Dog Sitting in Winooski

About: My family has had dogs since I was 14. Out first dog was a German Shepard and second a German Shepard/Husky mix. Currently my Sheppard Husky mix resides in North Carolina staying with my mother as we were worried how he would do with a big move. I have always loved dogs and their companionship. It would be a privilege to take care of another’s fur baby. I currently have the sweetest little dachshound that I rescued in September of 2024 and we have been inseparable ever since, he is truly my child. I take my dog Beanie on longer walks about 2x a day and shorter ones through the day. I am mostly available on Fridays and weekends and after 5pm on Monday - Thursday My yard is not fenced in but there are many dog parks and safe places to play in my neighborhood. I love taking long walks and they are even better with a fiery companion.

About: I have previously worked at the Humane Society, a non-kill shelter, helping to train and take care of dogs of all ages, breeds, and sizes. As a student, I have incredibly flexible hours throughout the weekday and weekend. I love hiking and exploring and would love to be able to take some pups on runs/adventures with me, however, I also love cats and am an avid reader, a perfect way to pass an afternoon petting a snuggly kitten. I’ve been a go-to dog and cat sitter for friends, family, professors, and fellow students for years and relish the opportunity to make a new community in Burlington. Currently in a study period and looking for furry friends to keep me company. I am typically able to get places early in the morning, around lunch, and after 3 pm which would be perfect for walks, small breaks, and feeding schedules! I have more flexibility on the weekends. I am comfortable with all potential sleeping arrangements for dogs whether that be crate-training, snuggling in the bed, or having their own dog bed downstairs. I tend to stay up late and get up early, a perfect match for younger dogs who need to go out more frequently. I’m not allergic to cats and welcome a multi-animal household.

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.

“Taylor was fantastic! She is so caring and we were comforted knowing our cats were in such great hands. She sent thorough reports after each check-in and a mix of photos and videos. The cats loved all her scratches and visits. She is also extremely responsive. Thank you, Taylor!”

About: I have been working with animals for the last ten years. Started working in dog daycares and moved my way up to vet medicine where i now am a vet technician. I am patient and understanding to all pets personalities and ages. I am currently working 3 days a week on a specialty service at a veterinary hospital. My weekends are typically free and I would love to fill the time with your furry loved ones. Will be very respectful of your home and make giving your sweet boy or girl my devoted attention. Back yard fence in play is great but leash walks are also great!

“Molly has been an absolute gem with Artie! She has been communicative, reliable, and someone our cat feels comfortable with. Will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Jayna has been great. On time, caring, good communication, trusting. Able to handle a slight curve ball on her last visit. Highly recommend her.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember! my parents owned a dog rescue when I was growing up and i’ve always had at least one personal dog of my own. I have a lot of experience with all different breeds as well as ages of dogs and have dog sat for a number of people anywhere from 1 night to 3 weeks! Pet care easily fits into my daily routine. If I am at someone’s house, I treat their animal like my own and provide the best care possible. I care for the pets in my home by walking them, cuddling with them, playing with them, and of course feeding them. I am more than comfortable crating animals, giving them medication, or any other sort of expectation.

“Was great with my two boys!”

“Azariah was great with our two kitties! She spent extra time with our shy cat to help her get comfortable.”

About: Past work experience at a small-but-mighty no-kill shelter (Animal Resource Center in Bloomsburg, PA). Over the years, I've lost count of how many times I've played Fairy Dogmother, but I truly never get tired of it. Pets are family, and when folks entrust me with caring for their babies while they're away, I take that seriously! In addition to work experience, I'm a past volunteer for Charleston Animal Society, and my own dog, Zelda, and I are a certified therapy dog team with Alliance of Therapy Dogs (ATD). My work is fully remote and I'm fortunate to have some autonomy in how I structure my day, so I can generally be fully present and swiftly responsive to your pet's needs. (My partner works in-office, so I may occasionally need to pop home to attend to my own pup's meals or potty breaks.) All Charleston Animal Society volunteers who wish to work directly with adoptable dogs must take a short safety course, and I've successfully passed this with flying colors. I'm experienced with administering oral medications. At the moment, I'm training for an ultramarathon, so if your pup is high-energy, you've come to the right place.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs & cats of all sizes, ages and kinds since I was 9! From family pets to friends’ and farms’ fur babies, I’m confident, resourceful and gentle with every being I care for. I work part-time at a cafe near home so there’s usually room for flexibility in my schedule. As an early riser, I love taking walks throughout the day and taking breaks to read in the sun and play with pets! I’m able to check in and adapt to whatever energy level your pup/ kitty is at for the time of day. Your pet is an integral part of your family so you can expect that I’ll treat them with love and affection to reflect that! I respect any requests made regarding your home space and other needs you may have relevant to caring for your pet. I find joy in capturing pets’ relaxation and adventures so you can expect detailed updates on how they’re doing while we’re together!

