About: I grew up around animals of all kinds on a farm and had the privilege of owning and loving our dog, Betty Lou for 14 years. I work from home and am looking for ways to make extra money while staying active and fitting in with my kids' school schedule (9 am-3 PM). We have a fenced in yard and I will follow whatever guidelines are needed in the client's home. I understand each situation is different and each pet needs specific care.
About: Relationship with animals has always been a passion of mine. I started grooming dogs with my grandmother at the age of 10, but was her assistant long before I earned the title. It brings me joy and fulfillment to care for pups and cats alike, while creating an environment where they (and you) can feel safe and earn my trust in the process. As a part time bartender at Pascolo Restaurant in Downtown Burlington, it would fit into my schedule to walk dogs in the morning, afternoon and early evening as well as weekends. There is a lot of freedom to work around your schedule :) In my home, I live off of Main Street in Vergennes and can provide safe walking around town as well as some of the trails near by. In your home, I am quick to adapt to whatever will make you most comfortable!
“Had a great experience booking daily walks for three days with Jenna. Had to book super last minute and she was kind enough to accept and be flexible with us. She provided a rover card for each walk showing how far and long they walked as well as if my dog pooped 1-2x which was rlly helpful for me. jenna also went the extra mile of feeding him and making sure he ate after his walks while also keeping him company for a good amount of time afterwards too. All of which was rlly appreciated, well communicated, and shows how much she cares! I also received a daily picture which I looked forward to everyday :) not many dog walkers would do all of this but she did. Also, it was rlly important that my dog goes on a 30 min walk once every 24 h or else he won’t eat and starts throwing up from starving himself and she responsibly did show up within the asked/ flexible time frame:) Would book another walk with her in the future”
About: Hi! I’m Abby, and I’ve been caring for animals my whole life—everything from playful puppies to mellow senior pets. Friends and family always turn to me when they need someone dependable to watch their furry loved ones, and I’d love to do the same for you. I know how important it is to feel at ease while you’re away. That’s why I treat every pet like they’re my own—lots of love, attention, and consistency with their routines. Whether it’s walks around the neighborhood, playtime, snuggles, or keeping up with special diets or medications, I’ve got it covered. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine—I work on a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time for walks, drop-ins, and playtime throughout the day. Whether it’s morning, afternoon, or evening, I can adjust to your pet’s needs. When I care for pets in their own home, my priority is keeping them comfortable and sticking to their normal routine. I follow all instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications, and playtime—so everything feels familiar for your pet. I give them plenty of love and attention, but also respect their space if they’re more shy or independent. I make sure water bowls are always fresh, litter boxes are clean, and your home is left just the way you expect it. I also send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
