About: I am a life-long animal lover who has cared for pets for as long as I can remember. In fact, I could think of nothing I would rather do than devote my life to animal health and well-being, so I became a veterinarian! I am no longer in clinical practice, as I now focus on wildlife population health; however, I retain my love of creatures great and small and appreciate the opportunity to provide in-home care to your beloved dogs and other pets. I otherwise miss the snuggles, as I do not currently have pets of my own! I know the value of the human-pet bond, and I strive to give the highest quality care. I am comfortable caring for pups with special needs or any number of other critters (cats, birds, reptiles, rabbits, rodents, etc.). My only limitation is that I am at work full-time during the day, so I would not be suitable for animals needing mid-day care on a daily basis.

About: I've been around animals my entire life, and I've always considered them part of the family! I got my first dog when I was eleven, and over the years, my family grew to include six dogs. My parents and I have also fostered dogs together, giving me hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, breeds, and backgrounds, including those who need a little extra patience, reassurance, and time to adjust. I've spent years pet-sitting for family, friends, and neighbors, caring for pets through overnight stays, feeding routines, walks, playtime, and lots of love and attention. I currently live with two cats, so I'm comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and understand that every animal has their own unique personality, needs, and routines. My favorite part of caring for animals is getting to know their individual personalities and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I want every owner to feel comfortable knowing their furry family members are in good hands. I’ll always do my best to make your pets feel right at home and give them the same love and care I would give my own! I recently moved to the area and currently work remotely, which gives me a very flexible schedule! I'm available to give your pets plenty of attention throughout the day, whether that means walks, drop-in visits, playtime, or keeping them company while you're away. I'm happy to work with your pet's usual routine and do my best to accommodate your scheduling needs. I know how important consistency is for pets, and I want to make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved! My top priorities are always to create a safe, trusting environment and to ensure a comfortable atmosphere. I make sure all pets feel secure, calm, and loved. I carefully follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, and house rules to maintain consistency as needed and possible. In a client's home, I treat the space with respect and keep everything clean and organized. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure, and I'm very mindful of my surroundings during walks. I also take the time to get to know each pet's personality so I know how to respond appropriately to their needs and comfort levels. Communication is key, so I always provide regular updates, photos, and messages to give pet parents peace of mind. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where all pets feel comfortable and cared for, and each owner feels confident they've left their pets in good hands.

About: I've spent years hands-on with animals through my volunteer work with Saint Nicholas Animal Rescue and Merrymac Farm Sanctuary, and years of pet sitting growing up in NYC so caring for your pet isn't new to me, it's something I already do because I love it. I'm patient, attentive, and comfortable with pets who need a little extra reassurance. I treat every animal in my care like it's my own: regular check-ins, plenty of attention, and a personal update from me so you're never left wondering how your pet is doing. I have a dog myself and have had a cat(s) most of my life. I have taken care of cats that needed medication as well. Pet care fits naturally into my routine right now, my schedule is flexible since I'm building my own business, so I have real availability across weekdays and weekends rather than being squeezed into just a couple hours a day. I check in consistently and never rush a visit and will do my best to work around your schedule. Your pet's safety and comfort always come first. In my home, my dog Monty stays in his own separate space when I'm caring for a cat, so there's no stress or unwanted interaction. I keep a calm, quiet environment, follow any care instructions exactly as given, and send regular updates so you always know your pet is safe and well cared for.

“Ilsa is an excellent cat sitter! She shared many spectacular pictures of our kitty, and seemed to fully appreciate how exceptional our cat is (the #1 quality we look for in a cat sitter). Looseseal was borderline aloof when we got home, a good sign she was well snuggled! Additionally, Ilsa is a great communicator, left the house in ship shape, and even cleaned our sheets. She also drew us a cat portrait — truly 10/10 service.”

About: Fueled by a genuine and passionate love for animals, I was a small-animal veterinary technician for 9 years. This led me to earning a pre-veterinary science degree from the University of Vermont followed by a job working at Cornell University Veterinary Specialists' small animal hospital. I have since changed my career but still pursue animal care in my free-time. This includes pet sitting, dog walking, and anything else you may need. From dogs and cats to bunnies and birds, I had it all growing up and this pet hobby has transcended into my adult life. I'm confident administering medications, trimming nails, scrubbing your fish tank, or simply walking and playing with your pets. My friends, coworkers, and family have relied on me for years for top notch pet care. I currently work from home full-time and therefore have a lot of flexibility to come care for and play with your pets! I take my own dog on walks, hikes, or to the dog park every day and would be glad to do the same with yours. Ample exercise = a happy pet! I care deeply for animals and will do all I can to keep them safe, happy, and health. I have a fenced-in yard in the New North End of Burlington that is perfect for supervised dog play and exploration. We are also just a 5 minute walk from the Starr Farm Dog Park. I follow all leash rules and will never let a dog go unsupervised while playing with a toy or eating a treat to eliminate choking hazards. I am an excellent rule-follower so if you have a special request for in-home care, let me know and I'll follow it to a T.
