Dog Walkers in Montpelier, VT

“Amber was the friendliest and most reliable sitter for my 1-1/2 year old Malinois/German Shepard mix. She is truly a dog lover! Aura is a timid rescue pup. Amber’s gentle and calming personality contributed to my dog feeling enough at ease to venture out for sixteen hour long walks. It was such a relief to know that my fur baby was in caring, capable hands while I recovered from surgery. Amber, thank you for being a shining star when I needed canine help and support!!!”

“Brody and Mallory did a great job walking our dog. They're very prompt, quick to resond to messages, and took pictures during the visit. We'll definitely book them again!”

“Lauryn was fantastic. We were visiting in the area and needed someone to walk our dogs while we were out running around. She came to the campground and walked our dogs. Communication with her was great! She came and visited the day before we started so we could meet her and she could meet us and our dogs. I can't say enough good things about her. She was awesome and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable person.”

About: I have never met an animal I did not love. My mom likes to say that I’ve always loved animals. She remembers me trying to jump out of her arms, before I could even walk, in order to pet a nearby dog. I am a 32 years old and originally from Minnesota. I grew up taking care of a miniature schnauzer named Oreo, who was a wonderful family companion. I had a pet ferret for 6 years named Swarley, who I alone cared for. I have cared for friends and previous roommate’s dogs, fish, cats, rabbits, and rats. I’ve also cared for all kinds of reptiles and amphibians when working at nature centers for 3 years. I have also cared for a neighbors goats and am comfortable around farm animals. I now have a super sweet 8 year old rescue dog named Primrose. If I am lucky enough to get to care for your pet, I will give all of my attention to them and provide the very best care possible. I hope to hear from you soon! I can work around your schedule. Let me know what works best for you! I only need 1 days notice and accept day-of cancellations. I hope we can work together to get your pets what care they need! I am careful to make sure sneaky pets are unable to escape when I come in and out of doors. I always put a leash and collar on any pet before taking them outdoors. I'm used to and meticulous about keeping medications and food out of reach for pets. I am highly engaged with the pets I am watching and observe for any small signs of stress or health issues. I would call you immediately if I noticed something was wrong or off with your pet and I am totally willing to call your veterinarian or take them to an emergency veterinarian, if ever necessary. I can administer medications and make special diets, if requested.

“Amanda is very reliable and did a great job!”

“Sarah is a reliable, patient, friendly person. She accommodated Ms N’s habits such that their walks together were productive and easy for my senior dog who prefers to walk slowly and likes to stop for awhile at places of interest. Thanks, Sarah!”

“Molly was so lovely to have as a dog walker for both of our dogs! They were so happy and she sent the best pictures of the dogs. We are very fortunate that she lives in the neighborhood and knows all of the streets really well, and she is definitely on our short list for dog walkers!”

About: Need me to jog around the block with your blonde lab Molly? Play in the sand or snow with your doodle dog? Tug of war with your tank named Hank? Referee a Dutch Shepherd & the neighborhood cats? I’m the Doug ya need. From an 85 pound Dutch Shepherd named Phillip J Fry to a 10-pound tuxedo cat named for the Egyptian Dog God Anubis, I’ve had my share of furkids to spoil, train, & love on. If you want someone to go the extra mile, who’s willing to get on the floor for hardcore play time, someone who’ll have fun with your pets & send you too many photos of ‘em, that’s me. :) When not caring for a client's pup or kitty (or pig, chicken or bunny!!), I'm often found jogging around the Vermont State House grounds with Pokemon Go in one hand & a Chocolate Poodle in another. Leaving a place cleaner than when I got there is a rule of thumb whether that means picking up litter with my old mother in law while walking our old Dutch Shepherd or when in my client’s home. It’s a lot to trust someone in your space. When they’re staying over or using the kitchen, that’s even more the case. While we pet lovers are all good people, some of us are better at following “good home training” rules of thumb than others! I make sure to read the instructions, screenshot & photograph them so I have them handy to look back at with questions & I will always communicate if there is anything I need to know that’s not listed.

“Shannon is fantastic! She walked our very rambunctious dog every day for almost three weeks while I recovered from an injury. Shannon is prompt, reliable, and communicative. She took our dog on vigorous hour-long walks that left the pup snoozing and calm the rest of the day. The dog is already hoping I'll re-injure myself so she can see Shannon again. I will definitely turn to Shannon again for dog walking!”

“Stoph did a great job and went through the trouble of putting boots on my dog every day to keep him as comfortable as possible during a really bad cold spell.”

“Colby did great with our Basset Hound, Muffin. They both seemed to enjoy each other immediately. They went for a nice walk, and Muffin offered Colby many kisses afterwards as a thank you. Colby seemed to handle Muffin's little antics quite well, and they parted as new friends. Thank you, Colby!”

“Marissa helped out with some dog walking for me while I was away. She was excellent with my pup and flexible with my schedule and coordinated with my housesitter which was much appreciated. Recommended!”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and love meeting new ones. I currently have an elderly dog who doesn’t get around as easy as she used to. I’m looking to get some walks and playtime in with some more pups. I currently have a flexible schedule and work from home. This allows me to accommodate the needs of dog and pet owners. I’m an active person so multiple walks a week work great for me! I am a respectful and professional lover of animals of all kinds. I will treat your home and pets as if they were my own.

