About: I’ve had cats all my life and a dog.

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!”
“Holly took fantastic care of her Bandit this week during her drop-in visits with him. He's very picky about who he likes and he took to Holly right away. They are good friends now. Thanks Holly!”
About: My name is Casey, I'm a student majoring in creative writing, and I'm looking to expand my house sitting portfolio. I have been a dog walker and house sitter for three clients/families in 2025 so far and love popping by for walks every two hours with your pup. Size, barking, and puppy-ness are non-issues! I have extreme patience and good shoulders. My grandma always told me to leave the house you're visiting neater than when you got there, so I have an eye for cleanliness and I don't want you to feel like someone has been living in your home when you come back. I.E. I will ask you if I can vacuum. I'm starting school in the fall at Vermont State University in Johnson, so I am free to book any time this summer, unless I have another doggie booked that day. I'm a list maker so I like to write down your instructions when we have a formal introduction. Food, walks, potty time, play time, training, and housekeeping will all be done to your standard.
About: I’m a full-time professional who cares for humans, but when I’m not at work, I’d feel privileged to help care for your pet! I’ve had animals of all kinds in my life since childhood and currently share my home with a senior rescue dog. I am comfortable with pets who have special health considerations/require special food or medicine. I’m attentive to details and welcome any special instructions you might offer to make your pet comfortable and take care the best care of them. I have a fairly flexible schedule on the several days/wk and most weekends that I’m not away working that will allow for plenty of time to walk, feed or check-in on your pet. I am respectful of your space and any special requests you might have for your pet. I will make sure to communicate well with updates and any concerns/questions that might arise.
About: I’ve always took kindly to dogs, and recently gained experience with the hardest dog to sit: if your dog has liver failure, traumatic upbringings, and weird ticks, I can cover them! If your dog’s well-behaving, all the better! I look forward to taking care of your dog in any capacity. Working part-time and very mobile, so my schedule is very flexible to your needs! I’m traveling via dog-sitting, so my location’s not set to stone, so if I’m nearby, I can surely make my way to your dog to home sit! I will follow all client’s specific instructions to a T. Every dog has his or her special needs, and however big or little the requests are, I will follow them all. I will also maintain communication with the clients for updates and questions along the way.
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, small animals and horses, for over 30 years. I have volunteered at animal shelters, worked with rescue groups, and done agility and obedience training with my dogs. I have two dogs at home - a pit bull and a cattle dog/pit bull cross. Previous dog breeds include Labs, Pit Bulls, Rhodesian Ridgebacks, a Norwich Terrier and a Rottweiler. I've also had hamsters, cats, rabbits, and many horses. I love all animals and would be happy to help you out with yours. I work full-time from home and am available on weekdays and weekends. I do my best to keep my schedule current, but feel free to check with me if there are questions. My services are provided at your home or office. I am happy to walk your dogs in your neighborhood or yard. They will always be kept on leash and will not interact with other dogs unless approved by you.
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. I am currently working part-time at a grocery store, but I'm trying to phase out of this job and work from home. With that being said, I will have availability from 8:30am-5pm, and if you are in the Shelburne village, I can be a bit more flexible until 8pm. Overnight stay can be arranged with a 2+ week prior notice. 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 2 ball pythons, Ms. Bea and Big Mo(chi). Caring for animals brings me so much joy, and I love the thank yous of butt wiggles and a purring machine.
