Dog Walkers in Bennington, VT

“Danielle is the best dogwalker I've ever had. She's very attentive and knows each dogs special needs. They love her and go crazy when they hear her car in the driveway. I couldn't be happier!”

“Iris was pleasant to chat with. Georgia liked her and went into a calm mode with her soothing head pets. Iris handled Georgia well on the walk - maintaining control and kindness. I'm happy she'll be with Georgia sometimes.”

“Davis is great! We have a very challenging rescue dog that has a lot of quirks and takes a lot of patience and she has been very accommodating through it all. Our pups are always well taken care of by Davis!”

About: I've taken care of friends and families dogs for many years. I've also helped care for additional pets including goats, chickens and horses. I treat each pet as if they are my own! I am currently transitioning my work schedule so I am typically free all day Monday, after 5 pm on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and morning or evenings on Friday. I'm available all weekend long, unless otherwise noted. I will have your pets leashed at all times, unless differently specified by the owner. I want your pets to stay safe under my wing.

“I lucked out when I found Ericca on Rover. My dog is not easy to walk. It takes strength and flexibility and some degree of wildness to keep up with Kona. But Ericca isn’t intimidated or dissuaded. She is the perfect combo of deep caring, responsible capability, and natural honesty. She drives my extremely lively Husky to safe outdoor places for walks just like she is me, allowing me to have a break or an intense workday without worrying that Kona needs a walk. Thank you kind and conscientious, strong and fearless Ericca!”

About: I've had dogs most of my life. I currently walk my high-energy 95 pound German Shepherd every day, rain or shine, and I often walk a friend's slow and cautious senior American Bulldog. I love to be outdoors and hit the trails with a canine friend or two. I'm skilled at walking dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I'm local to Bennington, VT and can be flexible with scheduling. I'm available most days from 11 AM through early evening and I am willing to take your dog or dogs on long or short walks as needed. I do not provide home care for dogs, as this is specifically prohibited in my lease. I can pick up your dog at your home and take them to a local park or trail or walk around the neighborhood. Please let me know if your dog is reactive or aggressive and I will try to plan a route that minimizes triggering encounters. I cannot guarantee we won't encounter other dogs, cats, squirrels, etc though.

About: I have been taking care of animals for nearly a decade. I love the tiniest to the largest, indoor to outdoor. I will happily follow your routines and requests and care for your animals as if they were my own. I am the proud owners of four cats, two dogs, a lizard, and caged invertebrates. No animal too big or too small, I love them all. I build each day's routine around the jobs at hand, flexibility is my main attribute. I will go out of my way to follow your routine to keep your pet on schedule. I have one job that takes me away from the house that is a per diem, the full duration of which is only two and a half hours. I will do my best to make sure that if boarding your animal at my house I do not have that job coincide but if it does I have a safe spot to separate animals for that short period. I have a fenced in backyard and a large open concept house. I have the ability to separate your animal from my animals if that is requested. My personal animals are used to visitors, furry and human.

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I’ve been 16 years old. I watched for family, friends, and people in my town growing up. It was a great way to learn responsibility and the importance of caring for something. I have experience raising a litter of puppies recently. We worked on listening skills, potty training, and knowing boundaries in the yard. I am currently home with my baby caring for him, so I have a very available schedule. I am home all weekdays and weekends as well to offer care for your pets. My yard is fenced in, and there is a large area in the back of the property we live on where we go to play and run around that is not near the road at all. I’d have to leash dogs to walk them back there and then they’re safe to be off!

“Deborah is fantastic!! Deborah was amazing with Koda. She was prompt and flexible with my last minute booking. After our meet and greet, Koda immediately clicked with her and I felt really comfortable spending the day away. She sent so many cute pictures and i came home to a happy and tired pup :) would absolutely book again and so happy we found her”

About: I’ve interned at my local vet clinic for two years now and have recently moved to a paid position as an assistant! through this internship i have not only learned substantial knowledge regarding pet care, such as how to most effectively administer medications, but also discovered my love for pet sitting, as i have become one of the veterinarian’s permanent pet sitter! i also plan to go to vet school after i earn my bachelors degree! i am currently working various part time jobs, so i will need at least two weeks notice for a majority of the services i provide. i will try my best to arrange my schedule for your convenience! i’ll treat your furry family like my own! i come with treats ready (with permission of course) and never leave without a game of fetch or whatever else your babies might enjoy! they’ll definitely be the highlight of my day, so i’ll try to be there’s too!

