Who we strive to become
In keeping with our mission, vision, and values
Our mission
Our mission, at Aging in Place with Pets, is to help older adults and other vulnerable, but still capable, populations in the greater Burlington community to take care of their pets. We provide social, emotional, and physical support among those whose pets motivate them to stay independent within the comfort of their and their pets' homes.
Our vision
Our vision is to help those both within and outside of the greater Burlington community to understand the value, and importance, of older adults keeping their pets since they most often, if not always, represent the cornerstone around which they structure their morning, daytime, evening, and even nighttime routines.
We believe that our experience on using this very subtle, yet highly effective, approach to improve the social, emotional, and physical health of older adults is, and will continue to be, a resource to the greater Burlington community.

Our values
Openness and honesty
We are who we say we are.
Dignity and respect
We treat you and your pets with dignity and respect, so much so that we decided to make it our slogan.
Safety, comfort, and independence
We are committed to helping older adults to improve their performance in the instrumental activity of daily living of the care of pets.
Meaning and purpose
We incorporate meaning and purpose into everything that we do — from our Tuesday and Thursday Program to our Monday and Wednesday Service to our Saturday Event to our Friday Workshop.
Reassurance
We want you to know everything is going to be okay.