About: I love pets. Ever since I was little, playing with my pets and taking care of them gave me a sense of importance. To help do so for members of my community would be a great way to reconnect with the simple pleasures of quality pet time. I currently work full-time 4 days a week. The other three days of the week I have incredible flexibility. On the days that I do work, I can flexible in the mornings until 12, 12:30 latest. I will be unable to have pets at my own home due to landlord requests. But, I have ample experience walking dogs and ensuring they are properly supervised. I also am incredibly active and a strong individual, callable of heavy lifting and can mitigate any dragging from a leash.

“Kristina was so attentive and kind.”

About: I’ve been taking care of various animals since I turned 13. Ive been trusted to walk multiple dogs at one time, care for senior cats and administer medicine to special needs animals. I have a big love for all animals and make sure to give every pet the love they deserve. I’m a sophomore at the Univeristy of Vermont living on campus but I have a car and am excited to give some love to your pets!! I’m in class Monday through Friday but am flexible between or after classes for dog walks or any pet check ins. I love be active and would love going on a run or long walk with any pup that’s willing:) As always, it depends on the pets individual needs but Im a very active person who enjoys taking dogs for long walks and runs and accommodating their needs! I have a car so can travel to your dog and also drive them to fun new places (rail trails and hikes).

“Josh was absolutely brilliant. Extremely professional, responsible and reliable. Great communicator with humans and animals alike (lots of fun photos while we were away). He looked after our two cats for 4 days and we couldn't have been happier. When we returned home our cats were calm, well-fed and happy - food dishes were washed and litter box area was tidy. Josh will be my first choice from now on when we have to leave our cats next time.”

About: Here’s what sets me apart— and why your dog will love coming with me! These aren’t ordinary around the block walks. Your dog will head into the woods to explore and experience nature the way they’re meant to. From fresh scents and flowing rivers to tall grass and scenic climbs, every outing is designed to fully engage their body and mind. Each hike ranges from 2-5 miles, so your dog comes home truly satisfied and pleasantly tired— not just a little restless and ready for more. Give your dog the adventure they’ve been waiting for! I am available Monday through Friday between 3pm and 6pm for walks as well as Saturday and Sundays for boarding or walks throughout the day. I have three dogs that love to play with other dogs and exploring the many different mountains here in Vermont. I grew up always having at least six dogs among many other animals so adding more dogs to the pack for the day or weekend isn’t that big a deal. I just want to be able to give someone else’s dog a fun time because all dogs deserve to run around sniffling whatever their hearts desire. Most importantly if your dog is going to board in our home, they MUST be house trained. i know it can be hard to get out during the week for working pawrents. While I don't have a fenced yard your pets will be safe. I make sure to leash any dog before opening the door. I also make sure to take any dog in my care to a safe place where they are able to get the exercise they need.if they are not recall trained dogs will be kept on leashes long enough to still run and play safely!

About: Hi my name is Lily and I am an avid animal lover! I am an experienced professional dog walker and pet sitter. I have worked professionally for a local dog walking and pet sitting company in my hometown of Richmond, Virginia and this was easily my favorite job ever! I love the canine companionship and have been a dog owner and care giver since I was very young. I have grown up around dogs (very big and very small) and always loved helping my family raise our dogs throughout childhood and into raising my own cat and dogs for the past 20+ years. I have a small chihuahua named Lola who I rescued from the Richmond VA SPCA 11 years ago. She's very sweet and loves play dates with other dogs but never minds hanging back at home with the rest of her pack. She enjoys shorter walks in her senior years and can often be found soaking up the sun and recharging in the backyard in the warmer months. For six years Lola had a close chi companion named Paco who I rescued from Tennessee in 2020 who is unfortunately no longer with us. He sadly lost his battle with congestive heart failure in January 2026 and Lola and I miss him so much everyday. In Paco's early rescue months it took a lot of time and compassion for him to open up into the sweet boy he was. He lived a very happy and fulfilled life until the end. Helping him blossom into the best, most perfect chi, was easily one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Lola and I have settled in South Burlington, Vermont and despite the cold winter months, we love our new home! In addition to being a professional dog walker and pet sitter with Barksley back in Virginia, I have also provided pet care for my friends and families fur babies for many years now. I am naturally an active person and love going on long walks in the neighborhood or just hanging out in the yard playing fetch. Do you love the dog park? I do too! I have great doggie transportation with ample room in the back of my Subaru Forester for your pup to relax in if the adventure takes us on the road. Your pet will be sure to be in the best hands with me on any adventure we go on and I look forward to playing fetch with them in the future! As a long time dog owner Iv always kept a daily routine based around caring for my pets. That usually means early mornings letting the pups out and feeding them before getting the day started. We always go on our daily dog walk and on the weekends my pups love an adventure outdoors. I have a Petcube camera and baby gates that keep my pups safe while I’m away. We allow our pets on the furniture and love snuggling up to them. They also have many beds available for snuggling if they want as well. We keep fresh water available in multiple spots throughout the house. When I’m dog sitting or boarding I make sure to ask the owner what their pet prefers in terms of a bed or crate. I also make sure to get any information on feeding and potty breaks, or any other funny quirks I would need to know about your fur baby! While boarding dogs, I make sure to check in on the pet cube camera if i ever need to spend any amount of time away.
