Dog Sitting Burlington

About: Animals have been part of my entire life, and I bring 17 years of hands-on animal-care experience along with professional experience as an Animal Care Technician and Laboratory Technician. My experience spans companion animals, small animals, exotics, reptiles, birds and poultry, farm animals, and pets requiring senior, medical or specialized care. Professionally, my Animal Care Technician experience has given me hands-on experience with animal husbandry, daily care, observation, sanitation and maintaining structured care routines. My laboratory experience strengthened the detail-oriented side of my work as well—following established protocols, maintaining accurate documentation and understanding that small changes in an animal’s condition or behavior can matter. My experience isn’t limited to professional settings. I’ve spent my entire life around animals and have personally owned and cared for many different species. That includes dogs, cats, my own horse, chickens and other poultry, small mammals, reptiles and exotics. Having responsibility for animals with very different needs has taught me that quality animal care is never one-size-fits-all. Feeding, handling, housing, sanitation, enrichment, exercise, environmental needs and safety can look completely different from one species—or one individual—to another. With dogs and cats, I have experience across different breeds, sizes, ages, personalities and levels of care—from puppies and kittens through adulthood and senior years. I’m also comfortable caring for multi-pet and multi-species households where several feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, separation requirements and daily routines may need to be managed at once. My special-care experience includes administering oral and topical medications, injections and insulin, subcutaneous fluids, following detailed feeding and medication schedules, mobility assistance, senior care and caring for animals requiring additional observation or support. I follow established owner- and veterinarian-directed instructions within my experience and scope of care. With dogs specifically, I’ve cared for a wide range of sizes, energy levels, play styles and temperaments. This includes puppies and adolescent dogs requiring additional supervision and structure, adults with established routines, seniors who may need a slower pace, and dogs who benefit from a more individualized approach because of anxiety, reactivity, separation concerns or other behavioral considerations. Years of caring for different animals have also taught me to notice the little things: body language, appetite, water intake, bathroom habits, mobility, energy, behavior and changes from an animal’s normal baseline. Those observations help me adapt care to the individual rather than expecting every animal to behave, socialize or settle in the same way. For dogs staying in my home, introductions are handled individually and gradually. Temperament, body language, play style, energy level and comfort are considered before group participation. Not every dog is expected to participate in every activity, and individualized care is always more important than forcing a pet into a particular routine. My goal is to combine professional animal-care experience with a lifetime of hands-on animal ownership and care—providing thoughtful, structured and attentive service while still giving pets the affection and comfort of a real home environment. Fantastic Friends: Home + Pet Solutions | Luxury with Love Pet care is part of my everyday routine, but I intentionally don’t operate on a rigid, one-size-fits-all schedule. Each day is planned around the individual animals in my care, their normal routines, feeding and medication schedules, age, temperament, energy level, weather, group dynamics and planned activities. A typical day may include potty opportunities, supervised indoor and outdoor play, fenced-yard time, walks, enrichment, individual attention, appropriate social interaction, meals, fresh water and plenty of opportunities for rest and decompression. Feeding, medications and other time-sensitive care instructions are prioritized according to each pet’s individual needs. Activities and schedules may change from day to day based on weather, safety and the needs of the animals in my care. The structure stays consistent; the exact itinerary stays flexible. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable home environment rather than a traditional kennel-style experience. Pets have access to supervised indoor and outdoor areas, including our fenced yard. Multiple triple-filtered pet water fountain dispensers are available indoors and outdoors. They are checked throughout the day and cleaned, refreshed and refilled 1–2 times daily, or more often as needed. Pets receive opportunities for activity as well as downtime and individual attention. Feeding, rest, medications, crate or separate-space use when appropriate, and other routines are managed according to the individual pet. SAFETY + INTRODUCTIONS: Safety and compatibility come first. New dogs are introduced thoughtfully and one-on-one rather than being placed immediately into an established group. I consider temperament, play style, energy level, body language and individual comfort when determining appropriate social activities. Not every dog needs to participate in group play to have a great stay. Please disclose relevant behavioral history—including bite history, resource guarding, dog or human reactivity, leash reactivity, separation anxiety, escape behavior, handling sensitivities or significant fears—before care begins. These behaviors do not automatically make a pet unwelcome. Honest information allows me to determine whether my home and care setup are an appropriate and safe match and how your pet’s care should be structured. CRATES + SEPARATE SPACES: Crates and separate spaces may be used appropriately for feeding, rest, decompression, overnight routines, controlled introductions and safe household management. They are tools for appropriate care and management—not a substitute for activity or attention. Please let me know before booking if your dog cannot safely or comfortably use a crate or separate space so I can determine the best care arrangement.

