Dog Walkers in Shaftsbury, VT

“We have a rescue dog who typically takes a while to warm up to people, but not with Davis. She was patient and followed our instructions and our dog took to her quickly. Davis has been communicative and has followed up to clarify instructions. She also did great handling our 9-month old lab puppy.”

About: I grew up in a family that breed German Shepherds, and my Dad still breeds them for military services as well as public service companions. I have 11 years experience in breeding Golden Retrievers, as well as training them. I have retired from breeding and am interested in helping my community with their pet care needs. I am available throughout the day and week. Helping people in my community with their pet needs fits into my routine. I have flexibility in my life to help care for your fur babies. I care for my pets everyday needs by feeding them food and giving them water. Letting them outside to go to the bathroom. And spending quality time with them. Throwing the ball. Playing with toys. Snuggling. Taking walks. Going on car rides. Meeting new friends.

About: I will take extra care to make sure your pet is happy, safe, and cared for. I had a pit bull for 15 years and she was a very happy, well-trained dog! I will talk to your pet. I will feed your pet. I will keep your pet safe. Most importantly, I will follow your guidelines when it comes to your pet. I have a strong arm for big, strong dogs. I have a keen eye for tiny dogs. I'm very comfortable with all breeds of dogs, and even cats! There are no allergies or children at my house. If I'm taking care of your pet, I am not using my time for anything else but your pet. After all, pets are like children. They need close attention. I'm currently self employed, so I can choose when I'm working and what I'm doing whether it's doordashing or pet sitting! Your pet will be in good hands. I have an unfenced yard, so I will take your dog out on a leash or take them to the dog park to run if you like!

“Nicky is a wonderful dog walker (she loves her hikes especially) and an excellent caregiver! She has rehabilitated many animals over the years and has spent her life with dogs, cats, plants, farm animals, you name it. She has even worked in bee keeping and really understands the patience and love that animals need to thrive. She loves to learn more and help teach and she does it all while having a fun time with the pups :)”

About: Hello! Thank you for your interest! I have Miki, who is a senior yellow Labrador Retriever with Cushing's Disease, that I've been taking care of for 13+ years now. And before him, I had Sam, also a yellow Labrador. I'm available to care for your dog and to administer medication if need be. I have a large unfenced property so there's plenty of room for your pooch to roam! I'm available for walks, rides, and doggie daycare. Miki is always with me when I go for rides...he wouldn't have it any other way! I will make sure your dog has enough activity to keep them happy. I'm a freelance artist so I'm home most of the time, except for when I go to Syracuse to visit family, which is generally during the week. I can provide a reference from my most recent client if you are having any doubts. My rates are reasonable and I'm always prompt and willing to respond to inquiries. The only time I am unavailable is when I go to Syracuse to visit my family. That happens at least once a month and during the week. My Miki is a very friendly dog with a great temperament. He gets excited when meeting new dogs, but will never bite. He is allowed on our furniture and gets to go outside quite frequently because of his Cushing's Disease.
