Dog Walking in Burlington

About: I am a professor at a local university with a flexible schedule who loves hanging out with all sorts of pets. I am professional, punctual, and playful. My wife, Diana, works from home so between the two of us there’s pretty much always someone home hanging out with our doggie guests. We live on 4 acres, about half of which is fenced in for the doggos to run and play safely. We only crate if they are comfortable with that, and if no one is home. My teaching schedule allows me to be home a lot during the week and I am open most weekends. I am also pretty flexible to do drop ins and walks, as well as pickup/dropoff. My wife, Diana, works from home and helps with the pet care. Pretty much someone is always home so the pet guests normally hang out with us most of the day. I know every pet has their own personality so I like to get to know each pet individually and speak with their owners to come up with a care plan. We aim to create the same level of comfort here that your pet has at home. Our guests are part of the family while they are here.

“Karrington was great with my dog Kahne. I had to make a last minute request and she helped me out a ton. My dog is shy and she was great with him! Thank you so much for taking care of my pet!”

“Hailey & Destini, treat our dog Jethro very well! After they walk him he is always happy. We have had Hailey and Destini walking him for a few months now, and Jethro recognizes Destini’s name. When we tell him Destini’s coming today he gets excited. Best walker we’ve ever had!”

“I needed someone last minute to walk my German Shepard and Lindsay was the first to respond. She sent me pics of the walk and also let me know what business he did so I was prepared when I got home from work. I've had other instances where I've had to book last minute, but Lindsay is my girl for pur household whenever we need services, hands down! Thanks, Lindsay, for all that you did for our baby! ❤️”

“Cynthia is very patient with Kwame as he can be a handful. As I work externally and my daughter works at home this walk has really helped Kwame. Thank you Cynthia”

About: As a dog mom myself, I understand the desire for your pet to feel loved and well-cared for. I've had my sweet Australian Shepherd, Bailey, for 7 years now. Although she is quirky and weird, she is the most precious thing to me and my family. It is SO important to be able to learn the unique personalities of each animal you encounter. It is my promise to you that I will work with your pet in a way that suits their needs while giving them quality attention--the same way that I would want someone to treat mine. I've been around dogs my entire life and am comfortable with all shapes and sizes, from tiny pups to gentle giants. I also fostered a dog while I was in college, which really taught me how to handle different temperaments and help a nervous dog feel safe and comfortable in a new routine. Whether your pup needs a high-energy game of fetch or a structured walk, I will keep them safe, entertained, and most importantly healthy! I'm currently working part-time as a medical assistant, so weekends are great for me. I can also do more weekdays as my schedule is made and will post my availability as soon as possible on a recurring basis. I live in a pet-friendly apartment, but have great access to safe walking areas in my neighborhood. My apartment is big enough to accomodate dogs of all sizes, and is animal-proofed!

“Daysi absolutely went above and beyond to ensure that all of my pup's needs were understood. Despite Mac being a little bit nervous about new people, Daysi worked to get him to warm up. I highly recommend Daysi to any dog parent.”

