Dog Walkers in Saxtons River, VT

“We love Elias!!! He has the knowledge and understanding that all animals are different and knows how to cater to different needs. I know I have nothing to worry about when I'm at work while Elias takes my dog on their off-leash trail hikes! He is very communicative and quick to respond when needed. Both my dog and I are SO happy to have Elias's help every week!”

“Christine was great! Very communicative and kind. I would trust her with my dogs anytime and look forward to having her walk them again. Thank you!”

About: I'm used to big dogs, even slightly aggressive or unruly dogs, well-behaved as well as meek dogs. They all need exercise! 20 years ago I trained over the winter season with an accomplished sled dog team and completed a 30-mile sled dog race. I also have experience raising our Australian Cattle Dog from 9 weeks. ACDs are little velociraptors, but we got through it and she's now a well-behaved adult. I currently have a fairly open schedule. I work in dog walking around my own regular dog walking, running, going to the gym and home tasks and chores. Monday - Saturday are my available days, my Sundays are mostly full. I'll come to your home and walk your dog in your neighborhood if you prefer, but my favorite activity is walking dogs on local trails in the woods and hills. We'll talk about what your dog is up for, and if you're unsure, we can start with easy hikes. For drop-in visits I'll ask you about your dog and what your expectations are and any special needs or instructions, and I'll take it from there.

“Emily is so great with our dog Ruby. Ruby is so excited when Emily comes over for walks and I think it really helps break up her day. Emily has been really easy to work with and knows how to handle dogs, we would definitely recommend her to others. Thanks!”

“Kimberly was awesome. She showed up in time (Even 5 minutes earlier) and she made sure to do everything that she could for my dog. Will definitely contact her again.”

Christie N.

“Emily was great. She followed all the instructions, including giving my dog the medication, and sent me updates with photos. I will be requesting her again in the future.”

“Christine has been great with our puppy. She is patient and Kind!!”

About: We are a young, active couple that recently lost our dog after over ten years together. We have experience with puppies and seniors. While we aren't professional trainers, we have plenty of experience training our own dogs. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on us to pet-sit, walk, and train their animals. I grew up with a dog and my wife grew up with dogs and sheep. We currently have a small flock of hens as well. Our home is pet friendly, but we do not allow animals on the furniture. We don't have a fenced yard, but we live on over 30 acres, on a dirt road with minimal traffic, and in close proximity to miles of hiking trails. I work a 9a-5p job Monday - Friday, but only about 2 miles from home so I can easily run home during the day. My wife is self-employed and is more flexible with her schedule and works out of the house. Our home is pet friendly but we don't allow animals on the furniture. We have multiple large, comfortable dog beds, pillows, toys, water and food dishes, etc. We are loving and attentive. We enjoy being outdoors as much as possible, so walks, hikes, fetch, etc. is no issue. We miss having our own pup but aren't ready to adopt again, so we would love to spend some time with your animals!

“Brandy is now my Rover person of choice. She was early to pick up Sophie; gave her a fun yet rigorous workout. And, when she came back, Brandy ensured her paws were clean so she didn't track mud into the house. Sophie adores her as do we. She's the best.”

“Amelia has been walking Lola once or twice a week, and we’ve had a great experience. She’s reliable, always shows up on time, and communicates clearly. She’s attentive and gentle with Lola, and it’s clear that she cares about doing a good job. Lola seems to really enjoy her walks with Amelia, and it’s a relief to know she’s in good hands. We appreciate Amelia’s consistency and would definitely recommend her to others looking for a dependable dog walker.”

About: I have lived with several dogs a hound mins now who is 5 and had a chocolate lab for 14 years, a small chihuahua Dockson mix, a blue nose pitbull for a year when her father was deployed (a marine officer) .... we ran allot! and golden retrievers. Absolutely love dogs and walking/running & playing with them till they are satisfied and if they are lazy I’ll hangout and relax also! Not afraid to clean up after pups! Beggars, players, and cuddle bugs all welcome. I won’t feed your pet any dangerous food and will follow you directions to keep everything consistent easy and simple for you! I love all animals so if you have others it’s okay with me! I also have a yard and a truck if transportation is needed. Your animals are in good hands! Pet care is my priority in my daily routine, waking up for morning walks before it’s too hot and doing food routines. Providing supplements or medication as needed as well. I will drive to parks and dog parks or walk to dog parks & parks if reasonable. Belly rubs, butt scratches, ear rubs are all standard! Really flexible in terms of your pets routine so let me know what’s needed and I can accommodate.

“Kaeleen is great. We would definitely recommend her to anyone.”

About: I’ve sat my family’s and friends’ pets for years and also take care of my own. I’ve dealt with reactive dogs, nervous dogs, hyper dogs, as well as many different personalities of cats. I’m comfortable with small pets as well. I’m currently working full-time at a vet clinic but have early morning, evening, and weekend availability. I prioritize the care of furry friends over anything else and strive to keep them active and happy. I’m comfortable with caring for all personalities; from reactive dogs to silly hyperactive dogs, as well as feisty kitties. I currently work as a Vet Assistant and previously worked as a daycare attendant, so I am familiar with appropriate discipline.

About: Are you looking to go out of town for the weekend or for a weeks vacation, but don't want to stress your pet(s) by boarding them? I would be happy to come care for your furry friends at your home, and am comfortable doing overnight stays. I am very comfortable around all dog breeds and sizes. Have a cat or other family pet that needs care as well? No problem! I'm open to caring for animals other than dogs, too, and would love the opportunity to discuss caring for your pets further. Growing up my family always had dogs and cats around, and we also raised 7 dogs for Guiding Eyes for the Blind. For the past 5 years I've been pet/house sitting for others as a way to spend additional time around animals, and provide families with an alternative to boarding. I am licensed, insured, and bonded, as well as pet CPR/First Aid certified. I have exceptional references, and would be happy to provide those upon request. Thank you for your time and consideration, and I look forward to hearing from you!

“Molly was great. Our dog loved walking with her and was super happy. She is also prompt, professional and easy to schedule. We highly recommend her!”

About: I have grown up with dogs since the moment I was brought home. I absolutely love all types of dogs! I have grown up with 5 dogs in my life and currently own my own. I have always been responsible for the care of our family dogs which helped me prepare to get my own recently. I have also volunteered at shelters so I know the proper care needed. I currently work at a dog shelter and dog training facility as well :)! I have experience with puppies as young as 3 months to dogs as old as 16! I’m incredibly excited to start working and will love and care for your dog as much as I do my own!! I’m available for boarding most days, walks depend on the time with my full time schedule! I start mornings with play time outside in our yard and do about 2-3 walks a day as well. I have a partially fenced in yard and a dog friendly pup to keep yours company. Pets will rarely ever be left alone nor will any dogs be left alone together.