“Natalie took excellent care of my cat. She was responsive and reliable, giving me peace of mind while away. I’ll be booking with her again in the future!”

About: Hello there! I am a full-time musician and a major dog-lover. I have a 5 year old rescue Australian Cattle Dog mix. I love to play, walk and run with furry friends and make music with them (This is quite an entertaining activity for both of us, and a great way to keep them busy). Most of my experience has been in dog-walking, but I'm also a babysitter and love caring for kids. I have a 1 year old who is the joy of my life! I am available for one-time help with your fluffy friend as well as regular help since my schedule is pretty flexible at the moment. I am quick on my feet and great at tidying up after dogs and tiny humans, and can be very firm with pups if necessary. Happy to speak more in person! I’m currently working part-time and mostly on weekends since I’m a musician, so I have quite a bit of time during the week to drop in, feed and walk your furry friends I have a fenced in backyard and an extra crate for pups that I’m boarding, but also make sure that when I’m house-sitting, your fur baby has water, a clean crate and whatever else they need

About: What sets me apart is the level of care and communication I provide. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else because I’ve cared for my own dog for the past 12 years. I follow their routine closely, and provide regular photo and video updates so you always know how they’re doing. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work a full-time job with a flexible schedule, including a few work-from-home days each week, which allows me to provide reliable care and plenty of attention. Outside of work, I enjoy staying active, so walks, playtime, and spending time with dogs are something I genuinely look forward to. I plan my schedule carefully to make sure every pet receives the care, exercise, and affection they deserve while their owner is away. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll treat your space with the same respect and care I would my own. I’ll also provide regular photo and video updates, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was in preschool. They’re my favorite furry buddies in the whole world! I have experience caring for my dogs, not only providing them love but attention as well. One of my dogs had diabetes and needed daily insulin shots and to be let outside regularly. My care of him gave me some additional caretaker skills! I have a dog right now and I have to look after her daily. Whether it’s feeding her, giving her kisses, or taking her for a walk, my day consists of providing attention for my pet! I am always vigilant when it comes to my pet. I watch my dog and pay attention to her cues, making sure that all of her needs are met. I also closely watch out for other dogs and their interaction with mine. By having a dog, I’ve been able to read body language really well, which allows me to remove my pet from a potentially dangerous situation.

About: I have had dogs ever since I was a baby. I had two boxers named Harley and Pedi, then a bulldog named Chumley, and now I have a bulldog named Lola and I can’t picture my life without any of them. I love to play with them, walk them, take them on adventures, snuggle, and have fun with them. My current dog is basically my baby I love her so much! I recently moved out, but Lola comes and stays with my boyfriend and I half the time. Her being around or not can be an easy thing to work around. The new house I moved into has a wonderful yard for dogs to run around in! It’s a very family friendly neighborhood. I am currently a full time hospital worker, working 4 shifts in the week. I have plenty of flexible time on the weekends, and weeknights as well. I usually have one day off in the next that rotates. My home has a fenced in yard, it’s a perfect size to run around in. My bull dog Lola loves the yard when she is over. We have a very safe neighborhood where Lola and I enjoy walks. My boyfriend works from home so when I’m at work he’s able to keep an eye on her. She eats twice a day, loves to play (especially when she gets zoomies), loves to snuggle in the evenings. Caring for pets in my home or another home I would follow any instructions from the owner and ensure the dog is comfortable and having fun!

“Kaitlin was great with our two boys! They really enjoyed her dropping in! She made sure Bruno got some play time while our older dog Bundy got to enjoy the sun. She was very responsive and made sure to give us an update. Thank you so much !”

“I would gladly recommend Brianna to other pet owners! She was on time for the scheduled drop-ins, communication was smooth and she provided plenty of photos each time she arrived.”
