Dog Walkers in Sheffield, VT

About: What sets me apart... 1. I bring the full pet parent experience... ... I've spent years caring for animals of all ages and energy levels—from spunky puppies to senior sweethearts with soulful eyes and slower strides. 2. I’ve been a foster mom, matchmaker, and canine translator... ... Many of the dogs I fostered found their forever homes within 48 hours. That experience taught me how to read dog body language, adapt quickly, and provide calm, confident care, no matter the dog’s temperament or background. 2. I don’t take chances with safety... ... Even the best-trained pups can get curious or spooked. That’s why I always use an AirTag when a dog is in my care. Just a little added peace of mind for us both. And, if you'd like... I would be more than happy to share our location with you too! 3. My old dog (whose name is apparently a Rover security risk) taught me everything I know... ... These days, I travel too much for a pup of my own, but I’ve still got all that dog parent energy, and nowhere to put it... except into caring for yours. 4. I’m up with the sun (and also cool with twilight strolls)... ... Whether you need a one night stay or a longer stretch of house sitting, I’m flexible, reliable, and happy to keep your routines rolling. 5. Sometimes, there’s bonus help... ... Depending on his schedule, my partner (a longtime shelter volunteer) may be able to join me. He’s calm, gentle, and no joke, every cat so far has liked him more than me. Think of it as bonus ear scratches and nose boops. But your comfort comes first... just let me know your preference. ***I am currently welcoming new clients through Rover in addition to the longtime private clients I’m lucky to work with. While I’m based in the Northeast Kingdom this summer, I’ve set my profile to Morristown to help broaden my booking radius. I regularly care for pets in the Waterbury/Stowe area and often travel to Charlotte, Jericho, and the Mad River Valley to support families I’ve built trusted relationships with.*** Here’s to belly rubs, tail wags, and all the joy our four-legged companions bring. I can’t wait to meet yours. I am working towards making animal care (dog/cat sitting and walking) my full time job... hence I have a flexible schedule and am available to care for your animals... be it on short notice or for extended periods. As a sincere pet lover with years of experience, you can trust that your four-legged ones will be in safe, capable, and loving hands. As a former innkeeper and park ranger, I bring a commitment to care and responsibility to every dog/kitty-sitting experience. I understand and appreciate how important your animal's routine is and will honor it to keep them feeling secure and happy while you’re away. I believe in the "leave no trace" philosophy, so when you return, the only sign of my visit will be a content, well cared for furry friend. Just as I took pride in leaving each space better than I found it in my previous roles, I’ll treat your home with the same respect and attention to detail. You can trust that your doggo/kitty's safety, comfort, and daily routine are my top priorities

“Great communicator. Great patience with Lando (who was skiddish when she arrived). Would happily recommend”

About: I've had pets of all ages for my entire life—cats and dogs as well as birds, fish, bunnies, rats... I am a huge animal lover—and it has a lot to do with my upbringing <3 My mom was the kind of person who would never kill a spider and instead gently scoop it up with a piece of paper and shuttle it outside to safety. I was lucky enough to grow up right on the ocean in Nova Scotia, surrounded on the other 3 sides by woods. So much wildlife! One time my mom found an injured Great Blue Heron in our yard, and somehow got it into our car and drove it to the vet, even though it pecked at her from the back seat the whole time lol! (The vet was able to mend its broken leg and release it back into the wild!) All this to say, looking after animals has always been a huge part of my life. I am often the person my friends contact when they need a pet-sitter while they go on vacation. I'm reliable, communicative, and intuitive. I'm always happy to administer medications (having done this for many of my own pets in their later years), follow specific diets and feeding schedules, go for walks, give extra cuddles (or less cuddles), whatever makes the animal and their human comfortable! I'm also happy to water your plants while you're gone, bring in your mail, refill the bird feeder, whatever you need within reason! I'm currently working from home building my coaching business, so I'm very flexible! I can work from anywhere since I do most of my coaching online, and I can set my own hours around your pet's needs. I will treat your fur-babies with as much care and tenderness as I treat my own. Every animal has their own distinct personality and routine, and I'm extremely respectful of each animal's individual needs. I'm constantly aware of how special this pet is to someone. There's a feeling of reverence—we are so lucky to have these amazing creatures in our lives <3

About: I've been taking care of pets (cats, dogs, and rabbits) my entire life. One of my career highlights was working at the Philadelphia Zoo. Granted, I was working as a puppeteer, but I love being around animals every day. I currently have two beloved cats of my own, and I'm excited to meet your pets! I'm also a freelance puppeteer and writer - so when I'm between projects I have a very flexible schedule and will be happy to take care of your pets! I pride myself on being good with animals, love winning them over, and am a very empathic person. While I love a friendly creature, I'm also good at giving animals space if they're shy around new people, etc.

