House Sitting Burlingham

“Paula is amazing! So caring and thoughtful, our dog Rosie loved spending the night with her. Lots of walks, lots of snuggles—10/10 would recommend, and can’t wait to work with her again!”

“This is my first time using Rover. Vicki came for a Meet & Greet . She was lovely and confident. I booked an overnight just to be sure it was a good fit as I’m leaving out of country for 11 days. Vicky was great with my dogs who are older and one is anxious and pretty blind. They also require heart meds and some assistance. I would recommend her, she communicated very well. My house was just as I left it which I appreciate. I’m pleased to find someone I feel comfortable leaving my pups with 🙌”

“Yeni was amazing with my dog. She was able to meet and watch him under short notice, was very professional and friendly. She followed his daily routine perfectly and sent me pics and updates during her time with him. I would totally recommend her!”

“Sarahi was really wonderful - very responsible, easy to communicate with, detail oriented, and caring. We felt lucky to have her, and my somewhat frail kitty loved her.”

Laura N.

“Erica came through in a pinch and provided outstanding service for our pets when we were in need. She is very friendly, understanding and flexible with her schedule and both of our pets felt at ease with her. During her stay she was excellent with communication and provided photos and texts that assured us that everything was going great!”

About: Originally from upstate NY, I spent time working as a professional veterinary assistant in Atlanta, GA while in school. In this role, I worked directly under a veterinarian to monitor, clean, and provide medical check-ups for dogs at local pet centers, while also providing care for other animals at a boarding and daycare resort. With this hands-on experience, I am deeply familiar with dog health, sanitization, and administering medications. I enjoy spending time with dogs, understand how to spot early signs of illness, and know how to keep dogs on a fun and healthy routine. Since moving back to upstate NY, I do part-time work as a tech consultant from home. This allows me to give plenty of attention to your pet, while also providing plenty of outdoor activities. My wife also works from home, which allows her the flexibility to help as well. Our house is situated right next to the D&H Canal trail, and we take regular walks on a daily basis.Whether your dog is a growing puppy who needs attentive care or an older dog who requires a reliable, experienced handler, my top priority is maintaining their health, safety, and happiness while you are away. My wife and I both work part-time from home, which gives us highly flexible schedules to prioritize your pet's care throughout the week. Our daily routine naturally includes multiple walks along the scenic D&H Canal trail, which directly borders our property. Because our work keeps us at home, guest pets enjoy consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of playful companionship. Our home sits far back from the road at the end of a long driveway, offering a very quiet, safe environment. We sit on 10 acres of land, featuring 3 groomed acres for supervised play and 7 acres of private woods. While our yard is only partially fenced, we have two large, fully enclosed decks that are completely fenced in—perfect for safe sunbathing, lounging, and secure outdoor activities. We also utilize a collapsible fence that we can pull out and set up to create customized secure boundaries if necessary. For exercise, dogs are strictly supervised and kept on-leash as we head down the driveway to our private access point for the D&H Canal trail, keeping them completely away from traffic.

About: I have experience with many different dog breeds with different energy and health needs. I give all of the animals under my care the same treatment. I would take care of a super senior cat with the same dedication I would a golden retriever puppy. I'm not squeamish at all either, I'm comfortable dealing with body fluids and administering injection and medications. I have volunteered at multiple animal shelters so i've seen it all! Currently, my only commitments are helping to babysit younger family members, which is flexible schedule and only part-time. I have lots of time to not only take care of your animals, but also play with them and give them good entertainment My own dog is a runner, so I am hypervigilant about making sure animals don't dart out doors. I always make sure I physically see the animal and watch them to make sure they look healthy and happy, I don't just leave food and water and go home. I'm more than happy to give daily updates on animals i'm watching there are owners out of town and take pictures

About: I usually work with shy, aggressive or fearful dogs or cats. It can take weeks, months or years to befriend them but when you do it's extremely rewarding, especially when an animal someone deems "dangerous" comes out to be the biggest sweetheart. I have tons of patience and I believe every species of animal deserves love and respect. As humans, it's our duty to be the voices and guardians of the animals in our care. They look to us for comfort, guidance, love and peace. That's why I do anything in my power to donate or volunteer at animal shelters because every animal should know that there's humans out there that actually care about their well being. Working with animals is a great career for me. Update; 8/2020 I’ve been volunteering and working with pets as a professional pet care provider for five years now. Through my journey I’ve learned pet CPR and gained dog training knowledge through Poochpals llc as well as worked as a dog handler at walterspetstyles. I’m currently working on becoming a certified dog trainer and furthering my knowledge on Pet care. At Poochpals we believe in being a friend for life so I’m definitely bringing our motto into the field and looking to become a furever friend for your pets. If you’re ever in need of an actual PROFESSIONAL pet care provider, look no further! I also have basic training knowledge so don’t be surprised if your pup or cat comes back knowing a few new tricks 😂 I have open availability Monday-Sunday. I look forward to meeting you and your pups! My dog, Odin, loves to make new friends of all species. Updates:4/7/2026 Hello friends! I would not be at 29 Hanford anymore due to instability, so I’m moving my business down to NYC before heading to PA. We have multiple fences in house and around the property. Pups are also supervised 24/7 and we have a designated dog room just for them. Back porch is also secured with gates. Dogs aren’t allowed on the lawn without human supervision and a 20ft leash. Lawn is fenced. We have strict safety procedures when it comes down to pets and children.

