About: Hello! I am an animal lover from way back, I grew up with many animals from rabbits to geese to horses- so if you have any of those too that will work for me. I love connecting with dogs of all breeds and walking them throughout the neighborhood, or going for a hike, or taking them to a park. I am available for walks, check-ins, and boarding in my own home, where I have a yard and am close to multiple walking trails. Expectations and boundaries are important, as are use of cues and reward systems. Everyone's system looks a little different, and I am happy to provide continuity to promote good behavior for your pet. Let's meet and chat to find if it would be a good fit! My schedule is fairly flexible and open! I’m happy to accommodate you and your pet’s schedule. Typically I take myself out for walks at least twice daily :) My home is well-loved and welcoming. I have family visiting regularly and am also close to trails which are so much fun to explore with dogs!
“Lena did a great job with or 2 cats and 3 dogs including a dog with a developmental disability! We got lots of pictures while we were away including some with the tell tale blurred tail. Proof positive of wagging tails. All are pets are rescues, one recent Finn, who is still learning to trust new people. She passed the Finn test with flying colors!”
“Emily takes excellent care of our pets, communication is always timely and she sends updates and photos! She went above and beyond when we had an unexpected water issue in our home, helping us out by cleaning, calming our pets and being available to let necessary workers come into the house until we were able to get home.”
About: I’ve had all sorts of animals such as dogs, cats, chickens, pigs, and leopard geckos. I’ve grown my whole life with animals. I have lots of skill with all kinds of animals I am currently a full time student but have a lot of free time during the day due to being online for the school year. I promise to provide the best care for your pets, treating them as if they were my own. I also respect your home and will ensure it’s left in excellent condition. While I don’t offer pet care in my home, I’m fully committed to creating a safe and comfortable experience for your pets in their own environment.
“Alli watched our two dogs for about a week and it was great! She was very communicative, sent lots of pictures and updates multiple times a day. I fully trusted my babies in her care, and felt very comforted knowing they were doing good while we were away. She left our apartment very clean - stripped the bed, took out the garbage, etc. We have nothing but good things to say, and our pups are happy too ?”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my whole life. I love respecting your pet’s uniqueness. I currently have a senior cat that I adopted with various medications/injections. I have a flexible schedule with my own business. I like to break up the day and my work from home life with the inspiration of pet sitting! I am comfortable and confident to take care of all of your pet’s necessities in an orderly, clean and dependable fashion. I have experience with a wide variety of temperaments.
“Cindy took such good care of my dog while I was away on vacation. She kept in regular touch with me, by providing updates on how things were going, as well as pictures, which really put my mind at ease. It was the first time my dog hadn't been watched by either friends or family, so it meant a lot to find someone that genuinely loves animals and was fully committed to my dog's needs, as she was very attentive to my instructions regarding his eating schedule and other routines. When I got home, my place was spotless, and she had taken the extra step of doing laundry and making the bed, so I would have clean sheets to return to! I would highly recommend Cindy for anyone looking for an extremely reliable, responsible, and caring dog sitter.”

“Trustworthy and meticulous, Karen spent five days with my two big labs and gave them endless love and attention. Since we have no fence, she had to leash and walk the dogs a lot, and modify for the old limpy dog versus the young bouncy one. She left my house looking beautiful and even did the laundry! I want her back next time I'm going out of town.”
“Jenna was a perfect pet sitter for my dog and cat! She communicated quickly and thoughtfully on everything - from the (last minute) booking to the sitting! Jenna shared photos of my guys throughout the booking, which meant I could continue my work trip without worrying over them. I would highly recommend her for any pet sitting needs - and will definitely seek out her services again!”

About: I’ve helped take care of my family’s Australian Labradoodle, Penny, ever since we got her, 5 years ago. In these past couple years I’ve facilitated dozens of “doggy play dates” (communal dog walking and play time at dog parks and backyards) with dogs of all different sizes. I am very comfortable and confident with all types of dogs, and often dog sit and dog walk for friends and neighbors when they are out of town. I currently live in Burlington and am free on weekends and after 5pm MWF and after 6pm Tuesday and Thursday. I am able to spend as much time as needed with your pets if it makes you, or them, more comfortable! I’m comfortable caring for pets in new environments. I can crate, feed, walk, and play with your animals, and will be clean and respectful to your space and home.
“Shauna was fantastic with Fred & Mojo - came over earlier in the week to meet them and do a practice run pilling the cat (which is ALWAYS a challenge for someone who she doesn't know). So great to have someone who really cares take care of your pets.”
“Eliza took good care of my dog and house while I was gone for a week-long work trip. She is responsible and communicates well. I would recommend her to others and would ask her to dog sit again in the future!”
“Matt is the BEST!! We felt immediately comfortable with him watching our two husky puppies. He took them everywhere and treated them like they were his own. I just can’t say enough good things about him! He will always be our go to!”
About: I’m a fur mama of one 85lb , 3 year old mush who is hyper, energetic , and very needy. I love taking him on walks, to the beach, and anywhere he can go to get his energy out. My fiancé and I are planning our dream wedding and I would love to offer pet care in your house ( or mine if your dog or dog friendly) . I would love to give someone the opportunity to go on vacation without the Warriors of their pet being lonely or not getting the attention they deserve. I’m well experienced in dogs of all breeds and sizes and emotional/ physical needs. I am a teacher Monday- Friday but have weekends and summers off. I can be there before and after school, as well. Weekends I am free. I want to offer your pet lots of love, care and engagement while you are traveling. I try to keep them on their normally scheduled routine and work with the pet parent to make sure they are comfortable or have any special requests.
