Dog Walking Ashburnham

About: Before becoming a nurse, I was a vet tech for 5 years. I’ve also grown up with dogs and cats my whole life! Old or young, I'd loved to take care of your pet. Whether that's going for walks, playing vet, or just lounging around. Animals bring such joy to our lives and I'll take care of your baby like they're my own! I'm an ICU nurse with a few weeks in between contracts. Once I go back to work, I'll work 3 12s so I'll have lots of free time to spend with your babies. I usually know my scheduled a month in advance as well. I’m a very active person and if your pup is also active I can take them hiking or for a run! But if your dog is a couch potato I’m happy to just spend time with them too!

About: I am a life-long animal lover. I have been mother to my three sweet cats George, Winnifred, and Maia for 9 years. My cats have had ups and downs and I have stood by my cats and administered medicine, cleaned up their messes, taken them to surgeries, and held their paws the whole time. I am excited to meet your pets and help them out! I am currently unemployed and happy to provide drop in services from 6 am to 3 pm. Additional times for drop ins can be discussed on a case by case basis. Happy to take pets for walks, play, feed, sift litter boxes, and clean up accidents. Administering medication can also be done, but after an initial drop in for consultation.

About: Let me bring your dog on an adventure - my dog walks start at $20 but I do hikes on a sliding scale. I have group play experience, I can bring your dog to a dog park without any fear that your dog will get into any sort of trouble. I'm a quiet, clean, petsitter, I will likely leave your house cleaner than it was when you let me in. "I have worked with Kae, of Little Lyons, for about a year. He is contentious, dedicated, and loving to all the people and pets he comes into contact with. I highly recommend his services and happily look forward to working with him again in the future." - Nicole E. "Kae dogsits for me when I go away on business trips or go into Boston for the weekend, and I could not recommend him more highly! He is caring and attentive to my dog; my dog gets so excited to see him. My dog is medium to high energy and Kae always tires her out. He is extremely knowledgable about dogs and dog behavior and has given me several tools to help keep my dog more mentally engaged and less stressed. Kae is punctual, he remembers all sorts of details about every dog, and he is my go-to whenever I need someone. Best dog sitter/walker in the Providence area!" - Kate R. I have worked with a doggy daycare, where I learnt dog behavior, and positive reinforcement training. I have worked in home pet sitting for dogs, cats, rabbits, snakes, tortoises, geckos, bearded lizards, salt and fresh water fish, for over a decade. Schedule a meet and greet with your pets! LGBTQIA+ friendly, Disability and Sensory Friendly I have kept strange hours for a very long time. I can fit your furry (or scaly or feathered) family into my schedule without issue. As a pet service professional, I like to make sure your pet is well attended to, and you feel as safe and comfortable as they do. I enjoy waking up to walk a client's dog, or making sure your cat feels safe before it's time to turn the lights off. You can rest assured while I am with your pets that they will be well attended to. A typical visit includes 15-20 minutes of play with your pet depending on energy levels, lots of positive attention and love, feeding and making sure they have access to water and making sure any business is done. As an overnight visitor, often for pets with anxiety or special needs/senior pets, I am with your pet in your home from 10pm-8am, plus visits during any of their usual scheduled feedings. As a dog walker, you can expect me to arrive and provide a full 30 minute walk to your pet. If you book through rover, you can also get a map of the walk we did, how long it took, and I provide pictures along the way. When it's time to go home, I make sure they and your home are safe and secure.

“Jay is awesome! Very responsive to messages and always goes above and beyond! My dogs love their weekly walks together! Would recommend hiring Jay to care for your pets”

About: I have been a lover and caretaker for animals since I was young. I foster puppy’s often and love it. Having the opportunity to train and prep them to find their forever homes is so special to me. From potty training, to obedience training and everything in between as a start to giving them their best lives! Through Fostering, I have learned how to connect with dogs on a different level. I would love to have the opportunity to walk, connect and take care of your animals as needed. I work part time and I have plenty of time to do drop ins or take your pups on a nice walk. Around the neighborhood or a few miles in the woods. What ever matches their energy. I treat every animal I care for like they are my own, keeping them safe and loved while they are in my care. ❤️ ❤️

About: I have had a passion for taking care of animals since a young age. I have experience with all types of animals. I worked as a doggy daycare attendant and a veterinary assistant, as well as shelter experience. I'm available for drop in visits and dog walking. I do not have a set schedule at work yet so I will have different availability every week. We do have a backyard which is not fenced in and a porch that I usually block off to let my dogs get outside for some fresh air.

