Dog Walking Boston Road

About: I have done both walking and house sitting for five years, and have worked with and am comfortable handling both large and small dogs. I grew up owning dogs, including a shitzu mix, a poodle mix, and a shelter girl of unknown exact breed but some sort of terrier mix (mom was a JRT). While all but one of the dogs I have owned were under 20 pounds, most of my history in pet sitting has been with has been with dogs in the 30-70 pound range, including labs, huskies, and a pit bull mix as my most frequent clients. I have experience with owning a fear reactive dog, but my comfort with taking care of them will be on a case by case basis. I also have experience with training young dogs for crating, potty training, and leash training I am currently exclusively self employed and have a flexible schedule with my income sources, so I am available most days and times of the week At this time I am only able to provide care in my clients home, I am unable to provide boarding due to limited space in my house I will work with owners to maintain your pets normal schedule, including feeding and walks. I am comfortable crating and using alternate feeders or feeding styles as needed Dogs will never be outside unattended, and will be kept on leash or in fenced in yards unless the owner specifically requests that I do otherwise. Cats will not be taken outside for any reason unless requested by owners. All animals will receive a significant amount of play and/or pet time during each visit, assuming the animal is comfortable with and enjoying it For drop ins, I will provide at least one update per visit including pictures. For continuous house sitting, as my standard I will provide at least three updates per day (morning, mid day, and afternoon/evening) with at least one photo per update. If you would like more or less updates, just let me know and I am fully willing to work with you to get you the amount of contact desired

“Erin has been absolutely amazing with my dog Earl. Since she has been walking him he’s more calm when I get home and behaves better for me on our walks. I would highly recommend her. Very friendly responsive and amazing with my pup!”

About: All my life I’ve had a variety of different animals all including dogs, cats, birds, turtles, rabbits, etc. You name it, I have owned it. In some time spans all at the same time. I would love to take all this experience that I was fortunate enough to obtain throughout the years and bring it to your home! I am currently enrolled at the Western New England University. At the time being as I am on summer break I am looking for something to do to take up all this newly acquired time. As well as make some extra money to go towards my tuitions. Since I have a love for animals I thought this was the perfect opportunity for me. At the moment I currently have 4 dogs, 3 cats, 2 rabbits and a cocktail. As you can imagine yes they can certainly be a handful but I couldnt imagine my life without them. Each and everyone being on a schedule of their own which is always never a problem.

“Eryn was punctual and friendly. She responds promptly to requests and lives nearby which is a huge plus! Will book again”

“Paul is a wonderful addition to my dog’s routine! I was scrambling to figure out what to do on my 12 hour days with my newly adopted rescue female pit mix when classes started this Fall. After reviewing a few profiles, Paul’s really stuck out as someone with both passion and genuine knowledge about dogs/dog behavior. I asked him to come meet my dog before we officially booked to ensure that she reacted well to him. Within the first few minutes, my dog was on her back requesting belly rubs. Needless to say, they hit it off! I feel very comfortable with Paul and SO pleased with how happy my dog looks in the pictures I get from their weekly walks. Even when she refuses to go outside in the rain, he spends time hanging out with her so she still gets some attention. I couldn’t be more appreciative and I’m sure my dog would 100% agree!”

About: I have been around animals my whole life. I believe its important to treat them well and with respect. I know how important it is for pets to be cared for while we're away Im available most mornings and evenings. I am currently available during the day as well. I take my own dog for walks every morning and evening as well. I can come and provide the animals food, fresh water and play with them if they are in the mood for that. In the case of dogs I'm happy to let them outside or go on a walk with them. I can play with them and make sure they are exercised.

