Dog Walkers in Stowe, 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

About: Growing up in England we had beloved family dogs. Our second dog now is very much part of our family. If I can help you out with your pet I would be happy to! I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I can easily do drop in feed and let out visits and walks on an as needed basis. I am available to drop into your home to feed and take care of your dog’s needs including affection! I would be happy to do custom walks too.

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

“Allison was great with our 9 month old puppy who is adorable but can be very stubborn and picky. We felt safe leaving Fluff with Allison and would use her again in the future.”

About: I grew up with litters of German Shepherd puppies which sparked my lifelong love of animals. As adult, I raised and bred Labrador Retrievers. I now share my home with five cats, two Labs and six chickens. I'm also a proud grandparent to two wonderful grandchildren. Retired and living in Vermont. I'm recently retired and spending my time doing what I love most. Beling arond animals. I enjoy going on walks, playing and simply keeping pets company. If you ever need a little help with your furry friend whether it's a walk, some playtime, or just a visit while you're out. I can take them to the dog parks or to the waling paths.

“Jennifer was an absolute pleasure to work with! We did a meet and greet before starting walks and I was extremely relieved when my high strung, slightly anxious terrier took to her immediately! Jennifer stayed in constant contact throughout the entire week of walks and sent a daily report & pictures each day. Jennifer is reliable, trustworthy and had a very calming effect on my dog. I would leave Talia with her any time! Thank you Jennifer for such an easy, worryfree experience ?”

About: I have owned or cared for guinea pigs, rabbits, dogs, cats, baby chicks, and even a tortoise since the age of 11. I currently own 2 cats and have experience caring for and administering medicine to sick and/or elderly pets. I am considerate of individual animal’s boundaries and their unique needs. I typically have availability Saturdays, Sundays, and Tuesdays-Thursdays. My work schedule is not always consistent, so advanced notice is appreciated. I will try to be as flexible as possible. I have lots of experience petsitting animals of very different personalities and needs. I am most familiar with cats and dogs. I am very communicative and follow instructions of the pet owner well.

About: My schedule is flexible so I'm able to spend time throughout the day with your fur baby. I'm active and happy to play fetch for hours! I like to take puppers for multiple walks and give lots of love and pets. The clients I sit for like the fact they can contact me last minute and I'm generally able to adjust my schedule to be available. My schedule changes from week to week but feel free to contact me to double check my availability no matter the season! I like when clients leave me detailed instructions on what their pets normal schedules are, that way there's less stress put on myself and on your fur friend! I'm able to work from home most days of the week, this allows me to be available for all pet needs - morning, lunch time, and after work walks are a part of my daily schedule when we have a dog to take care of. Lots of mental stimulation and training exercises throughout the day to keep them out of trouble helps too! I have a 9 year old cat in the house that tends to keep to herself in the bedroom when there's a dog around. Our home is on 5 acres of land with a big yard to do lots of sniffing around. I'm also located right on the rail trail for longer walks and adventures!

About: I’ve been pet sitting for about 15 years now. Briefly owning my own pet sitting and dog walking company many years ago before having children. My family and I have been fostering dogs for just over a year now and have had the joy of finding 6 dogs their forever homes. Now being a stay at home mom with some spare time on my hands, I’m looking to get into pet sitting and dog walking again to share the love of animals with my kiddos! Flexible availability as I am home most days all day. Mid mornings and early afternoons are best for walks. Overnight care in our home is available any day and night! We have 10 acres off a private road with ample space to run and enjoy walks. We also have an entirely fenced in yard for the dogs to romp as they please!

About: Hello! I'm excited to spend some time caring for your furry loved ones! I've had animals all my life, ranging from birds, frogs, and sugar gliders- to cats and dogs! I love animals of all shapes and sizes. Basically, if you need it done, I can do it. I’m incredibly observant and in tune with the needs of animals mentally and physically. I'm here on a mission to provide my pup Murphy with the backyard, and time off, that he deserves! We are a manners first, and positive reinforcement household. I really enjoy training time for simple things, like waiting patiently to be released, and food time manners. You and your pets will receive far more than a walk and some love with me on the job!

