Dog Walkers in Winooski, VT

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for 7 years now. I grew up having Siberian huskies of my own. I loved walking, bathing, and playing with my dogs. My family and friends have also relied on me to walk and bathe their dogs including overnight care. I love taking dogs to the dog park! Hi! My name is McKenna :) I am a college student living in burlington full time. I miss hanging out with dogs and want to spend time taking care of them. I am available to care for your pets anytime after 4 pm on week days and on weekends as well. I’d love to discuss any needs you have. Growing up with huskies, I can assure you I take pet care very seriously. I understand that dogs are family members to the owners and need my upmost care. I ensure that dogs are secure in your home and that they cannot run away. I also am a fun loving person and your pet will love my energy!

“Ashley was amazing! Always punctual and communicative and great with our pets. Being new to rover I had a lot of questions, which Ashley answered with no problem. Every visit came with very appreciated in depth updates and lots of pictures, and if we need a sitter/walker again we'll be sure to check Ashley's availability. Thanks again!”

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! I am available Mondays after 2pm, Tuesdays 8am-10am, Wednesdays 2pm- 5pm, all day most Thursdays, Fridays after 4pm, all day on Saturdays and Sunday mornings until 12pm. 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: I am medical student currently and I grew up with a sheep dog and have two small dogs currently back home. Im interested in taking care of dogs of all sizes and have plenty of experience with walks, feeding, and medication administration. I grew up with two cats as well so I always enjoy their company! I currently live in an apartment with my cat and spend most of my day studying- so I will always take your dog on long walks and will be available to give them constant attention! I can keep you posted on your dog/cat and send pictures as well if this is something you would be interested in. I am a medical student and spend most of my days studying at home or in class. My weekends are when I am most flexible since I do not have class on those days. I have a one bedroom apartment and one cat (Remi) that can keep your pet company! I am only able to take potty trained animals at this time since I am renting.

About: I am familiar with caring for dogs of all ages and sizes and have grown up with dogs throughout my life. I pay careful attention to working with the pet owner’s needs and requests in taking care of their pet’s, and am flexible to meet the owner and the dog where they’re at. I love going for walks myself, and I would love for your pet to accompany me! I am an undergraduate student at the University of Vermont, with classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. With enough advanced notice, I can arrange my schedule with lots of flexibility to accommodate for pet care! I predominantly operate based on the pet owner’s preferences and expectations for how they prefer their pet to be cared for, typically working in close contact with the owner if issues arise. I make sure to work carefully and such that no pet comes to be in a dangerous situation.

“Amelia did a great job with my dog Billy. He is very timid with new people but he warmed up to her quickly. She was very supportive and took the time for him to trust her.”

About: I have worked at a doggy daycare for over a year now - learning and honing my skills on reading dogs body language and how to better support them in times of need. I’ve also taken care of family pets and have volunteered at various local shelters for the past 12 years. I love hiking, playing, cuddling and just spending time with furry friends. I also have a rescue puppy that accompanies me depending on the job - an added bonus for playtime and socialization :) At this point I am doing work from home and have a flexible schedule - given enough notice, i will be sure to fit you in my schedule! I care for your dogs as I would mine—plenty of walks, snuggles and love, and playtime both in and outside. I listen to what your specific dog enjoys to do :)

“She was awesome with el and prompt with great communication (:”

About: I love dogs! I am great at entertaining dogs and tiring them out, and I am more than happy to just give them affection. My family also used to have two dogs! I am currently a college student and I have another job, but I have some more flexibility in my schedule this semester. I will be free most weekdays for morning/night drop ins or walks, and I am free Saturday mornings, and all day Sunday. Quality care is essential to me, so all directions communicated to me will be followed. I will also make sure I am a kind, fun and loving presence for the pet/s.

About: I've had pets my whole life. I currently have a ball python, but I grew up caring for multiple dogs, 2 cats and some guinea pigs. I have also worked in a vet clinic caring for animals that were being boarded there, and have been a pet sitter for pets of my friends and family. I have experience with senior pets who need extra care, as well as experience administer oral and topical medications to pets. I also have experience administering injected medications to humans and am happy to learn how to administer your pets' injected medication if needed. My schedule is flexible on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. I often have short-term obligations those days, but can work around those to make sure your pet gets seen when needed (up to 3 times). I have time available for dog walks and drop-ins in the mornings and evenings, as well as one in the afternoon. On Saturdays, I am available for walks and drop-ins in the morning and the afternoon, but not in the evening (after 3pm). For overnight stays, I would be available to stay in your home from 5pm to 7:30am. I care for a pet snake that includes feeding and changing his water bowl, as well as enclosure cleanings. I have cared for cats that include administering medications, cleaning litter boxes, brushing them, and giving food and water. For dogs, I have given medication, helped a senior dog who did not have stable use of his hind legs, have done basic grooming, and have provided walks, food, and water.

“Nicholas has been great for our Kinglsey. When we met they was very attentive and asked great questions. They have been a very wonderful addition to our clan.”

About: I grew up with two dogs and currently am the owner of a cat. I have always loved animals of all kinds and have had two years of experience doing drop in visits for cats. Part time student, I am open for drop in visits or dog walking on most days when I do not have to go to classes. I like to work within whatever specifications owners have for their pets and take extra precaution to make sure that they feel and are safe.

“Anna is so great! Such a pro, always stays in touch, and our dog loves her. We always feel good knowing our dog is in such good hands while we're away!”

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).

“Beatrice walks our Bernie daily - great communication with us - and we are new pet owners so texting her constantly! We have been working with her for over a month now and feel really lucky to have found her.”

About: At home, I have two pet goats, a dozen chickens, a hyperenergetic dog, and any other neighbor's farm animals that I may need to help care for. Once you've corralled goats and horses, all other pet care begins to feel easy. I'm currently a student working part-time, but I have a very flexible academic and work schedule. I'm typically available in the morning to afternoon but can arrange later times too if needed. I can play by whatever rules make you the most comfortable. Whatever your preferred routines are, I want to make things the most comfortable and convenient for you. I don't have the means to host a pet in my own apartment, but I can walk long enough to tire out your rowdy puppy or, if you prefer it, let them out in their own backyard. If I enter your home I aspire to leave no trace.