“Pat was fantastic with my 7 month old puppy who is full of beans! She always came as planned and I could tell that he'd had the company and exercise!”

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up surrounded by them and have always loved caring for them. For the past 3 years, I’ve worked full-time with dogs, and I truly treat every pup like my own!! I currently work with a pet care company in another city, and I’m now looking to meet new local clients and pups! Feel free to reach out—I’d love to connect! I live in a home with a large, fully fenced yard and a park nearby, giving pups plenty of space to play and explore.

About: I've been caring for dogs for over 25 years and truly believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and understood. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, from tiny Chihuahuas to large breeds, as well as puppies, energetic adults, and senior dogs who require extra patience, medication, or special care. I'm naturally calm, dependable, and attentive to each pet's individual personality and routine. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply quiet companionship, I adapt my care to what makes them happiest. My goal is to keep their routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable while you're away. As someone who works for myself, I have the flexibility to provide reliable daytime care and give each visit my full attention. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring hands. I treat every pet as if they were one of my own. I work for myself, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide dependable, personalized care for your pets. I'm available Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, medication, and companionship. I always do my best to be punctual, reliable, and accommodate your pet's routine. Your pet's comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. I believe pets feel most secure when their normal routine is maintained, so I take the time to learn their habits, preferences, and any special needs. I'll care for your home with the same respect I would my own, provide regular updates with photos, and treat every pet like a member of my own family.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and caring for them has always come naturally to me. From growing up with dogs to caring for my own as an adult, I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, loved, and treated like family while you’re away. I also previously walked and cared for dogs for clients years ago, giving me hands-on experience with different breeds, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just a calm and comforting presence, I’ll make sure they feel happy, secure, and well cared for. I’m dependable, attentive, and truly enjoy spending time with animals — and I’ll care for your dog the same way I would want someone to care for mine. Providing pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work part time as a healthcare professional, which gives me several days off during the week, including weekends, allowing me to provide flexible and dependable care for your pets. On the days I do work, I still have availability during mornings and evenings for feedings, walks, check-ins, playtime, and companionship. Because caring for others is already a big part of who I am professionally and personally, I bring the same level of responsibility, patience, attentiveness, and compassion to every pet I care for. I understand how important consistency and reliability are for both pets and their owners, and I truly enjoy making animals feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their families are away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priority whether they are staying in my home or I am caring for them in yours. I provide a calm, clean, loving, and supervised environment where pets can feel safe and relaxed while maintaining their normal routines as much as possible. During walks and playtime, I stay highly attentive by using secure leashes and harnesses, avoiding unsafe areas or interactions, monitoring weather conditions, and always ensuring pets are safely supervised both indoors and outdoors. I understand that every pet has different needs, personalities, and comfort levels, and I take the time to build trust and provide individualized care, patience, and affection. As both a lifelong pet owner and healthcare professional, I take responsibility and safety very seriously, and you can feel confident knowing your pets will be treated with the same love, attention, and care that I give my own.

