Dog Walkers in Amherst, NH

About: I have grown up with cats and in my adult life have been an animal volunteer for 5 years and fostered dogs while owning 2 dogs myself :) I’m very passionate about all animals and have been my whole life. Working in animal rescue I have personally placed about 16 dogs into their forever home over the past few years! I have experience with animals that need medication, injection oral and topical. I also have extensive experience with shutdown or nervous temperaments. I work from home Mondays and Wednesdays and off on Tuesdays. I’m very active after work (we walk everyday) and love to hike or get on a trail on the weekend and love to bring dogs with me! I own my own home with a big yard (not fenced) we have a runner and secure doorways so no dogs will break free. I have 2 female spayed resident dogs and a dog savvy preteen. I also have an infant who is not home in the day time.

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is that animals have always been a part of my life, not just something I care for occasionally. Growing up in a big family, our home was always FULL of pets...dogs, cats, rabbits, 2 birds, fish, even an iguana—and I learned from an early age how to nurture and care for animals of all kinds. My mom owned a horse, and my dad’s one dog soon turned into three—then he brought home a rescue. Years later my mom brought home a litter of abandoned kittens, so compassion for animals has been a part of my life from the very beginning.. I have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and ages, from playful puppies to senior pets who may need extra patience and medical support. I’m comfortable administering medication and paying close attention to pets with special needs. While in nursing school, I turned my love for animals into side work, walking dogs and providing overnight care for either dogs or cats, which gave me even more experience building trust with pets and peace of mind for their families. At the heart of it, I treat every pet like my own—because I know they’re not “just pets,” they’re family. Pet care fits into my routine very naturally. I’m a stay at home mom with a flexible schedule, so I’m able to give plenty of time and attention to the pets I care for. Your pet would have my full focus and lots of love. I focus on providing a safe, calm environment for every pet I care for. Dogs boarding in my home get supervised time in my fenced yard and relaxed walks in a quiet neighborhood. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routines closely, whether that’s feeding, letting dogs out, walks, or caring for cats. I want pets to feel comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away. *I can accommodate dogs who need to be the ONLY dog during their stay. Exclusive care is offered at a higher rate since I’m unable to take other bookings at that time.

“Callie is amazing! She is dependable and communicates effectively. I really can’t explain how much I appreciate her! I look forward to the pictures of Kola from her walks! Thank you Callie so much!”

“Kathryn was a blessing to meet, and a joy to have as a walker, for my dog Juice. An owner of pitties, she handled him perfectly, even though he likes to pull. I look forward to hiring her again. As I'm sure, there will be more walks in future. Thank you so much for your time and dedication”

“Viviana is wonderful, I knew her from previous experience and interaction with my dog. She is timely in her walks and I know she is patient with my guy who loves to stop and sniff ALL the things, I am pretty sure he likes his walks with Viv because she lets him take his time outside! I love the pictures I get with each walk too!”

About: I have a home that allows me to be flexible for my clients. If your dog requires it’s own private space I can accommodate that. I live near beautiful hiking trails and great walks. Your dog would get all the exercise and love he or she could ask for! Cats can enjoy time on the 2nd floor screened in porch, overlooking a stream, trees and farmland. I pay attention to detail to make sure all of my clients needs are met. I work part time from home. So I am available through out the day. I am active and take advantage of beautiful southern NH. I enjoy bonding with animals and their company on my adventures and while relaxing at home. I have a yard, it is not fenced in. I live near trails and in a neighborhood with safe walking roads. My home allows me to have private areas for your cat or dog if need be if they were to board here. I have very friendly cats and dogs in my home, separating the animals is easy to do. I am very careful and attentive to detail and all clients specific needs. I will make sure your pet is loved and safe. Pictures, videos and updates during their stay in my home would be as frequent as requested.

About: If you’re looking for someone to care for your dogs, you found the right person. My flexibility is vast. I can care for dogs at your house or mine, travel dogs, to dog parks, hiking trails, places to swim, or just cuddle on the couch I have flexibility for multiple visits during the day and multiple trips outside as needed. I am very flexible with caregiving for animals and can adapt to various routine needs for your pets, including overnights. My flexibility allows for multiple visits during the daytime or nighttime. I have a fenced in backyard, my own dog and cat who are fairy friendly with other animals. I live in a safe neighborhood and have reliable transportation as needed.

About: I’ve been working with dogs since I was 7 years old at my grandmothers dog grooming salon. I’ve always loved both dogs and cats, and I’ve always felt a connection to them. I now have a dog and cat, and am open to caring for more animals! Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine very easily. On days that I’m working I have plenty of time to walk my dog and feed her in the morning, and once I get out of work i have just enough time to do a walk and feed her! On my days off I tend to spend as much time with my pets as possible, wether is playing, walking, or cuddling! I care for my pets at home by spending quality time with them. My dog loves walks, playing with toys, doing tricks for treats, and cuddling. My cat enjoys lounging with me some days, but he isn’t very playful.

“Nathan is very respectful and flexible to our needs. We’ve had no problems changing up our walk schedule or swapping times while traveling. Nathan is fantastic!”

“Rachel was very communicative and kind. She took videos and pictures during our dog’s walk, which my wife greatly appreciates. She also filled in fairly short notice when our regular walker needed to tend to personal matters, so we are very grateful to her!”

“I have been using Katie's dog walking services since August for my pup Derby. She has been amazing. Derby looks forward to her time with Katie each week. Katie communicates to me about any concerns as needed and is very reliable and flexible especially when I was running late from work She offered to check on Derby again later that day. We are happy to have Katie a part of little Ms. Derbys life.”

About: As the eldest of a large family, I've naturally become the trusted pet sitter whenever someone's away. I bring a great amount of experience in looking after all kinds of animals, making sure they're comfortable, well-cared for, and stick to their regular routines while their owners are out of town. I can make your pets feel loved and safe (and if they cuddle even better). I’m currently a college student and employed part-time, so in my free time I’d love to care for your sweet pets. Monday & Friday I can provide care up until 4PM and Thursdays after 3:30PM. I also have availability Saturdays before 10AM! In client’s homes and neighborhoods, I can make use of what resources might be provided by you to make your pet feel as comfortable and safe with me as possible. I’m also a big cuddler, so if your pets prefer to be more relaxed and quiet I’m more than happy to be their snuggle buddy!

“Today was the first of many visits for Maxine and Wren! Maxine has anxiety and Wren was patient and understanding while Max took her time warming up to him. They played frisbee, went for a walk and she had a blast! Wren was cautious of the hot temps 💙 and he even had water for her 😊 I absolutely love the pictures Wren sent us on their walk. Max is looking forward to seeing Wren next week!!!! Thanks Wren!!!!!”

About: I have cared for pets of all kinds since high school. I currently have 2 cats, a dog, and a fish that are a handful, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I am a freelance graphic designer and podcaster who makes my own schedule and can rearrange things to fit the needs of you and your pets. Listening to pet owners' instructions is of utmost importance when it comes to making sure your pets are taken care of. I pride myself on making the entire process as smooth as possible for your pets.

“Heather was wonderful with my Golden Retriever Nell. She was reliable, always on time, and consistently took her for hour long walks and swims on our local horse trails and in our local pond, which was just what Nell loved. She took cute photos of their adventures to post for me, and kept her safe and content. She has been a real asset and I would highly recommend her. Nell is a young and energetic dog and Heather had no difficulty managing her and providing good care.”
