Dog Walkers in South Rutland, NY

“Justin has been walking our GSD for quite some time now. We would recommend him to anyone! He has been so good to ghost and has really helped him come out of his shell. Ghost has always looked forward to their walks and even gets annoyed with us when he realizes his walk with justin isn’t happening that day when we have had to reschedule lol. Ghost will definitely miss him when we move & we can’t thank him enough for treating him with such care and understanding as ghost was growing up. Thank you for working with our sour patch boy!”

About: I’ve had pets (dogs of all sizes and cats) my whole life and currently have two corgis. If there’s a dog or cat in a room, that’s where you’ll find me. I follow your instructions to a T because I believe the way you need pet care doesn’t stop when you leave for a trip. Also available for emergency drop ins and help, because you never know when life get crazy. Having pets myself, pet care it’s my routine! I focus my day around making sure pet’s needs are met, as well as try to go above and beyond to make them as happy as they make us. I follow your instructions to a T - if you need/want your pets cared for in a certain way, I’ll make sure that it’s done just as you need!

“Our two wild animals had a great time on their walks with Sabrina. She treated them like they were her own fur babies and it’s such a relief to know that she’s around! We came home to two very happy, clearly well taken care of pups. We are so thankful!”

About: We have three dogs who are more spoiled than our children. We dont like people, but we love animals 🤣. We love walking and playing, and so do our pups! Our babies are spoiled rotten and we can't help it. Our pups have their own doggie pool that they can use any time in the summer. We have tons of toys and one of our favorite things to do is just be home with them and de stress. We sometimes go to the dog park or take walks on the Black River Trail, too! We care for our own fur babies every day, having extra in the house is just an added bonus. Our animals are loved all day long, and we promise to deliver the same to yours. We have a large fully fenced in yard in a rural area, so we have lots of room for running! Our pups go in and out as often as they want. We do allow pets on the furniture, always! ***FOR FULL TRANSPARENCY *** We do require all dogs who are boarding in our home to eat and sleep in a crate, as well as be in their crate if we need to leave the house for any reason. This is strictly for safety reasons to keep all dogs and our children safe. We understand that not everyone is a fan of crating their dog, and we would never do so without consent. This is non negotiable. If you feel strongly your dog does not require needed a crate please reach out to me and we can talk as I do make very rare exceptions. If your pup shows behavioral issues that make it difficult to maintain safety, such as biting or excessive aggressiveness, we will add on an extra charge to the booking. This is almost never an issue, and we are able to separate dogs as needed. When staying in our home, your pups safety is always our number one priority.

“Thank you! Glad to hear Sandy did a little dance for you!”

About: I have experience with dogs my entire life from daily care routine to caring for senior dogs. Your member of the family would be treated very well and we are able to care for dogs that require special attention. Your dog would not go more than 2-4 hours without someone supervising them. I would make sure your animal is safe. The world class care your fur baby would get would be unmatched. My doggies are literally spoiled but well behaved. They are sweet so there will be plenty of attention and exercise for your loved one. ❤️❤️❤️

“Julia went above and beyond taking care of Skipper. We are completely satisifed with the drop in visits and walks through the week. Julia provided excellent updates and prompt communication. We would absolutely contract her services again and we recommend using Julia!”

About: Hi, nice to meet you! Please call me Eliza. Firstly, thank you for considering me to take care of your fur-babies while you're away. Here's a little bit about me and my history with pet care. When I was little, I always knew I wanted to work with animals in some capacity. My journey with pet care began when I was 12 years old. One of my neighbors had a black lab puppy that they never let inside & never had company. One day, I walked up to their door, knocked & asked them to hire me to walk their dog everyday. I never looked back. Since then, friends, family, neighbors & strangers alike have entrusted me with all of their pet's needs. When considering booking with me, please keep in mind that I also work 35 hours a week, giving me plenty of time to pay attention to your pets. I do not have breed restrictions & am happy to work with any special needs or requirements your pet may have. FOR ALL NEW CLIENTS, I do require a meet & greet before booking to ensure that everyone (including your pet) is comfortable and to be able to ask/answer any questions we may have for each other. I've found this helps to ensure trust between all of us. Please be upfront with any triggers or quirks so I know exactly how to take care of your pet. *The meet & greet is a FREE service to ensure we're all a good fit for each other before the stay. For the time being, I do not offer boarding in my home. During my stay with your pets, I provide the utmost care & attention to your pet & their needs. My main priorities are making sure your pet is as safe & as comfortable as possible in an already anxious situation with their parents being away. Thank you so much for considering me to take care of your fur-babies while you're away.

