“Once again an awesome stay and welcome received for my child . He truly enjoyed his stay every time! The videos and pictures are phenomenal and beautiful! Thank you !”

“Couldn’t imagine better care! I boarded my pup with Michele for a few days, and she was super communicative, flexible and kind. I could tell my pup felt comfortable with her right away. Would recommend her in a heartbeat!”

“Dawn did a great job with Augie. She was very attentive to the needs of my senior dog, especially the challenges. She has a wonderful environment for dog sitting and I know Augie really enjoyed having a backyard and a companion dog for a few days.”

“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!”

“Simply amazing! Rushi sent cute photos and updates to put my mind at ease - Alan had a blast with her family and sweet little toddler. They took him on walks, gave lots of love and kept me updated throughout :)”

“Wonderful as always!!”

“This is the first time leaving George with Melanie. We spoke on the phone before I left him and I was pleased with the questions she asked to get to know my dog and how to best care for him. He was well cared for while I was away and I would not hesitate to have her care for George again.”

“Our sweet Vera was recovering from ACL repair, and we are deeply grateful to Deb for taking care of her so beautifully while we attended a 3 day series of wedding events. She made sure Vera had walks of the length and nature she is permitted and cuddled her at night when she needed reassurance about our absence. Her home is incredibly suited to doggie fun and safety with a fenced play yard and even a poo;l on her deck for hot days. Vera loved sitting in the pool while cooling off during our recent heat spell. Deb's extensive knowledge of dog behavior provided new insights to us; she helped us understand some of Vera's responses when we arrived and affirmed the findings of our pet shrink (yes we had one when she was a puppy). Frequent photos and updates from Deb not only exceeded expectations but they also reassured us during a difficult time for leaving Vera. No sitter or boarding facility has made us so happy and comfortable in our three decades of dog ownership. We are deeply grateful to have Deb on our team!”

“Amanda was fantastic. We got amazing updates throughout the week with pictures. She was very honest about how things were going but was understanding that it was a new situations for our young pup. We can’t say enough good things about Amanda and are so happy we found her!”

“Victoria is always responsive and gives great updates on how the visit is going. Our dog loves staying there and feels like he is at home. Highly recommend!”

“Reagan has watched my dogs for years. I am always afraid to leave my dog with someone on vacation, but she has become the only person to completely exceed my expectations. Every few hours she took them to the dog park, to the beach, and to play fetch. I received many pictures during her stay and Reagan’s communication was fantastic.”

“Peter was very gracious in accepting a last minute request to care for our dog and though the stay was short, our dog seemed very happy and content. Would definitely recommend Peter.”

“Lillian was very thoughtful and caring with our older dog. She and her pup, Leo, entertained and cuddled with Dubai, sent lots of pictures, and got her to eat all of her meals (an uncommon feat)!”

“As Dog Vacay hosts ourselves, we know what great dog care looks like. Laura and Frank were fantastic hosts for our three dogs. They were understanding about the stress of being away from home for the first time, made the dogs part of their family and sent us pictures of the fun our three girls were having at their house. We will certainly be back!”

“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!”

“Hannah was great! She was super communicative and we know our boy was very well taken care of! Hannah was flexible with our changing schedule as well! Thanks so much!”

About: Hello! Glad you are here! Taylor and Brayden are a duo pet sitting couple. We live in Burlington and love pet sitting. Both of us grew up always having dogs in the house. Since moving away from home and moving in together, we have not yet adopted any furry friends, however our love for animals persists. Pet sitting is a great way for us to get to love on animals and help others out! While we have never owned a cat before, in the past few years we have had friends and roommates with cats and our love for cats has grown.We are a team when it comes to pet sitting. Brayden is in school to become a veterinarian and works at a vet office as a veterinary assistant. He is wonderful with animals. Any pet who visits our home has two wonderful and loving people to care for them. Taylor is a graduate student and Brayden is an undergraduate student at UVM. We tag team our pet sitting which makes this an even better gig! Between both of us there is almost always someone home and with both of our schedules being flexible we make a great pet-sitting team! We want to make your pet as comfortable and safe as possible. While we do not have a large yard, we walk dogs frequently to give them exercise and with owner permission love taking dogs to the dog park. We ask that you bring us a few toys if your pet likes to play as well as food and treats as we do not own any pets and do not have pet food on hand. If your pet is used to sleeping in your bed with you, no problem! Your friend will be welcome in our bed and on our couch! For cats, we ask that you bring a litter box and litter as well!

“Jessica took such great care of my puppy. She sent me updates and pictures throughout his stay. I felt like Alfie was in a safe and loving space while I was away”

“Alan loves animals and has a natural understanding and respect for them. Pets of all kinds feel comfortable with him and trust him. Alan is reliable and conscientious and has taken care of dogs, cats, chickens etc for years. He’s learned to work with goats and has volunteered for animal conservation efforts with toads & turtles.”

“Janessa is a great sitter! We could tell from the initial meet that our dog was in good hands. She is a caring, wonderful person and was attentive to our anxious dog's quirks and needs. She made us feel at ease while we were on vacation by providing us with regular updates. Our dog loves to walk and she got plenty of exercise with Janessa which we know helped her be calm and happy while we were away. I highly recommend Janessa. We are looking forward to booking with her again for our next trip!”
