Christine is fantastic. So friendly and caring to our pup and even managed to be nonplussed by the two neighborhood dogs deciding to join in on the walk! Highly recommend her.

About: Over the past 10 years, I have cared for a myriad of pets with many different temperaments and needs. I have learned how to read pets' body language to best serve them and to create a good bond with them. I am an avid walker, looking for some fur friends to take with me! I am a stay at home mom of 2 young children who will be in school during the day. I also have availability during weekends and during school breaks. I have my own transportation and I can jog or walk long and short distances, depending on your dog's need. For check-ins, I am happy to clean up any accidents your pets may have had and will give them love and attention while I am there.

About: Since I was young we have always had animals in the household. When my parents would leave town I was the primary caregiver for them. I have also taken care of other people’s pets when they are on vacation. From mice to the large dogs with hooves for paws, I’ve taken care of most animal species and loved them all! I work two part time jobs, one in the morning and one in the evening, which leaves me with plenty of time inbetween and afterwards to hang out and play with your pets! I would follow your pets usual routine to the best of my ability and carefully go through all instructions that are left for me. Most weekdays I am able to stop by for a couple of hours inbetween my jobs and the come back at dinner time!

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for 7 years now. I grew up having Siberian huskies of my own. I loved walking, bathing, and playing with my dogs. My family and friends have also relied on me to walk and bathe their dogs including overnight care. I love taking dogs to the dog park! Hi! My name is McKenna :) I am a college student living in burlington full time. I miss hanging out with dogs and want to spend time taking care of them. I am available to care for your pets anytime after 4 pm on week days and on weekends as well. I’d love to discuss any needs you have. Growing up with huskies, I can assure you I take pet care very seriously. I understand that dogs are family members to the owners and need my upmost care. I ensure that dogs are secure in your home and that they cannot run away. I also am a fun loving person and your pet will love my energy!

About: Hi, I’m Stevie! I’ve been around dogs my whole life and can’t imagine a home without them. I currently have two golden retrievers—one laid-back cuddle bug and one energetic puppy—so I’m very used to big personalities, lots of energy, and plenty of muddy paw prints. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments through walking, pet sitting, and volunteering with the Humane Society. I’m comfortable giving medications, supporting training routines, and helping pups who may be recovering from injuries or need a little extra patience. Whether your dog prefers long sniff-walks, a good run, or calm company on the couch, I’ll follow their routine and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. My priority is to give you peace of mind and give your dog the best day ever. I have a super flexible schedule thanks to online classes and a part-time caregiving job. I’m around most days and can adjust easily to what your pet needs. I’m very responsive and can usually accommodate last-minute requests. I follow your dog’s routine exactly as you prefer and can confidently handle crating if needed. I’m always open to a meet-and-greet so you feel fully comfortable before booking.

About: I’ve loved animals my whole life! Before my family got dogs, I begged my parents for any pet they would allow. Eventually they agreed to a dog and I’ve been caring for dogs ever since! I’m currently working full-time from home but my schedule is flexible so I have the opportunity to choose my hours and be available when needed! I always make sure to listen closely to owners when they tell me what their dog needs and how to keep them safe. My priority is making sure dogs are happy and healthy! I’ve dealt with a lot of anxious dogs in my life so I like to make sure every dog is comfortable.

About: I have worked at a doggy daycare for over a year now - learning and honing my skills on reading dogs body language and how to better support them in times of need. I’ve also taken care of family pets and have volunteered at various local shelters for the past 12 years. I love hiking, playing, cuddling and just spending time with furry friends. I also have a rescue puppy that accompanies me depending on the job - an added bonus for playtime and socialization :) At this point I am doing work from home and have a flexible schedule - given enough notice, i will be sure to fit you in my schedule! I care for your dogs as I would mine—plenty of walks, snuggles and love, and playtime both in and outside. I listen to what your specific dog enjoys to do :)

About: Hello my name is Sarah. I'm a college graduate and dog mom. I have a pup named LIncoln, he's a 100 pound black lab who loves to play with other dogs, big or small, so keep that in mind when considering me. Growing up I had cats, a rabbit and a dog; and my extended family had dogs as well, so having 3 big dogs in our house was normal. I love dogs and cats, although I am mildly allergic to cats (that's why I can't take cats to my home to watch). I promise if you allow me to care for your pet I'll do the best job I possibly can. Thank you for your time, I hope to hear from you soon! Just moved down to the sunshine state, and I’m available full time. I take my own dog out quite frequently and would do the same for yours. I am not able to take care of pets in my own home, but I can certainly stay at home with your baby. I can also of course take care of plants/mail/light cleaning if you’d like.