“We love Maria! She does an amazing job with our recent rescue who is a large breed and still working on his leash skills. He loves his walks with her and we trust her to keep him safe and have a fun happy walk! She has been reliable and flexible!”

“Alison took wonderful care of my boy! Reliable and great communication. I did not worry at all that my pup was being taken care of while I was away.”

About: Hey guys! After three years of consistent Rover I am switching my house sitting to returning clients only. I highly recommend Emily Z. In Saint Johnsbury if you are looking for a house sitter. I will be keeping my drop ins and walking open for everyone. 💙 I am free full time at any distance June to late August. During the school year I am only available outside of school hours (7:30am to 3:30pm) Photos and Contact: If requested I do keep owners updated to their comfort level, if not requested I try not to message too much so that people don't have to be on their phones constantly when away.

About: Hi! I’ve been pet sitting and had my own dog for many years. Now, I have experience from drop-in visits to extended overnight stays, with many different types of needs. I’m dedicated to caring for a pet the same way their owner would and look forward to spending time with animals. I work from home most days and can accommodate a flexible potty schedule and activity level. I enjoy taking breaks to spend with pets, to get outside or tuck in on the sofa! I have an enclosed garden and large, unfenced yard. We are well back from the main road so pets are welcome to explore the neighborhood.

About: Able to animal sit 24/7, will and able to handle any type of animal with any special needs. Has experience with senior care and special diets. I have a remote job, so I am able to come over and take care of animals along side my normal job as long as there's wifi. I have time for breaks to be able to go on walks and play, while also able to just be there as a warm lap to lay on and someone to give pets. Big into schedules to be able to give animals a happy and loving life. I like to follow the already daily routine pets have. From where they sleep and eat, to what time they eat. With dogs I'm willing to take them out on walks on the leash till I know they'll recall to me, unless you live on a property that they run free on often.

“Our experience with Giuliana was great! She's incredibly conscientious and thoughtful, and our dog Zoe was in great hands with her. We give her the highest recommendation, and certainly plan to use her services again.”

About: Hello everyone! I have cared for many pets in the past with my most recent being my new puppy moose! He is an almost 9-month-old mini Aussie. With this, I’ve gained a ton of knowledge about training along with the dreaded potty training. Moose is potty trained and was fully potty trained at 5-months-old. I would love to be able to train other puppies/ dogs and have playmates for moose! I am sure your fur baby will be in the best care possible! I work part time which is usually not more than 2-4 hours a day! This leaves plenty of time for me to walk, train, and play with your pups! All pups will need to be in my care for boarding or daycare before 11 a.m. and picked up before 6 p.m. This schedule can be adjusted as I have a very flexible work schedule! I have a very large yard, along with a very playful pup to keep your pup busy! All dogs in my care will be created if I am not home to ensure they are safe. With this, all dogs will never be crated for more than 2 hours at a time. At your home, I will follow any rules you wish to ensure your pup's safety.

About: Hi, I’m Jess, I’ve had animals my entire life, currently have 2 pups of my own. I also have worked at an animal shelter for over 12 years, which included kennel care, dogs walks from puppy, easy walkers to harder walker that needed extra guidance. Also included socializing the dogs from super shy ones to clingy out going ones. Also have cat experience from shy timmed cats to also clingy out going ones. Have experience with having to give pets meds and recovery times if needed. I enjoy talking my pups for walks, hikes and play times, Hi, I’m currently a stay at home mom to my daughter who would need to come with me time to time. I would be able to do drop in visits or walks with your pets including photos and updates while we are there. I have a fenced yard for my pups, go on daily walks. And weekly hikes. Tons of love snuggles and playtime for them. I would make sure they get everything they needed rather it’s snuggling or getting the playtime zoomies out.

“Bella helped me out last minute and gave me some peace of mind during a long work day. Great service!”

I grew up around horses and farm animals, spent time volunteering with shelters, and have fostered and rehabilitated animals in need. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s who I am. I take their happiness and well-being as seriously as my own, whether that means preparing fresh meals, making sure they stick to their routine, or just giving them lots of love and attention. When I’m not with animals, you can usually find me out in nature, making art, gardening, or learning new skills in bushcraft, herbalism, and homesteading.
