1. Ella B.
“Ella was fantastic with my two cats and went the extra mile more than once while caring for them. Thank you so much for providing such great care for them!”
2. Josh P.
“Josh was absolutely brilliant. Extremely professional, responsible and reliable. Great communicator with humans and animals alike (lots of fun photos while we were away). He looked after our two cats for 4 days and we couldn't have been happier. When we returned home our cats were calm, well-fed and happy - food dishes were washed and litter box area was tidy. Josh will be my first choice from now on when we have to leave our cats next time.”
3. Mildred B.
“Mildred saved our cat’s life! While we were away, Beans managed to pull apart a cat toy and part of it lodged in her throat. Mildred quickly noticed that something was wrong and her quick and skilled intervention saved Beans. We are beyond grateful!”

12. Panorea F.
About: I have grown up with a variety of dogs - a german shepard, pug, lab, and mut. I have been dog sitting for neighbors, family, and friends for over six years for dogs of all sizes and personalities! I'm happy to provide any and all types of care to your beloved dogs. I have lived in the Old North End of Burlington for the past few years and love how pet friendly the community is. I am happy to do meet and greets with your pet beforehand to make sure I have all the information about your pet that I need and to make sure it is a good fit. All dogs have unique personalities and needs and I happy to accommodate all. I have lots of experience playing tug-of-war, fetch, frisbee, and all things in between with dogs. I am currently working as a part-time substitute teacher 3 days a week, so I have lots of time to spend with your dog(s)! On days I am working in schools I can spend early mornings and entire evenings with your pets. I also volunteer at the community center in the Old North End of Burlington a few hours a week. When I am not working in schools or volunteering I am able to spend lots of time with your pets outside or in your home where they are comfortable. I am happy to provide the level of care that you and your dog are comfortable with. I can walk your dog anywhere from once to three times a day, depending on your dog's needs. I am comfortable taking a dog on outings, hikes, ect. or spending the day inside with them. I am able to watch the dog in your home to keep the dog comfortable.
13. Taylor-lynn M.
“Taylor is the best! I have 2 medium small dogs that Taylor has befriended and cared for! She clearly loves dogs and they love her! She is caring, attentive to their needs, responsible and reliable! One of my dogs is partially paralyzed in the hind end and gets most of his exercise in his wheelchair/cart. He has various special needs and Taylor did not hesitate to take on this ,challenge learn about his daily needs and exercise routines and has given him the best loving compassionate care. She has come to enjoy my dogs quirky personalities and they quickly warmed up to her. She has stayed in my home and i am perfectly comfortable leaving my dogs with her when i go because she respects my home and keeps her eyes on everything when I am away! She is kind and thoughtful and I feel lucky to have found her!”
14. Cora D.
“Cora did an excellent job watching my cat while I was away. She was flexible with the dates and had very prompt communication. I appreciated the daily updates as well.”
15. Emma D.
“Emma was so sweet with my dog and treated her like she was their own. They stuck to schedule as well as texting me updates and pictures. Would highly recommend Emma as a caregiver for your pets.”
16. Geoffrey P.
“We highly recommend Geoff! He is the best pet caregiver we have ever had! Our 2 dogs and 2 cats absolutely adore him. He has a calming presence that helps especially with our nervous kitty. He also treats our home with respect when staying there to care for our pets. We are so lucky to have him for our fur babies!!”
17. Sade B.
“Sade Bolger is beloved by our two cavachons, Mazey and Theo. We have relied upon him to feed, walk, bathe and groom our dogs on multiple occasions over several years. He has been a great housesitter, too! Sade is a super loving and creative human being who loves to cuddle and play with our dogs. He has also cared for a good friend’s dog, and currently is caring for his own two cats. You will find Sade to be warm, kind, and thoughtful; he will ask great questions, and follow instructions well. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone seeking a skilled, responsible caregiver for a dog or a cat.”
18. Macy W.
“Macy is an absolute rock star. She’s taken care of my 3 elderly problem child cats twice now, and both times, she was reliable, thoughtful, communicative, and went out of her way to be kind to both my cats and myself. If you’re looking for a sitter with expertise in handling challenges like medications and special needs, Macy is 100% on top of it. She’s given my cats transdermal meds in the ears, pills (including to a VERY pill averse kitty), allergy drops via oral syringe, and special diets for each cat including capsules mixed into food. All of my cats are super shy, but they come out for Macy and stay social and happy with her. We’ve tried a lot of different (and excellent!) cat sitters out, but Macy is the best, our go to person. Can’t recommend her highly enough! Thank you so much Macy!!”
19. Malena M.
About: I've had my experience working with my own dogs. I have had my own dogs since I was young until my move here looking to get back into it. I'm currently working part time and a mom so it fits in to my schedule well with notice. I am free most morning and afternoons. I plan to care for dogs based off their pets needs. I am able to work with pups, take them out and for a walk, and put them into a crate if needed.
