House Sitting in Burlington

“Michelle was prompt, kept in touch every day while we were away, and took great care of Cotton and Maizey, including making sure Cotton got all her meds every day. She was flexible when our plans had to change at the start of our trip. This was our first time using a dog sitter who stayed at our house, and Michelle made us feel really comfortable. We’ve just arrived home to two happy and healthy pups. Thanks Michelle!”

“Jennifer was amazing! Sent updates accordingly, loved on my babies , and my pup was even looking for her nonstop when she left 🥹 thank you again!”

“I had a mandatory business trip and my pet sitter fell through fairly last minute. My 6 year old cat, Ollie, has separation anxiety (I rescued him from abuse when he was 6 months old) and he is not used to being alone for long periods of time because I work out of the house and am home most of the time. While he's friendly, he's not super snuggly or interactive with strangers; he just needs someone to be 'present'.  We had a meet-and-greet prior to booking the stay- She asked all of the pertinent questions about his personality and daily routine (Charlie, my 21 year old cockatiel, is easy- LOL). I was rest-assured things would work out so I booked the stay.  Deanne was wonderful with both Ollie and Charlie. She sent me updates throughout the day and plenty of photos letting me know they both were doing well (although I could tell in a couple of the photos Ollie was a little sad... But that is completely normal- As long as he was eating and following his regular routine I knew he'd 'survive'). This also helped me not stress out or worry about my pets and be able to focus on my trip / business dealings and that's honestly also a big part of traveling for me.  I arrived home, and while I know both Ollie and Charlie missed me, everything went right back to normal and that's what told me Deanne cared for them very well. She also was very respectful of my home and kept it clean during her stay. I'm very glad I found her and will be using her services again. I highly recommend Deanne to care for your pets!”

“As always Emily and her family took Penny in as one of their family members. This booking was also short notice and she still made it work for us. We are lucky to have her and her family!”

“Sweet Abey went through leaps and bounds so we could enjoy our vacation and try to sell our home. We were given updates daily of course and our girls just love her!”

“Brandi is absolutely a treasure, we are so grateful to have her as our puppy caretaker while we are away. Our puppies absolutely love her! Our Bailey is very shy and a bit skittish, but Brandi has won her over with her kind and sweet demeanor. We always know our pups are in great hands when Brandi is here with them. 🐾🩷”

“Haylee was very thorough when watching my babies for a few days at my place. I got back to two loved boys that I’m sure got lots of attention and love!!!!”

“Tami did an excellent job of caring for my three kitties (especially the one that requires extra feedings) in my home. Tami is conscientious - she sent photos and updated me on how my cats were doing each day. Thank you Tami!”

“Diane took wonderful care of my puppy and 2 cats. She was easy to communicate with and sent lots of updates and pictures. I will definitely trust Diane with my pets again!”

“Susana did an amazing job house-sitting for us. Very nice and great communication. She took great care of our home and dog. I fully plan on booking with her again .”

“Declan has been wonderful with our dogs. They like him, which means a lot to us as pet owners. He's always kept us up-to-date with everything at home and I can highly recommend him as a petsitter.”

“Reilly is great with pets of all shapes and sizes, but her ability to train dogs is remarkable. I lived with Reilly when my chocolate lab Harley was young and Reilly helped teach her so much on top of helping with daily care while I was working. I would highly recommend Reilly as a pet sitter and dog trainer!”

About: Hello! Since a young age, I have lived with a happy, excited dog who has always been a joy to come home to. As a younger sitter, I believe I bring a special energy and excitement when it comes to taking care of dogs. I watched my golden doodle transform from a little puppy into an awesome dog. From feeding her, taking her on walks, cleaning up after her, watching her, and simply spending time with her, I learned how to take care of a dog in all phases of her life. I recognize that all dogs behave differently, but I enjoy looking after dogs who have a ton of energy and love constant attention. That being said, I think dogs who are quieter and might not want as much attention are just as important! Thank you for taking the time to read about me, and I hope I have the opportunity to care for your dog soon! I am currently a college student home for summer break, so I should be pretty flexible when it comes to caring for your dog. Besides taking one online summer course, I will most likely be free for most of the day, if you need me! Although I will not be taking dogs at my own house, I am more than willing to take your dog for a walk in the park, around the suburb that I live in, or on the lake path that I am near. I am more than happy to do whatever makes you feel most comfortable. If that means staying at your house and just utilizing your space, that is great!

