About Us
Our Mission
To provide the best pet sitting services in the world and use revenues from those services to invest in the well-being of people and animals across Arizona.
What We Are
We are a Domestic Benefit Corporation. This means that we are legally structured for the purpose of providing public benefits in addition to profits.
How We Do It
We hire the best pet care professionals we can find and take responsibility for the quality of care dogs receive. We leverage modern Pet Sitting Software to create peace of mind for human customers. And we allocate a majority of profits from each quarter to support Arizona non-profits.

We Employ Professionals
Burton and Dogs is a true pet sitting company - not just a "platform." We hire (yes, actually hire) the best, most compassionate and communicative people we can find to provide services for your dogs. Our guarantee is that your dedicated service person won't just be someone looking to make "extra cash" over the summer or during school breaks. Caring for animals is our passion in life. So, think of us as an alternative to the growing number of impersonal pet sitting and dog walking apps that don't take responsibility for the level of care your dogs receive.
We Leverage Modern Pet Sitting Software
Burton and Dogs Inc, in partnership with Time To Pet, is bent on providing our human customers with the greatest level of peace of mind possible. Dogs are our focus in life, but we shouldn't forget: our human customers pay the bills! Knowing this, we take great interest in communicating with our clients every single day, providing updates via text, time-stamped photos, as well as video. Time To Pet's easy-to-use app utilizes GPS Tracking as well, which means you can see where we go during all of our dog walking adventures.
We Are a True Benefit Corporation
Burton and Dogs is proud to be a Domestic Benefit Corporation. We are dedicated to enhancing well-being in Arizona through direct capital investments in non-profit organizations, as well as creative employment-based endeavors to address homelessness, malnutrition, and mental health. To this end, rather than spend money on advertising through Google, Facebook or Yelp, we allocate profits from each quarter for non-profit sponsorships, which enable amazing organizations to put on events and provide services that make life better for stakeholders in Arizona like you.

Our Yelp Reviews
Mary Bogdanov
"I use Connor for morning dog walks and overnight stays when I go out of town. He is the absolute BEST! He is so trustworthy and truly loves both dogs and cats so much that I know he is going to give my pets top priority. My dogs sit by the window each morning waiting for their walk with him. He's very accommodating and flexible with schedules to make dog walking and housesitting super easy with me. I wouldn't use anyone else to look after my pets and house."

"We have used Connor twice now for when we left on vacation and I couldn't be happier! It so hard to find someone you trust to care for your pets like family and to come to your home while you aren't there. My dogs are my life so leaving them was really hard for me but Connor is the BEST! He really made the extra effort to make sure my dogs were taken care of during my vacation and sent me text and picture updates throughout the day. You can really tell he has a passion and love for animals. I would seriously recommend him to anyone!!! Also we have a 250 lb dog and a 10lb dog and he was great with both :) he even took Gimli, our English mastiff (250lbs) on walks, which isn't easy to do and he was amazing."

" I have used Connor from Burton and Dogs for both overnight dog sitting and for in-house daycare when I can't work from home. I would never call anyone else the next time I have a need. It's not just because he is professional, reliable, communicative, and trust-worthy--these things are all important and he embodies them fully. The coolest part is that he genuinely cares about my dog, Walter! You know how they say you can tell a lot about a person by how your dog reacts to meeting them? Walter gets as excited to see Connor as he does when I come home from work. That butt wiggle doesn't lie!!! When Connor sits with Walter, he doesn't just chill on the couch and manage the dog--he actively engages him, exercises him, and keeps him mentally stimulated. How do I know this? He posts Instagram updates with time stamps every time they do something fun, so if I am missing Walter or just want to check in to see how he's doing, I can instantly see what they've been up to. Walter always looks so happy--and he's joyfully exhausted when I get home. Connor even picks up poop in the backyard--even when I've told him he doesn't have to. It really says a lot about how thoughtful he is. I'm so thankful to Connor and Burton and Dogs because I never stress or worry about Walter when they are with him! I highly recommend their services."
