“Ella was a kind and compassionate caregiver, and made us feel confident that our cat Walter was in good hands while we were away on vacation. She provided plenty of quality and detailed updates, along with some great and hilarious pictures of Walter. She also went above and beyond, cleaning up after a few messes Walter had made in the apartment and stopping in during a day that she wasn't even scheduled to, just to spend some additional time with Walter. We really appreciated that! I would not hesitate to hire Ella again in the future.”
“Ashley was absolutely amazing! I have 3 kitties who are very high maintenance (age, behavior, etc.) and she handled them totally amazingly. They were in great hands and I felt very reassured, if you’re looking for a pet sitter, this is your person!”
“We were so relieved to have Cara care for our two cats when our usual pet sitter unexpectedly cancelled soon before our holiday trip. Cara did a fantastic job; we knew our cats were in good hands!!”
“This is my second time using Nicole, and I can’t say enough good things about her taking care of my dog. She is so reliable, and I can tell my dog had the best time. I highly recommend her for pet care!”
About: In addition to petsitting for 10+ years, I have been a proud dog parent for more than 5 years. Due to unforeseen circumstances within a breakup, I no longer have dogs, and miss them desperately. I would love to care for your dogs as if they are my own! I work remotely and have a flexible schedule. I'm very active, and I'd happily take your pups on walks and hikes with me if they're into that kind of thing. I will care for your dogs as if they were my own. I love to play, cuddle, and meet their needs - whatever those might be. I have experience with puppies, administering medication, and caring for all types of dogs, especially those with quirky personalities.
“Yelena was super communicative and always kept me in the loop on her timing, which I really really appreciated. She took fantastic care of my cat! Would definitely recommend”
“Mildred did drop-in visits for our cantankerous cat, Little Blue. Blue loved Mildred! If Mildred can satisfy Blue, she can satisfy any other cat. We’ll definitely ask Mildred to help us with cat care in the future.”
“Kate was amazing! She came the day prior to my booking to meet Mullie to ensure her drop in visit was a success and it definitely was! I am thrilled with Kate’s service and will be recommending her to friends!”
“Bailey was kind enough to come on Christmas as a pretty last minute request! Did a drop-in and everything went smoothly! Looking forward to having Bailey help out again.”
“Whitney was a fantastic cat sitter for our 2 cats while we were away. She was a great communicator and it was fun to see pictures of our cats while we were gone. We defintely hope that Whitney is available again the next time we go out of town. I highly recommend her.”
About: I have pet sit dogs and cats many times for my family. Pets have always been a part of my family, mostly dogs and also sometimes cats. Also at one point an aquarium of fish. Currently I do not have any pets of my own because they are not allowed in the rental lease. I also know of some of the natural area trails and parks in the nearby area that would be good to take dogs for a walk at. My current schedule for pet care can be fit to a wide range of times most days. Other current work activities are mainly involving the start of a small farm type business and volunteer work. I make sure that safety is always a priority and taken into account, one of the main areas of focus being to keep any doors monitored and closed so that a pet does not go outside by accident. Also keeping awareness of any food or other objects in a client's home that a pet could get to by accident.
“Kristy was great! My cats are shy to strangers but they warmed up to her before the end of the week. My kitties were well cared for. I received a note and multiple pictures of my babies daily. She was very prompt and reliable and followed the instructions I left. She also brought in my mail and watered my plants. I will definitely reach out to her again when I need a petsitter again.”
About: Hi there! I'm a New England native and have been proud to call Burlington, VT home for the past 2.5 years. I absolutely love this community and all the outdoor activities it offers—I'm an active person and enjoy getting outside in any season, especially with a furry companion by my side. I've been around animals my whole life and have experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes—from tiny breeds to gentle giants. Growing up with dogs instilled in me a deep love and respect for animals, and that passion only grew during the seven years I spent working with and riding horses. I’ve also volunteered at the Humane Society of Chittenden County in South Burlington, which has given me even more hands-on experience and training with a wide variety of pets and personalities. There I learned about the importance of petting consent, dog walking safety, and canine behaviour and body language. Currently, I have a few regular dog-walking and sitting clients through FPF, and I often help out with family and friends’ pets when needed. I'm available for drop-ins and dog walks in Burlington and surrounding towns upon request. Whether you're looking for a quick visit, a neighborhood stroll, or a reliable sitter while you're away, I’d love to help care for your pet like they’re part of my own family. My schedule: I am usually available Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays from 9:00am-2:30pm and can be available in the evenings upon request. I am also flexible on weekends. My schedule: *Mondays 9:30am - 2:30pm, 5:30pm - 10pm *Wednesdays 9:30am - 1:00pm, 5:30pm - 10pm *Fridays - 9:30am - 2:30pm, 5:30pm - 10pm *Saturdays + Sundays - I have very flexible timing most weekends. Please message me your requests and I will do my best to make the timing work! I am very comfortable caring for your pet in your home and I have experience with dogs who need additional attention/medication/dietary needs. I am calm and patient and will ensure your pet feels safe and happy!
“Bre was incredible! Super quick response, very communicative, and able to give our cat medication that we found out he needed right before we left for vacation. I appreciated Bre’s flexibility and friendliness. This was our first time using Rover and I look forward to booking with Bre again!”
About: Hi there, my name is MJ and I'm interested in help you with your doggos, or just your one and only pupper. I have been around dogs all my life. From chihuahuas, to pitties, a Rhodesian Ridgeback (yeah, they have a lot to say. Lol...), to your average American mutt, I seriously love all dogs. For the ones that just want the basics to those who are super charged, I can match their energy. I'm available for drop-in feedings, walks, and play-time. Have a doggo that needs a little extra attention, no problem I don't mind hanging out for a few hours, so you can run errands doggo free, appointment that might be long, or just need to escape for a bit. I am flexible between the hours of 8:30am-5pm, if you are in Shelburne village I can be a bit more flexible until 8pm. Overnight stay can be arranged with at least 2+ weeks notice. We have 2 fabulous felines, Zen & Leia, that are our fur babes!! We start every morning with feeding & water changes. Toy & fun, scritches & snuggles, sometimes even a cat nap. We make our own cat food as well. I have cared for personal family pets, friends pets (dogs, cats, fish, smallies.). I am very professional and enjoy being around animals very much. We have 2 cats, Zen Vader and Princess Leia. We also have a ball python, Ms. Bea Arthur. Caring for animals brings me so much joy, and I love the thank yous of butt wiggles and a purring machine.

“Liddy is a dog lover to her core. Having known Liddy for over 10 years, I can attest to her competency and diligence when it comes to training and caring for dogs.

Nico is the best pet sitter you could ever hope for!!! We are so attached to our two cats and leaving them always makes me feel worried. Nico watched them for over a week, and went above and beyond with our kittens, sending us pictures at every visit of them playing and snuggling. We couldn’t be more thankful for the time and care they received :)