“Terri watched my babies for 2 weeks recently while I was in Europe. I was a nervous nelly about leaving them behind. I certainly didn’t want to put them in a kennel / prison. Terri kept me constantly updated with texts and photos on how they were doing. Most importantly she kept them on the small routines they were used to so that they would be less stressed. I too was less stressed. She did a great job. I would recommend her highly.”

About: I have over 35 years of caring for animal experience, very trustworthy, and very well-known in my community. I will care for your animals as my own. I do work a full-time job. My schedule is after 5 o’clock during the week and available most weekends. Able to adjust schedule when needed. I have a fenced in yard. I am able to crate your animal easily if needed. I am able to separate animals when it’s necessary.

About: I have 2 years of formal work experience at a boarding/kennel facility where I took care of dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. Dogs with behavioral issues were also welcomed and given tender love and care along with pets who faced health problems. I am comfortable administering medication, caring for the senior dog community, and playing with puppies who just need to get some energy out! I recently finished my first year of college and can apply what I learned in my animal behavior and biology classes to my position as well. Growing up, I've always had a pet in my home from dogs, cats, and hamsters to fish, reptiles, and birds. I am confident around any type of animal, and I would love the opportunity to care for your pet! This will be my primary job for the summer as I am also going to be volunteering at my local animal shelter. I am incredibly flexible with dates and times as well because of this. I am available during the weekdays for drop-in care, walks, and playtime at any chosen time of the day. I am available Sundays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays for overnight boarding services starting at or around 4 pm (times are always negotiable and catered to your personal schedule)! I am currently certified in canine and feline first aid and CPR through the American Red Cross. I am comfortable with crating your dog if needed. I enjoy leash walking, including taking high-energy breeds or low-energy senior dogs for walks. I confidently supervise outdoor playtime in your own yard or even at dog parks and beaches.

“Ava did a great job watching our dog Jynx. He was happy when we came home and she took good care of the house. I would definitely recommend her to care for your pets.”

“Lexi was quick to respond to our need for sitter for a 3 night stay. She was flexible and easy to communicate with. Our dogs and cat were well cared for during the visit forsure. Will certainly use her again for any help we may need.”

“Thank you for taking care of the girls while I was away for work. They were happy and healthy when I returned. It was comforting know they were being taken care of at home.”

About: Hi! I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 8 years old and absolutely love being around them—big or small! I’ve looked after everything from giant Newfoundlands to tiny French Bulldogs, including playful puppies. I’m also a registered nurse with 4 years of Emergency Room experience, so your pup will be in very capable hands. I’m certified in both Basic Life Support and Advanced Cardiac Life Support, which means I’m calm under pressure and always ready for the unexpected. I’ll treat your dog like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you're away! Pet care fits naturally into my routine! I work Monday through Friday from 6 AM to 3:30 PM, which gives me availability in the late afternoons and evenings on weekdays, and much more flexibility on weekends. I'm also very into fitness, so if your dog loves to stay active, I’m happy to include them in my cardio routines—whether that’s long walks, jogs, or energetic playtime. I make sure each pet gets plenty of love, attention, and exercise to keep them happy and healthy! Right now, I live in a one-bedroom loft apartment with my girlfriend, so I’m currently focused on offering pet care in my clients’ homes. I always make sure your pets feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for in their own space. I follow your routines closely, keep things clean and calm, and give them plenty of attention and exercise. I’m also planning to move into a larger place soon, so I can eventually welcome more pets into my own home for care!