“Sarah has been great, responsive and reliable! She brings with sweet dog over to play with my puppy and it’s been really nice to break up the day while I’m at work! Will continue to hire Sarah as long as I can”

About: I truly enjoy the opportunity to care for dogs of all ages and of all types. It’s not just a source of income, but something I truly enjoy. I frequently dog and house sit for family and friends, and look forward to doing the same for you. I currently have open availability to dedicate to taking care of your pups. I am happy to check in on them, take them for walks, make sure they are fed, provide overnight pet sitting (at your home). I had a pup of my own for fourteen years, but don’t have one at the moment. I look forward to the opportunity! I am available to walk, feed, and pet sit at your home. Long walks for exercise, spending time to be sure they are comfortable, whatever is required. I unfortunately do not have boarding at my home as the building I’ve lived in for nearly twenty years is designated a “historical landmark” and pets are prohibited.

About: Looking for a reliable pet sitter? Whether you need me for a weekend trip or extended care, I provide a safe, loving environment for your pets while you’re away. Give me a call to chat—I’d love to learn more about your furry (or feathered, or scaly!) family. Why Choose Me? Beyond providing the basics—feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddles—I bring years of hands-on experience with animals of all kinds. Some things you can expect when your pet stays with me: ✔ Attentive, Reliable Care – I follow your pet’s routine to keep them happy and stress-free. ✔ Regular Updates – Want photos or messages while you’re away? Just ask! ✔ Comfortable for All Pets – From energetic puppies to senior pets, I adapt to their needs. ✔ Experienced with Special Care – If your pet has medications, dietary needs, or mobility issues, I’m happy to accommodate. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, small animals, birds, reptiles, fish, and even farm animals like horses, cows, and chickens! A Little About Me Animals have always been at the heart of my life. I grew up around horses and farm animals, spent time volunteering with shelters, and have fostered and rehabilitated animals in need. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s who I am. I take their happiness and well-being as seriously as my own, whether that means preparing fresh meals, making sure they stick to their routine, or just giving them lots of love and attention. When I’m not with animals, you can usually find me out in nature, making art, gardening, or learning new skills in bushcraft, herbalism, and homesteading. I work from home, so I’m available throughout the day to provide care, attention, and companionship. My flexible schedule allows me to stick to your pet’s routine. I follow each pet’s routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I respect your home, keeping it clean, secure, and just as you left it.

About: When I was growing up my family always had dogs and cats. I have two dogs of my own (I have a senior shepherd mix and a 1.5 year old lab mix) as well as a cat. I work with middle school students during the school year and would love to spend my summer taking care of animals. My dogs are my priority so I can’t commit to overnights but with my days free this summer I would love to do some dog walking, house sitting and cat sitting. I work full-time during the school year but I have the summers off with plenty of free time to spend cuddling with some cats. I’d love to do dog sitting as well but am not sure I can commit to overnights as I have my own two dogs at home who need me but I’m open for daily support such as walks or feeding during the owners’ work hours. My dogs use a long lead out back and aren’t left unsupervised for long. When my cat was alive he had his own separate space away from the dogs as well as easier access to food, water and litter as he was arthritic.

“Giuliana was wonderful with our dog Pip! Very communicative and took great care of our senior dog. Took her on a wonderful hour long walk and she was very happy when we got home. Definitely recommend!”

“We were on a trip and wanted to go skiing one day, but not leave our pup all day alone. We met with Holly to make the initial introduction and she was so kind and warm. Her energy is lovely and she clearly is patient with dogs, letting them warm up to her on their terms. She wrote a really nice rover card, giving us a thorough review of her time with our dog Bobbi! Thank you so much Holly! We really appreciate your help and time.”

About: I’ve been dog sitting since I was about 11 years old — it started with neighbors, family friends, and anyone who needed a hand, and it quickly became something I truly love. Being around dogs has always come naturally to me. I’m patient, calm, playful, and super intuitive with animals, especially dogs of all kinds. I treat every dog like they’re my own, and I make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while their people are away. Over the years, I’ve built real trust with the people I’ve worked with. They know their dogs are in good hands with me — whether it’s for a quick walk or a whole weekend. I’ve looked after energetic puppies, shy rescues, older dogs needing meds, and everything in between. This isn’t just something I do — it’s something I genuinely care about. I currently go to barber school from 8:30-5 on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. If you need a little check in or letting your dog out after that on those days I would definitely do that! Other than that I am open 6-11pm on every other day unless I have something else going on. If you ever need to know just always reach out if needed! I live in an apartment complex but I usually let me dogs free inside and if they need it I usually bring them to the dog park to get all that playfulness out. I am very attentive so your dog will never be left alone! I have 2 dogs medium size and one likes to relax while the other loves to play but she knows her limits, if the other dog does not like it she does stop.
