Your dog will be part of our family

Pet care experience

We took a break from Rover.com while we moved to Vermont and got settled in. Kate is now available in the Bennington, VT area to walk your dog or drop in and play with your pup for a bit while you're away from home. We're also open to some doggy day care at our home, under Kate's care, depending on the breed and how your pup gets along with our extremely friendly corgi, Izzy. Kate and Jenn have been hosting dogs for friends when they go on vacation for years. The dogs love coming here and we love having them! We have an energetic Cardigan Welsh Corgi named Izzy who is 18 months old and super friendly and gets along with everyone. In the last five years, we cared for two post-surgery corgis. One who had disc surgery stayed with us for eight weeks. He was paralyzed when he arrived three days after surgery. We provided all his medical needs and physical therapy. He walked out of the house on his own when he was ready to go home! The second had knee surgery and I went to his house to administer medication, potty time, and cuddles during the day. Kate spent a few years assisting in showing Borzoi. We're comfortable with many breeds and understand the personality differences between breeds. We can't wait to meet your furbaby!

Kathie is amazing! We feel so comfortable leaving our girl Maggie with her, we know she gets lots of great attention and special care. Kathie provided updates daily so we knew how Maggie was adjusting in the new setting. Thanks for taking such great care of Maggie.

Kathie and Jennifer were so good with Lucy. She is a high-strung dog, but was totally relaxed when we returned. It was great to leave Lucy with someone who understood her, enjoyed her, and took such good care of her!

Information Kate W. would like to know about your pet

Please let us know if your dog has anxiety issues, is a perpetual barker, or has aggression issues with other dogs or people. We're comfortable with dogs up to about 60 pounds. Bigger dogs may be okay depending on the dog. If you have two dogs in your family we can care for both of them while you're away! We definitely have a soft spot for corgis.

A typical day

Your dog will enjoy playing ball and chasing squirrels in our large, fully-fenced, pesticide-free backyard as well as going for walks around the neighborhood to check his or her pee-mail. Your dog will be part of our family during his or her stay including lots of cuddles, hanging out in the yard and lounging in the evening.
