Dog Walkers in Shaftsbury, VT

“Mary was wonderful and extremely reliable. I really appreciated that she came and met with me and my dog before she started. She made my trip more enjoyable because I didn’t worry about my dog.”

“I lucked out when I found Ericca on Rover. My dog is not easy to walk. It takes strength and flexibility and some degree of wildness to keep up with Kona. But Ericca isn’t intimidated or dissuaded. She is the perfect combo of deep caring, responsible capability, and natural honesty. She drives my extremely lively Husky to safe outdoor places for walks just like she is me, allowing me to have a break or an intense workday without worrying that Kona needs a walk. Thank you kind and conscientious, strong and fearless Ericca!”

“Amazing! So good with our dog Kingsley. Kingsley gets sad on the days he doesn't get to visit with him! I've recommended David to my co-workers whenever they end up going out of town.”

“Evelyn is a wonderful and responsible walker and sitter and takes great care of my dog Freckles. She always spends a full 30 minutes with her (and often longer) and makes sure she has lots of love and attention while I’m away at work. When it’s very hot she pays special attention to Freckles’ comfort and will take her back inside to cool off if she needs it, but still makes sure the visit is the full length of time. I always receive detailed follow-up and adorable photos when the walk is done. Evelyn has had to deal with a couple accidents and has been gracious in cleaning them up before putting Freckles back in her crate. I (and Freckles) highly recommend Evelyn!”

“Davis is great! We have a very challenging rescue dog that has a lot of quirks and takes a lot of patience and she has been very accommodating through it all. Our pups are always well taken care of by Davis!”

About: I have two golden doodles who mean the world to me, but aside from my own pets i have made sure to surround myself with animals my whole life so far (I'm 27 currently) i grew up helping out friends and neighboors with animal care. to me pets are not just pets they are family. I love being outdoors going for walks myself so I take a great deal of pride being able to help someone with the joy in their life and incorporating it into what I already love to do. I currently work full time monday-Thursday with friday, saturday,and sunday off. I will be available any of those three days off for any service someone is requesting, and I am open to commuting aswell. I have two golden doodles who I treat them same as my closest and dearest friends/family. It would be no different with anyone else. One of my biggest beliefs is that respect and kindness speaks for itself and goes a long way so im very geared towards the needs, wants, requirements ect... that a client has or is requesting.

“Kailie was on time and absolutely wonderful with Basil. She love animals and it shows. Basil was very comfortable with Kailie. Definitely will be calling her back . I recommend her highly.”

She sent so many cute pictures and i came home to a happy and tired pup :) would absolutely book again and so happy we found her”

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I’ve been 16 years old. I watched for family, friends, and people in my town growing up. It was a great way to learn responsibility and the importance of caring for something. I have experience raising a litter of puppies recently. We worked on listening skills, potty training, and knowing boundaries in the yard. I am currently home with my baby caring for him, so I have a very available schedule. I am home all weekdays and weekends as well to offer care for your pets. My yard is fenced in, and there is a large area in the back of the property we live on where we go to play and run around that is not near the road at all. I’d have to leash dogs to walk them back there and then they’re safe to be off!

About: I have been taking care of animals for nearly a decade. I love the tiniest to the largest, indoor to outdoor. I will happily follow your routines and requests and care for your animals as if they were my own. I am the proud owners of four cats, two dogs, a lizard, and caged invertebrates. No animal too big or too small, I love them all. I build each day's routine around the jobs at hand, flexibility is my main attribute. I will go out of my way to follow your routine to keep your pet on schedule. I have one job that takes me away from the house that is a per diem, the full duration of which is only two and a half hours. I will do my best to make sure that if boarding your animal at my house I do not have that job coincide but if it does I have a safe spot to separate animals for that short period. I have a fenced in backyard and a large open concept house. I have the ability to separate your animal from my animals if that is requested. My personal animals are used to visitors, furry and human.

About: ive had a couple of dog growing up in my childhood a sweet old black lab and a super crazy dingo.. in my free time after school and during summer i used to walk them, no amount of walking could satisfy my dingo.. id have her pull my bike to get all her energy out since we didnt have any closed in areas she could run off in.. ( i dont do this anymore! i realize its not very safe! she absolutely loved it for sure though) i love pups big and small old and energetic theyre all very unique and id love some new friends to get me out of the house. id ask you beforehand of course if youd be okay with them swimming, theres a pond i can bring them to after walking to cool off at. our backyard is fenced! i have two cats, so id like to know how your dog reacts around small creatures, if they cant be in contact i can always but them into a room while the dog is over. most likely theyd be outside! lots of shade and id keep em well hydrated and happy :3 i currently have been on a job hunt since what feels like forever, my schedule is very. very open.. since i dont have a car, drop off would be ideal, if your close enough to walk to i can do that too! weekends are the only time id be able to pick up your pooch my cats get their waters filled and cleaned almost daily, lots of love of course and are very spoiled. i dont have any dogs at the moment, so of course id love to chat about what youd expect and need for your lovely pup! im good with communication and friendly, special needs id be extra attentive to. im very good at remembering small things, though id still write em down incase!

“Leah was great, I appreciated the conversations about Bessie and the pictures Bessie was having fun with her pet sitter..I will definitely request her again...”

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.

“Mark was great at walking our dog Leo and keeping him company while we were out on Lake George. He was very communicative and sent pictures showing us that Leo was happy hanging with a new friend. We look forward to booking with him again.”

About: I have spent the last 9 years walking and caring for dogs, and I truly believe that ample outdoor time and multiple daily walks are essential for their social and emotional well-being. I am excited about the opportunity to help take care of your beloved fur baby and provide them with the love and attention they deserve. I look forward to your consideration! I am currently working part time and going to college online, so I have ample time in the mornings to provide care for your furry friend. I am able to provide dog in the mornings during both the winter and the summer. Also, during the warmer months I provide cat walking services which is also amazing for your cats well being. I will unable to provide pet sitting services at my home as I have two cats that need space, but I am okay with taking care of your furry friend at your residence while you are away.

“Tim was great to work with. We were visiting Maine for vacation and needed our dog walked 2 of the days. Tim was accommodating and worked with our schedule. He sent pics of our pup during his visit which I appeared. I would totally recommend him!!”

About: I make every effort to make sure your pet feels safe and he or she has adequate nutrition and water. I don’t do this for the money. I am retired. Looking to fill days with animals and sunshine. I will be available Monday thru Friday. Possibly available weekends for certain dependable customers. I treat all pets like they are my own. Dogs and horses are very spiritual for me and fill my heart with love. Thank you