About: I've taken care of dogs and other pets (cats, fish, & chickens) for my entire life. I have a natural affinity towards dogs and they often relax in my presence. I've trained puppies and difficult dogs. As an upcoming freshman in college on summer break, I'm available for pet-sitting every day of the week for any and all hours of the day! I currently have an energetic terrier and have had several dogs with varying levels of energy, anxiety, and feistiness, so I have experienced it all! I've been taking care of pets my entire life.

“Celeste is fantastic! Im so relieved to have found someone who is sensitive to anxious dogs and willing to go the extra mile to accommodate her behavioral needs!”

About: I have spent the last 9 years walking and caring for dogs, and I truly believe that ample outdoor time and multiple daily walks are essential for their social and emotional well-being. I am excited about the opportunity to help take care of your beloved fur baby and provide them with the love and attention they deserve. I look forward to your consideration! I am currently working part time and going to college online, so I have ample time in the mornings to provide care for your furry friend. I am able to provide dog in the mornings during both the winter and the summer. Also, during the warmer months I provide cat walking services which is also amazing for your cats well being. I will unable to provide pet sitting services at my home as I have two cats that need space, but I am okay with taking care of your furry friend at your residence while you are away.

About: ive had a couple of dog growing up in my childhood a sweet old black lab and a super crazy dingo.. in my free time after school and during summer i used to walk them, no amount of walking could satisfy my dingo.. id have her pull my bike to get all her energy out since we didnt have any closed in areas she could run off in.. ( i dont do this anymore! i realize its not very safe! she absolutely loved it for sure though) i love pups big and small old and energetic theyre all very unique and id love some new friends to get me out of the house. id ask you beforehand of course if youd be okay with them swimming, theres a pond i can bring them to after walking to cool off at. our backyard is fenced! i have two cats, so id like to know how your dog reacts around small creatures, if they cant be in contact i can always but them into a room while the dog is over. most likely theyd be outside! lots of shade and id keep em well hydrated and happy :3 i currently have been on a job hunt since what feels like forever, my schedule is very. very open.. since i dont have a car, drop off would be ideal, if your close enough to walk to i can do that too! weekends are the only time id be able to pick up your pooch my cats get their waters filled and cleaned almost daily, lots of love of course and are very spoiled. i dont have any dogs at the moment, so of course id love to chat about what youd expect and need for your lovely pup! im good with communication and friendly, special needs id be extra attentive to. im very good at remembering small things, though id still write em down incase!

About: From the young age of 5, I’ve been helping care for pets around me of all kinds. I have dog sat, walked, I have cared for livestock, and I have owned a dog who I had from the age of 14 to 25. I trained all of our household pets as a child, and I have always felt very connected to animals. It’s been almost 2 years without my fur baby, and I’m ready to connect again. I’m not allowed to have a dog where I live. It’s less about the money; the dog walking comes from a place of love and care because I genuinely miss the connection with animals. I love to workout, I’m more than happy to take longer walks, and I’ll keep your doggy safer than any other, right down to keeping them off of the hot pavement, and making sure we have a drink if it’s a long walk! Between part-time management, and three kiddos, I’m hoping to find as much time as I can to help keep your puppers going. I’m ultimately hoping to find a daily/weekly companion 😊 First and foremost, I always respect the walking rules of the owner. Every owner has different preferences, but one thing that will always remain the same is your dog’s safety. They will be kept off of hot pavement, provided a drink on a long walk, we will steer clear of other pets or dangerous situations, cross safely, and I’m always watching the ground for hazards.

About: I've taken care of animals all shapes and sizes since I can remember. Growing up my only job was to make sure my fur babies were fed and loved unconditionally. I would go to a friend of the family and help her with her pit bull and (several) greyhounds. I've worked at kennels from a young age and have had my own share of birds, mice, fish, hamsters, Guinea pigs, and chinchillas as well as dogs and cats. The home has only been without pets for around 7 months now and I would love to dedicate some of my time to people who need genuine love and care for their fur babies! I do not have a job, I am around all of the time! I can be there any time day or night! You name it. I do not have a fenced in yard, however all of the neighborhood doggies are very very friendly. I have a decent sized yard and live next to multiple fields and grassy areas.
