Experienced & Intuitive Empath

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of dogs & cats of all sizes, ages and kinds since I was 9! From family pets to friends’ and farms’ fur babies, I’m confident, resourceful and gentle with every being I care for.

Dima is an incredibly thoughtful, kind hearted person. She took my two very curious kitties into her home and showered them with so much love and attention, even though I know they gave her a few challenges. She was extremely diligent and adapting to what worked well for them and when I came to pick them up it was clear they had felt completely at home with her and in this new place. She kept me updated the entire time I was gone. She is extremely professional and responsible. I would highly recommend Dima and look forward to working with her again!

Dima is an incredible dog sitter and human. She has stayed at our house to watch our two large pups on multiple occasions. She is an amazing communicator, she texts updates and pictures throughout. Our dogs are obsessed with her and she takes amazing care of them. She also is so considerate in our house and leaves it in amazing shape. Thank you, Dima :)

Wonderful on every way! Dima was kind, considerate, flexible, reliable and knowledgeable. Very grateful to have found her! She spent six days with our puppy and she went above and beyond to proved excellent care for him.

Information Dima Mary D. would like to know about your pet

Coming from a trauma awareness background, I’d like to know if your pet has any special behaviors or anxieties that would help me keep them safe! Are they an escape artist? Do they have separation anxiety? Are they weary of a specific gender? Are they very verbal? Do they get along with other pets? Do they have any allergies? Are they currently on a diet or taking any medications? Are they training for certain behaviors or goals?

A typical day

I live close to the Winooski River and love to walk dogs I’m sitting at Centennial Woods and the Salmon Hole. I frequently take walks around my neighborhood, downtown Burlington and parks along Lake Champlain and would be happy to bring your pup along to play, lounge or even hike further away if that suits their energy levels! I love identifying plants so would be aware of whatever your pup is sniffing and am not afraid of rolling in the grass and cuddling with them.

I work partially remotely from home so there’s usually room for flexibility in my schedule. As an early riser, I love taking walks throughout the day and taking breaks to read in the sun while cuddling friends’ fur babies! I’m able to check in and adapt to whatever energy level your pup/ kitty is at for the time of day.
