“Audrey looks out for the details when caring for our dogs. Amid freezing weather, we forgot to leave out the dog’s winter jackets, but she knew where they were in the garage and added them for the walk.”

Andrew S.

“Lizz saved the day for us! We had a family emergency come up and had to leave town last minute. Lizz was able to cover all the walks in our absence. She gave us great feedback and won over our shy pup. Highly recommend.”

About: I grew up working on a farm! Not only am I familiar with training puppies and caring for cats, I also know my way around a barn. I have time in the early mornings and evenings to visit your pets! I am also able to house sit and provide daily exercise to any extent you need! I love to go on walks and adventuring in parks. But I also love just sitting on the couch with a dog or cat :) I am flexible and ready to meet whatever your pet needs!

About: I currently have 2 dogs of my own that I’ve had since puppies, so I understand both the fun and responsibility that come with caring for pets. I’m especially comfortable with medium and large dogs, young and energetic dogs, and dogs who need a little patience while they get comfortable with a new person. I have experience with everything from puppy energy and leash manners to post-surgery care. I know that every dog has their own quirks, preferences, and rules, and I’m happy to follow your instructions closely rather than assuming what works for my dogs will work for yours. I’m also a physician assistant; being dependable, detail-oriented, observant, and calm in unexpected situations comes naturally to me. While my medical background is human rather than veterinary, I’m comfortable following detailed medication or care instructions and paying attention to changes in behavior or condition that may need to be brought to an owner’s attention. Most importantly, I treat pets as members of the household rather than a chore to check off a list. I want your dog to get the exercise, attention, affection, and consistency they’re used to while you’re away. I currently have a very flexible schedule which gives me plenty of availability for dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week. I’m able to accommodate daytime, evening, and weekend care, and I can often be flexible with timing depending on your pet’s usual routine. I’m currently taking a couple online courses finishing my doctorate, so most of my schedule can be arranged around pet-care commitments. I’m happy to care for pets in their own home, where I can follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feedings, walks, medications, crating, and any household-specific instructions. I know many pets are most comfortable in their own environment, so I’m careful to respect both their routine and your home. For pets staying with me, I have a fenced yard on an acre of land at a dead end quiet street. I have 2 friendly, higher-energy dogs of my own; I would always want to make sure personalities and play styles are a good fit before having dogs spend extended time together, and I’m comfortable using crates or separate spaces when needed. I pay close attention to secure doors and gates, leash safety, feeding instructions, interactions between pets, and any behavioral or medical concerns you let me know about. My goal is to keep things calm, safe, and as consistent with your pet’s normal routine as possible.

About: I have taken care of my own pets and barn animals for 10+ years. My family and friends have relied me to feed, care for, walk, and play with their animals. I love dogs and cats, and have always been used to having them around. I am a full-time graduate student with a part-time job. That being said, I have time throughout the day, every morning, and every evening to stop by and play with your animals! I also have weekend availability. Since I currently do not own my own home and rent from a local in Burlington, I do not have in-home space to host and/or board dogs or cats.

About: I have provided care for dogs and cats for over 20+ years. I was the first to volunteer in my youth to "stay home" with the animals. I am thoughtful and reliable and understand the importance of a maintained routine. I approach all visits with patience, care, and professionalism. I communicate clearly with pet parents and adjust my care to match each fur baby's personality. Trust and confidentiality are my priorities. Flexible schedule! I am currently between employment commitments while I assist family members with life changes. I am organized and reliable and can accommodate regular visits as well as short-notice needs. I prioritize maintaining your pet's normal routine to reduce any stress and ensure comfort and safety. I follow care instructions closely and monitor behavior and overall well being. I communicate regularly and provide all requested updates. I treat the client's home with care, professionalism and discretion at all times. I am an active person and enjoy walks/runs.

About: Hi, I'm Irene :)! I'm an all around animal lover, but especially dogs. I have a husky named Nova, so I have experience caring for and understanding dogs and cats of different personalities (huskies are part cat too, right?). I love spending time with them, playing, going for a walks, hikes, runs and making sure they're happy and safe. Although I enjoy activity daily, I also can handle the needs and care for lower energy/senior dogs. I'm responsible, punctual, and just enjoy being around animals. I'd be delighted to take care of your dogs or cats! I’m home most of the day since I study remotely. I might go out for a couple of hours to run errands, but aside from those times, I’m usually either at home or out in the mountains with my dog, Nova. So pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine, and I’m able to give her plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship :) I would preferably care for pets in their own home, as my apartment is fairly small. I love keeping dogs active and happy through walks, runs, and hikes when appropriate and with the owners’ approval. And of course, lots of love, attention, and playtime! I’m also happy to follow each pet’s routine and the owners’ instructions to make sure they feel comfortable and well cared for

“Keegan was great with our dog! We have a one year old golden retriever who can be high energy and gets very excited with new people. Keegan did great on walks with him - you can tell she loves animals. We’d happily have her walk/watch him again!”

Kate G.

“Skylar was great! She was wonderful with my two dogs on the meet and greet, and was extremely punctual for their actual walk. I’m so happy to find such a responsible person to be able to call in the future!”

Laura B.

About: I've had dogs in my life since I was 8 and all my dogs have shown great love towards me because I give them the full love back. I am known in the family as the family caretaker when our dogs get old and need special attention. The reason I take care of my dogs when they get older because I have the patience, attentions, and most of all, love in supporting them through their elderly stage. All pets deserve the best and I am more than happy to provide that! I am currently taking the year off from work to travel the world but in between my trips I have a lot of free time and feel it can be better spent taking care of pets while other people can enjoy trips or another activity that requires them to leave their pet at home. I have a 5-year old Havanese and I take him on walks daily, I make sure he is bathe at least once a month, and try to take him on as many trips so I can, so he can enjoy the world as much I as I do.

“Will be booking again! 💯 Kind, on time, professional and Basil loved them!”

Sunny Z.

“Jessica has been very communicative, responsible and attentive to our dog's needs. She also has the best treats!”
