. I am a student at UVM & work part-time at the hospital. So I have plenty of time to hang out with your pups & take care of them when their parents are gone !! My apartment is VERY pet proof, and I live on a street that is great for short & long walks. There is also an unfenced area outside of my apartment for easy-access potty breaks.

“Macy takes great care of my two corgis. Where it’s for just a walk or if I need her to watch them for an extended time I never have to worry about them when Macy is watching them. I cannot recommend her enough.”

About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats my whole life and have taken care of them for at least ten years:) (feeding, walking, bathing, administering medications, all the love, playing and pets,etc) I’ve also cared for my very old and very sweet cat who struggled with some basic tasks as he became blind and incontinent up to his parting, and would do the same for any of my families animals! I’ve housesat for a family friend’s 2 cats, as well as for my sisters and former partners 3 cats a couple times, and my other sister’s dog(whom I boarded), bunny, and cat on a handful of occasions:) I also recently just hosted my sister and one of her cats for over a month and now have a space with no pets again:( so I’d be happy to host! I am temporarily unemployed due to layoff during the winter season, therefore I have plenty of free time to provide excellent and holistic care for your pets! Have good amount of indoor space and some shared outdoor yard with picnic table and some frisbee tossing space! There are plenty of nice places to walk around my neighborhood in Winooski, and there’s a dog park 10 mins in walking distance from my apartment!

“If you're considering why Cia would make an excellent dog walker, look no further than her inherent qualities and abilities. Firstly, a great dog walker possesses a genuine love and affinity for dogs. This isn't just a job to them; it's a passion. They understand the nuances of different breeds and individual dog personalities, enabling them to cater to each pup's needs effectively. Secondly, reliability and responsibility are key traits. A dependable dog walker shows up on time, rain or shine, ensuring the dogs in their care receive consistent exercise and attention. They understand the importance of following instructions meticulously, whether it's regarding dietary needs, medication, or behavioral training. Additionally, communication skills are paramount. A great dog walker keeps open lines of communication with pet owners, providing regular updates on their furry friends' activities and well-being. They're attentive listeners, able to understand and address any concerns or special requests from clients promptly. Furthermore, a good dog walker prioritizes safety above all else. They're knowledgeable about canine behavior and are equipped to handle various situations that may arise during walks, whether it's encountering other dogs, wildlife, or unexpected hazards. Lastly, passion, patience, and positivity round out the qualities of an exceptional dog walker. Cia would approach each walk with enthusiasm, turning it into an enjoyable experience for both the dog & the walker :) Her patience knows no bounds, whether it's dealing with a hyperactive puppy or an older dog with mobility issues. And through it all, their positivity shines, creating a nurturing and joyful environment for the dogs they care for. In essence, someone who embodies these qualities would undoubtedly make a great dog walker, enriching the lives of both the dogs she walks and their owners alike.”

About: New to Burlington area and Rover! Moved from Jersey. I had a dog for 10 years, we rescued him from a farm when he was four (a handsome GSP) so I have been around dogs my whole life. We potty trained, crate trained, and yard trained him. After he passed away at the age of 14, I started dog sitting and house sitting a yellow lab named Maisey who loves to hike, has a bit of a sass to her, and won’t pass up an opportunity to jump up on the couch with you. I then moved to Burlington Vermont and am looking to provide the same love and care for dogs up here! I work from home, so it is very easy for me to be around the majority of the time. The longest I would plan on being away from the home is an hour. I go on daily walks and runs, plus always get outside during the day which is perfect for potty breaks. I live in Burlington so I am steps away from the waterfront and dog parks if approved by the owner. I currently do not have pets in the home. For walking, I go on at least a 20-30 minute walk every morning and do the same at night or a run down by the water. For boarding, I will be home the entire day to care for your pet since I work from home. For house sitting, since I work from home I could work from your house and be there for your dog the entire time requested.

“Brian is one of the most attentive and affectionate caregivers one could ever ask for in looking after their pet. I have a rescue pit-mix whose life started as a bait puppy for a fighting ring and often doesn’t get along with other dogs, who’s allergic to almost everything, and who is more demanding than a toddler when it comes to attention and affection, and Brian’s extensive training and background working with rescue animals, rehabilitating dogs and cats, and as a Veterinary Technician have made him someone that my dog Leeloo and I both love and trust very much. Brian has stayed with Leeloo for many overnights and is a true professional with regard to giving Leeloo her many daily medications and making sure she actually takes them, is excellent at incorporating her training into walks and playtime, and gives her all of the affection she craves to the point that she can see him or hear his voice from a block away and will start crying just to be with him. He’s an exceptional person, has a natural way with animals, and is incredibly knowledgeable about the relationship between humans and dogs. Leeloo and I could not give a higher recommendation for a walker or sitter and love Brian very much! Thank you Brian!!!”

“Carly is the sweetest! This was Ruby's second day with Carly and when she got out of the car her tail went crazy and she ran up the steps. Carly is so sweet with her and I feel great when Ruby is in her care. Thank you for being awesome!”
