“As our pup is only 6 months old, this was the first time we had left him with anyone outside our home, much less “boarded” him for 5 days. And Hobey is your stereotypical, energetic lab puppy . Jocelyn and Julian were great with him and provided him with both the structure and opportunities for play and outside time, including woods walks and trips to the dog park . They got to know him and understand him quickly and incorporated him into their family unit during his stay. We are very appreciative!”
“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.”
“Catherine and her husband are amazing! You can tell they really care about dogs and will work around your dogs needs. We got a bunch of pictures and they had so many fun adventures during that time.”
“My husky, Sparky, had a wonderful time staying with Aiden! Aiden communicated well, made sure Sparky felt comfortable and cared for, and even took him for a nice hike. Sparky came back happy and healthy, and I'd be glad to ask for Aiden's help again in the future.”
“Ruchi and her husband are so wonderful during our dogs stay at their house. I was a bit nervous as I’ve never left our dogs with a sitter before and she was incredibly communicative and proactive. She sent us so many pictures which set us at ease and she was genuinely kind and lovely. Would recommend!”
About: I’ve spent many years volunteering at shelters. Dog walking at a very young age started walking dogs in my neighborhood as a kid. It’s only progressed from there. I have training skills in potty training, commands, etc. I have some minimal behavioral training as well. I wake up at 6:00 am everyday. The dogs will get fed shortly after being walked. From there they will be walked every 4 hours. Plus they will get play time for example hike, running, fetch, swimming, etc. I do have 4 dogs in my home. They are all very friendly and well trained. They have been through extensive dog training. I also have enrichment toys to help keep your pups occupied. I have the ability to separate the dogs if needed. I do also have the knowledge of medication administration. I do make sure to monitor the entire time. Will be sure to send photo and video updates.
“Aaron was a great fit for our dog - Miso loved spending the week with him. It took a few days for Miso to adjust to his first ever sitter and Aaron handled it well - checking in with us when he noticed that Miso wasn't eating and seemed a little home sick. By the end of the week, Miso seemed to be having a great time. Aaron sent pictures and updates throughout the week, which was really appreciated. We would highly recommend Aaron. He was open to meeting with us before we left on vacation and asked great questions (vet info, local contacts, likes and dislikes, etc). We usually leave Miso at a boarder, but since our trip was going to be longer than usual we were hoping to find someone local that could give Miso more personal attention and affection - Aaron made us feel comfortable leaving Miso with him for an extended period of time. Thanks for taking such good care of Miso for us, Aaron!”
“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!”
“Matt accepted our last-minute boarding request and took excellent care of our high-maintenance dog for an entire weekend. We appreciated how he accommodated her eccentric behavior with a smile, and we look forward to booking him again!”
“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!”
“Colleen was great with my dog. He is blind so generally needs a little extra love and guidance. She did excellent with all of that, and he was the happiest guy when I picked him up. Would absolutely recommend her, and I would not hesitate to book her again when I am out of town.”
“Eric was very flexible and accommodating. He sent lots of pictures, videos and communicated well. Our dog got lots of exercise and Eric seemed to take him everywhere with him. We will plan to rebook with him in the future if he is available and highly recommend.”

“Erica is fantastic! This was our first time using a pet sitting service and we were nervous, but Erica quickly put our minds at ease. She came over before the booking to meet our cat, Gilbert, and they immediately clicked. She is clearly a pet-person. We booked Erica for a week of drop-in visits while we were away on vacation. She was punctual and a great communicator, sending pictures of our fur baby each day. There was a major snowstorm and 12+ hour power outage while we were away, and Erica went above and beyond to communicate with us and make sure Gilbert’s needs were met. She even shoveled our walkway! We highly recommend Erica and will definitely book with her again.”
“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!

“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!”
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.
“Our dog had an amazing time at daycare with Jake and Echo! They sent us pictures every day to let us know how he was doing and his communication was fantastic. They were also super flexible and accommodating with our drop off and pickup schedule. By the end of the week our dog was so excited to go visit every day. Will absolutely be bringing him back in the future!”
“We wanted to spend a day in Burlington but knew our non-dog-loving-dog would have a hard time. Catherine and her husband really helped us out. Charley had a great time hanging out with her, playing with the toys she had, enjoying yummy treats, and going on a walk. I returned to a happy dog. She opened our eyes to what travel with a sometimes challenging dog can be. Yay!”
“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.”

“Darian is awesome. She's dogsat Frida a bunch of times this winter, and she takes great care of her, takes her for walks, and feeds her when I'm out during meal times. She's communicative, on time, and always keeps me up to date on how the day is going, which is so great for peace of mind. Very happy and grateful that's she's able to watch Frida!”
“What a gem Chris is! Super kind and responsive and did a terrific job caring for our Yorkie for the day. His place is clean and our little guy felt comfortable right away. We will be sure to book him again the next time we’re in Burlington. Thanks Chris!”
About: I've had pets my entire life. For over 40 years, I've raised puppies and kitties into well-behaved, loved members of my family. I have some experience giving medicine and training. I work from home 4 days of the work week and even on the day that I’m away, pets are never left alone for more than 5-6 hours a day, which is rare at that. I walk our dog daily and there is plenty of time to go out and play in a fenced yard multiples times during the day. As mentioned above, we lets our dogs get plenty of fresh air and exercise and they are rarely alone for long stretches at a time. If I'm taking care of a pet in their own home, those pets can get walks and regular visits based on their needs.
“Hannah was so great with my puppy Tucker! She provided frequent updates w/pics, has the sweetest dog who got to play with him & now he is happily sound asleep after such a great day!”

“Even though she had a busy schedule, Julia was able to accommodate my girls schedule for a walk (through some crazy weather too). Def would book Julia again to take care of my two senior girls.”

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!

Nu kept us informed with fun photos of activities while asking questions in order to tend to the dogs’ needs. Highly recommend to any dog owner 🙂”
“Harrison took great care of my dog Daisy while we were away for a week. He shared updates and photos and was super helpful about coordinating drop off/pick up - everything went smoothly. I would absolutely book with Harrison in the future when we travel; she had a great time!”
“Julie and her partner were absolutely amazing! They were communicative and attentive, took care of our dog like their own. They are great people who genuinely just want to make sure your pet is comfortable away from home! I can't recommend them enough!”
About: I’ve owned dogs my entire life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I’m also studying veterinary medicine, giving me a strong understanding of animal health and behavior. Over the years, I’ve dog sat for many families, caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I treat every dog as if they were my own, making their safety, comfort, and happiness my top priorities while you’re away. I work part time and I have a yard and a full apartment where an animal could be very comfortable in. I’m very active and take many walks throughout the day. I have a lot of space in our home. A lot of space for a dog bed or crate to be in the bedroom or even sleep in the bed. I have a private yard that is set away from the street and other neighbors with friendly dogs. I follow each pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, fresh food and water, and lots of love. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident their pet is happy and well cared for while they’re away.
