About: Hi! I’ve been pet sitting and had my own dog for many years. Now, I have experience from drop-in visits to extended overnight stays, with many different types of needs. I’m dedicated to caring for a pet the same way their owner would and look forward to spending time with animals. I work from home most days and can accommodate a flexible potty schedule and activity level. I enjoy taking breaks to spend with pets, to get outside or tuck in on the sofa! I have an enclosed garden and large, unfenced yard. We are well back from the main road so pets are welcome to explore the neighborhood.
About: I’ve pet sat for a few families for many years. I grew up around dogs, had cats of my own, and now have 2 precious dogs who are my world. I currently work a full time job, typically done around 4pm. I am looking to get more experience with pet sitting and make some extra income. I will treat your animals like they’re my own, with nothing but love and compassion. They’re a small part of our life but we’re they’re whole life so they should be treated like family
“Julia was amazing with Leon on her drop in visit with him. She paid so much attention to him and was so patient with him. He is a senior so that is exactly what he needs. We will be having her back to look after him soon!”
About: I’ve taken care of neighbors and families pets for extended periods (~7-10 days). I found a litter of feral kittens this past summer and cared for them until finding them homes. I’ve also watched many breeds of dogs from chihuahuas to mountain dogs. I’m available most days and hours as I don’t have much of a routine as this is my current source of income during my time of from college. My personal dogs are able to be off leash constantly as I am from a farm background which allows them to have a lot of space. The dogs I’ve watched often have fenced in yards that I’ll play with them in and let them outside on a schedule the owner has requested.
About: I was born into a home with two dogs and always had a home full of pets growing up. Pets to me are part of the family. I am currently employed full time. I am available on most days of the week from 5pm to 9pm and 10am to 9pm most weekends. My dog is a member of the family so she shares all the perks. My house currently lacks a fenced in backyard for this reason I do not do boarding.
About: Life long, I grew up with cat's and dogs. Along with other animals in the household. Mainly growing up with two cat's and a herding dog but also two small lap dogs.

About: Throughout my life, I’ve always surrounded myself with animals. Ive owned horses, dogs, and cats and also have extensive experience with rescue dogs who have endured trauma. I have yet to meet an animal that I haven’t befriended and continue to work closely with rescues and assist people in rehoming their pets. I just left my job as a social worker and am currently pursuing my MSW. I am looking for a part time gig to help get me through school, so my schedule is pretty open. :) I normally go for a morning walk with my own rescue pup and then hit the yoga mat and get some school work done. My schedule is very flexible. I have a rescue dog who does not get along with other doggos (disappointing but we respect his boundaries). Therefore, I wouldn’t be able to house your doggo at my home but open to house sitting and for advance notice clients, I can have my father watch my dog for a week or so.

I will gladly communicate with the owner to accommodate the needs of your pet while taking care of them for you.

About: I've helped take care of dogs ever since I was five years old. I was relied on in my family to feed, walk, and give emotion care to our various dogs over the years.

I have a large shared backyard that could be used to throw a ball of frisbee with dogs. My house is close to the Burlington Bike Path which would allow for easy access to walk. My apartment is also spacious enough for your pet to be able to roam or big enough to accommodate a crate if needed.

I am very comfortable and confident with all types of dogs, and often dog sit and dog walk for friends and neighbors when they are out of town. I currently live in Burlington and am free on weekends and after 5pm MWF and after 6pm Tuesday and Thursday. I am able to spend as much time as needed with your pets if it makes you, or them, more comfortable! I’m comfortable caring for pets in new environments. I can crate, feed, walk, and play with your animals, and will be clean and respectful to your space and home.

Mayla M.
“We had Mayla house sit our 4 cats and 2 dogs. She was great. She won over our two shy cats and was able to manage all our pet and house needs. Things were a bit complicated because she had to drop off and pick up our dogs from Doggie Daycare but it worked out perfectly. She literally went the extra mile to help meet our needs. We also had some snow/driveway issues that she communicated to us so we could arrange it to be taken care of. We would certainly use her again. Thank you Mayla!”
