Pet care experience

Aside from having a family lab growing up, I have taken care of my own little guy (jack russell/ beagle mix) for over 10 years, as well as my English Mastiff for 2, and I can't get enough of them!

Chris was great. He stayed at our house and cared for our 4 animals, which is not simple nor easy, and communicated with us well. He even went the extra mile to run the dishwasher and help with our sap collection! We’ll definitely call on him again.

Chris was diligent, thoughtful and caring for my two dogs. He even sent videos of the dogs playing with Chris and their toys. He did all of the extra things I asked him to do. When I reached out to him by text he responded almost immediately. And he investigated and fixed the internet problem! I give him 5 stars because he deserves it!

What a gem Chris is! Super kind and responsive and did a terrific job caring for our Yorkie for the day. His place is clean and our little guy felt comfortable right away. We will be sure to book him again the next time we’re in Burlington. Thanks Chris!