About: I’m retired and take walks everyday and love animals I’ve had animals all my life and we love and respect all animals and there wellbeing Comfort and sanctuary and help my disabled wife be less depressed and give her something to that will help her get up in the morning Love them and give them the attention they deserve and care for them like they are my own animal and to play with them a lot

About: I worked in a dog daycare facility and have provided many services. I have experience feeding , giving medication, bathing and trimming nails. I have loved dogs all my life but have never had the chance to own one so I do my best to provide quality care and love to any dog I see. I am going to be doing some schooling so I will balance school work with my rover work as well as I can by leaving some days closed off so I can focus on my schoolwork. To start I am only going to be doing walks and drop ins to get used to how the river life works but will probably eventually provide all services.

About: Hi, my name is Marley, I am currently studying my graduate degree at Springfield College. Since I was 10 years old, I have volunteered at local dog and cat shelters whenever I have a couple open hours within the day: CPR (Companion Pet Rescue, Southbury CT), Heartland Humane Society (Corvallis OR), and Safe Haven Humane Society (Tangent OR). I have been dog sitting and cat sitting for local families for over 5 years just to help out and absolutely love it. I am always responsible of a pet’s health and prioritize them always. I currently have a part-time job where I do not work longer 5 hours in a day, I am also taking classes come September 24, but will easily prioritize checking in on your animals and making the time to care for them! I think that one of the most important jobs as a pet sitter is making sure nothing is rushed, which is why I spend as much time as needed with the animals I watch. I think it is crucial to make sure the animals are happy and healthy both when I arrive and when I leave. I love to take dogs on long walks, play with them outside, and give them the care they need (from feeding to outside time). As for cats, I think they deserve the same amount of attention and I will never pass up the opportunity to give a cat some pets!

“Thank you for the great communication and taking such great care of our Cooper!”

About: I’m a college graduate who has spent their whole life in the animal care world. Dogs big and small, young and old. Cats of all tempers. Even exotic pets! Birds, reptiles, bugs, rodents. I’ve done it all! It’s something I’m passionate about and take great pride in. With younger puppies I even can include some basic training. I’ve worked in the past with animals who are also sick if medication needs to be administered. I will make sure that the pet you love so much will be happy, comfortable, and safe. I’m a college graduate with a completely clear schedule! There might be times where I’m volunteering sometime mid-day on a weekday, but I don’t think it should get in the way at all :) needed care comes first! For the time being, I will not bring pets into my personal home. I’m still moving in and don’t want your precious pets getting into anything they shouldn’t in the mess! This will soon change, and I will let everyone know when that happens.

About: I’m so excited to meet you and your furry friend! As a dedicated pet sitter, my goal is to make sure your dog feels loved, safe, and happy while you’re away. Whether it’s long walks, playful fetch sessions, or just cozy cuddle time, I’ll treat your pup as if they were my own. Every tail wag, happy bark, and joyful moment matters to me, and I can’t wait to give your dog the care and attention they deserve. Let’s make their time with me an experience full of fun and love! I board/walk on a FT basis, I have 12yrs of experience and I would love the chance to sit your pup when needed. Can’t wait to meet you. I treat each and every pet like their my own. I’m very passionate about my love for dogs and I’ve have many since a kid.

About: I have cared for dogs since I got my first puppy when I was 12 years old. Since then I have volunteered for several years at a wolfdog sanctuary. When I worked at Hawaii Volcano National Park I volunteered to walk the Park hunting dogs and clean their enclosure several times a week. A have dog sat for a very elderly,infirm English mastiff that could no longer stand on its own. I am very experienced in getting puppers to take medication. I have done house/dog sat for up to a month at a time for 2 dogs and 3 cats, making sure they are all fed and entertained. I absolutely adore animals, but particularly love dogs. I am happy when they are happy. I am currently working towards making pet care more of a career as I transition out of my current job. I am a government employee who is looking to make a change in my work life. During the current shutdown, I am available anytime for all pet care needs. I have just moved into my first home with my fiance! We have a fenced backyard and a nice walkable neighborhood. Inside all of the furniture is dog friendly, so your puppers can snuggle up if they wish or have room to themselves. My number 1 priority is the comfort and happiness of the dog and I will always do my best to provide a safe and fun environment for them.
