We are a family dog walking and pet sitting company based out of Ahwatukee that is looking to get dogs (and ourselves!) moving and exercising in the mornings.

What We Do
We walk dogs in the mornings, let them out for potty breaks in the middle of the day, and care for them at night while protecting your home when you're out of town.
Connor Burton | Owner, Dog Walker, Pet Sitter
Connor is the owner and founder of Burton and Dogs Inc, as well as the primary service provider. He House Sits for clients throughout the calendar year and runs Burton and Dogs Inc remotely from their homes. Connor started Burton and Dogs as a sole proprietor in 2017, and has grown his doggy operation mostly through direct word of mouth referrals. Connor was an athlete in high school and played baseball and basketball as a kid. He has always wanted to do something that involved exercise for a living, so walking dogs is a dream job for him! He has experience caring for dogs, cats, ferrets, bunnies, fish, and turtles. While not a certified trainer, he is knowledgeable in canine behavior and can help enforce good manners during walks as well as control large dogs that pull. He is Pet first Aid Certified and resides in the San Sonoma apartment complex on Priest and Warner.
Carson Burton | Dog Walker & Pet Sitter
Carson is the youngest Burton brother. He's been walking dogs and house sitting for clients in Ahwatukee since 2018. He is reliable, professional, and eager to help our human and animal clients live happy lives. He has extensive experience caring for all kinds of dogs, including young puppies, large canines, reactive walkers, and senior pups. He can administer medications, including pills and insulin injections. Carson is extremely physically active, played baseball for South Mountain Community College, and recently graduated from Arizona State University with a degree in computer science (smarty pants!). He is amazing at video games like Gears of War and Call of Duty even though he doesn't play that much. He works out daily at the EoS in Tempe and lives with Connor at San Sonoma.
Heidi Rodewald | Dog Walker
Heidi joined Burton and Dogs in June of 2023 and we are so glad she did! She is an all-around pet fanatic and has over 25 years of personal experience caring for domesticated pets, including dogs, cats, birds, small rodents, fish, and turtles. She is an avid hiker and jogger, and prides herself in being very physically active. She is capable of walking a variety of different kinds of dogs with different temperaments, but is especially familiar with the needs of smaller breeds. She has proven to be extremely reliable, incredibly communicative and fun with clients, and eager to start her workdays in the early parts of the morning. Heidi is also a Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT) so when she's not walking dogs she is offering mobile massage services or taking clients at her private studio in the heart of Tempe. She resides in the Lakewood neighborhood in Ahwatukee with her boyfriend and their own little zoo at home: two cats, a shih tzu, a diamondback terrapin, two red eared sliders, and a family of pleco fish.
Nonie Lee | Dog Walker
Nonie is her name and baking is her game! Well, that and caring for animals! Her career up until now has been almost exclusively in Pastry, but she has owned and cared for pets ever since she was a child. Nonie is deeply passionate about animals, provides for a dog and a cat of her own, and is highly familiar with the unique needs of dogs for exercise, love, and a routine. Nonie is incredibly personable with an infectious positive attitude, as well as physically active and a hard worker. She aims to make a positive impact in people’s lives with her time, attention, and customer service—all while getting those steps in with a dog or two at her side. Equipped with a certification in Pet First Aid, she is also knowledgeable about what to do in an emergency, should one arise. She resides in Ahwatukee on Elliot and 48th.