About: I have worked in the animal care industry since I was 14 years old. I grew up with my mother whom bred and showed various different breeds of dogs as well as we kept a small mixed livestock farm. I have worked as an equine manager, I have worked at TSC, and currently am employed at a veterinary clinic where I was originally working with boarders. My skills include basic training, basic grooming, administering preventatives and medication (including insulin), providing effective and safe restraint, and I have taken multiple educational courses on animal welfare, behavior, and stress-free approach to handling. I work full time, but only mid day so I am more than capable of doing morning and afternoon visits as well as mid day on the weekends. I take care of animals the same way I would want to be cared for: with patience, kindness and love but above all safely. Working at a veterinary clinic I have learned a great amount about safe animal care (including with reactive animals).

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the attentive energy I set with both puppies and senior pets! I love going for long walks and making sure every pet feels spoiled with toys and treats. As a pet owner I understand that pet care is a huge responsibility, with proper planning and communication I will insure that it will fit perfectly into my routine. I work part-time but I am flexible with scheduling as long as it is in advance. I understand how each pets personality varies, whether it's cuddling on the couch or playing with their favorite toys, I love spending quality time with them and making sure they're happy and healthy. When it comes to safety and trust, I take it very seriously. In my home, I make sure the environment is pet-friendly and safe as I have a cat of my own. I understand that prioritizing pets health is crucial, I will take them on walks to make sure they get plenty of exercise. In my client's home, I follow their guidelines and routines to ensure their pets feel comfortable and secure. I treat every pet like they're my own, providing lots of love and attention to make them feel at home!

About: I’ve grown up with animals in my life since I was born and my mom worked at a Vet Clinic for 13 years so I’ve seen my fair share of all sorts of breeds! From little Pugs to giant Cane Corsos! I’m up for anything and happy to help in anyway I can! I am usually free throughout the week especially with a heads up I should have no problems being able to help you out with whatever needs to be done! And I’ll be happy doing it! I have a dog named Motley who is 4 years old! She’s a mutt but we love her so much and she gets along well with other animals. Sometimes she’s a bit excited with new people/ animals but she is crate trained and potty trained so shouldn’t be a problem!

“Alexandra is great with my dog (a big rottweiler), and is great about communication, sending pictures during walks/stays, etc. Highly recommended.”

“I have a rescue pittie named Peter thats only been with me for about 4 months, and he currently needs a lot of extra care, attention, patience, and love. Nicole has been so kind and willing to accommodate his needs, and Peter loves her! He looks so happy in all the update pictures she sends— I’m grateful to have found somebody that both me and my dog feel comfy with.”

I am open to talking about any other things you may need !

About: I have a 13 year old shitzu yorkie who has been with me since I was 9 and I trained him myself. I have a roomy place with lots of places for individual areas. I currently am taking a break from work and have plenty of time to care for your furry friend as needed! Full time availability and plants of room in my schedule for any hour care. I have a dog who can keep your furry friend company but have enough room to separate them if your dog or cat likes their own space!

About: I worked on a farm when I was in high school where I worked with horses, goats, cats, dogs, and so much more! I’ve also worked as a kennel tech at Sit Means Sit dog training for 4 years. No matter how big or small, I can’t wait to meet them! I’m currently in school and looking for a side hustle to keep busy throughout the day as I finish my last online classes! I’m free all week! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have experience working with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I always make sure they receive attentive, loving care. I will follow your pet’s routine, respect any special instructions, and ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while they’re in my care.

“I’ve got a senior dog with some extra needs and Claire was super accommodating. The weather wasn’t great so she played with the pups inside since they didn’t get a long walk. Definitely recommend!”

About: I have had dogs my whole life. Great with meds, after surgery care, senior dogs, walks an of course lots of play and cuddle time. I treat each dog as if they are mine. I work from and can make my own schedule, which leaves time to spoil my dog and get cuddling and lots of play time in. I have an unfenced yard but plenty of room for your fur baby to run. I have a staffy that is a rescue and is very sweet and gets along with other dogs. If I come to you we will have lots of fun.
