What We Do
Our Mission
What We Do
We walk dogs in the mornings, let them out during the day, and care for them at night while protecting your home when you're out of town. Plus, we send joyous updates.
Regular Dog Walking
Private Walks around the neighborhood with a consistent caregiver. Get Sparky out and about with his Dog Walker for regular exercise in the mornings. Shorter potty breaks available in afternoons. Note: during hotter months, time spent outside in the afternoon is reduced to 5 minutes or less. As soon as they potty, it's back indoors. Our regular Dog Walking services are billed monthly.

Sometimes all you need is for someone to drop by to let your pup out to do their business while you're at work. That's what our 15-minute walk or potty break is for. We'll take great photos, notify you when we've arrived via push notifications, and send you a post-visit report card that includes the route we walked, tracked via GPS.

- coverage from the hour you need us there on the first day to the same hour the next and so on (24-hr periods)
All payments are due in full the day before first scheduled service. If payment isn't submitted by the first day, then we will run the card on file to secure payment. Pet Sitting stays require a 50% deposit to reserve dates (refundable via store credit if cancelled with 30 day's notice)
Our Post-Visit Updates Will Brighten Your Day
Everything we do is about making dogs happy and humans smile. Part of the humans smiling part is our goal for every one of our visits, which is to create at the end of it a digital report card that you will want to share with friends and family. The post-visit report card is where staff members get to put their personalities into their work. Sometimes we're funny; sometimes we're apparently aspiring novelists, providing paragraph upon paragraph of details about our adventures with your dog; and sometimes we take the best darn photos you've ever seen of Sparky. Regardless, we always try to brighten your day.
We Leverage Modern Technology To Provide The Best Possible Experience
Burton and Dogs has partnered with the industry's leading pet care software company, Time To Pet, to provide customers with an intuitive means of communicating with staff, submitting service requests, paying invoices securely online, and receiving beautiful post-visit updates from their Dog Walker and Pet Sitter--all through our dedicated mobile app. Our walks are tracked via GPS. You'll receive notifications when we arrive at the house. And you'll be able to correspond with us before, during, and after our scheduled visits.
We're Professionals—Not Hobbyists
Our staff is carefully picked, thoroughly vetted, and professionally trained over the course of two or more weeks to follow a thoughtful system of standard operating procedures designed to keep dogs safe, healthy, and happy. We have emergency protocols, backup plans, and a full time office manager who is always a text or call away—both for you, the client, and our team of Dog Walker and Sitters.
We Provide A Familiar Face Every Time For Consistent Care
Our business is organized to foster positive human relationships that can build based on consistency and trust. When you hire Burton and Dogs, your dog will be cared for by the same trusted walkers or sitters every time so that real relationships can form. Each dog will also be assigned a backup caregiver—usually the owner, Connor Burton—for any rare occasions in which the primary person becomes ill, is away on vacation, etc.
We Are Certified In Professional Pet Sitting, Dog Walking, and Pet CPR/First Aid
Each of our Sitters has completed Pet First Aid Training as well as the CPS-DW certification course in professional Pet Sitting and Dog Walking developed by the Professional Pet Care Association. Consequently, we are equipped with the knowledge necessary to recognize symptoms of bloat, blockages, and other ailments to ensure dogs get the medical care they need if ever they need it. Additionally, Burton and Dogs procedures have been designed around the best practices and policies prescribed in the CPS-DW training program.
We Are Insured And Bonded
Burton and Dogs is insured and bonded by Pet Care Insurance (PCI). In 9 years of operations, we've never had to use it, but it's there in case things ever don't go as smoothly as they usually do. When you book a pet sitting stay or a regular series of dog walks with us, you can rest assured that there is coverage in place for incidents such as an injury to your pet, damage to property, or theft.
We Believe In Happy
Our business is centered around a few foundational beliefs that all team members need to subscribe to, but chief among them is that the world becomes a brighter place when dogs are happy. We believe that when we follow through on making sure they are well-exercised and well-taken care of, the impact extends well beyond individual dogs. Taking amazing care of dogs positively effects the conscious experience of their owners too, as well as ourselves, and that has even further beneficial consequences down the road. Happy dogs create happy humans, and happy humans have better interactions with other humans. By putting the joy of dogs first, our optimism is that we are making our society a happier place than it was yesterday.
Our Customers Are Happy Customers
We're proud to say that our customers tend to love us. But don't just let us assert it. Feel free to read the reviews from the amazing people who have entrusted us with the care of their dogs over the last 9+ years. <3
Join Our Coalition!
The Making Happy Co.
As our tagline suggests, Burton and Dogs is about “More Than Just Dog Walking.” We aren’t here to just visit your dog, take them around the block, and then go to the next house to do it over again. Instead, everyone at Burton and Dogs is energized by a belief in making the world brighter by putting the joy of dogs first. And our clients believe in it too. Together, we are invested in the joy of dogs—and, in turn, our dogs give us cause to laugh and look forward to things. For us, that includes our next exercise session with them. For you, it’s coming home to their happy, wagging tails. Regardless, all of us believe in taking amazing care of them so that they can return the favor. We believe in Making Happy.
And that’s why we call our coalition of clients and team members The Making Happy Co. If you'd like to join us in our cause, there's room under our tent for you! Become a client today!