About: Customers will love that I love animals and they will be able to feel it! I have had many animals for long periods of my life. My Cagney ( a min pin) passed when she was 16. My Boo ( a black cat) passed also when she was 16. They were the best! My babies are always interesting - all their personalities make them all so different just like people, except that they love you unconditionally. They are always there no matter what! One of my all time favorites was a bulldog I used to pet sit. He was a funny slobbery clumsy little man. Sliming corners of my jeans and my shoes and running as hard as he could to me when I came thru the door and always ready to hang out and cuddle. Fun stuff!!!!! One customer had two cats that required lots of love visits! They loved to play and run all over when u visited. Mommy Suzanne loved pics so my son and I would get them playing and start taking pics. Sweet personalities. My weakness used to be taking in animals when I couldn't afford any more. I try not to do that now - instead I try to place strays that others bring me into other good homes. My brother took in one such cat that I took in as a rescue. Jazz brought him and my brothers wife a lot of happiness over the years! I am glad I took him in and that my brother added him to his household as a forever family!! The pics in my profile are: Thor the bulldog! Thor Thor bully Thor! Rocky the red min pin- big bark ! Little man!(he's older and whiter in this pic) Boomer is a good ole boy that my younger brother adopted. Just a super calm dog that you can only love. Mae Mae the cat - very RARE close encounter with her on my knee!!! #mustescapefromhumans The last one is good mix dog sitting in his front yard after I have taken him for a walk. His name is so different I can't remember how to say or spell it. Protective dog that I kept for my friend Val. Loves his regular walks. I currently work full time but work from home but and can work from your home if house sitting and/or visit when needed thruout the day(s). I follow your lead. Whatever you allow them to do i will allow and will restrict as you see fit. I go by your rules.

About: It’s your new “Step Dog Mom” I believe every pet deserves Dog-Mom level care—the kind where they’re treated like family, not just a client. With years of experience caring for pups of all ages, sizes, and personalities, I pride myself on creating a calm, loving, and safe environment where your dog can truly relax. I’m extremely patient and gentle, whether I’m bonding with an anxious rescue, entertaining an energetic puppy, or tending to the needs of a sweet senior. I pay close attention to every detail, from their feeding schedule to their favorite belly rub spot, and I’m skilled at reading body language to ensure your pet feels comfortable and secure. You can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and respectful of your home. I provide regular updates, cute photos, and even fun paw report cards so you always know how your fur-baby is doing. Life can be unpredictable, and I do my best to be flexible and understanding when schedules shift. Most of all, I love building connections with each pet I care for—because to me, they’re not “just pets,” they’re family. 🐾 Im available Thursday to Sunday. On Thursday and Friday only I’m available after 5:30pm (due to me having a full time job from home). Saturday and Sunday I’m available all day 🙂 For any Drop-In visits or Walks I do require a complementary meet and greet before booking to ensure your pet is comfortable with me and their “home space” ❤️ Your pet’s comfort and safety always come first in your home. I take time to learn your pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs before each visit. I follow feeding, walking, and medication instructions exactly as given, and always make sure your pet has fresh water and a clean, calm environment. I respect your space—leaving your home just as I found it—and keep doors locked, alarms set, and your pet safely indoors or secured outside as requested. I’m gentle, patient, and attentive to body language, especially with shy or anxious pets. You’ll receive regular updates and photos for peace of mind while you’re away.

About: Current dog mom of 2 and love to care for all animals! I’ve always grown up with a dog in the home and I began my petsitting journey at age 13 when I began petsitting for my neighbors. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, hedgehogs, guinea pigs, hamsters, mice, and fish. I’ve cared for dogs with extra needs (blind, anxiety, behavioral issues, etc.) and am comfortable administering medicine. I’ve watched up to 6 dogs in one household and am comfortable if more are involved! I volunteered at my local animal shelter throughout college working to socialize cats and dogs to help find their forever home! I have a large fenced in yard and live close to walking trails. My dogs are very friendly and love to be social with other, well-behaved dogs! I currently work from home 3 days a week and can offer drop-in visits before 8am or after 5pm. I’m flexible to do one time drop ins or regular scheduled drop ins! In my home, I make sure to keep your pup in a normal routine while you are away. I’m respectful and want you to come home to pup(s) just how you left them!

About: I have a big back yard for your doggo to run around in! As a dog owner myself I know how important it is to keep your puppy busy. I give great belly rubs and I know how to throw the ball around for some fun! I’m a college student who is home full time currently and would love to play with your doggo! I’ve been dog sitting for a very long time. I know how dogs get lonely and need a friend to play with! I’m super excited to get to know your little fur ball and have some fun! I can’t wait to take care of your dog and take him or her for walks and some fun in the backyard! Thank you!
