“Georgia was superb. She not only took excellent care of our dog and cat, but also of our home. Both of our pets seemed very relaxed upon of our return, and showed no signs of stress at all. This means something, as our dog is getting older and is generally a pretty anxious dog. Georgia seems to have a special touch with animals, and we would love to use her as a sitter again in the future.”
“Andrew was great. His communication was perfect, and he gave us frequent updates and pictures of our pets. Everything was very well taken care of, and I will definitely use him again!”
About: Over 16 years training, walking and exercising high energy dogs. I have extensive experience with working dogs, special needs dogs and have certifications in dog obedience and other disciplines. I am licensed as a public school teacher and fully background checked. Contact me for the best care. Boarding and adventure daycare is my speciality. I have limited housesitting and drop in availability. Dog walking and exercising is my full-time job. I want to provide a concierge service that makes it easiest for you to take your time back and be well. Your wellness is key to your dog being well. My joy for this profession started when I couldn't find a trusted sitter and dog walker for my own animal. I decided to provide that service to others so they wouldn't have the same problem. I give love, attention and exercise to your family member as if they were my own. I am a licensed public school educator who is fully background checked with glowing references that can be provided and contacted.
“Anna was great!! We were gone on an extended trip, and she took great care of our three kitties. She was great with providing updates and gave our cats lots of love. Definitely would book with Anna again!”
“Sarah was amazing! She was a great match for our pets. She followed their schedules and gave them a balance of outdoor time and indoor chill time. When we returned home they were very happy, but content, rather than stressed. We will definitely rebook with Sarah and recommend her to anyone.”
About: There isn't a time in my life when I have not been around dogs. I was a dog walker throughout college and now I am a dog owner myself. I am an active walker in my neighborhood who has experience with multiple breeds and sized dogs. I currently have a 2-year-old Aussie, and we would love to add your pup to the mix for however long you need! I can do weekends and holidays if I am available. There are some great trails for us to walk on around my neighborhood. Alfie (my pup) also plays with every dog that comes over! My schedule changes often so I will try my best to keep my calendar up to date. My house is puppy-proofed since I have a puppy myself. If you have any requests or concerns please just let me know ahead of time!
“Beatrice was so sweet with our 2 little pups. They took to her right away, and when we returned, they seemed to be very comfortable with her! We will certainly reach out to her on our next visit to Burlington. Thanks!”
“We asked Meghan to house sit our 3 dogs and she was great!! We did a meet and greet before and she came to the house with treats in her hand! The dogs absolutely loved her. She sent lots of pictures and made sure that we knew the dogs were well taken care of and not to worry about them!!”
“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.”
“Sophie stayed with our Border Collie and 2 cats while we were gone and she was truly wonderful. She gave our pup good long walks and her calm presence even managed to coax our very skittish cat to come out of hiding. She sent lots of pictures and updates, which we really appreciated. We don't leave the animals often, so when we do, it's very comforting to know that they're in good hands. She also left the house in perfect shape. We highly recommend Sophie!”

“Shelby was a wonderful sitter for Juniper. She made herself available on very short notice and took great care of Juniper who is recovering from surgery. She sent detailed updates and was lovely to communicate with. We would be happy to book with her again!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover and caretaker my whole life. I have novice vet tech experience and I’m not afraid of the feisty ones, either! I’m working full time but my shift currently runs from 5pm to 1am Tues-Sat, so I am available for walks, play sessions, and pet/house sitting as needed around those hours. Working hours subject to change every few weeks. I like to have fun with my furry friends. I’m not afraid to get down and dirty, or even rough when the zoomies come out.
About: Hi, I’m John — a lifelong animal lover with over 40 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and even birds. I’m also the owner of Vermont Dog Camp, where I lead off-leash group adventures for pups across Addison County. I bring decades of hands-on experience and a deep respect for every animal’s unique personality. I am insured and certified in animal 1st aid/CPR. When I’m not walking dogs with Vermont Dog Camp, I’m usually spending time at home with my own pets or caring for others in the neighborhood. Whether it’s a morning walk, a midday check-in, or a cozy evening visit, I always make time to give each pet the attention and care they deserve. I currently only offer service in the client's home or off-site for walks. Dog walks can be in town, or on public or privately owned land away from crowds and traffic.
About: I grew up around animals of all kinds on a farm and had the privilege of owning and loving our dog, Betty Lou for 14 years. I work from home and am looking for ways to make extra money while staying active and fitting in with my kids' school schedule (9 am-3 PM). We have a fenced in yard and I will follow whatever guidelines are needed in the client's home. I understand each situation is different and each pet needs specific care.

Alyson K.Star Sitter
“Alyson is a local business owner and an excellent and reliable dog/pet sitter!”
Laurie P.
“There are three things that set Laurie apart from other dog sitters: 1. She is reliably caring and understanding with our pet. She gets our dog, and loves her quirks. 2. Laurie is totally dependable. She trekked through 12’’ of snow up a steep driveway to visit our pet on a cold, winter morning. 3. Laurie is proactive about resolving problems whether they are behavioral, medical or something else. If your pet won’t take her medicine, she can handle it. If your pet needs some extra TLC, she can handle it. Laurie also walks our dog, sits with her and gives her much-needed attention and checks in with texts, photos and videos. I highly recommend her.”

John G.
“John is amazing! He has an incredible connection with animals — it’s something you notice instantly. I’ve watched him care for dogs, cats and even birds with patience, confidence, and genuine affection. As the owner of Vermont Dog Camp, he’s out on the trails with dogs almost every day, keeping them happy, safe, and well-exercised. I trust him completely with my own pets, and I’ve seen how quickly other animals warm up to him. He’s dependable, knowledgeable and always goes the extra mile.”
Mara U.
“Mara is a kitty-cat enthusiast and pooch extraordinaire. She had a lovely rotty mix named ‘Betty Lou’ for fourteen years who had all the walks, romps, and love a dog could ever have. Her current clutch of cats are adoringly cared for. In short, Mara will take better care of your furball(s) than you do!”