About: Hi, I’m Laurie! Animals have always been at the heart of my life and work. I run my own professional pet transport company, where I safely move pets across the country by both air and ground. Because of that experience, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, bunnies, and other small animals of all temperaments and personalities. Whether I’m boarding pets in my home or staying at yours, my goal is to give them the same comfort, attention, and love they’d get from you. I’m USDA certified, insured, and have a spotless driving record. I’m also a non-smoker and child-free, so all my focus goes to the pets in my care. I understand how stressful it can be for pets (and owners!) when routines are disrupted, so I make sure to keep feeding, walks, playtime, and snuggles as consistent as possible. I provide regular photo and video updates so you’ll never wonder how your pet is doing. Why Choose Me: • Years of hands-on experience with animals of all sizes and personalities • Small-scale, quality-over-quantity care (I only take on a manageable number of pets so each one gets the attention they deserve) • Compassionate, trustworthy, and dedicated to keeping your pets safe, happy, and stress-free Your pets aren’t just animals — they’re family. I’d be honored to care for them like my own. There is always someone at the house to care for the dogs, usually two or three people to provide frequent play and potty time outside How I Keep Pets Safe While Boarding: • I only board a small number of pets at a time so each one gets proper attention and supervision. • Pets are never left outside unattended. I use leashes, harnesses, and secure fenced areas for bathroom breaks and playtime. • Feeding is done separately when needed to avoid food guarding or scuffles between pets. • I sanitize bowls, bedding, and crates regularly to maintain a clean and healthy environment. • I follow each pet’s routine closely, including any medications, special diets, or exercise needs. • I provide constant check-ins and updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: I've had dogs in my life since I was a child, and for the past 7 years, I’ve been independently caring for them. From big to small breeds, I’ve handled a variety of dogs with different personalities and needs. I’ve provided drop-ins for bathroom breaks, feeding (including dogs with allergies or specific requirements), and I’m always excited to take dogs for walks and hikes. I’m experienced with both skittish pups and energetic jumpers—jumping doesn’t bother me, and I know how to manage it safely. I’ve also cared for dogs with basic health needs like administering pills or shots. Although I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I truly miss the companionship and bond that comes with spending time with a furry friend. I currently work 5 days in office. While I may not be able to stop in during the day, I have availability before and after work. I work between the hours of 8am-5pm, but I can be flexible based on your and your puppy’s need! I believe in the importance of meeting both the family and the dogs prior to sitting. This helps establish trust and ensures a smooth transition for both the pet and the family. I understand that it can be stressful for a dog to have a stranger in their home, so I like to take the time beforehand and allow the dog to become familiar with me.

About: My name is Shaina. I’ve had pets my entire life and for the past three years, I’ve started caring for others in addition to my own. I have experience caring for dogs with special needs, and of all different sizes and breeds. I’m not currently working, so my full time job would be caring for your pet! My focus is mainly dog walks/runs as I am a full time college student. I am also available for babysitting and occasional boarding. I live in a single family home with lots of land to run and play. I have a golden lab of my own that is extremely friendly with other dogs to keep yours company! If your pup doesn’t do well with other dogs, accommodations can be made so my dog and yours do not cross paths! Any dog i’ve met I have loved like my own! With all my skills I am able to provide a supervised, safe, and a stable environment for your pups!

About: With more than 20 years of experience in veterinary medicine and professional pet care, I bring a unique level of expertise, reliability, and compassion to every pet I serve. Throughout my career, I have worked closely with veterinarians and veterinary technicians, providing trusted pet sitting services for colleagues and clients alike. My extensive background ensures that your pets are in knowledgeable and capable hands at all times. I have successfully completed multiple background checks, reflecting my commitment to professionalism, integrity, and trustworthiness. I am also Fear Free Certified, which means i have advanced training in recognizing and reducing fear, anxiety, and stress in pets – allowing me to provide care that prioritizes both their physical and emotional well-being. Safety is always my top priority. I am certified in CPR fo humans, cats, and dogs, and I am highly experienced in administering a wide range of medications, including oral, injectable, transdermal, and subcutaneous treatments. Whether your pet requires routine care or more specialized medical attention, I am fully equipped to meet their needs with confidence and precision. Beyond medical care, I am dedicated to enriching your pet’s daily life. I prioritize meaningful interaction, socialization, and appropriate physical activity to ensure your pet remains happy, healthy, and engaged while you are away. Above all, I take great pride in being dependable, detail-orientated, and deeply respectful of the trust my clients place in me. I care for every pet as if they were my own, providing peace of mind and exceptional care you can rely on. I work full time at a veterinary hospital so if I'm pet-sitting your dog(s), I'll usually bring them with me to work with my dog. They have a fenced in yard where they can play during the day. If they are not social, they will just go out by themselves. If I'm watching your cat at your house, I will spend time with them around my work schedule, I will not subject them to daily trips in the car :) I have a fenced in yard and take frequent leash walks around my quiet and safe suburban neighborhood. We also love to hike if your pet is into that. Otherwise, your pet's needs dictate what I offer to them. If I'm watching them at your home, I try to stay to their schedule as much as possible.

About: I used to have a cat when I was little then we moved so we couldn’t. I’m getting a dog now to care for now. I currently have a daughter and I wanna be able to work from home and enjoy my daughter as well. Since I like animals this is good. I will take the pets for walks, feed them, play with them and just simply nurture them. They are just like kids they need love too.
