Dog Sitting Winooski

About: I am hoping to find a family with a dog (or dogs) that I can walk a few days a week every week. I grew up with a Saint Bernard and now two corgis, so I am used to all shapes and sizes of dogs. I have a big fluffy black cat of my own named King Louis. I work full time as a restaurant manager and like to fill my days with spending time outside and taking care of animals/walking dogs is an added bonus! I am very comfortable with walking dogs and gently enforcing rules when necessary. I can adapt to any type of training/caring that is used for your individual pet.

About: I've owned family dogs for the past 20 years and have been walking friends/neighbors dogs for 2 summers. Alongside my family I have trained our 2 year old pit bull. I love all breeds of dogs I'm currently a student and working part-time during the week. I have full availability during the weekends to play and take care of your pets and availability before 11am during the week. I have a one floor house with no other pets, a little park right outside my house and a wonderful neighborhood to go on walk in. I have the room to be able to crate your pet if needed and three dog loving roommates who can give snuggles whenever needed.

About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember but there seriously the best! In high school, I started a dog walking and pet sitting business through a class, it was an amazing experience and I absolutely loved it. Getting to know each dog’s personality and building relationships with both pets and their owners was incredibly rewarding! After that, I stepped away for a few years to help care for my grandparents full-time. Now I’m slowly getting back into working and doing something I truly enjoy. I’m excited to meet some more amazing dogs, and to have lots of fun with them and give them the attention they deserve, and help provide peace of mind for their owners while they’re away! I’m Very flexible at the moment just taking care of my grandparents is the main thing is my agenda that I deal with but definitely can work around! I have a small front yard and small back porch! 2 floor house! Mostly looking to be able to either go out with dogs on walks or take them out places for fun or sit and stay with them at there place as needed but I work with all!

“Cheyenne did a meet and greet prior to, she was reliable, sent updates and pictures and left everything very neat and clean. We are very happy with how she cared for our cat and we will certainly keep her in mind for the future.”

“Olivia did an excellent job checking in our cats while we were away on a long weekend. She was communicative, thoughtful, and professional. She provided us great peace of mind that our pets were receiving attentive and careful care. Highly recommended!”

About: There's nothing worse than having to leave your pet with someone you don't fully trust to care for them the way you will. Growing up with dogs, cats, rodents, fish, turtles, etc. instilled a strong sense of responsibility in me for detail-oriented and fiercely loving care for all types of pets. Among my friends, colleagues, and relatives, I have become the go-to person for drop-in walks, petsitting/house sitting, and more. Traveling or needing an extra hand taking care of your pet should not have to be a source of stress - I hope to be able to bridge that gap for you. Spending time with your sweet pet is just an added bonus! I have experience caring for dogs and cats under a year old all the way to senior pets who may require more attention (like medication administration). I have experience walking more than one dog at a time, as well as walking larger dogs up to 100lbs independently. I love playing with animals and see stimulating play as a vital part of caring for them while their owner is away. I work full-time for the University of Vermont - while I do work primarily in person, I have hybrid flexibility when I am not meeting with clients and am able to step away from work when I want and need to. My late afternoons, evenings, and weekends are typically free and flexible outside of rest and relaxation! I am located very central to the University of Vermont campus, the South End, and the Old North End. I can travel by foot, car, and bike. My shared living environment limits me from boarding animals in my home. However, I am happy to care for your pets in the space they're most comfortable in and familiar with! I can come and go from your home for drop-in walks, longer walk outings, and overnight stays if necessary. I will respect you and your pet's space and belongings. Cleanliness, organization, and safety are of the utmost importance to me.

“He was great with our cat and dog through multiple challenges! We had a water leak while we were away and he gave us updates. Our dog was extremely stressed with us being gone and David went over the top to bond with him and help him. He was communicative and trustworthy. We definitely recommend him!”

“Do not hesitate to book Jessie. SO nice and will go out of her way to help. Came through for a last minute drop in and was super communicative and sent lots of pics. Total rockstar.”

About: Hi! My name is Kate, and I’m a college student at the University of Vermont studying Child Psychology. I’ve always loved animals and genuinely enjoy spending time caring for pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I have 4 years of experience dog sitting and caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Through my experience, I’ve learned how important consistency, patience, and attention are when caring for someone’s pet. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, relaxing company, or sticking to a specific routine, I’m happy to adapt to their individual needs. I’m responsible, dependable, and communicative, and I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet in someone else’s care. I always prioritize safety, follow owners’ instructions closely, and make sure pets receive lots of attention and affection while you’re away. I also have reliable transportation and a flexible schedule, which allows me to be dependable and accommodating whenever possible. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I have a flexible schedule and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m able to plan my days around the needs of the pets I’m caring for, whether that means early morning walks, consistent feeding schedules, playtime, medication routines, or overnight care. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I always try to adapt to what makes them most comfortable. Some pets need lots of activity and attention, while others prefer a calmer environment and a consistent routine. I’m happy to be flexible and work with owners to make sure their pets receive the care, attention, and routine they’re used to. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I know pets feel safest in their familiar environment, so I make sure to follow all instructions closely regarding feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, crate routines, and any specific preferences or needs. I always make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and supervision while their owners are away. I also keep the home clean and respectful, provide regular updates when wanted, and prioritize safety at all times. My goal is to help pets feel relaxed, cared for, and comfortable while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pet is in dependable hands.

