Experienced & Active Dog Sitter
Pet care experience
Hi! I'm Burgenne, I am a 22 year old self employed, active dog mom! I am located in Cary, but am happy to service any surrounding including Raleigh and Holly Springs. I recently moved here with my fiance, we have two dogs! I unfortunately had to leave 3 behind (my parents dogs so they couldnt come with.) I grew up with german shepherds, labs, & huskies (german shepherds were search and rescue dogs so I am used to high trained dogs and routines too). I am great with little dogs too! I miss having more dogs around and will happily walk your dog or take care of them overnight either in your home or mine. I work from home most days so am able to give your dog lots of walks and attention. My apartment complex has many people with dogs, and a good amount of yard and places to walk. We also live near a dog park and lake and take my dog their (almost) daily. We do foster dogs!! Sometimes we will foster or emergency foster dogs, if this is the case during your dates you will be notified before your booking is confirmed by me! STAYS AT MY HOME I live in Cary! On weekends, we take our dog on adventures and hikes and will take you dog on them as well, unless you are uncomfortable. I value your pet safety and comfort, as well as yours. I will text pictures, up dates, and be vocal of any issues that could occur. We live very close to a vet as well! In summary of stays at my home you can expect: - Lots of activity and adventures for your dogs - Frequent walks - Little to no time in a kennel - Dog park visits - Frequent updates and texts - A second person in the home in afternoons/nights/weekends - Medication admission if needed! - Dog video monitor, with two way sound/ communication in case I leave dogs home alone (only with your expressed permission) - ALL dogs will be crated when I am gone Please see safety section to better understand my expectations when it comes to keeping both my dog and your dog safe.
Reviews
Burgenne was awesome. She provided an high level of service while being kind and loving to our babies. She went out of her way to make sure they were comfortable and cared for. Responsive and a great communicator. Would highly recommend her and will be using her again.
Burgenne was great! She sent lots of updates and pictures! I would highly recommend her and will have her sit my pups in the future!
Burgenne did a wonderful job taking care of our dog. We were thrilled to see how happy he was after his experience with her. She was professional, she communicated promptly and well, and it was clear she was caring to our dog. We felt very comfortable working with her and look forward to doing so again.
Seeing Burgenne interact with her own dogs shows just how much she values having a pet. She values always giving pets the best quality of life care they can possibly get. She takes them on walks all the time and treats them more like kids than pets. Two of her dogs are trained search and rescue dogs, and she is great with training them and keeping them always active. Burgenne is also super organized and on time, and I think she’d make a great dog sitter for any type of dog!

Safety, trust & environment
I take pet care very seriously! Including allergies, diets, routines, etc. Your dogs safety is important to me- I will never take them off leash if they arent allowed! My Requirements for staying in my home: Our dog is vaccinated, de wormed, and spayed. We ask that your dog is too (kennel cough vaccine is not required but prefferred.) Our dog is friendly but to ensure the best introduction to our dog, I require a meet up at the dog park first. German shepherd can be territorial over their homes, but if she knows the dog first (even just for a few moments) the welcome process is less stressful on both or all dogs. Please note that if your dog plays incredibly rough or dominant, our dog is not the biggest fan. Please be honest about your dogs behavior, we can always schedule meet ups before your dog comes and stays with us! We live within 15 minutes of an animal hospital!

Information Burgenne I. would like to know about your pet
Your dogs health and safety are a top priority. Please let me know if they have any allergies, food sensitivities, if they like to get into something they shouldnt, if they act out when youre away, if they take medications, etc... Please let me know if your dogs can open doors or cabinets. I keep counters clear, garlic, onions, and toxic cleaning items are kept in closed cabinets but some dogs can open doors so I like to know!
A typical day
I love to take dogs on walks and play fetch! My dogs in Alaska were incredibly high drive and were working dogs! So I know lots of games and tricks to help keep your dogs happy and busy for longer! Here, my dogs Koda and Ela and I usually go on a short walk every 2-4 hours. We go to the park in the evenings, almost daily. We play in doors a lot but she normally just hangs out on our couch or in my office from 9-4 while I work from home! I am happy to adjust these times based on your dogs activity levels and drive!

Availability
I work full time as a photographer but just want something extra to get me out of the house (and to be around dogs again!) Im available most days, especially for pet sitting in my home. Long stays are also welcome! I live with my fiance so if you ever book me for a day I have a shoot or a wedding, he can also provide great care for your dog. (This will only be if you approve!) He has more energy than me and LOVES dogs! He will also go with me if we ever take dogs on hikes!
