About: Hi! I’ve been pet sitting and had my own dog for many years. Now, I have experience from drop-in visits to extended overnight stays, with many different types of needs. I’m dedicated to caring for a pet the same way their owner would and look forward to spending time with animals. I work from home most days and can accommodate a flexible potty schedule and activity level. I enjoy taking breaks to spend with pets, to get outside or tuck in on the sofa! I have an enclosed garden and large, unfenced yard. We are well back from the main road so pets are welcome to explore the neighborhood.
About: Dogs have been a part of my life since I was born. Whether it was the family dog or one of my own, they've always been a part of my world. Numerous friends have asked me to dog sit for them, or even provide kitty playtime when they are out of town. I have experience with senior dogs and animals that require medication or special needs. Every pet is different, and I am committed to making sure they each receive the specific love and care they deserve. I currently work full time as an assistant manager of a local hotel, but will be providing pet care on my days off which are Tuesday and Wednesday, as well as after work which usually ends around 6pm. Safety is a high priority when it comes to our loved ones. When I am around dogs and cats, I am always reading body language and taking my cues from them. I believe in making sure every adventure we go on together is safe and controlled. I am attentive, professional, and flexible if the situation calls for it.
About: I've had cats and dogs my entire life and love both. I have taken care of young puppies and kittens as well as other small animals My weekly routine is fairly flexible now, I make my own schedule.so I can be pretty accommodating at the moment. I also have my own vehicle I can't board at my place presently but I hope to be able to do so in the future. I can pet/house sit anywhere in the greater Burlington area. I have a mini Aussie who can come play if your pets are comfortable with guests :)
About: Hello! My name is Jenal, and I have 30 years of experience. I have grown up with breeds such as German Shepherds, Huskies, Retrievers, and Labs. Currently, I have a lovable Labradoodle and a dog that is an unknown mix, both of which are lovable and playful. Although I work during the day, I'd like to play with your dog throughout the day, at night, during the week, and on the weekends. I am looking to help with your dog while you are at work, on a date night, or out of town. I live in Milton but am willing to travel in Chittenden County and some of the Franklin County Area. I work full time during the week with the ability to flex my schedule. I am able to stop by on my way to work, pop in some time during the day, again after work and before bed time. During the weekends, my days are fairly open which allows for more flexibility. Safety and trust are very important. I would follow the expectations and maintain the routines of the owners. Therefore, this will look different in every household.
About: I’ve alway been a dog and cat lover! I have experience of being a dog owner and also taking care of friends’ dogs. I’ve taken care of puppy and believe in positive reinforcement. I’m a patient and easygoing person. I understand the unique needs and personalities of our canine companions. I’d like to know your pup first. Currently I’m home full time and my wife is wfh. We have plenty of time to play with your pup and take care of your furry babies! I have a big fenced yard at home for your dog. My dog is a 20lb poodle and he normally doesn’t like big dogs. So I prefer small to medium dogs and let’s meet and greet in advance to ensure they get along and your needs can be best satisfied.
About: I grew up with yellow labs and helped raise multiple litters of puppies with my family. I’ve taken care of friend’s pets, but nothing formal. I’ve had my current dog for 3 years and want to expand my love of dogs to yours as well! I love to be active and will take your dog on a run/hike or just cuddle up with them on the couch. I work in a school - currently on summer break so very flexible. Come mid August I will only be available outside of school hours. Every pet and home is different. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine similar to normal and will follow your lead on what you want things to look like day to day. I always walk dogs with a leash.
About: Life long, I grew up with cat's and dogs. Along with other animals in the household. Mainly growing up with two cat's and a herding dog but also two small lap dogs. I'm working Fridays and weekends. Along with heading to college in the second to last week of August so right now Monday - Thursday are my available days I have two pet Friendly dogs that love to play and I would take them to dog parks to be able to get energy out in a safe and monitored environment.
About: I have had pets and cared for family/neighbor pets my entire life. I have experience with training, have a great set of communication skills with pets, and easily build trust through respect and loving care. I am a long time Vermont home owner and AirBnb host, a mom to 4 grown children, and active in community service. I can be trusted, am clean and respectful of family homes! I currently am self employed with a flexible schedule and availability, all days of the week and overnights. My children are grown, so I don't have any pressing scheduling needs. Part of my work is specializing in a healing modality, so I have an intuitive and responsive style with pet care. I take the time to understand what will make you and your pet most comfortable while you are away and pay close attention to details that will make your pet feel the most secure and cared for.
About: I have experience caring for pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities! I have been caring for a wide range of pets since I was young. I have an older dog with many quirks and particular needs so I understand how important it is to meet your dog's needs as an individual. Currently, I am a recent college grad looking to fill out my summer and make some extra cash. Outside of typical dog/cat experience, I also have experience with farm animals such as alpacas, llamas, sheep, goats, and more. I am also experienced with positive reinforcement training and bird handling. As a recent college grad, I am spending this summer working part-time, along with doing pet care when I can. Overall, my schedule is pretty flexible! Your pet's safety is ALWAYS a priority. To create a safe and trustworthy environment for your animals I will listen to you closely about your pet's past and behavior. As someone with zoo/farm experience, I understand the importance of always being aware and attentive to both your pet's behavior and my own. Bonding and building a relationship with your pet so they feel secure and comfortable with me is another top priority!

Whether the pet is a playful puppy, a shy senior cat, or a high-energy dog, Alex adapts with patience, empathy, and skill. She is comfortable with animals of all temperaments and sizes, from the most outgoing to the most skittish. Alex is committed to the well-being of the animals in her care.