About: I’ve worked with dogs, cats, horses and reptiles! I have a passion for animals, and am always looking forward to meeting a new furry friend. My mom and I worked with our local shelter to foster cats and rescued them in our area, we saved over twenty cats! I’m a nursing student but have a flexible schedule! My schedule changes weekly so please feel free to reach out with preferred times :) I love to go on long walks and spend quality time with animals. Unfortunately my apartment has a no pet policy, but I would love to pet sit at a clients home! I can provide walks, clean litter boxes, play with the animals, feed them, bathe and groom them, etc.

About: Hi, my name is Hailey and I am a college student at UVM looking to make some extra money while I can. I have had animals my whole life, both cats and a dog, so I have plenty of experience taking care of animals! I am high energy so going on walks won’t be an issue and I even look forward to it. I also am very comfortable with all sizes of animals so whatever works for me! I have also pet sat before so I am comfortable taking care of an animal. Overall, I love all animals and I am looking forward to dog walking and helping you out with your pets. Feel free to message with any questions. I am currently working full time at a lab at the University of Vermont in S. Burlington and I am looking for some additional work after the workday is over or before it even begins! I treat pets with the same respect that would any other person and I look forward to spending time with your animals and giving them an enjoyable experience.

About: I grew up with lots of animals. We had 22 rabbits at one time. We always had more than 1 dog and cats while growing up. I now love to rescue dogs. I currently only have 1. I lost 2 in the past 1 1/2 years. I have a lot of experience taking care of animals. I currently work full time Monday thru Friday. I'm available before work on certain days of the week and every day after work. Available on weekends. I have a small dog that is good with other dogs. We like to go for walks. My dog is very spoiled. Lots of toys and sleeps in bed with me under my blanket.

About: Hi there, my name is MJ and I'm interested in help you with your doggos, or just your one and only pupper. I have been around dogs all my life. From chihuahuas, to pitties, a Rhodesian Ridgeback (yeah, they have a lot to say. Lol...), to your average American mutt, I seriously love all dogs. For the ones that just want the basics to those who are super charged, I can match their energy. I'm available for drop-in feedings, walks, and play-time. Have a doggo that needs a little extra attention, no problem I don't mind hanging out for a few hours, so you can run errands doggo free, appointment that might be long, or just need to escape for a bit. I am flexible between the hours of 8:30am-5pm, if you are in Shelburne village I can be a bit more flexible until 8pm. Overnight stay can be arranged with at least 2+ weeks notice. We have 2 fabulous felines, Zen & Leia, that are our fur babes!! We start every morning with feeding & water changes. Toy & fun, scritches & snuggles, sometimes even a cat nap. We make our own cat food as well. I have cared for personal family pets, friends pets (dogs, cats, fish, smallies.). I am very professional and enjoy being around animals very much. We have 2 cats, Zen Vader and Princess Leia. We also have a ball python, Ms. Bea Arthur. Caring for animals brings me so much joy, and I love the thank yous of butt wiggles and a purring machine.

“Christine was amazing!! It always feels so good to leave a pet in the capable hands of a friendly, caring person. She was on time and followed instructions - with a puppy that can be a challenge at times so I truly appreciate the effort. Thanks so much- I will definitely reach out again if I need help with Zoey again”

“Hannah is awesome with our cats! We highly recommend!”

About: I have grew up around dogs and cats and always had a huge amount of love for them. For the last 3 years when I was living in South Carolina, my good friend always called me first to dog sit and house sit. I’ve been around many different types of dogs. Would love to learn more along this journey Right now I am in the Air National Guard, so my weekdays are not filled up at the moment. In the meantime, I think that taking care of cats and dogs would be amazing for me. I’d like to think that every dog and cat I come in contact with, we automatically will grow a connection. Instructions are easy to follow. I have no problem completing whatever task needs to be completed while also having a fun time with these pets

About: I’ve been taking care of family dogs as well as those of friends, neighbours, and extended family for about 15 years. I’m a lover of dogs of all sizes and breeds, and doing activities from walking, hiking, running, playing and even just chilling on the couch! Over the last couple of years I’ve been watching a few different senior dogs over night for long periods of time, providing medications and other remedies they may need. Hello! My name is Harry, I live in the Burlington area and specialize in nature/adventure focused pet care. I love going on runs, hiking, swimming, road trips and walks with pets of all ages, sizes, and outdoor ability. I’m currently free just about any day to help care for your furry family members, shoot me a message and I’d be happy to chat more about the kinds of services I can provide :-) I currently live in the South End of Burlington next to a large park, the bike path, and the waterfront. I have enough space here for your pet to run around and play either solo or with my other furry friends. Inside my home I have the ability to care for three to four pets at once based on size as my partner and I have several rooms in our apartment for your pet to lounge, play, and enjoy themselves! In regards to care in your home, I am able to stay over night, check in daily or even just walk your pet when needed! I have a car so I can meet just about anywhere and I’m happy to take your pet on little adventures if desired. I love to stay active so playing, walking, hiking, running and swimming are some of my favourite activities to do! However if needed I can kick my feet up and be a homebody for the more lazy pups.

“Yelena was super communicative and always kept me in the loop on her timing, which I really really appreciated. She took fantastic care of my cat! Would definitely recommend”

“I have had Lou help me for years. I’m moving out of the area soon, and I will miss his friendship and the bonds he has made with my pets over the years. We have been through a lot together. I trust him with anything.”
