Dog Walkers in New Haven, VT

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and fish for my friends and family. Last summer, I worked at a summer camp barn and helped to care for the horses and barn cat! After December 15th, I will be at home with no particular schedule. I can help out any time of the day any day of the week until January 10th. Then, in the summer months I will be free again to help. I can crate your dog if needed. I’m happy to put on any harness—my dog at home wears one for walks! I’m happy to administer medicine as well.

“Lorrie is warm, communicative, and eager to help. Highly recommend.”

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.

“Alison is so sweet and loving with my pup Riley. She was able to help with a last minute walk and met for a meet and greet beforehand. Riley can be reactive at times and Alison demonstrated her abilities to handle his behaviors. She was on time, took pictures, and updated me throughout her time with Riley. I'd definitely recommend her!!”

About: I've cared for pets of my own my whole life (40+ years) including cats, dogs, birds, rabbits and fish, and have been a go-to pet sitter for friends and family for many years. I have my own web design business and work from home with flexible hours, so am able to accommodate pet care visits and dog walks into my schedule as needed. For dog walks: I can pick up your dog(s) in my car and take them for adventure walks on nearby trails, or walk them in your neighborhood. Your preference. For cat/dog pet sitting: If you're planning to be away and need a trustworthy pet-sitter, I'm happy to help. I'll make sure your pets are fed just the way you would feed them. I'll clean your cat's litter box, play with your cat/dog, offer snuggles, and give medications as needed.

About: I have had pets my whole life. I currently have a small farm. I have chickens, ducks, turkies, pigs, dogs and cats. Alone with rabbits and guinea pigs. we are a very pet friendly area. Live in a wooded area on a dead end street. I currently work from home and have time for pet care. My youngest daughter is also in the home. Also have my granddaughter here on the weekends. she is 11. I will provide care in my home since I work from home this is the best for me at this time. I also have my 11 yr old granddaughter here on weekends.

About: In the last decade+ I've taken care of half a dozen dogs and nearly a dozen cats for friends and through word-of-mouth, including a very senior chihuahua who was blind and deaf and needed diapers changed. I always had cats and dogs around growing up, including two difficult dogs from shelters who had issues. I live with an energetic pit-lab mix, and my parents' three rescue cats are still my sweeties. In the past I volunteered at an animal shelter, helping to socialize cats and walk dogs. I hike every day if I can, so if your dog enjoys vigorous exercise on trails, I can provide that too! I'm an adjunct college professor and freelance writer, so my work is part-time or sporadic, with much of it being done at home. If I'm available, I'll have plenty of time to linger and give attention to your pets! I'll follow your lead on what situations you're comfortable with for your pet, in terms of where I bring your dog for a walk, how they interact with other animals and people, etc.

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!

“Can't say enough great things about Casey! They have been our dogs hype perao , which has made all the difference! We appreciate you Casey and cant recommend you enough!”

About: I don’t have professional experience, but ever since I was about 13 years old, I helped a lot with different family member’s dogs and cats; such as grooming, feeding, waking, and just spending time with them. I have personal experience with both puppies and senior dogs. I don’t have a very busy schedule right now, so I am available any day of the week that works best for you and your pets. Ways for I care for the pets in my home include playing with them with toys, petting them, walking them, feeding them with food and treats, and playing with them outside.

About: I have actively been taking care of dogs since I was a teenager, and in doing so I have worked with a variety of breeds, sizes, and dog of different ages. My manner of minding focuses on building a connection with the dog while uniquely understanding the breed and the specific needs they may need met. I'm very active and thus great with dogs who are looking to get in shape or have high energy levels. I have experience working with dogs who have been abused or neglected and re-socialising them. My home is large enough for multiple dogs of many sizes to be comfortable in as well as a short walk away from multiple parks. Both mornings as well nights are currently available Monday-Sunday.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my high standard of pet care and always always always acting with compassion. I've been passionate about the development of dogs since the age of 10 years old. I find importance in sharing good habits from the start, using positive reinforcement techniques to ensure a happy, well-behaved companion. Additionally, I provide attentive and gentle care for senior animals, (I currently have a family Border Collie at the age of 16) focusing on their unique needs and ensuring their comfort and well-being. I'm an excellent communicator, extremely reliable and take pride in any job I acquire. My background in raising dogs and senior care allows me to offer tailored, high-quality support for pets of all ages. I'm constantly outdoors, currently am taking time with my family and am looking forward to pet care almost any time of the week. Please let me know how I can help! When caring for pets in my home, I create a comfortable, pet-friendly environment tailored to each animal’s needs. My home is equipped with cozy sleeping areas, secure play zones, and a routine that includes regular feeding, exercise, and enrichment activities. I ensure that each pet feels safe and loved, providing personalized attention and care throughout their stay. When caring for pets in a client's home, I maintain their familiar routine to minimize stress. I offer detailed updates on their pet's activities and well-being, ensuring they are comfortable and engaged. My services include feeding, exercise, administering medications if needed, and maintaining their usual environment. I also take care of any specific requests or preferences the client has, ensuring their pet receives the best care possible while they are away.

“Bucky came back a happy pup! Lindie was very responsive and kept me informed about Bucky the whole time. Thanks!”

About: I’ve had dogs for my entire life! I’ve been dog ansitting for neighbors as well as family since I was 14. I am a total animal lover and look forward to being around them. I’m also a medical studying student for those who may need elderly dog or just general care. I’ve also been a house sitter for families in my general area for very long. I’m currently a student however I do not have classes MWF so I am available throughout those days! I also get out of class at 4 PM on TTH so I have evenings then. My weekends are typically always free. I also need to unwind under my classes so it’s perfect to find a hobby and job doing something I love to aid that! I do not have any dogs living with me in VT currently but I have a TON of play and yard space for dogs!! I am someone that will always be keeping a close eye. I’m very responsible and I pride myself on that!!

“Alex was wonderful!! She took our trio of dogs on off leash adventure walks each day, sending pictures of the pups along the way. I would definitely ask for her help in the future!”

About: I had 2 dogs growing up and plenty of pet sitting experience besides my own family dogs! I was always the number one person in my family willing to take our dogs on walks, play with them, and care for them in general. I have confidence with dogs of any amount of calm to crazy! I also currently have a cat and I love and feel comfortable with taking care of cats too! Mornings and afternoons are most ideal for me as I have another full time job at night 5 days out of the week. Days I have off from work, I can pet sit any amount of hours and at anytime! I cannot bring other pets into my apartment currently as I have a blind cat who is very sensitive to other animals so I can only pet sit at a client’s home unfortunately. But at your home I can guranteee to keep watch on your pet/pets at all times and make sure they are getting lots of playtime, checking their behavior to make sure they are feeling okay, and of course following all timed instructions for feeding, walking, and/or bathing, etc. :)

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, rabbits and birds my entire life. I grew up with mostly large dogs that required lots of exercise. I am no stranger to walking in the New England cold! I have a rotating schedule which allows me to provide services on both weekdays and weekends. I will work with anyone to schedule services far in advance. Every pet is unique. I am able to provide, walks, food, water, exercise and even medication! Whatever your pet needs, I can handle. Just ask!