About: I provide calm, patient care for dogs of all personalities—especially those who need a little extra time and understanding. As a dog parent to two anxious pups, I know firsthand how important it is to move at your dog’s pace, respect their space, and really tune into their body language. I specialize in working with nervous or shy dogs and focus on creating a safe, low-stress environment where your pup can feel comfortable and cared for. Whether it’s slow, quiet bonding time or gentle walks with lots of encouragement, I’ll make sure your dog feels secure and loved while you’re away. I’m all about building trust, being consistent, and treating every dog like they’re part of the family. I’d love to learn more about your pup’s routine, preferences, and how I can help make your time apart worry-free. I am currently attending a remote graduate program and have a lot of flexibility in my day to day! I am typically available whenever needed and happy to give all my attention to your fur babies! I always ensure I am being respectful and mindful of your space and your pets space. Ensuring I treat every home and pet as my own. Following your routine to ensure your pet has the best experience will allow me to create that safe space for them, happy to connect with you on your pet’s needs and how I can foster that safe space for them!

“I highly recommend Jess for your dog walking/boarding needs. She has been a pleasure to get to know and work with and most importantly, our dogs love her! Jess responded promptly to our request for walking services. She was very flexible in meeting our unique needs, is dependable and communicated regularly including pics. She clearly loves dogs!”

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.

“What a lovely person and dog lover! Marielle was friendly and accommodating to our schedule and took great care of our pup.”

About: Since as early as I can remember I have grown up with dogs, and other animals. I have experience in caring for dogs, cats, horses, and some exotic animals as well (small and large animals). I am always ready for a challenge and love spending time with any dog! I have experience in a variety of dog training areas including hunting dogs and service dogs. I am also a pre-veterinary student with basic animal care knowledge! I have worked with a variety of breeds ranging from retrievers and pointers to terriers and toy-breeds. I love working with dogs of all ages and am capable of caring for newborn puppies and your older furry friends! I also have over nine years of house-sitting and pet-sitting experience. Caring for pets is one of my passions so it is easy to make it a part of my daily routine, even while I'm working! Please note, I do work full-time and as such my week-day schedule is typically limited but I am happy to discuss specific options. When caring for your pets they become like my own. I supervise outside time, even if there is a fence and always keep them close!

“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.”

Leonard S.

“Fantastic, 10/10! Thank you! We reached out to Alaysha & Alexander super last minute when a family emergency required us to leave town for the day, and they responded promptly, and were able to take our dog for a lovely-seeming hour long walk. Would definitely recommend, hope we can use them again in the future!”

Philip B.

“Lauren was very accommodating especially when my schedule shifted a bit. She also was quick to respond. We will definitely use her again and I highly recommend!”

About: Aloha, My name is Sydney, I’m from Vermont originally and moved to Hawaii 5 years ago. I have been taking care of my own family pets since I was a child, and have been dog walking and pet sitting since high school. I love animals and since I don’t have any of my own here with me in Hawaii, I love being able to pet sit. Since I graduated college a few years ago I’ve had a pretty flexible job in the event industry where I often have a lot of spare time not working. House and pet sitting has given me a great opportunity to use this time hanging out with animals and getting some supplemental income while I’m doing it. I live in Waialua but am able to travel most places on the island. Please reach out if you have any questions! I have a very flexible job where I often have weeks with no work at all, giving me a lot of time to be there for your dogs/ animals. Please reach out with dates you have in mind to discuss specifics! I do not care for dogs in my own home due to our landlord being strict about no dogs. But In your home, I try to stick to the dogs normal routine as much as possible, whatever that may be for you. I’m currently working from home, or when I’m out of the house very part time, so I’m able to spend a lot of time providing care to your pets. I do not provide boarding at my own home, but will care for pets in your home following whatever care routine is best for you.

About: I have had dogs my whole life growing up and have watched dogs for family and friends since I can remember. I look forward to meeting your furry friends :) I am currently in graduate school for physical therapy and am available around that schedule which may vary on a weekly basis but I will communicate this all ahead of time! I have a 7 year old golden retriever who is very friendly and gets along with all other dogs. I have a yard that is not fenced
