Dog Walking Bennington

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats since I was a kid. What started as a small childhood side hustle of going out of my way to care for other people's dogs has grown into a lifelong passion. I raised my own dog until he was 16, giving me deep, adaptable experience in senior pet care. I also volunteered at the Humane Society, working with animals of all sizes and breeds, especially the misunderstood ones! Whether we're going on a fast-paced walk, hanging out with a lazy Pug, or just cleaning the litterbox and chilling with your cat, I'm ready to treat your pets like my own. As a remote worker, my daily schedule is generally very flexible! I am open throughout the day, but I prefer to schedule most of my walks and drop-ins for anytime after 11 AM or 12 PM. Since I am also a student, my exact availability might shift a bit depending on my course load for the semester, but I will always keep my calendar updated and communicate clearly with you. Because I currently live in an apartment, I exclusively offer walks and drop-in visits at your home. Honestly, I believe that keeping pets in their familiar environment is the easiest and least stressful option for them. When visiting your home, I will be completely respectful of your space, ensure all doors or gates are securely closed, and keep your pets safe and happy in the environment they already know best.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was a kid, which has given me a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors. This experience allows me to connect with them on a personal level. I also have training skills for puppies. My goal is to provide a loving and safe environment, tailored to each dog’s unique needs. I’m a college student and have a part- time job, but always make sure my pet doesn’t feel lonely by providing her enough attention. I prioritize pet care by scheduling dedicated times for walks, play, and feeding. I ensure flexibility to accommodate each pet’s unique needs while maintaining my routine. In my home, I ensure a safe environment by pet-proofing spaces and providing cozy resting areas. At clients' homes, I maintain routines, respect their space, and prioritize safety through secure gates and proper supervision. Trust is built through open communication and consistent updates.

“Madelyn was available in a pinch, replied quickly and has reliably shown up to give my dog Hiro a much needed walk every week when I am unable. Definitely recommend, and I'm so glad I found her when I did. :)”

“Christine was amazing with our dog Joey! She did an hour walk with him while we were on vacation ( our friends were house-sitting but weren't able to come home for lunches to let him out) And she always provided the best pictures, was very descriptive, let me know right away that he chewed on the couch 😭😂 And overall was just the perfect walker. I completely trust her with our dog and our home, I can't speak highly enough of her kind demeanor and professionalism.”

“Chelsea you are amazing - reliable, friendly and good with Laney! I like that you let me know your arrival time for each walk. This allows me time to prepare Laney for her walk. Thank you!”

About: Currently a pet parent of 1 dog and 2 cats. Experience outside of rover taking care of peoples furry friends. Good with being an advocate and dealing with dogs who are more shy and nervous as I have a shy/nervous dog myself. I will be intentional about the care and support your pet needs. I currently have a very flexible work schedule and will be able to fit to most schedules in terms of the family and pet needs. Though we won’t host any pets at our home, I will make sure I have a full understanding of your expectations and needs when taking care of your favorite family member.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, About a year ago I took the big step of adopting a husky of my own (Ela) she had made me realize I love taking care of animals even if they can be a challenge. I am patient with all pets and understand that they need time to learn as well and love them for their flaws and all. I currently only work weekends at my gym job and usually have full availability on weekdays depending on time meaning I am very flexible with scheduling. In my home I have a fenced backyard with plenty of space to run around, I make sure exits / entrances are secure both at my own home and at others to make sure pets can’t get lost, I always keep a eye on my dog Ela during potty breaks to make sure she doesn’t danger herself or others. I pay attention to when a pet / animal has a want or need and will not ignore them treating them as a priority. Ela loves to eat and is a natural scavenger so I make sure no harmful foods or anything that shouldn’t be eaten is left out in the open.

“My dog instantly connected with Mari and gets so excited when she comes over for weekly walks. Mari is personable and communicates well. She always tracks and takes at least one photo while out and about. I would recommend her 100%.”

“Great first walk with Freja. Good rapport with my extra shy dog.”

