“Very flexible and made Maylene smile”
“We are so happy with Casey. She’s on time, she communicates very well, and she leaves detailed descriptions of her walks with Maple! Maple loves her!!”
“I love Lisa! She's so good with Maxx, very punctual, reliable, and caring. Maxx is not great with strangers, but he has taken to her very well and will get more attached to her as time goes by. He'll even be waiting for her at the door in no time. She is definitely the right person for us.”
About: Hello! My name is Jenal, and I have 30 years of experience. I have grown up with breeds such as German Shepherds, Huskies, Retrievers, and Labs. Currently, I have a lovable Labradoodle and a dog that is an unknown mix, both of which are lovable and playful. Although I work during the day, I'd like to play with your dog throughout the day, at night, during the week, and on the weekends. I am looking to help with your dog while you are at work, on a date night, or out of town. I live in Milton but am willing to travel in Chittenden County and some of the Franklin County Area. I work full time during the week with the ability to flex my schedule. I am able to stop by on my way to work, pop in some time during the day, again after work and before bed time. During the weekends, my days are fairly open which allows for more flexibility. Safety and trust are very important. I would follow the expectations and maintain the routines of the owners. Therefore, this will look different in every household.
“Ben did a great job with our dog. Walked him a good distance and played with him, was friendly and straight forward to work with. Would book again!”
“Nan has great intuition with my Aussie! And she doesn’t let Kitty feel left out either. She is excellent at picking up on my pup’s preferences (like walking in the shade on hot days or taking a familiar path) and she took great photos of my smiling dog!”
About: I've taken care my my friends and family's fur babies since I was 15, they've relied on my for daily drop in visits, feedings, walkings, and pets I work from 1:30pm until 10:30pm so I can offer my services from 6am to 11am and possibly 1 night time visit after 10:30pm most days When caring for your beloved pets in the comfort of your home, I prioritize their well-being, safety, and happiness as if they were my own.
About: I’ve cared for a playful Pomeranian and two energetic huskies over the years, giving me hands-on experience with a range of dog temperaments and energy levels. I’m very familiar with the needs of high-shedding breeds and know how important daily exercise, mental stimulation, and consistent routines are—especially for active dogs like huskies. Whether it’s a quick walk or extended playtime, I’m committed to giving each dog the care and attention they deserve. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available for walks and drop-in visits at any time of day, including early mornings and late evenings. I’m also happy to accommodate extra-long stays for pets who need a little extra attention—whether that means a calming brush-out, a bath, or just some extended one-on-one time. Whatever your pet needs, I’m here to help and happy to make their day a little brighter! All of my pet care services take place in the client’s home, as I’m currently unable to host animals in my apartment. This allows your pet to stay comfortable and stress-free in their familiar environment, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’ll treat your home and your pet with the utmost respect and care.
About: I’ve had dogs that both lived over 15 healthy years plus sitting .I’m dependable, cautious about their safety and respond quickly. I’m respectful and flexible. I work part time as a caregiver and have a flexible schedule. I’m reliable, mature and will be attentive. As well as reachable when needed. I’m careful about your pets safety as well as a feeding schedule. I’m cautious regarding heat and ice and keep their environment clean and tidy.
About: While I don't have any special training with animals, I like to listen to what the owner and the animal needs for care. I genuinely love hanging out with them. I love how excited dogs get when I walk into a house, or how free they feel and excited they are for a walk. Or when cats rub up against you and love getting pets. Pets are like people, they're all unique and have their own personality and needs. That's what makes pets awesome, how different they all are. I'm currently working a few hours each week from home, so I have plenty of free time to hang out with pups, or kitties, or take dogs for a much need walk or bathroom break. Well that depends on the animal, because each pet is different. how comfortable they are with me, how many times do I need to be introduced to them, how the owner would like me to care for them. Theres a lot of factors that come into play, so I am willing to do what the owner would like to be done for their own pet.
“Thanks so much!!!”

