“Christina and Jason were great with my girls. I received pictures of them daily along with descriptions of their daily activities. They kept my girls busy and happy. I would highly recommend them.”
“Zuko loved his little vacation!! Samantha was wonderful and a perfect host! Her and her family have a beautiful property with a ton of outdoor space. My dog played his heart out and had the time of his life. I don't think he wanted to leave! I would recommend her for any and all boarding you needs! I will certainly be using her again in the future!”
“Gwynn is amazing. She paid attention to exactly the attention (exercise, etc.) that Martie needed and even sent us pictures of their adventures. Martie was exhausted when we got home!”
“It’s always tough to leave our dog at a new place with a new person, but Alyssa made it easy and comforting :). Appreciated the check-ins and pictures too! Thank you for looking after Juno and she looks forward to seeing you again!”
“Christina was fantastic! Zoe loved spending time with her, and we appreciated the photo updates while we were gone. We don't need boarding very often, but next time we do, we will absolutely use Christina again. Thank you so much!”
“Christina watched our 1 & 1/2 year old Eskipoo for a weekend and I could not recommend her more!! We were traveling to the Burlington area from about 3 hours away, and after our dog sitter fell through last minute, we needed someone to take care of him while we were busy all weekend. She was very accommodating and welcoming to him right away which made us feel at ease with the whole situation. She is fantastic with the pups, she’s not only makes sure they have plenty of outside play time(very good size fenced in yard!), but she is very careful to follow instructions and specific requests. She’s genuinely loves all dogs and that is obvious from the very start. While he was there we received multiple pictures every morning and evening as well as had any questions answered almost immediately. If we lived closer, our pup would be a regular member of the pack for sure! When we travel to Burlington in the future, we will not hesitate to contact Christina!”
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.
About: My 3 year old golden retriever LOVES other dogs as do I. We love to to have other dogs share our home for playtime and cuddles while their pet parents are away. I travel often and know how much more enjoyable my time away is when I know my golden girl is being cared for the way I would care for her. I strive to provide the same for my furry guests! I work outside of the home during Monday through Thursday for 8 hours a day but I am home all day on the the weekends. We are happy being homebodies and playing in the fenced in backyard or going out for a hike. We even have 40 acres close by with a cabin, river and hiking trails that is super fun for the dogs!
“Cindy was the best rover Apollo has visited. She was super easy to contact, helpful with updates and even helped me w some training tips. Apollo didn’t want to go home after - will definitely contact again”
“Deborah is the very best! She is easy to communicate with and takes great care of our dogs. Her property is really well set up for dogs and I have no concern when they are staying with her. Will happily book her again!”
“I know my dog was well taken care of when she takes the time to give a quick kiss to each of her caregivers! And…during the excitement of Mamas home! Thank you so much for the kind and loving care and the great communication and photos! Those go along way to help sooth mamas anxiety of having to leave her baby with a new person! Thank you, thank you thank you!”
“This was our dog Maple's second stay with Tiffany, and it was just as great as the first! Our dog was super happy to see Tiffany and had a great time playing ball, going on walks, and snuggling with the family. As usual, Tiffany sent tons of updates and photos so I knew Maple was doing well. Tiffany and her family are wonderful people and we are so glad to have found them for Maple's second home while we are away!”
About: There was not a single day in my life that I was not surrounded by dogs. No matter which house we lived in, I was always greeted after school by one, two or three dogs. Before moving for university, my mother and I began fostering puppies for two weeks at time. We would wake up at 4am when we heard them squealing, stay up late making sure they could have the latest potty break possible for hopes of maybe sleeping in the next day, and even build a pen in our backyard to allow for endless playtime together. Due to these numerous pups we cared for, my dogsitting popularity skyrocketed in our neighborhood. I was being called upon every other week to care for my neighbors cats, dogs, and once even a chinchilla. Now, I hope to provide the same service and be there for your cutest friends when life simply gets in the way. I don't mind the -20 degree weather if it means going for a nice brisk walk with your dogs.
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.

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!”