About: I've taken care of animals professionally and personally since I was a kid. Starting with cats, then getting dogs and learning to train them. In high school I started getting into bigger and smaller pets - rats and then horses. I even have experience with caring for fish. If you've got it, I can learn how to care for it just like you would! I work at a vet ER, so I can do late night check ins for the first half of the week or almost anytime on my weekends (Thursday, Friday, Saturday). How you care for your pet is how I will care for your pet. Tell me all the nitty gritty details and I'll do everything I can to go above and beyond to make sure your animals get only the best.

About: Ive been around small animals for a year now, I would adore to go on walks/adventure with your fur babies! Skills; knows how to feed , clean up after them, brush, give treats and walk for both dogs & cats. I can keep up a fast pace if needed for your small ones!:) I am a college student at Clark college/Wsuv and work part time and study in between those hours, so weekends work best for me! I can get up early for a morning walk or an afternoon jog! For some background information about me! I have worked at a childrens daycare for the past 3 years, keeping your fur babies safe is no challenge to me! I would love to keep your fur babies safe and healthy while you are away! In my own I care for my chickens everyday, check on their health, water and food supply, clean their area and keep them safe when outside!

About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have experience caring for a wide range of pets, including dogs, cats, birds, and guinea pigs. I’ve also spent time working with horses and helping care for barn animals, which has given me a strong understanding of different temperaments, routines, and needs. I genuinely love spending time with animals, especially getting dogs out for walks and making sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for. When I’m responsible for a pet, I treat them as if they were my own. I pay close attention to every detail, from feeding routines to exercise needs and any specific instructions you provide. I take pet care seriously and understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your pet feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for at all times. I work part-time, so I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate a variety of needs, including daytime walks, drop-in visits, and last-minute requests when available. I understand how important it is to trust someone in your home. I’m very respectful of your space and always follow any instructions you leave closely. I keep things clean, secure, and consistent with your pet’s routine so they feel comfortable and safe. I also make sure doors are locked, pets are secure, and I’m happy to provide updates so you have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life—dogs, cats, and everything in between. I’m a hands-on, attentive caregiver who truly enjoys getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether it’s high-energy pups who love long walks or older dogs who need a gentle pace and a little extra TLC, I adapt to their needs. What sets me apart? I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and I treat your pets like they’re my own. I’m comfortable with administering medication, handling large breeds, and managing pets with anxiety or reactivity. I’m also happy to care for multiple pets at once or follow specific routines you’ve built at home. I understand that leaving your pet with someone new can be stressful, so I always aim to communicate clearly, send updates, and provide peace of mind. Pet care fits perfectly into my current routine—I’m looking for flexible side income while I build my small business. That means my schedule is wide open, and I’m available for daytime walks, drop-ins, and even last-minute bookings. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine to keep things as comfortable and stress-free as possible! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your dog, cat, or another companion, I treat every animal with the same attention and respect I give my own. In your home, I stick closely to your established routines—whether that’s feeding times, medication, potty breaks, or favorite walking routes. I make sure pets feel secure and cared for by keeping their environment calm, predictable, and clean. I’m mindful of safety at all times: watching for open doors, avoiding hazards on walks, and making sure your pet is never left in a risky situation. I also send regular updates so you know exactly how your pet is doing while you're away.

About: I’ve had pets since the age of five, and have loved taking care of animals since! I’ve helped take care of plenty of dogs, big and small. I’ve owned Alaskan Malamutes, Labradors, Dobermans, etc and loved to walk them all. I’m good at getting pets to take their medicine and love to give seniors the extra care and attention they deserve. I’ve had several dogs since they were puppies and have potty trained them and taught them neat tricks too! I’m familiar with dog puzzles and other mentally stimulating toys (gotta keep those brains busy!) I’m also comfortable with reactive dogs-I owned an 85lb reactive dog and took him safely on walks and hikes with me. The safety/comfort of the dog and any other people/animals is of the utmost importance. I promise to take care of your baby like they’re my baby. I work until about 2pm but have plenty of time in the afternoons, evenings, and weekends to help take care of or walk your pet! Currently I’m not available to take pets into my home. I have a senior kitty who I am still getting to know and my main goal is to keep her comfortable and safe until I learn how she is around other animals.
