Personalized care for your dog or cat - Underwood

“This was my first time ever boarding my dog. Deb offered for us to come and just visit first which put my mind at ease and it also was so good for my Chloe. I was gone for 2 days and during this time I was given updates and was sent pictures of my puppy which was so helpful. When I came to pick her up she seemed so at home and almost like she didn’t want to leave. I was so extremely impressed with her professionalism and her caring demeanor. She understood my concerns and she actually gave me some tips on how to handle my border collie, my energizer bunny!!!! I would recommend her highly and I will be using her service again. Thank you Deb.”

“Our 6 year old dog Coda stayed with Dima for five nights. Our dog is anxious in new environments and Dima did an amazing job making her as comfortable as possible! Dima communicated with us the whole time, letting us know how our pup was doing and I was grateful for her calm patience. She provided a lot of focused attention to our dog and you can tell she cared about her well being. I highly recommend her!”

“Erica was wonderfully patient and kind with our elderly Chihuahua, Suzie, while we explored local attractions while traveling through the area. Suzie is typically anxious in new situations but she looked relaxed in the pictures Erica sent to us throughout her stay and was calm and happy when we picked her up. We are extremely thankful for Erica’s focused attention and compassion with our senior girl.”

About: I am reliable, with a flexible schedule, and genuine love for animals. Being in nursing school has taught me responsibility, patience, and attention to detail, which I bring to caring for pets. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior pets, and everything in between, and I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. I’m currently in nursing school, which gives me a very flexible schedule to care for pets. My classes are mostly in the mornings, and I only have clinical once a week, so I have plenty of time during the day and evenings to provide walks, drop-in visits, or pet sitting. My fiancé works from home so one of us is always at home! I care for pets by following their normal routine, making sure they’re fed, walked, and given plenty of attention and playtime. I keep their environment safe, clean, and comfortable, and always treat them like part of the family.

“Karen was absolutely wonderful with my two cats. She stayed in my house with them for over a week during Christmas and New Years, was a great communicator, kept me updated with photos, and I felt very reassured leaving my pets with someone so responsible. Upon my return everything was tidy, the cats were well fed with extra food and water laid out, and litter boxes cleaned. It was a great experience and so wonderful having her take care of them while I was away so I could relax and enjoy my vacation worry free.”

About: Relationship with animals has always been a passion of mine. I started grooming dogs with my grandmother at the age of 10, but was her assistant long before I earned the title. It brings me joy and fulfillment to care for pups and cats alike, while creating an environment where they (and you) can feel safe and earn my trust in the process. As a part time bartender at Pascolo Restaurant in Downtown Burlington, it would fit into my schedule to walk dogs in the morning, afternoon and early evening as well as weekends. There is a lot of freedom to work around your schedule :) In my home, I live off of Main Street in Vergennes and can provide safe walking around town as well as some of the trails near by. In your home, I am quick to adapt to whatever will make you most comfortable!

“Pascale was wonderful with our two shy kitties!”

Michelle T.

“Karen was very accommodating for an early am drop off while I visit from out of town to hike. Spud seed to have fun with his new friends”

Michael W.

“Karly helped us out with a last minute request. Max had a good afternoon with her. Thanks, Karly!”

Yolanda B.

Patrick K.

“Doodle had a great time at Christina’s house. He loved playing with her dogs in the back yard. Christina sent me pictures and kept me updated. I’ll definitely bring him back again.”

“Alex and Rachael were a pleasure to work with. We are from NJ and had to go to Lake Placid for a wedding. We were stressed about who would take care of our 5 month old cattle dog mix (high energy) while we were at wedding festivities. They worked out a schedule with us and were easy to work with, reliable, and the dog was happy to go with them. We got pictures and updates regularly and I’m so glad we found them! I highly recommend them to anyone needing dog care while in the Lake Placid area. Too bad they live so far from our regular home! It’s hard to find such great dog care!”

Elissa Z.

“Erica was amazing. Our dog felt right at home. She is so kind ,and you can tell she is a lover of animals. I would absolutely book again.”

About: I've had dogs since I was born, have worked in shelters and keep raising my own puppy dog. I give dogs multiple walks and play with them. If necessary I take them hiking, play fetch outdoor and give them lots of love an attention. I will make your dog feel like family and help with any training that you're working on. I would love to have many digs but at the moment we can only afford one as we travel through occasionally. I work from home Monday through Friday so I am there 24/7 to support and hang out with your pet. We usually do at least a morning walk, lunch quick outing and afternoon longer walk. Our home has an unfenced yard. I will walk your pet on a leash through our trails. I will follow your pet’s schedule and they will be allowed in the open house including couch and bed if that is part of their lifestyle.

About: My name is Melissa and I have taken care of animals since my first dog in second grade. I previously had a Labrador and Shih-Tzu who both lived until old age. I also fostered older dogs who could not find homes due to their age. I currently have a one year old yellow lab mix. He’s dog and cat friendly. In order to board your dog, your dog must be dog friendly. I also require a meet and greet to ensure it’s a good fit. Buddy is not neutered so unspayed females are not a good fit. I offer boarding in my home. I live in a second story apartment in an old building with a large yard. There is a picture of my apartment located within my pictures. I only board one animal at a time as it's a one bedroom apartment. It allows me to spend quality time with your pet! For boarding I do provide dishes and toys, but many animals prefer to have some of their own. I have open availability on weekends, however I work from home on weekdays and there may be times I need to be out of my home for up to three hours. I have a camera in my home and will be able to remotely check on your pet if I need to be away for work. I will always inform you prior to the booking if I have appointments out of the home. I am experienced feeding animals in a variety of ways and will follow your instructions on feeding and walking. I ensure animals are well cared for, played with, and that they receive the attention and care needed.

About: I have had pets my whole life. I currently have a small farm. I have chickens, ducks, turkies, pigs, dogs and cats. Alone with rabbits and guinea pigs. we are a very pet friendly area. Live in a wooded area on a dead end street. I currently work from home and have time for pet care. My youngest daughter is also in the home. Also have my granddaughter here on the weekends. she is 11. I will provide care in my home since I work from home this is the best for me at this time. I also have my 11 yr old granddaughter here on weekends.

About: I’ve cared for my dog & watched my friends dogs for over four years. Additionally I have experience with cats as I frequently watch my mothers two cats. I am available to watch dogs & cats in the Greater Burlington area on Friday nights, during the weekend, & Monday mornings occasionally if/when needed. I provide a safe, loving, and playful environment tailored to your pet’s needs when pet sitting. In your home, I follow your routines to keep them comfortable, happy, & stress free. My goal is to treat them like family every step of the way.

About: I’ve loved animals my entire life and would love to be a companion for your pets! Young to senior, low to high energy I’m there! I also have experience with reactive dogs, as my girl Olive is still finding her confidence as a previous stray and working on her leash reactivity! I work full time as a registered nurse and have every Monday off and then every other week off. I’m pretty flexible! Let me know what you need! Although I can’t care for your pets in my home, I can offer dog-walking, drop in playtime/hangouts, enrichment games and even take your pup hiking if you’d like!
