“John is more than amazing. He is so caring, loving and kind to our Pup. Milkyway is so happy when we leave him and the entire family makes pup feel at home. I knew the first time I met John and his family they were an excellent choice. They treat pup as if he is one of their very own furr babies. I highly recommend John. Don’t think twice, contact John for his services.”

About: I spent a lot of time volunteering at a rescue shelter. I started off with the basics; walking, socializing, playing and being a friend. I eventually became more involved and had a great time doing it. I helped with social media, took photos of the dogs, assisted with adoption and fundraising events, foster care and the biggest experience of all was the time I went along on a road trip to South Carolina to rescue dogs from shelters and bring them back to Vermont for adoption. For many reasons, that is an adventure I will never forget. I'm available most weekdays and some weekends. I'm flexible, so times can be discussed. Please check my availability or contact me if you have questions. Thanks! I have a fenced backyard that has plenty of space for playing and running. My home is clean, safe and comfortable; the perfect home away from home. There's a spacious finished basement that the dogs can use for playing with toys or just hanging out. My very friendly dog, Sylvia would love to play with your dog. Communication, dependability and trust are very important to me.
“Christina agreed to M&G for us while we vacationed in Vermont. A day of doggy daycare was arranged. We've had the Beagles up and down during our vacation. Riley needed a day to play with friends. Roxie just needed a day to relax. Great day for all.”
“Louis & Haley put Archie at ease right away with their calm, welcoming manner. It was his first visit and I left him for 3.5 hours. He was calm and happy when I picked him up. I know he would be happy to go back and hang with them again.”
“Our dog Lyra had a lovely first day with Eric. Eric sent us frequent photo updates (one of Lyra snuggling on the couch, a great sign) and took her on some walks. Lyra came home calm and content. We'll definitely work with Eric again and would recommend him.”
“Wonderful sitter. This was my first time leaving Benji with anyone I didn’t know, and Hannah made me feel so relaxed about it. Benji had a great time from the sounds of it, playing in their garden and running around. I would definitely rebook if I were in the area again.”
“Danielle was wonderful. She accommodated our repeatedly changing schedule and was excellent to deal with. Danielle’s manor is calm and peaceful. Both dogs took extremely well to her. Danielle sent photos and videos. I would definitely recommend Danielle and hire her again.”
“Alma is caring, loving and attentive. She provided a safe space for our Sadie. We will not hesitate to book with Alma when visiting Burlington again. I highly recommend Alma.”
About: Hi there, I’m Brooke! I have experience with large dogs, small dogs, senior dogs, adult dogs and puppies. I’m a proud dog mom to a three year old black lab named Bailey. I only care for one family at a time so they get the care and individual attention they need. Feel free to reach out to me at anytime for pictures/updates or FaceTime calls. I know I always worry when leaving my own dog so I will do everything I can so you won’t have to! I currently work from home which leaves me with lots of time to love on and play with your pups! As long as I know in advance, my schedule is quite flexible. I will do everything that I can to to meet the needs of your dog to assure they are safe, comfortable, and of course, having fun.
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was really young and have always had a love for animals; especially dogs. My neighbors and friends always had me house/dog sit when they went on vacation. My favorite thing to do is take the dogs to trails to run or walk with them. I'm currently a SAHM to my 5 month old son and three dogs looking for some extra money. I am available all week to walk dogs, check-in on them, board them, or stay at your house to care for them. I have three dogs that love to play with other dogs and exploring that many different mountains here in Vermont. I grew up always having at least six dogs among many other animals so adding an another dog or two to the pack for the day or weekend isn’t that big a deal. I just want to be able to give someone else’s dog a fun time because all dogs deserve to run around sniffling whatever their hearts desire. While I don't have a fenced yard your pets will be safe. I make sure to leash any dog before opening the door. I also make sure to take any dog in my care to a safe place where they are able to get the exercise they need.
“Kanchana and her family gave Ricky such a great day of love and fun. She was so loving and accommodating and sent great photos and updates throughout the day. We know he will be in great hands in the future and look forward to having her watch him again. Thanks for a great day!”
“Zoraya took great care of Aila! Aila came home well exercised and tired from the day. Zoraya kept me updated on how Aila was doing and had quick response time. I will definitely be rebooking daycare!”
“Anabel was great! We booked her last minute and she was able to accommodate our needs. Malu felt very comfortable and Anabel sent many pictures! I'll definitely reach out to her again next time we're in Burlington!”

I’ve housesat for a family friend’s 2 cats, as well as for my sisters and former partners 3 cats a couple times, and my other sister’s dog(whom I boarded), bunny, and cat on a handful of occasions:) I also recently just hosted my sister and one of her cats for over a month and now have a space with no pets again:( so I’d be happy to host!

Christopher M.
“I can’t say enough great things about our experience with Chris! We recently went away for a week and left our dog Jak in his care, and it was hands down the best decision we made. From the moment we dropped Jak off, we knew he was in loving, capable hands. Not only did he provide a safe and clean boarding environment, but they also went above and beyond to make sure Jak felt right at home. We got regular updates and photos, which made our time away so much more relaxing. Jak got daily walks, tons of playtime, and plenty of cuddles — it was like a vacation for him too! What really stood out was how attentive and genuinely caring Chris was. By the time we picked Jak up, it was clear he had made a new best friend. If you’re looking for someone to trust with your pet — whether it’s for boarding, daycare, or walks — I highly recommend Chris. He will treat your pets like his own, and that peace of mind is priceless. Thank you for taking such amazing care of Jak. We’ll absolutely be back!”
