Holly fed our two cats twice a day for a few days and was amazing! She spent extra time ensuring they were well loved and sent update pictures each visit. She was easy to communicate with and we highly recommend her!

Jamie has been a great support in the past, and similarly did well with her care of my little dog this time around! The only issue that came about was communication, but such was improved upon during our booking dates. Overall, she is a great sitter who displays good care and expertise with watching over my little old dog, and I would definitely recommend her :)

South Burlington, VT, 05403

About: Hi! I'm Nicolas. I am home full-time, which allows me to spend plenty of time with the dogs and cats I care for. We live in a large two-story house in South Burlington with a big yard where dogs can run and play safely. Please note that since I have a 20-month-old son, any dog staying with us must be completely comfortable and safe around young children. As a stay-at-home dad, I am at the house full-time, making it incredibly easy to fit dedicated pet care into my daily routine. I offer specialized services tailored to your pets' needs, including both cat and dog boarding at my home, where your furry friends will enjoy constant company and plenty of attention throughout the day. I also offer dog walking and 30 to 60-minute home visits at your location. Whether it's strictly following feeding and medication schedules, managing frequent potty breaks, or taking your dog out for a great walk to break up their day, you can rest assured your companions will receive premium care while staying completely on their regular routine. In my home: Your pets will have plenty of room to comfortable and safe in our large two-story house. Since I am home full-time, I provide constant supervision and companionship throughout the day. I ensure a safe, organized environment for both visiting dogs and cats, strictly following their regular feeding, potty, litter, and medication schedules so they feel right at home. At your home: I follow your exact instructions to respect your pet's routine, whether I am dropping by for a 30 to 60-minute visit or taking your dog out for a walk. I make sure your home stays secure, doors are locked, and your pet gets their regular feeding, fresh water, and potty breaks exactly as they do when you are there.

Alma has been wonderful! She has done drop in visits for my two cats and they love her. Both of my cats require inhalers and she was great at following instructions and administering their medication. Alma shows up on time and always provides photos of her visit. My cats are happiest at home and I'm so glad she helps make that possible!

About: I’ve grown up around dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I absolutely love caring for animals. I have two dogs at home who I miss very much, so I have plenty of extra love, attention, and energy to give to your pets. I also have a very sassy orange cat with a big personality, so I’m used to both playful dogs and independent cats. I’ll treat your pet with the same care, patience, and affection that I give my own. As a student-athlete, I’m active, dependable, and happy to help with walks, playtime, and keeping pets on their usual routine. I'm currently working part time from home, so I have plenty of time to check in on your pets! I'm available flexibly on weekdays and weekends. I’m currently unable to care for pets in my own home, but I’m very comfortable caring for them in their own space, where they can stay relaxed and on their usual routine. I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, litter boxes, cleaning up accidents, and any other basic care needs. I know how important it is to trust someone in your home, so I’ll be respectful of your space and follow your instructions closely. I’ll also make sure doors, gates, leashes, and food/medication routines are handled carefully so your pet stays safe and comfortable while you’re away.

About: I grew up on a farm around all kinds of animals, so caring for them has always been second nature to me. I’ve loved and cared for many dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I genuinely enjoy making animals feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have a flexible schedule as I am in between jobs right now and have plenty of availability for pet care, walks, check-ins, and overnight stays. I try to keep pets as comfortable and relaxed as possible by sticking closely to their normal routines. Whether I’m caring for pets in their home or mine, I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, play, affection, and a calm environment. I also understand how important communication is, so I like to keep owners updated with photos and check-ins while they’re away.

About: I have actively been taking care of dogs since I was a teenager, and in doing so I have worked with a variety of breeds, sizes, and dog of different ages. My manner of minding focuses on building a connection with the dog while uniquely understanding the breed and the specific needs they may need met. I'm very active and thus great with dogs who are looking to get in shape or have high energy levels. I have experience working with dogs who have been abused or neglected and re-socialising them. My home is large enough for multiple dogs of many sizes to be comfortable in as well as a short walk away from multiple parks. Both mornings as well nights are currently available Monday-Sunday.

About: I've had dogs since I was very little. Very comfortable with anything from small and anxious to big and jumpy. Currently have 2 cats at home, a very young senior and a old kitten. I am a full time graduate student with some intermittent periods of free time and am always looking to take a study break and go hang out with some pets. Im currently a Doctorate of Physical Therapy student at UVM. So whenever I'm not in class I'm free to spend it with your furry friend. Since I have cats, I always make sure my home is pet safe and there isn't anything around that could hurt them or get them sick.

About: Please contact for pricing based on location. Rates will increase based on mileage outside of Richmond. Dog lover, Cat Mom. Big, small, stubborn, loud, quiet, shy, young, old, hyper, chill - all animals deserve to be loved. Grew up in suburbs near trails with dogs on and off leash. Flexible schedule. I have a large car to bring 1 or multiple dogs out for adventures. With permission, I may spoil them. Worked as a vet tech assistant for 3 years. Rasied many dogs from puppies and am familiar with positive reinforcement training, crate training, and clicker training. Experienced with dogs that are people and/or dog shy and know how to handle the situation. I do not believe in such a thing as naturally aggressive dogs. Everyone has their own personality and experiences, so do animals. I'm currently working full time 8:30 am - 5:30 pm Monday-Friday in Burlington near Redrocks. I can do walks or check-in's before and after work for locations near my home or office. I'm available on the weekends for longer periods. I am happy to come to your home or office. I am available to care for your dog or cat in your home and can stay for extended periods within a 1-hour driving distance of Burlington. I love being active so am happy to take them hiking, running, or out for a gentle walk. I am unable to care for pets at my home.