About: 🐾 Hi, I’m Daniel — a lifelong animal lover and reliable sitter based in Plattsburgh, NY. Over the years, I’ve cared for six dogs of my own and have regularly walked and dog-sat for friends, neighbors, and local clients. Whether it’s a brisk walk, some much-needed playtime, or a cozy companion while you're away, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m a 26 year old creative/entrepreneur focused on my growth but pet care is something I’ve always enjoyed, taken seriously, and do as a side hustle. My schedule is flexible, especially on holidays, and I’ll do everything I can to accommodate your pet’s needs and routine. I understand pets can get nervous when their humans are away. That’s no problem — I’m calm, patient, and focused on making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you're gone. If you ever have questions, I’m always just a message away! 🗓️ My hours are flexible! I currently work part-time at a restaurant in Plattsburgh but when the day winds down, I'm a self employed musician/entrepreneur. Don't hesitate to reach out with the dates and times you need cause I'm sure I can fit your furry friend into my week! 🏡 Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I make sure they’re well exercised, fed, and relaxed — whether we’re out for a walk or just hanging out. I’m gentle but confident when working with animals and understand that each one has their own unique needs and behaviors. I’m here to make them feel at home, even when they’re not.
“Even though she had a busy schedule, Julia was able to accommodate my girls schedule for a walk (through some crazy weather too). Def would book Julia again to take care of my two senior girls.”
About: I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science with a canine concentration, where I trained dogs in obedience, agility, Therapy Dog skills, and Canine Good Citizen preparation. I also earned a Master’s degree in Animal Science with a focus on nutrition and welfare from Cornell University. Currently, I work as a canine caretaker for the government and am an AKC-certified Canine Good Citizen evaluator. Throughout my career, I’ve worked and volunteered in a variety of animal care settings, including animal shelters, boarding facilities, dog walking services, barns, and emergency veterinary hospitals. These experiences have given me extensive hands-on experience with both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments—including seniors, rescues, and those with medical or behavioral needs. My dog care background includes structured training, physical and mental enrichment, medication administration, and supporting behavior modification programs. I understand that every dog has their own personality, history, and sensitivities, and I approach each one with patience, empathy, and a commitment to positive, individualized care. I also have a strong foundation in cat care. I currently have a rescued cat of my own, and have fostered a 6-week-old kitten, providing around-the-clock attention and support during critical development. In my time working in emergency vet hospitals, I regularly handled cats for exams, administered medications, and assisted vet techs with bloodwork and procedures. I’ve also cared for cats in shelters and boarding facilities, gaining experience in feline behavior, enrichment, and stress-reduction techniques. I’m passionate about providing the highest quality care and comfort to every animal I work with. When I have extra time, I continue to train dogs on the side and am currently pursuing certifications and volunteer work in animal response and search & rescue, with the goal of helping animals affected by natural disasters. Whether your pet is energetic or easygoing, highly trained or just learning, I’m here to ensure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. While my work schedule rotates, I’m available every workday until 2 PM and after midnight, with every other Friday through Monday completely free. I have reliable transportation and am flexible in meeting your pet’s unique needs. I provide a calm, structured environment with plenty of mental and physical stimulation tailored to your pet’s needs. My home includes an unfenced backyard, so I always supervise outdoor time closely. I have an extra crate available for dogs who are crate-trained or need a secure resting space. Your pet will get bathroom breaks and walks before and after my work shifts, and as often as needed on my days off. I’m also happy to go on hikes or explore new areas with your pup—if you’re comfortable with that level of adventure! With a background in animal science and dog training, I can offer helpful training tips or reinforce your current routine. I approach every animal with care, patience, and respect for their individual personality and boundaries. Whether your pet needs structure, exercise, or just a cozy place to feel safe, I’ll make sure they’re cared for like family.

Nan is the absolute best! She has been walking my boy, Hudson, for the past 4, almost 5 months. You can tell she truly does love this job and all of her furry friends! Hudson is so excited in Tuesdays and Thursdays when he gets to see Nan! She is so accomdating and will work with my at times hectic schedule. I would recommend Nan to anyone looking for a dog walker. We love you Nan! ❤️ Amy & Hudson 🐾
Nan is just wonderful and friendly, she's only walked my Hudson 2 times but I know both of us are truly lucky to have her. She truly cares for your animals and does not view this as a job. She also cleaned his food bowls - totally unexpected but much appreciated! I am looking forward to Nan becoming a part of my little pup's routine. I can't thank you enough Nan! 🙂
