Dog Walkers in Sheldon, VT

“5 stars! Bridget was flexible with my schedule and communication was smooth and steady. She was great with my golden retriever Layla. I would definitely recommend her to anyone!”

About: I love taking care of animals. I have had dogs and cats my whole life. They are our fur babies after all and I treat them as such. I am currently at home full time so dogs are not left alone. I do have a super friendly and cuddly 3 year bison/poodle mix named Teddy. I have fenced in backyard where dogs can run around and play. I do take dogs for frequent walks and we have lots of play time.

“I am pleased to learn of the service your group provides to support families' pets. So glad to recommend Emma to join your team. We have known Emma and family for 10 years. We share the love of pets with them...their dog clearly a member of their family as our cat is with us. Emma has taken great care of our cat/child while we are away. I gladly recommend Emma to join your service in support of animals and their families. Respectfully, Beth C.”

About: I have owned and cared for dogs for over a decade and a half. I have previously worked in a small pet hotel's pet care industry and owned my own dogs over the years. **I am unavailable to care for cats due to a severe allergy** I am currently a graduate student with a flexible schedule, and I am looking to fill some of my time looking after other's dogs while they are traveling. I am very careful and respectful of other people's homes and the routines they have with their dogs. I try my best to adhere as closely as possible to a pet's normal routine.

“Sukhpran is an excellent pet parent and caretaker. Sukhpran will make your pet feel as comfortable as possible and give them the right amount of exercise. She really knows how to keep your pet safe and happy!”

“Zee is a wonderful hard working individual with a vibrant personality. I can attest to Zee being a responsible individual who takes wonderful care of her two dogs. I would trust Zee with my dogs and know that she will do whatever it takes to fulfill her responsibilities!”

“Chelsea is my twin sister. Not only is she the best aunt to my human babies, but she is the best auntie to her fur nieces. She always makes sure that the dogs are loved just as much as the human babies. She brings them toys and snacks. She not only personally trained her rescue pup, but she also got professional help to make sure she was giving her baby the best chance at success. There’s no one better out there to trust with your fur babies than chelsea. She will make sure they are loved and cared for as if they were her own. Even if that means letting them be wrapped up underneath a blanket on the couch to feel loved and safe. Chelsea is a very active outdoor hiker who would make sure sure your pup is always on a new adventure and making memories”

“Hayley has cared for my dog Scout a number of times while my husband and I have been out of town. Scout is a very loving dog but can sometimes be weird with other dogs, so Hayley always stays at my house. She leaves my house cleaner than I left it, and sends me photos of her and Scout on walks and cuddling. She is always on time and I know she takes great care of my dog while I am away. Hayley is always my first text when we need Scout coverage!”

“Nick is a very reliable dog walker and sitter . He loves pets and is extremely friendly with our dog . Our dog love walking with him.”

“Can’t speak highly enough of Mark. Reliable, communicative, gracious, and kind. Thanks again for helping me out with my pups, Mark! We all appreciate it!!”

About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was twelve years old. I love hanging out with dogs and getting to know their quirks and personalities. I recently adopted my first rescue, Cabot, who loves meeting and playing with other dogs. I’m happy to bring him along for walks or play dates with your dog, depending on their preference. I have a good grasp of puppy training and believe in positive reinforcement. I’m currently waiting for my seasonal job to start in the spring, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pet! I have flexible availability to meet your established or last minute needs. I prioritize the safety and care of your pet over everything. I will stick to their daily schedule, make sure they get plenty of exercise, and will leave your home as I found it.

“Noe is always great with our Birdie! Couldn’t be happier.”

“Katelyn was great with Ozark! Gave him lots of play time and he was tired. She was very receptive to my instructions and genuinely cared for my dog. would love to rebook in the future.”

“Jaime was awesome!! Loved watching my pup bounce around when she arrived, and appreciated the updates during/after the walks. Will definitely book again!!”

About: Have owned pets my whole life, cats, fish, guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters and birds. I understand and respect that your pet is your family and you want them loved and cared for you when can't be there. I work full time with regular office hours 8-5. I can be flexible but these hours are my priority so may not be able to make everything work, but will do my best. I will follow whatever guidelines you set for your pet and will make sure they feel just as safe and comfortable in my care as they do your own.

About: My parents bred our labs a couple of times when I was a kid, so puppies and dogs have always been in my life. In college I bought my own puppy and had her for a wonderful almost 10 years. She was my best friend and I talked to her and kissed her all of the time. She made me feel happy when my days were gray. Since then I’ve dog sat for multiple families and borrow my friends’ dogs to go for walks and adventures since I no longer have a pup of my own. I work three 12 hour shifts a week so I would love to spend my free days with dogs. I’ve watched my friends dogs even on work days because I work 7a-7 p so I can be there for breakfast and dinner. Most of the time I’ve stayed in their homes so that the dog feels most comfortable. I have no other pets in my home and your pup will get all the belly rubs and scratching they need. I love to go for walks and be active with the dogs (of course only if they’re capable)

“Sally is an incredibly responsible pet sitter! She was my pet sitter for my two cats, Pesto and Gigi, for two weeks while I was on vacation. She was consistent with her care in feeding them, making sure they had lots of play time, and that they go lots of pets/cuddles too. She also made sure to send me plenty of updates/concerns, and pictures so I knew they were doing well. I could tell how much they adored her when I returned. Sally has also been a dog walker for my dog, Charlie. Charlie can be a little anxious and she always makes sure approach him in a way that doesn't rile him up. He loves her so much! I would highly recommend hiring Sally for any pet sitting and dog-walking needs - she's an animal lover, is responsible, and a great communicator, and also just a kind person!”

About: I’ve worked with dogs on and off for years but have had dogs all of my life. I have given played with big packs of pups and done solo play times as well. I have a flexible schedule that will let me have more availability for your fluffy friends to get out and play and exercise. I’m looking for a long term dog caring commitment to start off my new year. I am not able to do home care ( in my home) at this time. I do have two wonderful dogs who love to have play dates at puppy parks and go for long walks.

“Abby loves dogs more than anything, and takes great care of any dog she is near; between the cuddles, playing, and just relaxing, I know of few people who would spend as much quality time with and take as great care of dogs than Abby.”

About: I currently work full time as a veterinary technician and have years of experience with all types of animals. I also grew up on a farm and currently work on a horse farm as a hobby in my free time. I throughly enjoy pet sitting and spoil them as if they are my own. My favorite part of the job is meeting new people, their pets & all the different personalities i get to enjoy. I want to make your pets as comfortable & happy as possible while you’re away. I stick to their daily routines to have some normality while you’re gone. I have a lot of knowledge with animals and their health. I’ll be able to take care of your pet daily and if there is any emergencies or issues, I’ll know how to safely handle them. I’m also comfortable administrating medications. My schedule is pretty consistent each week. Each work day is typically 8 hours long but some days are shorter than others. Depending on location, lunch time breaks are available! My biggest responsibility is safety; keeping your pet safe while happy is my top priority. This goes for while on walks, adventures or even just bathroom breaks. As well as any sickness that may come up while you’re gone. Being a veterinary technician, i can realize a sickness sooner than others and know the right course of action.
