Dog Walking Rutland

“Kaila did an amazing job taking care of Luna! She was reliable, communicative, and made sure Luna was well cared for throughout the booking. I really appreciated the updates and the attention she gave to my dog. I felt comfortable knowing Luna was in good hands. I would definitely book with Kaila again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker. Thank you so much! 🐾”

About: I've worked in animal care for several years, starting at a dog boarding and daycare facility where I spent six years. I began as a kennel technician and worked my way up to general manager, gaining extensive experience caring for dogs with a wide range of personalities, behaviors, and medical needs. I'm currently pursuing a long-term goal of becoming a veterinary technician. In my free time, I foster animals for a local rescue that I'm passionate about. I take pride in using fear-free handling techniques, understanding animal body language, working through behavioral challenges, and providing compassionate care for medically compromised pets. While I'm relatively new to Rover, I've been caring for pets in my home for years. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving their owners peace of mind. I'll treat your pets like they're my own and will keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay. I work full-time as a veterinary assistant at a local animal hospital. I have at least two days off each week and work a half day on Wednesdays. While I am away during part of the day, I come home every day during my hour lunch break to let your baby out for a potty break, playtime, and some extra love and attention. In the evenings, I enjoy taking dogs for walks (weather permitting) and spending quality time with them. When I have pets in my care, I plan my schedule around their needs. I avoid making additional plans so I can provide plenty of one-on-one attention, playtime, cuddles, and consistency with their normal routine. I do provide care in your home, with the same schedule/availability. Such as; going to your home on my break to care for the pet(s), only sitting for one family at a time, walks, etc. My goal is to make your pet feel as comfortable, loved, and at home as possible while you're away. I have a fully fenced backyard. I also have a pool that is currently being fenced for added safety. My philosophy is simple: pets are never left unattended outside. If your pet is crate-trained or simply feels more comfortable in a crate, I have plenty of space to set one up for daytime or overnight use. I only care for one client's pet(s) at a time to provide the safest environment and plenty of one-on-one attention. I have a designated "dog cabinet" stocked with essentials like pill pockets, peanut butter, and ability to keep any medications your pet may need during their stay. If your pet rides in my vehicle, I use a pet seat belt to help keep them secure during travel. I ask that owners provide a properly fitted harness or collar and leash. If you're unable to do so, I have extras available (with your permission) to safely transfer your pet to and from my home and for walks. I do my best to maintain your pet's normal feeding schedule, so I appreciate detailed instructions regarding meals, treats, and any special preferences. I also always ask about food sensitivities, allergies, or other dietary needs to ensure your pet stays happy and healthy. These apply to in your home as well.

“Just absolutely the best!!!! Gus loves to see her and she really has just gone above and beyond for us!!!”

About: Pets have been apart of my family all my life. From newborns, strays, friends pets, to crossing the rainbow, I've done it all with love and care. As a full time mom of teens that don't require a much of my time anymore. That leaves me free to take care of your "kids" and give them the attention, affectation and care they need and deserve. I'm available to visit or stay over in yr home. I'm very dependable, trustworthy and sweet spirited. I love making new friends of all kinds (people dogs, cats ,& more) and being a blessing to others.

About: I was raised with cats and dogs my whole life. We have had our fur baby since he was 6 weeks old and he is now 4 years old. His name is Chunk. He loves children, animals his best friend is Baxter he is 12 years old and he is a Schnauzer. I have had a cleaning business for a little over 10 years and even tho is was not apart of my job I started falling in love with my customers babies. I will love on them, take them out to potty, give them fresh water and treats and clean up any messes they have made and then I decided to start offering to take care of them for the customers if they needed a sitter. So I take care of both cats and dogs. I never knew that I could love these babies as much as I love my family, I consider all the fur babies my family. My Chunk Chunk is my very best friend. I am his person. I potty trained him, I taught him to sit, shake, lay, and when I use the word calm if he gets super excited then he will automatically sit and behave. He is very playful with other animals. He has never been aggressive or biten anyone bc all he has ever known is love. If you choose me to take care of your babies know that I will take care of them and love them as if they were my own children. We are animal lovers and would love to meet and have more fur babies in out lives. I clean houses part time. So I am very flexible when it comes to your babies routine. When I speak with the customer I always like for the customer to write a list of the babies daily routine and then I have a filing system set up with all your babies information so we make sure everything is done when it supposed to be and then I set a reminder and a timer for breakfast time, lunch time, dinner time, snack time, and if medication is needed as well. I am super ocd so I have a folder for every baby to keep records of everything. If your baby is at my home we live in a 3 bedroom apartment they are free to run around anywhere and they are allowed on the couch and the bed. Alot of times we sit on the couch or floor with them and watch TV and get the puppy toys out and let them play. We take the puppies out multiple times a day to go potty or to go walk and let them play outside. If I watch them at your home I do like a list of instructions and what they're normal routine is so I can keep them comfortable and happy and I want them to feel safe with me. I like to learn they're personalities so I can learn who they are, what they like and what they don't like. I am one who loves to hold them alot and pet them.

“Rachel went above and beyond during her walks with Pippin. She was always on time, sent great photos and provided a detailed note. She took Pippin on nice long walks which I really appreciated! I will definitely be using her again in the future.”

About: I have over 10 yrs of experience with dogs. I specialize in older dogs and training out bad behavior. I'm comfortable giving medications. Cats too I am very flexible as your pet is my #1 concern. I have relocated my pet business to FL from CA, where I have had 10 years of experience caring for high profile clients and their fur babies. I look forward to taking your dogs to the dog parks and other activities that are agreed upon with the owner. I live in an area with multiple dog parks for both large and small breed dogs.

About: Dogs have been at the center of my world for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family fostered rescue dogs, which taught me how to connect with, comfort, and care for dogs of all temperaments and backgrounds. Today, I am the proud owner of two dogs that I have raised and trained since they were puppies. I know firsthand the dedication it takes to keep a dog healthy, well-behaved, and thriving. Your dog’s health and happiness are my absolute top priorities. I treat every dog in my care with the same love and attentiveness that I give my own. Because I believe a happy dog is an active dog, my visits focus on physical exercise and mental stimulation. I work a full-time, hybrid schedule in law enforcement with standard hours from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM. I work from my home office almost the entire month, meaning I am present all day to provide companionship, frequent potty breaks, and a highly structured routine for your pet. I am only required to go into the physical office about 3 days per month. On those specific days, I am still fully available for early morning and evening care, though any pets boarding with me would need to be comfortable being left alone during my core office hours. My schedule is very flexible. Having pets and working with them my whole life I understand how important routines are. I respect the pet's normal feeding, medication, and exercise schedule precisely as requested. I keep client’s homes clean, tidy, and secure, just how I found it. I send regular photo and video messages so pet parents feel relaxed while they are away.

About: I have had dogs all my life. I have potty trained numerous puppies and have taken care of my own and friends for 20 plus years. I have given medication for allergies and diabetes. Since retiring pet sitting is enjoyable to me especially since I dedicate all my time to giving attention and care to all kinds. I mostly prefer dogs and cats though I did grow up with horses and rode all during my youth. So horses is also a plus for me. I would love the opportunity to take care of your fur babies. I am retired and have a lot of time on my hands and what better way then to play with fur babies. I have had a dog inside of the home since I was 2. At this time I cannot board dogs due to my dogs. They are in an underground fence system which gives them run of the front and back yard if my home.
