Reliable Dog Walker and Sitter
Pet care experience
Greetings Owners and Pups, I have dog sitted since high school with multiple different families of dog(s) near my home town in Lyndonville, Vermont and throughout New England. I sharpened my dog skills volunteering at Dakin Humane Society in Springfield Massachusetts while attending graduate school. While there, I attained the highest level of dog walking allowing me to walk all difficulty levels (shy, anxious, resource guarding, dog reactive, getting front clip harnesses on and off dogs, visually impaired, deaf, etc.) of dog in the shelter. While at Dakin I would drive, using my own vehicle, dogs to the local park for extended walks. I can adjust to your dog's needs. I have experience with dogs that have special dietary needs. I have watched younger highly active dogs that need lots of activity and older less active dogs that just want cuddles on the couch. I have experience giving medications to dogs and you can be confident your dogs will receive their needed medications. I have been dog sitting on and off for the past 10 years. While at your home I will do all things required to keep your house up to date while you are away. That includes lawn care, plant/flower care, and mail along with all of your dog(s) needs. Although I do prefer to dog sit at my own home, where your dog can be friends with mine. Thank you for taking the time to read through my profile. If you have any follow up questions please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to spending time with your dog(s) and providing excellent care for your dog(s) while you are away.
Reviews
Prompt, professional, and easy going with our rambunctious pup. Highly recommend!
Baxter LOVES Duncan. Whether hiking on a mountain, playing fetch in the yard, or just getting good head scratches, Duncan knows how to relate to dogs. He's responsible and trustworthy, and we always know when we leave our dog with Duncan, he's not only well cared for but will also get tired out. In our experience, Duncan is a great fit for active dogs. He's able to walk, run, swim and hike Baxter to exhaustion. Duncan is proactive in taking care of Baxter's needs and we trust him in our home. For housesitting, he always follows a "leave no trace" ethic. He's neat and clean! We always feel confident traveling when Duncan has Baxter... he'll get the attention he deserves and we love that Duncan has learned all his quirks!

I have a fenced in backyard that is good enough some running around, a very walkable neighborhood, and live close proximity to walking trails if your dog requires more exercise.
Information Duncan B. would like to know about your pet
I have no breed preferences! Volunteering at Dakin has opened up my experiences to all different kinds of breed. From the tiniest of Chihuahuas to the largest of Pit Bulls.
A typical day
I enjoy taking dogs to green spaces so they can walk in grassy/ natural spaces. On weekends I enjoy hiking and would love to take your dog(s) to the trails with me. My profile photos is with a dog a frequently watch on top of Mount Mansfield in Vermont during a great evening of hiking.