“Lexi watched my three pets, including an older special needs cat. Her communication was wonderful - great question, photos and updates, and just a cheerful confidence that helped me feel very comfortable leaving them in her care. They and the house were in great shape when I returned and I could tell the cats and dog were well cared for. Thank you so much!”

“Sidra was wonderful at taking care of my pack. She was reliable and prompt. She also kept good contact during the evening and morning she stayed with them.”

Peggy N.

“I recommend James highly. James took phenomenal care of our 2 dogs (1 who is blind) and shy cat. James regularly kept in touch, followed our directions well, and left our home very tidy. James is excellent!”

About: I have been taking care of animals for as long I could remember. Growing up I always had pets that I’ve cared for and learned from then on about feeding my pets to taking them for a walk so doctors visits etc. I’ve had a lot of pets growing up ranging from rabbits to guinea pigs, dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, ferret, turtle. All were very well cared for and very loved. I love being around animals and being able to help out people who are working long hours and need some extra help with caring for their loved fur baby. I’m very familiar with dog and cat sitting for other people and taking dogs on walks. I usually go to other people’s houses to care for the animals because I find it easier for the owner. I’ll always make sure your fur babies are happy and active by going on walks or even playing ball around the yard.

“Victoria is a wonderful dog sitter! She took great care of our senior dog, and kept us updated along the way. Thank you, Victoria!”

About: Hello! Animals have always held a special place in my heart since I'm a little girl - yes, I was the "Mom, can we keep him?" girl at 8 yrs old. Lol. Ive been working as a veterinary technician for the last 11 years, and I consider myself blessed to be able to do what I love every single day ❤️ That being said, if your pet needs any medication, insulin injections, subcutaneous fluids etc, I am able to do so. I am also fear-free certified, and am proud to say that many dogs that were once terrified of the vet, have made great improvement with these low-stress handling techniques over time! I have 2 Chihuahuas, Enzo and Lola. They're my world. My animal-loving fiance and co-owner also helps me run this business and would most likely be doing mid-day visits as he works from home. We offer complimentary (and mandatory) meet and greets prior to finalizing any service as we want you and your pets to feel at ease! We very much look forward to meeting you and your fur-kids!! My fiancé and business co-owner Bill works from home so has flexibility during the day (within reason) and I work part-time. We work as a team to provide exceptional, compassionate gold-standard care to your fur-babies. They receive a lot of 1 on 1 attention and love! We have a large fenced-in yard for safe and supervised play time. All of our boarding pups get an airtag placed on their collars as well for extra safety precaution. Your pets have free reign of our home and are even welcome to sleep with us!

“Absolutely wonderful! Very friendly and communicative. Our girls were super relaxed and happy when we got home to a very clean house. 10/10 would book again. Thank you for all of the pics and updates on our girls over the course of your stay.”

“Kalyna is the best!! She really helped us with some last minute care changes and was sure to send lots of pictures. I can tell my dog loves her!”

Madison A.

“Couldn’t be happier with Dawn’s care. Timber was well taken care of, given lots of exercise, walks, and affection. We really appreciate the photos and updates. We feel so comfortable having Dawn in our house and caring for Timber. Thank you!”

Nicky F.

“That’s such a sweet detail — here’s the updated review with that added in: ⸻ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ She was absolutely wonderful with Ozzie, Molly, and Pita. Her calm, low-key energy was just what they needed. When I got home, everyone was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. She even took the time to run water for Pita, which he loves. It was such a thoughtful touch! It gave me real peace of mind knowing they were in such capable and caring hands. I’ll definitely be using her again.”

Christine F.

“Rhylee did a fabulous job with our dogs! One of our dogs is a rescue and requires time and patience to earn her trust. Rhylee provided both perfectly and was able to administer her medications as well.”

Don R.

“Ashley was great and very easy to work with. We'd love to have her again.”
