Dog Walkers in Ashburnham, MA

About: I have taken care of dogs ranging from 5 months to 16 years old. You can count on me to give your pups all the love. My current job has flexible hours, which makes it easy for me to take pet-sitting jobs. I also have weekend and overnight availability. Whether it is an overnight house-sitting or just a quick walk for your dog, I can most likely fit it in my schedule! I strive to treat each pet and home as I would treat my own. I follow routines, engage with the pets, provide frequent updates, and ensure the pet and home is kept safe.

“Colin is amazing! He has watched Mulligan twice now, and has always been excellent with communication, special instructions, and just loving on Mulligan! He was able to come when I needed last minute help, and has been very good with letting me know how the time with Mulligan went. He is such a joy to have around Mulligan! I would highly recommend!”

“Tired pup! My dog Banjo has some quirks (pulling, chasing trucks, and biting at his leash) but Dan did great with him and I can tell Banjo had fun”

“Stefanie and Jay are fantastic! They've walked and boarded my German Shepherd, Colby, for a week and a half, and I couldn't be happier. They handle him with confidence and kindness, and their communication is excellent (love the photo updates!). What impressed me most was how well Colby got along with their cat during boarding – it shows their ability to manage different personalities. Their husband-wife team dynamic means they're super flexible and available, even last minute. They truly treat Colby like family, even giving him extra playtime on their daughter's birthday. Highly recommend!"”

About: *Going on Maternity leave April-July: Not accepting new clients during this time! Existing clients feel free to reach out* Please read through completely to guarantee a thorough understanding ❤️ DOG BOARDING: The dogs I watch must be good with other dogs, cats and children. While in my care, we try our best to replicate what your dog is used to at home and in return, we expect them to be well-mannered guests. CAT BOARDING: We only watch one households cats at a time. We will set up a home base that is free from additional stressors that will have their litter, food, and water. We will let your cat warm up to us at their own pace! Some acclimate quickly and walk around like they own the place immediately, while others keep to themselves. Our goal is to make your cat as comfortable as possible. DOGGY DAY CARE: Please be aware that my pricing is for 4 hour increments. If you’re looking for a longer stay, please say so! I’m happy to work with you to find a solution that works for you and your pup. During this time, your dog will get lots of exercise, cuddles and treats! My goal is they go home tired. 💤 CHECK-INS: I do ask that before we book a check-in, we do a trial run where you are in a separate room with the door closed to see if the dog responds positively or aggressively to a stranger in their home. If the dog does respond aggressively, ie barking lunging or biting, then we will need to slow down with check-ins to make them more comfortable with me before we begin. DAILY LIFE: I do my best to guarantee that your pet will be happy in my home. Caring for your pet is something our whole family takes part in! Someone is always home, as I work from home full-time and my husband does as well. I proudly strive to become a second family for your pet! SAFETY is my number one priority. Our front yard is completely fenced in, all of our rooms can be separated and dogs aren’t allowed into our 3-season room without a leash on. This is to avoid any escapes. I do require for dogs to be leashed upon drop off and they will be leashed when picked up. Requirements: -Pets must be on a flea preventative and up-to-date vaccinations. -Please be honest about your dogs requirements. I am open minded and eager to learn about your dog, but providing misinformation regarding your dog only hurts your dogs stay while here. Please be honest about crate-training, home schedule, feeding, potty training, and commands. -You must provide dog food for your dog. If during your dogs stay, there is not enough food for them, I will charge you for the additional cost of food as well as a $10 fee. -You must provide a collar/harness, and leash for your dog. I will not accept retractable leashes. -Cats must come with litter, scoop, and food/water dishes. I currently work from home, and have no problem taking dogs for walks, keeping them home with me, or letting them play in our fenced in yard. The intervals for animals to need to go out can be every 30 minutes to every 4 hours - I’m flexible! I have a fenced in yard and 2 friendly dogs who are always happy for a playmate. I always feed dogs separately. If needed, I have an extra XL crate that we can use for your pup. If you prefer no crates, no problem!

About: I’ve taken care of cats, dogs, snakes, chinchillas, quails, pigs, lizards, Guinea pigs, and bunnies. I am willing to learn how to take care of any animal and have given medicine/received special requests previously I work 4-8 hours a day and one of my jobs is a work from home job. My timing can can be flexible unless I am lifeguarding. I do not offer boarding. I do have pets of my own and would take care of other peoples’ animals according to the owner’s and their vets’ wishes and judgement

About: We have a great fenced back yard, it is divided in two different areas providing a better environment according to your pet's need, where your dog can enjoy a sand box, trampoline and even swim in the pool like our dog does(if he is used to it). If he enjoys to run and play our half acre yard should be a great option. In our home your pet will sleep with our dog and have the same attention we provide her. We also have a nice basement where Molly plays when raining and 2 dog kennels outside that she uses to take naps when she wants(door stays open all the time) with plenty space and all the comfort necessary, but she usually prefers to run free and play in the yard the entire day. One thing is for sure: your pet will be loved and treated as part of our family, having lots of fun with our kids, something he will not be able to get at a regular "dog hotel". We do ask the owner's that all dogs are groomed prior to the boarding/daycare. We also board other pets like birds, turtles, guinea pig, etc. Because we do not have a huge house eventually, depending on the number of dogs we may have on a certain day, we cannot accept big dogs like German Shepherd or dogs around the same size and weight. We do require a MEET AND GREET for new dogs. I have been a trainer for over 30 years. My kids do homeschool so your pet will not be alone. There's always someone around. Also my wife only leaves to work if Iam home. I have a friendly dog, Molly, that will play with your dog the entire day and besides that my two kids love to interact with all the pets we have around. I have been a dog trainer for over 30 years and I am happy I have been able to be around them my entire life. My entire family loves dogs.

“I came in from our of town for a family gathering and needed a last minute walker for my dog. Jeffery was great with communicating with me for the last minute need. Was great handling Denise (my 2.5 year old had) and they had a nice hour long stroll around the neighborhood. Would recommend”

“Amanda is my first experience with using a dog walker, and she has been a phenomenal help to me and my dog. She has been extremely professional, a great communicator, and her service is beyond what I had expected. My dog is always so happy to see her, and I love getting Amanda’s photos and updates from her visit. I plan to continue to use Amanda for recurring walks while I am at work. I highly recommend her!!”
