“Alyssa was very patient with our dog Maple who takes time to warm up to going on walks with new people. We appreciate her patience, communication, and willingness to get feedback on how to make the walk go smoothly! Looking forward to continuing to work with her.”
“Cara has been absolutely wonderful with Frita Beans! Frita can be a little timid at times, but Cara’s patience and gentle approach have helped her feel comfortable and happy on their walks. I feel completely at ease knowing Frita is in such good hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and kind dog walker!”

About: Hi! I’m Abby, and I’ve been caring for animals my whole life—everything from playful puppies to mellow senior pets. Friends and family always turn to me when they need someone dependable to watch their furry loved ones, and I’d love to do the same for you. I know how important it is to feel at ease while you’re away. That’s why I treat every pet like they’re my own—lots of love, attention, and consistency with their routines. Whether it’s walks around the neighborhood, playtime, snuggles, or keeping up with special diets or medications, I’ve got it covered. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine—I work on a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time for walks, drop-ins, and playtime throughout the day. Whether it’s morning, afternoon, or evening, I can adjust to your pet’s needs. When I care for pets in their own home, my priority is keeping them comfortable and sticking to their normal routine. I follow all instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications, and playtime—so everything feels familiar for your pet. I give them plenty of love and attention, but also respect their space if they’re more shy or independent. I make sure water bowls are always fresh, litter boxes are clean, and your home is left just the way you expect it. I also send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

About: Senior pets have a special place in my heart. I’ve had pets my whole life, growing up with two dogs, (A golden, named princess and a Vizsla, named Ruby Rose) and a handful of kitties whom I’ve loved till their 9th life. I am comfortable with administering medications, following specific diets, and attending to your pet’s unique quirks and specificities! I have dog-sat for friends and neighbors over the years, and I also pet sit on Trusted House Sitters I’m off work this summer, so pet care fits easily into my day! Mornings, afternoons, evenings, whatever works best for your pet’s routine. I focus on keeping your pet’s routine as normal as possible: same feeding schedule, same walk times. I’m attentive to details like locking doors and gates, keeping food/water fresh, and watching for any signs of stress or illness. I treat your home with the same care and respect I’d want for my own

I will always make sure your pets are feed, had their potty breaks, and have had their walks!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Winooski
Alek did a fantastic job with Ryker! He kept me updated throughout the visit, which I really appreciated. He let me know that Ryker was having a little trouble at first, barking at him, and not wanting to get too close. This was no surprise for me, as Ryker can be that way with new people! Alek was patient, and he updated me again to let me know they had worked things out. He also kept me informed that Ryker had done his business outside, enjoyed a nice walk, and got to play in the yard. I really appreciate the communication and care he showed throughout the visit. I would absolutely recommend Alek and will definitely be using him again in the future!
Once again Marissa didn't disappoint. I appreciated her patience with my dog who loves to sniff her way through her walks, going above and beyond by staying longer than planned and bringing in a delivery. I would recommend her anytime and will reach out to her first when I have a walking need.
Had a great experience booking daily walks for three days with Jenna. Had to book super last minute and she was kind enough to accept and be flexible with us. She provided a rover card for each walk showing how far and long they walked as well as if my dog pooped 1-2x which was rlly helpful for me. jenna also went the extra mile of feeding him and making sure he ate after his walks while also keeping him company for a good amount of time afterwards too. All of which was rlly appreciated, well communicated, and shows how much she cares! I also received a daily picture which I looked forward to everyday :) not many dog walkers would do all of this but she did. Also, it was rlly important that my dog goes on a 30 min walk once every 24 h or else he won’t eat and starts throwing up from starving himself and she responsibly did show up within the asked/ flexible time frame:) Would book another walk with her in the future

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Winooski. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
